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: 59 60 make CHANGELOG 61 62 63Where to get help: 64================== 65 66In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 67U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 68<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

Regular releases are identified by 137names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 138Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 139releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 140 141Examples: 142 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 143 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 144 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 145 146 147Directory Hierarchy: 148==================== 149 150/arch Architecture specific files 151 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 152 /cpu CPU specific files 153 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 154 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 155 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 156 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 157 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 158 /arm925t Files specific to ARM 925 CPUs 159 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 160 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 161 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 162 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 163 /s3c44b0 Files specific to Samsung S3C44B0 CPUs 164 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 165 /lib Architecture specific library files 166 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 167 /cpu CPU specific files 168 /lib Architecture specific library files 169 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 170 /cpu CPU specific files 171 /lib Architecture specific library files 172 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 173 /cpu CPU specific files 174 /lib Architecture specific library files 175 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 176 /cpu CPU specific files 177 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 178 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 179 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 180 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 181 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 182 /lib Architecture specific library files 183 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 184 /cpu CPU specific files 185 /lib Architecture specific library files 186 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 187 /cpu CPU specific files 188 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 189 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 190 /lib Architecture specific library files 191 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 192 /cpu CPU specific files 193 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 194 /lib Architecture specific library files 195 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 196 /cpu CPU specific files 197 /lib Architecture specific library files 198 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 199 /cpu CPU specific files 200 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 201 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 202 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 203 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 204 /mpc8220 Files specific to Freescale MPC8220 CPUs 205 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 206 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 207 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 208 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 209 /lib Architecture specific library files 210 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 211 /cpu CPU specific files 212 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 213 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 214 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 215 /lib Architecture specific library files 216 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 217 /cpu CPU specific files 218 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 219 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 220 /lib Architecture specific library files 221/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 222/board Board dependent files 223/common Misc architecture independent functions 224/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 225/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 226/drivers Commonly used device drivers 227/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 228/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 229/include Header Files 230/lib Files generic to all architectures 231 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 232 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 233 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 234/net Networking code 235/post Power On Self Test 236/rtc Real Time Clock drivers 237/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 238 239Software Configuration: 240======================= 241 242Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 243rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 244 245There are two classes of configuration variables: 246 247* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 248 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 249 "CONFIG_". 250 251* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 252 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 253 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 254 "CONFIG_SYS_". 255 256Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 257identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 258do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 259links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 260as an example here. 261 262 263Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 264--------------------------------------------------- 265 266For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 267configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 268 269Example: For a TQM823L module type: 270 271 cd u-boot 272 make TQM823L_config 273 274For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 275e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 276directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 277 278 279Configuration Options: 280---------------------- 281 282Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 283such information is kept in a configuration file 284"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 285 286Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 287"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 288 289 290Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 291kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 292build a config tool - later. 293 294 295The following options need to be configured: 296 297- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 298 299- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 300 301- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 302 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 303 304- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 305 Define exactly one of 306 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 307--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 308 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 309 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 310 311- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 312 Define exactly one of 313 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 314 315- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 316 Define one or more of 317 CONFIG_CMA302 318 319- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 320 Define one or more of 321 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 322 the LCD display every second with 323 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 324 325- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 326 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 327 Possible values are: 328 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 329 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 330 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 331 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 332 333- Marvell Family Member 334 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 335 multiple fs option at one time 336 for marvell soc family 337 338- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 339 Define exactly one of 340 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 341 342- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 343 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 344 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 345 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 346 reference PIT/RTC clock 347 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 348 or XTAL/EXTAL) 349 350- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 351 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 352 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 353 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 354 See doc/README.MPC866 355 356 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 357 358 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 359 of relying on the correctness of the configured 360 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 361 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 362 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 363 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 364 365 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 366 367 Define this option if you want to enable the 368 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 369 370- 85xx CPU Options: 371 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 372 373 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 374 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 375 compliance, among other possible reasons. 376 377 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 378 379 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 380 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 381 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 382 383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 384 385 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 386 tree nodes for the given platform. 387 388 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 389 390 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 391 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 392 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 393 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 394 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 395 purpose. 396 397 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 398 399 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 400 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 401 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 402 403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 404 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 405 406 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 407 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 408 409 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 410 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 411 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 412 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 413 414 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 415 this erratum. 416 417 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 418 419 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 420 according to the A004510 workaround. 421 422- Generic CPU options: 423 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 424 425 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 426 values is arch specific. 427 428- Intel Monahans options: 429 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 430 431 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 432 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 433 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 434 435 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 436 437 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 438 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 439 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 440 by this value. 441 442- MIPS CPU options: 443 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 444 445 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 446 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 447 relocation. 448 449 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 450 451 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 452 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 453 Possible values are: 454 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 455 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 456 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 457 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 458 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 459 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 460 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 461 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 462 463 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 464 465 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 466 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 467 468 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 469 470 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 471 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 472 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 473 474- ARM options: 475 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 476 477 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 478 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 479 480 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 481 482 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 483 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 484 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 485 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 486 GCC. 487 488 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 489 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 490 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 491 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 492 493 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 494 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 495 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 496 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 497 set these options unless they apply! 498 499- Linux Kernel Interface: 500 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 501 502 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 503 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 504 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 505 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 506 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 507 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 508 Linux kernel. 509 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 510 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 511 default environment. 512 513 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 514 515 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 516 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 517 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 518 519 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 520 521 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 522 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 523 concepts). 524 525 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 526 * New libfdt-based support 527 * Adds the "fdt" command 528 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 529 530 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 531 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 532 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 533 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 534 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 535 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 536 537 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 538 addresses 539 540 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 541 542 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 543 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 544 545 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 546 547 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 548 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 549 550 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 551 552 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 553 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 554 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 555 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 556 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 557 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 558 559 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 560 561 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 562 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 563 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 564 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 565 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 566 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 567 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 568 569- vxWorks boot parameters: 570 571 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 572 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 573 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 574 575 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 576 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 577 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 578 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 579 580 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 581 582 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 583 584 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 585 the defaults discussed just above. 586 587- Cache Configuration: 588 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 589 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 590 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 591 592- Cache Configuration for ARM: 593 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 594 controller 595 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 596 controller register space 597 598- Serial Ports: 599 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 600 601 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 602 603 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 604 605 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 606 607 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 608 609 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 610 the clock speed of the UARTs. 611 612 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 613 614 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 615 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 616 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 617 618 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 619 620 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 621 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 622 this variable to initialize the extra register. 623 624 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 625 626 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 627 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 628 variable to flush the UART at init time. 629 630 631- Console Interface: 632 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 633 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 634 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 635 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 636 637 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 638 port routines must be defined elsewhere 639 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 640 641 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 642 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 643 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 644 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 645 (default big endian) 646 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 647 rectangle fill 648 (cf. smiLynxEM) 649 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 650 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 651 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 652 (cols=pitch) 653 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 654 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 655 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 656 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 657 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 658 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 659 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 660 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 661 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 662 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 663 (i.e. i8042_getc) 664 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 665 (requires blink timer 666 cf. i8042.c) 667 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 668 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 669 upper right corner 670 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 671 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 672 upper left corner 673 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 674 linux_logo.h for logo. 675 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 676 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 677 additional board info beside 678 the logo 679 680 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 681 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 682 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 683 684 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 685 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 686 environment 'console=serial'. 687 688 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 689 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 690 the "silent" environment variable. See 691 doc/README.silent for more information. 692 693- Console Baudrate: 694 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 695 Select one of the baudrates listed in 696 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 697 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 698 699- Console Rx buffer length 700 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 701 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 702 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 703 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 704 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 705 the SMC. 706 707- Pre-Console Buffer: 708 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 709 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 710 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 711 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 712 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 713 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 714 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 715 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 716 earlier bytes are discarded. 717 718 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 719 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 720 721- Safe printf() functions 722 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 723 the printf() functions. These are defined in 724 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 725 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 726 If this option is not given then these functions will 727 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 728 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 729 730- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 731 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 732 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 733 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 734 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 735 736 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 737 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 738 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 739 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 740 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 741 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 742 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 743 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 744 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 745 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 746 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 747 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 748 749- Autoboot Command: 750 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 751 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 752 define a command string that is automatically executed 753 when no character is read on the console interface 754 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 755 756 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 757 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 758 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 759 environment value "bootargs". 760 761 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 762 The value of these goes into the environment as 763 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 764 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 765 RAM and NFS. 766 767- Pre-Boot Commands: 768 CONFIG_PREBOOT 769 770 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 771 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 772 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 773 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 774 entering interactive mode. 775 776 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 777 automatically generated or modified. For an example 778 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 779 modified when the user holds down a certain 780 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 781 booting the systems 782 783- Serial Download Echo Mode: 784 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 785 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 786 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 787 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 788 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 789 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 790 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 791 792- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 793 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 794 Select one of the baudrates listed in 795 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 796 797- Monitor Functions: 798 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 799 from the build by using the #include files 800 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 801 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 802 and augmenting with additional #define's 803 for wanted commands. 804 805 The default command configuration

network 906 support you can write: 907 908 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 909 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 910 911 Other Commands: 912 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 913 914 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 915 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 916 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 917 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 918 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 919 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 920 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 921 initial stack and some data. 922 923 924 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 925 926- Device tree: 927 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 928 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 929 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 930 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 931 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 932 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 933 934 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 935 be done using one of the two options below: 936 937 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 938 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 939 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 940 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 941 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 942 the global data structure as gd->blob. 943 944 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 945 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 946 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 947 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 948 949 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 950 951 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 952 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 953 still use the individual files if you need something more 954 exotic. 955 956- Watchdog: 957 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 958 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 959 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 960 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 961 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 962 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 963 available, then no further board specific code should 964 be needed to use it. 965 966 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 967 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 968 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 969 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 970 971- U-Boot Version: 972 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 973 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 974 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 975 version as printed by the "version" command. 976 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 977 next reset. 978 979- Real-Time Clock: 980 981 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 982 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 983 following options: 984 985 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 986 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 987 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 988 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 989 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 990 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 991 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 992 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 993 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 994 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 995 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 996 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 997 RV3029 RTC. 998 999 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1000 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1001 1002- GPIO Support: 1003 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1004 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 1005 1006 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1007 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1008 pins supported by a particular chip. 1009 1010 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1011 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1012 1013- Timestamp Support: 1014 1015 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1016 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1017 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1018 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1019 1020- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1021 Zero or more of the following: 1022 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1023 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1024 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1025 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1026 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1027 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1028 disk/part_efi.c 1029 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1030 1031 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1032 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1033 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1034 1035- IDE Reset method: 1036 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1037 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1038 1039 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1040 be performed by calling the function 1041 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1042 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1043 1044- ATAPI Support: 1045 CONFIG_ATAPI 1046 1047 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1048 1049- LBA48 Support 1050 CONFIG_LBA48 1051 1052 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1053 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1054 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1055 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1056 1057 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1058 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1059 Default is 32bit. 1060 1061- SCSI Support: 1062 At the moment only there is only support for the 1063 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1064 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1065 1066 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1067 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1068 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1069 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1070 devices. 1071 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1072 1073 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1074 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1075 1076- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1077 CONFIG_E1000 1078 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1079 1080 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1081 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1082 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1083 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1084 1085 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1086 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1087 example with the "sspi" command. 1088 1089 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1090 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1091 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1092 1093 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1094 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1095 1096 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1097 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1098 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1099 write routine for first time initialisation. 1100 1101 CONFIG_TULIP 1102 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1103 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1104 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1105 1106 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1107 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1108 1109 CONFIG_NS8382X 1110 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1111 1112- NETWORK Support (other): 1113 1114 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1115 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1116 1117 CONFIG_RMII 1118 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1119 1120 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1121 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1122 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1123 1124 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1125 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1126 1127 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1128 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1129 1130 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1131 Define this to hold the physical address 1132 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1133 1134 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1135 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1136 1137 CONFIG_SMC91111 1138 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1139 1140 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1141 Define this to hold the physical address 1142 of the device (I/O space) 1143 1144 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1145 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1146 1147 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1148 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1149 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1150 1151 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1152 Support for davinci emac 1153 1154 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1155 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1156 1157 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1158 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1159 1160 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1161 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1162 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1163 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1164 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1165 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1166 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1167 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1168 1169 CONFIG_SMC911X 1170 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1171 1172 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1173 Define this to hold the physical address 1174 of the device (I/O space) 1175 1176 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1177 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1178 1179 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1180 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1181 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1182 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1183 1184 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1185 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1186 1187 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1188 Define the number of ports to be used 1189 1190 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1191 Define the ETH PHY's address 1192 1193 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1194 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1195 1196- TPM Support: 1197 CONFIG_GENERIC_LPC_TPM 1198 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1199 per system is supported at this time. 1200 1201 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1202 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1203 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1204 0xfed40000. 1205 1206- USB Support: 1207 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1208 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1209 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1210 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1211 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1212 storage devices. 1213 Note: 1214 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1215 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1216 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1217 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1218 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1219 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1220 for USB on PSC3 1221 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1222 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1223 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1224 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1225 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1226 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1227 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1228 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1229 1230 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1231 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1232 1233- USB Device: 1234 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1235 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1236 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1237 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1238 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1239 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1240 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1241 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1242 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1243 a Linux host by 1244 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1245 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1246 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1247 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1248 1249 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1250 Define this to build a UDC device 1251 1252 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1253 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1254 talk to the UDC device 1255 1256 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1257 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1258 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1259 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1260 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1261 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1262 speed. 1263 1264 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1265 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1266 be set to usbtty. 1267 1268 mpc8xx: 1269 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1270 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1271 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1272 1273 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1274 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1275 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1276 1277 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1278 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1279 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1280 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1281 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1282 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1283 1284 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1285 Define this string as the name of your company for 1286 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1287 1288 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1289 Define this string as the name of your product 1290 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1291 1292 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1293 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1294 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1295 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1296 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1297 1298 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1299 Define this as the unique Product ID 1300 for your device 1301 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1302 1303- ULPI Layer Support: 1304 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1305 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1306 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1307 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1308 viewport is supported. 1309 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1310 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1311 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1312 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1313 the appropriate value in Hz. 1314 1315- MMC Support: 1316 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1317 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1318 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1319 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1320 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1321 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1322 1323 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1324 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1325 1326 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1327 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1328 1329 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1330 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1331 1332- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1333 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1334 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1335 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1336 1337 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1338 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1339 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1340 1341 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1342 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1343 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1344 1345 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1346 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1347 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1348 have not defined a custom partition 1349 1350- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1351 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1352 1353 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1354 file in FAT formatted partition. 1355 1356 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1357 user to write files to FAT. 1358 1359CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1360 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1361 1362 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1363 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1364 and cbfsload. 1365 1366- Keyboard Support: 1367 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1368 1369 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1370 support 1371 1372 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1373 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1374 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1375 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1376 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1377 1378- Video support: 1379 CONFIG_VIDEO 1380 1381 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1382 video). 1383 1384 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1385 1386 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1387 1388 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1389 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1390 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1391 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1392 assumed. 1393 1394 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1395 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1396 are possible: 1397 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1398 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1399 1400 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1401 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1402 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1403 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1404 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1405 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1406 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1407 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1408 1409 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1410 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1411 1412 1413 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1414 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1415 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1416 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1417 1418 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1419 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1420 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1421 support, and should also define these other macros: 1422 1423 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1424 CONFIG_VIDEO 1425 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1426 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1427 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1428 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1429 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1430 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1431 1432 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1433 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1434 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1435 description of this variable. 1436 1437 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1438 1439 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1440 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1441 driver. 1442 1443 1444- Keyboard Support: 1445 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1446 1447 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1448 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1449 defined in your board-specific files. 1450 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1451 1452- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1453 1454 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1455 display); also select one of the supported displays 1456 by defining one of these: 1457 1458 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1459 1460 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1461 1462 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1463 1464 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1465 1466 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1467 1468 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1469 Active, color, single scan. 1470 1471 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1472 1473 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1474 Active, color, single scan. 1475 1476 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1477 1478 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1479 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1480 1481 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1482 1483 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1484 Active, color, single scan. 1485 1486 CONFIG_HLD1045 1487 1488 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1489 Active, color, single scan. 1490 1491 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1492 1493 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1494 or 1495 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1496 or 1497 Hitachi SP14Q002 1498 1499 320x240. Black & white. 1500 1501 Normally display is black on white background; define 1502 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1503 1504 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1505 1506 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1507 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1508 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1509 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1510 a per-section basis. 1511 1512 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1513 1514 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1515 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1516 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1517 is slow. 1518 1519 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1520 1521 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1522 1523 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1524 1525 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1526 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1527 1528- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1529 1530 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1531 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1532 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1533 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1534 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1535 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1536 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1537 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1538 1539 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1540 1541 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1542 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1543 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses). 1544 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1545 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1546 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1547 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1548 there is no need to set this option. 1549 1550 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1551 1552 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1553 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1554 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1555 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1556 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1557 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1558 1559 Example: 1560 setenv splashpos m,m 1561 => image at center of screen 1562 1563 setenv splashpos 30,20 1564 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1565 1566 setenv splashpos -10,m 1567 => vertically centered image 1568 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1569 1570 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_PREPARE 1571 1572 If this option is set then the board_splash_screen_prepare() 1573 function, which must be defined in your code, is called as part 1574 of the splash screen display sequence. It gives the board an 1575 opportunity to prepare the splash image data before it is 1576 processed and sent to the frame buffer by U-Boot. 1577 1578- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1579 1580 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1581 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1582 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1583 1584- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1585 1586 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1587 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1588 bmp command. 1589 1590- Do compresssing for memory range: 1591 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1592 1593 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1594 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1595 1596- Compression support: 1597 CONFIG_BZIP2 1598 1599 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1600 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1601 compressed images are supported. 1602 1603 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1604 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1605 be at least 4MB. 1606 1607 CONFIG_LZMA 1608 1609 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1610 images is included. 1611 1612 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1613 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1614 formula: 1615 1616 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1617 1618 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1619 and Literal pos bits. 1620 1621 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1622 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1623 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1624 a very small buffer. 1625 1626 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1627 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1628 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1629 1630- MII/PHY support: 1631 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1632 1633 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1634 1635 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1636 1637 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1638 1639 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1640 1641 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1642 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1643 1644 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1645 1646 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1647 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1648 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1649 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1650 1651 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1652 1653 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1654 command issued before MII status register can be read 1655 1656- Ethernet address: 1657 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1658 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1659 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1660 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1661 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1662 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1663 1664 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1665 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1666 is not determined automatically. 1667 1668- IP address: 1669 CONFIG_IPADDR 1670 1671 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1672 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1673 determined through e.g. bootp. 1674 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1675 1676- Server IP address: 1677 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1678 1679 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1680 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1681 (Environment variable "serverip") 1682 1683 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1684 1685 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1686 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1687 1688- Gateway IP address: 1689 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1690 1691 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1692 default router where packets to other networks are 1693 sent to. 1694 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1695 1696- Subnet mask: 1697 CONFIG_NETMASK 1698 1699 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1700 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1701 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1702 forwarded through a router. 1703 (Environment variable "netmask") 1704 1705- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1706 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1707 1708 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1709 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1710 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1711 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1712 multicast group. 1713 1714- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1715 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1716 1717 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1718 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1719 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1720 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1721 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1722 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1723 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1724 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1725 following delays are inserted then: 1726 1727 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1728 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1729 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1730 4th and following 1731 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1732 1733- DHCP Advanced Options: 1734 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1735 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1736 1737 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1738 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1739 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1740 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1741 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1742 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1743 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1744 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1745 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1746 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1747 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1748 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1749 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1750 1751 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1752 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1753 1754 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1755 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1756 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1757 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1758 is not available. 1759 1760 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1761 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1762 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1763 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1764 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1765 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1766 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1767 is defined. 1768 1769 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1770 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1771 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1772 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1773 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1774 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1775 1776 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1777 1778 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1779 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1780 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1781 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1782 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1783 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1784 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1785 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1786 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1787 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1788 this delay. 1789 1790 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1791 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1792 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1793 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1794 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1795 1796 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1797 1798 - CDP Options: 1799 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1800 1801 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1802 1803 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1804 1805 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1806 of the device. 1807 1808 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1809 1810 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1811 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1812 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1813 1814 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1815 1816 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1817 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1818 1819 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1820 1821 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1822 1823 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1824 1825 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1826 1827 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1828 1829 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1830 1831 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1832 1833 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1834 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1835 1836 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1837 1838 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1839 1840- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1841 1842 Several configurations allow to display the current 1843 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1844 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1845 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1846 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1847 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1848 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1849 feature in U-Boot. 1850 1851- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1852 1853 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1854 on those systems that support this (optional) 1855 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1856 1857- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 1858 1859 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of 1860 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will 1861 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. 1862 1863 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 1864 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 1865 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 1866 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 1867 command line interface. 1868 1869 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 1870 1871 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka 1872 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware 1873 support for I2C. 1874 1875 There are several other quantities that must also be 1876 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. 1877 1878 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 1879 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 1880 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 1881 the CPU's i2c node address). 1882 1883 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 1884 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 1885 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 1886 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 1887 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 1888 1889 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 1890 1891 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1892 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1893 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 1894 commands until the slave device responds. 1895 1896 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 1897 1898 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) 1899 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1900 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1901 1902 I2C_INIT 1903 1904 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1905 controller or configure ports. 1906 1907 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1908 1909 I2C_PORT 1910 1911 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 1912 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 1913 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 1914 1915 I2C_ACTIVE 1916 1917 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 1918 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 1919 define can be null. 1920 1921 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 1922 1923 I2C_TRISTATE 1924 1925 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 1926 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 1927 define can be null. 1928 1929 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 1930 1931 I2C_READ 1932 1933 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high, 1934 FALSE if it is low. 1935 1936 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 1937 1938 I2C_SDA(bit) 1939 1940 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it 1941 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1942 1943 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 1944 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 1945 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 1946 1947 I2C_SCL(bit) 1948 1949 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 1950 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1951 1952 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 1953 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 1954 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 1955 1956 I2C_DELAY 1957 1958 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 1959 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 1960 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 1961 like: 1962 1963 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 1964 1965 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 1966 1967 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 1968 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 1969 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 1970 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 1971 1972 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 1973 the generic GPIO functions. 1974 1975 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 1976 1977 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1978 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1979 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 1980 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 1981 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 1982 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 1983 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 1984 is run early in the boot sequence. 1985 1986 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 1987 1988 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 1989 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 1990 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 1991 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 1992 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 1993 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 1994 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 1995 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 1996 1997 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 1998 1999 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2000 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2001 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2002 2003 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2004 2005 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2006 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2007 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2008 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2009 2010 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2011 2012 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2013 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2014 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2015 a 1D array of device addresses 2016 2017 e.g. 2018 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2019 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2020 2021 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2022 2023 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2024 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2025 2026 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2027 2028 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2029 2030 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2031 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2032 2033 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2034 2035 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2036 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2037 2038 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2039 2040 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2041 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2042 2043 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2044 2045 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2046 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2047 specified DTT device. 2048 2049 CONFIG_FSL_I2C 2050 2051 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in 2052 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. 2053 2054 CONFIG_I2C_MUX 2055 2056 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n 2057 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C 2058 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a 2059 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the 2060 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for 2061 the muxes to activate this new "bus". 2062 2063 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this 2064 feature! 2065 2066 Example: 2067 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes 2068 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 2069 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 2070 2071 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 2072 2073 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list 2074 of I2C Busses with muxes: 2075 2076 => i2c bus 2077 Busses reached over muxes: 2078 Bus ID: 2 2079 reached over Mux(es): 2080 pca9544a@70 ch: 4 2081 Bus ID: 3 2082 reached over Mux(es): 2083 pca9544a@70 ch: 6 2084 pca9544a@71 ch: 4 2085 => 2086 2087 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" 2088 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable 2089 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable 2090 the channel 4. 2091 2092 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as 2093 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind 2094 the 2 muxes. 2095 2096 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging 2097 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C 2098 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult 2099 to add this option to other architectures. 2100 2101 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2102 2103 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2104 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2105 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2106 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2107 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2108 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2109 the other. 2110 2111- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2112 2113 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2114 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2115 D/As on the SACSng board) 2116 2117 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2118 2119 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2120 only SH7757 is supported. 2121 2122 CONFIG_SPI_X 2123 2124 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2125 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2126 2127 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2128 2129 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2130 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2131 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2132 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2133 defined, the board configuration must define several 2134 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2135 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2136 2137 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2138 2139 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2140 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2141 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2142 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2143 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2144 2145 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2146 2147 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2148 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2149 2150- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2151 2152 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2153 2154 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2155 2156 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2157 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2158 2159 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2160 2161 Enables support for FPGA family. 2162 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2163 2164 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2165 2166 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2167 2168 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2169 2170 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2171 2172 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2173 2174 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2175 status by the configuration function. This option 2176 will require a board or device specific function to 2177 be written. 2178 2179 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2180 2181 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2182 configuration driver. 2183 2184 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2185 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2186 2187 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2188 2189 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2190 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2191 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2192 indicated a CRC error). 2193 2194 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2195 2196 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2197 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2198 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2199 ms. 2200 2201 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2202 2203 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2204 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2205 2206 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2207 2208 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2209 200 ms. 2210 2211- Configuration Management: 2212 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2213 2214 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2215 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2216 2217- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2218 2219 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2220 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2221 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2222 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2223 protects these variables from casual modification by 2224 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2225 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2226 change this behaviour: 2227 2228 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2229 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2230 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2231 these parameters. 2232 2233 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2234 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2235 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2236 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2237 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2238 read-only.] 2239 2240 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2241 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2242 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2243 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2244 2245- Protected RAM: 2246 CONFIG_PRAM 2247 2248 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2249 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2250 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2251 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2252 this default value by defining an environment 2253 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2254 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2255 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2256 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2257 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2258 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2259 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2260 2261 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2262 saveenv 2263 2264 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2265 either, which results in a memory region that will 2266 not be affected by reboots. 2267 2268 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2269 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2270 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2271 following board configurations are known to be 2272 "pRAM-clean": 2273 2274 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2275 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2276 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2277 2278- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2279 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2280 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2281 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2282 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2283 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2284 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2285 2286- Error Recovery: 2287 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2288 2289 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2290 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2291 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2292 system where you want the system to reboot 2293 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2294 useful during development since you can try to debug 2295 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2296 2297 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2298 2299 This variable defines the number of retries for 2300 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2301 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2302 default value of 5 is used. 2303 2304 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2305 2306 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2307 2308 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2309 2310 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2311 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2312 try longer timeout such as 2313 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2314 2315- Command Interpreter: 2316 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2317 2318 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2319 2320 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2321 for the "hush" shell. 2322 2323 2324 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2325 2326 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2327 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2328 powerful command line syntax like 2329 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2330 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2331 2332 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2333 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2334 2335 2336 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2337 2338 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2339 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2340 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2341 2342 Note: 2343 2344 In the current implementation, the local variables 2345 space and global environment variables space are 2346 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2347 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2348 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2349 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2350 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2351 2352 Global environment variables are those you use 2353 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2354 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2355 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2356 2357 To store commands and special characters in a 2358 variable, please use double quotation marks 2359 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2360 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2361 symbols. 2362 2363- Commandline Editing and History: 2364 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2365 2366 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2367 commandline input operations 2368 2369- Default Environment: 2370 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2371 2372 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2373 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2374 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2375 2376 For example, place something like this in your 2377 board's config file: 2378 2379 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2380 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2381 "myvar2=value2\0" 2382 2383 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2384 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2385 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2386 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2387 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2388 You better know what you are doing here. 2389 2390 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2391 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2392 the environment like the "source" command or the 2393 boot command first. 2394 2395 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2396 2397 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2398 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2399 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2400 2401 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2402 2403 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2404 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2405 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2406 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2407 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2408 2409 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2410 2411 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2412 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2413 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2414 2415 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2416 2417 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2418 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2419 that so that the environment is not available until 2420 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2421 this is instead controlled by the value of 2422 /config/load-environment. 2423 2424- DataFlash Support: 2425 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2426 2427 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2428 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2429 commands cp, md... 2430 2431- Serial Flash support 2432 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2433 2434 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2435 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2436 2437 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2438 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2439 commands. 2440 2441 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2442 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2443 flash is present on the system. 2444 2445 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2446 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2447 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2448 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2449 2450 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2451 2452 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2453 test ('sf test'). 2454 2455- SystemACE Support: 2456 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2457 2458 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2459 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2460 of the chip must also be defined in the 2461 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2462 2463 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2464 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2465 2466 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2467 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2468 2469- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2470 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2471 2472 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2473 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2474 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2475 number generator is used. 2476 2477 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2478 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2479 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2480 2481 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2482 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2483 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2484 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2485 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2486 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2487 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2488 2489- Hashing support: 2490 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 2491 2492 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 2493 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 2494 2495 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 2496 2497 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 2498 size a little. 2499 2500 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 2501 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 2502 2503 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 2504 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 2505 2506- Show boot progress: 2507 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2508 2509 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2510 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2511 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2512 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2513 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2514 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2515 2516- Detailed boot stage timing 2517 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 2518 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 2519 of the boot process. 2520 2521 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 2522 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 2523 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 2524 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 2525 the limit, recording will stop. 2526 2527 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 2528 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 2529 2530 Timer summary in microseconds: 2531 Mark Elapsed Stage 2532 0 0 reset 2533 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 2534 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 2535 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 2536 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 2537 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 2538 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 2539 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 2540 2541 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 2542 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 2543 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 2544 2545 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 2546 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 2547 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 2548 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 2549 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 2550 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 2551 For example: 2552 2553 bootstage { 2554 154 { 2555 name = "board_init_f"; 2556 mark = <3575678>; 2557 }; 2558 170 { 2559 name = "lcd"; 2560 accum = <33482>; 2561 }; 2562 }; 2563 2564 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 2565 2566Legacy uImage format: 2567 2568 Arg Where When 2569 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 2570 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

CONFIG_FIT 2721 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 2722 2723 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 2724 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 2725 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 2726 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 2727 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 2728 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 2729 2730- Standalone program support: 2731 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2732 2733 This option defines a board specific value for the 2734 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2735 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2736 settings. 2737 2738- Frame Buffer Address: 2739 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2740 2741 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2742 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 2743 when using a graphics controller has separate video 2744 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 2745 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 2746 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 2747 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 2748 configured panel size. 2749 2750 Please see board_init_f function. 2751 2752- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2753 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2754 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2755 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2756 2757 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2758 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2759 2760- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2761 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2762 2763 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2764 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2765 2766 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2767 2768 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2769 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 2770 2771- SPL framework 2772 CONFIG_SPL 2773 Enable building of SPL globally. 2774 2775 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 2776 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 2777 2778 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 2779 Maximum binary size (text, data and rodata) of the SPL binary. 2780 2781 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 2782 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 2783 2784 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 2785 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 2786 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 2787 2788 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 2789 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 2790 2791 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2792 Maximum binary size of the BSS section of the SPL binary. 2793 2794 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 2795 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 2796 2797 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 2798 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 2799 relocation.

Requires 2855 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 2856 2857 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 2858 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 2859 2860 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 2861 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 2862 2863 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 2864 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 2865 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 2866 2867 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 2868 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 2869 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 2870 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 2871 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 2872 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 2873 to read U-Boot 2874 2875 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 2876 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 2877 2878 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 2879 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 2880 2881 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 2882 Size of image to load 2883 2884 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 2885 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 2886 2887 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 2888 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 2889 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 2890 2891 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 2892 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 2893 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 2894 2895 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 2896 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 2897 2898 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 2899 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 2900 2901 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 2902 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 2903 2904 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 2905 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 2906 2907 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 2908 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 2909 2910 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 2911 Linker address to which the SPL should be padded before 2912 appending the SPL payload. 2913 2914 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 2915 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 2916 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 2917 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 2918 2919Modem Support: 2920-------------- 2921 2922[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 2923 2924- Modem support enable: 2925 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 2926 2927- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 2928 CONFIG_HWFLOW 2929 2930- Modem debug support: 2931 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 2932 2933 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 2934 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 2935 2936- Interrupt support (PPC): 2937 2938 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 2939 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 2940 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 2941 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 2942 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 2943 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 2944 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 2945 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 2946 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 2947 general timer_interrupt(). 2948 2949- General: 2950 2951 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 2952 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 2953 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 2954 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 2955 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 2956 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 2957 initialization. 2958 2959 If there are no modem init strings in the 2960 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 2961 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 2962 suppressed, though. 2963 2964 See also: doc/README.Modem 2965 2966Board initialization settings: 2967------------------------------ 2968 2969During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 2970to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 2971before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 2972following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 2973architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 2974typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 2975 2976- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 2977- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 2978- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 2979- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 2980 2981Configuration Settings: 2982----------------------- 2983 2984- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 2985 undefine this when you're short of memory. 2986 2987- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 2988 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 2989 2990- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 2991 prompt for user input. 2992 2993- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 2994 2995- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 2996 2997- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 2998 2999- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3000 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3001 booted 3002 3003- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3004 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3005 3006- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3007 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3008 3009- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3010 If the board specific function 3011 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3012 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3013 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3014 3015- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3016 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3017 3018- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3019 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3020 3021- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3022 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3023 simple memory test. 3024 3025- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3026 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3027 3028- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3029 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3030 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3031 3032- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3033 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3034 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3035 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3036 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3037 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3038 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3039 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3040 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3041 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3042 3043 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3044 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3045 be touched. 3046 3047 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3048 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3049 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3050 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3051 problems. 3052 3053- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3054 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3055 3056- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3057 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3058 3059- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3060 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3061 Cogent motherboard) 3062 3063- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3064 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3065 3066- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3067 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3068 make config files to be same as the text base address 3069 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3070 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3071 3072- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3073 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3074 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3075 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3076 flash sector. 3077 3078- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3079 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3080 3081- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3082 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3083 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3084 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3085 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3086 3087- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3088 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3089 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3090 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3091 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3092 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3093 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3094 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3095 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3096 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3097 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3098 3099- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3100 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3101 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3102 is enabled. 3103 3104- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3105 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3106 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3107 3108- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3109 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3110 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3111 3112- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3113 Max number of Flash memory banks 3114 3115- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3116 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3117 3118- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3119 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3120 3121- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3122 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3123 3124- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3125 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3126 3127- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3128 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3129 3130- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3131 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3132 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3133 3134- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3135 3136 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3137 without this option such a download has to be 3138 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3139 copy from RAM to flash. 3140 3141 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3142 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3143 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3144 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3145 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3146 3147- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3148 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3149 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3150 3151- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3152 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3153 in the drivers directory 3154 3155- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3156 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3157 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3158 to the MTD layer. 3159 3160- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3161 Use buffered writes to flash. 3162 3163- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3164 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3165 write commands. 3166 3167- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3168 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3169 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3170 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3171 optionally available. 3172 3173- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3174 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3175 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3176 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3177 3178- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3179 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3180 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3181 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3182 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3183 on high Ethernet traffic. 3184 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3185 3186- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3187 3188 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3189 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3190 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3191 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3192 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3193 3194- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3195- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3196 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when 3197 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3198 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3199 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3200 3201 The format of the list is: 3202 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3203 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3204 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3205 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3206 list = entry[,list] 3207 3208 The type attributes are: 3209 s - String (default) 3210 d - Decimal 3211 x - Hexadecimal 3212 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3213 i - IP address 3214 m - MAC address 3215 3216 The access attributes are: 3217 a - Any (default) 3218 r - Read-only 3219 o - Write-once 3220 c - Change-default 3221 3222 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3223 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3224 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3225 3226 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3227 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3228 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3229 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 3230 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 3231 ".flags" variable. 3232 3233- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 3234 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 3235 access flags. 3236 3237- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 3238 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 3239 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 3240 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 3241 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 3242 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 3243 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 3244 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 3245 your board please report the problem and send patches! 3246 3247- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS 3248 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols 3249 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an 3250 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than 3251 directly. You should not need to touch this setting. 3252 3253 3254The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 3255of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 3256following configurations: 3257 3258- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 3259 3260 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 3261 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 3262 3263- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 3264 3265 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 3266 3267 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 3268 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 3269 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 3270 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 3271 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 3272 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 3273 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 3274 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 3275 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 3276 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 3277 between U-Boot and the environment. 3278 3279 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3280 3281 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 3282 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 3283 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 3284 for this sector is given here. 3285 3286 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 3287 3288 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3289 3290 This is just another way to specify the start address of 3291 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 3292 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 3293 3294 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 3295 3296 Size of the sector containing the environment. 3297 3298 3299 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 3300 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 3301 the environment. 3302 3303 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3304 3305 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 3306 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 3307 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 3308 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 3309 3310 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 3311 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 3312 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 3313 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 3314 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 3315 updating the environment in flash makes it always 3316 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 3317 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 3318 RAM, your target system will be dead. 3319 3320 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 3321 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 3322 3323 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 3324 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 3325 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 3326 a "saveenv" operation. 3327 3328BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 3329source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 3330accordingly! 3331 3332 3333- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 3334 3335 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 3336 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 3337 environment. 3338 3339 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3340 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3341 3342 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 3343 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 3344 can just be read and written to, without any special 3345 provision. 3346 3347BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3348in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3349console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3350U-Boot will hang. 3351 3352Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3353environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3354keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3355to save the current settings. 3356 3357 3358- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 3359 3360 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 3361 device and a driver for it. 3362 3363 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3364 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3365 3366 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 3367 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 3368 3369 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 3370 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 3371 The default address is zero. 3372 3373 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 3374 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 3375 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 3376 would require six bits. 3377 3378 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 3379 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 3380 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 3381 3382 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 3383 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 3384 that this is NOT the chip address length! 3385 3386 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 3387 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 3388 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 3389 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 3390 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 3391 byte chips. 3392 3393 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 3394 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 3395 in the chip address. 3396 3397 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 3398 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 3399 3400 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 3401 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 3402 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 3403 3404 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 3405 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 3406 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 3407 EEPROM. For example: 3408 3409 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0" 3410 3411 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 3412 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 3413 3414- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 3415 3416 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 3417 want to use for the environment. 3418 3419 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3420 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3421 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3422 3423 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 3424 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 3425 at the specified address. 3426 3427- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 3428 3429 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 3430 want to use for the local device's environment. 3431 3432 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3433 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3434 3435 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 3436 environment area within the remote memory space. The 3437 local device can get the environment from remote memory 3438 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 3439 3440BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3441"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3442environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3443but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3444 3445- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 3446 3447 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 3448 for the environment. 3449 3450 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3451 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3452 3453 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3454 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 3455 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3456 3457 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3458 3459 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 3460 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 3461 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 3462 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 3463 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3464 3465 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 3466 3467 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 3468 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 3469 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 3470 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 3471 the range to be avoided. 3472 3473 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 3474 3475 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 3476 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 3477 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 3478 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 3479 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 3480 3481- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3482 3483 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3484 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3485 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3486 3487- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 3488 3489 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 3490 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 3491 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 3492 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 3493 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 3494 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 3495 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 3496 3497Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3498has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3499created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 3500until then to read environment variables. 3501 3502The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3503is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3504with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3505necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3506"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3507have any device yet where we could complain.] 3508 3509Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3510the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3511use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3512 3513- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3514 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3515 3516 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3517 also needs to be defined. 3518 3519- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3520 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3521 3522- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3523 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3524 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3525 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3526 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3527 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3528 3529- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 3530 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 3531 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 3532 to do this. 3533 3534- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 3535 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 3536 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 3537 present. 3538 3539Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3540--------------------------------------------------- 3541 3542- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3543 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3544 3545- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 3546 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 3547 3548 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 3549 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 3550 the IMMR register after a reset. 3551 3552- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 3553 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 3554 PowerPC SOCs. 3555 3556- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 3557 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 3558 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 3559 3560 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 3561 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 3562 3563- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 3564 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 3565 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 3566 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 3567 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 3568 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 3569 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 3570 3571 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 3572 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 3573 3574- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 3575 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 3576 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 3577 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3578 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3579 3580- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 3581 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 3582 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3583 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3584 3585- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 3586 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 3587 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 3588 3589- Floppy Disk Support: 3590 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 3591 3592 the default drive number (default value 0) 3593 3594 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 3595 3596 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 3597 (default value 1) 3598 3599 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 3600 3601 defines the offset of register from address. It 3602 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 3603 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 3604 3605 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 3606 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 3607 default value. 3608 3609 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 3610 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 3611 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 3612 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 3613 initializations. 3614 3615- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 3616 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 3617 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 3618 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 3619 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 3620 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 3621 is requierd. 3622 3623- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 3624 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 3625 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 3626 3627- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 3628 3629 Start address of memory area that can be used for 3630 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 3631 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 3632 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 3633 will become available only after programming the 3634 memory controller and running certain initialization 3635 sequences. 3636 3637 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 3638 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 3639 - MPC824X: data cache 3640 - PPC4xx: data cache 3641 3642- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 3643 3644 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 3645 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 3646 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 3647 data is located at the end of the available space 3648 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 3649 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 3650 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 3651 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 3652 3653 Note: 3654 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 3655 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 3656 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 3657 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 3658 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 3659 3660- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 3661 3662- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 3663 3664- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 3665 3666- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 3667 3668- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 3669 3670- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 3671 3672- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 3673 SDRAM timing 3674 3675- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 3676 periodic timer for refresh 3677 3678- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 3679 3680- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 3681 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 3682 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 3683 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 3684 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 3685 3686- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 3687 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 3688 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 3689 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 3690 3691- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 3692 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 3693 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 3694 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 3695 3696- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3697 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3698 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 3699 3700- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3701 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3702 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 3703 3704- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3705 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3706 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 3707 3708- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 3709 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 3710 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 3711 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 3712 3713- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 3714 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 3715 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 3716 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 3717 cpm_8260.h. 3718 3719- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3720 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 3721 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 3722 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3723 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 3724 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 3725 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 3726 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 3727 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 3728 3729- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 3730 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 3731 required. 3732 3733- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 3734 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 3735 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 3736 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 3737 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 3738 by coreboot or similar. 3739 3740- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 3741 Chip has SRIO or not 3742 3743- CONFIG_SRIO1: 3744 Board has SRIO 1 port available 3745 3746- CONFIG_SRIO2: 3747 Board has SRIO 2 port available 3748 3749- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 3750 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3751 3752- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 3753 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3754 3755- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 3756 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3757 3758- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 3759 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 3760 a 16 bit bus. 3761 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 3762 Example of driver that uses it: 3763 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 3764 3765- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 3766 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 3767 a default value will be used. 3768 3769- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 3770 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 3771 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 3772 3773 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 3774 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 3775 3776- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 3777 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 3778 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 3779 to something your driver can deal with. 3780 3781- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 3782 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 3783 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 3784 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 3785 header files or board specific files. 3786 3787- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 3788 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 3789 3790- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 3791 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 3792 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 3793 3794- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 3795 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 3796 3797- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 3798 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 3799 to the given FEC; i. e. 3800 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 3801 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 3802 3803 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 3804 3805- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 3806 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 3807 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 3808 3809- CONFIG_RMII 3810 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 3811 Note that this is a global option, we can't 3812 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 3813 3814- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 3815 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 3816 The syntax is: 3817 3818 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 3819 3820 Where address/count indicate a memory area 3821 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 3822 area should have. 3823 3824- CONFIG_LOOPW 3825 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 3826 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3827 3828- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 3829 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 3830 "md/mw" commands. 3831 Examples: 3832 3833 => mdc.b 10 4 500 3834 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 3835 3836 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 3837 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 3838 3839 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 3840 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3841 3842- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 3843 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 3844 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 3845 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 3846 relocate itself into RAM. 3847 3848 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 3849 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 3850 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 3851 these initializations itself. 3852 3853- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 3854 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 3855 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 3856 compiling a NAND SPL. 3857 3858- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 3859 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 3860 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 3861 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 3862 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 3863 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 3864 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 3865 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 3866 3867- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 3868 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 3869 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 3870 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 3871 conditions but may increase the binary size. 3872 3873- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 3874 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 3875 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 3876 3877- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 3878 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 3879 3880 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 3881 3882Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 3883----------------------------------- 3884 3885The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 3886loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 3887This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 3888are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 3889within that device. 3890 3891- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 3892 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 3893 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 3894 is also specified. 3895 3896- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 3897 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 3898 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 3899 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 3900 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 3901 3902- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 3903 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 3904 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 3905 virtual address in NOR flash. 3906 3907- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 3908 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 3909 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 3910 3911- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 3912 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 3913 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 3914 3915- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 3916 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 3917 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 3918 3919- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 3920 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 3921 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 3922 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 3923 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 3924 master's memory space. 3925 3926Building the Software: 3927====================== 3928 3929Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 3930and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 3931all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 3932(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 3933recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 3934which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 3935 3936If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 3937have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 3938you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 3939Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 3940necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 3941 3942 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 3943 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 3944 3945Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 3946 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 3947 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 3948 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 3949 3950 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 3951 3952 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 3953 be executed on computers running Windows. 3954 3955U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 3956sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 3957is done by typing: 3958 3959 make NAME_config 3960 3961where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 3962rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 3963 3964Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 3965 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 3966 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 3967 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 3968 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 3969 3970 make TQM823L_config 3971 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 3972 3973 make TQM823L_LCD_config 3974 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 3975 3976 etc. 3977 3978 3979Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 3980images ready for download to / installation on your system: 3981 3982- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 3983- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 3984- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 3985 3986By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 3987in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 3988this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 3989 39901. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 3991 3992 make O=/tmp/build distclean 3993 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 3994 make O=/tmp/build all 3995 39962. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 3997 3998 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 3999 make distclean 4000 make NAME_config 4001 make all 4002 4003Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 4004variable. 4005 4006 4007Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 4008for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 4009native "make". 4010 4011 4012If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 4013to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 4014steps: 4015 40161. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 4017 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 4018 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 40192. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 4020 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 4021 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 40223. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 4023 your board 40243. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 4025 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 40264. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 40275. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 4028 to be installed on your target system. 40296. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 4030 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 4031 4032 4033Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 4034============================================================== 4035 4036If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 4037or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 4038provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 4039the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 4040official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 4041 4042But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 4043cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 4044the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 4045just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 4046for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 4047select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 4048environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 4049you can type 4050 4051 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4052 4053or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 4054 4055 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 4056 4057When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 4058U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 4059setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 4060built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 4061<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 4062location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 4063variable. For example: 4064 4065 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4066 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 4067 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4068 4069With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 4070log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 4071during the whole build process. 4072 4073 4074See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 4075 4076 4077Monitor Commands - Overview: 4078============================ 4079 4080go - start application at address 'addr' 4081run - run commands in an environment variable 4082bootm - boot application image from memory 4083bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 4084bootz - boot zImage from memory 4085tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 4086 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 4087 (and eventually "gatewayip") 4088tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 4089rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 4090diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 4091loads - load S-Record file over serial line 4092loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 4093md - memory display 4094mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 4095nm - memory modify (constant address) 4096mw - memory write (fill) 4097cp - memory copy 4098cmp - memory compare 4099crc32 - checksum calculation 4100i2c - I2C sub-system 4101sspi - SPI utility commands 4102base - print or set address offset 4103printenv- print environment variables 4104setenv - set environment variables 4105saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 4106protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 4107erase - erase FLASH memory 4108flinfo - print FLASH memory information 4109nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 4110bdinfo - print Board Info structure 4111iminfo - print header information for application image 4112coninfo - print console devices and informations 4113ide - IDE sub-system 4114loop - infinite loop on address range 4115loopw - infinite write loop on address range 4116mtest - simple RAM test 4117icache - enable or disable instruction cache 4118dcache - enable or disable data cache 4119reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 4120echo - echo args to console 4121version - print monitor version 4122help - print online help 4123? - alias for 'help' 4124 4125 4126Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 4127======================================== 4128 4129TODO. 4130 4131For now: just type "help <command>". 4132 4133 4134Environment Variables: 4135====================== 4136 4137U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 4138can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 4139 4140Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 4141"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 4142without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 4143environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 4144working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 4145environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 4146 4147Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 4148 4149List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 4150 4151 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 4152 4153 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 4154 4155 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 4156 4157 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 4158 4159 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 4160 4161 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4162 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4163 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 4164 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 4165 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 4166 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 4167 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 4168 bootm_mapsize. 4169 4170 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 4171 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 4172 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 4173 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 4174 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 4175 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 4176 used otherwise. 4177 4178 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4179 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4180 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 4181 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 4182 environment variable. 4183 4184 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 4185 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 4186 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 4187 4188 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 4189 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 4190 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 4191 load any image using TFTP 4192 4193 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 4194 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 4195 be automatically started (by internally calling 4196 "bootm") 4197 4198 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 4199 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 4200 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 4201 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 4202 data. 4203 4204 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 4205 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 4206 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 4207 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 4208 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 4209 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 4210 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 4211 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 4212 access it during the boot procedure. 4213 4214 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 4215 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 4216 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 4217 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 4218 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 4219 must be accessible by the kernel. 4220 4221 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 4222 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 4223 defined. 4224 4225 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 4226 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 4227 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 4228 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 4229 it must be saved and board must be reset. 4230 4231 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 4232 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 4233 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 4234 is usually what you want since it allows for 4235 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 4236 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 4237 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 4238 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 4239 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 4240 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 4241 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 4242 4243 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 4244 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 4245 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 4246 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 4247 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 4248 12 MB as well - this can be done with 4249 4250 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 4251 4252 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 4253 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 4254 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 4255 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 4256 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 4257 boot time on your system, but requires that this 4258 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 4259 4260 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4261 4262 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 4263 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 4264 4265 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 4266 4267 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4268 4269 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 4270 4271 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 4272 4273 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 4274 4275 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 4276 4277 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 4278 For example you can do the following 4279 4280 => setenv ethact FEC 4281 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 4282 => setenv ethact SCC 4283 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 4284 4285 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 4286 available network interfaces. 4287 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 4288 4289 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 4290 either succeed or fail without retrying. 4291 When set to "once" the network operation will 4292 fail when all the available network interfaces 4293 are tried once without success. 4294 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 4295 themselves. 4296 4297 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 4298 4299 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 4300 UDP source port. 4301 4302 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 4303 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 4304 4305 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 4306 we use the TFTP server's default block size 4307 4308 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 4309 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 4310 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 4311 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 4312 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 4313 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 4314 with unreliable TFTP servers. 4315 4316 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 4317 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 4318 VLAN tagged frames. 4319 4320The following image location variables contain the location of images 4321used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 4322not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 4323variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 4324server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 4325loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 4326flash or offset in NAND flash. 4327 4328*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 4329boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 4330boards use these variables for other purposes. 4331 4332Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4333----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4334u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4335Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4336device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4337ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4338 4339The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4340updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4341depending the information provided by your boot server: 4342 4343 bootfile - see above 4344 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4345 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4346 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4347 hostname - Target hostname 4348 ipaddr - see above 4349 netmask - Subnet Mask 4350 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4351 serverip - see above 4352 4353 4354There are two special Environment Variables: 4355 4356 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4357 as type string and/or serial number 4358 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4359 4360These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4361the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4362once they have been set once. 4363 4364 4365Further special Environment Variables: 4366 4367 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4368 with the "version" command. This variable is 4369 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4370 4371 4372Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4373only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4374 4375 4376Callback functions for environment variables: 4377--------------------------------------------- 4378 4379For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 4380when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 4381be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 4382deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 4383effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 4384 4385The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 4386U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 4387 4388These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 4389static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 4390in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 4391associations. The list must be in the following format: 4392 4393 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 4394 list = entry[,list] 4395 4396If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 4397Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 4398 4399Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 4400with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 4401override any association in the static list. You can define 4402CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 4403".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4404 4405 4406Command Line Parsing: 4407===================== 4408 4409There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4410the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4411 4412Old, simple command line parser: 4413-------------------------------- 4414 4415- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4416- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4417- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4418- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4419 for example: 4420 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4421- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4422 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4423 4424Hush shell: 4425----------- 4426 4427- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4428 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4429 until...do...done, ... 4430- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4431 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4432 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4433 command 4434 4435General rules: 4436-------------- 4437 4438(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4439 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4440 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4441 executed anyway. 4442 4443(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4444 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4445 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4446 variables are not executed. 4447 4448Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4449======================================= 4450 4451Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4452such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4453"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4454 4455Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4456MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4457"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4458 4459If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4460in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4461ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4462variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4463 4464o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4465 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4466 4467o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4468 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4469 used. 4470 4471o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4472 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4473 4474o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4475 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4476 warning is printed. 4477 4478o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4479 is raised. 4480 4481If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4482will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4483may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4484The naming convention is as follows: 4485"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4486 4487Image Formats: 4488============== 4489 4490U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4491images in two formats: 4492 4493New uImage format (FIT) 4494----------------------- 4495 4496Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4497to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4498components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4499SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4500 4501 4502Old uImage format 4503----------------- 4504 4505Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4506preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4507details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4508 4509* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4510 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4511 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4512 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4513 INTEGRITY). 4514* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4515 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4516 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4517* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4518* Load Address 4519* Entry Point 4520* Image Name 4521* Image Timestamp 4522 4523The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4524and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4525CRC32 checksums. 4526 4527 4528Linux Support: 4529============== 4530 4531Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4532easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4533U-Boot. 4534 4535U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4536special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4537"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4538instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4539serves several purposes: 4540 4541- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4542 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4543 Flash memory footprint) 4544 4545- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4546 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4547 4548- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4549 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4550 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 4551 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 4552 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 4553 software is easier now. 4554 4555 4556Linux HOWTO: 4557============ 4558 4559Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 4560--------------------------------------- 4561 4562U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 4563configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 4564(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 4565Linux :-). 4566 4567But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 4568 4569Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 4570include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 4571Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 4572and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 4573as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 4574 4575 4576Configuring the Linux kernel: 4577----------------------------- 4578 4579No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 4580device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 4581 4582 4583Building a Linux Image: 4584----------------------- 4585 4586With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 4587not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 4588"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 4589U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 4590which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 4591100% compatible format. 4592 4593Example: 4594 4595 make TQM850L_config 4596 make oldconfig 4597 make dep 4598 make uImage 4599 4600The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 4601encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 4602CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 4603 4604* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 4605 4606* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 4607 4608 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 4609 -R .note -R .comment \ 4610 -S vmlinux linux.bin 4611 4612* compress the binary image: 4613 4614 gzip -9 linux.bin 4615 4616* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 4617 4618 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 4619 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 4620 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 4621 4622 4623The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 4624with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 4625combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 4626byte header containing information about target architecture, 4627operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 4628stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 4629 4630"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 4631print the header information, or to build new images. 4632 4633In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 4634contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 4635checksum verification: 4636 4637 tools/mkimage -l image 4638 -l ==> list image header information 4639 4640The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 4641from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 4642 4643 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 4644 -n name -d data_file image 4645 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 4646 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 4647 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 4648 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 4649 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 4650 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 4651 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 4652 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 4653 4654Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 4655address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 4656kernel version: 4657 4658- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 4659- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 4660 4661So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 4662 4663 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4664 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 4665 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 4666 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 4667 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4668 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4669 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4670 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4671 Load Address: 0x00000000 4672 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4673 4674To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 4675 4676 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 4677 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4678 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4679 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4680 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4681 Load Address: 0x00000000 4682 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4683 4684NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 4685speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 4686needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 4687need to be uncompressed: 4688 4689 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 4690 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4691 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 4692 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 4693 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 4694 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4695 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4696 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 4697 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 4698 Load Address: 0x00000000 4699 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4700 4701 4702Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 4703when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 4704 4705 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 4706 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 4707 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 4708 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 4709 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 4710 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 4711 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 4712 Load Address: 0x00000000 4713 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4714 4715 4716Installing a Linux Image: 4717------------------------- 4718 4719To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 4720you must convert the image to S-Record format: 4721 4722 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 4723 4724The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 4725image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 4726address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 4907 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 4908 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 4909 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 4910 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 4911 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 4912 being started. 4913 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 4914 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 4915 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 4916 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 4917 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 4918 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 4919 4920 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 4921 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 4922 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 4923 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 4924 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 4925 a multiple of 4 bytes). 4926 4927 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 4928 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 4929 flash memory. 4930 4931 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 4932 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 4933 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 4934 as command interpreter. 4935 4936Booting the Linux zImage: 4937------------------------- 4938 4939On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 4940using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 4941as the syntax of "bootm" command. 4942 4943Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply 4944kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 4945address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 4946format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 4947 4948 4949Standalone HOWTO: 4950================= 4951 4952One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 4953run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 4954U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 4955 4956Two simple examples are included with the sources: 4957 4958"Hello World" Demo: 4959------------------- 4960 4961'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 4962application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 4963It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 4964like that: 4965 4966 => loads 4967 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4968 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 4969 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4970 [file transfer complete] 4971 [connected] 4972 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4973 4974 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 4995controlled by the following keys: 4996 4997 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 4998 b - enable interrupts and start timer 4999 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 5000 q - quit application 5001 5002 => loads 5003 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5004 ~>examples/timer.srec 5005 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5006 [file transfer complete] 5007 [connected] 5008 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5009 5010 => go 40004 5011 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 5012 TIMERS=0xfff00980 5013 Using timer 1 5014 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 5015 5016Hit 'b': 5017 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 5018 Enabling timer 5019Hit '?': 5020 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 5021 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 5022Hit '?': 5023 [q, b, e, ?] . 5024 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 5025Hit '?': 5026 [q, b, e, ?] . 5027 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 5028Hit '?': 5029 [q, b, e, ?] . 5030 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 5031Hit 'e': 5032 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 5033Hit 'q': 5034 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 5035 5036 5037Minicom warning: 5038================ 5039 5040Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 5041"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 5042consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 5043Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 5044especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 5045use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 5046http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 5047for help with kermit. 5048 5049 5050Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 5051configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 5052 5053 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 5070 5071 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 5072 # mkdir powerpc 5073 # ln -s powerpc machine 5074 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 5075 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 5076 5077Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 5078and U-Boot include files. 5079 5080Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 5081stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 5082proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 5083tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 5084meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 5085 5086 5087Implementation Internals: 5088========================= 5089 5090The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 5091implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 5092inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 5093hardware. 5094 5095 5096Initial Stack, Global Data: 5097--------------------------- 5098 5099The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 5100starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 5101system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 5102This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 5103is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 5104at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 5105options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 5106models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 5107MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 5108locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 5109 5110 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 5111 U-Boot mailing list: 5112 5113 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 5114 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 5115 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 5116 ... 5117 5118 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 5119 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 5120 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 5121 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 5122 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 5123 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 5124 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 5125 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 5126 5127 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 5128 is another option for the system designer to use as an 5129 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 5130 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 5131 board designers haven't used it for something that would 5132 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 5133 used. 5134 5135 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 5136 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 5137 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 5138 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 5139 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 5140 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 5141 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 5142 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 5143 you get the config right. 5144 5145 -Chris Hallinan 5146 DS4.COM, Inc. 5147 5148It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 5149code for the initialization procedures: 5150 5151* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 5152 to write it. 5153 5154* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 5155 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 5156 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 5157 5158* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 5159 that. 5160 5161Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 5162normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 5163turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 5164simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 5165functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 5166functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 5167the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 5168place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 5169reserve for this purpose. 5170 5171When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 5172relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 5173GCC's implementation. 5174 5175For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 5176 R1: stack pointer 5177 R2: reserved for system use 5178 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 5179 R5-R10: parameter passing 5180 R13: small data area pointer 5181 R30: GOT pointer 5182 R31: frame pointer 5183 5184 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 5185 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 5186 going back and forth between asm and C) 5187 5188 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 5189 5190 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 5191 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 5192 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 5193 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 5194 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 5195 624 text + 127 data). 5196 5197On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 5198 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 5199 5200 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 5201 5202On ARM, the following registers are used: 5203 5204 R0: function argument word/integer result 5205 R1-R3: function argument word 5206 R9: GOT pointer 5207 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 5208 R11: argument (frame) pointer 5209 R12: temporary workspace 5210 R13: stack pointer 5211 R14: link register 5212 R15: program counter 5213 5214 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 5215 5216On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 5217 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 5218 5219 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 5220 5221 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 5222 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 5223 5224On NDS32, the following registers are used: 5225 5226 R0-R1: argument/return 5227 R2-R5: argument 5228 R15: temporary register for assembler 5229 R16: trampoline register 5230 R28: frame pointer (FP) 5231 R29: global pointer (GP) 5232 R30: link register (LP) 5233 R31: stack pointer (SP) 5234 PC: program counter (PC) 5235 5236 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 5237 5238NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 5239or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 5240 5241Memory Management: 5242------------------ 5243 5244U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 5245MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 5246 5247The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 5248controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 5249memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 5250physical memory banks. 5251 5252U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 5253TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 5254booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 5255to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 5256memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 5257configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 5258Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 5259 5260Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 5261of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 5262 5263So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 5264this: 5265 5266 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 5267 : 5268 0x0000 1FFF 5269 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 5270 : 5271 : 5272 5273 : 5274 : 5275 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 5276 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 5277 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 5278 : 5279 0x00FD FFFF 5280 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 5281 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 5282 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 5283 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 5284 5285 5286System Initialization: 5287---------------------- 5288 5289In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 5290(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 5291configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 5292To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 5293To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 5294initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 5295which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 5296part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 5297the caches and the SIU. 5298 5299Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 5300preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 5301(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 5302on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 5303programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 5304simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 5305banks. 5306 5307When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 5308different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 5309bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 53100x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 5311contiguous memory starting from 0. 5312 5313Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 5314and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 5315Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 5316pages, and the final stack is set up. 5317 5318Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 5319until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 5320running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 5321new address in RAM. 5322 5323 5324U-Boot Porting Guide: 5325---------------------- 5326 5327[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 5328list, October 2002] 5329 5330 5331int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 5332{ 5333 sighandler_t no_more_time; 5334 5335 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 5336 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 5337 5338 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 5339 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 5340 return 0; 5341 } 5342 5343 Download latest U-Boot source; 5344 5345 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 5346 5347 if (clueless) 5348 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 5349 5350 while (learning) { 5351 Read the README file in the top level directory; 5352 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 5353 Read applicable doc/*.README; 5354 Read the source, Luke; 5355 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 5356 } 5357 5358 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 5359 Buy a BDI3000; 5360 else 5361 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 5362 5363 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 5364 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 5365 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5366 } else { 5367 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5368 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5369 } 5370 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5371 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5372 5373 while (!accepted) { 5374 while (!running) { 5375 do { 5376 Add / modify source code; 5377 } until (compiles); 5378 Debug; 5379 if (clueless) 5380 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5381 } 5382 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5383 if (reasonable critiques) 5384 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5385 else 5386 Defend code as written; 5387 } 5388 5389 return 0; 5390} 5391 5392void no_more_time (int sig) 5393{ 5394 hire_a_guru(); 5395} 5396 5397 5398Coding Standards: 5399----------------- 5400 5401All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5402coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5403"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5404 5405Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5406MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5407reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5408sources. 5409 5410Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5411Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5412in your code. 5413 5414Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5415- remove any trailing white space 5416- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5417- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5418- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5419- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5420 5421Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5422with a request to reformat the changes. 5423 5424 5425Submitting Patches: 5426------------------- 5427 5428Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5429establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5430may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5431 5432Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5433 5434Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5435see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5436 5437When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5438it: 5439 5440* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5441 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5442 patch actually fixes something. 5443 5444* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5445 implementation. 5446 5447* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5448 5449* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5450 5451* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 5452 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too. 5453 5454* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5455 document these in the README file. 5456 5457* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5458 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5459 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5460 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5461 with some other mail clients. 5462 5463 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5464 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5465 GNU diff. 5466 5467 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5468 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5469 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5470 affected files). 5471 5472 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5473 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5474 5475* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5476 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5477 5478* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5479 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5480 5481 5482Notes: 5483 5484* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5485 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5486 for any of the boards. 5487 5488* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5489 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5490 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5491 5492* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5493 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5494 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5495 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5496 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5497 modification. 5498 5499* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5500 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5501 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5502 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5503
