For instance, all monitor commands are 40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to 41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used 42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can 43load and run it dynamically. 44 45 46Status: 47======= 48 49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the 50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered 51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. 52 53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out 54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board 55maintainers. 56 57Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree; 58it can be created dynamically from the Git log using: 59 60 make CHANGELOG 61 62 63Where to get help: 64================== 65 66In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 67U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 68<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

Regular releases are identified by 137names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 138Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 139releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 140 141Examples: 142 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 143 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 144 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 145 146 147Directory Hierarchy: 148==================== 149 150/arch Architecture specific files 151 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 152 /cpu CPU specific files 153 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 154 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 155 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 156 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 157 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 158 /arm925t Files specific to ARM 925 CPUs 159 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 160 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 161 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 162 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 163 /s3c44b0 Files specific to Samsung S3C44B0 CPUs 164 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 165 /lib Architecture specific library files 166 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 167 /cpu CPU specific files 168 /lib Architecture specific library files 169 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 170 /cpu CPU specific files 171 /lib Architecture specific library files 172 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 173 /cpu CPU specific files 174 /lib Architecture specific library files 175 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 176 /cpu CPU specific files 177 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 178 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 179 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 180 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 181 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 182 /lib Architecture specific library files 183 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 184 /cpu CPU specific files 185 /lib Architecture specific library files 186 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 187 /cpu CPU specific files 188 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 189 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 190 /lib Architecture specific library files 191 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 192 /cpu CPU specific files 193 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 194 /lib Architecture specific library files 195 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 196 /cpu CPU specific files 197 /lib Architecture specific library files 198 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 199 /cpu CPU specific files 200 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 201 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 202 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 203 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 204 /mpc8220 Files specific to Freescale MPC8220 CPUs 205 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 206 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 207 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 208 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 209 /lib Architecture specific library files 210 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 211 /cpu CPU specific files 212 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 213 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 214 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 215 /lib Architecture specific library files 216 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 217 /cpu CPU specific files 218 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 219 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 220 /lib Architecture specific library files 221/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 222/board Board dependent files 223/common Misc architecture independent functions 224/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 225/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 226/drivers Commonly used device drivers 227/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 228/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 229/include Header Files 230/lib Files generic to all architectures 231 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 232 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 233 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 234/net Networking code 235/post Power On Self Test 236/rtc Real Time Clock drivers 237/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 238 239Software Configuration: 240======================= 241 242Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 243rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 244 245There are two classes of configuration variables: 246 247* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 248 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 249 "CONFIG_". 250 251* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 252 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 253 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 254 "CONFIG_SYS_". 255 256Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 257identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 258do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 259links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 260as an example here. 261 262 263Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 264--------------------------------------------------- 265 266For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 267configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 268 269Example: For a TQM823L module type: 270 271 cd u-boot 272 make TQM823L_config 273 274For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 275e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 276directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 277 278 279Configuration Options: 280---------------------- 281 282Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 283such information is kept in a configuration file 284"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 285 286Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 287"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 288 289 290Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 291kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 292build a config tool - later. 293 294 295The following options need to be configured: 296 297- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 298 299- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 300 301- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 302 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 303 304- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 305 Define exactly one of 306 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 307--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 308 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 309 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 310 311- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 312 Define exactly one of 313 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 314 315- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 316 Define one or more of 317 CONFIG_CMA302 318 319- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 320 Define one or more of 321 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 322 the LCD display every second with 323 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 324 325- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 326 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 327 Possible values are: 328 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 329 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 330 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 331 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 332 333- Marvell Family Member 334 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 335 multiple fs option at one time 336 for marvell soc family 337 338- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 339 Define exactly one of 340 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 341 342- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 343 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 344 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 345 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 346 reference PIT/RTC clock 347 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 348 or XTAL/EXTAL) 349 350- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 351 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 352 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 353 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 354 See doc/README.MPC866 355 356 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 357 358 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 359 of relying on the correctness of the configured 360 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 361 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 362 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 363 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 364 365 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 366 367 Define this option if you want to enable the 368 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 369 370- 85xx CPU Options: 371 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 372 373 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 374 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 375 compliance, among other possible reasons. 376 377 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 378 379 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 380 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 381 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 382 383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 384 385 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 386 tree nodes for the given platform. 387 388 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 389 390 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 391 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 392 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 393 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 394 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 395 purpose. 396 397 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 398 399 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 400 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 401 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 402 403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 404 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 405 406 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 407 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 408 409 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 410 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 411 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 412 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 413 414 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 415 this erratum. 416 417 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 418 419 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 420 according to the A004510 workaround. 421 422- Generic CPU options: 423 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 424 425 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 426 values is arch specific. 427 428- Intel Monahans options: 429 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 430 431 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 432 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 433 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 434 435 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 436 437 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 438 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 439 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 440 by this value. 441 442- MIPS CPU options: 443 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 444 445 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 446 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 447 relocation. 448 449 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 450 451 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 452 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 453 Possible values are: 454 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 455 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 456 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 457 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 458 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 459 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 460 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 461 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 462 463 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 464 465 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 466 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 467 468 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 469 470 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 471 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 472 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 473 474- ARM options: 475 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 476 477 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 478 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 479 480 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 481 482 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 483 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 484 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 485 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 486 GCC. 487 488- Linux Kernel Interface: 489 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 490 491 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 492 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 493 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 494 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 495 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 496 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 497 Linux kernel. 498 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 499 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 500 default environment. 501 502 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 503 504 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 505 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 506 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 507 508 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 509 510 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 511 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 512 concepts). 513 514 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 515 * New libfdt-based support 516 * Adds the "fdt" command 517 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 518 519 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 520 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 521 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 522 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 523 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 524 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 525 526 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 527 addresses 528 529 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 530 531 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 532 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 533 534 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 535 536 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 537 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 538 539 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 540 541 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 542 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 543 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 544 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 545 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 546 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 547 548 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 549 550 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 551 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 552 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 553 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 554 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 555 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 556 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 557 558- vxWorks boot parameters: 559 560 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 561 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 562 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 563 564 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 565 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 566 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 567 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 568 569 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 570 571 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 572 573 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 574 the defaults discussed just above. 575 576- Cache Configuration: 577 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 578 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 579 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 580 581- Cache Configuration for ARM: 582 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 583 controller 584 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 585 controller register space 586 587- Serial Ports: 588 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 589 590 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 591 592 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 593 594 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 595 596 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 597 598 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 599 the clock speed of the UARTs. 600 601 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 602 603 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 604 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 605 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 606 607 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 608 609 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 610 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 611 this variable to initialize the extra register. 612 613 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 614 615 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 616 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 617 variable to flush the UART at init time. 618 619 CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT 620 621 16550 UART set the Transmitter Empty (TEMT) Bit when all output 622 has finished and the transmitter is totally empty. U-Boot waits 623 for this bit to be set to initialize the serial console. On some 624 broken platforms this bit is not set in SPL making U-Boot to 625 hang while waiting for TEMT. Define this option to avoid it. 626 627 628- Console Interface: 629 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 630 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 631 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 632 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 633 634 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 635 port routines must be defined elsewhere 636 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 637 638 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 639 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 640 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 641 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 642 (default big endian) 643 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 644 rectangle fill 645 (cf. smiLynxEM) 646 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 647 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 648 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 649 (cols=pitch) 650 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 651 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 652 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 653 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 654 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 655 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 656 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 657 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 658 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 659 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 660 (i.e. i8042_getc) 661 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 662 (requires blink timer 663 cf. i8042.c) 664 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 665 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 666 upper right corner 667 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 668 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 669 upper left corner 670 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 671 linux_logo.h for logo. 672 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 673 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 674 additional board info beside 675 the logo 676 677 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 678 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 679 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 680 681 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 682 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 683 environment 'console=serial'. 684 685 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 686 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 687 the "silent" environment variable. See 688 doc/README.silent for more information. 689 690- Console Baudrate: 691 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 692 Select one of the baudrates listed in 693 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 694 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 695 696- Console Rx buffer length 697 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 698 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 699 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 700 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 701 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 702 the SMC. 703 704- Pre-Console Buffer: 705 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 706 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 707 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 708 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 709 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 710 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 711 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 712 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 713 earlier bytes are discarded. 714 715 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 716 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 717 718- Safe printf() functions 719 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 720 the printf() functions. These are defined in 721 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 722 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 723 If this option is not given then these functions will 724 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 725 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 726 727- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 728 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 729 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 730 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 731 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 732 733 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 734 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 735 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 736 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 737 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 738 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 739 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 740 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 741 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 742 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 743 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 744 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 745 746- Autoboot Command: 747 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 748 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 749 define a command string that is automatically executed 750 when no character is read on the console interface 751 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 752 753 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 754 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 755 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 756 environment value "bootargs". 757 758 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 759 The value of these goes into the environment as 760 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 761 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 762 RAM and NFS. 763 764- Pre-Boot Commands: 765 CONFIG_PREBOOT 766 767 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 768 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 769 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 770 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 771 entering interactive mode. 772 773 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 774 automatically generated or modified. For an example 775 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 776 modified when the user holds down a certain 777 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 778 booting the systems 779 780- Serial Download Echo Mode: 781 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 782 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 783 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 784 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 785 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 786 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 787 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 788 789- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 790 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 791 Select one of the baudrates listed in 792 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 793 794- Monitor Functions: 795 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 796 from the build by using the #include files 797 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 798 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 799 and augmenting with additional #define's 800 for wanted commands. 801 802 The default command configuration

"config_cmd_all.h" 902 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 903 904 Other Commands: 905 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 906 907 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 908 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 909 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 910 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 911 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 912 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 913 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 914 initial stack and some data. 915 916 917 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 918 919- Device tree: 920 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 921 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 922 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 923 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 924 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 925 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 926 927 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 928 be done using one of the two options below: 929 930 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 931 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 932 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 933 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 934 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 935 the global data structure as gd->blob. 936 937 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 938 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 939 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 940 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 941 942 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 943 944 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 945 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 946 still use the individual files if you need something more 947 exotic. 948 949- Watchdog: 950 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 951 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 952 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 953 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 954 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 955 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 956 available, then no further board specific code should 957 be needed to use it. 958 959 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 960 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 961 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 962 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 963 964- U-Boot Version: 965 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 966 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 967 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 968 version as printed by the "version" command. 969 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 970 next reset. 971 972- Real-Time Clock: 973 974 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 975 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 976 following options: 977 978 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 979 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 980 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 981 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 982 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 983 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 984 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 985 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 986 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 987 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 988 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 989 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 990 RV3029 RTC. 991 992 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 993 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 994 995- GPIO Support: 996 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 997 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 998 999 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1000 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1001 pins supported by a particular chip. 1002 1003 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1004 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1005 1006- Timestamp Support: 1007 1008 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1009 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1010 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1011 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1012 1013- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1014 Zero or more of the following: 1015 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1016 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1017 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1018 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1019 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1020 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1021 disk/part_efi.c 1022 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1023 1024 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1025 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1026 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1027 1028- IDE Reset method: 1029 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1030 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1031 1032 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1033 be performed by calling the function 1034 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1035 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1036 1037- ATAPI Support: 1038 CONFIG_ATAPI 1039 1040 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1041 1042- LBA48 Support 1043 CONFIG_LBA48 1044 1045 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1046 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1047 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1048 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1049 1050 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1051 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1052 Default is 32bit. 1053 1054- SCSI Support: 1055 At the moment only there is only support for the 1056 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1057 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1058 1059 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1060 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1061 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1062 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1063 devices. 1064 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1065 1066 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1067 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1068 1069- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1070 CONFIG_E1000 1071 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1072 1073 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1074 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1075 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1076 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1077 1078 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1079 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1080 example with the "sspi" command. 1081 1082 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1083 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1084 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1085 1086 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1087 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1088 1089 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1090 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1091 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1092 write routine for first time initialisation. 1093 1094 CONFIG_TULIP 1095 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1096 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1097 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1098 1099 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1100 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1101 1102 CONFIG_NS8382X 1103 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1104 1105- NETWORK Support (other): 1106 1107 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1108 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1109 1110 CONFIG_RMII 1111 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1112 1113 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1114 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1115 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1116 1117 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1118 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1119 1120 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1121 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1122 1123 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1124 Define this to hold the physical address 1125 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1126 1127 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1128 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1129 1130 CONFIG_SMC91111 1131 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1132 1133 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1134 Define this to hold the physical address 1135 of the device (I/O space) 1136 1137 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1138 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1139 1140 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1141 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1142 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1143 1144 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1145 Support for davinci emac 1146 1147 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1148 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1149 1150 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1151 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1152 1153 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1154 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1155 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1156 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1157 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1158 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1159 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1160 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1161 1162 CONFIG_SMC911X 1163 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1164 1165 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1166 Define this to hold the physical address 1167 of the device (I/O space) 1168 1169 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1170 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1171 1172 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1173 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1174 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1175 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1176 1177 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1178 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1179 1180 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1181 Define the number of ports to be used 1182 1183 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1184 Define the ETH PHY's address 1185 1186 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1187 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1188 1189- TPM Support: 1190 CONFIG_GENERIC_LPC_TPM 1191 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1192 per system is supported at this time. 1193 1194 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1195 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1196 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1197 0xfed40000. 1198 1199- USB Support: 1200 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1201 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1202 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1203 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1204 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1205 storage devices. 1206 Note: 1207 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1208 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1209 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1210 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1211 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1212 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1213 for USB on PSC3 1214 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1215 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1216 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1217 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1218 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1219 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1220 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1221 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1222 1223 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1224 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1225 1226- USB Device: 1227 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1228 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1229 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1230 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1231 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1232 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1233 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1234 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1235 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1236 a Linux host by 1237 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1238 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1239 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1240 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1241 1242 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1243 Define this to build a UDC device 1244 1245 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1246 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1247 talk to the UDC device 1248 1249 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1250 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1251 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1252 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1253 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1254 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1255 speed. 1256 1257 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1258 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1259 be set to usbtty. 1260 1261 mpc8xx: 1262 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1263 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1264 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1265 1266 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1267 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1268 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1269 1270 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1271 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1272 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1273 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1274 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1275 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1276 1277 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1278 Define this string as the name of your company for 1279 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1280 1281 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1282 Define this string as the name of your product 1283 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1284 1285 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1286 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1287 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1288 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1289 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1290 1291 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1292 Define this as the unique Product ID 1293 for your device 1294 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1295 1296- ULPI Layer Support: 1297 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1298 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1299 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1300 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1301 viewport is supported. 1302 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1303 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1304 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1305 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1306 the appropriate value in Hz. 1307 1308- MMC Support: 1309 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1310 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1311 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1312 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1313 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1314 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1315 1316 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1317 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1318 1319 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1320 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1321 1322 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1323 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1324 1325- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1326 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1327 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1328 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1329 1330 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1331 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1332 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1333 1334 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1335 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1336 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1337 1338 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1339 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1340 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1341 have not defined a custom partition 1342 1343- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1344 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1345 1346 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1347 file in FAT formatted partition. 1348 1349 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1350 user to write files to FAT. 1351 1352CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1353 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1354 1355 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1356 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1357 and cbfsload. 1358 1359- Keyboard Support: 1360 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1361 1362 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1363 support 1364 1365 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1366 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1367 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1368 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1369 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1370 1371- Video support: 1372 CONFIG_VIDEO 1373 1374 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1375 video). 1376 1377 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1378 1379 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1380 1381 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1382 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1383 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1384 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1385 assumed. 1386 1387 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1388 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1389 are possible: 1390 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1391 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1392 1393 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1394 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1395 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1396 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1397 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1398 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1399 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1400 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1401 1402 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1403 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1404 1405 1406 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1407 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1408 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1409 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1410 1411 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1412 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1413 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1414 support, and should also define these other macros: 1415 1416 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1417 CONFIG_VIDEO 1418 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1419 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1420 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1421 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1422 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1423 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1424 1425 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1426 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1427 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1428 description of this variable. 1429 1430 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1431 1432 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1433 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1434 driver. 1435 1436 1437- Keyboard Support: 1438 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1439 1440 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1441 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1442 defined in your board-specific files. 1443 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1444 1445- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1446 1447 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1448 display); also select one of the supported displays 1449 by defining one of these: 1450 1451 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1452 1453 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1454 1455 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1456 1457 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1458 1459 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1460 1461 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1462 Active, color, single scan. 1463 1464 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1465 1466 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1467 Active, color, single scan. 1468 1469 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1470 1471 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1472 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1473 1474 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1475 1476 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1477 Active, color, single scan. 1478 1479 CONFIG_HLD1045 1480 1481 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1482 Active, color, single scan. 1483 1484 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1485 1486 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1487 or 1488 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1489 or 1490 Hitachi SP14Q002 1491 1492 320x240. Black & white. 1493 1494 Normally display is black on white background; define 1495 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1496 1497 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1498 1499 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1500 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1501 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1502 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1503 a per-section basis. 1504 1505 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1506 1507 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1508 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1509 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1510 is slow. 1511 1512 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1513 1514 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1515 1516 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1517 1518 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1519 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1520 1521- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1522 1523 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1524 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1525 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1526 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1527 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1528 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1529 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1530 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1531 1532 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1533 1534 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1535 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1536 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1537 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1538 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1539 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1540 1541 Example: 1542 setenv splashpos m,m 1543 => image at center of screen 1544 1545 setenv splashpos 30,20 1546 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1547 1548 setenv splashpos -10,m 1549 => vertically centered image 1550 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1551 1552- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1553 1554 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1555 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1556 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1557 1558- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1559 1560 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1561 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1562 bmp command. 1563 1564- Do compresssing for memory range: 1565 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1566 1567 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1568 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1569 1570- Compression support: 1571 CONFIG_BZIP2 1572 1573 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1574 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1575 compressed images are supported. 1576 1577 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1578 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1579 be at least 4MB. 1580 1581 CONFIG_LZMA 1582 1583 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1584 images is included. 1585 1586 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1587 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1588 formula: 1589 1590 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1591 1592 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1593 and Literal pos bits. 1594 1595 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1596 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1597 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1598 a very small buffer. 1599 1600 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1601 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1602 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1603 1604- MII/PHY support: 1605 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1606 1607 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1608 1609 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1610 1611 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1612 1613 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1614 1615 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1616 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1617 1618 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1619 1620 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1621 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1622 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1623 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1624 1625 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1626 1627 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1628 command issued before MII status register can be read 1629 1630- Ethernet address: 1631 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1632 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1633 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1634 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1635 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1636 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1637 1638 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1639 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1640 is not determined automatically. 1641 1642- IP address: 1643 CONFIG_IPADDR 1644 1645 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1646 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1647 determined through e.g. bootp. 1648 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1649 1650- Server IP address: 1651 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1652 1653 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1654 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1655 (Environment variable "serverip") 1656 1657 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1658 1659 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1660 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1661 1662- Gateway IP address: 1663 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1664 1665 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1666 default router where packets to other networks are 1667 sent to. 1668 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1669 1670- Subnet mask: 1671 CONFIG_NETMASK 1672 1673 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1674 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1675 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1676 forwarded through a router. 1677 (Environment variable "netmask") 1678 1679- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1680 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1681 1682 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1683 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1684 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1685 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1686 multicast group. 1687 1688- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1689 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1690 1691 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1692 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1693 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1694 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1695 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1696 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1697 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1698 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1699 following delays are inserted then: 1700 1701 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1702 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1703 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1704 4th and following 1705 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1706 1707- DHCP Advanced Options: 1708 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1709 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1710 1711 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1712 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1713 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1714 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1715 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1716 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1717 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1718 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1719 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1720 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1721 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1722 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1723 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1724 1725 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1726 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1727 1728 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1729 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1730 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1731 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1732 is not available. 1733 1734 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1735 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1736 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1737 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1738 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1739 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1740 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1741 is defined. 1742 1743 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1744 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1745 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1746 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1747 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1748 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1749 1750 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1751 1752 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1753 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1754 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1755 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1756 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1757 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1758 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1759 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1760 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1761 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1762 this delay. 1763 1764 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1765 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1766 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1767 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1768 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1769 1770 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1771 1772 - CDP Options: 1773 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1774 1775 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1776 1777 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1778 1779 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1780 of the device. 1781 1782 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1783 1784 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1785 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1786 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1787 1788 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1789 1790 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1791 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1792 1793 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1794 1795 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1796 1797 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1798 1799 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1800 1801 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1802 1803 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1804 1805 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1806 1807 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1808 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1809 1810 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1811 1812 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1813 1814- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1815 1816 Several configurations allow to display the current 1817 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1818 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1819 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1820 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1821 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1822 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1823 feature in U-Boot. 1824 1825- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1826 1827 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1828 on those systems that support this (optional) 1829 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1830 1831- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 1832 1833 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of 1834 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will 1835 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. 1836 1837 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 1838 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 1839 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 1840 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 1841 command line interface. 1842 1843 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 1844 1845 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka 1846 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware 1847 support for I2C. 1848 1849 There are several other quantities that must also be 1850 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. 1851 1852 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 1853 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 1854 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 1855 the CPU's i2c node address). 1856 1857 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 1858 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 1859 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 1860 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 1861 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 1862 1863 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 1864 1865 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1866 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1867 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 1868 commands until the slave device responds. 1869 1870 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 1871 1872 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) 1873 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1874 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1875 1876 I2C_INIT 1877 1878 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1879 controller or configure ports. 1880 1881 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1882 1883 I2C_PORT 1884 1885 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 1886 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 1887 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 1888 1889 I2C_ACTIVE 1890 1891 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 1892 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 1893 define can be null. 1894 1895 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 1896 1897 I2C_TRISTATE 1898 1899 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 1900 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 1901 define can be null. 1902 1903 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 1904 1905 I2C_READ 1906 1907 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high, 1908 FALSE if it is low. 1909 1910 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 1911 1912 I2C_SDA(bit) 1913 1914 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it 1915 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1916 1917 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 1918 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 1919 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 1920 1921 I2C_SCL(bit) 1922 1923 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 1924 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1925 1926 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 1927 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 1928 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 1929 1930 I2C_DELAY 1931 1932 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 1933 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 1934 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 1935 like: 1936 1937 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 1938 1939 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 1940 1941 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 1942 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 1943 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 1944 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 1945 1946 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 1947 the generic GPIO functions. 1948 1949 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 1950 1951 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1952 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1953 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 1954 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 1955 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 1956 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 1957 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 1958 is run early in the boot sequence. 1959 1960 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 1961 1962 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 1963 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 1964 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 1965 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 1966 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 1967 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 1968 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 1969 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 1970 1971 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 1972 1973 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 1974 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 1975 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 1976 1977 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1978 1979 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 1980 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 1981 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 1982 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 1983 1984 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 1985 1986 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 1987 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1988 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 1989 a 1D array of device addresses 1990 1991 e.g. 1992 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1993 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 1994 1995 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 1996 1997 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1998 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 1999 2000 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2001 2002 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2003 2004 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2005 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2006 2007 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2008 2009 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2010 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2011 2012 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2013 2014 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2015 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2016 2017 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2018 2019 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2020 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2021 specified DTT device. 2022 2023 CONFIG_FSL_I2C 2024 2025 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in 2026 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. 2027 2028 CONFIG_I2C_MUX 2029 2030 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n 2031 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C 2032 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a 2033 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the 2034 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for 2035 the muxes to activate this new "bus". 2036 2037 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this 2038 feature! 2039 2040 Example: 2041 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes 2042 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 2043 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 2044 2045 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 2046 2047 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list 2048 of I2C Busses with muxes: 2049 2050 => i2c bus 2051 Busses reached over muxes: 2052 Bus ID: 2 2053 reached over Mux(es): 2054 pca9544a@70 ch: 4 2055 Bus ID: 3 2056 reached over Mux(es): 2057 pca9544a@70 ch: 6 2058 pca9544a@71 ch: 4 2059 => 2060 2061 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" 2062 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable 2063 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable 2064 the channel 4. 2065 2066 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as 2067 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind 2068 the 2 muxes. 2069 2070 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging 2071 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C 2072 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult 2073 to add this option to other architectures. 2074 2075 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2076 2077 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2078 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2079 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2080 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2081 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2082 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2083 the other. 2084 2085- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2086 2087 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2088 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2089 D/As on the SACSng board) 2090 2091 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2092 2093 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2094 only SH7757 is supported. 2095 2096 CONFIG_SPI_X 2097 2098 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2099 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2100 2101 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2102 2103 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2104 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2105 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2106 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2107 defined, the board configuration must define several 2108 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2109 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2110 2111 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2112 2113 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2114 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2115 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2116 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2117 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2118 2119 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2120 2121 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2122 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2123 2124- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2125 2126 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2127 2128 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2129 2130 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2131 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2132 2133 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2134 2135 Enables support for FPGA family. 2136 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2137 2138 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2139 2140 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2141 2142 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2143 2144 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2145 2146 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2147 2148 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2149 status by the configuration function. This option 2150 will require a board or device specific function to 2151 be written. 2152 2153 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2154 2155 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2156 configuration driver. 2157 2158 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2159 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2160 2161 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2162 2163 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2164 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2165 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2166 indicated a CRC error). 2167 2168 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2169 2170 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2171 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2172 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2173 ms. 2174 2175 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2176 2177 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2178 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2179 2180 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2181 2182 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2183 200 ms. 2184 2185- Configuration Management: 2186 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2187 2188 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2189 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2190 2191- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2192 2193 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2194 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2195 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2196 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2197 protects these variables from casual modification by 2198 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2199 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2200 change this behaviour: 2201 2202 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2203 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2204 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2205 these parameters. 2206 2207 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2208 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2209 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2210 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2211 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2212 read-only.] 2213 2214 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2215 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2216 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2217 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2218 2219- Protected RAM: 2220 CONFIG_PRAM 2221 2222 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2223 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2224 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2225 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2226 this default value by defining an environment 2227 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2228 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2229 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2230 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2231 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2232 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2233 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2234 2235 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2236 saveenv 2237 2238 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2239 either, which results in a memory region that will 2240 not be affected by reboots. 2241 2242 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2243 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2244 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2245 following board configurations are known to be 2246 "pRAM-clean": 2247 2248 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2249 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2250 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2251 2252- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2253 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2254 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2255 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2256 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2257 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2258 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2259 2260- Error Recovery: 2261 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2262 2263 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2264 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2265 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2266 system where you want the system to reboot 2267 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2268 useful during development since you can try to debug 2269 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2270 2271 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2272 2273 This variable defines the number of retries for 2274 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2275 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2276 default value of 5 is used. 2277 2278 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2279 2280 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2281 2282 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2283 2284 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2285 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2286 try longer timeout such as 2287 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2288 2289- Command Interpreter: 2290 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2291 2292 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2293 2294 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2295 for the "hush" shell. 2296 2297 2298 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2299 2300 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2301 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2302 powerful command line syntax like 2303 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2304 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2305 2306 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2307 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2308 2309 2310 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2311 2312 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2313 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2314 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2315 2316 Note: 2317 2318 In the current implementation, the local variables 2319 space and global environment variables space are 2320 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2321 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2322 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2323 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2324 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2325 2326 Global environment variables are those you use 2327 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2328 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2329 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2330 2331 To store commands and special characters in a 2332 variable, please use double quotation marks 2333 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2334 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2335 symbols. 2336 2337- Commandline Editing and History: 2338 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2339 2340 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2341 commandline input operations 2342 2343- Default Environment: 2344 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2345 2346 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2347 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2348 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2349 2350 For example, place something like this in your 2351 board's config file: 2352 2353 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2354 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2355 "myvar2=value2\0" 2356 2357 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2358 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2359 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2360 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2361 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2362 You better know what you are doing here. 2363 2364 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2365 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2366 the environment like the "source" command or the 2367 boot command first. 2368 2369 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2370 2371 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2372 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2373 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2374 2375 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2376 2377 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2378 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2379 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2380 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2381 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2382 2383 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2384 2385 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2386 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2387 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2388 2389- DataFlash Support: 2390 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2391 2392 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2393 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2394 commands cp, md... 2395 2396- Serial Flash support 2397 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2398 2399 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2400 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2401 2402 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2403 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2404 commands. 2405 2406 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2407 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2408 flash is present on the system. 2409 2410 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2411 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2412 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2413 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2414 2415- SystemACE Support: 2416 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2417 2418 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2419 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2420 of the chip must also be defined in the 2421 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2422 2423 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2424 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2425 2426 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2427 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2428 2429- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2430 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2431 2432 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2433 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2434 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2435 number generator is used. 2436 2437 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2438 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2439 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2440 2441 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2442 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2443 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2444 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2445 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2446 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2447 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2448 2449- Hashing support: 2450 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 2451 2452 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 2453 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 2454 2455 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 2456 2457 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 2458 size a little. 2459 2460 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 2461 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 2462 2463 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 2464 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 2465 2466- Show boot progress: 2467 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2468 2469 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2470 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2471 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2472 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2473 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2474 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2475 2476- Detailed boot stage timing 2477 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 2478 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 2479 of the boot process. 2480 2481 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 2482 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 2483 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 2484 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 2485 the limit, recording will stop. 2486 2487 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 2488 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 2489 2490 Timer summary in microseconds: 2491 Mark Elapsed Stage 2492 0 0 reset 2493 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 2494 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 2495 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 2496 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 2497 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 2498 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 2499 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 2500 2501 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 2502 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 2503 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 2504 2505 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 2506 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 2507 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 2508 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 2509 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 2510 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 2511 For example: 2512 2513 bootstage { 2514 154 { 2515 name = "board_init_f"; 2516 mark = <3575678>; 2517 }; 2518 170 { 2519 name = "lcd"; 2520 accum = <33482>; 2521 }; 2522 }; 2523 2524 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 2525 2526Legacy uImage format: 2527 2528 Arg Where When 2529 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 2530 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

best matches that of 2686 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 2687 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 2688 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 2689 2690- Standalone program support: 2691 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2692 2693 This option defines a board specific value for the 2694 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2695 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2696 settings. 2697 2698- Frame Buffer Address: 2699 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2700 2701 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2702 address for frame buffer. 2703 Then system will reserve the frame buffer address to 2704 defined address instead of lcd_setmem (this function 2705 grabs the memory for frame buffer by panel's size). 2706 2707 Please see board_init_f function. 2708 2709- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2710 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2711 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2712 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2713 2714 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2715 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2716 2717- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2718 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2719 2720 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2721 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2722 2723 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2724 2725 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2726 kernel.

This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 2841 2842 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 2843 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 2844 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 2845 2846 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 2847 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 2848 2849 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 2850 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 2851 2852 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 2853 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 2854 2855 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 2856 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 2857 2858 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 2859 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 2860 2861 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 2862 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 2863 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 2864 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 2865 2866Modem Support: 2867-------------- 2868 2869[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 2870 2871- Modem support enable: 2872 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 2873 2874- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 2875 CONFIG_HWFLOW 2876 2877- Modem debug support: 2878 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 2879 2880 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 2881 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 2882 2883- Interrupt support (PPC): 2884 2885 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 2886 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 2887 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 2888 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 2889 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 2890 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 2891 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 2892 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 2893 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 2894 general timer_interrupt(). 2895 2896- General: 2897 2898 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 2899 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 2900 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 2901 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 2902 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 2903 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 2904 initialization. 2905 2906 If there are no modem init strings in the 2907 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 2908 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 2909 suppressed, though. 2910 2911 See also: doc/README.Modem 2912 2913Board initialization settings: 2914------------------------------ 2915 2916During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 2917to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 2918before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 2919following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 2920architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 2921typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 2922 2923- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 2924- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 2925- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 2926- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 2927 2928Configuration Settings: 2929----------------------- 2930 2931- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 2932 undefine this when you're short of memory. 2933 2934- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 2935 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 2936 2937- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 2938 prompt for user input. 2939 2940- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 2941 2942- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 2943 2944- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 2945 2946- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 2947 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 2948 booted 2949 2950- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 2951 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 2952 2953- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 2954 Suppress display of console information at boot. 2955 2956- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 2957 If the board specific function 2958 extern int overwrite_console (void); 2959 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 2960 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 2961 2962- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 2963 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 2964 2965- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 2966 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 2967 2968- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 2969 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 2970 simple memory test. 2971 2972- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 2973 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 2974 2975- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 2976 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 2977 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 2978 2979- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 2980 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 2981 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 2982 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 2983 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 2984 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 2985 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 2986 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 2987 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 2988 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 2989 2990 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 2991 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 2992 be touched. 2993 2994 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 2995 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 2996 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 2997 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 2998 problems. 2999 3000- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3001 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3002 3003- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3004 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3005 3006- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3007 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3008 Cogent motherboard) 3009 3010- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3011 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3012 3013- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3014 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3015 make config files to be same as the text base address 3016 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3017 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3018 3019- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3020 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3021 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3022 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3023 flash sector. 3024 3025- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3026 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3027 3028- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3029 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3030 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3031 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3032 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3033 3034- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3035 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3036 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3037 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3038 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3039 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3040 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3041 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3042 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3043 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3044 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3045 3046- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3047 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3048 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3049 is enabled. 3050 3051- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3052 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3053 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3054 3055- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3056 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3057 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3058 3059- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3060 Max number of Flash memory banks 3061 3062- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3063 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3064 3065- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3066 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3067 3068- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3069 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3070 3071- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3072 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3073 3074- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3075 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3076 3077- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3078 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3079 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3080 3081- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3082 3083 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3084 without this option such a download has to be 3085 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3086 copy from RAM to flash. 3087 3088 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3089 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3090 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3091 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3092 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3093 3094- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3095 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3096 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3097 3098- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3099 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3100 in the drivers directory 3101 3102- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3103 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3104 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3105 to the MTD layer. 3106 3107- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3108 Use buffered writes to flash. 3109 3110- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3111 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3112 write commands. 3113 3114- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3115 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3116 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3117 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3118 optionally available. 3119 3120- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3121 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3122 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3123 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3124 3125- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3126 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3127 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3128 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3129 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3130 on high Ethernet traffic. 3131 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3132 3133- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3134 3135 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3136 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3137 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3138 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3139 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3140 3141- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3142- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3143 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when 3144 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3145 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3146 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3147 3148 The format of the list is: 3149 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3150 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3151 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3152 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3153 list = entry[,list] 3154 3155 The type attributes are: 3156 s - String (default) 3157 d - Decimal 3158 x - Hexadecimal 3159 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3160 i - IP address 3161 m - MAC address 3162 3163 The access attributes are: 3164 a - Any (default) 3165 r - Read-only 3166 o - Write-once 3167 c - Change-default 3168 3169 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3170 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3171 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3172 3173 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3174 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3175 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3176 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 3177 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 3178 ".flags" variable. 3179 3180- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 3181 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 3182 access flags. 3183 3184The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 3185of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 3186following configurations: 3187 3188- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 3189 3190 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 3191 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 3192 3193- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 3194 3195 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 3196 3197 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 3198 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 3199 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 3200 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 3201 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 3202 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 3203 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 3204 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 3205 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 3206 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 3207 between U-Boot and the environment. 3208 3209 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3210 3211 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 3212 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 3213 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 3214 for this sector is given here. 3215 3216 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 3217 3218 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3219 3220 This is just another way to specify the start address of 3221 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 3222 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 3223 3224 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 3225 3226 Size of the sector containing the environment. 3227 3228 3229 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 3230 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 3231 the environment. 3232 3233 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3234 3235 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 3236 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 3237 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 3238 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 3239 3240 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 3241 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 3242 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 3243 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 3244 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 3245 updating the environment in flash makes it always 3246 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 3247 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 3248 RAM, your target system will be dead. 3249 3250 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 3251 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 3252 3253 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 3254 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 3255 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 3256 a "saveenv" operation. 3257 3258BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 3259source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 3260accordingly! 3261 3262 3263- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 3264 3265 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 3266 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 3267 environment. 3268 3269 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3270 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3271 3272 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 3273 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 3274 can just be read and written to, without any special 3275 provision. 3276 3277BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3278in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3279console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3280U-Boot will hang. 3281 3282Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3283environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3284keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3285to save the current settings. 3286 3287 3288- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 3289 3290 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 3291 device and a driver for it. 3292 3293 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3294 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3295 3296 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 3297 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 3298 3299 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 3300 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 3301 The default address is zero. 3302 3303 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 3304 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 3305 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 3306 would require six bits. 3307 3308 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 3309 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 3310 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 3311 3312 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 3313 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 3314 that this is NOT the chip address length! 3315 3316 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 3317 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 3318 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 3319 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 3320 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 3321 byte chips. 3322 3323 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 3324 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 3325 in the chip address. 3326 3327 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 3328 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 3329 3330 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 3331 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 3332 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 3333 3334 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 3335 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 3336 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 3337 EEPROM. For example: 3338 3339 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0" 3340 3341 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 3342 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 3343 3344- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 3345 3346 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 3347 want to use for the environment. 3348 3349 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3350 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3351 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3352 3353 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 3354 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 3355 at the specified address. 3356 3357- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 3358 3359 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 3360 want to use for the local device's environment. 3361 3362 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3363 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3364 3365 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 3366 environment area within the remote memory space. The 3367 local device can get the environment from remote memory 3368 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 3369 3370BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3371"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3372environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3373but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3374 3375- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 3376 3377 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 3378 for the environment. 3379 3380 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3381 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3382 3383 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3384 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 3385 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3386 3387 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3388 3389 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 3390 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 3391 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 3392 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 3393 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3394 3395 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 3396 3397 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 3398 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 3399 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 3400 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 3401 the range to be avoided. 3402 3403 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 3404 3405 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 3406 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 3407 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 3408 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 3409 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 3410 3411- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3412 3413 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3414 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3415 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3416 3417- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 3418 3419 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 3420 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 3421 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 3422 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 3423 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 3424 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 3425 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 3426 3427Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3428has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3429created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 3430until then to read environment variables. 3431 3432The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3433is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3434with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3435necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3436"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3437have any device yet where we could complain.] 3438 3439Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3440the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3441use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3442 3443- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3444 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3445 3446 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3447 also needs to be defined. 3448 3449- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3450 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3451 3452- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3453 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3454 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3455 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3456 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3457 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3458 3459Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3460--------------------------------------------------- 3461 3462- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3463 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3464 3465- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 3466 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 3467 3468 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 3469 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 3470 the IMMR register after a reset. 3471 3472- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 3473 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 3474 PowerPC SOCs. 3475 3476- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 3477 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 3478 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 3479 3480 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 3481 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 3482 3483- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 3484 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 3485 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 3486 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 3487 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 3488 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 3489 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 3490 3491 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 3492 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 3493 3494- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 3495 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 3496 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 3497 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3498 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3499 3500- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 3501 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 3502 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3503 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3504 3505- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 3506 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 3507 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 3508 3509- Floppy Disk Support: 3510 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 3511 3512 the default drive number (default value 0) 3513 3514 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 3515 3516 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 3517 (default value 1) 3518 3519 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 3520 3521 defines the offset of register from address. It 3522 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 3523 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 3524 3525 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 3526 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 3527 default value. 3528 3529 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 3530 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 3531 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 3532 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 3533 initializations. 3534 3535- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 3536 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 3537 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 3538 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 3539 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 3540 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 3541 is requierd. 3542 3543- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 3544 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 3545 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 3546 3547- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 3548 3549 Start address of memory area that can be used for 3550 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 3551 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 3552 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 3553 will become available only after programming the 3554 memory controller and running certain initialization 3555 sequences. 3556 3557 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 3558 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 3559 - MPC824X: data cache 3560 - PPC4xx: data cache 3561 3562- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 3563 3564 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 3565 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 3566 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 3567 data is located at the end of the available space 3568 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 3569 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 3570 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 3571 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 3572 3573 Note: 3574 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 3575 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 3576 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 3577 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 3578 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 3579 3580- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 3581 3582- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 3583 3584- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 3585 3586- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 3587 3588- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 3589 3590- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 3591 3592- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 3593 SDRAM timing 3594 3595- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 3596 periodic timer for refresh 3597 3598- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 3599 3600- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 3601 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 3602 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 3603 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 3604 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 3605 3606- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 3607 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 3608 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 3609 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 3610 3611- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 3612 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 3613 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 3614 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 3615 3616- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3617 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3618 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 3619 3620- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3621 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3622 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 3623 3624- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3625 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3626 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 3627 3628- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 3629 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 3630 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 3631 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 3632 3633- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 3634 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 3635 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 3636 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 3637 cpm_8260.h. 3638 3639- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3640 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 3641 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 3642 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3643 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 3644 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 3645 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 3646 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 3647 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 3648 3649- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 3650 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 3651 required. 3652 3653- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 3654 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 3655 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 3656 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 3657 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 3658 by coreboot or similar. 3659 3660- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 3661 Chip has SRIO or not 3662 3663- CONFIG_SRIO1: 3664 Board has SRIO 1 port available 3665 3666- CONFIG_SRIO2: 3667 Board has SRIO 2 port available 3668 3669- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 3670 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3671 3672- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 3673 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3674 3675- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 3676 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3677 3678- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_16 3679 Defined to tell the NDFC that the NAND chip is using a 3680 16 bit bus. 3681 3682- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 3683 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 3684 a default value will be used. 3685 3686- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 3687 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 3688 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 3689 3690 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 3691 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 3692 3693- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 3694 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 3695 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 3696 to something your driver can deal with. 3697 3698- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 3699 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 3700 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 3701 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 3702 header files or board specific files. 3703 3704- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 3705 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 3706 3707- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 3708 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 3709 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 3710 3711- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 3712 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 3713 3714- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 3715 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 3716 to the given FEC; i. e. 3717 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 3718 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 3719 3720 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 3721 3722- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 3723 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 3724 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 3725 3726- CONFIG_RMII 3727 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 3728 Note that this is a global option, we can't 3729 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 3730 3731- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 3732 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 3733 The syntax is: 3734 3735 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 3736 3737 Where address/count indicate a memory area 3738 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 3739 area should have. 3740 3741- CONFIG_LOOPW 3742 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 3743 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3744 3745- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 3746 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 3747 "md/mw" commands. 3748 Examples: 3749 3750 => mdc.b 10 4 500 3751 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 3752 3753 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 3754 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 3755 3756 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 3757 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3758 3759- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 3760 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 3761 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 3762 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 3763 relocate itself into RAM. 3764 3765 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 3766 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 3767 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 3768 these initializations itself. 3769 3770- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 3771 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 3772 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 3773 compiling a NAND SPL. 3774 3775- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 3776 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 3777 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 3778 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 3779 conditions but may increase the binary size. 3780 3781- CONFIG_X86_NO_RESET_VECTOR 3782 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is excluded. You will need 3783 to do this when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 3784 3785- CONFIG_X86_NO_REAL_MODE 3786 If defined, x86 real mode code is omitted. This assumes a 3787 32-bit environment where such code is not needed. You will 3788 need to do this when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 3789 3790 3791Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 3792----------------------------------- 3793 3794The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 3795loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 3796This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 3797are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 3798within that device. 3799 3800- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 3801 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 3802 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 3803 is also specified. 3804 3805- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 3806 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 3807 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 3808 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 3809 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 3810 3811- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 3812 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 3813 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 3814 virtual address in NOR flash. 3815 3816- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 3817 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 3818 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 3819 3820- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 3821 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 3822 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 3823 3824- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 3825 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 3826 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 3827 3828- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 3829 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 3830 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 3831 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 3832 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 3833 master's memory space. 3834 3835Building the Software: 3836====================== 3837 3838Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 3839and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 3840all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 3841(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 3842recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 3843which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 3844 3845If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 3846have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 3847you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 3848Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 3849necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 3850 3851 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 3852 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 3853 3854Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 3855 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 3856 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 3857 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 3858 3859 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 3860 3861 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 3862 be executed on computers running Windows. 3863 3864U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 3865sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 3866is done by typing: 3867 3868 make NAME_config 3869 3870where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 3871rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 3872 3873Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 3874 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 3875 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 3876 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 3877 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 3878 3879 make TQM823L_config 3880 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 3881 3882 make TQM823L_LCD_config 3883 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 3884 3885 etc. 3886 3887 3888Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 3889images ready for download to / installation on your system: 3890 3891- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 3892- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 3893- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 3894 3895By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 3896in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 3897this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 3898 38991. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 3900 3901 make O=/tmp/build distclean 3902 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 3903 make O=/tmp/build all 3904 39052. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 3906 3907 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 3908 make distclean 3909 make NAME_config 3910 make all 3911 3912Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 3913variable. 3914 3915 3916Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 3917for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 3918native "make". 3919 3920 3921If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 3922to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 3923steps: 3924 39251. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 3926 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 3927 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 39282. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 3929 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 3930 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 39313. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 3932 your board 39333. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 3934 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 39354. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 39365. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 3937 to be installed on your target system. 39386. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 3939 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 3940 3941 3942Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 3943============================================================== 3944 3945If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 3946or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 3947provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 3948the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 3949official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 3950 3951But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 3952cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 3953the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 3954just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 3955for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 3956select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 3957environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 3958you can type 3959 3960 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 3961 3962or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 3963 3964 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 3965 3966When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 3967U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 3968setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 3969built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 3970<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 3971location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 3972variable. For example: 3973 3974 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 3975 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 3976 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 3977 3978With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 3979log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 3980during the whole build process. 3981 3982 3983See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 3984 3985 3986Monitor Commands - Overview: 3987============================ 3988 3989go - start application at address 'addr' 3990run - run commands in an environment variable 3991bootm - boot application image from memory 3992bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 3993bootz - boot zImage from memory 3994tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 3995 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 3996 (and eventually "gatewayip") 3997tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 3998rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 3999diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 4000loads - load S-Record file over serial line 4001loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 4002md - memory display 4003mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 4004nm - memory modify (constant address) 4005mw - memory write (fill) 4006cp - memory copy 4007cmp - memory compare 4008crc32 - checksum calculation 4009i2c - I2C sub-system 4010sspi - SPI utility commands 4011base - print or set address offset 4012printenv- print environment variables 4013setenv - set environment variables 4014saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 4015protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 4016erase - erase FLASH memory 4017flinfo - print FLASH memory information 4018nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 4019bdinfo - print Board Info structure 4020iminfo - print header information for application image 4021coninfo - print console devices and informations 4022ide - IDE sub-system 4023loop - infinite loop on address range 4024loopw - infinite write loop on address range 4025mtest - simple RAM test 4026icache - enable or disable instruction cache 4027dcache - enable or disable data cache 4028reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 4029echo - echo args to console 4030version - print monitor version 4031help - print online help 4032? - alias for 'help' 4033 4034 4035Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 4036======================================== 4037 4038TODO. 4039 4040For now: just type "help <command>". 4041 4042 4043Environment Variables: 4044====================== 4045 4046U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 4047can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 4048 4049Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 4050"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 4051without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 4052environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 4053working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 4054environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 4055 4056Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 4057 4058List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 4059 4060 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 4061 4062 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 4063 4064 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 4065 4066 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 4067 4068 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 4069 4070 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4071 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4072 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 4073 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 4074 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 4075 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 4076 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 4077 bootm_mapsize. 4078 4079 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 4080 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 4081 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 4082 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 4083 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 4084 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 4085 used otherwise. 4086 4087 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4088 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4089 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 4090 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 4091 environment variable. 4092 4093 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 4094 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 4095 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 4096 4097 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 4098 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 4099 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 4100 load any image using TFTP 4101 4102 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 4103 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 4104 be automatically started (by internally calling 4105 "bootm") 4106 4107 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 4108 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 4109 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 4110 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 4111 data. 4112 4113 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 4114 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 4115 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 4116 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 4117 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 4118 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 4119 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 4120 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 4121 access it during the boot procedure. 4122 4123 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 4124 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 4125 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 4126 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 4127 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 4128 must be accessible by the kernel. 4129 4130 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 4131 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 4132 defined. 4133 4134 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 4135 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 4136 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 4137 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 4138 it must be saved and board must be reset. 4139 4140 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 4141 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 4142 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 4143 is usually what you want since it allows for 4144 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 4145 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 4146 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 4147 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 4148 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 4149 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 4150 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 4151 4152 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 4153 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 4154 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 4155 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 4156 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 4157 12 MB as well - this can be done with 4158 4159 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 4160 4161 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 4162 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 4163 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 4164 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 4165 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 4166 boot time on your system, but requires that this 4167 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 4168 4169 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4170 4171 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 4172 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 4173 4174 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 4175 4176 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4177 4178 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 4179 4180 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 4181 4182 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 4183 4184 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 4185 4186 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 4187 For example you can do the following 4188 4189 => setenv ethact FEC 4190 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 4191 => setenv ethact SCC 4192 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 4193 4194 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 4195 available network interfaces. 4196 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 4197 4198 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 4199 either succeed or fail without retrying. 4200 When set to "once" the network operation will 4201 fail when all the available network interfaces 4202 are tried once without success. 4203 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 4204 themselves. 4205 4206 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 4207 4208 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 4209 UDP source port. 4210 4211 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 4212 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 4213 4214 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 4215 we use the TFTP server's default block size 4216 4217 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 4218 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 4219 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 4220 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 4221 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 4222 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 4223 with unreliable TFTP servers. 4224 4225 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 4226 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 4227 VLAN tagged frames. 4228 4229The following image location variables contain the location of images 4230used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 4231not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 4232variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 4233server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 4234loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 4235flash or offset in NAND flash. 4236 4237*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 4238boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 4239boards use these variables for other purposes. 4240 4241Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4242----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4243u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4244Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4245device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4246ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4247 4248The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4249updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4250depending the information provided by your boot server: 4251 4252 bootfile - see above 4253 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4254 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4255 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4256 hostname - Target hostname 4257 ipaddr - see above 4258 netmask - Subnet Mask 4259 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4260 serverip - see above 4261 4262 4263There are two special Environment Variables: 4264 4265 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4266 as type string and/or serial number 4267 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4268 4269These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4270the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4271once they have been set once. 4272 4273 4274Further special Environment Variables: 4275 4276 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4277 with the "version" command. This variable is 4278 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4279 4280 4281Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4282only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4283 4284 4285Callback functions for environment variables: 4286--------------------------------------------- 4287 4288For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 4289when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 4290be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 4291deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 4292effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 4293 4294The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 4295U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 4296 4297These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 4298static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 4299in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 4300associations. The list must be in the following format: 4301 4302 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 4303 list = entry[,list] 4304 4305If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 4306Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 4307 4308Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 4309with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 4310override any association in the static list. You can define 4311CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 4312".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4313 4314 4315Command Line Parsing: 4316===================== 4317 4318There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4319the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4320 4321Old, simple command line parser: 4322-------------------------------- 4323 4324- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4325- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4326- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4327- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4328 for example: 4329 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4330- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4331 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4332 4333Hush shell: 4334----------- 4335 4336- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4337 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4338 until...do...done, ... 4339- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4340 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4341 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4342 command 4343 4344General rules: 4345-------------- 4346 4347(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4348 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4349 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4350 executed anyway. 4351 4352(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4353 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4354 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4355 variables are not executed. 4356 4357Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4358======================================= 4359 4360Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4361such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4362"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4363 4364Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4365MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4366"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4367 4368If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4369in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4370ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4371variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4372 4373o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4374 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4375 4376o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4377 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4378 used. 4379 4380o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4381 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4382 4383o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4384 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4385 warning is printed. 4386 4387o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4388 is raised. 4389 4390If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4391will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4392may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4393The naming convention is as follows: 4394"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4395 4396Image Formats: 4397============== 4398 4399U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4400images in two formats: 4401 4402New uImage format (FIT) 4403----------------------- 4404 4405Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4406to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4407components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4408SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4409 4410 4411Old uImage format 4412----------------- 4413 4414Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4415preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4416details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4417 4418* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4419 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4420 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4421 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4422 INTEGRITY). 4423* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4424 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4425 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4426* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4427* Load Address 4428* Entry Point 4429* Image Name 4430* Image Timestamp 4431 4432The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4433and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4434CRC32 checksums. 4435 4436 4437Linux Support: 4438============== 4439 4440Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4441easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4442U-Boot. 4443 4444U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4445special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4446"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4447instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4448serves several purposes: 4449 4450- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4451 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4452 Flash memory footprint) 4453 4454- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4455 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4456 4457- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4458 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4459 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 4460 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 4461 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 4462 software is easier now. 4463 4464 4465Linux HOWTO: 4466============ 4467 4468Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 4469--------------------------------------- 4470 4471U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 4472configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 4473(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 4474Linux :-). 4475 4476But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 4477 4478Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 4479include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 4480Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 4481and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 4482as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 4483 4484 4485Configuring the Linux kernel: 4486----------------------------- 4487 4488No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 4489device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 4490 4491 4492Building a Linux Image: 4493----------------------- 4494 4495With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 4496not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 4497"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 4498U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 4499which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 4500100% compatible format. 4501 4502Example: 4503 4504 make TQM850L_config 4505 make oldconfig 4506 make dep 4507 make uImage 4508 4509The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 4510encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 4511CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 4512 4513* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 4514 4515* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 4516 4517 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 4518 -R .note -R .comment \ 4519 -S vmlinux linux.bin 4520 4521* compress the binary image: 4522 4523 gzip -9 linux.bin 4524 4525* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 4526 4527 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 4528 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 4529 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 4530 4531 4532The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 4533with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 4534combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 4535byte header containing information about target architecture, 4536operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 4537stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 4538 4539"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 4540print the header information, or to build new images. 4541 4542In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 4543contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 4544checksum verification: 4545 4546 tools/mkimage -l image 4547 -l ==> list image header information 4548 4549The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 4550from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 4551 4552 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 4553 -n name -d data_file image 4554 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 4555 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 4556 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 4557 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 4558 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 4559 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 4560 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 4561 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 4562 4563Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 4564address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 4565kernel version: 4566 4567- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 4568- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 4569 4570So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 4571 4572 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4573 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 4574 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 4575 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 4576 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4577 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4578 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4579 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4580 Load Address: 0x00000000 4581 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4582 4583To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 4584 4585 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 4586 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4587 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4588 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4589 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4590 Load Address: 0x00000000 4591 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4592 4593NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 4594speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 4595needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 4596need to be uncompressed: 4597 4598 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 4599 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4600 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 4601 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 4602 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 4603 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4604 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4605 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 4606 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 4607 Load Address: 0x00000000 4608 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4609 4610 4611Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 4612when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 4613 4614 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 4615 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 4616 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 4617 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 4618 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 4619 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 4620 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 4621 Load Address: 0x00000000 4622 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4623 4624 4625Installing a Linux Image: 4626------------------------- 4627 4628To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 4629you must convert the image to S-Record format: 4630 4631 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 4632 4633The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 4634image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 4635address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 4816 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 4817 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 4818 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 4819 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 4820 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 4821 being started. 4822 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 4823 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 4824 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 4825 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 4826 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 4827 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 4828 4829 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 4830 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 4831 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 4832 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 4833 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 4834 a multiple of 4 bytes). 4835 4836 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 4837 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 4838 flash memory. 4839 4840 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 4841 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 4842 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 4843 as command interpreter. 4844 4845Booting the Linux zImage: 4846------------------------- 4847 4848On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 4849using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 4850as the syntax of "bootm" command. 4851 4852Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply 4853kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 4854address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 4855format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 4856 4857 4858Standalone HOWTO: 4859================= 4860 4861One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 4862run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 4863U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 4864 4865Two simple examples are included with the sources: 4866 4867"Hello World" Demo: 4868------------------- 4869 4870'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 4871application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 4872It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 4873like that: 4874 4875 => loads 4876 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4877 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 4878 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4879 [file transfer complete] 4880 [connected] 4881 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4882 4883 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 4904controlled by the following keys: 4905 4906 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 4907 b - enable interrupts and start timer 4908 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 4909 q - quit application 4910 4911 => loads 4912 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4913 ~>examples/timer.srec 4914 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4915 [file transfer complete] 4916 [connected] 4917 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4918 4919 => go 40004 4920 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 4921 TIMERS=0xfff00980 4922 Using timer 1 4923 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 4924 4925Hit 'b': 4926 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 4927 Enabling timer 4928Hit '?': 4929 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 4930 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 4931Hit '?': 4932 [q, b, e, ?] . 4933 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 4934Hit '?': 4935 [q, b, e, ?] . 4936 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 4937Hit '?': 4938 [q, b, e, ?] . 4939 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 4940Hit 'e': 4941 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 4942Hit 'q': 4943 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 4944 4945 4946Minicom warning: 4947================ 4948 4949Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 4950"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 4951consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 4952Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 4953especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 4954use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 4955http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 4956for help with kermit. 4957 4958 4959Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 4960configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 4961 4962 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 4979 4980 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 4981 # mkdir powerpc 4982 # ln -s powerpc machine 4983 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 4984 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 4985 4986Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 4987and U-Boot include files. 4988 4989Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 4990stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 4991proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 4992tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 4993meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 4994 4995 4996Implementation Internals: 4997========================= 4998 4999The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 5000implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 5001inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 5002hardware. 5003 5004 5005Initial Stack, Global Data: 5006--------------------------- 5007 5008The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 5009starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 5010system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 5011This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 5012is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 5013at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 5014options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 5015models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 5016MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 5017locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 5018 5019 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 5020 U-Boot mailing list: 5021 5022 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 5023 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 5024 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 5025 ... 5026 5027 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 5028 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 5029 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 5030 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 5031 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 5032 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 5033 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 5034 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 5035 5036 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 5037 is another option for the system designer to use as an 5038 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 5039 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 5040 board designers haven't used it for something that would 5041 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 5042 used. 5043 5044 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 5045 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 5046 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 5047 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 5048 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 5049 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 5050 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 5051 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 5052 you get the config right. 5053 5054 -Chris Hallinan 5055 DS4.COM, Inc. 5056 5057It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 5058code for the initialization procedures: 5059 5060* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 5061 to write it. 5062 5063* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 5064 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 5065 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 5066 5067* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 5068 that. 5069 5070Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 5071normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 5072turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 5073simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 5074functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 5075functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 5076the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 5077place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 5078reserve for this purpose. 5079 5080When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 5081relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 5082GCC's implementation. 5083 5084For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 5085 R1: stack pointer 5086 R2: reserved for system use 5087 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 5088 R5-R10: parameter passing 5089 R13: small data area pointer 5090 R30: GOT pointer 5091 R31: frame pointer 5092 5093 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 5094 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 5095 going back and forth between asm and C) 5096 5097 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 5098 5099 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 5100 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 5101 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 5102 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 5103 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 5104 624 text + 127 data). 5105 5106On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 5107 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 5108 5109 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 5110 5111On ARM, the following registers are used: 5112 5113 R0: function argument word/integer result 5114 R1-R3: function argument word 5115 R9: GOT pointer 5116 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 5117 R11: argument (frame) pointer 5118 R12: temporary workspace 5119 R13: stack pointer 5120 R14: link register 5121 R15: program counter 5122 5123 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 5124 5125On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 5126 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 5127 5128 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 5129 5130 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 5131 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 5132 5133On NDS32, the following registers are used: 5134 5135 R0-R1: argument/return 5136 R2-R5: argument 5137 R15: temporary register for assembler 5138 R16: trampoline register 5139 R28: frame pointer (FP) 5140 R29: global pointer (GP) 5141 R30: link register (LP) 5142 R31: stack pointer (SP) 5143 PC: program counter (PC) 5144 5145 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 5146 5147NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 5148or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 5149 5150Memory Management: 5151------------------ 5152 5153U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 5154MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 5155 5156The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 5157controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 5158memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 5159physical memory banks. 5160 5161U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 5162TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 5163booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 5164to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 5165memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 5166configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 5167Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 5168 5169Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 5170of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 5171 5172So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 5173this: 5174 5175 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 5176 : 5177 0x0000 1FFF 5178 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 5179 : 5180 : 5181 5182 : 5183 : 5184 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 5185 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 5186 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 5187 : 5188 0x00FD FFFF 5189 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 5190 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 5191 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 5192 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 5193 5194 5195System Initialization: 5196---------------------- 5197 5198In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 5199(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 5200configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 5201To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 5202To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 5203initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 5204which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 5205part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 5206the caches and the SIU. 5207 5208Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 5209preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 5210(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 5211on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 5212programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 5213simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 5214banks. 5215 5216When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 5217different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 5218bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 52190x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 5220contiguous memory starting from 0. 5221 5222Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 5223and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 5224Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 5225pages, and the final stack is set up. 5226 5227Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 5228until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 5229running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 5230new address in RAM. 5231 5232 5233U-Boot Porting Guide: 5234---------------------- 5235 5236[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 5237list, October 2002] 5238 5239 5240int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 5241{ 5242 sighandler_t no_more_time; 5243 5244 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 5245 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 5246 5247 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 5248 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 5249 return 0; 5250 } 5251 5252 Download latest U-Boot source; 5253 5254 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 5255 5256 if (clueless) 5257 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 5258 5259 while (learning) { 5260 Read the README file in the top level directory; 5261 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 5262 Read applicable doc/*.README; 5263 Read the source, Luke; 5264 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 5265 } 5266 5267 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 5268 Buy a BDI3000; 5269 else 5270 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 5271 5272 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 5273 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 5274 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5275 } else { 5276 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5277 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5278 } 5279 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5280 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5281 5282 while (!accepted) { 5283 while (!running) { 5284 do { 5285 Add / modify source code; 5286 } until (compiles); 5287 Debug; 5288 if (clueless) 5289 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5290 } 5291 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5292 if (reasonable critiques) 5293 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5294 else 5295 Defend code as written; 5296 } 5297 5298 return 0; 5299} 5300 5301void no_more_time (int sig) 5302{ 5303 hire_a_guru(); 5304} 5305 5306 5307Coding Standards: 5308----------------- 5309 5310All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5311coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5312"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5313 5314Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5315MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5316reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5317sources. 5318 5319Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5320Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5321in your code. 5322 5323Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5324- remove any trailing white space 5325- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5326- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5327- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5328- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5329 5330Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5331with a request to reformat the changes. 5332 5333 5334Submitting Patches: 5335------------------- 5336 5337Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5338establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5339may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5340 5341Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5342 5343Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5344see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5345 5346When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5347it: 5348 5349* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5350 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5351 patch actually fixes something. 5352 5353* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5354 implementation. 5355 5356* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5357 5358* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5359 5360* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 5361 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too. 5362 5363* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5364 document these in the README file. 5365 5366* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5367 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5368 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5369 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5370 with some other mail clients. 5371 5372 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5373 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5374 GNU diff. 5375 5376 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5377 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5378 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5379 affected files). 5380 5381 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5382 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5383 5384* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5385 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5386 5387* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5388 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5389 5390 5391Notes: 5392 5393* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5394 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5395 for any of the boards. 5396 5397* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5398 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5399 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5400 5401* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5402 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5403 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5404 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5405 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5406 modification. 5407 5408* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5409 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5410 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5411 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5412
