24Summary:
25========
26
27This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
28Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
32
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
34the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
36support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
52
53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
55maintainers.
56
57Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
58it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:

238Software Configuration:
239=======================
240
241Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
242rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
243
244There are two classes of configuration variables:
245
246* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
247  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
248  "CONFIG_".
249
250* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
251  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
252  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
253  "CONFIG_SYS_".
254
255Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
256identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
257do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
258links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
259as an example here.
260
261
262Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
263---------------------------------------------------
264
265For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
266configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
267
268Example: For a TQM823L module type:
269
270	cd u-boot
271	make TQM823L_config
272
273For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
274e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
275directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
276
277
278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
294The following options need to be configured:
295
296- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
297
298- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
299
300- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
301		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
302
303- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
304		Define exactly one of
305		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
306--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
307		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
308		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
309
310- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
311		Define exactly one of
312		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
313
314- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
315		Define one or more of
316		CONFIG_CMA302
317
318- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
319		Define one or more of
320		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
321					  the LCD display every second with
322					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
323
324- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
325		CONFIG_ADSTYPE
326		Possible values are:
327			CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS	- original MPC8260ADS
328			CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS	- MPC8266ADS
329			CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS	- PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
330			CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS	- MPC8272ADS
331
332- Marvell Family Member
333		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
334					  multiple fs option at one time
335					  for marvell soc family
336
337- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
338		Define exactly one of
339		CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
340
341- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
342		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
343					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
344					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
345					  reference PIT/RTC clock
346		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
347					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
348
349- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
350		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
351		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
352		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
353			See doc/README.MPC866
354
355		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
356
357		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
358		of relying on the correctness of the configured
359		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
360		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
361		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
362		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
363
364		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
365
366		Define this option if you want to enable the
367		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
368
369- 85xx CPU Options:
370		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
371
372		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
373		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
374		compliance, among other possible reasons.
375
376		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
377
378		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
379		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
380		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
381
382		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
383
384		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
385		tree nodes for the given platform.
386
387		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
388
389		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
390		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
391		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
392		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
393		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
394		purpose.
395
396		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
397
398		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
399		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
400		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
401
402		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
403		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
404
405		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
406		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
407
408		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
409		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
410		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
411		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
412
413		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
414		this erratum.
415
416		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
417		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
418		requred during NOR boot.
419
420		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
421
422		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
423		according to the A004510 workaround.
424
425		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
426		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
427		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
428
429		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
430		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
431
432- Generic CPU options:
433		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
434
435		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
436		values is arch specific.
437
438- Intel Monahans options:
439		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
440
441		Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
442		ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
443		frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
444
445		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
446
447		Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
448		ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
449		2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
450		by this value.
451
452- MIPS CPU options:
453		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
454
455		Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
456		pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
457		relocation.
458
459		CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
460
461		Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
462		See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
463		Possible values are:
464			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
465			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
466			CONF_CM_UNCACHED
467			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
468			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
469			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
470			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
471			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
472
473		CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
474
475		Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
476		See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
477
478		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
479
480		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
481		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
482		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
483
484- ARM options:
485		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
486
487		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
488		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
489
490		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
491
492		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
493		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
494		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
495		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
496		GCC.
497
498		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
499		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
500		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
501		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
502
503		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
504		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
505		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
506		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
507		set these options unless they apply!
508
509- CPU timer options:
510		CONFIG_SYS_HZ
511
512		The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer().
513		get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG
514		option must be set to 1000.
515
516- Linux Kernel Interface:
517		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
518
519		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
520		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
521		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
522		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
523		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
524		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
525		Linux kernel.
526		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
527		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
528		default environment.
529
530		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
531
532		When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
533		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
534		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
535
536		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
537
538		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
539		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
540		concepts).
541
542		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
543		 * New libfdt-based support
544		 * Adds the "fdt" command
545		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
546
547		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
548			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
549		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
550			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
551		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
552		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
553
554		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
555		addresses
556
557		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
558
559		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
560		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
561
562		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
563
564		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
565		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
566
567		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
568
569		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
570		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
571		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
572		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
573		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
574		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
575
576		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
577
578		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
579		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
580		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
581		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
582		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
583		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
584		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
585
586- vxWorks boot parameters:
587
588		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
589		environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
590		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
591
592		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
593		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
594		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
595		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
596
597		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
598
599		Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
600
601		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
602		the defaults discussed just above.
603
604- Cache Configuration:
605		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
606		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
607		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
608
609- Cache Configuration for ARM:
610		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
611				      controller
612		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
613					controller register space
614
615- Serial Ports:
616		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
617
618		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
619
620		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
621
622		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
623
624		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
625
626		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
627		the clock speed of the UARTs.
628
629		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
630
631		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
632		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
633		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
634
635		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
636
637		Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
638		have separate receive and transmit line control registers.  Set
639		this variable to initialize the extra register.
640
641		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
642
643		On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
644		boot loader that has already initialized the UART.  Define this
645		variable to flush the UART at init time.
646
647
648- Console Interface:
649		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
650		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
651		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
652		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
653
654		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
655		port routines must be defined elsewhere
656		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
657
658		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
659		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
660		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
661			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
662						(default big endian)
663			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
664						rectangle fill
665						(cf. smiLynxEM)
666			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
667						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
668			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
669						(cols=pitch)
670			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
671			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
672			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
673						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
674			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
675			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
676						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
677			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
678						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
679			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
680						(i.e. i8042_getc)
681			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
682						(requires blink timer
683						cf. i8042.c)
684			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
685			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
686						upper right corner
687						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
688			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
689						upper left corner
690			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
691						linux_logo.h for logo.
692						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
693			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
694						additional board info beside
695						the logo
696
697		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
698		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
699		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
700
701		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
702		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
703		environment 'console=serial'.
704
705		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
706		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
707		the "silent" environment variable. See
708		doc/README.silent for more information.
709
710- Console Baudrate:
711		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
712		Select one of the baudrates listed in
713		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
714		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
715
716- Console Rx buffer length
717		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
718		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
719		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
720		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
721		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
722		the SMC.
723
724- Pre-Console Buffer:
725		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
726		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
727		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
728		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
729		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
730		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
731		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
732		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
733		earlier bytes are discarded.
734
735		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
736		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
737
738- Safe printf() functions
739		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
740		the printf() functions. These are defined in
741		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
742		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
743		If this option is not given then these functions will
744		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
745		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
746
747- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
748		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
749		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
750		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
751		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
752
753		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
754		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
755		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
756		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
757		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
758		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
759		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
760		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
761		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
762		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
763		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
764		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
765
766- Autoboot Command:
767		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
768		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
769		define a command string that is automatically executed
770		when no character is read on the console interface
771		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
772
773		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
774		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
775		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
776		environment value "bootargs".
777
778		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
779		The value of these goes into the environment as
780		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
781		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
782		RAM and NFS.
783
784- Pre-Boot Commands:
785		CONFIG_PREBOOT
786
787		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
788		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
789		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
790		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
791		entering interactive mode.
792
793		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
794		automatically generated or modified. For an example
795		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
796		modified when the user holds down a certain
797		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
798		booting the systems
799
800- Serial Download Echo Mode:
801		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
802		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
803		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
804		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
805		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
806		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
807		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
808
809- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
810		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
811		Select one of the baudrates listed in
812		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
813
814- Monitor Functions:
815		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
816		from the build by using the #include files
817		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
818		commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
819		and augmenting with additional #define's
820		for wanted commands.
821
822		The default command configuration includes all commands
823		except those marked below with a "*".

926		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
927		support you can write:
928
929		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
930		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
931
932	Other Commands:
933		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
934
935	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
936		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
937		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
938		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
939		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
940		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
941		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
942		initial stack and some data.
943
944
945		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
946
947- Regular expression support:
948		CONFIG_REGEX
949                If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
950                the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
951                which adds regex support to some commands, as for
952                example "env grep" and "setexpr".
953
954- Device tree:
955		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
956		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
957		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
958		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
959		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
960		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
961
962		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
963		be done using one of the two options below:
964
965		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
966		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
967		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
968		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
969		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
970		the global data structure as gd->blob.
971
972		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
973		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
974		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
975		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
976
977			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
978
979		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
980		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
981		still use the individual files if you need something more
982		exotic.
983
984- Watchdog:
985		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
986		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
987		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
988		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
989		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
990		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
991		available, then no further board specific code should
992		be needed to use it.
993
994		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
995		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
996		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
997		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
998
999- U-Boot Version:
1000		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1001		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1002		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1003		version as printed by the "version" command.
1004		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1005		next reset.
1006
1007- Real-Time Clock:
1008
1009		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1010		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1011		following options:
1012
1013		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1014		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1015		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1016		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1017		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC

1282		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1283		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1284		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1285		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1286		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1287		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1288		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1289		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1290		a Linux host by
1291		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1292		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1293		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following

1306			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1307			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1308			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1309			speed.
1310

1503			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1504			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1505			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1506
1507		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1508		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1509		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1510		description of this variable.
1511
1512		CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1513
1514		Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1515		are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1516		driver.
1517
1518
1519- Keyboard Support:
1520		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1521
1522		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1523		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1524		defined in your board-specific files.
1525		The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1526
1527- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1528
1529		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1530		display); also select one of the supported displays
1531		by defining one of these:
1532
1533		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1534
1535			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1536
1537		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1538
1539			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1540
1541		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1542
1543			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1544			Active, color, single scan.
1545
1546		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1547
1548			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1549			Active, color, single scan.
1550
1551		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1552
1553			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1554			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1555
1556		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1557
1558			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1559			Active, color, single scan.
1560
1561		CONFIG_HLD1045
1562
1563			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1564			Active, color, single scan.
1565
1566		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1567
1568			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1569			or
1570			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1571			or
1572			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1573
1574			320x240. Black & white.
1575
1576		Normally display is black on white background; define
1577		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1578
1579		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1580
1581		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1582		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1583		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1584		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1585		a per-section basis.
1586
1587		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1588
1589		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1590		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1591		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1592		is slow.
1593
1594		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1595
1596		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1597
1598		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1599
1600		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1601		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1602
1603- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1604
1605		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1606		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1607		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1608		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1609		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1610		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1611		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1612		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1613
1614		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1615
1616		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1617		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1618		(see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1619		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1620		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1621		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1622		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1623		there is no need to set this option.
1624
1625		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1626
1627		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1628		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1629		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1630		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1631		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1632		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1633
1634		Example:
1635		setenv splashpos m,m
1636			=> image at center of screen
1637
1638		setenv splashpos 30,20
1639			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1640
1641		setenv splashpos -10,m
1642			=> vertically centered image
1643			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1644
1645- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1646
1647		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1648		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1649		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1650
1651- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1652
1653		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1654		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1655		bmp command.
1656
1657- Do compresssing for memory range:
1658		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1659
1660		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1661		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1662
1663- Compression support:
1664		CONFIG_BZIP2
1665
1666		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1667		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1668		compressed images are supported.
1669
1670		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1671		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1672		be at least 4MB.
1673
1674		CONFIG_LZMA
1675
1676		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1677		images is included.
1678
1679		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1680		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1681		formula:
1682
1683			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1684
1685		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1686		and Literal pos bits.
1687
1688		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1689		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1690		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1691		a very small buffer.
1692
1693		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1694		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1695		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1696
1697- MII/PHY support:
1698		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1699
1700		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1701
1702		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1703
1704		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1705
1706		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1707
1708		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1709		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1710
1711		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1712
1713		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1714		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1715		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1716		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1717
1718		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1719
1720		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1721		command issued before MII status register can be read
1722
1723- Ethernet address:
1724		CONFIG_ETHADDR
1725		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
1726		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
1727		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
1728		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
1729		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
1730
1731		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1732		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
1733		is not determined automatically.
1734
1735- IP address:
1736		CONFIG_IPADDR
1737
1738		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1739		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1740		determined through e.g. bootp.
1741		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
1742
1743- Server IP address:
1744		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1745
1746		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1747		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1748		(Environment variable "serverip")
1749
1750		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1751
1752		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1753		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1754
1755- Gateway IP address:
1756		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1757
1758		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1759		default router where packets to other networks are
1760		sent to.
1761		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
1762
1763- Subnet mask:
1764		CONFIG_NETMASK
1765
1766		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1767		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1768		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1769		forwarded through a router.
1770		(Environment variable "netmask")
1771
1772- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1773		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1774
1775		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1776		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1777		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1778		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1779		multicast group.
1780
1781- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1782		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1783
1784		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1785		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1786		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1787		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1788		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1789		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1790		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1791		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1792		following delays are inserted then:
1793
1794		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1795		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1796		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1797		4th and following
1798		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1799
1800- DHCP Advanced Options:
1801		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1802		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1803
1804		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1805		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1806		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1807		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1808		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1809		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1810		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1811		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1812		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1813		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1814		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1815		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1816		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1817
1818		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1819		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1820
1821		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1822		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1823		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
1824		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1825		is not available.
1826
1827		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1828		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1829		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1830		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1831		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1832		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1833		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1834		is defined.
1835
1836		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1837		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1838		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1839		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1840		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1841		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1842
1843		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1844
1845		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1846		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1847		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1848		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1849		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1850		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1851		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1852		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1853		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1854		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1855		this delay.
1856
1857 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1858		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1859		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1860		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1861		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1862
1863		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1864
1865 - CDP Options:
1866		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1867
1868		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1869
1870		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1871
1872		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1873		of the device.
1874
1875		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1876
1877		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1878		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1879		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1880
1881		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1882
1883		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1884		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1885
1886		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1887
1888		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1889
1890		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1891
1892		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1893
1894		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1895
1896		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1897
1898		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1899
1900		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1901		device in .1 of milliwatts.
1902
1903		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1904
1905		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1906
1907- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1908
1909		Several configurations allow to display the current
1910		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1911		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1912		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1913		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1914		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1915		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1916		feature in U-Boot.
1917
1918- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1919
1920		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1921		on those systems that support this (optional)
1922		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1923
1924- I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1925
1926		These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
1927		(but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
1928		include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
1929
1930		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
1931		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
1932		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1933		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
1934		command line interface.
1935
1936		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
1937
1938		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
1939		bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1940		support for I2C.
1941
1942		There are several other quantities that must also be
1943		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
1944
1945		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
1946		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
1947		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
1948		the CPU's i2c node address).
1949
1950		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
1951		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
1952		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1953		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1954		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
1955
1956		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1957
1958		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1959		chips might think that the current transfer is still
1960		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
1961		commands until the slave device responds.
1962
1963		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
1964
1965		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1966		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1967		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
1968
1969		I2C_INIT
1970
1971		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
1972		controller or configure ports.
1973
1974		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
1975
1976		I2C_PORT
1977
1978		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1979		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1980		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
1981
1982		I2C_ACTIVE
1983
1984		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1985		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
1986		define can be null.
1987
1988		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
1989
1990		I2C_TRISTATE
1991
1992		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1993		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
1994		define can be null.
1995
1996		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1997
1998		I2C_READ
1999
2000		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2001		false if it is low.
2002
2003		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2004
2005		I2C_SDA(bit)
2006
2007		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2008		is false, it clears it (low).
2009
2010		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2011			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2012			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2013
2014		I2C_SCL(bit)
2015
2016		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2017		is false, it clears it (low).
2018
2019		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2020			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2021			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2022
2023		I2C_DELAY
2024
2025		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2026		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2027		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2028		like:
2029
2030		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2031
2032		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2033
2034		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2035		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2036		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2037		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2038
2039		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2040		the generic GPIO functions.
2041
2042		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2043
2044		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2045		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2046		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2047		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2048		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2049		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2050		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2051		is run early in the boot sequence.
2052
2053		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2054
2055		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2056		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2057		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2058		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2059		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2060		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2061		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2062		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2063
2064		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2065
2066		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2067		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2068		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2069
2070		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2071
2072		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2073		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2074		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2075		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2076
2077		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2078
2079		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2080		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2081		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2082		a 1D array of device addresses
2083
2084		e.g.
2085			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2086			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2087
2088		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2089
2090			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2091			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2092
2093		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2094
2095		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2096
2097		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2098		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2099
2100		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2101
2102		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2103		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2104
2105		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2106
2107		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2108		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2109
2110		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2111
2112		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2113		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2114		specified DTT device.
2115
2116		CONFIG_FSL_I2C
2117
2118		Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
2119		drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
2120
2121		CONFIG_I2C_MUX
2122
2123		Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
2124		I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
2125		Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2126		new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2127		new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2128		the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2129
2130		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2131		feature!
2132
2133		Example:
2134		Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2135			The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2136			The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2137
2138		=> i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2139
2140		Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2141		of I2C Busses with muxes:
2142
2143		=> i2c bus
2144		Busses reached over muxes:
2145		Bus ID: 2
2146		  reached over Mux(es):
2147		    pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2148		Bus ID: 3
2149		  reached over Mux(es):
2150		    pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2151		    pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2152		=>
2153
2154		If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
2155		u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2156		channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
2157		the channel 4.
2158
2159		After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
2160		usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
2161		the 2 muxes.
2162
2163		This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2164		algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2165		Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2166		to add this option to other architectures.
2167
2168		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2169
2170		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2171		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2172		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2173		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2174		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2175		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2176		the other.
2177
2178- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2179
2180		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2181		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2182		D/As on the SACSng board)
2183
2184		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2185
2186		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2187		only SH7757 is supported.
2188
2189		CONFIG_SPI_X
2190
2191		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2192		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2193
2194		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2195
2196		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2197		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2198		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2199		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2200		defined, the board configuration must define several
2201		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2202		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2203
2204		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2205
2206		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2207		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2208		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2209		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2210		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2211
2212		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2213
2214		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2215		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2216
2217- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2218
2219		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2220
2221		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2222
2223		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2224		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2225
2226		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2227
2228		Enables support for FPGA family.
2229		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2230
2231		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2232
2233		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2234
2235		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2236
2237		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2238
2239		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2240
2241		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2242		status by the configuration function. This option
2243		will require a board or device specific function to
2244		be written.
2245
2246		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2247
2248		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2249		configuration driver.
2250
2251		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2252		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2253
2254		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2255
2256		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2257		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2258		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2259		indicated a CRC error).
2260
2261		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2262
2263		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2264		after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2265		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2266		ms.
2267
2268		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2269
2270		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
2271		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2272
2273		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2274
2275		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2276		200 ms.
2277
2278- Configuration Management:
2279		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2280
2281		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2282		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2283
2284- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2285
2286		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2287		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2288		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2289		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2290		protects these variables from casual modification by
2291		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2292		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2293		change this behaviour:
2294
2295		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2296		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2297		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2298		these parameters.
2299
2300		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2301		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2302		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2303		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2304		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2305		read-only.]
2306
2307		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2308		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2309		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2310		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2311
2312- Protected RAM:
2313		CONFIG_PRAM
2314
2315		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2316		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2317		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2318		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2319		this default value by defining an environment
2320		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2321		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2322		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2323		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2324		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2325		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2326		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2327
2328			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2329			saveenv
2330
2331		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2332		either, which results in a memory region that will
2333		not be affected by reboots.
2334
2335		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2336		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2337		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2338		following board configurations are known to be
2339		"pRAM-clean":
2340
2341			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2342			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2343			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2344
2345- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2346		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2347		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2348		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2349		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2350		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2351		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2352
2353- Error Recovery:
2354		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2355
2356		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2357		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2358		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2359		system where you want the system to reboot
2360		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2361		useful during development since you can try to debug
2362		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2363
2364		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2365
2366		This variable defines the number of retries for
2367		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2368		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2369		default value of 5 is used.
2370
2371		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2372
2373		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2374
2375		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2376
2377		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2378		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2379		try longer timeout such as
2380		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2381
2382- Command Interpreter:
2383		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2384
2385		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2386
2387		Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2388		for the "hush" shell.
2389
2390
2391		CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
2392
2393		Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2394		Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2395		powerful command line syntax like
2396		if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2397		constructs ("shell scripts").
2398
2399		If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2400		with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2401
2402
2403		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2404
2405		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2406		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2407		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2408
2409	Note:
2410
2411		In the current implementation, the local variables
2412		space and global environment variables space are
2413		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2414		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2415		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2416		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2417		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2418
2419		Global environment variables are those you use
2420		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2421		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2422		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2423
2424		To store commands and special characters in a
2425		variable, please use double quotation marks
2426		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2427		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2428		symbols.
2429
2430- Commandline Editing and History:
2431		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2432
2433		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2434		commandline input operations
2435
2436- Default Environment:
2437		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2438
2439		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2440		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2441		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2442
2443		For example, place something like this in your
2444		board's config file:
2445
2446		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2447			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2448			"myvar2=value2\0"
2449
2450		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2451		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2452		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2453		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2454		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2455		You better know what you are doing here.
2456
2457		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2458		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2459		the environment like the "source" command or the
2460		boot command first.
2461
2462		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2463
2464		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2465		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2466		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2467
2468		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2469
2470		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2471		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2472		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2473		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2474		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2475
2476		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2477
2478		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2479		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2480		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2481
2482		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2483
2484		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2485		intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2486		that so that the environment is not available until
2487		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2488		this is instead controlled by the value of
2489		/config/load-environment.
2490
2491- DataFlash Support:
2492		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2493
2494		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2495		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2496		commands cp, md...
2497
2498- Serial Flash support
2499		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2500
2501		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2502		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2503
2504		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2505		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2506		commands.
2507
2508		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2509		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2510		flash is present on the system.
2511
2512		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2513		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2514		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2515		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2516
2517		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2518
2519		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2520		test ('sf test').
2521
2522		CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR		Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2523
2524		Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2525		support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2526
2527- SystemACE Support:
2528		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2529
2530		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2531		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2532		of the chip must also be defined in the
2533		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2534
2535		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2536		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2537
2538		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2539		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2540
2541- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2542		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2543
2544		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2545		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2546		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2547		number generator is used.
2548
2549		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2550		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2551		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2552
2553		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2554		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2555		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2556		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2557		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2558		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2559		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2560
2561- Hashing support:
2562		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2563
2564		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2565		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2566
2567		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2568
2569		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2570		size a little.
2571
2572		CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2573		CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2574
2575		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2576		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2577
2578- Signing support:
2579		CONFIG_RSA
2580
2581		This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2582		in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2583
2584		The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2585		option.
2586
2587
2588- Show boot progress:
2589		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2590
2591		Defining this option allows to add some board-
2592		specific code (calling a user-provided function
2593		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2594		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2595		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2596		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2597
2598- Detailed boot stage timing
2599		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2600		Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2601		of the boot process.
2602
2603		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2604		This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2605		Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2606		a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2607		the limit, recording will stop.
2608
2609		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2610		Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2611
2612		Timer summary in microseconds:
2613		       Mark    Elapsed  Stage
2614			  0          0  reset
2615		  3,575,678  3,575,678  board_init_f start
2616		  3,575,695         17  arch_cpu_init A9
2617		  3,575,777         82  arch_cpu_init done
2618		  3,659,598     83,821  board_init_r start
2619		  3,910,375    250,777  main_loop
2620		 29,916,167 26,005,792  bootm_start
2621		 30,361,327    445,160  start_kernel
2622
2623		CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2624		Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2625		and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2626
2627		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2628		Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2629		node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2630		has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2631		mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2632		accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2633		For example:
2634
2635		bootstage {
2636			154 {
2637				name = "board_init_f";
2638				mark = <3575678>;
2639			};
2640			170 {
2641				name = "lcd";
2642				accum = <33482>;
2643			};
2644		};
2645
2646		Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2803		Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
2804
2805		CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
2806		When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
2807		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
2808		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
2809		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
2810		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
2811
2812		CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE

2814		using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See
2815		doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
2816
2817- Standalone program support:
2818		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2819
2820		This option defines a board specific value for the
2821		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2822		overwriting the architecture dependent default
2823		settings.
2824
2825- Frame Buffer Address:
2826		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2827
2828		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
2829		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
2830		when using a graphics controller has separate video
2831		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2832		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2833		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2834		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2835		configured panel size.
2836
2837		Please see board_init_f function.
2838
2839- Automatic software updates via TFTP server

2866		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
2867
2868		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
2869		warnings and errors enabled.
2870
2871- UBIFS support
2872		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
2873
2874		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
2875		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
2876
2877		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
2878
2879		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

3005		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3006		Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3007
3008		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3009		Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3010		expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3011
3012		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3013		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3014		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3015		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3016		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3017		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3018		to read U-Boot
3019
3020		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3021		Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3022
3023		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3024		Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3025
3026		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3027		Size of image to load
3028
3029		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3030		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3031
3032		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3033		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3034		data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms.
3035
3036		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3037		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3038		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3039
3040		CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
3041		Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary
3042
3043		CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT
3044		Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary
3045
3046		CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT
3047		Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary
3048
3049		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3050		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3051
3052		CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT
3053		Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary
3054
3055		CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
3056		Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3057
3058		CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3059		Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3060		It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3061		CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3062
3063		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3064		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3065		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3066		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3067		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3068		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3069
3070		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3071		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3072		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3073		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3074
3075		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3076		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3077		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3078		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3079		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3080
3081Modem Support:
3082--------------
3083
3084[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3085
3086- Modem support enable:
3087		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3088
3089- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3090		CONFIG_HWFLOW
3091
3092- Modem debug support:
3093		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3094
3095		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3096		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3097
3098- Interrupt support (PPC):
3099
3100		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3101		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3102		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3103		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3104		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3105		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3106		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3107		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3108		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3109		general timer_interrupt().
3110
3111- General:
3112
3113		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3114		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3115		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3116		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3117		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3118		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3119		initialization.
3120
3121		If there are no modem init strings in the
3122		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3123		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3124		suppressed, though.
3125
3126		See also: doc/README.Modem
3127
3128Board initialization settings:
3129------------------------------
3130
3131During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3132to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3133before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3134following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3135architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3136typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3137
3138- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3139- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3140- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3141- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3142
3143Configuration Settings:
3144-----------------------
3145
3146- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3147		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3148
3149- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3150		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3151
3152- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3153		prompt for user input.
3154
3155- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3156
3157- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3158
3159- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3160
3161- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3162		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3163		booted
3164
3165- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3166		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3167
3168- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3169		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3170
3171- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3172		If the board specific function
3173			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3174		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3175		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3176
3177- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3178		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3179
3180- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3181		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3182
3183- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3184		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3185		simple memory test.
3186
3187- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3188		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3189
3190- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3191		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3192		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3193
3194- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3195		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3196		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3197		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3198		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3199		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3200		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3201		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3202		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3203		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3204
3205		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3206		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3207		be touched.
3208
3209		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3210		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3211		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3212		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3213		problems.
3214
3215- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3216		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3217
3218- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3219		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3220
3221- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3222		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3223		Cogent motherboard)
3224
3225- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3226		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3227
3228- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3229		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3230		make config files to be same as the text base address
3231		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3232		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3233
3234- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3235		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3236		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3237		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3238		flash sector.
3239
3240- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3241		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3242
3243- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3244		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3245		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3246		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3247		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3248
3249- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3250		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3251		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3252		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3253		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3254		enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3255		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3256		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3257		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3258		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3259		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3260
3261- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3262		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3263		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3264		is enabled.
3265
3266- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3267		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3268		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3269
3270- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3271		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3272		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3273
3274- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3275		Max number of Flash memory banks
3276
3277- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3278		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3279
3280- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3281		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3282
3283- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3284		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3285
3286- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3287		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3288
3289- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3290		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3291
3292- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3293		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3294		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3295
3296- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3297
3298		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3299		without this option such a download has to be
3300		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3301		copy from RAM to flash.
3302
3303		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3304		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3305		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3306		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3307		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3308
3309- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3310		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3311		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3312
3313- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3314		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3315		in the drivers directory
3316
3317- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3318		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3319		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3320		to the MTD layer.
3321
3322- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3323		Use buffered writes to flash.
3324
3325- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3326		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3327		write commands.
3328
3329- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3330		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3331		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3332		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3333		optionally available.
3334
3335- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3336		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3337		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3338		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3339
3340- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3341		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3342		against the source after the write operation. An error message
3343		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3344		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3345		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3346		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3347		this option if you really know what you are doing.
3348
3349- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3350		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3351		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3352		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3353		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3354		on high Ethernet traffic.
3355		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3356
3357- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3358
3359	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3360	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3361	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3362	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3363	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3364
3365- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3366- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3367	Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3368	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3369	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3370	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3371
3372	The format of the list is:
3373		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3374		access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
3375		attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
3376		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3377		list = entry[,list]
3378
3379	The type attributes are:
3380		s - String (default)
3381		d - Decimal
3382		x - Hexadecimal
3383		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3384		i - IP address
3385		m - MAC address
3386
3387	The access attributes are:
3388		a - Any (default)
3389		r - Read-only
3390		o - Write-once
3391		c - Change-default
3392
3393	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3394		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3395		envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3396
3397	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3398		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3399		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3400		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
3401		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3402		".flags" variable.
3403
3404- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3405	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3406	access flags.
3407
3408- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3409	This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3410	architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3411	to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3412	arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3413	common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3414	must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3415	its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3416	your board please report the problem and send patches!
3417
3418- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3419	This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3420	instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3421	offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3422	directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3423
3424- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3425	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3426	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3427	the value can be calulated on a given board.
3428
3429The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3430of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3431following configurations:
3432
3433- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3434
3435	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3436	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3437
3438- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3439
3440	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3441
3442	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3443	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3444	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3445	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3446	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3447	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3448	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3449	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3450	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3451	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3452	   between U-Boot and the environment.
3453
3454	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3455
3456	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3457	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3458	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3459	   for this sector is given here.
3460
3461	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3462
3463	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3464
3465	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
3466	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3467	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3468
3469	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3470
3471	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
3472
3473
3474	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3475	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3476	   the environment.
3477
3478	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3479
3480	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3481	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3482	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3483	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3484
3485	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3486	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3487	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3488	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3489	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3490	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
3491	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3492	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3493	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
3494
3495	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3496	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3497
3498	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3499	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3500	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3501	   a "saveenv" operation.
3502
3503BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3504source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3505accordingly!
3506
3507
3508- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3509
3510	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3511	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3512	environment.
3513
3514	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3515	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3516
3517	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3518	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3519	  can just be read and written to, without any special
3520	  provision.
3521
3522BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3523in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3524console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3525U-Boot will hang.
3526
3527Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3528environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3529keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3530to save the current settings.
3531
3532
3533- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3534
3535	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3536	device and a driver for it.
3537
3538	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3539	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3540
3541	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3542	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3543
3544	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3545	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3546	  The default address is zero.
3547
3548	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3549	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3550	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
3551	  would require six bits.
3552
3553	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3554	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3555	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
3556
3557	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3558	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
3559	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
3560
3561	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3562	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3563	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3564	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3565	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3566	  byte chips.
3567
3568	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3569	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3570	  in the chip address.
3571
3572	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3573	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3574
3575	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3576	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3577	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3578
3579	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3580	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3581	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3582	  EEPROM. For example:
3583
3584	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  "pca9547:70:d\0"
3585
3586	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3587	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3588
3589- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3590
3591	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3592	want to use for the environment.
3593
3594	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3595	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3596	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3597
3598	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3599	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3600	  at the specified address.
3601
3602- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3603
3604	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3605	want to use for the local device's environment.
3606
3607	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3608	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3609
3610	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3611	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
3612	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
3613	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3614
3615BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3616"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3617environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3618but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3619
3620- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3621
3622	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3623	for the environment.
3624
3625	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3626	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3627
3628	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3629	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3630	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3631
3632	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3633
3634	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3635	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3636	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3637	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
3638	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3639
3640	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3641
3642	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3643	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3644	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3645	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3646	  the range to be avoided.
3647
3648	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3649
3650	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3651	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
3652	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3653	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3654	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3655
3656- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3657
3658	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3659	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3660	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3661
3662- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3663
3664	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3665	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3666	accesses, which is important on NAND.
3667
3668	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3669
3670	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3671
3672	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3673
3674	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3675	  environment in.
3676
3677	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3678
3679	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3680	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3681	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3682
3683	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3684	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3685
3686	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3687	  when storing the env in UBI.
3688
3689- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3690
3691	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3692	environment.
3693
3694	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3695
3696	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3697
3698	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3699
3700	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3701	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3702	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3703
3704	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3705	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3706
3707	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3708	  area within the specified MMC device.
3709
3710	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3711	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3712	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3713	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3714	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3715	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3716	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3717
3718	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3719	  MMC sector boundary.
3720
3721	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3722
3723	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3724	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3725	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3726	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3727
3728	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3729	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3730
3731	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3732	  an MMC sector boundary.
3733
3734	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3735
3736	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3737	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3738	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3739
3740- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
3741
3742	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3743	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3744	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3745	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3746	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3747	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3748	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3749
3750Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
3751has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
3752created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
3753until then to read environment variables.
3754
3755The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3756is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3757with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3758necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3759"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3760have any device yet where we could complain.]
3761
3762Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3763the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
3764use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
3765
3766- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
3767		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
3768
3769		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
3770		      also needs to be defined.
3771
3772- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
3773		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
3774
3775- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3776		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3777		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3778		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
3779		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3780		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3781
3782- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3783		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3784		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3785		to do this.
3786
3787- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3788		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3789		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3790		present.
3791
3792Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
3793---------------------------------------------------
3794
3795- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
3796		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
3797
3798- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
3799		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
3800
3801		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
3802		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
3803		the IMMR register after a reset.
3804
3805- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3806		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3807		PowerPC SOCs.
3808
3809- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3810		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3811		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3812
3813		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3814		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3815
3816- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3817		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
3818		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
3819		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
3820		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
3821		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
3822		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3823
3824		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3825			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3826
3827- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
3828		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
3829		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
3830		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3831		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3832
3833- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3834		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
3835		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3836		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3837
3838- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3839		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3840		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
3841
3842- Floppy Disk Support:
3843		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
3844
3845		the default drive number (default value 0)
3846
3847		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
3848
3849		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
3850		(default value 1)
3851
3852		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
3853
3854		defines the offset of register from address. It
3855		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
3856		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
3857
3858		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
3859		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
3860		default value.
3861
3862		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
3863		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
3864		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
3865		source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
3866		initializations.
3867
3868- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
3869		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3870		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3871		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3872		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3873		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
3874		is requierd.
3875
3876- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
3877		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
3878		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
3879
3880- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
3881
3882		Start address of memory area that can be used for
3883		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
3884		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
3885		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
3886		will become available only after programming the
3887		memory controller and running certain initialization
3888		sequences.
3889
3890		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
3891		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
3892		- MPC824X: data cache
3893		- PPC4xx:  data cache
3894
3895- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
3896
3897		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
3898		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3899		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
3900		data is located at the end of the available space
3901		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
3902		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
3903		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
3904		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
3905
3906	Note:
3907		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3908		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
3909		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
3910		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
3911		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
3912
3913- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR:	SIU Module Configuration (11-6)

3941  CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM:
3942		Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
3943

3945  CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL:
3946		Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer
3947		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
3948
3949- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
3950		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
3951		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
3952
3953- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
3954		enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
3955		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1]
3956
3957- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
3958		enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
3959		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
3960
3961- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
3962		Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
3963		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
3964		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
3965
3966- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
3967		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
3968		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
3969		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
3970		cpm_8260.h.
3971
3972- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
3973  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

3981
3982- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
3983		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
3984		required.
3985
3986- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
3987		Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
3988		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
3989		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
3990		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
3991		by coreboot or similar.
3992
3993- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
3994		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
3995
3996- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
3997		Chip has SRIO or not
3998
3999- CONFIG_SRIO1:
4000		Board has SRIO 1 port available
4001
4002- CONFIG_SRIO2:
4003		Board has SRIO 2 port available
4004
4005- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
4006		Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
4007
4008- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:

4013
4014- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4015		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4016
4017- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4018		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4019		a 16 bit bus.
4020		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4021		Example of drivers that use it:
4022		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4023		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4024
4025- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4026		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4027		a default value will be used.
4028
4029- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM

4031		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4032
4033  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4034		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4035
4036- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM

4039		to something your driver can deal with.
4040
4041- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4042		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4043		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing

4045		header files or board specific files.
4046
4047- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4048		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4049
4050- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4051		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4052		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4053
4054- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4055		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4056
4057- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4058		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4059		to the given FEC; i. e.
4060			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4061		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4062
4063		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4064
4065- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4066		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4067		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4068
4069- CONFIG_RMII
4070		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4071		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4072		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4073
4074- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4075		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4076		The syntax is:
4077
4078		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4079
4080		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4081		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4082		area should have.
4083
4084- CONFIG_LOOPW
4085		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4086		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4087
4088- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4089		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4090		"md/mw" commands.
4091		Examples:
4092
4093		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4094		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4095
4096		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4097		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4098
4099		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4100		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4101
4102- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4103		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4104		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4105		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4106		relocate itself into RAM.
4107
4108		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4109		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4110		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4111		these initializations itself.
4112
4113- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4114		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4115		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4116		compiling a NAND SPL.
4117
4118- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4119		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4120		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4121		previous 4k of the .text section.
4122
4123- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4124		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4125		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4126		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4127		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4128		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4129		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4130		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4131
4132- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4133  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4134		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4135		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4136		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4137
4138- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4139		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4140		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4141
4142- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4143		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4144
4145		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4146
4147Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4148-----------------------------------
4149
4150The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4151loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4152This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4153are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4154within that device.
4155
4156- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4157	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
4158	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4159	is also specified.
4160
4161- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4162	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4163	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4164	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4165	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4166
4167- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4168	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4169	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4170	virtual address in NOR flash.
4171
4172- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4173	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4174	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4175
4176- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4177	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4178	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4179
4180- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4181	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4182	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4183
4184- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4185	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4186	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4187	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4188	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4189	master's memory space.
4190
4191Building the Software:
4192======================
4193
4194Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4195and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4196all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4197(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4198recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4199which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4200
4201If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4202have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4203you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4204Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4205necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4206
4207	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4208	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
4209
4210Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4211      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4212      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4213      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
4214
4215       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4216
4217      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4218      be executed on computers running Windows.
4219
4220U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4221sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4222is done by typing:
4223
4224	make NAME_config
4225
4226where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4227rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4228
4229Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4230      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4231      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4232      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4233      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4234
4235      make TQM823L_config
4236	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4237
4238      make TQM823L_LCD_config
4239	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4240
4241      etc.
4242
4243
4244Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4245images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4246
4247- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4248- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4249- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4250
4251By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4252in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4253this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4254
42551. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4256
4257	make O=/tmp/build distclean
4258	make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4259	make O=/tmp/build all
4260
42612. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4262
4263	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4264	make distclean
4265	make NAME_config
4266	make all
4267
4268Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4269variable.
4270
4271
4272Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4273for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4274native "make".
4275
4276
4277If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4278to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4279steps:
4280
42811.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4282    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4283    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
42842.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4285    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4286    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
42873.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4288    your board
42893.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4290    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
42914.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
42925.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4293    to be installed on your target system.
42946.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4295    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4296
4297
4298Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4299==============================================================
4300
4301If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4302or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4303provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4304the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4305official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4306
4307But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4308cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4309the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4310just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
4311for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4312select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4313environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4314you can type
4315
4316	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4317
4318or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4319
4320	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4321
4322When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4323U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4324setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4325built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4326<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4327location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4328variable. For example:
4329
4330	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4331	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4332	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4333
4334With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4335log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4336during the whole build process.

4391Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
4392========================================
4393
4394TODO.
4395
4396For now: just type "help <command>".
4397
4398
4399Environment Variables:
4400======================
4401
4402U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4403can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4404
4405Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4406"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4407without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4408environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4409working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4410environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4411
4412Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4413
4414List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4415
4416  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4417
4418  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4419
4420  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4421
4422  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4423
4424  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
4425
4426  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4427		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4428		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4429		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4430		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4431		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4432		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4433		  bootm_mapsize.
4434
4435  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4436		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4437		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4438		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4439		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4440		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4441		  used otherwise.
4442
4443  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4444		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4445		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4446		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4447		  environment variable.
4448
4449  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4450		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4451		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4452
4453  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4454		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4455		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4456		  load any image using TFTP
4457
4458  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4459		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4460		  be automatically started (by internally calling
4461		  "bootm")
4462
4463		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4464		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4465		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4466		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4467		  data.
4468
4469  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4470		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4471		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4472		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4473		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4474		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4475		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4476		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4477		  access it during the boot procedure.
4478
4479		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4480		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
4481		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4482		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4483		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4484		  must be accessible by the kernel.
4485
4486  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4487		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4488		  defined.
4489
4490  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4491		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4492		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4493		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4494		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
4495
4496  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
4497		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4498		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4499		  is usually what you want since it allows for
4500		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4501		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4502		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4503		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4504		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4505		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4506		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4507
4508		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4509		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4510		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4511		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4512		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4513		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
4514
4515		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4516
4517		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4518		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4519		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4520		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4521		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4522		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
4523		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4524
4525  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4526
4527  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4528		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4529
4530  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4531
4532  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4533
4534  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4535
4536  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4537
4538  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4539
4540  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
4541
4542  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
4543		  For example you can do the following
4544
4545		  => setenv ethact FEC
4546		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4547		  => setenv ethact SCC
4548		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4549
4550  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4551		  available network interfaces.
4552		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4553
4554  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
4555		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
4556		  When set to "once" the network operation will
4557		  fail when all the available network interfaces
4558		  are tried once without success.
4559		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4560		  themselves.
4561
4562  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
4563
4564  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4565		  UDP source port.
4566
4567  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4568		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4569
4570  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4571		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
4572
4573  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4574		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4575		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4576		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4577		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4578		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4579		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
4580
4581  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4582		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4583		  VLAN tagged frames.
4584
4585The following image location variables contain the location of images
4586used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4587not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4588variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4589server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4590loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4591flash or offset in NAND flash.
4592
4593*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4594boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4595boards use these variables for other purposes.
4596
4597Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
4598-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
4599u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
4600Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
4601device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
4602ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
4603
4604The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4605updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4606depending the information provided by your boot server:
4607
4608  bootfile	- see above
4609  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
4610  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4611  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4612  hostname	- Target hostname
4613  ipaddr	- see above
4614  netmask	- Subnet Mask
4615  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4616  serverip	- see above
4617
4618
4619There are two special Environment Variables:
4620
4621  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
4622		  as type string and/or serial number
4623  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
4624
4625These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4626the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4627once they have been set once.
4628
4629
4630Further special Environment Variables:
4631
4632  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4633		  with the "version" command. This variable is
4634		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4635
4636
4637Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4638only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4639
4640
4641Callback functions for environment variables:
4642---------------------------------------------
4643
4644For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4645when their values are changed.  This functionailty allows functions to
4646be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
4647deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4648effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4649
4650The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4651U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4652
4653These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
4654static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4655in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4656associations.  The list must be in the following format:
4657
4658	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4659	list = entry[,list]
4660
4661If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4662Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4663
4664Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4665with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
4666override any association in the static list. You can define
4667CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4668".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4669
4670
4671Command Line Parsing:
4672=====================
4673
4674There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4675the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
4676
4677Old, simple command line parser:
4678--------------------------------
4679
4680- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4681- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
4682- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
4683- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4684  for example:
4685	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
4686- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4687	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
4688
4689Hush shell:
4690-----------
4691
4692- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4693  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4694  until...do...done, ...
4695- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4696  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4697  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4698  command
4699
4700General rules:
4701--------------
4702
4703(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4704    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4705    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4706    executed anyway.
4707
4708(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
4709    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
4710    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4711    variables are not executed.
4712
4713Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4714=======================================
4715
4716Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
4717such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4718"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
4719
4720Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4721MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4722"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
4723
4724If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4725in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4726ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4727variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
4728
4729o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4730  environment, the SROM's address is used.
4731
4732o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4733  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4734  used.
4735
4736o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4737  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
4738
4739o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4740  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4741  warning is printed.
4742
4743o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4744  is raised.
4745
4746If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
4747will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
4748may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4749The naming convention is as follows:
4750"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
4751
4752Image Formats:
4753==============
4754
4755U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4756images in two formats:
4757
4758New uImage format (FIT)
4759-----------------------
4760
4761Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4762to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4763components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4764SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4765
4766
4767Old uImage format
4768-----------------
4769
4770Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4771preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4772details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
4773
4774* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
4775  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
4776  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
4777  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
4778  INTEGRITY).
4779* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
4780  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
4781  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
4782* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
4783* Load Address
4784* Entry Point
4785* Image Name
4786* Image Timestamp
4787
4788The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
4789and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
4790CRC32 checksums.
4791
4792
4793Linux Support:
4794==============
4795
4796Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4797easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4798U-Boot.
4799
4800U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4801special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4802"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4803instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4804serves several purposes:
4805
4806- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4807  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4808  Flash memory footprint)
4809
4810- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4811  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
4812
4813- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4814  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4815  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4816  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4817  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4818  software is easier now.
4819
4820
4821Linux HOWTO:
4822============
4823
4824Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4825---------------------------------------
4826
4827U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4828configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4829(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4830Linux :-).
4831
4832But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
4833
4834Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4835include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
4836Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4837and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
4838as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
4839
4840
4841Configuring the Linux kernel:
4842-----------------------------
4843
4844No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4845device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4846
4847
4848Building a Linux Image:
4849-----------------------
4850
4851With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4852not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4853"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4854U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4855which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4856100% compatible format.
4857
4858Example:
4859
4860	make TQM850L_config
4861	make oldconfig
4862	make dep
4863	make uImage
4864
4865The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4866encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
4867CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4868
4869* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4870
4871* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4872
4873	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4874				 -R .note -R .comment \
4875				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4876
4877* compress the binary image:
4878
4879	gzip -9 linux.bin
4880
4881* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4882
4883	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4884		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4885		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
4886
4887
4888The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4889with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4890combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4891byte header containing information about target architecture,
4892operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4893stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4894
4895"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4896print the header information, or to build new images.
4897
4898In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4899contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4900checksum verification:
4901
4902	tools/mkimage -l image
4903	  -l ==> list image header information
4904
4905The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4906from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4907
4908	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4909		      -n name -d data_file image
4910	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4911	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4912	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4913	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4914	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4915	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4916	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4917	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4918
4919Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4920address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4921kernel version:
4922
4923- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4924- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4925
4926So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4927
4928	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4929	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
4930	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
4931	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
4932	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4933	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4934	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4935	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4936	Load Address: 0x00000000
4937	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4938
4939To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4940
4941	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
4942	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4943	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4944	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4945	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4946	Load Address: 0x00000000
4947	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4948
4949NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4950speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4951needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4952need to be uncompressed:
4953

4967Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4968when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:

4979
4980
4981Installing a Linux Image:
4982-------------------------
4983
4984To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4985you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4986
4987	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4988
4989The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4990image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4991address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4992specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4993command.
4994
4995Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4996TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4997
4998	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
4999
5000	.......... done
5001	Erased 8 sectors
5002

5009	[file transfer complete]
5010	[connected]
5011	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5012
5013
5014You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5015this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5016corruption happened:
5017
5018	=> imi 40100000
5019

5029Boot Linux:
5030-----------
5031
5032The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5033memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5034of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5035parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5036"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5037
5038
5039	=> printenv bootargs
5040	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5041
5042	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5043

5115First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section

5161More About U-Boot Image Types:
5162------------------------------
5163
5164U-Boot supports the following image types:
5165
5166   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5167	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5168	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5169	the Standalone Program.
5170   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5171	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5172	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5173	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5174	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5175   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5176	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5177	being started.
5178   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5179	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5180	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5181	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5182	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5183	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5184
5185	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5186	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5187	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5188	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5189	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5190	a multiple of 4 bytes).
5191
5192   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5193	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5194	flash memory.
5195
5196   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5197	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5198	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5199	as command interpreter.
5200
5201Booting the Linux zImage:
5202-------------------------
5203
5204On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5205using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5206as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5207
5208Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5209kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5210address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5211format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5212
5213
5214Standalone HOWTO:
5215=================
5216
5217One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5218run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5219U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5220
5221Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5222
5223"Hello World" Demo:
5224-------------------
5225
5226'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5227application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5228It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5229like that:
5230
5231	=> loads
5232	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5233	~>examples/hello_world.srec
5234	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5235	[file transfer complete]
5236	[connected]
5237	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5238
5239	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5240	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5241	Hello World
5242	argc = 7
5243	argv[0] = "40004"
5244	argv[1] = "Hello"
5245	argv[2] = "World!"
5246	argv[3] = "This"
5247	argv[4] = "is"
5248	argv[5] = "a"
5249	argv[6] = "test."
5250	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5251	Hit any key to exit ...
5252
5253	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5254
5255Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5256handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5257Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5258The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5259character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5260controlled by the following keys:
5261
5262	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5263	b - enable interrupts and start timer
5264	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5265	q - quit application
5266
5267	=> loads

5302Minicom warning:
5303================
5304
5305Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5306"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5307consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5308Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5309especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5310use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
5311http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5312for help with kermit.
5313
5314
5315Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5316configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5317
5318	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5319	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

5323NetBSD Notes:
5324=============
5325
5326Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5327(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5328
5329Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5330NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5331need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5332Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5333attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5334missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5335
5336	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5337	# mkdir powerpc
5338	# ln -s powerpc machine
5339	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5340	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5341
5342Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5343and U-Boot include files.
5344
5345Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5346stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5347proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5348tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5349meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5350
5351
5352Implementation Internals:
5353=========================
5354
5355The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5356implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5357inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5358hardware.
5359
5360
5361Initial Stack, Global Data:
5362---------------------------
5363
5364The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5365starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5366system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5367This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5368is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5369at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5370options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5371models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5372MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5373locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5374
5375	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5376	U-Boot mailing list:

5383	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5384	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5385	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5386	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5387	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5388	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5389	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5390	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5391
5392	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5393	is another option for the system designer to use as an
5394	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5395	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5396	board designers haven't used it for something that would
5397	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5398	used.
5399
5400	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5401	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5402	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5403	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5404	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5405	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5406	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5407	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5408	you get the config right.

5413It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5414code for the initialization procedures:
5415
5416* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5417  to write it.
5418
5419* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
5420  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5421  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5422
5423* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5424  that.
5425
5426Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5427normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5428turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5429simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5430functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5431functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5432the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5433place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5434reserve for this purpose.
5435
5436When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5437relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
5438GCC's implementation.
5439
5440For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5441	R1:	stack pointer
5442	R2:	reserved for system use
5443	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
5444	R5-R10: parameter passing
5445	R13:	small data area pointer
5446	R30:	GOT pointer
5447	R31:	frame pointer
5448
5449	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5450	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5451	going back and forth between asm and C)
5452
5453    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5454
5455    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5456    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5457    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5458    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5459    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5460    624 text + 127 data).
5461
5462On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
5463	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
5464
5465    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
5466
5467On ARM, the following registers are used:
5468
5469	R0:	function argument word/integer result
5470	R1-R3:	function argument word
5471	R9:	GOT pointer
5472	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
5473	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
5474	R12:	temporary workspace
5475	R13:	stack pointer
5476	R14:	link register
5477	R15:	program counter
5478
5479    ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
5480
5481On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5482	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5483
5484    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5485
5486    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5487    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5488
5489On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5490
5491	R0-R1:	argument/return
5492	R2-R5:	argument
5493	R15:	temporary register for assembler
5494	R16:	trampoline register
5495	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
5496	R29:	global pointer (GP)
5497	R30:	link register (LP)
5498	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
5499	PC:	program counter (PC)
5500
5501    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5502
5503NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5504or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5505
5506Memory Management:
5507------------------
5508
5509U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5510MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5511
5512The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5513controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5514memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5515physical memory banks.
5516
5517U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5518TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5519booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5520to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5521memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5522configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5523Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5524
5525Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5526of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5527
5528So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5529this:
5530
5531	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
5532	      :
5533	0x0000 1FFF
5534	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
5535	      :
5536	      :
5537
5538	      :
5539	      :
5540	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5541	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5542	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
5543	      :
5544	0x00FD FFFF
5545	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5546	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5547	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5548	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
5549
5550
5551System Initialization:
5552----------------------
5553
5554In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5555(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5556configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5557To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5558To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5559initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5560which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5561part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5562the caches and the SIU.
5563
5564Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5565preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5566(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5567on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5568programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5569simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5570banks.
5571
5572When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5573different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5574bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
55750x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5576contiguous memory starting from 0.
5577
5578Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5579and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5580Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5581pages, and the final stack is set up.
5582
5583Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5584until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5585running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5586new address in RAM.

5662
5663Coding Standards:
5664-----------------
5665
5666All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
5667coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
5668"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
5669
5670Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5671MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5672reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5673sources.
5674
5675Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5676Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5677in your code.
5678
5679Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5680- remove any trailing white space
5681- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
5682- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
5683- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
5684- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5685
5686Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5687with a request to reformat the changes.
5688
5689
5690Submitting Patches:
5691-------------------
5692
5693Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5694establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5695may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
5696
5697Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
5698
5699Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5700see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5701
5702When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5703it:
5704
5705* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5706  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5707  patch actually fixes something.
5708
5709* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5710  implementation.
5711
5712* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5713
5714* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
5715
5716* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
5717  board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
5718
5719* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5720  document these in the README file.
5721
5722* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5723  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
5724  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
5725  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5726  with some other mail clients.
5727
5728  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5729  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5730  GNU diff.
5731
5732  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5733  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5734  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5735  affected files).
5736
5737  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5738  and compressed attachments must not be used.
5739
5740* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5741  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5742
5743* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5744  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5745
5746
5747Notes:
5748
5749* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5750  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5751  for any of the boards.
5752
5753* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5754  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5755  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
5756
5757* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5758  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5759  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5760  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5761  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5762  modification.
5763
5764* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5765  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5766  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5767  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
