8Summary:
9========
10
11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board
39maintainers.
40
41Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
42it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:

225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235  "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
240  "CONFIG_SYS_".
241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257	cd u-boot
258	make TQM823L_defconfig
259
260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
263
264
265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.
272
273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
274
275
276Board Initialisation Flow:
277--------------------------
278
279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL
281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each
282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this.
283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
284
285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after
286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below.
287
288lowlevel_init():
289	- purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
290	- no global_data or BSS
291	- there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
292	- must not set up SDRAM or use console
293	- must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
294		board_init_f()
295	- this is almost never needed
296	- return normally from this function
297
298board_init_f():
299	- purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
300		i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
301	- global_data is available
302	- stack is in SRAM
303	- BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
304		only stack variables and global_data
305
306	Non-SPL-specific notes:
307	- dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
308		can do nothing
309
310	SPL-specific notes:
311	- you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
312		version as needed.
313	- preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
314	- should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
315	- these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
316	- must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
317		directly)
318
319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
322memory.
323
324board_init_r():
325	- purpose: main execution, common code
326	- global_data is available
327	- SDRAM is available
328	- BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
329	- execution eventually continues to main_loop()
330
331	Non-SPL-specific notes:
332	- U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
333		there.
334
335	SPL-specific notes:
336	- stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
337		CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
338	- preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
339		done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
340		spl_board_init() function containing this call
341	- loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
342
343
344
345Configuration Options:
346----------------------
347
348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
349such information is kept in a configuration file
350"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
351
352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
353"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
354
355
356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
358build a config tool - later.
359
360
361The following options need to be configured:
362
363- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
364
365- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
366
367- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
368		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
369
370- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
371		Define exactly one of
372		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
373--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
374		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
375		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
376
377- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
378		Define exactly one of
379		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
380
381- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
382		Define one or more of
383		CONFIG_CMA302
384
385- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
386		Define one or more of
387		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
388					  the LCD display every second with
389					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
390
391- Marvell Family Member
392		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
393					  multiple fs option at one time
394					  for marvell soc family
395
396- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
397		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
398					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
399					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
400					  reference PIT/RTC clock
401		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
402					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
403
404- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
405		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
406		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
407		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
408			See doc/README.MPC866
409
410		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
411
412		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
413		of relying on the correctness of the configured
414		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
415		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
416		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
417		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
418
419		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
420
421		Define this option if you want to enable the
422		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
423
424- 85xx CPU Options:
425		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
426
427		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
428		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
429		compliance, among other possible reasons.
430
431		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
432
433		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
434		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
435		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
436
437		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
438
439		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
440		tree nodes for the given platform.
441
442		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
443
444		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
445		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
446		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
447		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
448		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
449		purpose.
450
451		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
452
453		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
454		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
455		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
456
457		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
458		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
459
460		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
461		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
462
463		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
464		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
465		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
466		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
467
468		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
469		this erratum.
470
471		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
472		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
473		required during NOR boot.
474
475		CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
476		Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
477		required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
478
479		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
480
481		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
482		according to the A004510 workaround.
483
484		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
485		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
486		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
487
488		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
489		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
490		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
491
492		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
493		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
494		connected to the DSP core.
495
496		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
497		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
498
499		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
500		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
501		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
502		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
503
504		CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
505		This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
506		time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
507
508		CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
509		Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
510		supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
511
512- Generic CPU options:
513		CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
514		Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
515		If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
516		generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
517		should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
518
519		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
520
521		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
522		values is arch specific.

634- MIPS CPU options:
635		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
636
637		Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
638		pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before

665
666- ARM options:
667		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
668
669		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
670		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
671
672		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
673
674		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
675		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
676		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
677		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
678		GCC.
679
680		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
681		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
682		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
683		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
684		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
685		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
686
687		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
688		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
689		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
690		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
691		set these options unless they apply!
692
693		COUNTER_FREQUENCY
694		Generic timer clock source frequency.
695
696		COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL

702		do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
703		specific checks, but expect no product checks.
704		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
705		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
706		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
707		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
708
709- Tegra SoC options:
710		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
711
712		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
713		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
714		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
715
716- Linux Kernel Interface:
717		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
718
719		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
720		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
721		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
722		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
723		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
724		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
725		Linux kernel.
726		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
727		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
728		default environment.
729
730		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
731
732		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
733		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
734		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
735
736		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
737
738		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
739		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
740		concepts).
741
742		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
743		 * New libfdt-based support
744		 * Adds the "fdt" command
745		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
746
747		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
748			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
749		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
750			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
751		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
752		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
753
754		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
755		addresses
756
757		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
758
759		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
760		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
761
762		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
763
764		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
765		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
766		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
767		the kernel.
768
769		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
770
771		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
772		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
773
774		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
775
776		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
777		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
778		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
779		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
780		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
781		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
782
783		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
784
785		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
786		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
787		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
788		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
789		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
790		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
791		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
792
793- vxWorks boot parameters:
794
795		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
796		environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
797		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
798
799		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
800		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
801		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
802		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
803
804		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
805
806		Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
807
808		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
809		the defaults discussed just above.
810
811- Cache Configuration:
812		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
813		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
814		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
815
816- Cache Configuration for ARM:
817		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
818				      controller
819		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
820					controller register space
821
822- Serial Ports:
823		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
824
825		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
826
827		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
828
829		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
830
831		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
832
833		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
834		the clock speed of the UARTs.
835
836		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
837
838		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
839		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
840		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
841
842		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
843
844		Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
845		have separate receive and transmit line control registers.  Set
846		this variable to initialize the extra register.
847
848		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
849
850		On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
851		boot loader that has already initialized the UART.  Define this
852		variable to flush the UART at init time.
853
854		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
855
856		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
857		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
858
859- Console Interface:
860		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
861		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
862		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
863		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
864
865		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
866		port routines must be defined elsewhere
867		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
868
869		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
870		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
871		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
872			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
873						(default big endian)
874			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
875						rectangle fill
876						(cf. smiLynxEM)
877			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
878						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
879			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
880						(cols=pitch)
881			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
882			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
883			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
884						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
885			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
886			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
887						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
888			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
889						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
890			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
891						(i.e. i8042_getc)
892			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
893						(requires blink timer
894						cf. i8042.c)
895			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
896			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
897						upper right corner
898						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
899			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
900						upper left corner
901			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
902						linux_logo.h for logo.
903						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
904			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
905						additional board info beside
906						the logo
907
908		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
909		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
910		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
911
912		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
913		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
914		environment 'console=serial'.
915
916		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
917		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
918		the "silent" environment variable. See
919		doc/README.silent for more information.
920
921		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
922			is 0x00.
923		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
924			is 0xa0.
925
926- Console Baudrate:
927		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
928		Select one of the baudrates listed in
929		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
930		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
931
932- Console Rx buffer length
933		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
934		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
935		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
936		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
937		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
938		the SMC.
939
940- Pre-Console Buffer:
941		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
942		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
943		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
944		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
945		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
946		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
947		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
948		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
949		earlier bytes are discarded.
950
951		Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
952		stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
953
954		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
955		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
956
957- Safe printf() functions
958		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
959		the printf() functions. These are defined in
960		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
961		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
962		If this option is not given then these functions will
963		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
964		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
965
966- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
967		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
968		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
969		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
970		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
971
972		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
973		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
974		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
975		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
976		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
977		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
978		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
979		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
980		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
981		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
982		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
983		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
984
985- Autoboot Command:
986		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
987		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
988		define a command string that is automatically executed
989		when no character is read on the console interface
990		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
991
992		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
993		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
994		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
995		environment value "bootargs".
996
997		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
998		The value of these goes into the environment as
999		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
1000		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
1001		RAM and NFS.
1002
1003- Bootcount:
1004		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1005		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1006		cycle, see:
1007		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1008
1009		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1010		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1011		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1012		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1013		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1014		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1015		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1016		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1017		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1018
1019- Pre-Boot Commands:
1020		CONFIG_PREBOOT
1021
1022		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1023		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1024		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1025		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1026		entering interactive mode.
1027
1028		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1029		automatically generated or modified. For an example
1030		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1031		modified when the user holds down a certain
1032		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1033		booting the systems
1034
1035- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1036		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1037		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1038		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1039		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1040		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1041		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1042		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1043
1044- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
1045		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1046		Select one of the baudrates listed in
1047		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
1048
1049- Monitor Functions:
1050		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1051		from the build by using the #include files
1052		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1053		commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
1054		and augmenting with additional #define's
1055		for wanted commands.
1056
1057		The default command configuration includes all commands

1168		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1169		support you can write:
1170
1171		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1172		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1173
1174	Other Commands:
1175		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1176
1177	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1178		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1179		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1180		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1181		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1182		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1183		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1184		initial stack and some data.
1185
1186
1187		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1188
1189- Regular expression support:
1190		CONFIG_REGEX
1191		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1192		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1193		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1194		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1195
1196- Device tree:
1197		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1198		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1199		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1200		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1201		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1202		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1203
1204		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1205		be done using one of the two options below:
1206
1207		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1208		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1209		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1210		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1211		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1212		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1213
1214		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1215		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1216		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1217		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1218
1219			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1220
1221		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1222		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1223		still use the individual files if you need something more
1224		exotic.
1225
1226- Watchdog:
1227		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1228		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1229		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1230		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1231		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1232		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1233		available, then no further board specific code should
1234		be needed to use it.
1235
1236		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1237		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1238		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1239		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1240
1241		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1242		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1243
1244- U-Boot Version:
1245		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1246		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1247		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1248		version as printed by the "version" command.
1249		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1250		next reset.
1251
1252- Real-Time Clock:
1253
1254		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1255		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1256		following options:
1257
1258		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1259		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1260		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1261		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1262		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1263		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1264		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1265		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1266		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1267		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1268		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1269		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1270		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1271					  RV3029 RTC.
1272
1273		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1274		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1275
1276- GPIO Support:
1277		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1278
1279		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1280		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1281		pins supported by a particular chip.
1282
1283		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1284		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1285
1286- I/O tracing:
1287		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1288		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1289		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1290		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1291		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1292		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1293		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1294		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1295
1296		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1297		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1298		still continue to operate.
1299
1300			iotrace is enabled
1301			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1302			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1303			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
1304			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
1305			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
1306			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
1307
1308- Timestamp Support:
1309
1310		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1311		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1312		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1313		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1314
1315- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1316		Zero or more of the following:
1317		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1318		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1319				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1320		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1321		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1322				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1323				       disk/part_efi.c
1324		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1325
1326		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1327		CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1328		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1329
1330- IDE Reset method:
1331		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1332		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1333
1334		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1335		be performed by calling the function
1336			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1337		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1338
1339- ATAPI Support:
1340		CONFIG_ATAPI
1341
1342		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1343
1344- LBA48 Support
1345		CONFIG_LBA48
1346
1347		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1348		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1349		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1350		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1351
1352		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1353			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1354			Default is 32bit.
1355
1356- SCSI Support:
1357		At the moment only there is only support for the
1358		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1359		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1360
1361		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1362		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1363		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1364		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1365		devices.
1366		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1367
1368		The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1369		SCSI devices found during the last scan.

1525		Add tpm monitor functions.
1526		Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also
1527		provides monitor access to authorized functions.
1528
1529		CONFIG_TPM
1530		Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides
1531		functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
1532		Requires support for a TPM device.
1533
1534		CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
1535		Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
1536		Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
1537
1538- USB Support:
1539		At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1540		supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
1541		CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1542		define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1543		and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1544		storage devices.
1545		Note:
1546		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1547		(TEAC FD-05PUB).
1548		MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1549			CONFIG_USB_CLOCK
1550				for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1551			CONFIG_PSC3_USB
1552				for USB on PSC3
1553			CONFIG_USB_CONFIG
1554				for differential drivers: 0x00001000
1555				for single ended drivers: 0x00005000
1556				for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100
1557				for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100
1558			CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
1559				May be defined to allow interrupt polling
1560				instead of using asynchronous interrupts
1561
1562		CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1563		txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1564
1565		CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1566		HW module registers.
1567
1568- USB Device:
1569		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1570		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1571		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1572		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1573		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1574		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1575		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1576		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1577		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1578		a Linux host by
1579		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1580		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1581		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1582		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1583
1584			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1585			Define this to build a UDC device
1586
1587			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1588			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1589			talk to the UDC device
1590
1591			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1592			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1593			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1594			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1595			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1596			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1597			speed.
1598
1599			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1600			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1601			be set to usbtty.
1602
1603			mpc8xx:
1604				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1605				Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1606				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1607
1608				CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1609				Derive USB clock from brgclk
1610				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1611
1612		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1613		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1614		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1615		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1616		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1617		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1618
1619			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1620			Define this string as the name of your company for
1621			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1622
1623			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1624			Define this string as the name of your product
1625			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1626
1627			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1628			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1629			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1630			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1631			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1632
1633			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1634			Define this as the unique Product ID
1635			for your device
1636			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1637
1638- ULPI Layer Support:
1639		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1640		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1641		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1642		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1643		viewport is supported.
1644		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1645		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1646		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1647		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1648		the appropriate value in Hz.
1649
1650- MMC Support:
1651		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1652		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1653		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1654		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1655		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1656		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1657
1658		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1659		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1660
1661			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1662			Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1663
1664			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1665			Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1666
1667		CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC
1668		Enable the generic MMC driver
1669
1670		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1671		Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1672
1673		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1674		Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1675		key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1676
1677- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1678		CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1679		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1680
1681		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1682		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1683		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1684		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1685		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1686
1687		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1688		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1689
1690		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1691		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1692
1693		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1694		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1695		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1696		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1697		one that would help mostly the developer.
1698
1699		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1700		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1701		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1702		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1703		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1704
1705		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1706		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1707		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1708		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1709		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1710		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1711
1712		DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1713		Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1714		host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1715		a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1716
1717		DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1718		Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1719		entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1720		sending again an USB request to the device.
1721
1722- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1723		CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1724		This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1725		fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1726		protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1727		used on Android devices.
1728		See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1729
1730		CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1731		This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1732		image format header.
1733
1734		CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1735		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1736		downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1737		downloaded images.
1738
1739		CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1740		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1741		downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1742		platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1743
1744		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1745		The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1746		the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1747		this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1748
1749		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1750		The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1751		regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1752		the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1753
1754		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1755		The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1756		image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1757		Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1758		to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1759		This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1760		"fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1761		Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1762
1763- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1764		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1765		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1766		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1767
1768		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1769		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1770		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1771
1772		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1773		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1774		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1775
1776		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1777		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1778		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1779		have not defined a custom partition
1780
1781- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1782		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1783
1784		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1785		file in FAT formatted partition.
1786
1787		This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1788		user to write files to FAT.
1789
1790CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1791		CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1792
1793		Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1794		filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1795		and cbfsload.
1796
1797- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1798		CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1799
1800		Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1801		a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1802
1803- Keyboard Support:
1804		CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
1805
1806		Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1807		support
1808
1809		CONFIG_I8042_KBD
1810		Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1811		GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1812		Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1813		for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1814
1815		CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB
1816		Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface.
1817		This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller
1818		which provides key scans on request.
1819
1820- Video support:
1821		CONFIG_VIDEO
1822
1823		Define this to enable video support (for output to
1824		video).
1825
1826		CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1827
1828		Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1829
1830		CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1831		Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1832		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1833		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1834		assumed.
1835
1836		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1837		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1838		are possible:
1839		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1840		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1841
1842		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1843		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1844		      8 bits |	0x301*	0x303	 0x305	  0x161	    0x307
1845		     15 bits |	0x310	0x313	 0x316	  0x162	    0x319
1846		     16 bits |	0x311	0x314	 0x317	  0x163	    0x31A
1847		     24 bits |	0x312	0x315	 0x318	    ?	    0x31B
1848		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1849		(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1850
1851		- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1852		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1853
1854
1855		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1856		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1857		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1858		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1859
1860		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1861		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1862		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1863		support, and should also define these other macros:
1864
1865			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1866			CONFIG_VIDEO
1867			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1868			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1869			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1870			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1871			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1872			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1873
1874		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1875		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1876		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1877		description of this variable.
1878
1879
1880- Keyboard Support:
1881		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1882
1883		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1884		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1885		defined in your board-specific files.
1886		The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1887
1888- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1889
1890		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1891		display); also select one of the supported displays
1892		by defining one of these:
1893
1894		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1895
1896			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1897
1898		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1899
1900			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1901
1902		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1903
1904			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1905			Active, color, single scan.
1906
1907		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1908
1909			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1910			Active, color, single scan.
1911
1912		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1913
1914			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1915			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1916
1917		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1918
1919			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1920			Active, color, single scan.
1921
1922		CONFIG_HLD1045
1923
1924			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1925			Active, color, single scan.
1926
1927		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1928
1929			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1930			or
1931			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1932			or
1933			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1934
1935			320x240. Black & white.
1936
1937		Normally display is black on white background; define
1938		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1939
1940		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1941
1942		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1943		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1944		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1945		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1946		a per-section basis.
1947
1948		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1949
1950		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1951		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1952		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1953		is slow.
1954
1955		CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1956
1957		Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1958		mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1959		we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1960		framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1961		printed out.
1962		Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1963		initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1964		"vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1965		The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1966		fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1967		0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1968		1 = 90 degree rotation
1969		2 = 180 degree rotation
1970		3 = 270 degree rotation
1971
1972		If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1973		initialized with 0degree rotation.
1974
1975		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1976
1977		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1978
1979		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1980
1981		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1982		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1983
1984- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1985
1986		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1987		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1988		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1989		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1990		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1991		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1992		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1993		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1994
1995		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1996
1997		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1998		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1999		(see README.displaying-bmps).
2000		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
2001		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
2002		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
2003		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2004		there is no need to set this option.
2005
2006		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2007
2008		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2009		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2010		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2011		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2012		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2013		specify 'm' for centering the image.
2014
2015		Example:
2016		setenv splashpos m,m
2017			=> image at center of screen
2018
2019		setenv splashpos 30,20
2020			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
2021
2022		setenv splashpos -10,m
2023			=> vertically centered image
2024			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2025
2026- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2027
2028		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2029		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2030		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2031
2032- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2033
2034		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2035		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2036		bmp command.
2037
2038- Do compressing for memory range:
2039		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2040
2041		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2042		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2043
2044- Compression support:
2045		CONFIG_GZIP
2046
2047		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2048
2049		CONFIG_BZIP2
2050
2051		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2052		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2053		compressed images are supported.
2054
2055		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
2056		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
2057		be at least 4MB.
2058
2059		CONFIG_LZMA
2060
2061		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2062		images is included.
2063
2064		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2065		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2066		formula:
2067
2068			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2069
2070		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2071		and Literal pos bits.
2072
2073		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2074		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2075		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2076		a very small buffer.
2077
2078		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2079		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
2080		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
2081
2082		CONFIG_LZO
2083
2084		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2085		is included.
2086
2087- MII/PHY support:
2088		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2089
2090		The address of PHY on MII bus.
2091
2092		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2093
2094		The clock frequency of the MII bus
2095
2096		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2097
2098		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
2099		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
2100
2101		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2102
2103		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2104		reset before any MII register access is possible.
2105		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2106		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2107
2108		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2109
2110		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2111		command issued before MII status register can be read
2112
2113- Ethernet address:
2114		CONFIG_ETHADDR
2115		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
2116		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
2117		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
2118		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
2119		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
2120
2121		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
2122		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
2123		is not determined automatically.
2124
2125- IP address:
2126		CONFIG_IPADDR
2127
2128		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
2129		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
2130		determined through e.g. bootp.
2131		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
2132
2133- Server IP address:
2134		CONFIG_SERVERIP
2135
2136		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
2137		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
2138		(Environment variable "serverip")
2139
2140		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2141
2142		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2143		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2144
2145- Gateway IP address:
2146		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2147
2148		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2149		default router where packets to other networks are
2150		sent to.
2151		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
2152
2153- Subnet mask:
2154		CONFIG_NETMASK
2155
2156		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2157		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2158		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2159		forwarded through a router.
2160		(Environment variable "netmask")
2161
2162- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2163		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2164
2165		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2166		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
2167		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
2168		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2169		multicast group.
2170
2171- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2172		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2173
2174		If you have many targets in a network that try to
2175		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2176		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2177		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2178		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2179		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2180		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2181		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2182		following delays are inserted then:
2183
2184		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
2185		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
2186		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
2187		4th and following
2188		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
2189
2190		CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2191
2192		BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2193		server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2194		U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2195		an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2196		aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2197		ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2198		respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2199		takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2200		time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2201		to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2202		retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2203		IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2204		cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2205		requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2206		from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2207
2208- DHCP Advanced Options:
2209		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2210		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2211
2212		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2213		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2214		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2215		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2216		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2217		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2218		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2219		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2220		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2221		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2222		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2223		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2224		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2225
2226		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2227		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2228
2229		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2230		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2231		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
2232		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2233		is not available.
2234
2235		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2236		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2237		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2238		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2239		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2240		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2241		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2242		is defined.
2243
2244		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2245		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2246		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2247		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2248		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2249		option 12 to the DHCP server.
2250
2251		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2252
2253		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2254		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2255		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2256		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2257		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2258		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2259		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2260		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2261		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2262		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2263		this delay.
2264
2265 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2266		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2267		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2268		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2269		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2270
2271		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2272
2273 - CDP Options:
2274		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2275
2276		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2277
2278		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2279
2280		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2281		of the device.
2282
2283		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2284
2285		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2286		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2287		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2288
2289		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2290
2291		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2292		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2293
2294		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2295
2296		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2297
2298		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2299
2300		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2301
2302		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2303
2304		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2305
2306		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2307
2308		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2309		device in .1 of milliwatts.
2310
2311		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2312
2313		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2314
2315- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2316
2317		Several configurations allow to display the current
2318		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2319		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2320		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2321		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2322		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2323		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2324		feature in U-Boot.
2325
2326		Additional options:
2327
2328		CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2329		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2330		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2331		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2332		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2333
2334		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2335		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2336		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2337		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2338		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2339		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2340
2341- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2342
2343		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2344		on those systems that support this (optional)
2345		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2346
2347- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2348
2349		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2350		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2351		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2352		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2353		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2354		interface.
2355

2376		    bus.
2377		  - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
2378		    CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset

2476
2477		additional defines:
2478
2479		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2480		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you
2481		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2482		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2483		omit this define.
2484
2485		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2486		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2487		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2488		omit this define.
2489
2490		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2491		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2492		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2493		define.
2494
2495		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2496		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2497		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2498		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2499		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2500
2501		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2502					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2503					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2504					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2505					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2506					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2507					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2508					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2509					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2510					}
2511
2512		which defines
2513			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2514			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2515			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2516			bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2517			bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2518			bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2519			bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2520			bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2521			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2522
2523		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2524
2525- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2526
2527		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2528		provides the following compelling advantages:
2529
2530		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2531		- approved multibus support
2532		- better i2c mux support
2533
2534		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2535
2536		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2537		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2538		for the selected CPU.
2539
2540		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2541		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2542		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2543		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2544		command line interface.
2545
2546		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2547
2548		There are several other quantities that must also be
2549		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2550
2551		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2552		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2553		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2554		the CPU's i2c node address).
2555
2556		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2557		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2558		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2559		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2560		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2561
2562		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2563
2564		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2565		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2566		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2567		commands until the slave device responds.
2568
2569		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2570
2571		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2572		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2573		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2574
2575		I2C_INIT
2576
2577		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2578		controller or configure ports.
2579
2580		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2581
2582		I2C_PORT
2583
2584		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2585		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2586		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2587
2588		I2C_ACTIVE
2589
2590		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2591		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2592		define can be null.
2593
2594		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2595
2596		I2C_TRISTATE
2597
2598		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2599		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2600		define can be null.
2601
2602		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2603
2604		I2C_READ
2605
2606		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2607		false if it is low.
2608
2609		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2610
2611		I2C_SDA(bit)
2612
2613		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2614		is false, it clears it (low).
2615
2616		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2617			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2618			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2619
2620		I2C_SCL(bit)
2621
2622		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2623		is false, it clears it (low).
2624
2625		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2626			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2627			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2628
2629		I2C_DELAY
2630
2631		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2632		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2633		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2634		like:
2635
2636		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2637
2638		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2639
2640		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2641		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2642		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2643		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2644
2645		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2646		the generic GPIO functions.
2647
2648		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2649
2650		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2651		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2652		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2653		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2654		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2655		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2656		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2657		is run early in the boot sequence.
2658
2659		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2660
2661		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2662		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2663		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2664		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2665		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2666		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2667		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2668		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2669
2670		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2671
2672		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2673		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2674		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2675
2676		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2677
2678		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2679		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2680		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2681		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2682
2683		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2684
2685		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2686		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2687		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2688		a 1D array of device addresses
2689
2690		e.g.
2691			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2692			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2693
2694		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2695
2696			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2697			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2698
2699		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2700
2701		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2702
2703		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2704		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2705
2706		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2707
2708		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2709		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2710
2711		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2712
2713		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2714		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2715
2716		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2717
2718		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2719		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2720		specified DTT device.
2721
2722		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2723
2724		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2725		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2726		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2727		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2728		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2729		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2730		the other.
2731
2732- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2733
2734		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2735		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2736		D/As on the SACSng board)
2737
2738		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2739
2740		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2741		only SH7757 is supported.
2742
2743		CONFIG_SPI_X
2744
2745		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2746		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2747
2748		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2749
2750		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2751		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2752		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2753		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2754		defined, the board configuration must define several
2755		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2756		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2757
2758		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2759
2760		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2761		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2762		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2763		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2764		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2765
2766		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2767
2768		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2769		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2770
2771		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2772		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2773		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2774
2775- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2776
2777		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2778
2779		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2780
2781		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2782		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2783
2784		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2785
2786		Enables support for FPGA family.
2787		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2788
2789		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2790
2791		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2792
2793		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2794
2795		Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2796
2797		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2798
2799		Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2800
2801		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2802
2803		Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2804		(Xilinx only)
2805
2806		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2807
2808		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2809
2810		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2811
2812		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2813		status by the configuration function. This option
2814		will require a board or device specific function to
2815		be written.
2816
2817		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2818
2819		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2820		configuration driver.
2821
2822		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2823		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2824
2825		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2826
2827		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2828		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2829		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2830		indicated a CRC error).
2831
2832		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2833
2834		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2835		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2836		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2837		ms.
2838
2839		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2840
2841		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2842		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2843
2844		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2845
2846		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2847		200 ms.
2848
2849- Configuration Management:
2850		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2851
2852		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2853		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2854		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2855		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2856		make / MAKEALL.
2857
2858		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2859
2860		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2861		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2862
2863- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2864
2865		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2866		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2867		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2868		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2869		protects these variables from casual modification by
2870		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2871		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2872		change this behaviour:
2873
2874		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2875		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2876		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2877		these parameters.
2878
2879		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2880		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2881		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2882		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2883		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2884		read-only.]
2885
2886		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2887		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2888		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2889		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2890
2891- Protected RAM:
2892		CONFIG_PRAM
2893
2894		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2895		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2896		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2897		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2898		this default value by defining an environment
2899		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2900		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2901		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2902		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2903		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2904		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2905		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2906
2907			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2908			saveenv
2909
2910		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2911		either, which results in a memory region that will
2912		not be affected by reboots.
2913
2914		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2915		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2916		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2917		following board configurations are known to be
2918		"pRAM-clean":
2919
2920			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2921			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2922			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2923
2924- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2925		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2926		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2927		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2928		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2929		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2930		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2931
2932- Error Recovery:
2933		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2934
2935		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2936		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2937		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2938		system where you want the system to reboot
2939		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2940		useful during development since you can try to debug
2941		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2942
2943		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2944
2945		This variable defines the number of retries for
2946		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2947		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2948		default value of 5 is used.
2949
2950		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2951
2952		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2953
2954		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2955
2956		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2957		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2958		try longer timeout such as
2959		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2960
2961- Command Interpreter:
2962		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2963
2964		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2965
2966		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2967
2968		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2969		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2970		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2971
2972	Note:
2973
2974		In the current implementation, the local variables
2975		space and global environment variables space are
2976		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2977		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2978		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2979		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2980		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2981
2982		Global environment variables are those you use
2983		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2984		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2985		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2986
2987		To store commands and special characters in a
2988		variable, please use double quotation marks
2989		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2990		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2991		symbols.
2992
2993- Command Line Editing and History:
2994		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2995
2996		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2997		command line input operations
2998
2999- Default Environment:
3000		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
3001
3002		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
3003		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
3004		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
3005
3006		For example, place something like this in your
3007		board's config file:
3008
3009		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
3010			"myvar1=value1\0" \
3011			"myvar2=value2\0"
3012
3013		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
3014		internal format how the environment is stored by the
3015		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3016		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
3017		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
3018		You better know what you are doing here.
3019
3020		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3021		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
3022		the environment like the "source" command or the
3023		boot command first.
3024
3025		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3026
3027		Define this in order to add variables describing the
3028		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3029		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3030
3031		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3032
3033		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3034		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3035		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3036		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3037		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3038
3039		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3040
3041		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3042		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3043		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3044
3045		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3046
3047		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
3048		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
3049		that so that the environment is not available until
3050		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3051		this is instead controlled by the value of
3052		/config/load-environment.
3053
3054- DataFlash Support:
3055		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3056
3057		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3058		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3059		commands cp, md...
3060
3061- Serial Flash support
3062		CONFIG_CMD_SF
3063
3064		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3065		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3066
3067		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3068		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3069		commands.
3070
3071		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3072		to handle the common case when only a single serial
3073		flash is present on the system.
3074
3075		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
3076		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
3077		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
3078		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
3079
3080		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3081
3082		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3083		test ('sf test').
3084
3085		CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR		Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3086
3087		Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3088		support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3089
3090		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
3091
3092		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3093		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
3094		Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
3095
3096- SystemACE Support:
3097		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3098
3099		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3100		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
3101		of the chip must also be defined in the
3102		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3103
3104		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3105		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3106
3107		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3108		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3109
3110- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3111		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3112
3113		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3114		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3115		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3116		number generator is used.
3117
3118		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3119		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
3120		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3121
3122		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3123		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3124		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3125		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3126		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3127		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3128		but sometimes that is not allowed.
3129
3130- Hashing support:
3131		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3132
3133		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3134		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3135
3136		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3137
3138		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3139		size a little.
3140
3141		CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3142		algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3143		CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3144		SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3145		CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3146		for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3147		This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3148		hash_lookup_algo() function.
3149		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3150		hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3151		Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3152		is performed in hardware.
3153
3154		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3155		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3156
3157- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3158		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3159		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3160		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3161
3162		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3163		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3164		a boot from specific media.
3165
3166		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3167		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3168		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3169		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
3170		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3171
3172- Signing support:
3173		CONFIG_RSA
3174
3175		This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
3176		in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
3177
3178		The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3179		driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3180		library to function.
3181
3182		The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3183		option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3184		mkimage irrespective of this option.
3185
3186- bootcount support:
3187		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3188
3189		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3190		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3191
3192		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3193		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3194		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3195		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3196		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3197		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3198		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3199		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3200		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3201		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3202			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3203			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3204						    the bootcounter.
3205			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3206
3207- Show boot progress:
3208		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3209
3210		Defining this option allows to add some board-
3211		specific code (calling a user-provided function
3212		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3213		the system's boot progress on some display (for
3214		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3215		the following checkpoints are implemented:
3216

3370
3371- legacy image format:
3372		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3373		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3374
3375		Default:
3376		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3377
3378		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3379		disable the legacy image format
3380
3381		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3382		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3383
3384- FIT image support:
3385		CONFIG_FIT
3386		Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3387
3388		CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3389		When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3390		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3391		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3392		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3393		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3394
3395		CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3396		This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3397		using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If
3398		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive
3399		hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it.
3400		See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3401
3402		WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3403		signature check the legacy image format is default
3404		disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3405		enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3406
3407		CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3408		Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3409		For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3410		with this option.
3411
3412- Standalone program support:
3413		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3414
3415		This option defines a board specific value for the
3416		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3417		overwriting the architecture dependent default
3418		settings.
3419
3420- Frame Buffer Address:
3421		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3422
3423		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3424		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3425		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3426		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3427		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3428		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3429		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3430		configured panel size.
3431
3432		Please see board_init_f function.
3433
3434- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3435		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3436		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3437		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3438
3439		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3440		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3441
3442- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3443		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3444
3445		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3446		Needed for mtdparts command support.
3447
3448		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3449
3450		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3451		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3452
3453- UBI support
3454		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3455
3456		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3457		with the UBI flash translation layer
3458
3459		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3460
3461		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3462
3463		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3464		warnings and errors enabled.
3465
3466
3467		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3468		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3469		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3470		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3471		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3472		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3473
3474		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3475		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3476		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3477		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3478		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3479
3480		default: 4096
3481
3482		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3483		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3484		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3485		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3486		flash), this value is ignored.
3487
3488		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3489		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3490		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3491		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3492		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3493		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3494
3495		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3496		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3497		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3498		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3499		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3500		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3501		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3502		partition.
3503
3504		default: 20
3505
3506		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3507		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3508		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3509		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3510		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3511		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3512		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3513		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3514		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3515		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3516		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3517		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3518
3519		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3520		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3521		without a fastmap.
3522		default: 0
3523
3524- UBIFS support
3525		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3526
3527		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3528		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3529
3530		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3531
3532		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3533
3534		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3535		warnings and errors enabled.
3536
3537- SPL framework
3538		CONFIG_SPL
3539		Enable building of SPL globally.
3540
3541		CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3542		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3543
3544		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3545		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3546		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3547		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3548		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3549		must not be both defined at the same time.
3550
3551		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3552		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3553		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3554		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3555		not exceed it.
3556
3557		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3558		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3559
3560		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3561		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3562		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3563
3564		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3565		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3566
3567		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3568		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3569		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3570		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3571		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3572		must not be both defined at the same time.
3573
3574		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3575		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3576
3577		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3578		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3579		loaded does not have a signature.
3580		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3581		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3582		will be caught.
3583		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3584		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3585		and thus should be skipped silently.
3586
3587		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3588		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3589		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3590		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3591
3592		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3593		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3594

3603		CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3604		Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3605		See also: doc/README.falcon

3636		used in raw mode
3637
3638		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3639		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3640		used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3641
3642		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3643		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3644		Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3645		parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3646		(for falcon mode)
3647

3667		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3668
3669		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3670		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3671		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3672		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3673		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3674
3675		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3676		Avoid SPL relocation
3677
3678		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3679		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires
3680		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3681

3684
3685		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3686		Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3687
3688		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE

3690		expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3691
3692		CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT

3694		environment on NAND support within SPL.
3695
3696		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3697		Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3698		if you need to save space.
3699
3700		CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT
3701		Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for
3702		drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary.
3703

3706		SPL binary.
3707
3708		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3709		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3710		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3711		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3712		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3713		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3714		to read U-Boot
3715
3716		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3717		Add support NAND boot
3718
3719		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3720		Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3721
3722		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3723		Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3724
3725		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3726		Size of image to load
3727
3728		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3729		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3730
3731		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3732		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3733		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3734
3735		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3736		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3737		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3738
3739		CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
3740		Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary

3748		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3749		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3750
3751		CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT
3752		Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary
3753
3754		CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
3755		Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3756
3757		CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3758		Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3759		It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3760		CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3761
3762		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3763		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3764		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3765		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3766		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3767		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3768
3769		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3770		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3771		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3772		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3773
3774		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3775		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3776		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3777		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3778		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3779
3780- TPL framework
3781		CONFIG_TPL
3782		Enable building of TPL globally.
3783
3784		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3785		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3786		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3787		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3788		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3789		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3790
3791Modem Support:
3792--------------
3793
3794[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3795
3796- Modem support enable:
3797		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3798
3799- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3800		CONFIG_HWFLOW
3801
3802- Modem debug support:
3803		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3804
3805		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3806		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3807
3808- Interrupt support (PPC):
3809
3810		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3811		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3812		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3813		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3814		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3815		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3816		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3817		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3818		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3819		general timer_interrupt().
3820
3821- General:
3822
3823		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3824		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3825		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3826		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3827		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3828		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3829		initialization.
3830
3831		If there are no modem init strings in the
3832		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3833		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3834		suppressed, though.
3835
3836		See also: doc/README.Modem
3837
3838Board initialization settings:
3839------------------------------
3840
3841During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3842to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3843before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3844following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3845architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3846typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3847
3848- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3849- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3850- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3851- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3852
3853Configuration Settings:
3854-----------------------
3855
3856- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3857		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3858
3859- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3860		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3861
3862- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3863		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3864
3865- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3866		prompt for user input.
3867
3868- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3869
3870- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3871
3872- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3873
3874- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3875		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3876		booted
3877
3878- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3879		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3880
3881- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3882		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3883
3884- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3885		If the board specific function
3886			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3887		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3888		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3889
3890- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3891		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3892
3893- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3894		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3895
3896- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3897		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3898		simple memory test.
3899
3900- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3901		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3902
3903- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3904		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3905		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3906
3907- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3908		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3909		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3910		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3911		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3912		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3913		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3914		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3915		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3916		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3917
3918		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3919		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3920		be touched.
3921
3922		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3923		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3924		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3925		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3926		problems.
3927
3928- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3929		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3930
3931- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3932		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3933
3934- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3935		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3936		Cogent motherboard)
3937
3938- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3939		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3940
3941- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3942		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3943		make config files to be same as the text base address
3944		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3945		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3946
3947- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3948		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3949		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3950		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3951		flash sector.
3952
3953- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3954		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3955
3956- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3957		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3958		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3959		will become available before relocation. The address is just
3960		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3961		space.
3962
3963		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3964		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3965		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3966		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3967		U-Boot relocates itself.
3968
3969		Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
3970		at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3971
3972- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3973		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3974		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3975		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3976
3977- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3978		Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3979		typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3980		uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3981		otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3982		some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3983		cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3984		are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3985		cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3986		if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3987		size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3988		one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3989		written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3990		happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3991		buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3992		16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3993
3994		Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3995
3996- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3997		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3998		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3999		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
4000		to adjust this setting to your needs.
4001
4002- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
4003		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
4004		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
4005		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
4006		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
4007		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
4008		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
4009		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
4010		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4011		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4012		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
4013
4014- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
4015		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
4016		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
4017		is enabled.
4018
4019- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
4020		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
4021		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4022
4023- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
4024		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
4025		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4026
4027- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
4028		Max number of Flash memory banks
4029
4030- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
4031		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
4032
4033- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
4034		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
4035
4036- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
4037		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
4038
4039- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
4040		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
4041
4042- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
4043		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
4044
4045- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
4046		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4047		instead of U-Boot software protection.
4048
4049- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
4050
4051		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4052		without this option such a download has to be
4053		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4054		copy from RAM to flash.
4055
4056		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4057		you can check if the download worked before you erase
4058		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4059		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
4060		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4061
4062- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
4063		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
4064		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
4065
4066- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
4067		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
4068		in the drivers directory
4069
4070- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4071		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4072		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4073		to the MTD layer.
4074
4075- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
4076		Use buffered writes to flash.
4077
4078- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
4079		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
4080		write commands.
4081
4082- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
4083		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
4084		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4085		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4086		optionally available.
4087
4088- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4089		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4090		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4091		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4092
4093- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4094		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4095		against the source after the write operation. An error message
4096		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4097		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4098		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4099		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4100		this option if you really know what you are doing.
4101
4102- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
4103		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4104		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
4105		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4106		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
4107		on high Ethernet traffic.
4108		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
4109
4110- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
4111
4112	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4113	internally to store the environment settings. The default
4114	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4115	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4116	lib/hashtable.c for details.
4117
4118- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4119- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4120	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
4121	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4122	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4123	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4124
4125	The format of the list is:
4126		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
4127		access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
4128		attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
4129		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4130		list = entry[,list]
4131
4132	The type attributes are:
4133		s - String (default)
4134		d - Decimal
4135		x - Hexadecimal
4136		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4137		i - IP address
4138		m - MAC address
4139
4140	The access attributes are:
4141		a - Any (default)
4142		r - Read-only
4143		o - Write-once
4144		c - Change-default
4145
4146	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4147		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4148		environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4149
4150	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4151		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4152		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4153		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
4154		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4155		".flags" variable.
4156
4157- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4158	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4159	access flags.
4160
4161- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4162	This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4163	architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4164	to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4165	arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4166	common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4167	must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).
4168	If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report
4169	the problem and send patches!
4170
4171- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4172	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4173	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4174	the value can be calculated on a given board.
4175
4176- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4177	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4178	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4179	building U-Boot to enable this.
4180
4181The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4182of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4183following configurations:
4184
4185- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4186
4187	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4188	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4189
4190- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4191
4192	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4193
4194	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4195	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4196	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4197	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4198	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4199	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4200	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4201	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4202	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4203	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4204	   between U-Boot and the environment.
4205
4206	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4207
4208	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4209	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4210	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4211	   for this sector is given here.
4212
4213	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4214
4215	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4216
4217	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
4218	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4219	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
4220
4221	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4222
4223	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
4224
4225
4226	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4227	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4228	   the environment.
4229
4230	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4231
4232	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4233	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4234	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4235	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4236
4237	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4238	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4239	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4240	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4241	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4242	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
4243	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4244	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4245	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
4246
4247	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4248	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4249
4250	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4251	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4252	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4253	   a "saveenv" operation.
4254
4255BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4256source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4257accordingly!
4258
4259
4260- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4261
4262	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4263	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4264	environment.
4265
4266	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4267	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4268
4269	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4270	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4271	  can just be read and written to, without any special
4272	  provision.
4273
4274BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4275in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4276console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4277U-Boot will hang.
4278
4279Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4280environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4281keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4282to save the current settings.
4283
4284
4285- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4286
4287	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4288	device and a driver for it.
4289
4290	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4291	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4292
4293	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4294	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4295
4296	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4297	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4298	  The default address is zero.
4299
4300	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4301	  If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4302
4303	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4304	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4305	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
4306	  would require six bits.
4307
4308	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4309	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4310	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
4311
4312	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4313	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
4314	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
4315
4316	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4317	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4318	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4319	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4320	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4321	  byte chips.
4322
4323	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4324	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4325	  in the chip address.
4326
4327	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4328	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4329
4330	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4331	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4332	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4333
4334	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4335	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4336	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4337	  EEPROM. For example:
4338
4339	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
4340
4341	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4342	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4343
4344- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4345
4346	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4347	want to use for the environment.
4348
4349	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4350	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4351	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4352
4353	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4354	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4355	  at the specified address.
4356
4357- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4358
4359	Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4360	want to use for the environment.
4361
4362	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4363	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4364
4365	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4366	  environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4367	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4368
4369	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4370
4371	  Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4372
4373	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4374
4375	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4376	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4377	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4378	  during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4379	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4380
4381	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4382	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4383
4384	  Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4385
4386	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4387
4388	  Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4389
4390	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4391
4392	  Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4393
4394- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4395
4396	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4397	want to use for the local device's environment.
4398
4399	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4400	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4401
4402	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4403	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
4404	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
4405	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4406
4407BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4408"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4409environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4410but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4411
4412- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4413
4414	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4415	for the environment.
4416
4417	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4418	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4419
4420	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4421	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4422	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4423
4424	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4425
4426	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4427	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4428	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4429	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4430	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4431
4432	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4433
4434	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4435	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4436	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4437	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4438	  the range to be avoided.
4439
4440	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4441
4442	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4443	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
4444	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4445	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4446	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4447
4448- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4449
4450	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4451	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4452	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4453
4454- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4455
4456	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4457	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4458	accesses, which is important on NAND.
4459
4460	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4461
4462	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4463
4464	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4465
4466	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4467	  environment in.
4468
4469	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4470
4471	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4472	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4473	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4474
4475	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4476	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4477
4478	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4479	  when storing the env in UBI.
4480
4481- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4482       Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4483
4484       - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4485
4486         Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4487
4488       - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4489
4490         Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4491         be as following:
4492
4493           "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4494               - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4495                        partition table.
4496               - "D:0": device D.
4497               - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4498                              table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4499                              table.
4500               - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4501                           If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4502                           partition table then means device D.
4503
4504       - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4505
4506         It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4507         environment.
4508
4509       - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4510         This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4511
4512- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4513
4514	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4515	environment.
4516
4517	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4518
4519	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4520
4521	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4522
4523	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4524	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4525	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4526
4527	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4528	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4529
4530	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4531	  area within the specified MMC device.
4532
4533	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4534	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4535	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4536	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4537	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4538	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4539	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4540
4541	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4542	  MMC sector boundary.
4543
4544	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4545
4546	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4547	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4548	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4549	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4550
4551	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4552	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4553
4554	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4555	  an MMC sector boundary.
4556
4557	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4558
4559	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4560	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4561	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4562
4563- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4564
4565	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4566	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4567	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4568	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4569	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4570	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4571	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4572
4573Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4574has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4575created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4576until then to read environment variables.
4577
4578The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4579is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4580with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4581necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4582"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4583have any device yet where we could complain.]
4584
4585Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4586the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4587use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4588
4589- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4590		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4591
4592		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4593		      also needs to be defined.
4594
4595- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4596		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4597
4598- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4599		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4600		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4601		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4602		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4603		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4604
4605- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4606		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4607		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4608		to do this.
4609
4610- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4611		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4612		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4613		present.
4614
4615- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4616		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4617		build system checks that the actual size does not
4618		exceed it.
4619
4620Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4621---------------------------------------------------
4622
4623- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4624		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4625
4626- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4627		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4628
4629		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4630		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4631		the IMMR register after a reset.
4632
4633- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4634		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4635		PowerPC SOCs.
4636
4637- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4638		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4639		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4640
4641		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4642		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4643
4644- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4645		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4646		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4647		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4648		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4649		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4650		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4651
4652		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4653			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4654
4655- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4656		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4657		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4658		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4659		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4660
4661- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4662		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4663		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4664		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4665
4666- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4667		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4668		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4669
4670- Floppy Disk Support:
4671		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4672
4673		the default drive number (default value 0)
4674
4675		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4676
4677		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4678		(default value 1)
4679
4680		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4681
4682		defines the offset of register from address. It
4683		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4684		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4685
4686		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4687		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4688		default value.
4689
4690		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4691		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4692		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4693		source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4694		initializations.
4695
4696- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4697		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4698		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4699		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4700		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4701		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4702		is required.
4703
4704- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4705		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4706		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4707
4708- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4709
4710		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4711		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4712		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4713		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4714		will become available only after programming the
4715		memory controller and running certain initialization
4716		sequences.
4717
4718		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4719		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4720		- MPC824X: data cache
4721		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4722
4723- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4724
4725		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4726		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4727		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4728		data is located at the end of the available space
4729		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4730		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4731		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4732		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4733
4734	Note:
4735		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4736		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4737		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4738		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4739		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4775		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
4776
4777- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4778		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4779		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
4780
4781- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:

4792		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4793
4794- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4795		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4796		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4797		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

4799
4800- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,

4812		required.
4813
4814- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4815		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4816		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4817		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4818		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4819		by coreboot or similar.

4886		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4887
4888- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4889		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4890
4891- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4892		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4893		to the given FEC; i. e.
4894			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4895		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4896
4897		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4898
4899- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4900		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4901		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4902
4903- CONFIG_RMII
4904		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4905		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4906		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4907
4908- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4909		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4910		The syntax is:
4911
4912		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4913
4914		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4915		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4916		area should have.
4917
4918- CONFIG_LOOPW
4919		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4920		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4921
4922- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4923		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4924		"md/mw" commands.
4925		Examples:
4926
4927		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4928		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4929
4930		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4931		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4932
4933		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4934		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4935
4936- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4937		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4938		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4939		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4940		relocate itself into RAM.
4941
4942		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4943		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4944		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4945		these initializations itself.
4946
4947- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4948		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4949		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4950		compiling a NAND SPL.
4951
4952- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4953		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4954		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4955		It is loaded by the SPL.
4956
4957- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4958		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4959		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4960		previous 4k of the .text section.
4961
4962- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4963		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4964		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4965		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4966		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4967		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4968		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4969		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4970
4971- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4972  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4973		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4974		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4975		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4976
4977- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4978		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4979		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4980
4981- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4982		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4983
4984		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4985
4986- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4987		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4988
4989- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4990		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4991		driver that uses this:
4992		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4993
4994Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4995-----------------------------------
4996
4997The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4998loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4999This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5000are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5001within that device.
5002
5003- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
5004	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
5005	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5006	is also specified.
5007
5008- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
5009	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
5010	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5011	is also specified.
5012
5013- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5014	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
5015	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5016	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5017	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5018
5019- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5020	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5021	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5022	virtual address in NOR flash.
5023
5024- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
5025	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
5026	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
5027
5028- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
5029	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
5030	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5031
5032- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
5033	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5034	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5035
5036- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5037	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5038	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
5039	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5040	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
5041	master's memory space.
5042
5043Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
5044---------------------------------------------------------
5045The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5046"firmware".
5047This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5048are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5049within that device.
5050
5051- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5052	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5053
5054- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5055	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
5056	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5057	is also specified.
5058
5059- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5060	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
5061	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5062	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5063	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5064
5065- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5066	Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5067	normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
5068	virtual address in NOR flash.
5069
5070Building the Software:
5071======================
5072
5073Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5074and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5075all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5076(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5077recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5078which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
5079
5080If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5081have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5082you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5083Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5084necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
5085
5086	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5087	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
5088
5089Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5090      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5091      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5092      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
5093
5094       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5095
5096      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5097      be executed on computers running Windows.
5098
5099U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5100sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
5101is done by typing:
5102
5103	make NAME_defconfig
5104
5105where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5106rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5107
5108Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5109      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5110      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5111      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5112      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5113
5114      make TQM823L_defconfig
5115	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5116
5117      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5118	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5119
5120      etc.
5121
5122
5123Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5124images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5125
5126- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5127- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5128- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5129
5130By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5131in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5132this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5133
51341. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5135
5136	make O=/tmp/build distclean
5137	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5138	make O=/tmp/build all
5139
51402. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5141
5142	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5143	make distclean
5144	make NAME_defconfig
5145	make all
5146
5147Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5148variable.
5149
5150
5151Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5152for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5153native "make".
5154
5155
5156If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5157to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5158steps:
5159
51601.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
5161    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5162    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
51632.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5164    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5165    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51663.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5167    your board
51683.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5169    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
51704.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
51715.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5172    to be installed on your target system.
51736.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5174    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5175
5176
5177Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5178==============================================================
5179
5180If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5181or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5182provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5183the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5184official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5185
5186But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5187cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5188the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5189just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5190for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5191select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5192environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5193you can type
5194
5195	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5196
5197or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5198
5199	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5200
5201When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5202U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5203setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5204built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5205<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5206location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5207variable. For example:
5208
5209	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5210	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5211	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5212
5213With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5214log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5215during the whole build process.

5270Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
5271========================================
5272
5273TODO.
5274
5275For now: just type "help <command>".
5276
5277
5278Environment Variables:
5279======================
5280
5281U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5282can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5283
5284Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5285"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5286without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5287environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5288working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5289environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5290
5291Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5292
5293List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5294
5295  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5296
5297  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5298
5299  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5300
5301  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5302
5303  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
5304
5305  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5306		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5307		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5308		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5309		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5310		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5311		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5312		  bootm_mapsize.
5313
5314  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5315		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5316		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5317		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5318		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5319		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5320		  used otherwise.
5321
5322  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5323		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5324		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5325		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5326		  environment variable.
5327
5328  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5329		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5330		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5331
5332  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5333		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5334		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5335		  load any image using TFTP
5336
5337  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5338		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5339		  be automatically started (by internally calling
5340		  "bootm")
5341
5342		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5343		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5344		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5345		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5346		  data.
5347
5348  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5349		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5350		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5351		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5352		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5353		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5354		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5355		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5356		  access it during the boot procedure.
5357
5358		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5359		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
5360		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5361		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5362		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5363		  must be accessible by the kernel.
5364
5365  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5366		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5367		  defined.
5368
5369  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5370		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5371		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5372		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5373		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
5374
5375  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
5376		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5377		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5378		  is usually what you want since it allows for
5379		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5380		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5381		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5382		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5383		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5384		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5385		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5386
5387		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5388		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5389		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5390		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5391		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5392		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
5393
5394		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5395
5396		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5397		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5398		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5399		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5400		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5401		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
5402		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5403
5404  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5405
5406  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5407		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5408
5409  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5410
5411  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5412
5413  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5414
5415  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5416
5417  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5418
5419  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
5420
5421  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
5422		  For example you can do the following
5423
5424		  => setenv ethact FEC
5425		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5426		  => setenv ethact SCC
5427		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5428
5429  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5430		  available network interfaces.
5431		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5432
5433  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
5434		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
5435		  When set to "once" the network operation will
5436		  fail when all the available network interfaces
5437		  are tried once without success.
5438		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5439		  themselves.
5440
5441  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
5442
5443  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5444		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5445		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5446		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5447		  is silent.
5448
5449  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5450		  UDP source port.
5451
5452  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5453		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5454
5455  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5456		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
5457
5458  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5459		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5460		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5461		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5462		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5463		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5464		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
5465
5466  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5467		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5468		  VLAN tagged frames.
5469
5470The following image location variables contain the location of images
5471used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5472not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5473variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5474server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5475loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5476flash or offset in NAND flash.
5477
5478*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5479boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5480boards use these variables for other purposes.
5481
5482Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
5483-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
5484u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
5485Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
5486device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
5487ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
5488
5489The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5490updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5491depending the information provided by your boot server:
5492
5493  bootfile	- see above
5494  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
5495  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5496  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5497  hostname	- Target hostname
5498  ipaddr	- see above
5499  netmask	- Subnet Mask
5500  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5501  serverip	- see above
5502
5503
5504There are two special Environment Variables:
5505
5506  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
5507		  as type string and/or serial number
5508  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
5509
5510These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5511the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5512once they have been set once.
5513
5514
5515Further special Environment Variables:
5516
5517  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5518		  with the "version" command. This variable is
5519		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5520
5521
5522Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5523only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5524
5525
5526Callback functions for environment variables:
5527---------------------------------------------
5528
5529For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5530when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
5531be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
5532deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5533effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5534
5535The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5536U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5537
5538These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
5539static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5540in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5541associations.  The list must be in the following format:
5542
5543	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5544	list = entry[,list]
5545
5546If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5547Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5548
5549Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5550with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5551override any association in the static list. You can define
5552CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5553".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5554
5555
5556Command Line Parsing:
5557=====================
5558
5559There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5560the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5561
5562Old, simple command line parser:
5563--------------------------------
5564
5565- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5566- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5567- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5568- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5569  for example:
5570	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5571- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5572	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5573
5574Hush shell:
5575-----------
5576
5577- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5578  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5579  until...do...done, ...
5580- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5581  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5582  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5583  command
5584
5585General rules:
5586--------------
5587
5588(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5589    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5590    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5591    executed anyway.
5592
5593(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5594    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5595    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5596    variables are not executed.
5597
5598Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5599=======================================
5600
5601Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5602such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5603"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5604
5605Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5606MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5607"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5608
5609If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5610in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5611ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5612variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5613
5614o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5615  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5616
5617o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5618  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5619  used.
5620
5621o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5622  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5623
5624o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5625  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5626  warning is printed.
5627
5628o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5629  is raised.
5630
5631If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5632will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5633may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5634The naming convention is as follows:
5635"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5636
5637Image Formats:
5638==============
5639
5640U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5641images in two formats:
5642
5643New uImage format (FIT)
5644-----------------------
5645
5646Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5647to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5648components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5649SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5650
5651
5652Old uImage format
5653-----------------
5654
5655Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5656preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5657details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5658
5659* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5660  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5661  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5662  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5663  INTEGRITY).
5664* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5665  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5666  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5667* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5668* Load Address
5669* Entry Point
5670* Image Name
5671* Image Timestamp
5672
5673The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5674and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5675CRC32 checksums.
5676
5677
5678Linux Support:
5679==============
5680
5681Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5682easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5683U-Boot.
5684
5685U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5686special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5687"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5688instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5689serves several purposes:
5690
5691- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5692  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5693  Flash memory footprint)
5694
5695- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5696  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5697
5698- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5699  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5700  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5701  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5702  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5703  software is easier now.
5704
5705
5706Linux HOWTO:
5707============
5708
5709Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5710---------------------------------------
5711
5712U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5713configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5714(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5715Linux :-).
5716
5717But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5718
5719Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5720include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5721Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5722and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5723as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5724
5725Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5726If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5727is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5728doc/driver-model.
5729
5730
5731Configuring the Linux kernel:
5732-----------------------------
5733
5734No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5735device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5736
5737
5738Building a Linux Image:
5739-----------------------
5740
5741With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5742not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5743"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5744U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5745which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5746100% compatible format.
5747
5748Example:
5749
5750	make TQM850L_defconfig
5751	make oldconfig
5752	make dep
5753	make uImage
5754
5755The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5756encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5757CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5758
5759* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5760
5761* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5762
5763	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5764				 -R .note -R .comment \
5765				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5766
5767* compress the binary image:
5768
5769	gzip -9 linux.bin
5770
5771* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5772
5773	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5774		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5775		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5776
5777
5778The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5779with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5780combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5781byte header containing information about target architecture,
5782operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5783stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5784
5785"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5786print the header information, or to build new images.
5787
5788In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5789contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5790checksum verification:
5791
5792	tools/mkimage -l image
5793	  -l ==> list image header information
5794
5795The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5796from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5797
5798	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5799		      -n name -d data_file image
5800	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5801	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5802	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5803	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5804	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5805	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5806	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5807	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5808
5809Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5810address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5811kernel version:
5812
5813- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5814- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5815
5816So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5817
5818	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5819	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5820	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5821	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5822	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5823	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5824	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5825	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5826	Load Address: 0x00000000
5827	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5828
5829To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5830
5831	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5832	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5833	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5834	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5835	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5836	Load Address: 0x00000000
5837	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5838
5839NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5840speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5841needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5842need to be uncompressed:
5843
5844	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5845	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5846	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5847	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5848	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5849	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5850	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5851	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5852	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB

5857Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5858when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5859
5860	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5861	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5862	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5863	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5864	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5865	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5866	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5867	Load Address: 0x00000000
5868	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5869
5870The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5871option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5872option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5873from the image:
5874
5875	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5876	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5877	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5878	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5879
5880
5881Installing a Linux Image:
5882-------------------------
5883
5884To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5885you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5886
5887	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5888
5889The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5890image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5891address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5892specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5893command.
5894
5895Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5896TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5897
5898	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5899
5900	.......... done
5901	Erased 8 sectors
5902

5909	[file transfer complete]
5910	[connected]
5911	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5912
5913
5914You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5915this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5916corruption happened:
5917
5918	=> imi 40100000
5919

5929Boot Linux:
5930-----------
5931
5932The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5933memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5934of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5935parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5936"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5937
5938
5939	=> printenv bootargs
5940	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5941
5942	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

6015First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section

6061More About U-Boot Image Types:
6062------------------------------
6063
6064U-Boot supports the following image types:
6065
6066   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6067	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6068	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6069	the Standalone Program.
6070   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6071	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6072	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6073	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6074	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6075   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6076	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6077	being started.
6078   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6079	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6080	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6081	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6082	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6083	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6084
6085	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6086	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6087	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6088	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6089	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6090	a multiple of 4 bytes).
6091
6092   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6093	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6094	flash memory.
6095
6096   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6097	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6098	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6099	as command interpreter.
6100
6101Booting the Linux zImage:
6102-------------------------
6103
6104On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6105using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6106as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6107
6108Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
6109kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6110address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6111format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
6112
6113
6114Standalone HOWTO:
6115=================
6116
6117One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6118run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6119U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6120
6121Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6122
6123"Hello World" Demo:
6124-------------------
6125
6126'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6127application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6128It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6129like that:
6130
6131	=> loads
6132	## Ready for S-Record download ...
6133	~>examples/hello_world.srec
6134	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6135	[file transfer complete]
6136	[connected]
6137	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6138
6139	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6140	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6141	Hello World
6142	argc = 7
6143	argv[0] = "40004"
6144	argv[1] = "Hello"
6145	argv[2] = "World!"
6146	argv[3] = "This"
6147	argv[4] = "is"
6148	argv[5] = "a"
6149	argv[6] = "test."
6150	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6151	Hit any key to exit ...
6152
6153	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6154
6155Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6156handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6157Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6158The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6159character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6160controlled by the following keys:
6161
6162	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6163	b - enable interrupts and start timer
6164	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6165	q - quit application
6166
6167	=> loads
6168	## Ready for S-Record download ...

6202Minicom warning:
6203================
6204
6205Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6206"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6207consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6208Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6209especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
6210use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
6211http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6212for help with kermit.
6213
6214
6215Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6216configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
6217
6218	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
6219	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

6223NetBSD Notes:
6224=============
6225
6226Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6227(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6228
6229Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6230NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6231need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6232Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6233attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6234missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6235
6236	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6237	# mkdir powerpc
6238	# ln -s powerpc machine
6239	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6240	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6241
6242Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6243and U-Boot include files.
6244
6245Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6246stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6247proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6248tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6249meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6250
6251
6252Implementation Internals:
6253=========================
6254
6255The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6256implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6257inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6258hardware.
6259
6260
6261Initial Stack, Global Data:
6262---------------------------
6263
6264The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6265starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6266system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6267This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6268is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6269at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6270options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6271models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6272MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6273locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6274
6275	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6276	U-Boot mailing list:
6277
6278	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6279	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6280	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6281	...
6282
6283	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6284	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6285	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6286	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6287	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6288	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6289	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6290	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6291
6292	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6293	is another option for the system designer to use as an
6294	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6295	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6296	board designers haven't used it for something that would
6297	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6298	used.
6299
6300	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6301	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6302	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6303	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6304	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6305	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6306	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6307	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6308	you get the config right.

6313It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6314code for the initialization procedures:
6315
6316* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6317  to write it.
6318
6319* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6320  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6321  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6322
6323* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6324  that.
6325
6326Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6327normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6328turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6329simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6330functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6331functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6332the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6333place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6334reserve for this purpose.
6335
6336When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6337relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
6338GCC's implementation.
6339
6340For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6341	R1:	stack pointer
6342	R2:	reserved for system use
6343	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
6344	R5-R10: parameter passing
6345	R13:	small data area pointer
6346	R30:	GOT pointer
6347	R31:	frame pointer
6348
6349	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6350	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6351	going back and forth between asm and C)
6352
6353    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6354
6355    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6356    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6357    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6358    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6359    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6360    624 text + 127 data).
6361
6362On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6363	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6364
6365    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6366
6367On ARM, the following registers are used:
6368
6369	R0:	function argument word/integer result
6370	R1-R3:	function argument word
6371	R9:	platform specific
6372	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6373	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
6374	R12:	temporary workspace
6375	R13:	stack pointer
6376	R14:	link register
6377	R15:	program counter
6378
6379    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6380
6381    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6382
6383On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6384	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6385
6386    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6387
6388    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6389    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6390
6391On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6392
6393	R0-R1:	argument/return
6394	R2-R5:	argument
6395	R15:	temporary register for assembler
6396	R16:	trampoline register
6397	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
6398	R29:	global pointer (GP)
6399	R30:	link register (LP)
6400	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
6401	PC:	program counter (PC)
6402
6403    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6404
6405NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6406or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6407
6408Memory Management:
6409------------------
6410
6411U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6412MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6413
6414The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6415controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6416memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6417physical memory banks.
6418
6419U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6420TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6421booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6422to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6423memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6424configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6425Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6426
6427Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6428of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6429
6430So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6431this:
6432
6433	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
6434	      :
6435	0x0000 1FFF
6436	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
6437	      :
6438	      :
6439
6440	      :
6441	      :
6442	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6443	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6444	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
6445	      :
6446	0x00FD FFFF
6447	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6448	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6449	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6450	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
6451
6452
6453System Initialization:
6454----------------------
6455
6456In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6457(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6458configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6459To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6460To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6461initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6462which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6463part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6464the caches and the SIU.
6465
6466Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6467preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6468(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6469on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6470programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6471simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6472banks.
6473
6474When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6475different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6476bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64770x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6478contiguous memory starting from 0.
6479
6480Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6481and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6482Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6483pages, and the final stack is set up.
6484
6485Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6486until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6487running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6488new address in RAM.

6565Coding Standards:
6566-----------------
6567
6568All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6569coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6570"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6571
6572Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6573MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6574reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6575sources.
6576
6577Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6578Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6579in your code.
6580
6581Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6582- remove any trailing white space
6583- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6584- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6585- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6586- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6587
6588Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6589with a request to reformat the changes.
6590
6591
6592Submitting Patches:
6593-------------------
6594
6595Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6596establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6597may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6598
6599Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6600
6601Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6602see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6603
6604When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6605it:
6606
6607* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6608  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6609  patch actually fixes something.
6610
6611* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6612  implementation.
6613
6614* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6615
6616* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6617
6618* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6619  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6620
6621* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6622  document these in the README file.
6623
6624* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6625  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6626  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6627  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6628  with some other mail clients.
6629
6630  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6631  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6632  GNU diff.
6633
6634  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6635  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6636  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6637  affected files).
6638
6639  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6640  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6641
6642* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6643  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6644
6645* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6646  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6647
6648
6649Notes:
6650
6651* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6652  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6653  for any of the boards.
6654
6655* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6656  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6657  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6658
6659* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6660  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6661  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6662  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6663  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6664  modification.
6665
6666* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6667  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6668  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6669  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
