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 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 205 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 206 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 207 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 208 /lib Architecture specific library files 209 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 210 /cpu CPU specific files 211 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 212 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 213 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 214 /lib Architecture specific library files 215 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 216 /cpu CPU specific files 217 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 218 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 219 /lib Architecture specific library files 220/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 221/board Board dependent files 222/common Misc architecture independent functions 223/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 224/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 225/drivers Commonly used device drivers 226/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 227/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 228/include Header Files 229/lib Files generic to all architectures 230 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 231 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 232 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 233/net Networking code 234/post Power On Self Test 235/rtc Real Time Clock drivers 236/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 237 238Software Configuration: 239======================= 240 241Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 242rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 243 244There are two classes of configuration variables: 245 246* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 247 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 248 "CONFIG_". 249 250* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 251 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 252 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 253 "CONFIG_SYS_". 254 255Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 256identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 257do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 258links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 259as an example here. 260 261 262Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 263--------------------------------------------------- 264 265For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 266configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 267 268Example: For a TQM823L module type: 269 270 cd u-boot 271 make TQM823L_config 272 273For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 274e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 275directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 276 277 278Configuration Options: 279---------------------- 280 281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 282such information is kept in a configuration file 283"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 284 285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 286"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 287 288 289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 291build a config tool - later. 292 293 294The following options need to be configured: 295 296- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 297 298- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 299 300- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 301 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 302 303- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 304 Define exactly one of 305 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 306--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 307 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 308 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 309 310- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 311 Define exactly one of 312 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 313 314- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 315 Define one or more of 316 CONFIG_CMA302 317 318- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 319 Define one or more of 320 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 321 the LCD display every second with 322 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 323 324- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 325 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 326 Possible values are: 327 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 328 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 329 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 330 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 331 332- Marvell Family Member 333 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 334 multiple fs option at one time 335 for marvell soc family 336 337- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 338 Define exactly one of 339 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 340 341- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 342 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 343 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 344 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 345 reference PIT/RTC clock 346 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 347 or XTAL/EXTAL) 348 349- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 350 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 351 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 352 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 353 See doc/README.MPC866 354 355 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 356 357 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 358 of relying on the correctness of the configured 359 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 360 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 361 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 362 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 363 364 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 365 366 Define this option if you want to enable the 367 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 368 369- 85xx CPU Options: 370 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 371 372 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 373 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 374 compliance, among other possible reasons. 375 376 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 377 378 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 379 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 380 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 381 382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 383 384 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 385 tree nodes for the given platform. 386 387 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 388 389 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 390 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 391 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 392 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 393 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 394 purpose. 395 396 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 397 398 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 399 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 400 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 401 402 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 404 405 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 406 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 407 408 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 409 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 410 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 411 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 412 413 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 414 this erratum. 415 416 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 417 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 418 requred during NOR boot. 419 420 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 421 422 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 423 according to the A004510 workaround. 424 425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 426 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 427 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 428 429 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 430 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 431 432- Generic CPU options: 433 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 434 435 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 436 values is arch specific. 437 438- Intel Monahans options: 439 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 440 441 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 442 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 443 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 444 445 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 446 447 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 448 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 449 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 450 by this value. 451 452- MIPS CPU options: 453 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 454 455 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 456 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 457 relocation. 458 459 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 460 461 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 462 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 463 Possible values are: 464 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 465 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 466 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 467 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 468 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 469 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 470 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 471 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 472 473 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 474 475 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 476 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 477 478 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 479 480 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 481 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 482 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 483 484- ARM options: 485 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 486 487 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 488 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 489 490 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 491 492 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 493 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 494 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 495 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 496 GCC. 497 498 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 499 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 500 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 501 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 502 503 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 504 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 505 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 506 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 507 set these options unless they apply! 508 509- CPU timer options: 510 CONFIG_SYS_HZ 511 512 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). 513 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG 514 option must be set to 1000. 515 516- Linux Kernel Interface: 517 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 518 519 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 520 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 521 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 522 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 523 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 524 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 525 Linux kernel. 526 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 527 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 528 default environment. 529 530 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 531 532 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 533 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 534 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 535 536 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 537 538 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 539 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 540 concepts). 541 542 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 543 * New libfdt-based support 544 * Adds the "fdt" command 545 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 546 547 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 548 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 549 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 550 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 551 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 552 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 553 554 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 555 addresses 556 557 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 558 559 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 560 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 561 562 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 563 564 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 565 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 566 567 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 568 569 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 570 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 571 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 572 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 573 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 574 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 575 576 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 577 578 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 579 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 580 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 581 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 582 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 583 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 584 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 585 586- vxWorks boot parameters: 587 588 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 589 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 590 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 591 592 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 593 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 594 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 595 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 596 597 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 598 599 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 600 601 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 602 the defaults discussed just above. 603 604- Cache Configuration: 605 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 606 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 607 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 608 609- Cache Configuration for ARM: 610 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 611 controller 612 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 613 controller register space 614 615- Serial Ports: 616 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 617 618 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 619 620 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 621 622 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 623 624 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 625 626 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 627 the clock speed of the UARTs. 628 629 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 630 631 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 632 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 633 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 634 635 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 636 637 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 638 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 639 this variable to initialize the extra register. 640 641 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 642 643 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 644 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 645 variable to flush the UART at init time. 646 647 648- Console Interface: 649 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 650 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 651 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 652 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 653 654 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 655 port routines must be defined elsewhere 656 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 657 658 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 659 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 660 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 661 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 662 (default big endian) 663 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 664 rectangle fill 665 (cf. smiLynxEM) 666 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 667 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 668 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 669 (cols=pitch) 670 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 671 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 672 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 673 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 674 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 675 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 676 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 677 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 678 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 679 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 680 (i.e. i8042_getc) 681 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 682 (requires blink timer 683 cf. i8042.c) 684 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 685 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 686 upper right corner 687 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 688 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 689 upper left corner 690 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 691 linux_logo.h for logo. 692 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 693 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 694 additional board info beside 695 the logo 696 697 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 698 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 699 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 700 701 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 702 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 703 environment 'console=serial'. 704 705 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 706 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 707 the "silent" environment variable. See 708 doc/README.silent for more information. 709 710- Console Baudrate: 711 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 712 Select one of the baudrates listed in 713 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 714 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 715 716- Console Rx buffer length 717 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 718 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 719 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 720 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 721 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 722 the SMC. 723 724- Pre-Console Buffer: 725 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 726 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 727 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 728 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 729 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 730 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 731 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 732 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 733 earlier bytes are discarded. 734 735 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 736 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 737 738- Safe printf() functions 739 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 740 the printf() functions. These are defined in 741 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 742 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 743 If this option is not given then these functions will 744 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 745 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 746 747- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 748 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 749 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 750 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 751 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 752 753 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 754 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 755 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 756 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 759 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 761 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 762 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 763 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 764 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 765 766- Autoboot Command: 767 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 768 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 769 define a command string that is automatically executed 770 when no character is read on the console interface 771 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 772 773 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 774 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 775 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 776 environment value "bootargs". 777 778 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 779 The value of these goes into the environment as 780 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 781 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 782 RAM and NFS. 783 784- Pre-Boot Commands: 785 CONFIG_PREBOOT 786 787 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 788 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 789 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 790 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 791 entering interactive mode. 792 793 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 794 automatically generated or modified. For an example 795 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 796 modified when the user holds down a certain 797 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 798 booting the systems 799 800- Serial Download Echo Mode: 801 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 802 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 803 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 804 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 805 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 806 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 807 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 808 809- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 810 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 811 Select one of the baudrates listed in 812 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 813 814- Monitor Functions: 815 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 816 from the build by using the #include files 817 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 818 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 819 and augmenting with additional #define's 820 for wanted commands. 821 822 The default command configuration

write: 928 929 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 930 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 931 932 Other Commands: 933 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 934 935 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 936 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 937 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 938 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 939 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 940 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 941 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 942 initial stack and some data. 943 944 945 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 946 947- Regular expression support: 948 CONFIG_REGEX 949 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 950 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 951 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 952 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 953 954- Device tree: 955 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 956 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 957 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 958 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 959 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 960 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 961 962 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 963 be done using one of the two options below: 964 965 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 966 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 967 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 968 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 969 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 970 the global data structure as gd->blob. 971 972 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 973 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 974 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 975 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 976 977 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 978 979 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 980 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 981 still use the individual files if you need something more 982 exotic. 983 984- Watchdog: 985 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 986 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 987 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 988 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 989 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 990 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 991 available, then no further board specific code should 992 be needed to use it. 993 994 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 995 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 996 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 997 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 998 999- U-Boot Version: 1000 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 1001 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1002 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1003 version as printed by the "version" command. 1004 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1005 next reset. 1006 1007- Real-Time Clock: 1008 1009 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1010 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1011 following options: 1012 1013 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1014 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1015 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1016 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1017 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1018 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1019 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1020 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1021 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1022 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1023 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1024 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1025 RV3029 RTC. 1026 1027 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1028 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1029 1030- GPIO Support: 1031 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1032 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 1033 1034 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1035 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1036 pins supported by a particular chip. 1037 1038 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1039 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1040 1041- Timestamp Support: 1042 1043 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1044 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1045 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1046 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1047 1048- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1049 Zero or more of the following: 1050 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1051 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1052 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1053 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1054 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1055 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1056 disk/part_efi.c 1057 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1058 1059 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1060 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1061 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1062 1063- IDE Reset method: 1064 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1065 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1066 1067 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1068 be performed by calling the function 1069 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1070 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1071 1072- ATAPI Support: 1073 CONFIG_ATAPI 1074 1075 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1076 1077- LBA48 Support 1078 CONFIG_LBA48 1079 1080 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1081 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1082 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1083 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1084 1085 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1086 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1087 Default is 32bit. 1088 1089- SCSI Support: 1090 At the moment only there is only support for the 1091 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1092 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1093 1094 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1095 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1096 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1097 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1098 devices. 1099 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1100 1101 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1102 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1103 1104- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1105 CONFIG_E1000 1106 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1107 1108 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1109 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1110 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1111 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1112 1113 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1114 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1115 example with the "sspi" command. 1116 1117 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1118 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1119 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1120 1121 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1122 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1123 1124 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1125 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1126 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1127 write routine for first time initialisation. 1128 1129 CONFIG_TULIP 1130 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1131 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1132 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1133 1134 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1135 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1136 1137 CONFIG_NS8382X 1138 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1139 1140- NETWORK Support (other): 1141 1142 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1143 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1144 1145 CONFIG_RMII 1146 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1147 1148 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1149 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1150 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1151 1152 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1153 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1154 1155 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1156 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1157 1158 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1159 Define this to hold the physical address 1160 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1161 1162 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1163 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1164 1165 CONFIG_SMC91111 1166 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1167 1168 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1169 Define this to hold the physical address 1170 of the device (I/O space) 1171 1172 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1173 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1174 1175 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1176 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1177 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1178 1179 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1180 Support for davinci emac 1181 1182 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1183 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1184 1185 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1186 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1187 1188 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1189 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1190 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1191 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1192 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1193 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1194 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1195 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1196 1197 CONFIG_SMC911X 1198 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1199 1200 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1201 Define this to hold the physical address 1202 of the device (I/O space) 1203 1204 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1205 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1206 1207 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1208 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1209 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1210 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1211 1212 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1213 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1214 1215 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1216 Define the number of ports to be used 1217 1218 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1219 Define the ETH PHY's address 1220 1221 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1222 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1223 1224- TPM Support: 1225 CONFIG_TPM 1226 Support TPM devices. 1227 1228 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C 1229 Support for i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1230 per system is supported at this time. 1231 1232 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BUS_NUMBER 1233 Define the the i2c bus number for the TPM device 1234 1235 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 1236 Define the TPM's address on the i2c bus 1237 1238 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1239 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1240 1241 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI 1242 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. 1243 1244 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1245 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1246 per system is supported at this time. 1247 1248 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1249 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1250 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1251 0xfed40000. 1252 1253 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1254 Add tpm monitor functions. 1255 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1256 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1257 1258 CONFIG_TPM 1259 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1260 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1261 Requires support for a TPM device. 1262 1263 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1264 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1265 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1266 1267- USB Support: 1268 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1269 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1270 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1271 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1272 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1273 storage devices. 1274 Note: 1275 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1276 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1277 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1278 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1279 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1280 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1281 for USB on PSC3 1282 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1283 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1284 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1285 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1286 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1287 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1288 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1289 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1290 1291 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1292 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1293 1294 CONFIG_USB_HUB_MIN_POWER_ON_DELAY defines the minimum 1295 interval for usb hub power-on delay.(minimum 100msec) 1296 1297- USB Device: 1298 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1299 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1300 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1301 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1302 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1303 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1304 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1305 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1306 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1307 a Linux host by 1308 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1309 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1310 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1311 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1312 1313 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1314 Define this to build a UDC device 1315 1316 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1317 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1318 talk to the UDC device 1319 1320 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1321 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1322 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1323 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1324 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1325 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1326 speed. 1327 1328 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1329 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1330 be set to usbtty. 1331 1332 mpc8xx: 1333 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1334 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1335 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1336 1337 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1338 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1339 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1340 1341 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1342 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1343 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1344 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1345 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1346 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1347 1348 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1349 Define this string as the name of your company for 1350 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1351 1352 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1353 Define this string as the name of your product 1354 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1355 1356 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1357 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1358 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1359 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1360 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1361 1362 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1363 Define this as the unique Product ID 1364 for your device 1365 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1366 1367- ULPI Layer Support: 1368 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1369 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1370 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1371 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1372 viewport is supported. 1373 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1374 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1375 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1376 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1377 the appropriate value in Hz. 1378 1379- MMC Support: 1380 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1381 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1382 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1383 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1384 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1385 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1386 1387 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1388 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1389 1390 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1391 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1392 1393 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1394 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1395 1396- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1397 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1398 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1399 1400 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1401 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1402 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1403 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1404 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1405 1406 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1407 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1408 1409 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1410 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1411 1412 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1413 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1414 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1415 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1416 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1417 1418 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1419 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1420 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1421 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1422 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1423 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1424 1425- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1426 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1427 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1428 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1429 1430 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1431 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1432 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1433 1434 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1435 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1436 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1437 1438 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1439 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1440 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1441 have not defined a custom partition 1442 1443- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1444 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1445 1446 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1447 file in FAT formatted partition. 1448 1449 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1450 user to write files to FAT. 1451 1452CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1453 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1454 1455 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1456 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1457 and cbfsload. 1458 1459- Keyboard Support: 1460 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1461 1462 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1463 support 1464 1465 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1466 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1467 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1468 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1469 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1470 1471 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1472 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1473 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1474 which provides key scans on request. 1475 1476- Video support: 1477 CONFIG_VIDEO 1478 1479 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1480 video). 1481 1482 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1483 1484 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1485 1486 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1487 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1488 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1489 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1490 assumed. 1491 1492 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1493 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1494 are possible: 1495 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1496 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1497 1498 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1499 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1500 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1501 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1502 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1503 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1504 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1505 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1506 1507 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1508 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1509 1510 1511 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1512 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1513 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1514 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1515 1516 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1517 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1518 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1519 support, and should also define these other macros: 1520 1521 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1522 CONFIG_VIDEO 1523 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1524 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1525 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1526 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1527 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1528 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1529 1530 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1531 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1532 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1533 description of this variable. 1534 1535 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1536 1537 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1538 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1539 driver. 1540 1541 1542- Keyboard Support: 1543 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1544 1545 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1546 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1547 defined in your board-specific files. 1548 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1549 1550- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1551 1552 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1553 display); also select one of the supported displays 1554 by defining one of these: 1555 1556 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1557 1558 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1559 1560 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1561 1562 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1563 1564 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1565 1566 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1567 Active, color, single scan. 1568 1569 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1570 1571 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1572 Active, color, single scan. 1573 1574 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1575 1576 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1577 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1578 1579 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1580 1581 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1582 Active, color, single scan. 1583 1584 CONFIG_HLD1045 1585 1586 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1587 Active, color, single scan. 1588 1589 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1590 1591 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1592 or 1593 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1594 or 1595 Hitachi SP14Q002 1596 1597 320x240. Black & white. 1598 1599 Normally display is black on white background; define 1600 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1601 1602 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1603 1604 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1605 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1606 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1607 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1608 a per-section basis. 1609 1610 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1611 1612 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1613 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1614 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1615 is slow. 1616 1617 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1618 1619 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1620 1621 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1622 1623 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1624 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1625 1626- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1627 1628 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1629 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1630 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1631 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1632 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1633 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1634 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1635 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1636 1637 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1638 1639 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1640 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1641 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses). 1642 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1643 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1644 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1645 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1646 there is no need to set this option. 1647 1648 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1649 1650 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1651 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1652 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1653 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1654 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1655 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1656 1657 Example: 1658 setenv splashpos m,m 1659 => image at center of screen 1660 1661 setenv splashpos 30,20 1662 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1663 1664 setenv splashpos -10,m 1665 => vertically centered image 1666 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1667 1668- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1669 1670 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1671 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1672 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1673 1674- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1675 1676 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1677 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1678 bmp command. 1679 1680- Do compresssing for memory range: 1681 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1682 1683 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1684 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1685 1686- Compression support: 1687 CONFIG_BZIP2 1688 1689 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1690 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1691 compressed images are supported. 1692 1693 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1694 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1695 be at least 4MB. 1696 1697 CONFIG_LZMA 1698 1699 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1700 images is included. 1701 1702 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1703 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1704 formula: 1705 1706 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1707 1708 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1709 and Literal pos bits. 1710 1711 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1712 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1713 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1714 a very small buffer. 1715 1716 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1717 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1718 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1719 1720- MII/PHY support: 1721 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1722 1723 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1724 1725 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1726 1727 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1728 1729 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1730 1731 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1732 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1733 1734 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1735 1736 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1737 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1738 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1739 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1740 1741 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1742 1743 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1744 command issued before MII status register can be read 1745 1746- Ethernet address: 1747 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1748 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1749 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1750 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1751 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1752 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1753 1754 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1755 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1756 is not determined automatically. 1757 1758- IP address: 1759 CONFIG_IPADDR 1760 1761 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1762 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1763 determined through e.g. bootp. 1764 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1765 1766- Server IP address: 1767 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1768 1769 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1770 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1771 (Environment variable "serverip") 1772 1773 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1774 1775 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1776 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1777 1778- Gateway IP address: 1779 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1780 1781 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1782 default router where packets to other networks are 1783 sent to. 1784 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1785 1786- Subnet mask: 1787 CONFIG_NETMASK 1788 1789 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1790 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1791 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1792 forwarded through a router. 1793 (Environment variable "netmask") 1794 1795- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1796 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1797 1798 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1799 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1800 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1801 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1802 multicast group. 1803 1804- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1805 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1806 1807 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1808 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1809 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1810 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1811 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1812 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1813 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1814 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1815 following delays are inserted then: 1816 1817 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1818 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1819 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1820 4th and following 1821 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1822 1823- DHCP Advanced Options: 1824 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1825 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1826 1827 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1828 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1829 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1830 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1831 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1832 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1833 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1834 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1835 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1836 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1837 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1838 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1839 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1840 1841 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1842 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1843 1844 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1845 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1846 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1847 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1848 is not available. 1849 1850 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1851 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1852 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1853 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1854 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1855 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1856 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1857 is defined. 1858 1859 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1860 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1861 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1862 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1863 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1864 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1865 1866 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1867 1868 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1869 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1870 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1871 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1872 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1873 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1874 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1875 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1876 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1877 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1878 this delay. 1879 1880 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1881 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1882 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1883 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1884 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1885 1886 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1887 1888 - CDP Options: 1889 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1890 1891 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1892 1893 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1894 1895 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1896 of the device. 1897 1898 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1899 1900 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1901 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1902 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1903 1904 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1905 1906 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1907 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1908 1909 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1910 1911 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1912 1913 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1914 1915 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1916 1917 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1918 1919 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1920 1921 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1922 1923 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1924 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1925 1926 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1927 1928 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1929 1930- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1931 1932 Several configurations allow to display the current 1933 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1934 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1935 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1936 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1937 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1938 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1939 feature in U-Boot. 1940 1941- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1942 1943 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1944 on those systems that support this (optional) 1945 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1946 1947- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 1948 1949 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of 1950 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will 1951 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. 1952 1953 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 1954 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 1955 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 1956 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 1957 command line interface. 1958 1959 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 1960 1961 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka 1962 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware 1963 support for I2C. 1964 1965 There are several other quantities that must also be 1966 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. 1967 1968 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 1969 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 1970 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 1971 the CPU's i2c node address). 1972 1973 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 1974 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 1975 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 1976 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 1977 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 1978 1979 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 1980 1981 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1982 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1983 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 1984 commands until the slave device responds. 1985 1986 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 1987 1988 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) 1989 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1990 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1991 1992 I2C_INIT 1993 1994 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1995 controller or configure ports. 1996 1997 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1998 1999 I2C_PORT 2000 2001 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2002 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2003 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2004 2005 I2C_ACTIVE 2006 2007 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2008 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2009 define can be null. 2010 2011 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2012 2013 I2C_TRISTATE 2014 2015 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2016 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2017 define can be null. 2018 2019 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2020 2021 I2C_READ 2022 2023 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2024 false if it is low. 2025 2026 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2027 2028 I2C_SDA(bit) 2029 2030 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2031 is false, it clears it (low). 2032 2033 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2034 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2035 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2036 2037 I2C_SCL(bit) 2038 2039 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2040 is false, it clears it (low). 2041 2042 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2043 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2044 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2045 2046 I2C_DELAY 2047 2048 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2049 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2050 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2051 like: 2052 2053 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2054 2055 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2056 2057 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2058 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2059 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2060 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2061 2062 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2063 the generic GPIO functions. 2064 2065 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2066 2067 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2068 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2069 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2070 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2071 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2072 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2073 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2074 is run early in the boot sequence. 2075 2076 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2077 2078 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2079 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2080 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2081 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2082 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2083 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2084 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2085 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2086 2087 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2088 2089 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2090 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2091 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2092 2093 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2094 2095 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2096 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2097 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2098 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2099 2100 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2101 2102 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2103 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2104 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2105 a 1D array of device addresses 2106 2107 e.g. 2108 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2109 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2110 2111 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2112 2113 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2114 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2115 2116 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2117 2118 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2119 2120 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2121 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2122 2123 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2124 2125 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2126 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2127 2128 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2129 2130 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2131 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2132 2133 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2134 2135 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2136 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2137 specified DTT device. 2138 2139 CONFIG_FSL_I2C 2140 2141 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in 2142 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. 2143 2144 CONFIG_I2C_MUX 2145 2146 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n 2147 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C 2148 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a 2149 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the 2150 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for 2151 the muxes to activate this new "bus". 2152 2153 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this 2154 feature! 2155 2156 Example: 2157 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes 2158 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 2159 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 2160 2161 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 2162 2163 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list 2164 of I2C Busses with muxes: 2165 2166 => i2c bus 2167 Busses reached over muxes: 2168 Bus ID: 2 2169 reached over Mux(es): 2170 pca9544a@70 ch: 4 2171 Bus ID: 3 2172 reached over Mux(es): 2173 pca9544a@70 ch: 6 2174 pca9544a@71 ch: 4 2175 => 2176 2177 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" 2178 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable 2179 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable 2180 the channel 4. 2181 2182 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as 2183 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind 2184 the 2 muxes. 2185 2186 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging 2187 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C 2188 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult 2189 to add this option to other architectures. 2190 2191 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2192 2193 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2194 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2195 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2196 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2197 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2198 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2199 the other. 2200 2201- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2202 2203 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2204 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2205 D/As on the SACSng board) 2206 2207 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2208 2209 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2210 only SH7757 is supported. 2211 2212 CONFIG_SPI_X 2213 2214 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2215 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2216 2217 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2218 2219 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2220 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2221 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2222 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2223 defined, the board configuration must define several 2224 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2225 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2226 2227 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2228 2229 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2230 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2231 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2232 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2233 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2234 2235 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2236 2237 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2238 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2239 2240- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2241 2242 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2243 2244 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2245 2246 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2247 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2248 2249 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2250 2251 Enables support for FPGA family. 2252 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2253 2254 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2255 2256 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2257 2258 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2259 2260 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2261 2262 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2263 2264 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2265 status by the configuration function. This option 2266 will require a board or device specific function to 2267 be written. 2268 2269 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2270 2271 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2272 configuration driver. 2273 2274 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2275 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2276 2277 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2278 2279 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2280 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2281 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2282 indicated a CRC error). 2283 2284 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2285 2286 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2287 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2288 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2289 ms. 2290 2291 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2292 2293 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2294 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2295 2296 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2297 2298 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2299 200 ms. 2300 2301- Configuration Management: 2302 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2303 2304 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2305 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2306 2307- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2308 2309 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2310 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2311 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2312 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2313 protects these variables from casual modification by 2314 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2315 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2316 change this behaviour: 2317 2318 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2319 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2320 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2321 these parameters. 2322 2323 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2324 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2325 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2326 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2327 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2328 read-only.] 2329 2330 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2331 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2332 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2333 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2334 2335- Protected RAM: 2336 CONFIG_PRAM 2337 2338 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2339 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2340 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2341 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2342 this default value by defining an environment 2343 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2344 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2345 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2346 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2347 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2348 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2349 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2350 2351 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2352 saveenv 2353 2354 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2355 either, which results in a memory region that will 2356 not be affected by reboots. 2357 2358 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2359 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2360 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2361 following board configurations are known to be 2362 "pRAM-clean": 2363 2364 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2365 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2366 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2367 2368- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2369 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2370 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2371 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2372 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2373 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2374 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2375 2376- Error Recovery: 2377 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2378 2379 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2380 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2381 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2382 system where you want the system to reboot 2383 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2384 useful during development since you can try to debug 2385 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2386 2387 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2388 2389 This variable defines the number of retries for 2390 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2391 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2392 default value of 5 is used. 2393 2394 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2395 2396 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2397 2398 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2399 2400 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2401 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2402 try longer timeout such as 2403 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2404 2405- Command Interpreter: 2406 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2407 2408 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2409 2410 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2411 for the "hush" shell. 2412 2413 2414 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2415 2416 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2417 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2418 powerful command line syntax like 2419 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2420 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2421 2422 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2423 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2424 2425 2426 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2427 2428 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2429 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2430 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2431 2432 Note: 2433 2434 In the current implementation, the local variables 2435 space and global environment variables space are 2436 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2437 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2438 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2439 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2440 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2441 2442 Global environment variables are those you use 2443 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2444 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2445 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2446 2447 To store commands and special characters in a 2448 variable, please use double quotation marks 2449 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2450 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2451 symbols. 2452 2453- Commandline Editing and History: 2454 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2455 2456 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2457 commandline input operations 2458 2459- Default Environment: 2460 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2461 2462 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2463 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2464 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2465 2466 For example, place something like this in your 2467 board's config file: 2468 2469 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2470 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2471 "myvar2=value2\0" 2472 2473 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2474 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2475 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2476 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2477 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2478 You better know what you are doing here. 2479 2480 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2481 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2482 the environment like the "source" command or the 2483 boot command first. 2484 2485 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2486 2487 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2488 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2489 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2490 2491 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2492 2493 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2494 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2495 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2496 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2497 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2498 2499 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2500 2501 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2502 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2503 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2504 2505 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2506 2507 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2508 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2509 that so that the environment is not available until 2510 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2511 this is instead controlled by the value of 2512 /config/load-environment. 2513 2514- DataFlash Support: 2515 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2516 2517 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2518 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2519 commands cp, md... 2520 2521- Serial Flash support 2522 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2523 2524 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2525 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2526 2527 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2528 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2529 commands. 2530 2531 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2532 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2533 flash is present on the system. 2534 2535 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2536 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2537 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2538 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2539 2540 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2541 2542 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2543 test ('sf test'). 2544 2545 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg 2546 2547 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr 2548 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. 2549 2550- SystemACE Support: 2551 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2552 2553 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2554 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2555 of the chip must also be defined in the 2556 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2557 2558 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2559 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2560 2561 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2562 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2563 2564- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2565 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2566 2567 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2568 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2569 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2570 number generator is used. 2571 2572 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2573 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2574 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2575 2576 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2577 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2578 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2579 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2580 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2581 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2582 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2583 2584- Hashing support: 2585 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 2586 2587 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 2588 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 2589 2590 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 2591 2592 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 2593 size a little. 2594 2595 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 2596 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 2597 2598 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 2599 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 2600 2601- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 2602 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 2603 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 2604 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 2605 2606 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 2607 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 2608 a boot from specific media. 2609 2610 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 2611 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 2612 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 2613 will set it back to normal. This command currently 2614 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 2615 2616- Signing support: 2617 CONFIG_RSA 2618 2619 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 2620 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information. 2621 2622 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 2623 option. 2624 2625 2626- Show boot progress: 2627 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2628 2629 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2630 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2631 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2632 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2633 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2634 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2635 2636- Detailed boot stage timing 2637 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 2638 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 2639 of the boot process. 2640 2641 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 2642 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 2643 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 2644 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 2645 the limit, recording will stop. 2646 2647 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 2648 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 2649 2650 Timer summary in microseconds: 2651 Mark Elapsed Stage 2652 0 0 reset 2653 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 2654 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 2655 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 2656 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 2657 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 2658 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 2659 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 2660 2661 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 2662 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 2663 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 2664 2665 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 2666 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 2667 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 2668 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 2669 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 2670 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 2671 For example: 2672 2673 bootstage { 2674 154 { 2675 name = "board_init_f"; 2676 mark = <3575678>; 2677 }; 2678 170 { 2679 name = "lcd"; 2680 accum = <33482>; 2681 }; 2682 }; 2683 2684 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 2685 2686Legacy uImage format: 2687 2688 Arg Where When 2689 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 2690 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

CONFIG_FIT 2841 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 2842 2843 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 2844 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 2845 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 2846 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 2847 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 2848 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 2849 2850 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 2851 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 2852 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See 2853 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 2854 2855- Standalone program support: 2856 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2857 2858 This option defines a board specific value for the 2859 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2860 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2861 settings. 2862 2863- Frame Buffer Address: 2864 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2865 2866 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2867 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 2868 when using a graphics controller has separate video 2869 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 2870 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 2871 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 2872 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 2873 configured panel size. 2874 2875 Please see board_init_f function. 2876 2877- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2878 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2879 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2880 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2881 2882 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2883 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2884 2885- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2886 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2887 2888 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2889 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2890 2891 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2892 2893 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2894 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 2895 2896- UBI support 2897 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 2898 2899 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 2900 with the UBI flash translation layer 2901 2902 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 2903 2904 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 2905 2906 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 2907 warnings and errors enabled. 2908 2909- UBIFS support 2910 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 2911 2912 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 2913 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 2914 2915 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 2916 2917 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 2918 2919 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 2920 warnings and errors enabled. 2921 2922- SPL framework 2923 CONFIG_SPL 2924 Enable building of SPL globally. 2925 2926 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 2927 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 2928 2929 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 2930 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 2931 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 2932 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 2933 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2934 must not be both defined at the same time. 2935 2936 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 2937 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 2938 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 2939 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 2940 not exceed it. 2941 2942 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 2943 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 2944 2945 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 2946 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 2947 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 2948 2949 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 2950 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 2951 2952 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2953 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 2954 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 2955 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 2956 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2957 must not be both defined at the same time. 2958 2959 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 2960 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 2961 2962 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 2963 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 2964 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 2965 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 2966 2967 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 2968 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 2969 2970 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 2971 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 2972 2973 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 2974 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 2975 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 2976 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 2977 2978 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 2979 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 2980 about the running system. 2981 2982 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 2983 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 2984 2985 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 2986 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 2987 2988 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 2989 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 2990 2991 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 2992 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 2993 2994 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 2995 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 2996 2997 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 2998 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 2999 3000 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3001 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3002 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FAT_BOOT_PARTITION 3003 Address, size and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3004 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3005 3006 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3007 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3008 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3009 3010 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3011 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3012 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3013 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3014 (for falcon mode) 3015 3016 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3017 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3018 3019 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3020 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from FAT 3021 3022 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3023 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3024 from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3025 3026 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3027 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3028 when reading from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3029 3030 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3031 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3032 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3033 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3034 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3035 3036 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3037 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3038 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3039 3040 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3041 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3042 3043 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3044 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3045 3046 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3047 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3048 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3049 3050 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3051 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3052 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3053 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3054 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3055 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3056 to read U-Boot 3057 3058 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3059 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3060 3061 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3062 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3063 3064 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3065 Size of image to load 3066 3067 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3068 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3069 3070 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3071 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3072 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 3073 3074 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3075 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3076 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3077 3078 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3079 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3080 3081 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3082 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3083 3084 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3085 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3086 3087 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3088 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3089 3090 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3091 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3092 3093 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3094 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3095 3096 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3097 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3098 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3099 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3100 3101 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3102 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3103 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3104 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3105 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3106 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3107 3108 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3109 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3110 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3111 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3112 3113 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3114 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3115 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3116 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3117 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3118 3119Modem Support: 3120-------------- 3121 3122[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3123 3124- Modem support enable: 3125 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3126 3127- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3128 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3129 3130- Modem debug support: 3131 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3132 3133 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3134 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3135 3136- Interrupt support (PPC): 3137 3138 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3139 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3140 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3141 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3142 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3143 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3144 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3145 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3146 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3147 general timer_interrupt(). 3148 3149- General: 3150 3151 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3152 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3153 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3154 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3155 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3156 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3157 initialization. 3158 3159 If there are no modem init strings in the 3160 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3161 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3162 suppressed, though. 3163 3164 See also: doc/README.Modem 3165 3166Board initialization settings: 3167------------------------------ 3168 3169During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3170to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3171before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3172following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3173architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3174typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3175 3176- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3177- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3178- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3179- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3180 3181Configuration Settings: 3182----------------------- 3183 3184- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3185 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3186 3187- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3188 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3189 3190- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3191 prompt for user input. 3192 3193- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3194 3195- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3196 3197- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3198 3199- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3200 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3201 booted 3202 3203- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3204 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3205 3206- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3207 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3208 3209- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3210 If the board specific function 3211 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3212 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3213 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3214 3215- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3216 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3217 3218- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3219 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3220 3221- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3222 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3223 simple memory test. 3224 3225- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3226 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3227 3228- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3229 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3230 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3231 3232- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3233 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3234 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3235 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3236 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3237 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3238 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3239 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3240 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3241 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3242 3243 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3244 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3245 be touched. 3246 3247 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3248 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3249 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3250 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3251 problems. 3252 3253- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3254 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3255 3256- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3257 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3258 3259- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3260 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3261 Cogent motherboard) 3262 3263- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3264 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3265 3266- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3267 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3268 make config files to be same as the text base address 3269 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3270 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3271 3272- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3273 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3274 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3275 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3276 flash sector. 3277 3278- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3279 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3280 3281- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3282 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3283 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3284 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3285 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3286 3287- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3288 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3289 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3290 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3291 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3292 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3293 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3294 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3295 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3296 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3297 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3298 3299- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3300 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3301 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3302 is enabled. 3303 3304- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3305 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3306 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3307 3308- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3309 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3310 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3311 3312- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3313 Max number of Flash memory banks 3314 3315- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3316 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3317 3318- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3319 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3320 3321- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3322 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3323 3324- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3325 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3326 3327- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3328 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3329 3330- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3331 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3332 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3333 3334- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3335 3336 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3337 without this option such a download has to be 3338 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3339 copy from RAM to flash. 3340 3341 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3342 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3343 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3344 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3345 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3346 3347- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3348 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3349 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3350 3351- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3352 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3353 in the drivers directory 3354 3355- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3356 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3357 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3358 to the MTD layer. 3359 3360- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3361 Use buffered writes to flash. 3362 3363- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3364 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3365 write commands. 3366 3367- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3368 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3369 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3370 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3371 optionally available. 3372 3373- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3374 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3375 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3376 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3377 3378- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 3379 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 3380 against the source after the write operation. An error message 3381 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 3382 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 3383 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 3384 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 3385 this option if you really know what you are doing. 3386 3387- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3388 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3389 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3390 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3391 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3392 on high Ethernet traffic. 3393 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3394 3395- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3396 3397 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3398 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3399 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3400 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3401 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3402 3403- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3404- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3405 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when 3406 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3407 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3408 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3409 3410 The format of the list is: 3411 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3412 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3413 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3414 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3415 list = entry[,list] 3416 3417 The type attributes are: 3418 s - String (default) 3419 d - Decimal 3420 x - Hexadecimal 3421 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3422 i - IP address 3423 m - MAC address 3424 3425 The access attributes are: 3426 a - Any (default) 3427 r - Read-only 3428 o - Write-once 3429 c - Change-default 3430 3431 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3432 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3433 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3434 3435 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3436 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3437 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3438 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 3439 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 3440 ".flags" variable. 3441 3442- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 3443 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 3444 access flags. 3445 3446- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 3447 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 3448 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 3449 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 3450 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 3451 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 3452 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 3453 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 3454 your board please report the problem and send patches! 3455 3456- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS 3457 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols 3458 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an 3459 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than 3460 directly. You should not need to touch this setting. 3461 3462- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 3463 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 3464 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 3465 the value can be calulated on a given board. 3466 3467The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 3468of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 3469following configurations: 3470 3471- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 3472 3473 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 3474 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 3475 3476- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 3477 3478 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 3479 3480 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 3481 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 3482 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 3483 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 3484 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 3485 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 3486 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 3487 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 3488 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 3489 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 3490 between U-Boot and the environment. 3491 3492 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3493 3494 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 3495 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 3496 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 3497 for this sector is given here. 3498 3499 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 3500 3501 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3502 3503 This is just another way to specify the start address of 3504 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 3505 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 3506 3507 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 3508 3509 Size of the sector containing the environment. 3510 3511 3512 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 3513 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 3514 the environment. 3515 3516 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3517 3518 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 3519 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 3520 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 3521 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 3522 3523 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 3524 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 3525 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 3526 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 3527 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 3528 updating the environment in flash makes it always 3529 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 3530 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 3531 RAM, your target system will be dead. 3532 3533 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 3534 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 3535 3536 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 3537 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 3538 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 3539 a "saveenv" operation. 3540 3541BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 3542source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 3543accordingly! 3544 3545 3546- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 3547 3548 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 3549 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 3550 environment. 3551 3552 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3553 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3554 3555 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 3556 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 3557 can just be read and written to, without any special 3558 provision. 3559 3560BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3561in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3562console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3563U-Boot will hang. 3564 3565Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3566environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3567keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3568to save the current settings. 3569 3570 3571- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 3572 3573 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 3574 device and a driver for it. 3575 3576 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3577 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3578 3579 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 3580 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 3581 3582 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 3583 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 3584 The default address is zero. 3585 3586 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 3587 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 3588 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 3589 would require six bits. 3590 3591 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 3592 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 3593 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 3594 3595 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 3596 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 3597 that this is NOT the chip address length! 3598 3599 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 3600 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 3601 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 3602 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 3603 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 3604 byte chips. 3605 3606 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 3607 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 3608 in the chip address. 3609 3610 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 3611 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 3612 3613 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 3614 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 3615 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 3616 3617 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 3618 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 3619 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 3620 EEPROM. For example: 3621 3622 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0" 3623 3624 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 3625 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 3626 3627- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 3628 3629 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 3630 want to use for the environment. 3631 3632 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3633 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3634 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3635 3636 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 3637 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 3638 at the specified address. 3639 3640- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 3641 3642 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 3643 want to use for the local device's environment. 3644 3645 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3646 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3647 3648 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 3649 environment area within the remote memory space. The 3650 local device can get the environment from remote memory 3651 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 3652 3653BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3654"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3655environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3656but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3657 3658- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 3659 3660 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 3661 for the environment. 3662 3663 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3664 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3665 3666 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3667 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 3668 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3669 3670 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3671 3672 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 3673 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 3674 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 3675 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 3676 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3677 3678 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 3679 3680 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 3681 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 3682 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 3683 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 3684 the range to be avoided. 3685 3686 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 3687 3688 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 3689 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 3690 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 3691 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 3692 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 3693 3694- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3695 3696 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3697 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3698 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3699 3700- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 3701 3702 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 3703 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 3704 accesses, which is important on NAND. 3705 3706 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 3707 3708 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 3709 3710 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 3711 3712 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 3713 environment in. 3714 3715 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 3716 3717 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 3718 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 3719 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 3720 3721 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3722 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3723 3724 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 3725 when storing the env in UBI. 3726 3727- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 3728 3729 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 3730 environment. 3731 3732 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 3733 3734 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 3735 3736 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 3737 3738 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 3739 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 3740 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 3741 3742 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3743 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3744 3745 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3746 area within the specified MMC device. 3747 3748 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 3749 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 3750 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 3751 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 3752 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 3753 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 3754 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 3755 3756 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 3757 MMC sector boundary. 3758 3759 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3760 3761 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 3762 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 3763 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 3764 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 3765 3766 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 3767 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 3768 3769 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 3770 an MMC sector boundary. 3771 3772 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 3773 3774 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 3775 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 3776 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3777 3778- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 3779 3780 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 3781 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 3782 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 3783 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 3784 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 3785 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 3786 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 3787 3788Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3789has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3790created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 3791until then to read environment variables. 3792 3793The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3794is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3795with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3796necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3797"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3798have any device yet where we could complain.] 3799 3800Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3801the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3802use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3803 3804- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3805 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3806 3807 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3808 also needs to be defined. 3809 3810- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3811 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3812 3813- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3814 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3815 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3816 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3817 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3818 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3819 3820- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 3821 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 3822 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 3823 to do this. 3824 3825- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 3826 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 3827 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 3828 present. 3829 3830Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3831--------------------------------------------------- 3832 3833- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3834 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3835 3836- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 3837 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 3838 3839 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 3840 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 3841 the IMMR register after a reset. 3842 3843- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 3844 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 3845 PowerPC SOCs. 3846 3847- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 3848 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 3849 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 3850 3851 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 3852 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 3853 3854- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 3855 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 3856 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 3857 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 3858 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 3859 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 3860 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 3861 3862 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 3863 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 3864 3865- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 3866 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 3867 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 3868 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3869 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3870 3871- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 3872 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 3873 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3874 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3875 3876- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 3877 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 3878 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 3879 3880- Floppy Disk Support: 3881 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 3882 3883 the default drive number (default value 0) 3884 3885 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 3886 3887 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 3888 (default value 1) 3889 3890 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 3891 3892 defines the offset of register from address. It 3893 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 3894 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 3895 3896 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 3897 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 3898 default value. 3899 3900 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 3901 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 3902 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 3903 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 3904 initializations. 3905 3906- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 3907 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 3908 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 3909 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 3910 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 3911 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 3912 is requierd. 3913 3914- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 3915 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 3916 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 3917 3918- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 3919 3920 Start address of memory area that can be used for 3921 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 3922 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 3923 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 3924 will become available only after programming the 3925 memory controller and running certain initialization 3926 sequences. 3927 3928 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 3929 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 3930 - MPC824X: data cache 3931 - PPC4xx: data cache 3932 3933- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 3934 3935 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 3936 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 3937 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 3938 data is located at the end of the available space 3939 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 3940 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 3941 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 3942 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 3943 3944 Note: 3945 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 3946 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 3947 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 3948 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 3949 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 3950 3951- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 3952 3953- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 3954 3955- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 3956 3957- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 3958 3959- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 3960 3961- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 3962 3963- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 3964 SDRAM timing 3965 3966- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 3967 periodic timer for refresh 3968 3969- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 3970 3971- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 3972 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 3973 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 3974 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 3975 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 3976 3977- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 3978 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 3979 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 3980 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 3981 3982- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 3983 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 3984 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 3985 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 3986 3987- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3988 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3989 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 3990 3991- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3992 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3993 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 3994 3995- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3996 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3997 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 3998 3999- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4000 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board.

Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4029 by coreboot or similar. 4030 4031- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4032 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4033 4034- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4035 Chip has SRIO or not 4036 4037- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4038 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4039 4040- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4041 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4042 4043- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4044 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4045 4046- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4047 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4048 4049- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4050 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4051 4052- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4053 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4054 4055- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4056 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4057 a 16 bit bus. 4058 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4059 Example of drivers that use it: 4060 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4061 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4062 4063- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4064 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4065 a default value will be used. 4066 4067- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4068 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4069 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4070 4071 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4072 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4073 4074- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4075 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4076 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4077 to something your driver can deal with. 4078 4079- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4080 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4081 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4082 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4083 header files or board specific files. 4084 4085- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4086 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4087 4088- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4089 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4090 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4091 4092- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4093 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4094 4095- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4096 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4097 to the given FEC; i. e. 4098 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4099 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4100 4101 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4102 4103- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4104 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4105 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4106 4107- CONFIG_RMII 4108 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4109 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4110 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4111 4112- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4113 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4114 The syntax is: 4115 4116 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4117 4118 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4119 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4120 area should have. 4121 4122- CONFIG_LOOPW 4123 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4124 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4125 4126- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4127 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4128 "md/mw" commands. 4129 Examples: 4130 4131 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4132 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4133 4134 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4135 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4136 4137 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4138 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4139 4140- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4141 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4142 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4143 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4144 relocate itself into RAM. 4145 4146 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4147 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4148 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4149 these initializations itself. 4150 4151- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4152 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4153 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4154 compiling a NAND SPL. 4155 4156- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4157 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4158 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4159 previous 4k of the .text section. 4160 4161- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4162 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4163 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4164 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4165 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4166 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4167 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4168 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4169 4170- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4171 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4172 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4173 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4174 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4175 4176- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4177 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4178 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4179 4180- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4181 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4182 4183 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4184 4185Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4186----------------------------------- 4187 4188The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4189loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4190This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4191are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4192within that device. 4193 4194- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 4195 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 4196 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4197 is also specified. 4198 4199- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 4200 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4201 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4202 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4203 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4204 4205- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 4206 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4207 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 4208 virtual address in NOR flash. 4209 4210- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 4211 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 4212 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 4213 4214- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4215 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4216 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4217 4218- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4219 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4220 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4221 4222- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4223 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4224 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4225 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4226 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4227 master's memory space. 4228 4229Building the Software: 4230====================== 4231 4232Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4233and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4234all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4235(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4236recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4237which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4238 4239If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4240have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4241you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4242Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4243necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4244 4245 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4246 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4247 4248Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4249 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4250 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4251 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4252 4253 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4254 4255 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4256 be executed on computers running Windows. 4257 4258U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4259sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4260is done by typing: 4261 4262 make NAME_config 4263 4264where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4265rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4266 4267Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4268 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4269 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4270 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4271 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4272 4273 make TQM823L_config 4274 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4275 4276 make TQM823L_LCD_config 4277 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4278 4279 etc. 4280 4281 4282Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4283images ready for download to / installation on your system: 4284 4285- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 4286- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 4287- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 4288 4289By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 4290in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 4291this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 4292 42931. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 4294 4295 make O=/tmp/build distclean 4296 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 4297 make O=/tmp/build all 4298 42992. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 4300 4301 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4302 make distclean 4303 make NAME_config 4304 make all 4305 4306Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 4307variable. 4308 4309 4310Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 4311for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 4312native "make". 4313 4314 4315If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 4316to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 4317steps: 4318 43191. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 4320 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 4321 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 43222. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 4323 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 4324 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 43253. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 4326 your board 43273. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 4328 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 43294. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 43305. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 4331 to be installed on your target system. 43326. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 4333 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 4334 4335 4336Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 4337============================================================== 4338 4339If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 4340or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 4341provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 4342the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 4343official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 4344 4345But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 4346cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 4347the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 4348just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 4349for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 4350select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 4351environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 4352you can type 4353 4354 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4355 4356or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 4357 4358 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 4359 4360When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 4361U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 4362setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 4363built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 4364<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 4365location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 4366variable. For example: 4367 4368 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4369 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 4370 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4371 4372With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 4373log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 4374during the whole build process. 4375 4376 4377See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 4378 4379 4380Monitor Commands - Overview: 4381============================ 4382 4383go - start application at address 'addr' 4384run - run commands in an environment variable 4385bootm - boot application image from memory 4386bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 4387bootz - boot zImage from memory 4388tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 4389 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 4390 (and eventually "gatewayip") 4391tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 4392rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 4393diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 4394loads - load S-Record file over serial line 4395loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 4396md - memory display 4397mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 4398nm - memory modify (constant address) 4399mw - memory write (fill) 4400cp - memory copy 4401cmp - memory compare 4402crc32 - checksum calculation 4403i2c - I2C sub-system 4404sspi - SPI utility commands 4405base - print or set address offset 4406printenv- print environment variables 4407setenv - set environment variables 4408saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 4409protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 4410erase - erase FLASH memory 4411flinfo - print FLASH memory information 4412nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 4413bdinfo - print Board Info structure 4414iminfo - print header information for application image 4415coninfo - print console devices and informations 4416ide - IDE sub-system 4417loop - infinite loop on address range 4418loopw - infinite write loop on address range 4419mtest - simple RAM test 4420icache - enable or disable instruction cache 4421dcache - enable or disable data cache 4422reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 4423echo - echo args to console 4424version - print monitor version 4425help - print online help 4426? - alias for 'help' 4427 4428 4429Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 4430======================================== 4431 4432TODO. 4433 4434For now: just type "help <command>". 4435 4436 4437Environment Variables: 4438====================== 4439 4440U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 4441can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 4442 4443Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 4444"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 4445without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 4446environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 4447working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 4448environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 4449 4450Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 4451 4452List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 4453 4454 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 4455 4456 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 4457 4458 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 4459 4460 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 4461 4462 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 4463 4464 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4465 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4466 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 4467 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 4468 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 4469 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 4470 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 4471 bootm_mapsize. 4472 4473 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 4474 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 4475 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 4476 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 4477 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 4478 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 4479 used otherwise. 4480 4481 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4482 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4483 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 4484 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 4485 environment variable. 4486 4487 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 4488 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 4489 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 4490 4491 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 4492 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 4493 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 4494 load any image using TFTP 4495 4496 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 4497 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 4498 be automatically started (by internally calling 4499 "bootm") 4500 4501 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 4502 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 4503 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 4504 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 4505 data. 4506 4507 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 4508 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 4509 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 4510 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 4511 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 4512 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 4513 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 4514 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 4515 access it during the boot procedure. 4516 4517 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 4518 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 4519 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 4520 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 4521 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 4522 must be accessible by the kernel. 4523 4524 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 4525 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 4526 defined. 4527 4528 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 4529 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 4530 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 4531 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 4532 it must be saved and board must be reset. 4533 4534 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 4535 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 4536 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 4537 is usually what you want since it allows for 4538 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 4539 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 4540 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 4541 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 4542 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 4543 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 4544 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 4545 4546 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 4547 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 4548 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 4549 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 4550 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 4551 12 MB as well - this can be done with 4552 4553 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 4554 4555 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 4556 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 4557 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 4558 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 4559 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 4560 boot time on your system, but requires that this 4561 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 4562 4563 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4564 4565 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 4566 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 4567 4568 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 4569 4570 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4571 4572 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 4573 4574 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 4575 4576 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 4577 4578 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 4579 4580 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 4581 For example you can do the following 4582 4583 => setenv ethact FEC 4584 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 4585 => setenv ethact SCC 4586 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 4587 4588 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 4589 available network interfaces. 4590 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 4591 4592 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 4593 either succeed or fail without retrying. 4594 When set to "once" the network operation will 4595 fail when all the available network interfaces 4596 are tried once without success. 4597 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 4598 themselves. 4599 4600 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 4601 4602 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 4603 UDP source port. 4604 4605 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 4606 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 4607 4608 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 4609 we use the TFTP server's default block size 4610 4611 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 4612 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 4613 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 4614 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 4615 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 4616 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 4617 with unreliable TFTP servers. 4618 4619 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 4620 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 4621 VLAN tagged frames. 4622 4623The following image location variables contain the location of images 4624used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 4625not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 4626variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 4627server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 4628loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 4629flash or offset in NAND flash. 4630 4631*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 4632boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 4633boards use these variables for other purposes. 4634 4635Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4636----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4637u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4638Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4639device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4640ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4641 4642The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4643updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4644depending the information provided by your boot server: 4645 4646 bootfile - see above 4647 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4648 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4649 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4650 hostname - Target hostname 4651 ipaddr - see above 4652 netmask - Subnet Mask 4653 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4654 serverip - see above 4655 4656 4657There are two special Environment Variables: 4658 4659 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4660 as type string and/or serial number 4661 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4662 4663These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4664the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4665once they have been set once. 4666 4667 4668Further special Environment Variables: 4669 4670 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4671 with the "version" command. This variable is 4672 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4673 4674 4675Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4676only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4677 4678 4679Callback functions for environment variables: 4680--------------------------------------------- 4681 4682For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 4683when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 4684be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 4685deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 4686effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 4687 4688The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 4689U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 4690 4691These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 4692static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 4693in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 4694associations. The list must be in the following format: 4695 4696 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 4697 list = entry[,list] 4698 4699If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 4700Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 4701 4702Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 4703with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 4704override any association in the static list. You can define 4705CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 4706".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4707 4708 4709Command Line Parsing: 4710===================== 4711 4712There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4713the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4714 4715Old, simple command line parser: 4716-------------------------------- 4717 4718- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4719- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4720- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4721- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4722 for example: 4723 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4724- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4725 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4726 4727Hush shell: 4728----------- 4729 4730- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4731 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4732 until...do...done, ... 4733- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4734 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4735 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4736 command 4737 4738General rules: 4739-------------- 4740 4741(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4742 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4743 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4744 executed anyway. 4745 4746(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4747 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4748 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4749 variables are not executed. 4750 4751Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4752======================================= 4753 4754Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4755such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4756"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4757 4758Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4759MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4760"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4761 4762If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4763in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4764ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4765variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4766 4767o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4768 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4769 4770o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4771 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4772 used. 4773 4774o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4775 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4776 4777o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4778 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4779 warning is printed. 4780 4781o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4782 is raised. 4783 4784If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4785will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4786may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4787The naming convention is as follows: 4788"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4789 4790Image Formats: 4791============== 4792 4793U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4794images in two formats: 4795 4796New uImage format (FIT) 4797----------------------- 4798 4799Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4800to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4801components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4802SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4803 4804 4805Old uImage format 4806----------------- 4807 4808Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4809preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4810details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4811 4812* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4813 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4814 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4815 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4816 INTEGRITY). 4817* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4818 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4819 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4820* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4821* Load Address 4822* Entry Point 4823* Image Name 4824* Image Timestamp 4825 4826The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4827and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4828CRC32 checksums. 4829 4830 4831Linux Support: 4832============== 4833 4834Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4835easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4836U-Boot. 4837 4838U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4839special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4840"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4841instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4842serves several purposes: 4843 4844- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4845 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4846 Flash memory footprint) 4847 4848- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4849 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4850 4851- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4852 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4853 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 4854 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 4855 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 4856 software is easier now. 4857 4858 4859Linux HOWTO: 4860============ 4861 4862Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 4863--------------------------------------- 4864 4865U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 4866configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 4867(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 4868Linux :-). 4869 4870But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 4871 4872Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 4873include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 4874Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 4875and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 4876as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 4877 4878 4879Configuring the Linux kernel: 4880----------------------------- 4881 4882No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 4883device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 4884 4885 4886Building a Linux Image: 4887----------------------- 4888 4889With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 4890not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 4891"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 4892U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 4893which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 4894100% compatible format. 4895 4896Example: 4897 4898 make TQM850L_config 4899 make oldconfig 4900 make dep 4901 make uImage 4902 4903The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 4904encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 4905CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 4906 4907* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 4908 4909* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 4910 4911 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 4912 -R .note -R .comment \ 4913 -S vmlinux linux.bin 4914 4915* compress the binary image: 4916 4917 gzip -9 linux.bin 4918 4919* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 4920 4921 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 4922 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 4923 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 4924 4925 4926The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 4927with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 4928combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 4929byte header containing information about target architecture, 4930operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 4931stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 4932 4933"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 4934print the header information, or to build new images. 4935 4936In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 4937contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 4938checksum verification: 4939 4940 tools/mkimage -l image 4941 -l ==> list image header information 4942 4943The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 4944from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 4945 4946 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 4947 -n name -d data_file image 4948 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 4949 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 4950 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 4951 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 4952 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 4953 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 4954 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 4955 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 4956 4957Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 4958address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 4959kernel version: 4960 4961- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 4962- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 4963 4964So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 4965 4966 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4967 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 4968 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 4969 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 4970 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4971 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4972 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4973 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4974 Load Address: 0x00000000 4975 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4976 4977To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 4978 4979 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 4980 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4981 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4982 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4983 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4984 Load Address: 0x00000000 4985 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4986 4987NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 4988speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 4989needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 4990need to be uncompressed: 4991 4992 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 4993 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4994 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 4995 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 4996 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 4997 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4998 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4999 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5000 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5001 Load Address: 0x00000000 5002 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5003 5004 5005Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5006when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5007 5008 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5009 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5010 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5011 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 5012 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 5013 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 5014 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 5015 Load Address: 0x00000000 5016 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5017 5018 5019Installing a Linux Image: 5020------------------------- 5021 5022To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 5023you must convert the image to S-Record format: 5024 5025 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 5026 5027The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 5028image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 5029address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 5210 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 5211 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 5212 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 5213 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 5214 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5215 being started. 5216 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5217 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5218 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5219 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5220 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5221 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5222 5223 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5224 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5225 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5226 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5227 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5228 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5229 5230 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5231 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5232 flash memory. 5233 5234 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5235 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5236 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5237 as command interpreter. 5238 5239Booting the Linux zImage: 5240------------------------- 5241 5242On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5243using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5244as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5245 5246Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 5247kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5248address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5249format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5250 5251 5252Standalone HOWTO: 5253================= 5254 5255One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5256run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5257U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5258 5259Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5260 5261"Hello World" Demo: 5262------------------- 5263 5264'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 5265application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 5266It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 5267like that: 5268 5269 => loads 5270 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5271 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 5272 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5273 [file transfer complete] 5274 [connected] 5275 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5276 5277 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 5298controlled by the following keys: 5299 5300 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 5301 b - enable interrupts and start timer 5302 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 5303 q - quit application 5304 5305 => loads 5306 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5307 ~>examples/timer.srec 5308 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5309 [file transfer complete] 5310 [connected] 5311 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5312 5313 => go 40004 5314 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 5315 TIMERS=0xfff00980 5316 Using timer 1 5317 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 5318 5319Hit 'b': 5320 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 5321 Enabling timer 5322Hit '?': 5323 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 5324 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 5325Hit '?': 5326 [q, b, e, ?] . 5327 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 5328Hit '?': 5329 [q, b, e, ?] . 5330 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 5331Hit '?': 5332 [q, b, e, ?] . 5333 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 5334Hit 'e': 5335 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 5336Hit 'q': 5337 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 5338 5339 5340Minicom warning: 5341================ 5342 5343Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 5344"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 5345consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 5346Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 5347especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 5348use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 5349http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 5350for help with kermit. 5351 5352 5353Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 5354configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 5355 5356 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 5373 5374 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 5375 # mkdir powerpc 5376 # ln -s powerpc machine 5377 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 5378 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 5379 5380Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 5381and U-Boot include files. 5382 5383Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 5384stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 5385proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 5386tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 5387meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 5388 5389 5390Implementation Internals: 5391========================= 5392 5393The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 5394implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 5395inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 5396hardware. 5397 5398 5399Initial Stack, Global Data: 5400--------------------------- 5401 5402The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 5403starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 5404system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 5405This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 5406is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 5407at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 5408options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 5409models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 5410MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 5411locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 5412 5413 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 5414 U-Boot mailing list: 5415 5416 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 5417 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 5418 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 5419 ... 5420 5421 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 5422 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 5423 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 5424 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 5425 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 5426 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 5427 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 5428 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 5429 5430 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 5431 is another option for the system designer to use as an 5432 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 5433 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 5434 board designers haven't used it for something that would 5435 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 5436 used. 5437 5438 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 5439 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 5440 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 5441 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 5442 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 5443 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 5444 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 5445 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 5446 you get the config right. 5447 5448 -Chris Hallinan 5449 DS4.COM, Inc. 5450 5451It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 5452code for the initialization procedures: 5453 5454* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 5455 to write it. 5456 5457* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 5458 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 5459 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 5460 5461* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 5462 that. 5463 5464Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 5465normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 5466turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 5467simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 5468functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 5469functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 5470the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 5471place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 5472reserve for this purpose. 5473 5474When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 5475relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 5476GCC's implementation. 5477 5478For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 5479 R1: stack pointer 5480 R2: reserved for system use 5481 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 5482 R5-R10: parameter passing 5483 R13: small data area pointer 5484 R30: GOT pointer 5485 R31: frame pointer 5486 5487 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 5488 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 5489 going back and forth between asm and C) 5490 5491 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 5492 5493 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 5494 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 5495 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 5496 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 5497 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 5498 624 text + 127 data). 5499 5500On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 5501 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 5502 5503 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 5504 5505On ARM, the following registers are used: 5506 5507 R0: function argument word/integer result 5508 R1-R3: function argument word 5509 R9: GOT pointer 5510 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 5511 R11: argument (frame) pointer 5512 R12: temporary workspace 5513 R13: stack pointer 5514 R14: link register 5515 R15: program counter 5516 5517 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 5518 5519On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 5520 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 5521 5522 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 5523 5524 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 5525 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 5526 5527On NDS32, the following registers are used: 5528 5529 R0-R1: argument/return 5530 R2-R5: argument 5531 R15: temporary register for assembler 5532 R16: trampoline register 5533 R28: frame pointer (FP) 5534 R29: global pointer (GP) 5535 R30: link register (LP) 5536 R31: stack pointer (SP) 5537 PC: program counter (PC) 5538 5539 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 5540 5541NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 5542or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 5543 5544Memory Management: 5545------------------ 5546 5547U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 5548MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 5549 5550The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 5551controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 5552memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 5553physical memory banks. 5554 5555U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 5556TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 5557booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 5558to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 5559memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 5560configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 5561Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 5562 5563Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 5564of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 5565 5566So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 5567this: 5568 5569 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 5570 : 5571 0x0000 1FFF 5572 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 5573 : 5574 : 5575 5576 : 5577 : 5578 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 5579 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 5580 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 5581 : 5582 0x00FD FFFF 5583 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 5584 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 5585 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 5586 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 5587 5588 5589System Initialization: 5590---------------------- 5591 5592In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 5593(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 5594configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 5595To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 5596To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 5597initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 5598which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 5599part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 5600the caches and the SIU. 5601 5602Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 5603preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 5604(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 5605on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 5606programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 5607simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 5608banks. 5609 5610When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 5611different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 5612bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 56130x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 5614contiguous memory starting from 0. 5615 5616Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 5617and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 5618Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 5619pages, and the final stack is set up. 5620 5621Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 5622until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 5623running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 5624new address in RAM. 5625 5626 5627U-Boot Porting Guide: 5628---------------------- 5629 5630[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 5631list, October 2002] 5632 5633 5634int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 5635{ 5636 sighandler_t no_more_time; 5637 5638 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 5639 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 5640 5641 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 5642 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 5643 return 0; 5644 } 5645 5646 Download latest U-Boot source; 5647 5648 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 5649 5650 if (clueless) 5651 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 5652 5653 while (learning) { 5654 Read the README file in the top level directory; 5655 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 5656 Read applicable doc/*.README; 5657 Read the source, Luke; 5658 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 5659 } 5660 5661 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 5662 Buy a BDI3000; 5663 else 5664 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 5665 5666 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 5667 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 5668 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5669 } else { 5670 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5671 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5672 } 5673 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5674 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5675 5676 while (!accepted) { 5677 while (!running) { 5678 do { 5679 Add / modify source code; 5680 } until (compiles); 5681 Debug; 5682 if (clueless) 5683 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5684 } 5685 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5686 if (reasonable critiques) 5687 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5688 else 5689 Defend code as written; 5690 } 5691 5692 return 0; 5693} 5694 5695void no_more_time (int sig) 5696{ 5697 hire_a_guru(); 5698} 5699 5700 5701Coding Standards: 5702----------------- 5703 5704All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5705coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5706"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5707 5708Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5709MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5710reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5711sources. 5712 5713Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5714Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5715in your code. 5716 5717Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5718- remove any trailing white space 5719- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5720- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5721- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5722- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5723 5724Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5725with a request to reformat the changes. 5726 5727 5728Submitting Patches: 5729------------------- 5730 5731Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5732establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5733may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5734 5735Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5736 5737Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5738see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5739 5740When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5741it: 5742 5743* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5744 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5745 patch actually fixes something. 5746 5747* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5748 implementation. 5749 5750* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5751 5752* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5753 5754* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 5755 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too. 5756 5757* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5758 document these in the README file. 5759 5760* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5761 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5762 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5763 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5764 with some other mail clients. 5765 5766 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5767 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5768 GNU diff. 5769 5770 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5771 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5772 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5773 affected files). 5774 5775 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5776 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5777 5778* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5779 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5780 5781* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5782 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5783 5784 5785Notes: 5786 5787* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5788 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5789 for any of the boards. 5790 5791* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5792 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5793 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5794 5795* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5796 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5797 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5798 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5799 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5800 modification. 5801 5802* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5803 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5804 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5805 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5806
