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

Regular releases are identified by 137names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 138Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 139releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 140 141Examples: 142 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 143 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 144 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 145 146 147Directory Hierarchy: 148==================== 149 150/arch Architecture specific files 151 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 152 /cpu CPU specific files 153 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 154 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 155 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 156 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 157 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 158 /arm925t Files specific to ARM 925 CPUs 159 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 160 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 161 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 162 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 163 /s3c44b0 Files specific to Samsung S3C44B0 CPUs 164 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 165 /lib Architecture specific library files 166 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 167 /cpu CPU specific files 168 /lib Architecture specific library files 169 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 170 /cpu CPU specific files 171 /lib Architecture specific library files 172 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 173 /cpu CPU specific files 174 /lib Architecture specific library files 175 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 176 /cpu CPU specific files 177 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 178 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 179 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 180 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 181 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 182 /lib Architecture specific library files 183 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 184 /cpu CPU specific files 185 /lib Architecture specific library files 186 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 187 /cpu CPU specific files 188 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 189 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 190 /lib Architecture specific library files 191 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 192 /cpu CPU specific files 193 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 194 /lib Architecture specific library files 195 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 196 /cpu CPU specific files 197 /lib Architecture specific library files 198 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 199 /cpu CPU specific files 200 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 201 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 202 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 203 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 204 /mpc8220 Files specific to Freescale MPC8220 CPUs 205 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 206 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 207 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 208 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 209 /lib Architecture specific library files 210 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 211 /cpu CPU specific files 212 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 213 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 214 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 215 /lib Architecture specific library files 216 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 217 /cpu CPU specific files 218 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 219 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 220 /lib Architecture specific library files 221/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 222/board Board dependent files 223/common Misc architecture independent functions 224/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 225/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 226/drivers Commonly used device drivers 227/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 228/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 229/include Header Files 230/lib Files generic to all architectures 231 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 232 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 233 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 234/net Networking code 235/post Power On Self Test 236/rtc Real Time Clock drivers 237/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 238 239Software Configuration: 240======================= 241 242Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 243rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 244 245There are two classes of configuration variables: 246 247* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 248 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 249 "CONFIG_". 250 251* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 252 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 253 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 254 "CONFIG_SYS_". 255 256Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 257identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 258do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 259links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 260as an example here. 261 262 263Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 264--------------------------------------------------- 265 266For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 267configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 268 269Example: For a TQM823L module type: 270 271 cd u-boot 272 make TQM823L_config 273 274For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 275e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 276directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 277 278 279Configuration Options: 280---------------------- 281 282Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 283such information is kept in a configuration file 284"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 285 286Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 287"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 288 289 290Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 291kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 292build a config tool - later. 293 294 295The following options need to be configured: 296 297- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 298 299- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 300 301- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 302 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 303 304- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 305 Define exactly one of 306 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 307--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 308 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 309 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 310 311- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 312 Define exactly one of 313 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 314 315- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 316 Define one or more of 317 CONFIG_CMA302 318 319- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 320 Define one or more of 321 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 322 the LCD display every second with 323 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 324 325- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 326 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 327 Possible values are: 328 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 329 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 330 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 331 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 332 333- Marvell Family Member 334 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 335 multiple fs option at one time 336 for marvell soc family 337 338- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 339 Define exactly one of 340 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 341 342- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 343 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 344 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 345 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 346 reference PIT/RTC clock 347 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 348 or XTAL/EXTAL) 349 350- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 351 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 352 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 353 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 354 See doc/README.MPC866 355 356 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 357 358 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 359 of relying on the correctness of the configured 360 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 361 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 362 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 363 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 364 365 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 366 367 Define this option if you want to enable the 368 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 369 370- 85xx CPU Options: 371 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 372 373 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 374 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 375 compliance, among other possible reasons. 376 377 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 378 379 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 380 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 381 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 382 383 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 384 385 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 386 tree nodes for the given platform. 387 388 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 389 390 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 391 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 392 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 393 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 394 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 395 purpose. 396 397 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 398 399 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 400 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 401 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 402 403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 404 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 405 406 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 407 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 408 409 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 410 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 411 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 412 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 413 414 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 415 this erratum. 416 417 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 418 419 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 420 according to the A004510 workaround. 421 422- Generic CPU options: 423 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 424 425 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 426 values is arch specific. 427 428- Intel Monahans options: 429 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 430 431 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 432 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 433 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 434 435 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 436 437 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 438 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 439 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 440 by this value. 441 442- MIPS CPU options: 443 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 444 445 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 446 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 447 relocation. 448 449 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 450 451 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 452 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 453 Possible values are: 454 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 455 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 456 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 457 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 458 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 459 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 460 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 461 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 462 463 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 464 465 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 466 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 467 468 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 469 470 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 471 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 472 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 473 474- ARM options: 475 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 476 477 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 478 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 479 480 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 481 482 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 483 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 484 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 485 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 486 GCC. 487 488 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 489 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 490 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 491 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 492 493 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 494 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 495 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 496 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 497 set these options unless they apply! 498 499- CPU timer options: 500 CONFIG_SYS_HZ 501 502 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). 503 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG 504 option must be set to 1000. 505 506- Linux Kernel Interface: 507 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 508 509 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 510 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 511 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 512 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 513 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 514 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 515 Linux kernel. 516 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 517 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 518 default environment. 519 520 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 521 522 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 523 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 524 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 525 526 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 527 528 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 529 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 530 concepts). 531 532 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 533 * New libfdt-based support 534 * Adds the "fdt" command 535 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 536 537 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 538 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 539 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 540 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 541 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 542 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 543 544 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 545 addresses 546 547 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 548 549 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 550 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 551 552 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 553 554 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 555 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 556 557 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 558 559 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 560 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 561 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 562 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 563 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 564 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 565 566 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 567 568 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 569 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 570 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 571 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 572 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 573 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 574 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 575 576- vxWorks boot parameters: 577 578 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 579 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 580 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 581 582 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 583 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 584 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 585 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 586 587 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 588 589 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 590 591 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 592 the defaults discussed just above. 593 594- Cache Configuration: 595 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 596 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 597 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 598 599- Cache Configuration for ARM: 600 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 601 controller 602 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 603 controller register space 604 605- Serial Ports: 606 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 607 608 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 609 610 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 611 612 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 613 614 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 615 616 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 617 the clock speed of the UARTs. 618 619 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 620 621 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 622 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 623 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 624 625 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 626 627 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 628 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 629 this variable to initialize the extra register. 630 631 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 632 633 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 634 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 635 variable to flush the UART at init time. 636 637 CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT 638 639 16550 UART set the Transmitter Empty (TEMT) Bit when all output 640 has finished and the transmitter is totally empty. U-Boot waits 641 for this bit to be set to initialize the serial console. On some 642 broken platforms this bit is not set in SPL making U-Boot to 643 hang while waiting for TEMT. Define this option to avoid it. 644 645 646- Console Interface: 647 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 648 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 649 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 650 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 651 652 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 653 port routines must be defined elsewhere 654 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 655 656 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 657 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 658 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 659 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 660 (default big endian) 661 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 662 rectangle fill 663 (cf. smiLynxEM) 664 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 665 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 666 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 667 (cols=pitch) 668 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 669 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 670 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 671 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 672 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 673 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 674 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 675 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 676 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 677 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 678 (i.e. i8042_getc) 679 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 680 (requires blink timer 681 cf. i8042.c) 682 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 683 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 684 upper right corner 685 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 686 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 687 upper left corner 688 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 689 linux_logo.h for logo. 690 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 691 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 692 additional board info beside 693 the logo 694 695 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 696 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 697 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 698 699 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 700 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 701 environment 'console=serial'. 702 703 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 704 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 705 the "silent" environment variable. See 706 doc/README.silent for more information. 707 708- Console Baudrate: 709 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 710 Select one of the baudrates listed in 711 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 712 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 713 714- Console Rx buffer length 715 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 716 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 717 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 718 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 719 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 720 the SMC. 721 722- Pre-Console Buffer: 723 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 724 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 725 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 726 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 727 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 728 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 729 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 730 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 731 earlier bytes are discarded. 732 733 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 734 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 735 736- Safe printf() functions 737 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 738 the printf() functions. These are defined in 739 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 740 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 741 If this option is not given then these functions will 742 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 743 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 744 745- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 746 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 747 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 748 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 749 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 750 751 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 752 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 753 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 754 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 755 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 756 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 759 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 761 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 762 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 763 764- Autoboot Command: 765 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 766 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 767 define a command string that is automatically executed 768 when no character is read on the console interface 769 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 770 771 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 772 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 773 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 774 environment value "bootargs". 775 776 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 777 The value of these goes into the environment as 778 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 779 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 780 RAM and NFS. 781 782- Pre-Boot Commands: 783 CONFIG_PREBOOT 784 785 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 786 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 787 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 788 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 789 entering interactive mode. 790 791 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 792 automatically generated or modified. For an example 793 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 794 modified when the user holds down a certain 795 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 796 booting the systems 797 798- Serial Download Echo Mode: 799 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 800 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 801 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 802 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 803 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 804 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 805 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 806 807- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 808 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 809 Select one of the baudrates listed in 810 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 811 812- Monitor Functions: 813 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 814 from the build by using the #include files 815 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 816 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 817 and augmenting with additional #define's 818 for wanted commands. 819 820 The default command configuration

network 921 support you can write: 922 923 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 924 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 925 926 Other Commands: 927 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 928 929 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 930 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 931 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 932 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 933 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 934 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 935 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 936 initial stack and some data. 937 938 939 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 940 941- Device tree: 942 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 943 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 944 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 945 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 946 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 947 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 948 949 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 950 be done using one of the two options below: 951 952 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 953 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 954 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 955 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 956 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 957 the global data structure as gd->blob. 958 959 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 960 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 961 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 962 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 963 964 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 965 966 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 967 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 968 still use the individual files if you need something more 969 exotic. 970 971- Watchdog: 972 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 973 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 974 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 975 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 976 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 977 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 978 available, then no further board specific code should 979 be needed to use it. 980 981 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 982 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 983 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 984 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 985 986- U-Boot Version: 987 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 988 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 989 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 990 version as printed by the "version" command. 991 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 992 next reset. 993 994- Real-Time Clock: 995 996 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 997 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 998 following options: 999 1000 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1001 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1002 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1003 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1004 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1005 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1006 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1007 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1008 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1009 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1010 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1011 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1012 RV3029 RTC. 1013 1014 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1015 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1016 1017- GPIO Support: 1018 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1019 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 1020 1021 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1022 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1023 pins supported by a particular chip. 1024 1025 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1026 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1027 1028- Timestamp Support: 1029 1030 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1031 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1032 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1033 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1034 1035- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1036 Zero or more of the following: 1037 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1038 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1039 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1040 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1041 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1042 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1043 disk/part_efi.c 1044 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1045 1046 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1047 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1048 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1049 1050- IDE Reset method: 1051 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1052 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1053 1054 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1055 be performed by calling the function 1056 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1057 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1058 1059- ATAPI Support: 1060 CONFIG_ATAPI 1061 1062 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1063 1064- LBA48 Support 1065 CONFIG_LBA48 1066 1067 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1068 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1069 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1070 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1071 1072 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1073 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1074 Default is 32bit. 1075 1076- SCSI Support: 1077 At the moment only there is only support for the 1078 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1079 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1080 1081 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1082 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1083 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1084 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1085 devices. 1086 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1087 1088 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1089 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1090 1091- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1092 CONFIG_E1000 1093 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1094 1095 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1096 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1097 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1098 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1099 1100 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1101 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1102 example with the "sspi" command. 1103 1104 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1105 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1106 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1107 1108 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1109 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1110 1111 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1112 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1113 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1114 write routine for first time initialisation. 1115 1116 CONFIG_TULIP 1117 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1118 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1119 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1120 1121 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1122 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1123 1124 CONFIG_NS8382X 1125 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1126 1127- NETWORK Support (other): 1128 1129 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1130 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1131 1132 CONFIG_RMII 1133 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1134 1135 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1136 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1137 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1138 1139 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1140 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1141 1142 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1143 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1144 1145 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1146 Define this to hold the physical address 1147 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1148 1149 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1150 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1151 1152 CONFIG_SMC91111 1153 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1154 1155 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1156 Define this to hold the physical address 1157 of the device (I/O space) 1158 1159 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1160 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1161 1162 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1163 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1164 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1165 1166 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1167 Support for davinci emac 1168 1169 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1170 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1171 1172 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1173 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1174 1175 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1176 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1177 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1178 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1179 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1180 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1181 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1182 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1183 1184 CONFIG_SMC911X 1185 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1186 1187 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1188 Define this to hold the physical address 1189 of the device (I/O space) 1190 1191 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1192 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1193 1194 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1195 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1196 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1197 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1198 1199 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1200 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1201 1202 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1203 Define the number of ports to be used 1204 1205 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1206 Define the ETH PHY's address 1207 1208 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1209 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1210 1211- TPM Support: 1212 CONFIG_GENERIC_LPC_TPM 1213 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1214 per system is supported at this time. 1215 1216 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1217 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1218 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1219 0xfed40000. 1220 1221- USB Support: 1222 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1223 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1224 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1225 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1226 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1227 storage devices. 1228 Note: 1229 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1230 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1231 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1232 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1233 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1234 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1235 for USB on PSC3 1236 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1237 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1238 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1239 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1240 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1241 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1242 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1243 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1244 1245 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1246 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1247 1248- USB Device: 1249 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1250 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1251 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1252 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1253 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1254 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1255 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1256 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1257 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1258 a Linux host by 1259 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1260 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1261 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1262 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1263 1264 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1265 Define this to build a UDC device 1266 1267 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1268 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1269 talk to the UDC device 1270 1271 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1272 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1273 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1274 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1275 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1276 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1277 speed. 1278 1279 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1280 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1281 be set to usbtty. 1282 1283 mpc8xx: 1284 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1285 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1286 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1287 1288 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1289 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1290 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1291 1292 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1293 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1294 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1295 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1296 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1297 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1298 1299 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1300 Define this string as the name of your company for 1301 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1302 1303 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1304 Define this string as the name of your product 1305 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1306 1307 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1308 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1309 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1310 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1311 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1312 1313 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1314 Define this as the unique Product ID 1315 for your device 1316 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1317 1318- ULPI Layer Support: 1319 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1320 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1321 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1322 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1323 viewport is supported. 1324 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1325 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1326 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1327 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1328 the appropriate value in Hz. 1329 1330- MMC Support: 1331 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1332 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1333 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1334 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1335 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1336 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1337 1338 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1339 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1340 1341 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1342 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1343 1344 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1345 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1346 1347- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1348 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1349 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1350 1351 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1352 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1353 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1354 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1355 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1356 1357 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1358 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1359 1360 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1361 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1362 1363 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1364 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1365 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1366 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1367 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1368 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1369 1370- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1371 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1372 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1373 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1374 1375 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1376 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1377 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1378 1379 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1380 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1381 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1382 1383 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1384 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1385 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1386 have not defined a custom partition 1387 1388- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1389 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1390 1391 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1392 file in FAT formatted partition. 1393 1394 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1395 user to write files to FAT. 1396 1397CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1398 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1399 1400 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1401 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1402 and cbfsload. 1403 1404- Keyboard Support: 1405 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1406 1407 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1408 support 1409 1410 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1411 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1412 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1413 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1414 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1415 1416- Video support: 1417 CONFIG_VIDEO 1418 1419 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1420 video). 1421 1422 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1423 1424 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1425 1426 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1427 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1428 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1429 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1430 assumed. 1431 1432 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1433 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1434 are possible: 1435 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1436 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1437 1438 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1439 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1440 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1441 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1442 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1443 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1444 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1445 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1446 1447 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1448 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1449 1450 1451 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1452 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1453 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1454 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1455 1456 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1457 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1458 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1459 support, and should also define these other macros: 1460 1461 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1462 CONFIG_VIDEO 1463 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1464 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1465 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1466 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1467 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1468 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1469 1470 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1471 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1472 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1473 description of this variable. 1474 1475 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1476 1477 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1478 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1479 driver. 1480 1481 1482- Keyboard Support: 1483 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1484 1485 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1486 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1487 defined in your board-specific files. 1488 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1489 1490- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1491 1492 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1493 display); also select one of the supported displays 1494 by defining one of these: 1495 1496 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1497 1498 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1499 1500 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1501 1502 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1503 1504 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1505 1506 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1507 Active, color, single scan. 1508 1509 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1510 1511 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1512 Active, color, single scan. 1513 1514 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1515 1516 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1517 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1518 1519 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1520 1521 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1522 Active, color, single scan. 1523 1524 CONFIG_HLD1045 1525 1526 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1527 Active, color, single scan. 1528 1529 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1530 1531 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1532 or 1533 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1534 or 1535 Hitachi SP14Q002 1536 1537 320x240. Black & white. 1538 1539 Normally display is black on white background; define 1540 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1541 1542 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1543 1544 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1545 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1546 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1547 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1548 a per-section basis. 1549 1550 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1551 1552 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1553 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1554 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1555 is slow. 1556 1557 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1558 1559 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1560 1561 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1562 1563 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1564 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1565 1566- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1567 1568 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1569 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1570 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1571 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1572 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1573 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1574 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1575 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1576 1577 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1578 1579 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1580 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1581 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses). 1582 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1583 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1584 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1585 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1586 there is no need to set this option. 1587 1588 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1589 1590 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1591 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1592 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1593 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1594 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1595 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1596 1597 Example: 1598 setenv splashpos m,m 1599 => image at center of screen 1600 1601 setenv splashpos 30,20 1602 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1603 1604 setenv splashpos -10,m 1605 => vertically centered image 1606 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1607 1608 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_PREPARE 1609 1610 If this option is set then the board_splash_screen_prepare() 1611 function, which must be defined in your code, is called as part 1612 of the splash screen display sequence. It gives the board an 1613 opportunity to prepare the splash image data before it is 1614 processed and sent to the frame buffer by U-Boot. 1615 1616- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1617 1618 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1619 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1620 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1621 1622- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1623 1624 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1625 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1626 bmp command. 1627 1628- Do compresssing for memory range: 1629 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1630 1631 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1632 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1633 1634- Compression support: 1635 CONFIG_BZIP2 1636 1637 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1638 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1639 compressed images are supported. 1640 1641 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1642 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1643 be at least 4MB. 1644 1645 CONFIG_LZMA 1646 1647 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1648 images is included. 1649 1650 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1651 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1652 formula: 1653 1654 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1655 1656 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1657 and Literal pos bits. 1658 1659 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1660 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1661 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1662 a very small buffer. 1663 1664 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1665 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1666 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1667 1668- MII/PHY support: 1669 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1670 1671 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1672 1673 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1674 1675 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1676 1677 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1678 1679 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1680 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1681 1682 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1683 1684 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1685 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1686 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1687 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1688 1689 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1690 1691 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1692 command issued before MII status register can be read 1693 1694- Ethernet address: 1695 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1696 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1697 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1698 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1699 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1700 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1701 1702 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1703 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1704 is not determined automatically. 1705 1706- IP address: 1707 CONFIG_IPADDR 1708 1709 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1710 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1711 determined through e.g. bootp. 1712 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1713 1714- Server IP address: 1715 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1716 1717 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1718 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1719 (Environment variable "serverip") 1720 1721 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1722 1723 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1724 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1725 1726- Gateway IP address: 1727 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1728 1729 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1730 default router where packets to other networks are 1731 sent to. 1732 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1733 1734- Subnet mask: 1735 CONFIG_NETMASK 1736 1737 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1738 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1739 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1740 forwarded through a router. 1741 (Environment variable "netmask") 1742 1743- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1744 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1745 1746 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1747 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1748 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1749 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1750 multicast group. 1751 1752- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1753 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1754 1755 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1756 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1757 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1758 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1759 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1760 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1761 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1762 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1763 following delays are inserted then: 1764 1765 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1766 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1767 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1768 4th and following 1769 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1770 1771- DHCP Advanced Options: 1772 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1773 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1774 1775 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1776 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1777 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1778 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1779 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1780 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1781 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1782 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1783 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1784 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1785 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1786 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1787 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1788 1789 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1790 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1791 1792 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1793 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1794 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1795 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1796 is not available. 1797 1798 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1799 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1800 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1801 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1802 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1803 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1804 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1805 is defined. 1806 1807 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1808 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1809 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1810 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1811 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1812 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1813 1814 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1815 1816 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1817 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1818 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1819 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1820 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1821 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1822 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1823 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1824 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1825 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1826 this delay. 1827 1828 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1829 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1830 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1831 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1832 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1833 1834 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1835 1836 - CDP Options: 1837 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1838 1839 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1840 1841 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1842 1843 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1844 of the device. 1845 1846 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1847 1848 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1849 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1850 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1851 1852 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1853 1854 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1855 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1856 1857 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1858 1859 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1860 1861 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1862 1863 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1864 1865 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1866 1867 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1868 1869 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1870 1871 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1872 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1873 1874 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1875 1876 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1877 1878- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1879 1880 Several configurations allow to display the current 1881 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1882 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1883 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1884 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1885 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1886 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1887 feature in U-Boot. 1888 1889- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1890 1891 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1892 on those systems that support this (optional) 1893 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1894 1895- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 1896 1897 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of 1898 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will 1899 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. 1900 1901 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 1902 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 1903 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 1904 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 1905 command line interface. 1906 1907 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 1908 1909 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka 1910 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware 1911 support for I2C. 1912 1913 There are several other quantities that must also be 1914 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. 1915 1916 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 1917 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 1918 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 1919 the CPU's i2c node address). 1920 1921 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 1922 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 1923 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 1924 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 1925 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 1926 1927 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 1928 1929 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1930 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1931 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 1932 commands until the slave device responds. 1933 1934 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 1935 1936 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) 1937 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1938 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1939 1940 I2C_INIT 1941 1942 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1943 controller or configure ports. 1944 1945 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1946 1947 I2C_PORT 1948 1949 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 1950 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 1951 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 1952 1953 I2C_ACTIVE 1954 1955 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 1956 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 1957 define can be null. 1958 1959 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 1960 1961 I2C_TRISTATE 1962 1963 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 1964 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 1965 define can be null. 1966 1967 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 1968 1969 I2C_READ 1970 1971 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 1972 false if it is low. 1973 1974 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 1975 1976 I2C_SDA(bit) 1977 1978 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 1979 is false, it clears it (low). 1980 1981 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 1982 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 1983 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 1984 1985 I2C_SCL(bit) 1986 1987 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 1988 is false, it clears it (low). 1989 1990 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 1991 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 1992 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 1993 1994 I2C_DELAY 1995 1996 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 1997 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 1998 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 1999 like: 2000 2001 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2002 2003 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2004 2005 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2006 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2007 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2008 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2009 2010 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2011 the generic GPIO functions. 2012 2013 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2014 2015 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2016 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2017 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2018 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2019 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2020 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2021 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2022 is run early in the boot sequence. 2023 2024 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2025 2026 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2027 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2028 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2029 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2030 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2031 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2032 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2033 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2034 2035 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2036 2037 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2038 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2039 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2040 2041 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2042 2043 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2044 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2045 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2046 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2047 2048 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2049 2050 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2051 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2052 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2053 a 1D array of device addresses 2054 2055 e.g. 2056 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2057 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2058 2059 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2060 2061 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2062 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2063 2064 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2065 2066 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2067 2068 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2069 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2070 2071 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2072 2073 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2074 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2075 2076 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2077 2078 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2079 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2080 2081 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2082 2083 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2084 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2085 specified DTT device. 2086 2087 CONFIG_FSL_I2C 2088 2089 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in 2090 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. 2091 2092 CONFIG_I2C_MUX 2093 2094 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n 2095 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C 2096 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a 2097 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the 2098 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for 2099 the muxes to activate this new "bus". 2100 2101 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this 2102 feature! 2103 2104 Example: 2105 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes 2106 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 2107 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 2108 2109 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 2110 2111 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list 2112 of I2C Busses with muxes: 2113 2114 => i2c bus 2115 Busses reached over muxes: 2116 Bus ID: 2 2117 reached over Mux(es): 2118 pca9544a@70 ch: 4 2119 Bus ID: 3 2120 reached over Mux(es): 2121 pca9544a@70 ch: 6 2122 pca9544a@71 ch: 4 2123 => 2124 2125 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" 2126 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable 2127 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable 2128 the channel 4. 2129 2130 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as 2131 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind 2132 the 2 muxes. 2133 2134 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging 2135 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C 2136 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult 2137 to add this option to other architectures. 2138 2139 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2140 2141 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2142 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2143 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2144 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2145 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2146 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2147 the other. 2148 2149- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2150 2151 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2152 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2153 D/As on the SACSng board) 2154 2155 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2156 2157 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2158 only SH7757 is supported. 2159 2160 CONFIG_SPI_X 2161 2162 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2163 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2164 2165 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2166 2167 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2168 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2169 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2170 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2171 defined, the board configuration must define several 2172 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2173 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2174 2175 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2176 2177 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2178 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2179 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2180 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2181 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2182 2183 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2184 2185 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2186 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2187 2188- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2189 2190 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2191 2192 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2193 2194 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2195 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2196 2197 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2198 2199 Enables support for FPGA family. 2200 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2201 2202 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2203 2204 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2205 2206 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2207 2208 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2209 2210 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2211 2212 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2213 status by the configuration function. This option 2214 will require a board or device specific function to 2215 be written. 2216 2217 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2218 2219 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2220 configuration driver. 2221 2222 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2223 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2224 2225 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2226 2227 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2228 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2229 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2230 indicated a CRC error). 2231 2232 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2233 2234 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2235 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2236 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2237 ms. 2238 2239 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2240 2241 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2242 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2243 2244 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2245 2246 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2247 200 ms. 2248 2249- Configuration Management: 2250 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2251 2252 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2253 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2254 2255- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2256 2257 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2258 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2259 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2260 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2261 protects these variables from casual modification by 2262 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2263 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2264 change this behaviour: 2265 2266 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2267 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2268 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2269 these parameters. 2270 2271 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2272 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2273 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2274 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2275 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2276 read-only.] 2277 2278 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2279 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2280 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2281 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2282 2283- Protected RAM: 2284 CONFIG_PRAM 2285 2286 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2287 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2288 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2289 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2290 this default value by defining an environment 2291 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2292 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2293 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2294 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2295 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2296 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2297 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2298 2299 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2300 saveenv 2301 2302 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2303 either, which results in a memory region that will 2304 not be affected by reboots. 2305 2306 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2307 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2308 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2309 following board configurations are known to be 2310 "pRAM-clean": 2311 2312 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2313 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2314 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2315 2316- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2317 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2318 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2319 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2320 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2321 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2322 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2323 2324- Error Recovery: 2325 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2326 2327 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2328 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2329 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2330 system where you want the system to reboot 2331 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2332 useful during development since you can try to debug 2333 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2334 2335 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2336 2337 This variable defines the number of retries for 2338 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2339 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2340 default value of 5 is used. 2341 2342 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2343 2344 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2345 2346 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2347 2348 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2349 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2350 try longer timeout such as 2351 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2352 2353- Command Interpreter: 2354 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2355 2356 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2357 2358 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2359 for the "hush" shell. 2360 2361 2362 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2363 2364 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2365 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2366 powerful command line syntax like 2367 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2368 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2369 2370 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2371 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2372 2373 2374 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2375 2376 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2377 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2378 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2379 2380 Note: 2381 2382 In the current implementation, the local variables 2383 space and global environment variables space are 2384 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2385 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2386 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2387 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2388 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2389 2390 Global environment variables are those you use 2391 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2392 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2393 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2394 2395 To store commands and special characters in a 2396 variable, please use double quotation marks 2397 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2398 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2399 symbols. 2400 2401- Commandline Editing and History: 2402 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2403 2404 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2405 commandline input operations 2406 2407- Default Environment: 2408 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2409 2410 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2411 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2412 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2413 2414 For example, place something like this in your 2415 board's config file: 2416 2417 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2418 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2419 "myvar2=value2\0" 2420 2421 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2422 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2423 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2424 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2425 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2426 You better know what you are doing here. 2427 2428 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2429 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2430 the environment like the "source" command or the 2431 boot command first. 2432 2433 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2434 2435 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2436 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2437 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2438 2439 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2440 2441 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2442 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2443 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2444 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2445 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2446 2447 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2448 2449 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2450 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2451 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2452 2453 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2454 2455 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2456 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2457 that so that the environment is not available until 2458 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2459 this is instead controlled by the value of 2460 /config/load-environment. 2461 2462- DataFlash Support: 2463 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2464 2465 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2466 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2467 commands cp, md... 2468 2469- Serial Flash support 2470 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2471 2472 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2473 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2474 2475 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2476 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2477 commands. 2478 2479 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2480 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2481 flash is present on the system. 2482 2483 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2484 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2485 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2486 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2487 2488 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2489 2490 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2491 test ('sf test'). 2492 2493- SystemACE Support: 2494 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2495 2496 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2497 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2498 of the chip must also be defined in the 2499 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2500 2501 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2502 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2503 2504 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2505 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2506 2507- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2508 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2509 2510 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2511 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2512 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2513 number generator is used. 2514 2515 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2516 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2517 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2518 2519 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2520 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2521 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2522 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2523 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2524 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2525 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2526 2527- Hashing support: 2528 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 2529 2530 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 2531 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 2532 2533 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 2534 2535 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 2536 size a little. 2537 2538 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 2539 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 2540 2541 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 2542 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 2543 2544- Show boot progress: 2545 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2546 2547 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2548 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2549 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2550 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2551 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2552 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2553 2554- Detailed boot stage timing 2555 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 2556 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 2557 of the boot process. 2558 2559 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 2560 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 2561 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 2562 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 2563 the limit, recording will stop. 2564 2565 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 2566 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 2567 2568 Timer summary in microseconds: 2569 Mark Elapsed Stage 2570 0 0 reset 2571 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 2572 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 2573 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 2574 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 2575 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 2576 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 2577 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 2578 2579 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 2580 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 2581 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 2582 2583 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 2584 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 2585 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 2586 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 2587 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 2588 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 2589 For example: 2590 2591 bootstage { 2592 154 { 2593 name = "board_init_f"; 2594 mark = <3575678>; 2595 }; 2596 170 { 2597 name = "lcd"; 2598 accum = <33482>; 2599 }; 2600 }; 2601 2602 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 2603 2604Legacy uImage format: 2605 2606 Arg Where When 2607 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 2608 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

best matches that of 2764 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 2765 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 2766 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 2767 2768- Standalone program support: 2769 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2770 2771 This option defines a board specific value for the 2772 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2773 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2774 settings. 2775 2776- Frame Buffer Address: 2777 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2778 2779 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2780 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 2781 when using a graphics controller has separate video 2782 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 2783 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 2784 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 2785 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 2786 configured panel size. 2787 2788 Please see board_init_f function. 2789 2790- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2791 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2792 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2793 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2794 2795 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2796 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2797 2798- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2799 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2800 2801 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2802 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2803 2804 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2805 2806 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2807 kernel.

This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 2954 2955 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 2956 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 2957 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 2958 2959 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 2960 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 2961 2962 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 2963 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 2964 2965 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 2966 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 2967 2968 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 2969 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 2970 2971 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 2972 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 2973 2974 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 2975 Linker address to which the SPL should be padded before 2976 appending the SPL payload. 2977 2978 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 2979 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 2980 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 2981 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 2982 2983Modem Support: 2984-------------- 2985 2986[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 2987 2988- Modem support enable: 2989 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 2990 2991- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 2992 CONFIG_HWFLOW 2993 2994- Modem debug support: 2995 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 2996 2997 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 2998 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 2999 3000- Interrupt support (PPC): 3001 3002 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3003 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3004 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3005 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3006 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3007 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3008 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3009 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3010 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3011 general timer_interrupt(). 3012 3013- General: 3014 3015 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3016 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3017 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3018 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3019 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3020 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3021 initialization. 3022 3023 If there are no modem init strings in the 3024 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3025 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3026 suppressed, though. 3027 3028 See also: doc/README.Modem 3029 3030Board initialization settings: 3031------------------------------ 3032 3033During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3034to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3035before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3036following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3037architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3038typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3039 3040- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3041- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3042- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3043- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3044 3045Configuration Settings: 3046----------------------- 3047 3048- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3049 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3050 3051- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3052 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3053 3054- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3055 prompt for user input. 3056 3057- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3058 3059- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3060 3061- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3062 3063- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3064 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3065 booted 3066 3067- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3068 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3069 3070- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3071 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3072 3073- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3074 If the board specific function 3075 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3076 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3077 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3078 3079- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3080 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3081 3082- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3083 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3084 3085- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3086 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3087 simple memory test. 3088 3089- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3090 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3091 3092- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3093 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3094 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3095 3096- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3097 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3098 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3099 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3100 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3101 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3102 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3103 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3104 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3105 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3106 3107 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3108 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3109 be touched. 3110 3111 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3112 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3113 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3114 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3115 problems. 3116 3117- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3118 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3119 3120- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3121 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3122 3123- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3124 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3125 Cogent motherboard) 3126 3127- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3128 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3129 3130- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3131 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3132 make config files to be same as the text base address 3133 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3134 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3135 3136- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3137 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3138 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3139 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3140 flash sector. 3141 3142- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3143 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3144 3145- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3146 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3147 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3148 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3149 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3150 3151- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3152 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3153 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3154 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3155 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3156 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3157 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3158 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3159 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3160 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3161 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3162 3163- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3164 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3165 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3166 is enabled. 3167 3168- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3169 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3170 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3171 3172- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3173 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3174 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3175 3176- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3177 Max number of Flash memory banks 3178 3179- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3180 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3181 3182- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3183 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3184 3185- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3186 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3187 3188- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3189 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3190 3191- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3192 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3193 3194- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3195 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3196 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3197 3198- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3199 3200 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3201 without this option such a download has to be 3202 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3203 copy from RAM to flash. 3204 3205 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3206 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3207 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3208 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3209 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3210 3211- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3212 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3213 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3214 3215- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3216 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3217 in the drivers directory 3218 3219- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3220 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3221 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3222 to the MTD layer. 3223 3224- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3225 Use buffered writes to flash. 3226 3227- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3228 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3229 write commands. 3230 3231- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3232 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3233 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3234 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3235 optionally available. 3236 3237- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3238 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3239 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3240 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3241 3242- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3243 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3244 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3245 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3246 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3247 on high Ethernet traffic. 3248 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3249 3250- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3251 3252 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3253 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3254 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3255 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3256 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3257 3258- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3259- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3260 Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when 3261 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3262 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3263 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3264 3265 The format of the list is: 3266 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3267 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3268 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3269 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3270 list = entry[,list] 3271 3272 The type attributes are: 3273 s - String (default) 3274 d - Decimal 3275 x - Hexadecimal 3276 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3277 i - IP address 3278 m - MAC address 3279 3280 The access attributes are: 3281 a - Any (default) 3282 r - Read-only 3283 o - Write-once 3284 c - Change-default 3285 3286 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3287 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3288 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3289 3290 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3291 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3292 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3293 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 3294 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 3295 ".flags" variable. 3296 3297- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 3298 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 3299 access flags. 3300 3301- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 3302 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 3303 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 3304 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 3305 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 3306 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 3307 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 3308 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 3309 your board please report the problem and send patches! 3310 3311- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS 3312 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols 3313 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an 3314 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than 3315 directly. You should not need to touch this setting. 3316 3317 3318The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 3319of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 3320following configurations: 3321 3322- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 3323 3324 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 3325 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 3326 3327- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 3328 3329 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 3330 3331 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 3332 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 3333 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 3334 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 3335 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 3336 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 3337 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 3338 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 3339 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 3340 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 3341 between U-Boot and the environment. 3342 3343 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3344 3345 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 3346 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 3347 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 3348 for this sector is given here. 3349 3350 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 3351 3352 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3353 3354 This is just another way to specify the start address of 3355 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 3356 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 3357 3358 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 3359 3360 Size of the sector containing the environment. 3361 3362 3363 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 3364 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 3365 the environment. 3366 3367 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3368 3369 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 3370 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 3371 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 3372 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 3373 3374 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 3375 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 3376 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 3377 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 3378 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 3379 updating the environment in flash makes it always 3380 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 3381 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 3382 RAM, your target system will be dead. 3383 3384 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 3385 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 3386 3387 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 3388 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 3389 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 3390 a "saveenv" operation. 3391 3392BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 3393source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 3394accordingly! 3395 3396 3397- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 3398 3399 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 3400 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 3401 environment. 3402 3403 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3404 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3405 3406 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 3407 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 3408 can just be read and written to, without any special 3409 provision. 3410 3411BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3412in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3413console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3414U-Boot will hang. 3415 3416Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3417environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3418keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3419to save the current settings. 3420 3421 3422- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 3423 3424 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 3425 device and a driver for it. 3426 3427 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3428 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3429 3430 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 3431 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 3432 3433 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 3434 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 3435 The default address is zero. 3436 3437 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 3438 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 3439 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 3440 would require six bits. 3441 3442 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 3443 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 3444 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 3445 3446 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 3447 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 3448 that this is NOT the chip address length! 3449 3450 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 3451 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 3452 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 3453 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 3454 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 3455 byte chips. 3456 3457 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 3458 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 3459 in the chip address. 3460 3461 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 3462 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 3463 3464 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 3465 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 3466 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 3467 3468 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 3469 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 3470 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 3471 EEPROM. For example: 3472 3473 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0" 3474 3475 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 3476 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 3477 3478- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 3479 3480 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 3481 want to use for the environment. 3482 3483 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3484 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3485 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3486 3487 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 3488 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 3489 at the specified address. 3490 3491- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 3492 3493 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 3494 want to use for the local device's environment. 3495 3496 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3497 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3498 3499 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 3500 environment area within the remote memory space. The 3501 local device can get the environment from remote memory 3502 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 3503 3504BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3505"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3506environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3507but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3508 3509- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 3510 3511 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 3512 for the environment. 3513 3514 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3515 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3516 3517 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3518 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 3519 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3520 3521 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3522 3523 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 3524 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 3525 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 3526 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 3527 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3528 3529 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 3530 3531 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 3532 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 3533 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 3534 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 3535 the range to be avoided. 3536 3537 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 3538 3539 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 3540 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 3541 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 3542 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 3543 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 3544 3545- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3546 3547 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3548 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3549 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3550 3551- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 3552 3553 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 3554 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 3555 accesses, which is important on NAND. 3556 3557 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 3558 3559 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 3560 3561 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 3562 3563 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 3564 environment in. 3565 3566 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 3567 3568 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 3569 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 3570 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 3571 3572 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3573 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3574 3575 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 3576 when storing the env in UBI. 3577 3578- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 3579 3580 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 3581 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 3582 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 3583 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 3584 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 3585 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 3586 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 3587 3588Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3589has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3590created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 3591until then to read environment variables. 3592 3593The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3594is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3595with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3596necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3597"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3598have any device yet where we could complain.] 3599 3600Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3601the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3602use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3603 3604- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3605 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3606 3607 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3608 also needs to be defined. 3609 3610- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3611 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3612 3613- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3614 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3615 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3616 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3617 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3618 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3619 3620- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 3621 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 3622 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 3623 to do this. 3624 3625- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 3626 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 3627 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 3628 present. 3629 3630Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3631--------------------------------------------------- 3632 3633- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3634 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3635 3636- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 3637 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 3638 3639 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 3640 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 3641 the IMMR register after a reset. 3642 3643- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 3644 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 3645 PowerPC SOCs. 3646 3647- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 3648 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 3649 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 3650 3651 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 3652 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 3653 3654- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 3655 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 3656 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 3657 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 3658 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 3659 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 3660 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 3661 3662 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 3663 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 3664 3665- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 3666 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 3667 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 3668 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3669 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3670 3671- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 3672 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 3673 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3674 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3675 3676- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 3677 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 3678 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 3679 3680- Floppy Disk Support: 3681 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 3682 3683 the default drive number (default value 0) 3684 3685 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 3686 3687 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 3688 (default value 1) 3689 3690 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 3691 3692 defines the offset of register from address. It 3693 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 3694 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 3695 3696 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 3697 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 3698 default value. 3699 3700 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 3701 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 3702 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 3703 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 3704 initializations. 3705 3706- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 3707 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 3708 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 3709 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 3710 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 3711 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 3712 is requierd. 3713 3714- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 3715 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 3716 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 3717 3718- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 3719 3720 Start address of memory area that can be used for 3721 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 3722 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 3723 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 3724 will become available only after programming the 3725 memory controller and running certain initialization 3726 sequences. 3727 3728 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 3729 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 3730 - MPC824X: data cache 3731 - PPC4xx: data cache 3732 3733- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 3734 3735 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 3736 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 3737 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 3738 data is located at the end of the available space 3739 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 3740 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 3741 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 3742 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 3743 3744 Note: 3745 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 3746 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 3747 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 3748 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 3749 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 3750 3751- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 3752 3753- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 3754 3755- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 3756 3757- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 3758 3759- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 3760 3761- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 3762 3763- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 3764 SDRAM timing 3765 3766- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 3767 periodic timer for refresh 3768 3769- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 3770 3771- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 3772 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 3773 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 3774 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 3775 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 3776 3777- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 3778 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 3779 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 3780 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 3781 3782- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 3783 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 3784 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 3785 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 3786 3787- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3788 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3789 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 3790 3791- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3792 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3793 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 3794 3795- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3796 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3797 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 3798 3799- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 3800 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 3801 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 3802 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 3803 3804- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 3805 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 3806 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 3807 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 3808 cpm_8260.h. 3809 3810- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3811 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 3812 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 3813 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3814 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 3815 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 3816 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 3817 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 3818 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 3819 3820- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 3821 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 3822 required. 3823 3824- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 3825 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 3826 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 3827 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 3828 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 3829 by coreboot or similar. 3830 3831- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 3832 Chip has SRIO or not 3833 3834- CONFIG_SRIO1: 3835 Board has SRIO 1 port available 3836 3837- CONFIG_SRIO2: 3838 Board has SRIO 2 port available 3839 3840- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 3841 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3842 3843- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 3844 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3845 3846- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 3847 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3848 3849- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_16 3850 Defined to tell the NDFC that the NAND chip is using a 3851 16 bit bus. 3852 3853- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 3854 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 3855 a default value will be used. 3856 3857- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 3858 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 3859 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 3860 3861 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 3862 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 3863 3864- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 3865 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 3866 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 3867 to something your driver can deal with. 3868 3869- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 3870 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 3871 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 3872 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 3873 header files or board specific files. 3874 3875- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 3876 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 3877 3878- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 3879 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 3880 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 3881 3882- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 3883 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 3884 3885- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 3886 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 3887 to the given FEC; i. e. 3888 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 3889 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 3890 3891 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 3892 3893- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 3894 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 3895 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 3896 3897- CONFIG_RMII 3898 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 3899 Note that this is a global option, we can't 3900 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 3901 3902- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 3903 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 3904 The syntax is: 3905 3906 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 3907 3908 Where address/count indicate a memory area 3909 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 3910 area should have. 3911 3912- CONFIG_LOOPW 3913 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 3914 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3915 3916- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 3917 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 3918 "md/mw" commands. 3919 Examples: 3920 3921 => mdc.b 10 4 500 3922 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 3923 3924 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 3925 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 3926 3927 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 3928 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3929 3930- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 3931 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 3932 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 3933 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 3934 relocate itself into RAM. 3935 3936 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 3937 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 3938 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 3939 these initializations itself. 3940 3941- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 3942 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 3943 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 3944 compiling a NAND SPL. 3945 3946- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 3947 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 3948 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 3949 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 3950 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 3951 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 3952 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 3953 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 3954 3955- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 3956 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 3957 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 3958 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 3959 conditions but may increase the binary size. 3960 3961- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 3962 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 3963 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 3964 3965- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 3966 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 3967 3968 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 3969 3970Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 3971----------------------------------- 3972 3973The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 3974loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 3975This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 3976are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 3977within that device. 3978 3979- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 3980 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 3981 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 3982 is also specified. 3983 3984- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 3985 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 3986 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 3987 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 3988 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 3989 3990- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 3991 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 3992 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 3993 virtual address in NOR flash. 3994 3995- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 3996 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 3997 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 3998 3999- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4000 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4001 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4002 4003- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4004 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4005 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4006 4007- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4008 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4009 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4010 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4011 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4012 master's memory space. 4013 4014Building the Software: 4015====================== 4016 4017Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4018and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4019all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4020(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4021recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4022which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4023 4024If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4025have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4026you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4027Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4028necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4029 4030 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4031 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4032 4033Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4034 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4035 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4036 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4037 4038 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4039 4040 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4041 be executed on computers running Windows. 4042 4043U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4044sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4045is done by typing: 4046 4047 make NAME_config 4048 4049where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4050rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4051 4052Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4053 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4054 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4055 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4056 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4057 4058 make TQM823L_config 4059 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4060 4061 make TQM823L_LCD_config 4062 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4063 4064 etc. 4065 4066 4067Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4068images ready for download to / installation on your system: 4069 4070- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 4071- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 4072- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 4073 4074By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 4075in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 4076this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 4077 40781. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 4079 4080 make O=/tmp/build distclean 4081 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 4082 make O=/tmp/build all 4083 40842. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 4085 4086 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4087 make distclean 4088 make NAME_config 4089 make all 4090 4091Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 4092variable. 4093 4094 4095Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 4096for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 4097native "make". 4098 4099 4100If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 4101to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 4102steps: 4103 41041. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 4105 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 4106 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 41072. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 4108 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 4109 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 41103. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 4111 your board 41123. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 4113 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 41144. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 41155. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 4116 to be installed on your target system. 41176. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 4118 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 4119 4120 4121Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 4122============================================================== 4123 4124If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 4125or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 4126provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 4127the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 4128official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 4129 4130But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 4131cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 4132the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 4133just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 4134for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 4135select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 4136environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 4137you can type 4138 4139 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4140 4141or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 4142 4143 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 4144 4145When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 4146U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 4147setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 4148built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 4149<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 4150location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 4151variable. For example: 4152 4153 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4154 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 4155 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4156 4157With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 4158log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 4159during the whole build process. 4160 4161 4162See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 4163 4164 4165Monitor Commands - Overview: 4166============================ 4167 4168go - start application at address 'addr' 4169run - run commands in an environment variable 4170bootm - boot application image from memory 4171bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 4172bootz - boot zImage from memory 4173tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 4174 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 4175 (and eventually "gatewayip") 4176tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 4177rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 4178diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 4179loads - load S-Record file over serial line 4180loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 4181md - memory display 4182mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 4183nm - memory modify (constant address) 4184mw - memory write (fill) 4185cp - memory copy 4186cmp - memory compare 4187crc32 - checksum calculation 4188i2c - I2C sub-system 4189sspi - SPI utility commands 4190base - print or set address offset 4191printenv- print environment variables 4192setenv - set environment variables 4193saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 4194protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 4195erase - erase FLASH memory 4196flinfo - print FLASH memory information 4197nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 4198bdinfo - print Board Info structure 4199iminfo - print header information for application image 4200coninfo - print console devices and informations 4201ide - IDE sub-system 4202loop - infinite loop on address range 4203loopw - infinite write loop on address range 4204mtest - simple RAM test 4205icache - enable or disable instruction cache 4206dcache - enable or disable data cache 4207reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 4208echo - echo args to console 4209version - print monitor version 4210help - print online help 4211? - alias for 'help' 4212 4213 4214Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 4215======================================== 4216 4217TODO. 4218 4219For now: just type "help <command>". 4220 4221 4222Environment Variables: 4223====================== 4224 4225U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 4226can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 4227 4228Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 4229"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 4230without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 4231environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 4232working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 4233environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 4234 4235Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 4236 4237List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 4238 4239 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 4240 4241 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 4242 4243 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 4244 4245 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 4246 4247 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 4248 4249 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4250 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4251 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 4252 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 4253 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 4254 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 4255 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 4256 bootm_mapsize. 4257 4258 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 4259 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 4260 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 4261 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 4262 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 4263 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 4264 used otherwise. 4265 4266 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4267 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4268 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 4269 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 4270 environment variable. 4271 4272 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 4273 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 4274 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 4275 4276 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 4277 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 4278 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 4279 load any image using TFTP 4280 4281 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 4282 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 4283 be automatically started (by internally calling 4284 "bootm") 4285 4286 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 4287 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 4288 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 4289 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 4290 data. 4291 4292 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 4293 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 4294 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 4295 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 4296 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 4297 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 4298 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 4299 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 4300 access it during the boot procedure. 4301 4302 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 4303 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 4304 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 4305 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 4306 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 4307 must be accessible by the kernel. 4308 4309 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 4310 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 4311 defined. 4312 4313 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 4314 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 4315 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 4316 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 4317 it must be saved and board must be reset. 4318 4319 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 4320 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 4321 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 4322 is usually what you want since it allows for 4323 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 4324 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 4325 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 4326 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 4327 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 4328 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 4329 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 4330 4331 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 4332 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 4333 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 4334 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 4335 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 4336 12 MB as well - this can be done with 4337 4338 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 4339 4340 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 4341 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 4342 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 4343 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 4344 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 4345 boot time on your system, but requires that this 4346 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 4347 4348 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4349 4350 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 4351 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 4352 4353 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 4354 4355 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4356 4357 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 4358 4359 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 4360 4361 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 4362 4363 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 4364 4365 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 4366 For example you can do the following 4367 4368 => setenv ethact FEC 4369 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 4370 => setenv ethact SCC 4371 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 4372 4373 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 4374 available network interfaces. 4375 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 4376 4377 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 4378 either succeed or fail without retrying. 4379 When set to "once" the network operation will 4380 fail when all the available network interfaces 4381 are tried once without success. 4382 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 4383 themselves. 4384 4385 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 4386 4387 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 4388 UDP source port. 4389 4390 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 4391 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 4392 4393 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 4394 we use the TFTP server's default block size 4395 4396 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 4397 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 4398 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 4399 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 4400 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 4401 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 4402 with unreliable TFTP servers. 4403 4404 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 4405 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 4406 VLAN tagged frames. 4407 4408The following image location variables contain the location of images 4409used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 4410not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 4411variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 4412server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 4413loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 4414flash or offset in NAND flash. 4415 4416*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 4417boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 4418boards use these variables for other purposes. 4419 4420Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4421----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4422u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4423Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4424device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4425ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4426 4427The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4428updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4429depending the information provided by your boot server: 4430 4431 bootfile - see above 4432 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4433 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4434 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4435 hostname - Target hostname 4436 ipaddr - see above 4437 netmask - Subnet Mask 4438 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4439 serverip - see above 4440 4441 4442There are two special Environment Variables: 4443 4444 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4445 as type string and/or serial number 4446 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4447 4448These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4449the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4450once they have been set once. 4451 4452 4453Further special Environment Variables: 4454 4455 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4456 with the "version" command. This variable is 4457 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4458 4459 4460Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4461only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4462 4463 4464Callback functions for environment variables: 4465--------------------------------------------- 4466 4467For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 4468when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 4469be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 4470deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 4471effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 4472 4473The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 4474U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 4475 4476These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 4477static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 4478in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 4479associations. The list must be in the following format: 4480 4481 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 4482 list = entry[,list] 4483 4484If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 4485Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 4486 4487Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 4488with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 4489override any association in the static list. You can define 4490CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 4491".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4492 4493 4494Command Line Parsing: 4495===================== 4496 4497There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4498the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4499 4500Old, simple command line parser: 4501-------------------------------- 4502 4503- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4504- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4505- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4506- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4507 for example: 4508 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4509- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4510 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4511 4512Hush shell: 4513----------- 4514 4515- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4516 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4517 until...do...done, ... 4518- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4519 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4520 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4521 command 4522 4523General rules: 4524-------------- 4525 4526(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4527 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4528 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4529 executed anyway. 4530 4531(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4532 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4533 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4534 variables are not executed. 4535 4536Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4537======================================= 4538 4539Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4540such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4541"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4542 4543Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4544MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4545"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4546 4547If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4548in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4549ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4550variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4551 4552o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4553 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4554 4555o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4556 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4557 used. 4558 4559o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4560 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4561 4562o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4563 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4564 warning is printed. 4565 4566o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4567 is raised. 4568 4569If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4570will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4571may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4572The naming convention is as follows: 4573"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4574 4575Image Formats: 4576============== 4577 4578U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4579images in two formats: 4580 4581New uImage format (FIT) 4582----------------------- 4583 4584Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4585to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4586components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4587SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4588 4589 4590Old uImage format 4591----------------- 4592 4593Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4594preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4595details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4596 4597* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4598 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4599 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4600 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4601 INTEGRITY). 4602* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4603 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4604 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4605* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4606* Load Address 4607* Entry Point 4608* Image Name 4609* Image Timestamp 4610 4611The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4612and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4613CRC32 checksums. 4614 4615 4616Linux Support: 4617============== 4618 4619Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4620easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4621U-Boot. 4622 4623U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4624special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4625"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4626instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4627serves several purposes: 4628 4629- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4630 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4631 Flash memory footprint) 4632 4633- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4634 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4635 4636- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4637 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4638 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 4639 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 4640 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 4641 software is easier now. 4642 4643 4644Linux HOWTO: 4645============ 4646 4647Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 4648--------------------------------------- 4649 4650U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 4651configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 4652(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 4653Linux :-). 4654 4655But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 4656 4657Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 4658include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 4659Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 4660and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 4661as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 4662 4663 4664Configuring the Linux kernel: 4665----------------------------- 4666 4667No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 4668device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 4669 4670 4671Building a Linux Image: 4672----------------------- 4673 4674With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 4675not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 4676"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 4677U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 4678which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 4679100% compatible format. 4680 4681Example: 4682 4683 make TQM850L_config 4684 make oldconfig 4685 make dep 4686 make uImage 4687 4688The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 4689encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 4690CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 4691 4692* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 4693 4694* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 4695 4696 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 4697 -R .note -R .comment \ 4698 -S vmlinux linux.bin 4699 4700* compress the binary image: 4701 4702 gzip -9 linux.bin 4703 4704* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 4705 4706 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 4707 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 4708 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 4709 4710 4711The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 4712with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 4713combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 4714byte header containing information about target architecture, 4715operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 4716stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 4717 4718"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 4719print the header information, or to build new images. 4720 4721In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 4722contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 4723checksum verification: 4724 4725 tools/mkimage -l image 4726 -l ==> list image header information 4727 4728The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 4729from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 4730 4731 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 4732 -n name -d data_file image 4733 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 4734 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 4735 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 4736 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 4737 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 4738 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 4739 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 4740 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 4741 4742Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 4743address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 4744kernel version: 4745 4746- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 4747- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 4748 4749So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 4750 4751 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4752 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 4753 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 4754 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 4755 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4756 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4757 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4758 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4759 Load Address: 0x00000000 4760 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4761 4762To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 4763 4764 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 4765 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4766 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4767 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4768 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4769 Load Address: 0x00000000 4770 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4771 4772NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 4773speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 4774needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 4775need to be uncompressed: 4776 4777 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 4778 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4779 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 4780 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 4781 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 4782 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4783 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4784 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 4785 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 4786 Load Address: 0x00000000 4787 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4788 4789 4790Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 4791when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 4792 4793 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 4794 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 4795 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 4796 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 4797 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 4798 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 4799 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 4800 Load Address: 0x00000000 4801 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4802 4803 4804Installing a Linux Image: 4805------------------------- 4806 4807To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 4808you must convert the image to S-Record format: 4809 4810 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 4811 4812The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 4813image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 4814address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 4995 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 4996 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 4997 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 4998 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 4999 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5000 being started. 5001 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5002 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5003 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5004 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5005 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5006 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5007 5008 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5009 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5010 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5011 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5012 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5013 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5014 5015 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5016 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5017 flash memory. 5018 5019 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5020 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5021 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5022 as command interpreter. 5023 5024Booting the Linux zImage: 5025------------------------- 5026 5027On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5028using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5029as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5030 5031Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply 5032kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5033address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5034format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5035 5036 5037Standalone HOWTO: 5038================= 5039 5040One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5041run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5042U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5043 5044Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5045 5046"Hello World" Demo: 5047------------------- 5048 5049'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 5050application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 5051It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 5052like that: 5053 5054 => loads 5055 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5056 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 5057 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5058 [file transfer complete] 5059 [connected] 5060 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5061 5062 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 5083controlled by the following keys: 5084 5085 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 5086 b - enable interrupts and start timer 5087 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 5088 q - quit application 5089 5090 => loads 5091 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5092 ~>examples/timer.srec 5093 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5094 [file transfer complete] 5095 [connected] 5096 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5097 5098 => go 40004 5099 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 5100 TIMERS=0xfff00980 5101 Using timer 1 5102 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 5103 5104Hit 'b': 5105 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 5106 Enabling timer 5107Hit '?': 5108 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 5109 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 5110Hit '?': 5111 [q, b, e, ?] . 5112 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 5113Hit '?': 5114 [q, b, e, ?] . 5115 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 5116Hit '?': 5117 [q, b, e, ?] . 5118 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 5119Hit 'e': 5120 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 5121Hit 'q': 5122 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 5123 5124 5125Minicom warning: 5126================ 5127 5128Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 5129"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 5130consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 5131Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 5132especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 5133use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 5134http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 5135for help with kermit. 5136 5137 5138Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 5139configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 5140 5141 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 5158 5159 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 5160 # mkdir powerpc 5161 # ln -s powerpc machine 5162 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 5163 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 5164 5165Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 5166and U-Boot include files. 5167 5168Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 5169stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 5170proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 5171tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 5172meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 5173 5174 5175Implementation Internals: 5176========================= 5177 5178The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 5179implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 5180inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 5181hardware. 5182 5183 5184Initial Stack, Global Data: 5185--------------------------- 5186 5187The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 5188starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 5189system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 5190This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 5191is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 5192at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 5193options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 5194models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 5195MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 5196locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 5197 5198 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 5199 U-Boot mailing list: 5200 5201 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 5202 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 5203 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 5204 ... 5205 5206 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 5207 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 5208 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 5209 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 5210 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 5211 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 5212 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 5213 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 5214 5215 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 5216 is another option for the system designer to use as an 5217 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 5218 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 5219 board designers haven't used it for something that would 5220 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 5221 used. 5222 5223 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 5224 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 5225 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 5226 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 5227 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 5228 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 5229 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 5230 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 5231 you get the config right. 5232 5233 -Chris Hallinan 5234 DS4.COM, Inc. 5235 5236It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 5237code for the initialization procedures: 5238 5239* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 5240 to write it. 5241 5242* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 5243 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 5244 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 5245 5246* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 5247 that. 5248 5249Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 5250normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 5251turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 5252simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 5253functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 5254functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 5255the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 5256place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 5257reserve for this purpose. 5258 5259When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 5260relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 5261GCC's implementation. 5262 5263For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 5264 R1: stack pointer 5265 R2: reserved for system use 5266 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 5267 R5-R10: parameter passing 5268 R13: small data area pointer 5269 R30: GOT pointer 5270 R31: frame pointer 5271 5272 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 5273 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 5274 going back and forth between asm and C) 5275 5276 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 5277 5278 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 5279 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 5280 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 5281 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 5282 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 5283 624 text + 127 data). 5284 5285On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 5286 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 5287 5288 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 5289 5290On ARM, the following registers are used: 5291 5292 R0: function argument word/integer result 5293 R1-R3: function argument word 5294 R9: GOT pointer 5295 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 5296 R11: argument (frame) pointer 5297 R12: temporary workspace 5298 R13: stack pointer 5299 R14: link register 5300 R15: program counter 5301 5302 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 5303 5304On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 5305 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 5306 5307 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 5308 5309 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 5310 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 5311 5312On NDS32, the following registers are used: 5313 5314 R0-R1: argument/return 5315 R2-R5: argument 5316 R15: temporary register for assembler 5317 R16: trampoline register 5318 R28: frame pointer (FP) 5319 R29: global pointer (GP) 5320 R30: link register (LP) 5321 R31: stack pointer (SP) 5322 PC: program counter (PC) 5323 5324 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 5325 5326NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 5327or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 5328 5329Memory Management: 5330------------------ 5331 5332U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 5333MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 5334 5335The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 5336controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 5337memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 5338physical memory banks. 5339 5340U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 5341TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 5342booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 5343to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 5344memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 5345configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 5346Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 5347 5348Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 5349of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 5350 5351So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 5352this: 5353 5354 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 5355 : 5356 0x0000 1FFF 5357 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 5358 : 5359 : 5360 5361 : 5362 : 5363 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 5364 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 5365 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 5366 : 5367 0x00FD FFFF 5368 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 5369 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 5370 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 5371 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 5372 5373 5374System Initialization: 5375---------------------- 5376 5377In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 5378(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 5379configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 5380To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 5381To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 5382initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 5383which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 5384part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 5385the caches and the SIU. 5386 5387Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 5388preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 5389(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 5390on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 5391programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 5392simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 5393banks. 5394 5395When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 5396different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 5397bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 53980x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 5399contiguous memory starting from 0. 5400 5401Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 5402and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 5403Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 5404pages, and the final stack is set up. 5405 5406Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 5407until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 5408running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 5409new address in RAM. 5410 5411 5412U-Boot Porting Guide: 5413---------------------- 5414 5415[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 5416list, October 2002] 5417 5418 5419int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 5420{ 5421 sighandler_t no_more_time; 5422 5423 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 5424 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 5425 5426 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 5427 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 5428 return 0; 5429 } 5430 5431 Download latest U-Boot source; 5432 5433 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 5434 5435 if (clueless) 5436 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 5437 5438 while (learning) { 5439 Read the README file in the top level directory; 5440 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 5441 Read applicable doc/*.README; 5442 Read the source, Luke; 5443 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 5444 } 5445 5446 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 5447 Buy a BDI3000; 5448 else 5449 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 5450 5451 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 5452 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 5453 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5454 } else { 5455 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5456 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5457 } 5458 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5459 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5460 5461 while (!accepted) { 5462 while (!running) { 5463 do { 5464 Add / modify source code; 5465 } until (compiles); 5466 Debug; 5467 if (clueless) 5468 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5469 } 5470 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5471 if (reasonable critiques) 5472 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5473 else 5474 Defend code as written; 5475 } 5476 5477 return 0; 5478} 5479 5480void no_more_time (int sig) 5481{ 5482 hire_a_guru(); 5483} 5484 5485 5486Coding Standards: 5487----------------- 5488 5489All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5490coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5491"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5492 5493Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5494MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5495reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5496sources. 5497 5498Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5499Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5500in your code. 5501 5502Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5503- remove any trailing white space 5504- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5505- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5506- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5507- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5508 5509Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5510with a request to reformat the changes. 5511 5512 5513Submitting Patches: 5514------------------- 5515 5516Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5517establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5518may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5519 5520Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5521 5522Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5523see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5524 5525When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5526it: 5527 5528* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5529 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5530 patch actually fixes something. 5531 5532* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5533 implementation. 5534 5535* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5536 5537* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5538 5539* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 5540 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too. 5541 5542* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5543 document these in the README file. 5544 5545* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5546 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5547 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5548 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5549 with some other mail clients. 5550 5551 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5552 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5553 GNU diff. 5554 5555 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5556 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5557 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5558 affected files). 5559 5560 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5561 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5562 5563* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5564 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5565 5566* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5567 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5568 5569 5570Notes: 5571 5572* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5573 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5574 for any of the boards. 5575 5576* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5577 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5578 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5579 5580* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5581 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5582 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5583 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5584 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5585 modification. 5586 5587* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5588 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5589 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5590 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5591
