For instance, all monitor commands are 24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to 25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used 26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can 27load and run it dynamically. 28 29 30Status: 31======= 32 33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the 34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered 35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. 36 37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out 38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board 39maintainers. 40 41Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree; 42it can be created dynamically from the Git log using: 43 44 make CHANGELOG 45 46 47Where to get help: 48================== 49 50In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 51U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 52<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

the 229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 230 231There are two classes of configuration variables: 232 233* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 235 "CONFIG_". 236 237* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 240 "CONFIG_SYS_". 241 242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 246as an example here. 247 248 249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 250--------------------------------------------------- 251 252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig". 254 255Example: For a TQM823L module type: 256 257 cd u-boot 258 make TQM823L_defconfig 259 260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent 262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 263 264 265Sandbox Environment: 266-------------------- 267 268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox' 269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture- 270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to 271run some of U-Boot's tests. 272 273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details. 274 275 276Board Initialisation Flow: 277-------------------------- 278 279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both 280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL 281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each 282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this. 283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this. 284 285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after 286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below. 287 288lowlevel_init(): 289 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f() 290 - no global_data or BSS 291 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed) 292 - must not set up SDRAM or use console 293 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to 294 board_init_f() 295 - this is almost never needed 296 - return normally from this function 297 298board_init_f(): 299 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r(): 300 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART 301 - global_data is available 302 - stack is in SRAM 303 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables, 304 only stack variables and global_data 305 306 Non-SPL-specific notes: 307 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this 308 can do nothing 309 310 SPL-specific notes: 311 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own 312 version as needed. 313 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis 314 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work 315 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S 316 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r() 317 directly) 318 319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at 320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below 321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of 322memory. 323 324board_init_r(): 325 - purpose: main execution, common code 326 - global_data is available 327 - SDRAM is available 328 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used 329 - execution eventually continues to main_loop() 330 331 Non-SPL-specific notes: 332 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from 333 there. 334 335 SPL-specific notes: 336 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and 337 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM 338 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is 339 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a 340 spl_board_init() function containing this call 341 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux 342 343 344 345Configuration Options: 346---------------------- 347 348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 349such information is kept in a configuration file 350"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 351 352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 353"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 354 355 356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 358build a config tool - later. 359 360 361The following options need to be configured: 362 363- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 364 365- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 366 367- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 368 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 369 370- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 371 Define exactly one of 372 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 373--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 374 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 375 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 376 377- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 378 Define exactly one of 379 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 380 381- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 382 Define one or more of 383 CONFIG_CMA302 384 385- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 386 Define one or more of 387 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 388 the LCD display every second with 389 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 390 391- Marvell Family Member 392 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 393 multiple fs option at one time 394 for marvell soc family 395 396- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 397 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 398 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 399 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 400 reference PIT/RTC clock 401 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 402 or XTAL/EXTAL) 403 404- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 405 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 406 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 407 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 408 See doc/README.MPC866 409 410 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 411 412 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 413 of relying on the correctness of the configured 414 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 415 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 416 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 417 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 418 419 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 420 421 Define this option if you want to enable the 422 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 423 424- 85xx CPU Options: 425 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 426 427 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 428 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 429 compliance, among other possible reasons. 430 431 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 432 433 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 434 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 435 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 436 437 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 438 439 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 440 tree nodes for the given platform. 441 442 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 443 444 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 445 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 446 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 447 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 448 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 449 purpose. 450 451 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 452 453 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 454 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 455 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 456 457 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 458 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 459 460 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 461 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 462 463 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 464 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 465 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 466 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 467 468 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 469 this erratum. 470 471 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 472 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 473 required during NOR boot. 474 475 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND 476 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only 477 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision 478 479 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 480 481 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 482 according to the A004510 workaround. 483 484 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR 485 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is 486 connected exclusively to the DSP cores. 487 488 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 489 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 490 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 491 492 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR 493 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly 494 connected to the DSP core. 495 496 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 497 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 498 499 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK 500 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's. 501 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply 502 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock. 503 504 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F 505 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the 506 time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized. 507 508 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP 509 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is 510 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up. 511 512- Generic CPU options: 513 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA 514 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f(). 515 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in 516 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board 517 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f(). 518 519 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 520 521 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 522 values is arch specific. 523 524 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR 525 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is 526 found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core 527 SoCs. 528 529 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_ADDR 530 Freescale DDR memory-mapped register base. 531 532 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 533 Specify emulator support for DDR.

It can be enabled for SoCs with 553 Freescale DDR1 or DDR2 controllers, depending on the board 554 implemetation. 555 556 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2 557 Board config to use DDR2. It can be eanbeld for SoCs with 558 Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board 559 implementation. 560 561 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3 562 Board config to use DDR3. It can be enabled for SoCs with 563 Freescale DDR3 or DDR3L controllers. 564 565 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3L 566 Board config to use DDR3L. It can be enabled for SoCs with 567 DDR3L controllers. 568 569 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR4 570 Board config to use DDR4. It can be enabled for SoCs with 571 DDR4 controllers. 572 573 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_IFC_BE 574 Defines the IFC controller register space as Big Endian 575 576 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_IFC_LE 577 Defines the IFC controller register space as Little Endian 578 579 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_PBI 580 It enables addition of RCW (Power on reset configuration) in built image. 581 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details 582 583 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_RCW 584 It adds PBI(pre-boot instructions) commands in u-boot build image. 585 PBI commands can be used to configure SoC before it starts the execution. 586 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details 587 588 CONFIG_SPL_FSL_PBL 589 It adds a target to create boot binary having SPL binary in PBI format 590 concatenated with u-boot binary. 591 592 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_BE 593 Defines the DDR controller register space as Big Endian 594 595 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_LE 596 Defines the DDR controller register space as Little Endian 597 598 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_SDRAM_BASE_PHY 599 Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the 600 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But 601 it could be different for ARM SoCs. 602 603 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B 604 DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special 605 interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape 606 SoCs with ARM core. 607 608 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_MAIN_NUM_CTRLS 609 Number of controllers used as main memory. 610 611 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_OTHER_DDR_NUM_CTRLS 612 Number of controllers used for other than main memory. 613 614 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_BE 615 Defines the SEC controller register space as Big Endian 616 617 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE 618 Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian 619 620- Intel Monahans options: 621 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 622 623 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 624 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 625 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 626 627 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 628 629 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 630 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 631 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 632 by this value. 633 634- MIPS CPU options: 635 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 636 637 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 638 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 639 relocation. 640 641 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 642 643 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 644 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 645 Possible values are: 646 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 647 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 648 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 649 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 650 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 651 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 652 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 653 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 654 655 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 656 657 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 658 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 659 660 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 661 662 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 663 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 664 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 665 666- ARM options: 667 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 668 669 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 670 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 671 672 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 673 674 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 675 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 676 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 677 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 678 GCC. 679 680 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 681 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 682 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 683 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 684 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072 685 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320 686 687 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 688 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 689 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 690 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 691 set these options unless they apply! 692 693 NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These 694 do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine 695 specific checks, but expect no product checks. 696 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973 697 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179 698 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766 699 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870 700 701- Tegra SoC options: 702 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE 703 704 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain 705 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode, 706 such as ARM architectural timer initialization. 707 708- Driver Model 709 Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot 710 introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively 711 moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure, 712 supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in 713 handling of platform data and device tree. 714 715 To enable transition to driver model in a relatively 716 painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently 717 switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new 718 driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass 719 interfaces include compatibility features which may be 720 removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete. 721 As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact 722 not change with driver model. 723 724 See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information. 725 726 CONFIG_DM 727 728 Enable driver model. This brings in the core support, 729 including scanning of platform data on start-up. If 730 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be 731 scanned also when available. 732 733 CONFIG_CMD_DM 734 735 Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print 736 out the driver model tree and the uclasses. 737 738 CONFIG_DM_DEMO 739 740 Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are 741 really only useful for playing around while trying to 742 understand driver model in sandbox. 743 744 CONFIG_SPL_DM 745 746 Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a 747 suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the 748 full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START, 749 consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you 750 must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size. 751 In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses 752 and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See 753 CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable 754 it. 755 756 CONFIG_DM_SERIAL 757 758 Enable driver model for serial. This replaces 759 drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which 760 implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is 761 defined in include/serial.h. 762 763 CONFIG_DM_GPIO 764 765 Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO 766 interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by 767 the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the 768 particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface 769 is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h. 770 771 CONFIG_DM_SPI 772 773 Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface 774 (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by 775 the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI 776 buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in 777 include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached 778 as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves 779 typically use driver-private data instead of extending the 780 spi_slave structure. 781 782 CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH 783 784 Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface 785 (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then 786 implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard 787 SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips 788 supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in 789 include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible 790 with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication 791 during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be 792 enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model 793 for one and not the other). 794 795 CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC 796 797 Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This 798 allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI 799 but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports 800 I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full 801 conversion is not yet possible. 802 803 804 ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by 805 default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these 806 features in SPL. 807 808 CONFIG_DM_WARN 809 810 Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit 811 of space for its strings. 812 813 CONFIG_DM_STDIO 814 815 Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library. 816 817 CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE 818 819 Enable removing of devices. 820 821- Linux Kernel Interface: 822 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 823 824 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 825 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 826 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 827 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 828 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 829 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 830 Linux kernel. 831 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 832 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 833 default environment. 834 835 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 836 837 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions 838 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 839 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 840 841 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 842 843 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 844 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 845 concepts). 846 847 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 848 * New libfdt-based support 849 * Adds the "fdt" command 850 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 851 852 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 853 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 854 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 855 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 856 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 857 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 858 859 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 860 addresses 861 862 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 863 864 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 865 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 866 867 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP 868 869 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make 870 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel. 871 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting 872 the kernel. 873 874 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 875 876 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 877 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 878 879 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 880 881 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 882 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 883 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 884 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 885 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 886 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 887 888 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 889 890 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 891 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 892 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 893 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 894 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 895 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 896 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 897 898- vxWorks boot parameters: 899 900 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 901 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 902 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 903 904 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 905 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 906 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 907 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 908 909 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 910 911 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 912 913 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 914 the defaults discussed just above. 915 916- Cache Configuration: 917 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 918 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 919 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 920 921- Cache Configuration for ARM: 922 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 923 controller 924 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 925 controller register space 926 927- Serial Ports: 928 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 929 930 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 931 932 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 933 934 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 935 936 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 937 938 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 939 the clock speed of the UARTs. 940 941 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 942 943 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 944 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 945 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 946 947 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 948 949 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 950 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 951 this variable to initialize the extra register. 952 953 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 954 955 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 956 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 957 variable to flush the UART at init time. 958 959 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL 960 961 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver. 962 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver 963 964- Console Interface: 965 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 966 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 967 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 968 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 969 970 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 971 port routines must be defined elsewhere 972 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 973 974 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 975 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 976 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 977 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 978 (default big endian) 979 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 980 rectangle fill 981 (cf. smiLynxEM) 982 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 983 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 984 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 985 (cols=pitch) 986 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 987 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 988 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 989 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 990 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 991 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 992 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 993 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 994 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 995 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 996 (i.e. i8042_getc) 997 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 998 (requires blink timer 999 cf. i8042.c) 1000 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 1001 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 1002 upper right corner 1003 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 1004 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 1005 upper left corner 1006 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 1007 linux_logo.h for logo. 1008 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1009 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 1010 additional board info beside 1011 the logo 1012 1013 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 1014 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 1015 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 1016 1017 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 1018 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 1019 environment 'console=serial'. 1020 1021 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 1022 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 1023 the "silent" environment variable. See 1024 doc/README.silent for more information. 1025 1026 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default 1027 is 0x00. 1028 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default 1029 is 0xa0. 1030 1031- Console Baudrate: 1032 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 1033 Select one of the baudrates listed in 1034 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 1035 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 1036 1037- Console Rx buffer length 1038 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 1039 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 1040 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 1041 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 1042 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 1043 the SMC. 1044 1045- Pre-Console Buffer: 1046 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 1047 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 1048 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 1049 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 1050 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 1051 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 1052 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 1053 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 1054 earlier bytes are discarded. 1055 1056 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 1057 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 1058 1059- Safe printf() functions 1060 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 1061 the printf() functions. These are defined in 1062 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 1063 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 1064 If this option is not given then these functions will 1065 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 1066 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 1067 1068- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 1069 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 1070 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 1071 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 1072 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 1073 1074 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 1075 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 1076 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 1077 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 1078 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 1079 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 1080 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 1081 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 1082 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 1083 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 1084 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 1085 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 1086 1087- Autoboot Command: 1088 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 1089 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 1090 define a command string that is automatically executed 1091 when no character is read on the console interface 1092 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 1093 1094 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 1095 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 1096 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 1097 environment value "bootargs". 1098 1099 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 1100 The value of these goes into the environment as 1101 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 1102 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 1103 RAM and NFS. 1104 1105- Bootcount: 1106 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 1107 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot 1108 cycle, see: 1109 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 1110 1111 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV 1112 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware 1113 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a 1114 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable 1115 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is 1116 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is 1117 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment. 1118 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available" 1119 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully. 1120 1121- Pre-Boot Commands: 1122 CONFIG_PREBOOT 1123 1124 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 1125 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 1126 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 1127 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 1128 entering interactive mode. 1129 1130 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 1131 automatically generated or modified. For an example 1132 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 1133 modified when the user holds down a certain 1134 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 1135 booting the systems 1136 1137- Serial Download Echo Mode: 1138 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 1139 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 1140 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 1141 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 1142 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 1143 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 1144 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 1145 1146- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 1147 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 1148 Select one of the baudrates listed in 1149 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 1150 1151- Monitor Functions: 1152 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 1153 from the build by using the #include files 1154 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 1155 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 1156 and augmenting with additional #define's 1157 for wanted commands. 1158 1159 The default command

"config_cmd_all.h" 1274 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 1275 1276 Other Commands: 1277 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1278 1279 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 1280 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 1281 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 1282 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 1283 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 1284 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 1285 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 1286 initial stack and some data. 1287 1288 1289 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 1290 1291- Regular expression support: 1292 CONFIG_REGEX 1293 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 1294 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 1295 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 1296 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 1297 1298- Device tree: 1299 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 1300 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 1301 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 1302 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 1303 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 1304 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 1305 1306 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 1307 be done using one of the two options below: 1308 1309 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 1310 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 1311 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 1312 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 1313 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 1314 the global data structure as gd->blob. 1315 1316 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 1317 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 1318 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 1319 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 1320 1321 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 1322 1323 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 1324 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 1325 still use the individual files if you need something more 1326 exotic. 1327 1328- Watchdog: 1329 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 1330 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 1331 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 1332 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 1333 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 1334 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 1335 available, then no further board specific code should 1336 be needed to use it. 1337 1338 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 1339 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 1340 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 1341 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 1342 1343 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT 1344 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds. 1345 1346- U-Boot Version: 1347 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 1348 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1349 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1350 version as printed by the "version" command. 1351 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1352 next reset. 1353 1354- Real-Time Clock: 1355 1356 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1357 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1358 following options: 1359 1360 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1361 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1362 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1363 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1364 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1365 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1366 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1367 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC 1368 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1369 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1370 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1371 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1372 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1373 RV3029 RTC. 1374 1375 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1376 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1377 1378- GPIO Support: 1379 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1380 1381 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1382 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1383 pins supported by a particular chip. 1384 1385 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1386 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1387 1388- I/O tracing: 1389 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O 1390 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out 1391 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is 1392 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that 1393 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code 1394 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To 1395 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>' 1396 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test. 1397 1398 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below. 1399 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will 1400 still continue to operate. 1401 1402 iotrace is enabled 1403 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address) 1404 Size: 00010000 (buffer size) 1405 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset) 1406 Output: 10000120 (start + offset) 1407 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records) 1408 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records) 1409 1410- Timestamp Support: 1411 1412 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1413 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1414 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1415 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1416 1417- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1418 Zero or more of the following: 1419 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1420 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1421 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1422 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1423 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1424 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1425 disk/part_efi.c 1426 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1427 1428 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1429 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1430 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1431 1432- IDE Reset method: 1433 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1434 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1435 1436 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1437 be performed by calling the function 1438 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1439 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1440 1441- ATAPI Support: 1442 CONFIG_ATAPI 1443 1444 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1445 1446- LBA48 Support 1447 CONFIG_LBA48 1448 1449 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1450 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1451 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1452 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1453 1454 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1455 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1456 Default is 32bit. 1457 1458- SCSI Support: 1459 At the moment only there is only support for the 1460 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1461 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1462 1463 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1464 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1465 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1466 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1467 devices. 1468 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1469 1470 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1471 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1472 1473- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1474 CONFIG_E1000 1475 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1476 1477 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1478 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1479 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1480 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1481 1482 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1483 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1484 example with the "sspi" command. 1485 1486 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1487 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1488 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1489 1490 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1491 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1492 1493 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1494 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1495 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1496 write routine for first time initialisation. 1497 1498 CONFIG_TULIP 1499 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1500 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1501 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1502 1503 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1504 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1505 1506 CONFIG_NS8382X 1507 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1508 1509- NETWORK Support (other): 1510 1511 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1512 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1513 1514 CONFIG_RMII 1515 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1516 1517 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1518 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1519 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1520 1521 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1522 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1523 1524 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1525 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1526 1527 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1528 Define this to hold the physical address 1529 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1530 1531 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1532 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1533 1534 CONFIG_SMC91111 1535 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1536 1537 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1538 Define this to hold the physical address 1539 of the device (I/O space) 1540 1541 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1542 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1543 1544 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1545 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1546 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1547 1548 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1549 Support for davinci emac 1550 1551 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1552 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1553 1554 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1555 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1556 1557 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1558 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1559 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1560 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1561 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1562 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1563 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1564 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1565 1566 CONFIG_SMC911X 1567 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1568 1569 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1570 Define this to hold the physical address 1571 of the device (I/O space) 1572 1573 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1574 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1575 1576 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1577 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1578 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1579 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1580 1581 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1582 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1583 1584 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1585 Define the number of ports to be used 1586 1587 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1588 Define the ETH PHY's address 1589 1590 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1591 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1592 1593- PWM Support: 1594 CONFIG_PWM_IMX 1595 Support for PWM modul on the imx6. 1596 1597- TPM Support: 1598 CONFIG_TPM 1599 Support TPM devices. 1600 1601 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C 1602 Support for i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1603 per system is supported at this time. 1604 1605 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BUS_NUMBER 1606 Define the the i2c bus number for the TPM device 1607 1608 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 1609 Define the TPM's address on the i2c bus 1610 1611 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1612 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1613 1614 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI 1615 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. 1616 1617 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1618 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1619 per system is supported at this time. 1620 1621 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1622 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1623 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1624 0xfed40000. 1625 1626 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1627 Add tpm monitor functions. 1628 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1629 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1630 1631 CONFIG_TPM 1632 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1633 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1634 Requires support for a TPM device. 1635 1636 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1637 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1638 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1639 1640- USB Support: 1641 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1642 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1643 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1644 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1645 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1646 storage devices. 1647 Note: 1648 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1649 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1650 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1651 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1652 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1653 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1654 for USB on PSC3 1655 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1656 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1657 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1658 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1659 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1660 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1661 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1662 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1663 1664 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1665 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1666 1667 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2 1668 HW module registers. 1669 1670- USB Device: 1671 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1672 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1673 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1674 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1675 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1676 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1677 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1678 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1679 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1680 a Linux host by 1681 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1682 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1683 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1684 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1685 1686 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1687 Define this to build a UDC device 1688 1689 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1690 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1691 talk to the UDC device 1692 1693 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1694 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1695 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1696 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1697 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1698 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1699 speed. 1700 1701 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1702 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1703 be set to usbtty. 1704 1705 mpc8xx: 1706 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1707 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1708 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1709 1710 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1711 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1712 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1713 1714 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1715 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1716 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1717 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1718 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1719 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1720 1721 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1722 Define this string as the name of your company for 1723 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1724 1725 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1726 Define this string as the name of your product 1727 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1728 1729 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1730 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1731 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1732 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1733 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1734 1735 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1736 Define this as the unique Product ID 1737 for your device 1738 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1739 1740- ULPI Layer Support: 1741 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1742 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1743 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1744 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1745 viewport is supported. 1746 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1747 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1748 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1749 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1750 the appropriate value in Hz. 1751 1752- MMC Support: 1753 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1754 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1755 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1756 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1757 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1758 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1759 1760 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1761 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1762 1763 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1764 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1765 1766 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1767 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1768 1769 CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC 1770 Enable the generic MMC driver 1771 1772 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT 1773 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions. 1774 1775 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB 1776 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the 1777 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC. 1778 1779- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1780 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1781 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1782 1783 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1784 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1785 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1786 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1787 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1788 1789 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1790 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1791 1792 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1793 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1794 1795 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1796 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1797 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1798 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1799 one that would help mostly the developer. 1800 1801 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1802 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1803 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1804 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1805 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1806 1807 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1808 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1809 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1810 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1811 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1812 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1813 1814 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT 1815 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the 1816 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending 1817 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device. 1818 1819 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT 1820 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when 1821 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before 1822 sending again an USB request to the device. 1823 1824- USB Device Android Fastboot support: 1825 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT 1826 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android 1827 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB 1828 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control 1829 used on Android devices. 1830 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information. 1831 1832 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE 1833 This enables support for booting images which use the Android 1834 image format header. 1835 1836 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR 1837 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1838 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for 1839 downloaded images. 1840 1841 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE 1842 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1843 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a 1844 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot. 1845 1846 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH 1847 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing 1848 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define 1849 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command. 1850 1851 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV 1852 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information 1853 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to 1854 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image. 1855 1856 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME 1857 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded 1858 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition 1859 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed 1860 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.) 1861 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the 1862 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value. 1863 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined. 1864 1865- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1866 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1867 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1868 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1869 1870 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1871 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1872 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1873 1874 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1875 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1876 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1877 1878 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1879 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1880 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1881 have not defined a custom partition 1882 1883- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1884 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1885 1886 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1887 file in FAT formatted partition. 1888 1889 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1890 user to write files to FAT. 1891 1892CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1893 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1894 1895 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1896 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1897 and cbfsload. 1898 1899- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size: 1900 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE 1901 1902 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else 1903 a default value of 65536 will be defined. 1904 1905- Keyboard Support: 1906 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1907 1908 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1909 support 1910 1911 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1912 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1913 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1914 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1915 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1916 1917 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1918 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1919 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1920 which provides key scans on request. 1921 1922- Video support: 1923 CONFIG_VIDEO 1924 1925 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1926 video). 1927 1928 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1929 1930 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1931 1932 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1933 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1934 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1935 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1936 assumed. 1937 1938 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1939 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1940 are possible: 1941 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1942 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1943 1944 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1945 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1946 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1947 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1948 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1949 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1950 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1951 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1952 1953 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1954 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1955 1956 1957 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1958 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1959 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1960 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1961 1962 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1963 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1964 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1965 support, and should also define these other macros: 1966 1967 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1968 CONFIG_VIDEO 1969 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1970 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1971 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1972 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1973 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1974 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1975 1976 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1977 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1978 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1979 description of this variable. 1980 1981 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1982 1983 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1984 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1985 driver. 1986 1987 1988- Keyboard Support: 1989 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1990 1991 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1992 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1993 defined in your board-specific files. 1994 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1995 1996- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1997 1998 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1999 display); also select one of the supported displays 2000 by defining one of these: 2001 2002 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 2003 2004 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 2005 2006 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 2007 2008 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 2009 2010 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 2011 2012 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 2013 Active, color, single scan. 2014 2015 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 2016 2017 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 2018 Active, color, single scan. 2019 2020 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 2021 2022 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 2023 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 2024 2025 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 2026 2027 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 2028 Active, color, single scan. 2029 2030 CONFIG_HLD1045 2031 2032 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 2033 Active, color, single scan. 2034 2035 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 2036 2037 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 2038 or 2039 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 2040 or 2041 Hitachi SP14Q002 2042 2043 320x240. Black & white. 2044 2045 Normally display is black on white background; define 2046 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 2047 2048 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 2049 2050 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is 2051 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 2052 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 2053 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 2054 a per-section basis. 2055 2056 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 2057 2058 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 2059 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 2060 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 2061 is slow. 2062 2063 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 2064 2065 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 2066 2067 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 2068 2069 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 2070 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 2071 2072- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 2073 2074 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 2075 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 2076 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 2077 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 2078 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 2079 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 2080 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 2081 loaded very quickly after power-on. 2082 2083 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 2084 2085 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 2086 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 2087 (see README.displaying-bmps). 2088 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 2089 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 2090 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 2091 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 2092 there is no need to set this option. 2093 2094 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 2095 2096 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 2097 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 2098 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 2099 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 2100 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 2101 specify 'm' for centering the image. 2102 2103 Example: 2104 setenv splashpos m,m 2105 => image at center of screen 2106 2107 setenv splashpos 30,20 2108 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 2109 2110 setenv splashpos -10,m 2111 => vertically centered image 2112 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 2113 2114- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 2115 2116 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 2117 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 2118 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 2119 2120- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 2121 2122 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 2123 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 2124 bmp command. 2125 2126- Do compressing for memory range: 2127 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 2128 2129 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 2130 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 2131 2132- Compression support: 2133 CONFIG_GZIP 2134 2135 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 2136 2137 CONFIG_BZIP2 2138 2139 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 2140 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 2141 compressed images are supported. 2142 2143 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 2144 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 2145 be at least 4MB. 2146 2147 CONFIG_LZMA 2148 2149 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 2150 images is included. 2151 2152 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 2153 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 2154 formula: 2155 2156 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 2157 2158 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 2159 and Literal pos bits. 2160 2161 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 2162 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 2163 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 2164 a very small buffer. 2165 2166 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 2167 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 2168 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 2169 2170 CONFIG_LZO 2171 2172 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images 2173 is included. 2174 2175- MII/PHY support: 2176 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 2177 2178 The address of PHY on MII bus. 2179 2180 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 2181 2182 The clock frequency of the MII bus 2183 2184 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 2185 2186 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 2187 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 2188 2189 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 2190 2191 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 2192 reset before any MII register access is possible. 2193 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 2194 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 2195 2196 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 2197 2198 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 2199 command issued before MII status register can be read 2200 2201- Ethernet address: 2202 CONFIG_ETHADDR 2203 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 2204 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 2205 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 2206 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 2207 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 2208 2209 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 2210 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 2211 is not determined automatically. 2212 2213- IP address: 2214 CONFIG_IPADDR 2215 2216 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 2217 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 2218 determined through e.g. bootp. 2219 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 2220 2221- Server IP address: 2222 CONFIG_SERVERIP 2223 2224 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 2225 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 2226 (Environment variable "serverip") 2227 2228 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 2229 2230 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 2231 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 2232 2233- Gateway IP address: 2234 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 2235 2236 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 2237 default router where packets to other networks are 2238 sent to. 2239 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 2240 2241- Subnet mask: 2242 CONFIG_NETMASK 2243 2244 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 2245 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 2246 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 2247 forwarded through a router. 2248 (Environment variable "netmask") 2249 2250- Multicast TFTP Mode: 2251 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 2252 2253 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 2254 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 2255 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 2256 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 2257 multicast group. 2258 2259- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 2260 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 2261 2262 If you have many targets in a network that try to 2263 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 2264 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 2265 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 2266 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 2267 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 2268 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 2269 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 2270 following delays are inserted then: 2271 2272 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 2273 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 2274 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 2275 4th and following 2276 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 2277 2278 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE 2279 2280 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The 2281 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and 2282 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of 2283 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses 2284 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP 2285 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to 2286 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it 2287 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that 2288 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order 2289 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these 2290 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of 2291 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this 2292 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding 2293 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers 2294 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. 2295 2296- DHCP Advanced Options: 2297 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 2298 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 2299 2300 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 2301 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 2302 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 2303 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 2304 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 2305 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 2306 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2307 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 2308 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 2309 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 2310 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 2311 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 2312 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 2313 2314 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 2315 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 2316 2317 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 2318 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 2319 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 2320 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 2321 is not available. 2322 2323 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 2324 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 2325 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 2326 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 2327 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 2328 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 2329 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2330 is defined. 2331 2332 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 2333 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 2334 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 2335 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 2336 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 2337 option 12 to the DHCP server. 2338 2339 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 2340 2341 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 2342 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 2343 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 2344 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 2345 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 2346 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 2347 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 2348 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 2349 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 2350 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 2351 this delay. 2352 2353 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 2354 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 2355 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 2356 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 2357 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 2358 2359 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 2360 2361 - CDP Options: 2362 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 2363 2364 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 2365 2366 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 2367 2368 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 2369 of the device. 2370 2371 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 2372 2373 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 2374 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 2375 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 2376 2377 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 2378 2379 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 2380 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 2381 2382 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 2383 2384 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 2385 2386 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 2387 2388 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 2389 2390 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 2391 2392 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 2393 2394 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 2395 2396 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 2397 device in .1 of milliwatts. 2398 2399 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 2400 2401 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 2402 2403- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 2404 2405 Several configurations allow to display the current 2406 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 2407 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 2408 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 2409 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 2410 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 2411 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 2412 feature in U-Boot. 2413 2414 Additional options: 2415 2416 CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2417 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. 2418 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a 2419 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2420 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. 2421 2422 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE 2423 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which 2424 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and 2425 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state. 2426 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined 2427 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity. 2428 2429- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 2430 2431 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 2432 on those systems that support this (optional) 2433 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 2434 2435- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 2436 2437 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 2438 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 2439 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 2440 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See 2441 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line 2442 interface. 2443 2444 ported i2c driver to the new framework: 2445 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: 2446 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define 2447 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE 2448 for defining speed and slave address 2449 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define 2450 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 2451 for defining speed and slave address 2452 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define 2453 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 2454 for defining speed and slave address 2455 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define 2456 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 2457 for defining speed and slave address 2458 2459 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: 2460 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL 2461 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register 2462 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and 2463 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first 2464 bus. 2465 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define 2466 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset 2467 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and 2468 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the 2469 second bus. 2470 2471 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: 2472 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA 2473 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from 2474 100000 and the slave addr 0!

If you 2567 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this 2568 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can 2569 omit this define. 2570 2571 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS 2572 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. 2573 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can 2574 omit this define. 2575 2576 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS 2577 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected 2578 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 2579 define. 2580 2581 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 2582 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if 2583 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 2584 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 2585 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 2586 2587 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2588 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 2589 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 2590 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 2591 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 2592 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 2593 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2594 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 2595 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 2596 } 2597 2598 which defines 2599 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 2600 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 2601 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 2602 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 2603 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 2604 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 2605 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 2606 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 2607 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 2608 2609 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 2610 2611- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C 2612 2613 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which 2614 provides the following compelling advantages: 2615 2616 - more than one i2c adapter is usable 2617 - approved multibus support 2618 - better i2c mux support 2619 2620 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** 2621 2622 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining 2623 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver 2624 for the selected CPU. 2625 2626 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 2627 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 2628 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 2629 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 2630 command line interface. 2631 2632 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 2633 2634 There are several other quantities that must also be 2635 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2636 2637 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 2638 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 2639 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 2640 the CPU's i2c node address). 2641 2642 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 2643 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 2644 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 2645 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 2646 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 2647 2648 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 2649 2650 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2651 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2652 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 2653 commands until the slave device responds. 2654 2655 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2656 2657 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 2658 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 2659 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 2660 2661 I2C_INIT 2662 2663 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 2664 controller or configure ports. 2665 2666 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 2667 2668 I2C_PORT 2669 2670 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2671 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2672 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2673 2674 I2C_ACTIVE 2675 2676 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2677 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2678 define can be null. 2679 2680 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2681 2682 I2C_TRISTATE 2683 2684 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2685 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2686 define can be null. 2687 2688 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2689 2690 I2C_READ 2691 2692 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2693 false if it is low. 2694 2695 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2696 2697 I2C_SDA(bit) 2698 2699 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2700 is false, it clears it (low). 2701 2702 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2703 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2704 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2705 2706 I2C_SCL(bit) 2707 2708 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2709 is false, it clears it (low). 2710 2711 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2712 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2713 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2714 2715 I2C_DELAY 2716 2717 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2718 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2719 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2720 like: 2721 2722 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2723 2724 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2725 2726 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2727 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2728 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2729 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2730 2731 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2732 the generic GPIO functions. 2733 2734 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2735 2736 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2737 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2738 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2739 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2740 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2741 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2742 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2743 is run early in the boot sequence. 2744 2745 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2746 2747 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2748 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2749 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2750 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2751 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2752 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2753 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2754 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2755 2756 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2757 2758 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2759 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2760 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2761 2762 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2763 2764 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2765 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2766 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2767 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2768 2769 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2770 2771 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2772 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2773 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2774 a 1D array of device addresses 2775 2776 e.g. 2777 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2778 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2779 2780 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2781 2782 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2783 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2784 2785 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2786 2787 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2788 2789 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2790 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2791 2792 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2793 2794 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2795 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2796 2797 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2798 2799 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2800 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2801 2802 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2803 2804 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2805 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2806 specified DTT device. 2807 2808 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2809 2810 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2811 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2812 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2813 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2814 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2815 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2816 the other. 2817 2818- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2819 2820 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2821 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2822 D/As on the SACSng board) 2823 2824 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2825 2826 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2827 only SH7757 is supported. 2828 2829 CONFIG_SPI_X 2830 2831 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2832 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2833 2834 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2835 2836 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2837 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2838 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2839 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2840 defined, the board configuration must define several 2841 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2842 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2843 2844 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2845 2846 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2847 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2848 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2849 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2850 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2851 2852 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2853 2854 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2855 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2856 2857 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT 2858 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed. 2859 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */ 2860 2861- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2862 2863 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2864 2865 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2866 2867 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2868 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2869 2870 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2871 2872 Enables support for FPGA family. 2873 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2874 2875 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2876 2877 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2878 2879 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK 2880 2881 Enable support for fpga loadmk command 2882 2883 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP 2884 2885 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream 2886 2887 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP 2888 2889 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream 2890 (Xilinx only) 2891 2892 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2893 2894 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2895 2896 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2897 2898 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2899 status by the configuration function. This option 2900 will require a board or device specific function to 2901 be written. 2902 2903 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2904 2905 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2906 configuration driver. 2907 2908 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2909 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2910 2911 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2912 2913 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2914 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2915 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2916 indicated a CRC error). 2917 2918 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2919 2920 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert 2921 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II 2922 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2923 ms. 2924 2925 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2926 2927 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during 2928 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2929 2930 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2931 2932 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2933 200 ms. 2934 2935- Configuration Management: 2936 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET 2937 2938 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary 2939 with a special header) as build targets. By defining 2940 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this 2941 special image will be automatically built upon calling 2942 make / MAKEALL. 2943 2944 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2945 2946 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2947 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2948 2949- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2950 2951 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2952 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2953 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2954 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2955 protects these variables from casual modification by 2956 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2957 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2958 change this behaviour: 2959 2960 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2961 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2962 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2963 these parameters. 2964 2965 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2966 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2967 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2968 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2969 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2970 read-only.] 2971 2972 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2973 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2974 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2975 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2976 2977- Protected RAM: 2978 CONFIG_PRAM 2979 2980 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2981 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2982 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2983 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2984 this default value by defining an environment 2985 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2986 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2987 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2988 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2989 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2990 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2991 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2992 2993 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2994 saveenv 2995 2996 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2997 either, which results in a memory region that will 2998 not be affected by reboots. 2999 3000 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 3001 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 3002 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 3003 following board configurations are known to be 3004 "pRAM-clean": 3005 3006 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 3007 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 3008 FLAGADM, TQM8260 3009 3010- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 3011 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 3012 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 3013 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 3014 machines using physical address extension or similar. 3015 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 3016 currently only supports clearing the memory. 3017 3018- Error Recovery: 3019 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 3020 3021 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 3022 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 3023 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 3024 system where you want the system to reboot 3025 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 3026 useful during development since you can try to debug 3027 the conditions that lead to the situation. 3028 3029 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 3030 3031 This variable defines the number of retries for 3032 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 3033 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 3034 default value of 5 is used. 3035 3036 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 3037 3038 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 3039 3040 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 3041 3042 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 3043 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 3044 try longer timeout such as 3045 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 3046 3047- Command Interpreter: 3048 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 3049 3050 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 3051 3052 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 3053 3054 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 3055 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 3056 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 3057 3058 Note: 3059 3060 In the current implementation, the local variables 3061 space and global environment variables space are 3062 separated. Local variables are those you define by 3063 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 3064 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 3065 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 3066 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 3067 3068 Global environment variables are those you use 3069 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 3070 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 3071 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 3072 3073 To store commands and special characters in a 3074 variable, please use double quotation marks 3075 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 3076 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 3077 symbols. 3078 3079- Command Line Editing and History: 3080 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 3081 3082 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 3083 command line input operations 3084 3085- Default Environment: 3086 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 3087 3088 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 3089 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 3090 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 3091 3092 For example, place something like this in your 3093 board's config file: 3094 3095 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 3096 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 3097 "myvar2=value2\0" 3098 3099 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 3100 internal format how the environment is stored by the 3101 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 3102 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 3103 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 3104 You better know what you are doing here. 3105 3106 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 3107 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 3108 the environment like the "source" command or the 3109 boot command first. 3110 3111 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 3112 3113 Define this in order to add variables describing the 3114 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 3115 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 3116 3117 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 3118 3119 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 3120 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 3121 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 3122 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 3123 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 3124 3125 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 3126 3127 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 3128 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 3129 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 3130 3131 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 3132 3133 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 3134 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 3135 that so that the environment is not available until 3136 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 3137 this is instead controlled by the value of 3138 /config/load-environment. 3139 3140- DataFlash Support: 3141 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 3142 3143 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 3144 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 3145 commands cp, md... 3146 3147- Serial Flash support 3148 CONFIG_CMD_SF 3149 3150 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 3151 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 3152 3153 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 3154 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 3155 commands. 3156 3157 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 3158 to handle the common case when only a single serial 3159 flash is present on the system. 3160 3161 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 3162 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 3163 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 3164 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 3165 3166 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 3167 3168 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 3169 test ('sf test'). 3170 3171 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg 3172 3173 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr 3174 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. 3175 3176 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories 3177 3178 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash 3179 memories can be connected with a given cs line. 3180 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections. 3181 3182 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN 3183 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status 3184 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128. 3185 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with 3186 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the 3187 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1, 3188 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register 3189 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER 3190 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this 3191 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH. 3192 3193- SystemACE Support: 3194 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 3195 3196 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 3197 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 3198 of the chip must also be defined in the 3199 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 3200 3201 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 3202 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 3203 3204 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 3205 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 3206 3207- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 3208 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 3209 3210 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 3211 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 3212 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 3213 number generator is used. 3214 3215 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 3216 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 3217 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 3218 3219 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 3220 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 3221 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 3222 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 3223 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 3224 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 3225 but sometimes that is not allowed. 3226 3227- Hashing support: 3228 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 3229 3230 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 3231 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 3232 3233 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 3234 3235 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 3236 size a little. 3237 3238 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1 3239 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software. 3240 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using 3241 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software. 3242 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration 3243 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing. 3244 This affects the 'hash' command and also the 3245 hash_lookup_algo() function. 3246 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables 3247 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing. 3248 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing 3249 is performed in hardware. 3250 3251 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 3252 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 3253 3254- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 3255 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 3256 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 3257 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 3258 3259 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 3260 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 3261 a boot from specific media. 3262 3263 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 3264 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 3265 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 3266 will set it back to normal. This command currently 3267 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 3268 3269- Signing support: 3270 CONFIG_RSA 3271 3272 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 3273 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information. 3274 3275 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using 3276 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this 3277 library to function. 3278 3279 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 3280 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into 3281 mkimage irrespective of this option. 3282 3283- bootcount support: 3284 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 3285 3286 This enables the bootcounter support, see: 3287 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 3288 3289 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE 3290 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards. 3291 CONFIG_BLACKFIN 3292 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards. 3293 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX 3294 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards. 3295 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM 3296 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM 3297 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C 3298 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device. 3299 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address 3300 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for 3301 the bootcounter. 3302 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len 3303 3304- Show boot progress: 3305 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 3306 3307 Defining this option allows to add some board- 3308 specific code (calling a user-provided function 3309 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 3310 the system's boot progress on some display (for 3311 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 3312 the following checkpoints are implemented: 3313 3314- Detailed boot stage timing 3315 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 3316 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 3317 of the boot process. 3318 3319 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 3320 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 3321 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 3322 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 3323 the limit, recording will stop. 3324 3325 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 3326 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 3327 3328 Timer summary in microseconds: 3329 Mark Elapsed Stage 3330 0 0 reset 3331 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 3332 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 3333 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 3334 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 3335 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 3336 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 3337 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 3338 3339 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 3340 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 3341 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 3342 3343 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 3344 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 3345 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 3346 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 3347 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 3348 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 3349 For example: 3350 3351 bootstage { 3352 154 { 3353 name = "board_init_f"; 3354 mark = <3575678>; 3355 }; 3356 170 { 3357 name = "lcd"; 3358 accum = <33482>; 3359 }; 3360 }; 3361 3362 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 3363 3364Legacy uImage format: 3365 3366 Arg Where When 3367 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 3368 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

3518 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3519 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot. 3520 3521 Default: 3522 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined. 3523 3524 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY 3525 disable the legacy image format 3526 3527 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is 3528 enabled per default for backward compatibility. 3529 3530- FIT image support: 3531 CONFIG_FIT 3532 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 3533 3534 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 3535 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 3536 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 3537 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 3538 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 3539 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 3540 3541 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 3542 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 3543 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If 3544 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive 3545 hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it. 3546 See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 3547 3548 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required 3549 signature check the legacy image format is default 3550 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support 3551 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3552 3553 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256 3554 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size. 3555 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled 3556 with this option. 3557 3558- Standalone program support: 3559 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 3560 3561 This option defines a board specific value for the 3562 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 3563 overwriting the architecture dependent default 3564 settings. 3565 3566- Frame Buffer Address: 3567 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 3568 3569 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 3570 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 3571 when using a graphics controller has separate video 3572 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 3573 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 3574 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 3575 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 3576 configured panel size. 3577 3578 Please see board_init_f function. 3579 3580- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 3581 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 3582 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 3583 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 3584 3585 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 3586 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 3587 3588- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 3589 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 3590 3591 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 3592 Needed for mtdparts command support. 3593 3594 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 3595 3596 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 3597 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 3598 3599 CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE 3600 verify if the written data is correct reread. 3601 3602- UBI support 3603 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 3604 3605 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 3606 with the UBI flash translation layer 3607 3608 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 3609 3610 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3611 3612 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 3613 warnings and errors enabled. 3614 3615 3616 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD 3617 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest 3618 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks 3619 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing 3620 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase 3621 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. 3622 3623 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and 3624 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. 3625 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock 3626 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., 3627 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). 3628 3629 default: 4096 3630 3631 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT 3632 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI 3633 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the 3634 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR 3635 flash), this value is ignored. 3636 3637 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM 3638 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. 3639 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks 3640 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", 3641 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total 3642 count of eraseblocks on the chip). 3643 3644 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to 3645 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks 3646 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire 3647 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means 3648 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad 3649 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same 3650 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a 3651 partition. 3652 3653 default: 20 3654 3655 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP 3656 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device 3657 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it 3658 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. 3659 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach 3660 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where 3661 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install 3662 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter 3663 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note 3664 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations 3665 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap 3666 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. 3667 3668 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT 3669 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images 3670 without a fastmap. 3671 default: 0 3672 3673- UBIFS support 3674 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 3675 3676 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 3677 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 3678 3679 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 3680 3681 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3682 3683 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 3684 warnings and errors enabled. 3685 3686- SPL framework 3687 CONFIG_SPL 3688 Enable building of SPL globally. 3689 3690 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 3691 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 3692 3693 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 3694 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 3695 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 3696 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3697 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3698 must not be both defined at the same time. 3699 3700 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 3701 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 3702 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 3703 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 3704 not exceed it. 3705 3706 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 3707 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 3708 3709 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 3710 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 3711 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 3712 3713 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 3714 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 3715 3716 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3717 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 3718 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 3719 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3720 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3721 must not be both defined at the same time. 3722 3723 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 3724 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 3725 3726 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 3727 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 3728 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 3729 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 3730 3731 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 3732 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3733 3734 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 3735 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3736 3737 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 3738 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 3739 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 3740 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 3741 3742 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT 3743 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL. 3744 See also: doc/README.falcon 3745 3746 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 3747 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 3748 about the running system. 3749 3750 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 3751 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 3752 3753 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 3754 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 3755 3756 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 3757 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 3758 3759 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 3760 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 3761 3762 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 3763 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 3764 3765 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 3766 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 3767 3768 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3769 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3770 Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3771 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3772 3773 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION 3774 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being 3775 used in raw mode 3776 3777 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3778 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3779 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3780 3781 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3782 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3783 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3784 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3785 (for falcon mode) 3786 3787 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION 3788 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being 3789 used in fs mode 3790 3791 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3792 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3793 3794 CONFIG_SPL_EXT_SUPPORT 3795 Support for EXT filesystem in SPL binary 3796 3797 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3798 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem 3799 3800 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3801 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3802 from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 3803 3804 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3805 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3806 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 3807 3808 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3809 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3810 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3811 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3812 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3813 3814 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE 3815 Avoid SPL relocation 3816 3817 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3818 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3819 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3820 3821 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3822 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3823 3824 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3825 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3826 3827 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3828 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3829 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3830 3831 CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT 3832 Support for the MTD subsystem within SPL. Useful for 3833 environment on NAND support within SPL. 3834 3835 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY 3836 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only 3837 if you need to save space. 3838 3839 CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT 3840 Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for 3841 drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary. 3842 3843 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 3844 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 3845 SPL binary. 3846 3847 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3848 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3849 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3850 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3851 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3852 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3853 to read U-Boot 3854 3855 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT 3856 Add support NAND boot 3857 3858 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3859 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3860 3861 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3862 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3863 3864 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3865 Size of image to load 3866 3867 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3868 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3869 3870 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3871 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3872 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms. 3873 3874 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3875 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3876 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3877 3878 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3879 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3880 3881 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3882 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3883 3884 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3885 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3886 3887 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3888 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3889 3890 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3891 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3892 3893 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3894 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3895 3896 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3897 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3898 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3899 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3900 3901 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3902 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3903 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3904 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3905 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3906 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3907 3908 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3909 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3910 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3911 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3912 3913 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3914 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3915 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3916 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3917 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3918 3919- TPL framework 3920 CONFIG_TPL 3921 Enable building of TPL globally. 3922 3923 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 3924 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 3925 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3926 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3927 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3928 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3929 3930Modem Support: 3931-------------- 3932 3933[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3934 3935- Modem support enable: 3936 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3937 3938- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3939 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3940 3941- Modem debug support: 3942 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3943 3944 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3945 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3946 3947- Interrupt support (PPC): 3948 3949 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3950 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3951 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3952 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3953 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3954 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3955 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3956 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3957 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3958 general timer_interrupt(). 3959 3960- General: 3961 3962 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3963 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3964 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3965 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3966 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3967 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3968 initialization. 3969 3970 If there are no modem init strings in the 3971 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3972 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3973 suppressed, though. 3974 3975 See also: doc/README.Modem 3976 3977Board initialization settings: 3978------------------------------ 3979 3980During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3981to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3982before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3983following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3984architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3985typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3986 3987- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3988- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3989- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3990- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3991 3992Configuration Settings: 3993----------------------- 3994 3995- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit. 3996 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands. 3997 3998- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3999 undefine this when you're short of memory. 4000 4001- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 4002 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 4003 4004- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 4005 prompt for user input. 4006 4007- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 4008 4009- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 4010 4011- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 4012 4013- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 4014 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 4015 booted 4016 4017- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 4018 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 4019 4020- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 4021 Suppress display of console information at boot. 4022 4023- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 4024 If the board specific function 4025 extern int overwrite_console (void); 4026 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 4027 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 4028 4029- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 4030 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 4031 4032- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 4033 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 4034 4035- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 4036 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 4037 simple memory test. 4038 4039- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 4040 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 4041 4042- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 4043 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 4044 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 4045 4046- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 4047 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 4048 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 4049 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 4050 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 4051 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 4052 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 4053 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 4054 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 4055 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 4056 4057 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 4058 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 4059 be touched. 4060 4061 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 4062 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 4063 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 4064 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 4065 problems. 4066 4067- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 4068 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 4069 4070- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 4071 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 4072 4073- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 4074 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 4075 Cogent motherboard) 4076 4077- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 4078 Physical start address of Flash memory. 4079 4080- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 4081 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 4082 make config files to be same as the text base address 4083 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 4084 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 4085 4086- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 4087 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 4088 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 4089 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 4090 flash sector. 4091 4092- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 4093 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 4094 4095- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN 4096 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If 4097 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation 4098 will become available before relocation. The address is just 4099 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make 4100 space. 4101 4102 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses 4103 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc() 4104 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing. 4105 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when 4106 U-Boot relocates itself. 4107 4108 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox 4109 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs. 4110 4111- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE 4112 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those 4113 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is 4114 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START). 4115 4116- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY: 4117 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be 4118 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped 4119 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would 4120 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For 4121 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the 4122 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed 4123 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding 4124 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e. 4125 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the 4126 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of 4127 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has 4128 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can 4129 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for 4130 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g. 4131 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes). 4132 4133 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present. 4134 4135- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 4136 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 4137 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 4138 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 4139 to adjust this setting to your needs. 4140 4141- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 4142 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 4143 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 4144 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 4145 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 4146 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 4147 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 4148 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 4149 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 4150 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 4151 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 4152 4153- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 4154 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 4155 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 4156 is enabled. 4157 4158- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 4159 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 4160 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 4161 4162- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 4163 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 4164 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 4165 4166- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 4167 Max number of Flash memory banks 4168 4169- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 4170 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 4171 4172- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 4173 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 4174 4175- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 4176 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 4177 4178- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 4179 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 4180 4181- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 4182 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 4183 4184- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 4185 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 4186 instead of U-Boot software protection. 4187 4188- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 4189 4190 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 4191 without this option such a download has to be 4192 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 4193 copy from RAM to flash. 4194 4195 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 4196 you can check if the download worked before you erase 4197 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 4198 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 4199 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 4200 4201- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 4202 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 4203 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 4204 4205- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 4206 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 4207 in the drivers directory 4208 4209- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 4210 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 4211 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 4212 to the MTD layer. 4213 4214- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 4215 Use buffered writes to flash. 4216 4217- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 4218 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 4219 write commands. 4220 4221- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 4222 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 4223 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 4224 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 4225 optionally available. 4226 4227- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 4228 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 4229 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 4230 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 4231 4232- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 4233 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 4234 against the source after the write operation. An error message 4235 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 4236 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 4237 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 4238 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 4239 this option if you really know what you are doing. 4240 4241- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 4242 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 4243 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 4244 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 4245 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 4246 on high Ethernet traffic. 4247 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 4248 4249- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 4250 4251 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 4252 internally to store the environment settings. The default 4253 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 4254 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 4255 lib/hashtable.c for details. 4256 4257- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 4258- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 4259 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 4260 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 4261 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 4262 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 4263 4264 The format of the list is: 4265 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 4266 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c] 4267 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute] 4268 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 4269 list = entry[,list] 4270 4271 The type attributes are: 4272 s - String (default) 4273 d - Decimal 4274 x - Hexadecimal 4275 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 4276 i - IP address 4277 m - MAC address 4278 4279 The access attributes are: 4280 a - Any (default) 4281 r - Read-only 4282 o - Write-once 4283 c - Change-default 4284 4285 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 4286 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 4287 environment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4288 4289 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 4290 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 4291 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 4292 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 4293 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 4294 ".flags" variable. 4295 4296- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 4297 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 4298 access flags. 4299 4300- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 4301 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 4302 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 4303 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 4304 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 4305 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 4306 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 4307 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 4308 your board please report the problem and send patches! 4309 4310- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 4311 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 4312 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 4313 the value can be calculated on a given board. 4314 4315- CONFIG_USE_STDINT 4316 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this 4317 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when 4318 building U-Boot to enable this. 4319 4320The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 4321of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 4322following configurations: 4323 4324- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 4325 4326 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 4327 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 4328 4329- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 4330 4331 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 4332 4333 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 4334 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 4335 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 4336 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 4337 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 4338 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 4339 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 4340 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 4341 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 4342 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 4343 between U-Boot and the environment. 4344 4345 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4346 4347 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 4348 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 4349 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 4350 for this sector is given here. 4351 4352 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 4353 4354 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4355 4356 This is just another way to specify the start address of 4357 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 4358 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 4359 4360 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4361 4362 Size of the sector containing the environment. 4363 4364 4365 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 4366 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 4367 the environment. 4368 4369 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4370 4371 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 4372 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 4373 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 4374 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 4375 4376 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 4377 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 4378 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 4379 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 4380 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 4381 updating the environment in flash makes it always 4382 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 4383 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 4384 RAM, your target system will be dead. 4385 4386 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 4387 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 4388 4389 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 4390 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 4391 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 4392 a "saveenv" operation. 4393 4394BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 4395source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 4396accordingly! 4397 4398 4399- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 4400 4401 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 4402 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 4403 environment. 4404 4405 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4406 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4407 4408 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 4409 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 4410 can just be read and written to, without any special 4411 provision. 4412 4413BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 4414in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the 4415console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 4416U-Boot will hang. 4417 4418Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 4419environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 4420keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 4421to save the current settings. 4422 4423 4424- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 4425 4426 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 4427 device and a driver for it. 4428 4429 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4430 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4431 4432 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4433 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 4434 4435 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 4436 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 4437 The default address is zero. 4438 4439 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS: 4440 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device. 4441 4442 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 4443 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 4444 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 4445 would require six bits. 4446 4447 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 4448 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 4449 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 4450 4451 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 4452 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 4453 that this is NOT the chip address length! 4454 4455 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 4456 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 4457 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 4458 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 4459 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 4460 byte chips. 4461 4462 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 4463 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 4464 in the chip address. 4465 4466 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 4467 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 4468 4469 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 4470 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 4471 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 4472 4473 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 4474 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 4475 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 4476 EEPROM. For example: 4477 4478 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 4479 4480 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 4481 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 4482 4483- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 4484 4485 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 4486 want to use for the environment. 4487 4488 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4489 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4490 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4491 4492 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 4493 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 4494 at the specified address. 4495 4496- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH: 4497 4498 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you 4499 want to use for the environment. 4500 4501 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4502 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4503 4504 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4505 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4506 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4507 4508 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4509 4510 Define the SPI flash's sector size. 4511 4512 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4513 4514 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4515 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4516 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4517 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4518 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4519 4520 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional): 4521 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional): 4522 4523 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0. 4524 4525 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional): 4526 4527 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz. 4528 4529 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional): 4530 4531 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3. 4532 4533- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 4534 4535 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 4536 want to use for the local device's environment. 4537 4538 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4539 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4540 4541 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 4542 environment area within the remote memory space. The 4543 local device can get the environment from remote memory 4544 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 4545 4546BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 4547"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 4548environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 4549but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 4550 4551- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 4552 4553 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 4554 for the environment. 4555 4556 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4557 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4558 4559 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4560 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4561 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4562 4563 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4564 4565 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4566 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4567 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4568 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4569 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4570 4571 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 4572 4573 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 4574 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 4575 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 4576 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 4577 the range to be avoided. 4578 4579 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 4580 4581 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 4582 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 4583 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 4584 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 4585 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 4586 4587- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 4588 4589 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 4590 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 4591 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4592 4593- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 4594 4595 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 4596 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 4597 accesses, which is important on NAND. 4598 4599 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 4600 4601 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 4602 4603 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 4604 4605 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 4606 environment in. 4607 4608 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 4609 4610 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 4611 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 4612 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 4613 4614 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 4615 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 4616 4617 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 4618 when storing the env in UBI. 4619 4620- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT: 4621 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment. 4622 4623 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE: 4624 4625 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device. 4626 4627 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART: 4628 4629 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can 4630 be as following: 4631 4632 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1) 4633 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no 4634 partition table. 4635 - "D:0": device D. 4636 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition 4637 table, or the whole device D if has no partition 4638 table. 4639 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set. 4640 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no 4641 partition table then means device D. 4642 4643 - FAT_ENV_FILE: 4644 4645 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the 4646 environment. 4647 4648 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE: 4649 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file. 4650 4651- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 4652 4653 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 4654 environment. 4655 4656 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 4657 4658 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 4659 4660 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 4661 4662 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 4663 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 4664 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 4665 4666 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4667 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4668 4669 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4670 area within the specified MMC device. 4671 4672 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 4673 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 4674 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 4675 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 4676 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 4677 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 4678 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 4679 4680 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 4681 MMC sector boundary. 4682 4683 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4684 4685 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 4686 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 4687 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 4688 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 4689 4690 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 4691 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 4692 4693 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 4694 an MMC sector boundary. 4695 4696 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 4697 4698 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 4699 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 4700 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4701 4702- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 4703 4704 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 4705 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 4706 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 4707 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 4708 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 4709 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 4710 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 4711 4712Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 4713has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 4714created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 4715until then to read environment variables. 4716 4717The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 4718is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 4719with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 4720necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 4721"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 4722have any device yet where we could complain.] 4723 4724Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 4725the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 4726use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 4727 4728- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 4729 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 4730 4731 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 4732 also needs to be defined. 4733 4734- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 4735 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 4736 4737- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 4738 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 4739 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 4740 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 4741 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 4742 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 4743 4744- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 4745 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 4746 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 4747 to do this. 4748 4749- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 4750 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 4751 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 4752 present. 4753 4754- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT: 4755 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the 4756 build system checks that the actual size does not 4757 exceed it. 4758 4759Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 4760--------------------------------------------------- 4761 4762- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 4763 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 4764 4765- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 4766 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 4767 4768 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 4769 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 4770 the IMMR register after a reset. 4771 4772- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 4773 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 4774 PowerPC SOCs. 4775 4776- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 4777 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 4778 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 4779 4780 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 4781 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 4782 4783- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 4784 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 4785 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 4786 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 4787 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 4788 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 4789 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 4790 4791 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 4792 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 4793 4794- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 4795 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 4796 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 4797 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4798 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4799 4800- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 4801 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 4802 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4803 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4804 4805- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 4806 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 4807 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 4808 4809- Floppy Disk Support: 4810 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 4811 4812 the default drive number (default value 0) 4813 4814 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 4815 4816 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 4817 (default value 1) 4818 4819 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 4820 4821 defines the offset of register from address. It 4822 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 4823 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 4824 4825 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 4826 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 4827 default value. 4828 4829 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 4830 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 4831 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 4832 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent 4833 initializations. 4834 4835- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 4836 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 4837 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 4838 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 4839 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 4840 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 4841 is required. 4842 4843- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 4844 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 4845 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 4846 4847- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 4848 4849 Start address of memory area that can be used for 4850 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 4851 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 4852 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 4853 will become available only after programming the 4854 memory controller and running certain initialization 4855 sequences. 4856 4857 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 4858 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 4859 - MPC824X: data cache 4860 - PPC4xx: data cache 4861 4862- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 4863 4864 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 4865 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 4866 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 4867 data is located at the end of the available space 4868 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 4869 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 4870 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 4871 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 4872 4873 Note: 4874 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 4875 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 4876 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 4877 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 4878 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 4879 4880- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 4881 4882- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 4883 4884- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 4885 4886- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 4887 4888- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 4889 4890- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 4891 4892- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 4893 SDRAM timing 4894 4895- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 4896 periodic timer for refresh 4897 4898- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 4899 4900- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 4901 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 4902 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 4903 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 4904 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 4905 4906- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 4907 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 4908 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 4909 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 4910 4911- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 4912 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 4913 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 4914 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 4915 4916- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4917 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4918 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 4919 4920- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4921 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4922 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 4923 4924- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4925 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4926 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 4927 4928- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4929 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 4930 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 4931 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 4932 4933- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 4934 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 4935 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 4936 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 4937 cpm_8260.h. 4938 4939- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4940 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 4941 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 4942 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4943 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 4944 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 4945 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 4946 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 4947 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 4948 4949- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 4950 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 4951 required. 4952 4953- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 4954 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses. 4955 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 4956 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 4957 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4958 by coreboot or similar. 4959 4960- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4961 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4962 4963- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4964 Chip has SRIO or not 4965 4966- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4967 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4968 4969- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4970 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4971 4972- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4973 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4974 4975- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4976 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4977 4978- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4979 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4980 4981- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4982 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4983 4984- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4985 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4986 a 16 bit bus. 4987 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4988 Example of drivers that use it: 4989 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4990 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4991 4992- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4993 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4994 a default value will be used. 4995 4996- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4997 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4998 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4999 5000 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 5001 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 5002 5003- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 5004 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 5005 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 5006 to something your driver can deal with. 5007 5008- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 5009 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 5010 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 5011 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 5012 header files or board specific files. 5013 5014- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 5015 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 5016 5017- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH 5018 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers. 5019 5020- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 5021 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 5022 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 5023 5024- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 5025 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 5026 5027- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 5028 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 5029 to the given FEC; i. e. 5030 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 5031 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 5032 5033 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 5034 5035- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 5036 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 5037 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 5038 5039- CONFIG_RMII 5040 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 5041 Note that this is a global option, we can't 5042 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 5043 5044- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 5045 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 5046 The syntax is: 5047 5048 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 5049 5050 Where address/count indicate a memory area 5051 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 5052 area should have. 5053 5054- CONFIG_LOOPW 5055 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 5056 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 5057 5058- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 5059 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 5060 "md/mw" commands. 5061 Examples: 5062 5063 => mdc.b 10 4 500 5064 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 5065 5066 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 5067 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 5068 5069 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 5070 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 5071 5072- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 5073 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 5074 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 5075 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 5076 relocate itself into RAM. 5077 5078 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 5079 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 5080 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 5081 these initializations itself. 5082 5083- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 5084 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 5085 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 5086 compiling a NAND SPL. 5087 5088- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 5089 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 5090 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 5091 It is loaded by the SPL. 5092 5093- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 5094 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 5095 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 5096 previous 4k of the .text section. 5097 5098- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 5099 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 5100 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 5101 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 5102 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 5103 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 5104 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 5105 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 5106 5107- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 5108 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 5109 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 5110 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 5111 conditions but may increase the binary size. 5112 5113- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 5114 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 5115 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 5116 5117- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 5118 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 5119 5120 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 5121 5122- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC: 5123 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms 5124 5125- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE 5126 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver 5127 driver that uses this: 5128 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c 5129 5130Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 5131----------------------------------- 5132 5133The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 5134loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 5135This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 5136are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 5137within that device. 5138 5139- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR 5140 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The 5141 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 5142 is also specified. 5143 5144- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR 5145 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The 5146 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 5147 is also specified. 5148 5149- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 5150 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 5151 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 5152 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 5153 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 5154 5155- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 5156 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 5157 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 5158 virtual address in NOR flash. 5159 5160- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 5161 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 5162 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 5163 5164- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 5165 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 5166 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 5167 5168- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 5169 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 5170 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 5171 5172- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 5173 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 5174 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 5175 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 5176 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 5177 master's memory space. 5178 5179Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support: 5180--------------------------------------------------------- 5181The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of 5182"firmware". 5183This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 5184are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 5185within that device. 5186 5187- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET 5188 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs. 5189 5190- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR 5191 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 5192 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro 5193 is also specified. 5194 5195- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH 5196 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 5197 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 5198 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 5199 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 5200 5201- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR 5202 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 5203 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the 5204 virtual address in NOR flash. 5205 5206Building the Software: 5207====================== 5208 5209Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 5210and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 5211all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 5212(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 5213recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 5214which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 5215 5216If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 5217have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 5218you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 5219Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 5220necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 5221 5222 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 5223 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 5224 5225Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 5226 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 5227 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 5228 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 5229 5230 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 5231 5232 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 5233 be executed on computers running Windows. 5234 5235U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 5236sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 5237is done by typing: 5238 5239 make NAME_defconfig 5240 5241where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu- 5242rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 5243 5244Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 5245 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 5246 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 5247 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 5248 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 5249 5250 make TQM823L_defconfig 5251 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 5252 5253 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig 5254 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 5255 5256 etc. 5257 5258 5259Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 5260images ready for download to / installation on your system: 5261 5262- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 5263- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 5264- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 5265 5266By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 5267in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 5268this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 5269 52701. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 5271 5272 make O=/tmp/build distclean 5273 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig 5274 make O=/tmp/build all 5275 52762. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location: 5277 5278 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build 5279 make distclean 5280 make NAME_defconfig 5281 make all 5282 5283Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment 5284variable. 5285 5286 5287Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 5288for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 5289native "make". 5290 5291 5292If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 5293to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 5294steps: 5295 52961. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 5297 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 5298 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 52992. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 5300 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 5301 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 53023. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 5303 your board 53043. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 5305 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 53064. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. 53075. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 5308 to be installed on your target system. 53096. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 5310 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 5311 5312 5313Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 5314============================================================== 5315 5316If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 5317or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 5318provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 5319the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 5320official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 5321 5322But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 5323cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 5324the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 5325just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 5326for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 5327select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 5328environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 5329you can type 5330 5331 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5332 5333or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 5334 5335 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 5336 5337When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 5338U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 5339setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 5340built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 5341<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 5342location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 5343variable. For example: 5344 5345 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 5346 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 5347 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5348 5349With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 5350log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 5351during the whole build process. 5352 5353 5354See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 5355 5356 5357Monitor Commands - Overview: 5358============================ 5359 5360go - start application at address 'addr' 5361run - run commands in an environment variable 5362bootm - boot application image from memory 5363bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 5364bootz - boot zImage from memory 5365tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 5366 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 5367 (and eventually "gatewayip") 5368tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 5369rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 5370diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 5371loads - load S-Record file over serial line 5372loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 5373md - memory display 5374mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 5375nm - memory modify (constant address) 5376mw - memory write (fill) 5377cp - memory copy 5378cmp - memory compare 5379crc32 - checksum calculation 5380i2c - I2C sub-system 5381sspi - SPI utility commands 5382base - print or set address offset 5383printenv- print environment variables 5384setenv - set environment variables 5385saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 5386protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 5387erase - erase FLASH memory 5388flinfo - print FLASH memory information 5389nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 5390bdinfo - print Board Info structure 5391iminfo - print header information for application image 5392coninfo - print console devices and informations 5393ide - IDE sub-system 5394loop - infinite loop on address range 5395loopw - infinite write loop on address range 5396mtest - simple RAM test 5397icache - enable or disable instruction cache 5398dcache - enable or disable data cache 5399reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 5400echo - echo args to console 5401version - print monitor version 5402help - print online help 5403? - alias for 'help' 5404 5405 5406Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 5407======================================== 5408 5409TODO. 5410 5411For now: just type "help <command>". 5412 5413 5414Environment Variables: 5415====================== 5416 5417U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 5418can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 5419 5420Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 5421"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 5422without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 5423environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 5424working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 5425environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 5426 5427Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 5428 5429List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 5430 5431 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 5432 5433 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 5434 5435 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 5436 5437 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 5438 5439 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 5440 5441 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5442 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5443 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 5444 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 5445 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 5446 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 5447 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 5448 bootm_mapsize. 5449 5450 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 5451 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 5452 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 5453 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 5454 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 5455 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 5456 used otherwise. 5457 5458 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5459 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5460 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 5461 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 5462 environment variable. 5463 5464 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 5465 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 5466 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 5467 5468 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 5469 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 5470 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 5471 load any image using TFTP 5472 5473 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 5474 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 5475 be automatically started (by internally calling 5476 "bootm") 5477 5478 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 5479 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 5480 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 5481 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 5482 data. 5483 5484 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 5485 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 5486 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 5487 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 5488 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 5489 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 5490 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 5491 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 5492 access it during the boot procedure. 5493 5494 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 5495 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 5496 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 5497 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 5498 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 5499 must be accessible by the kernel. 5500 5501 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 5502 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 5503 defined. 5504 5505 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 5506 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 5507 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 5508 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 5509 it must be saved and board must be reset. 5510 5511 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 5512 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 5513 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 5514 is usually what you want since it allows for 5515 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 5516 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 5517 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 5518 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 5519 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 5520 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 5521 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 5522 5523 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 5524 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 5525 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 5526 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 5527 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 5528 12 MB as well - this can be done with 5529 5530 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 5531 5532 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 5533 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 5534 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 5535 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 5536 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 5537 boot time on your system, but requires that this 5538 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 5539 5540 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5541 5542 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 5543 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 5544 5545 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 5546 5547 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5548 5549 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 5550 5551 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 5552 5553 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 5554 5555 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 5556 5557 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 5558 For example you can do the following 5559 5560 => setenv ethact FEC 5561 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 5562 => setenv ethact SCC 5563 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 5564 5565 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 5566 available network interfaces. 5567 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 5568 5569 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 5570 either succeed or fail without retrying. 5571 When set to "once" the network operation will 5572 fail when all the available network interfaces 5573 are tried once without success. 5574 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 5575 themselves. 5576 5577 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 5578 5579 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by 5580 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 5581 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 5582 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 5583 is silent. 5584 5585 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 5586 UDP source port. 5587 5588 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 5589 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 5590 5591 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 5592 we use the TFTP server's default block size 5593 5594 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 5595 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 5596 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 5597 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 5598 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 5599 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 5600 with unreliable TFTP servers. 5601 5602 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 5603 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 5604 VLAN tagged frames. 5605 5606The following image location variables contain the location of images 5607used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 5608not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 5609variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 5610server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 5611loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 5612flash or offset in NAND flash. 5613 5614*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 5615boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 5616boards use these variables for other purposes. 5617 5618Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 5619----- --------- ----------- -------------- 5620u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 5621Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 5622device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 5623ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 5624 5625The following environment variables may be used and automatically 5626updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 5627depending the information provided by your boot server: 5628 5629 bootfile - see above 5630 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 5631 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 5632 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 5633 hostname - Target hostname 5634 ipaddr - see above 5635 netmask - Subnet Mask 5636 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 5637 serverip - see above 5638 5639 5640There are two special Environment Variables: 5641 5642 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 5643 as type string and/or serial number 5644 ethaddr - Ethernet address 5645 5646These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 5647the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 5648once they have been set once. 5649 5650 5651Further special Environment Variables: 5652 5653 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 5654 with the "version" command. This variable is 5655 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 5656 5657 5658Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 5659only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 5660 5661 5662Callback functions for environment variables: 5663--------------------------------------------- 5664 5665For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 5666when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to 5667be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 5668deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 5669effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 5670 5671The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 5672U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 5673 5674These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 5675static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 5676in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 5677associations. The list must be in the following format: 5678 5679 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 5680 list = entry[,list] 5681 5682If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 5683Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 5684 5685Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 5686with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 5687override any association in the static list. You can define 5688CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 5689".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment. 5690 5691 5692Command Line Parsing: 5693===================== 5694 5695There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 5696the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 5697 5698Old, simple command line parser: 5699-------------------------------- 5700 5701- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 5702- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 5703- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 5704- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 5705 for example: 5706 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 5707- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 5708 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 5709 5710Hush shell: 5711----------- 5712 5713- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 5714 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 5715 until...do...done, ... 5716- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 5717 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 5718 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 5719 command 5720 5721General rules: 5722-------------- 5723 5724(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 5725 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 5726 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 5727 executed anyway. 5728 5729(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 5730 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 5731 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 5732 variables are not executed. 5733 5734Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 5735======================================= 5736 5737Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 5738such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 5739"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 5740 5741Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 5742MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 5743"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 5744 5745If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 5746in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 5747ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 5748variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 5749 5750o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 5751 environment, the SROM's address is used. 5752 5753o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 5754 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 5755 used. 5756 5757o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 5758 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 5759 5760o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 5761 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 5762 warning is printed. 5763 5764o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 5765 is raised. 5766 5767If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 5768will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 5769may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 5770The naming convention is as follows: 5771"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 5772 5773Image Formats: 5774============== 5775 5776U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 5777images in two formats: 5778 5779New uImage format (FIT) 5780----------------------- 5781 5782Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 5783to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 5784components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 5785SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 5786 5787 5788Old uImage format 5789----------------- 5790 5791Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 5792preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 5793details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 5794 5795* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 5796 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 5797 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 5798 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 5799 INTEGRITY). 5800* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 5801 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 5802 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 5803* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 5804* Load Address 5805* Entry Point 5806* Image Name 5807* Image Timestamp 5808 5809The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 5810and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 5811CRC32 checksums. 5812 5813 5814Linux Support: 5815============== 5816 5817Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 5818easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 5819U-Boot. 5820 5821U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 5822special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 5823"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 5824instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 5825serves several purposes: 5826 5827- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 5828 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 5829 Flash memory footprint) 5830 5831- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 5832 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 5833 5834- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 5835 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 5836 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 5837 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 5838 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 5839 software is easier now. 5840 5841 5842Linux HOWTO: 5843============ 5844 5845Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 5846--------------------------------------- 5847 5848U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 5849configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 5850(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 5851Linux :-). 5852 5853But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 5854 5855Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 5856include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 5857Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 5858and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 5859as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 5860 5861Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. 5862If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there 5863is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See 5864doc/driver-model. 5865 5866 5867Configuring the Linux kernel: 5868----------------------------- 5869 5870No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 5871device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 5872 5873 5874Building a Linux Image: 5875----------------------- 5876 5877With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 5878not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 5879"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 5880U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 5881which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 5882100% compatible format. 5883 5884Example: 5885 5886 make TQM850L_defconfig 5887 make oldconfig 5888 make dep 5889 make uImage 5890 5891The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 5892encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 5893CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 5894 5895* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 5896 5897* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 5898 5899 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 5900 -R .note -R .comment \ 5901 -S vmlinux linux.bin 5902 5903* compress the binary image: 5904 5905 gzip -9 linux.bin 5906 5907* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 5908 5909 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 5910 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 5911 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 5912 5913 5914The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 5915with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 5916combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 5917byte header containing information about target architecture, 5918operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 5919stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 5920 5921"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 5922print the header information, or to build new images. 5923 5924In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 5925contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 5926checksum verification: 5927 5928 tools/mkimage -l image 5929 -l ==> list image header information 5930 5931The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 5932from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 5933 5934 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 5935 -n name -d data_file image 5936 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 5937 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 5938 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5939 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 5940 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 5941 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 5942 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 5943 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 5944 5945Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 5946address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 5947kernel version: 5948 5949- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 5950- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 5951 5952So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 5953 5954 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5955 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 5956 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 5957 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 5958 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5959 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5960 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5961 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5962 Load Address: 0x00000000 5963 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5964 5965To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 5966 5967 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 5968 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5969 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5970 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5971 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5972 Load Address: 0x00000000 5973 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5974 5975NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 5976speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 5977needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 5978need to be uncompressed: 5979 5980 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 5981 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5982 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 5983 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 5984 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 5985 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5986 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5987 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5988 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5989 Load Address: 0x00000000 5990 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5991 5992 5993Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5994when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5995 5996 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5997 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5998 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5999 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 6000 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 6001 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 6002 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 6003 Load Address: 0x00000000 6004 Entry Point: 0x00000000 6005 6006The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i" 6007option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d" 6008option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file" 6009from the image: 6010 6011 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file 6012 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file' 6013 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 6014 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image' 6015 6016 6017Installing a Linux Image: 6018------------------------- 6019 6020To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 6021you must convert the image to S-Record format: 6022 6023 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 6024 6025The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 6026image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 6027address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to 6028specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads' 6029command. 6030 6031Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the 6032TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank): 6033 6034 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF 6035 6036 .......... done 6037 Erased 8 sectors 6038 6039 => loads 40100000 6040 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6041 ~>examples/image.srec 6042 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ... 6043 ... 6044 15989 15990 15991 15992 6045 [file transfer complete] 6046 [connected] 6047 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000 6048 6049 6050You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command; 6051this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data 6052corruption happened: 6053 6054 => imi 40100000 6055 6056 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ... 6057 Image Name: 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L 6058 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 6059 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB 6060 Load Address: 00000000 6061 Entry Point: 0000000c 6062 Verifying Checksum ...

Usually these programs 6208 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 6209 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 6210 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 6211 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 6212 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 6213 being started. 6214 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 6215 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 6216 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 6217 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 6218 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 6219 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 6220 6221 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 6222 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 6223 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 6224 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 6225 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 6226 a multiple of 4 bytes). 6227 6228 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 6229 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 6230 flash memory. 6231 6232 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 6233 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 6234 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 6235 as command interpreter. 6236 6237Booting the Linux zImage: 6238------------------------- 6239 6240On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 6241using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 6242as the syntax of "bootm" command. 6243 6244Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 6245kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 6246address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 6247format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 6248 6249 6250Standalone HOWTO: 6251================= 6252 6253One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 6254run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 6255U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 6256 6257Two simple examples are included with the sources: 6258 6259"Hello World" Demo: 6260------------------- 6261 6262'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 6263application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 6264It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 6265like that: 6266 6267 => loads 6268 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6269 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 6270 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6271 [file transfer complete] 6272 [connected] 6273 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6274 6275 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 6296controlled by the following keys: 6297 6298 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 6299 b - enable interrupts and start timer 6300 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 6301 q - quit application 6302 6303 => loads 6304 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6305 ~>examples/timer.srec 6306 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6307 [file transfer complete] 6308 [connected] 6309 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6310 6311 => go 40004 6312 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 6313 TIMERS=0xfff00980 6314 Using timer 1 6315 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 6316 6317Hit 'b': 6318 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 6319 Enabling timer 6320Hit '?': 6321 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 6322 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 6323Hit '?': 6324 [q, b, e, ?] . 6325 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 6326Hit '?': 6327 [q, b, e, ?] . 6328 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 6329Hit '?': 6330 [q, b, e, ?] . 6331 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 6332Hit 'e': 6333 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 6334Hit 'q': 6335 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 6336 6337 6338Minicom warning: 6339================ 6340 6341Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 6342"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 6343consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 6344Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 6345especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 6346use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 6347http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 6348for help with kermit. 6349 6350 6351Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 6352configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 6353 6354 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 6371 6372 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 6373 # mkdir powerpc 6374 # ln -s powerpc machine 6375 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 6376 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 6377 6378Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 6379and U-Boot include files. 6380 6381Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 6382stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 6383proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 6384tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 6385meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 6386 6387 6388Implementation Internals: 6389========================= 6390 6391The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 6392implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 6393inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 6394hardware. 6395 6396 6397Initial Stack, Global Data: 6398--------------------------- 6399 6400The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 6401starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 6402system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 6403This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 6404is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 6405at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 6406options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 6407models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 6408MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 6409locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 6410 6411 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 6412 U-Boot mailing list: 6413 6414 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 6415 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 6416 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 6417 ... 6418 6419 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 6420 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 6421 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 6422 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 6423 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 6424 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 6425 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 6426 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 6427 6428 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 6429 is another option for the system designer to use as an 6430 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 6431 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 6432 board designers haven't used it for something that would 6433 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 6434 used. 6435 6436 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 6437 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 6438 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 6439 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 6440 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 6441 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 6442 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 6443 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 6444 you get the config right. 6445 6446 -Chris Hallinan 6447 DS4.COM, Inc. 6448 6449It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 6450code for the initialization procedures: 6451 6452* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 6453 to write it. 6454 6455* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized 6456 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 6457 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 6458 6459* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 6460 that. 6461 6462Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 6463normal global data to share information between the code. But it 6464turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 6465simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 6466functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 6467functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 6468the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 6469place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 6470reserve for this purpose. 6471 6472When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 6473relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 6474GCC's implementation. 6475 6476For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 6477 R1: stack pointer 6478 R2: reserved for system use 6479 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 6480 R5-R10: parameter passing 6481 R13: small data area pointer 6482 R30: GOT pointer 6483 R31: frame pointer 6484 6485 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 6486 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 6487 going back and forth between asm and C) 6488 6489 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 6490 6491 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 6492 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 6493 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 6494 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 6495 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 6496 624 text + 127 data). 6497 6498On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 6499 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 6500 6501 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 6502 6503On ARM, the following registers are used: 6504 6505 R0: function argument word/integer result 6506 R1-R3: function argument word 6507 R9: platform specific 6508 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 6509 R11: argument (frame) pointer 6510 R12: temporary workspace 6511 R13: stack pointer 6512 R14: link register 6513 R15: program counter 6514 6515 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 6516 6517 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 6518 6519On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 6520 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 6521 6522 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 6523 6524 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 6525 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 6526 6527On NDS32, the following registers are used: 6528 6529 R0-R1: argument/return 6530 R2-R5: argument 6531 R15: temporary register for assembler 6532 R16: trampoline register 6533 R28: frame pointer (FP) 6534 R29: global pointer (GP) 6535 R30: link register (LP) 6536 R31: stack pointer (SP) 6537 PC: program counter (PC) 6538 6539 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 6540 6541NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 6542or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 6543 6544Memory Management: 6545------------------ 6546 6547U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 6548MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 6549 6550The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 6551controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 6552memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 6553physical memory banks. 6554 6555U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 6556TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 6557booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 6558to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 6559memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 6560configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 6561Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 6562 6563Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 6564of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 6565 6566So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 6567this: 6568 6569 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 6570 : 6571 0x0000 1FFF 6572 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 6573 : 6574 : 6575 6576 : 6577 : 6578 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 6579 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 6580 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 6581 : 6582 0x00FD FFFF 6583 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 6584 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 6585 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 6586 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 6587 6588 6589System Initialization: 6590---------------------- 6591 6592In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 6593(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 6594configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory. 6595To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 6596To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 6597initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 6598which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 6599part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 6600the caches and the SIU. 6601 6602Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 6603preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 6604(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 6605on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 6606programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 6607simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 6608banks. 6609 6610When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 6611different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 6612bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 66130x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 6614contiguous memory starting from 0. 6615 6616Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 6617and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 6618Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 6619pages, and the final stack is set up. 6620 6621Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 6622until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 6623running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 6624new address in RAM. 6625 6626 6627U-Boot Porting Guide: 6628---------------------- 6629 6630[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 6631list, October 2002] 6632 6633 6634int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 6635{ 6636 sighandler_t no_more_time; 6637 6638 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 6639 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 6640 6641 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 6642 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 6643 return 0; 6644 } 6645 6646 Download latest U-Boot source; 6647 6648 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 6649 6650 if (clueless) 6651 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 6652 6653 while (learning) { 6654 Read the README file in the top level directory; 6655 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 6656 Read applicable doc/*.README; 6657 Read the source, Luke; 6658 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 6659 } 6660 6661 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 6662 Buy a BDI3000; 6663 else 6664 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 6665 6666 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 6667 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 6668 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 6669 } else { 6670 Create your own board support subdirectory; 6671 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 6672 } 6673 Edit new board/<myboard> files 6674 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 6675 6676 while (!accepted) { 6677 while (!running) { 6678 do { 6679 Add / modify source code; 6680 } until (compiles); 6681 Debug; 6682 if (clueless) 6683 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 6684 } 6685 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 6686 if (reasonable critiques) 6687 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 6688 else 6689 Defend code as written; 6690 } 6691 6692 return 0; 6693} 6694 6695void no_more_time (int sig) 6696{ 6697 hire_a_guru(); 6698} 6699 6700 6701Coding Standards: 6702----------------- 6703 6704All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 6705coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 6706"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 6707 6708Source files originating from a different project (for example the 6709MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 6710reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 6711sources. 6712 6713Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 6714Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 6715in your code. 6716 6717Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 6718- remove any trailing white space 6719- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 6720- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 6721- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 6722- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 6723 6724Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 6725with a request to reformat the changes. 6726 6727 6728Submitting Patches: 6729------------------- 6730 6731Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 6732establish some rules.

If you are using git (which is *strongly* 6761 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 6762 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 6763 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 6764 with some other mail clients. 6765 6766 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 6767 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 6768 GNU diff. 6769 6770 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 6771 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 6772 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 6773 affected files). 6774 6775 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 6776 and compressed attachments must not be used. 6777 6778* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 6779 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 6780 6781* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 6782 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 6783 6784 6785Notes: 6786 6787* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 6788 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 6789 for any of the boards. 6790 6791* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 6792 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 6793 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 6794 6795* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 6796 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 6797 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 6798 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 6799 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 6800 modification. 6801 6802* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 6803 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 6804 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 6805 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 6806
