24Summary:
25========
26
27This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
28Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
32
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
34the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
36support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. 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:

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
638- Console Interface:
639		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
640		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
641		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
642		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
643
644		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
645		port routines must be defined elsewhere
646		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
647
648		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
649		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
650		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
651			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
652						(default big endian)
653			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
654						rectangle fill
655						(cf. smiLynxEM)
656			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
657						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
658			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
659						(cols=pitch)
660			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
661			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
662			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
663						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
664			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
665			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
666						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
667			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
668						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
669			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
670						(i.e. i8042_getc)
671			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
672						(requires blink timer
673						cf. i8042.c)
674			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
675			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
676						upper right corner
677						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
678			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
679						upper left corner
680			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
681						linux_logo.h for logo.
682						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
683			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
684						additional board info beside
685						the logo
686
687		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
688		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
689		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
690
691		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
692		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
693		environment 'console=serial'.
694
695		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
696		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
697		the "silent" environment variable. See
698		doc/README.silent for more information.
699
700- Console Baudrate:
701		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
702		Select one of the baudrates listed in
703		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
704		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
705
706- Console Rx buffer length
707		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
708		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
709		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
710		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
711		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
712		the SMC.
713
714- Pre-Console Buffer:
715		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
716		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
717		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
718		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
719		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
720		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
721		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
722		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
723		earlier bytes are discarded.
724
725		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
726		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
727
728- Safe printf() functions
729		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
730		the printf() functions. These are defined in
731		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
732		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
733		If this option is not given then these functions will
734		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
735		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
736
737- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
738		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
739		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
740		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
741		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
742
743		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
744		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
745		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
746		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
747		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
748		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
749		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
750		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
751		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
752		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
753		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
754		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
755
756- Autoboot Command:
757		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
758		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
759		define a command string that is automatically executed
760		when no character is read on the console interface
761		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
762
763		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
764		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
765		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
766		environment value "bootargs".
767
768		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
769		The value of these goes into the environment as
770		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
771		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
772		RAM and NFS.
773
774- Pre-Boot Commands:
775		CONFIG_PREBOOT
776
777		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
778		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
779		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
780		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
781		entering interactive mode.
782
783		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
784		automatically generated or modified. For an example
785		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
786		modified when the user holds down a certain
787		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
788		booting the systems
789
790- Serial Download Echo Mode:
791		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
792		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
793		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
794		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
795		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
796		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
797		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
798
799- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
800		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
801		Select one of the baudrates listed in
802		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
803
804- Monitor Functions:
805		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
806		from the build by using the #include files
807		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
808		commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
809		and augmenting with additional #define's
810		for wanted commands.
811
812		The default command configuration includes all commands
813		except those marked below with a "*".

911
912		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
913		support you can write:
914
915		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
916		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
917
918	Other Commands:
919		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
920
921	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
922		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
923		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
924		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
925		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
926		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
927		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
928		initial stack and some data.
929
930
931		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
932
933- Device tree:
934		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
935		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
936		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
937		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
938		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
939		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
940
941		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
942		be done using one of the two options below:
943
944		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
945		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
946		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
947		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
948		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
949		the global data structure as gd->blob.
950
951		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
952		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
953		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
954		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
955
956			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
957
958		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
959		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
960		still use the individual files if you need something more
961		exotic.
962
963- Watchdog:
964		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
965		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
966		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
967		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
968		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
969		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
970		available, then no further board specific code should
971		be needed to use it.
972
973		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
974		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
975		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
976		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
977
978- U-Boot Version:
979		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
980		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
981		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
982		version as printed by the "version" command.
983		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
984		next reset.
985
986- Real-Time Clock:
987
988		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
989		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
990		following options:
991
992		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
993		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
994		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
995		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
996		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
997		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
998		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
999		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1000		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1001		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1002		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1003		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1004					  RV3029 RTC.
1005
1006		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1007		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1008
1009- GPIO Support:
1010		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1011		CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO	- enable pca953x info command
1012
1013		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1014		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1015		pins supported by a particular chip.
1016
1017		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface

1237		CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1238		txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1239
1240- USB Device:
1241		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1242		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1243		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1244		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1245		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1246		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1247		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1248		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1249		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1250		a Linux host by
1251		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1252		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1253		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1254		might be defined in YourBoardName.h

1256			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1257			Define this to build a UDC device
1258
1259			CONFIG_USB_TTY

1261			talk to the UDC device
1262
1263			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1264			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1265			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1266			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1267			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1268			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1269			speed.
1270
1271			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1272			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1273			be set to usbtty.
1274
1275			mpc8xx:
1276				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH

1284		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1285		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1286		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1287		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1288		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1289		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1290
1291			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1292			Define this string as the name of your company for
1293			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1294
1295			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1296			Define this string as the name of your product
1297			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1298
1299			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1300			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1301			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1302			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1303			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1304
1305			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1306			Define this as the unique Product ID
1307			for your device

1311		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1312		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1313		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1314		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1315		viewport is supported.
1316		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1317		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1318		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1319		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1320		the appropriate value in Hz.
1321
1322- MMC Support:
1323		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1324		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be

1340		CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1341		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1342
1343		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1344		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1345		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1346		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1347		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1348
1349		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1350		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1351
1352		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1353		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1354
1355		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1356		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1357		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1358		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1359		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1360		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1361
1362- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1363		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,

1369		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1370
1371		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1372		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1373		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1374
1375		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1376		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1377		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1378		have not defined a custom partition
1379
1380- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1381		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1382
1383		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1384		file in FAT formatted partition.

1513			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1514			Active, color, single scan.
1515
1516		CONFIG_HLD1045
1517
1518			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1519			Active, color, single scan.
1520
1521		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1522
1523			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1524			or
1525			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1526			or
1527			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1528
1529			320x240. Black & white.
1530
1531		Normally display is black on white background; define
1532		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1533
1534		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1535
1536		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1537		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1538		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1539		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1540		a per-section basis.
1541
1542		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1543
1544		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1545		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1546		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1547		is slow.
1548
1549		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1550
1551		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1552
1553		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1554
1555		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1556		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1557
1558- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1559
1560		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1561		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1562		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1563		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1564		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1565		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1566		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1567		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1568
1569		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1570
1571		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1572		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1573		(see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1574		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1575		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1576		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1577		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1578		there is no need to set this option.
1579
1580		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1581
1582		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1583		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1584		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1585		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1586		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1587		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1588
1589		Example:
1590		setenv splashpos m,m
1591			=> image at center of screen
1592
1593		setenv splashpos 30,20
1594			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1595
1596		setenv splashpos -10,m
1597			=> vertically centered image
1598			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1599
1600		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_PREPARE
1601
1602		If this option is set then the board_splash_screen_prepare()
1603		function, which must be defined in your code, is called as part
1604		of the splash screen display sequence. It gives the board an
1605		opportunity to prepare the splash image data before it is
1606		processed and sent to the frame buffer by U-Boot.
1607
1608- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1609
1610		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1611		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1612		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1613
1614- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1615
1616		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1617		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1618		bmp command.
1619
1620- Do compresssing for memory range:
1621		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1622
1623		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1624		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1625
1626- Compression support:
1627		CONFIG_BZIP2
1628
1629		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1630		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1631		compressed images are supported.
1632
1633		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1634		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1635		be at least 4MB.
1636
1637		CONFIG_LZMA
1638
1639		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1640		images is included.
1641
1642		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1643		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1644		formula:
1645
1646			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1647
1648		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1649		and Literal pos bits.
1650
1651		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1652		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1653		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1654		a very small buffer.
1655
1656		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1657		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1658		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1659
1660- MII/PHY support:
1661		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1662
1663		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1664
1665		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1666
1667		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1668
1669		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1670
1671		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1672		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1673
1674		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1675
1676		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1677		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1678		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1679		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1680
1681		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1682
1683		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1684		command issued before MII status register can be read
1685
1686- Ethernet address:
1687		CONFIG_ETHADDR
1688		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
1689		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
1690		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
1691		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
1692		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
1693
1694		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1695		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
1696		is not determined automatically.
1697
1698- IP address:
1699		CONFIG_IPADDR
1700
1701		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1702		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1703		determined through e.g. bootp.
1704		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
1705
1706- Server IP address:
1707		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1708
1709		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1710		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1711		(Environment variable "serverip")
1712
1713		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1714
1715		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1716		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1717
1718- Gateway IP address:
1719		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1720
1721		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1722		default router where packets to other networks are
1723		sent to.
1724		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
1725
1726- Subnet mask:
1727		CONFIG_NETMASK
1728
1729		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1730		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1731		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1732		forwarded through a router.
1733		(Environment variable "netmask")
1734
1735- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1736		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1737
1738		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1739		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1740		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1741		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1742		multicast group.
1743
1744- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1745		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1746
1747		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1748		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1749		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1750		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1751		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1752		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1753		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1754		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1755		following delays are inserted then:
1756
1757		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1758		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1759		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1760		4th and following
1761		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1762
1763- DHCP Advanced Options:
1764		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1765		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1766
1767		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1768		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1769		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1770		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1771		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1772		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1773		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1774		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1775		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1776		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1777		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1778		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1779		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1780
1781		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1782		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1783
1784		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1785		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1786		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
1787		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1788		is not available.
1789
1790		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1791		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1792		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1793		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1794		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1795		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1796		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1797		is defined.
1798
1799		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1800		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1801		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1802		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1803		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1804		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1805
1806		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1807
1808		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1809		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1810		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1811		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1812		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1813		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1814		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1815		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1816		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1817		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1818		this delay.
1819
1820 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1821		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1822		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1823		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1824		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1825
1826		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1827
1828 - CDP Options:
1829		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1830
1831		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1832
1833		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1834
1835		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1836		of the device.
1837
1838		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1839
1840		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1841		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1842		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1843
1844		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1845
1846		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1847		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1848
1849		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1850
1851		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1852
1853		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1854
1855		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1856
1857		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1858
1859		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1860
1861		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1862
1863		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1864		device in .1 of milliwatts.
1865
1866		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1867
1868		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1869
1870- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1871
1872		Several configurations allow to display the current
1873		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1874		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1875		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1876		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1877		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1878		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1879		feature in U-Boot.
1880
1881- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1882
1883		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1884		on those systems that support this (optional)
1885		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1886
1887- I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1888
1889		These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
1890		(but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
1891		include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
1892
1893		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
1894		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
1895		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1896		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
1897		command line interface.
1898
1899		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
1900
1901		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
1902		bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1903		support for I2C.
1904
1905		There are several other quantities that must also be
1906		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
1907
1908		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
1909		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
1910		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
1911		the CPU's i2c node address).
1912
1913		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
1914		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
1915		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1916		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1917		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
1918
1919		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1920
1921		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1922		chips might think that the current transfer is still
1923		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
1924		commands until the slave device responds.
1925
1926		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
1927
1928		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1929		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1930		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
1931
1932		I2C_INIT
1933
1934		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
1935		controller or configure ports.
1936
1937		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
1938
1939		I2C_PORT
1940
1941		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1942		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1943		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
1944
1945		I2C_ACTIVE
1946
1947		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1948		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
1949		define can be null.
1950
1951		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
1952
1953		I2C_TRISTATE
1954
1955		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1956		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
1957		define can be null.
1958
1959		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1960
1961		I2C_READ
1962
1963		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
1964		false if it is low.
1965
1966		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1967
1968		I2C_SDA(bit)
1969
1970		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1971		is false, it clears it (low).
1972
1973		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
1974			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
1975			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
1976
1977		I2C_SCL(bit)
1978
1979		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1980		is false, it clears it (low).
1981
1982		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
1983			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
1984			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
1985
1986		I2C_DELAY
1987
1988		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1989		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
1990		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
1991		like:
1992
1993		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
1994
1995		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1996
1997		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1998		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1999		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2000		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2001
2002		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2003		the generic GPIO functions.
2004
2005		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2006
2007		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2008		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2009		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2010		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2011		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2012		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2013		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2014		is run early in the boot sequence.
2015
2016		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2017
2018		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2019		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2020		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2021		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2022		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2023		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2024		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2025		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2026
2027		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2028
2029		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2030		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2031		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2032
2033		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2034
2035		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2036		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2037		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2038		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2039
2040		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2041
2042		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2043		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2044		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2045		a 1D array of device addresses
2046
2047		e.g.
2048			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2049			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2050
2051		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2052
2053			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2054			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2055
2056		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2057
2058		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2059
2060		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2061		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2062
2063		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2064
2065		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2066		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2067
2068		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2069
2070		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2071		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2072
2073		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2074
2075		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2076		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2077		specified DTT device.
2078
2079		CONFIG_FSL_I2C
2080
2081		Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
2082		drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
2083
2084		CONFIG_I2C_MUX
2085
2086		Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
2087		I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
2088		Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2089		new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2090		new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2091		the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2092
2093		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2094		feature!
2095
2096		Example:
2097		Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2098			The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2099			The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2100
2101		=> i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2102
2103		Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2104		of I2C Busses with muxes:
2105
2106		=> i2c bus
2107		Busses reached over muxes:
2108		Bus ID: 2
2109		  reached over Mux(es):
2110		    pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2111		Bus ID: 3
2112		  reached over Mux(es):
2113		    pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2114		    pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2115		=>
2116
2117		If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
2118		u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2119		channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
2120		the channel 4.
2121
2122		After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
2123		usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
2124		the 2 muxes.
2125
2126		This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2127		algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2128		Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2129		to add this option to other architectures.
2130
2131		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2132
2133		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2134		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2135		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2136		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2137		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2138		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2139		the other.
2140
2141- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2142
2143		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2144		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2145		D/As on the SACSng board)
2146
2147		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2148
2149		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2150		only SH7757 is supported.
2151
2152		CONFIG_SPI_X
2153
2154		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2155		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2156
2157		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2158
2159		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2160		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2161		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2162		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2163		defined, the board configuration must define several
2164		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2165		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2166
2167		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2168
2169		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2170		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2171		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2172		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2173		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2174
2175		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2176
2177		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2178		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2179
2180- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2181
2182		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2183
2184		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2185
2186		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2187		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2188
2189		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2190
2191		Enables support for FPGA family.
2192		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2193
2194		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2195
2196		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2197
2198		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2199
2200		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2201
2202		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2203
2204		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2205		status by the configuration function. This option
2206		will require a board or device specific function to
2207		be written.
2208
2209		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2210
2211		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2212		configuration driver.
2213
2214		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2215		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2216
2217		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2218
2219		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2220		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2221		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2222		indicated a CRC error).
2223
2224		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2225
2226		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2227		after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2228		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2229		ms.
2230
2231		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2232
2233		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
2234		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2235
2236		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2237
2238		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2239		200 ms.
2240
2241- Configuration Management:
2242		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2243
2244		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2245		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2246
2247- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2248
2249		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2250		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2251		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2252		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2253		protects these variables from casual modification by
2254		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2255		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2256		change this behaviour:
2257
2258		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2259		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2260		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2261		these parameters.
2262
2263		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2264		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2265		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2266		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2267		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2268		read-only.]
2269
2270		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2271		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2272		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2273		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2274
2275- Protected RAM:
2276		CONFIG_PRAM
2277
2278		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2279		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2280		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2281		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2282		this default value by defining an environment
2283		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2284		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2285		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2286		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2287		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2288		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2289		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2290
2291			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2292			saveenv
2293
2294		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2295		either, which results in a memory region that will
2296		not be affected by reboots.
2297
2298		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2299		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2300		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2301		following board configurations are known to be
2302		"pRAM-clean":
2303
2304			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2305			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2306			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2307
2308- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2309		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2310		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2311		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2312		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2313		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2314		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2315
2316- Error Recovery:
2317		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2318
2319		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2320		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2321		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2322		system where you want the system to reboot
2323		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2324		useful during development since you can try to debug
2325		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2326
2327		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2328
2329		This variable defines the number of retries for
2330		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2331		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2332		default value of 5 is used.
2333
2334		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2335
2336		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2337
2338		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2339
2340		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2341		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2342		try longer timeout such as
2343		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2344
2345- Command Interpreter:
2346		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2347
2348		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2349
2350		Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2351		for the "hush" shell.
2352
2353
2354		CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
2355
2356		Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2357		Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2358		powerful command line syntax like
2359		if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2360		constructs ("shell scripts").
2361
2362		If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2363		with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2364
2365
2366		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2367
2368		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2369		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2370		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2371
2372	Note:
2373
2374		In the current implementation, the local variables
2375		space and global environment variables space are
2376		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2377		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2378		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2379		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2380		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2381
2382		Global environment variables are those you use
2383		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2384		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2385		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2386
2387		To store commands and special characters in a
2388		variable, please use double quotation marks
2389		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2390		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2391		symbols.
2392
2393- Commandline Editing and History:
2394		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2395
2396		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2397		commandline input operations
2398
2399- Default Environment:
2400		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2401
2402		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2403		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2404		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2405
2406		For example, place something like this in your
2407		board's config file:
2408
2409		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2410			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2411			"myvar2=value2\0"
2412
2413		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2414		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2415		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2416		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2417		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2418		You better know what you are doing here.
2419
2420		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2421		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2422		the environment like the "source" command or the
2423		boot command first.
2424
2425		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2426
2427		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2428		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2429		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2430
2431		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2432
2433		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2434		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2435		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2436		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2437		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2438
2439		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2440
2441		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2442		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2443		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2444
2445		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2446
2447		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2448		intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2449		that so that the environment is not available until
2450		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2451		this is instead controlled by the value of
2452		/config/load-environment.
2453
2454- DataFlash Support:
2455		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2456
2457		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2458		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2459		commands cp, md...
2460
2461- Serial Flash support
2462		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2463
2464		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2465		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2466
2467		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2468		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2469		commands.
2470
2471		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2472		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2473		flash is present on the system.
2474
2475		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2476		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2477		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2478		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2479
2480		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2481
2482		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2483		test ('sf test').
2484
2485- SystemACE Support:
2486		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2487
2488		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2489		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2490		of the chip must also be defined in the
2491		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2492
2493		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2494		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2495
2496		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2497		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2498
2499- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2500		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2501
2502		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2503		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2504		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2505		number generator is used.
2506
2507		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2508		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2509		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2510
2511		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2512		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2513		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2514		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2515		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2516		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2517		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2518
2519- Hashing support:
2520		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2521
2522		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2523		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2524
2525		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2526
2527		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2528		size a little.
2529
2530		CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2531		CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2532
2533		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2534		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2535
2536- Show boot progress:
2537		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2538
2539		Defining this option allows to add some board-
2540		specific code (calling a user-provided function
2541		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2542		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2543		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2544		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2545
2546- Detailed boot stage timing
2547		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2548		Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2549		of the boot process.
2550
2551		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2552		This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2553		Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2554		a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2555		the limit, recording will stop.
2556
2557		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2558		Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2559
2560		Timer summary in microseconds:
2561		       Mark    Elapsed  Stage
2562			  0          0  reset

2571		CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2572		Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2573		and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2574
2575		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2576		Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2577		node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2578		has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2579		mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2580		accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2581		For example:
2582
2583		bootstage {
2584			154 {
2585				name = "board_init_f";
2586				mark = <3575678>;
2587			};
2588			170 {
2589				name = "lcd";
2590				accum = <33482>;
2591			};
2592		};
2593
2594		Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2756		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
2757		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
2758		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
2759
2760- Standalone program support:

2773		when using a graphics controller has separate video
2774		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2775		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2776		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2777		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2778		configured panel size.
2779
2780		Please see board_init_f function.
2781
2782- Automatic software updates via TFTP server

2906		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
2907		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
2908
2909		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
2910		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires
2911		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
2912

2978Modem Support:
2979--------------
2980
2981[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
2982
2983- Modem support enable:
2984		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2985
2986- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
2987		CONFIG_HWFLOW
2988
2989- Modem debug support:
2990		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2991
2992		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2993		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
2994
2995- Interrupt support (PPC):
2996
2997		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2998		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
2999		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3000		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3001		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3002		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3003		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3004		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3005		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3006		general timer_interrupt().
3007
3008- General:
3009
3010		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3011		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3012		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3013		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3014		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3015		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3016		initialization.
3017
3018		If there are no modem init strings in the
3019		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3020		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3021		suppressed, though.
3022

3024
3025Board initialization settings:
3026------------------------------
3027
3028During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3029to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3030before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3031following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3032architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3033typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3034
3035- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3036- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3037- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3038- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3039
3040Configuration Settings:
3041-----------------------
3042
3043- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3044		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3045
3046- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3047		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3048
3049- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3050		prompt for user input.
3051
3052- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3053
3054- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3055
3056- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3057
3058- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3059		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3060		booted
3061
3062- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3063		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3064
3065- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3066		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3067
3068- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3069		If the board specific function
3070			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3071		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3072		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3073
3074- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3075		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3076
3077- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3078		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3079
3080- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3081		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3082		simple memory test.
3083
3084- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3085		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3086
3087- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3088		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3089		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3090
3091- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3092		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3093		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3094		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3095		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3096		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3097		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3098		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3099		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3100		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3101
3102		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3103		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3104		be touched.
3105
3106		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3107		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3108		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3109		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3110		problems.
3111
3112- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3113		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3114
3115- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3116		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3117
3118- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3119		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3120		Cogent motherboard)
3121
3122- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3123		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3124
3125- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3126		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3127		make config files to be same as the text base address
3128		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3129		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3130
3131- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3132		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3133		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3134		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3135		flash sector.
3136
3137- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3138		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3139
3140- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3141		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3142		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3143		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3144		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3145
3146- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3147		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3148		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3149		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3150		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3151		enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3152		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3153		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3154		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3155		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3156		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3157
3158- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3159		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3160		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3161		is enabled.
3162
3163- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3164		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3165		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3166
3167- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3168		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3169		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3170
3171- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3172		Max number of Flash memory banks
3173
3174- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3175		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3176
3177- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3178		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3179
3180- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3181		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3182
3183- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3184		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3185
3186- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3187		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3188
3189- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3190		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3191		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3192
3193- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3194
3195		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3196		without this option such a download has to be
3197		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3198		copy from RAM to flash.
3199
3200		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3201		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3202		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3203		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3204		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3205
3206- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3207		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3208		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3209
3210- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3211		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3212		in the drivers directory
3213
3214- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3215		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3216		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3217		to the MTD layer.
3218
3219- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3220		Use buffered writes to flash.
3221
3222- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3223		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3224		write commands.
3225
3226- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3227		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3228		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3229		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3230		optionally available.
3231
3232- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3233		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3234		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3235		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3236
3237- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3238		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3239		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3240		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3241		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3242		on high Ethernet traffic.
3243		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3244
3245- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3246
3247	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3248	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3249	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3250	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3251	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3252
3253- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3254- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3255	Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3256	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3257	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3258	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3259
3260	The format of the list is:
3261		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3262		access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
3263		attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
3264		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3265		list = entry[,list]
3266
3267	The type attributes are:
3268		s - String (default)
3269		d - Decimal
3270		x - Hexadecimal
3271		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3272		i - IP address
3273		m - MAC address
3274
3275	The access attributes are:
3276		a - Any (default)
3277		r - Read-only
3278		o - Write-once
3279		c - Change-default
3280
3281	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3282		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3283		envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3284
3285	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3286		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3287		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3288		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
3289		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3290		".flags" variable.
3291
3292- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3293	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3294	access flags.
3295
3296- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3297	This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3298	architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3299	to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3300	arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3301	common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3302	must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3303	its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3304	your board please report the problem and send patches!
3305
3306- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3307	This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3308	instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3309	offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3310	directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3311
3312
3313The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3314of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3315following configurations:
3316
3317- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3318
3319	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3320	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3321
3322- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3323
3324	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3325
3326	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3327	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3328	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3329	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3330	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3331	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3332	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3333	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3334	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3335	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3336	   between U-Boot and the environment.
3337
3338	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3339
3340	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3341	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3342	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3343	   for this sector is given here.
3344
3345	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3346
3347	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3348
3349	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
3350	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3351	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3352
3353	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3354
3355	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
3356
3357
3358	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3359	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3360	   the environment.
3361
3362	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3363
3364	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3365	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3366	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3367	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3368
3369	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3370	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3371	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3372	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3373	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3374	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
3375	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3376	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3377	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
3378
3379	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3380	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3381
3382	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3383	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3384	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3385	   a "saveenv" operation.
3386
3387BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3388source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3389accordingly!
3390
3391
3392- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3393
3394	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3395	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3396	environment.
3397
3398	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3399	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3400
3401	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3402	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3403	  can just be read and written to, without any special
3404	  provision.
3405
3406BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3407in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3408console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3409U-Boot will hang.
3410
3411Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3412environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3413keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3414to save the current settings.
3415
3416
3417- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3418
3419	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3420	device and a driver for it.
3421
3422	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3423	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3424
3425	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3426	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3427
3428	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3429	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3430	  The default address is zero.
3431
3432	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3433	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3434	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
3435	  would require six bits.
3436
3437	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3438	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3439	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
3440
3441	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3442	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
3443	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
3444
3445	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3446	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3447	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3448	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3449	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3450	  byte chips.
3451
3452	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3453	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3454	  in the chip address.
3455
3456	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3457	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3458
3459	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3460	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3461	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3462
3463	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3464	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3465	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3466	  EEPROM. For example:
3467
3468	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  "pca9547:70:d\0"
3469
3470	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3471	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3472
3473- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3474
3475	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3476	want to use for the environment.
3477
3478	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3479	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3480	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3481
3482	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3483	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3484	  at the specified address.
3485
3486- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3487
3488	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3489	want to use for the local device's environment.
3490
3491	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3492	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3493
3494	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3495	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
3496	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
3497	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3498
3499BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3500"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3501environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3502but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3503
3504- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3505
3506	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3507	for the environment.
3508
3509	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3510	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3511
3512	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3513	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3514	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3515
3516	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3517
3518	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3519	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3520	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3521	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
3522	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3523
3524	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3525
3526	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3527	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3528	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3529	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3530	  the range to be avoided.
3531
3532	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3533
3534	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3535	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
3536	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3537	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3538	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3539
3540- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3541
3542	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3543	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3544	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3545
3546- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3547
3548	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3549	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3550	accesses, which is important on NAND.
3551
3552	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3553
3554	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3555
3556	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3557
3558	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3559	  environment in.
3560
3561	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3562
3563	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3564	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3565	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3566
3567	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3568	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3569
3570	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3571	  when storing the env in UBI.
3572
3573- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
3574
3575	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3576	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3577	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3578	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3579	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3580	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3581	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3582
3583Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
3584has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
3585created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
3586until then to read environment variables.
3587
3588The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3589is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3590with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3591necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3592"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3593have any device yet where we could complain.]
3594
3595Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3596the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
3597use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
3598
3599- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
3600		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
3601
3602		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
3603		      also needs to be defined.
3604
3605- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
3606		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
3607
3608- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3609		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3610		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3611		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
3612		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3613		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3614
3615- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3616		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3617		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3618		to do this.
3619
3620- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3621		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3622		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3623		present.
3624
3625Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
3626---------------------------------------------------
3627
3628- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
3629		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
3630
3631- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
3632		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
3633
3634		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
3635		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
3636		the IMMR register after a reset.
3637
3638- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3639		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3640		PowerPC SOCs.
3641
3642- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3643		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3644		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3645
3646		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3647		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3648
3649- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3650		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
3651		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
3652		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
3653		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
3654		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
3655		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3656
3657		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3658			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3659
3660- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
3661		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
3662		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
3663		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3664		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3665
3666- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3667		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  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_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3672		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3673		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
3674
3675- Floppy Disk Support:
3676		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
3677
3678		the default drive number (default value 0)
3679
3680		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
3681
3682		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
3683		(default value 1)
3684
3685		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
3686
3687		defines the offset of register from address. It
3688		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
3689		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
3690
3691		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
3692		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
3693		default value.
3694
3695		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
3696		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
3697		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
3698		source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
3699		initializations.
3700
3701- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
3702		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3703		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3704		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3705		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3706		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
3707		is requierd.
3708
3709- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
3710		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
3711		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
3712
3713- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
3714
3715		Start address of memory area that can be used for
3716		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
3717		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
3718		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
3719		will become available only after programming the
3720		memory controller and running certain initialization
3721		sequences.
3722
3723		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
3724		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
3725		- MPC824X: data cache
3726		- PPC4xx:  data cache
3727
3728- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
3729
3730		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
3731		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3732		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
3733		data is located at the end of the available space
3734		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
3735		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
3736		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
3737		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
3738
3739	Note:
3740		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3741		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
3742		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
3743		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
3744		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
3745

3774  CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM:
3775		Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
3776
3777- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K,
3778  CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL:
3779		Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer
3780		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
3781
3782- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
3783		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
3784		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
3785
3786- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
3787		enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
3788		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1]
3789
3790- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
3791		enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
3792		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
3793
3794- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
3795		Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
3796		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
3797		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
3798
3799- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
3800		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
3801		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
3802		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
3803		cpm_8260.h.
3804
3805- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
3806  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,
3807  CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS,

3811  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE,
3812  CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
3813		Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
3814
3815- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
3816		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
3817		required.
3818
3819- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
3820		Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
3821		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
3822		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
3823		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
3824		by coreboot or similar.
3825
3826- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
3827		Chip has SRIO or not
3828
3829- CONFIG_SRIO1:
3830		Board has SRIO 1 port available
3831
3832- CONFIG_SRIO2:
3833		Board has SRIO 2 port available
3834
3835- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:

3837
3838- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
3839		Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
3840
3841- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
3842		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
3843
3844- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
3845		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
3846		a 16 bit bus.
3847		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
3848		Example of drivers that use it:
3849		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
3850		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
3851
3852- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
3853		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
3854		a default value will be used.
3855
3856- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
3857		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
3858		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
3859
3860  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
3861		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
3862
3863- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
3864		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
3865		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
3866		to something your driver can deal with.
3867
3868- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
3869		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
3870		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
3871		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
3872		header files or board specific files.
3873
3874- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
3875		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
3876
3877- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
3878		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
3879		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
3880
3881- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
3882		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
3883
3884- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
3885		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
3886		to the given FEC; i. e.
3887			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
3888		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
3889
3890		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
3891
3892- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
3893		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
3894		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
3895
3896- CONFIG_RMII
3897		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
3898		Note that this is a global option, we can't
3899		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
3900
3901- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
3902		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
3903		The syntax is:
3904
3905		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
3906
3907		Where address/count indicate a memory area
3908		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
3909		area should have.
3910
3911- CONFIG_LOOPW
3912		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
3913		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
3914
3915- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
3916		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
3917		"md/mw" commands.
3918		Examples:
3919
3920		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
3921		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
3922
3923		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
3924		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
3925
3926		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
3927		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
3928
3929- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
3930		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
3931		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3932		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3933		relocate itself into RAM.
3934
3935		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3936		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3937		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3938		these initializations itself.
3939
3940- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
3941		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
3942		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
3943		compiling a NAND SPL.
3944
3945- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
3946		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
3947		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
3948		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
3949		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
3950		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
3951		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
3952		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
3953
3954- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
3955  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
3956		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
3957		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
3958		conditions but may increase the binary size.
3959
3960- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
3961		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
3962		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
3963
3964- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
3965		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
3966
3967		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
3968
3969Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3970-----------------------------------
3971
3972The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3973loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3974This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3975are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3976within that device.
3977
3978- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3979	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
3980	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3981	is also specified.
3982
3983- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3984	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
3985	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3986	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3987	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3988
3989- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3990	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3991	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3992	virtual address in NOR flash.
3993
3994- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3995	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3996	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3997
3998- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3999	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4000	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4001
4002- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4003	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4004	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4005
4006- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4007	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4008	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4009	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4010	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4011	master's memory space.
4012
4013Building the Software:
4014======================
4015
4016Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4017and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4018all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4019(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4020recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4021which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4022
4023If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4024have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4025you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4026Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4027necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4028
4029	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4030	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
4031
4032Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4033      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4034      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4035      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
4036
4037       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4038
4039      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4040      be executed on computers running Windows.
4041
4042U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4043sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4044is done by typing:
4045
4046	make NAME_config
4047
4048where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4049rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4050
4051Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4052      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4053      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4054      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4055      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4056
4057      make TQM823L_config
4058	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4059
4060      make TQM823L_LCD_config
4061	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4062
4063      etc.
4064
4065
4066Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4067images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4068
4069- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4070- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4071- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4072
4073By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4074in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4075this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4076
40771. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4078
4079	make O=/tmp/build distclean
4080	make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4081	make O=/tmp/build all
4082
40832. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4084
4085	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4086	make distclean
4087	make NAME_config
4088	make all
4089
4090Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4091variable.
4092
4093
4094Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4095for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4096native "make".
4097
4098
4099If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4100to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4101steps:
4102
41031.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4104    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4105    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
41062.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4107    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4108    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
41093.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4110    your board
41113.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4112    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
41134.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
41145.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4115    to be installed on your target system.
41166.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4117    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4118
4119
4120Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4121==============================================================
4122
4123If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4124or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4125provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4126the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4127official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4128
4129But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4130cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4131the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4132just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
4133for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4134select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4135environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4136you can type
4137
4138	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4139
4140or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4141
4142	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4143
4144When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4145U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4146setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4147built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4148<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4149location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4150variable. For example:
4151
4152	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4153	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4154	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4155
4156With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4157log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4158during the whole build process.

4217
4218For now: just type "help <command>".
4219
4220
4221Environment Variables:
4222======================
4223
4224U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4225can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4226
4227Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4228"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4229without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4230environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4231working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4232environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4233
4234Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4235
4236List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4237
4238  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4239
4240  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4241
4242  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4243
4244  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4245
4246  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
4247
4248  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4249		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4250		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4251		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4252		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4253		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4254		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4255		  bootm_mapsize.
4256
4257  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4258		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4259		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4260		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4261		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4262		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4263		  used otherwise.
4264
4265  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4266		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4267		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4268		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4269		  environment variable.
4270
4271  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4272		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4273		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4274
4275  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4276		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4277		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4278		  load any image using TFTP
4279
4280  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4281		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4282		  be automatically started (by internally calling
4283		  "bootm")
4284
4285		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4286		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4287		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4288		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4289		  data.
4290
4291  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4292		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4293		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4294		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4295		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4296		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4297		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4298		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4299		  access it during the boot procedure.
4300
4301		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4302		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
4303		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4304		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4305		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4306		  must be accessible by the kernel.
4307
4308  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4309		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4310		  defined.
4311
4312  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4313		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4314		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4315		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4316		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
4317
4318  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
4319		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4320		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4321		  is usually what you want since it allows for
4322		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4323		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4324		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4325		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4326		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4327		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4328		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4329
4330		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4331		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4332		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4333		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4334		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4335		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
4336
4337		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4338
4339		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4340		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4341		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4342		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4343		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4344		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
4345		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4346
4347  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4348
4349  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4350		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4351
4352  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4353
4354  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4355
4356  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4357
4358  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4359
4360  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4361
4362  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
4363
4364  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
4365		  For example you can do the following
4366
4367		  => setenv ethact FEC
4368		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4369		  => setenv ethact SCC
4370		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4371
4372  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4373		  available network interfaces.
4374		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4375
4376  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
4377		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
4378		  When set to "once" the network operation will
4379		  fail when all the available network interfaces
4380		  are tried once without success.
4381		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4382		  themselves.
4383
4384  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
4385
4386  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4387		  UDP source port.
4388
4389  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4390		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4391
4392  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4393		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
4394
4395  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4396		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4397		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4398		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4399		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4400		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4401		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
4402
4403  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4404		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4405		  VLAN tagged frames.
4406
4407The following image location variables contain the location of images
4408used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4409not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4410variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4411server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4412loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4413flash or offset in NAND flash.
4414
4415*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4416boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4417boards use these variables for other purposes.
4418
4419Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
4420-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
4421u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
4422Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
4423device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
4424ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
4425
4426The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4427updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4428depending the information provided by your boot server:
4429
4430  bootfile	- see above
4431  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
4432  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4433  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4434  hostname	- Target hostname
4435  ipaddr	- see above
4436  netmask	- Subnet Mask
4437  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4438  serverip	- see above
4439
4440
4441There are two special Environment Variables:
4442
4443  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
4444		  as type string and/or serial number
4445  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
4446
4447These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4448the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4449once they have been set once.
4450
4451
4452Further special Environment Variables:
4453
4454  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4455		  with the "version" command. This variable is
4456		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4457
4458
4459Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4460only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4461
4462
4463Callback functions for environment variables:
4464---------------------------------------------
4465
4466For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4467when their values are changed.  This functionailty allows functions to
4468be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
4469deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4470effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4471
4472The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4473U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4474
4475These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
4476static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4477in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4478associations.  The list must be in the following format:
4479
4480	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4481	list = entry[,list]
4482
4483If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4484Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4485
4486Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4487with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
4488override any association in the static list. You can define
4489CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4490".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4491
4492
4493Command Line Parsing:
4494=====================
4495
4496There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4497the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
4498
4499Old, simple command line parser:
4500--------------------------------
4501
4502- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4503- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
4504- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
4505- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4506  for example:
4507	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
4508- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4509	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
4510
4511Hush shell:
4512-----------
4513
4514- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4515  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4516  until...do...done, ...
4517- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4518  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4519  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4520  command
4521
4522General rules:
4523--------------
4524
4525(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4526    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4527    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4528    executed anyway.
4529
4530(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
4531    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
4532    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4533    variables are not executed.
4534
4535Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4536=======================================
4537
4538Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
4539such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4540"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
4541
4542Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4543MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4544"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
4545
4546If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4547in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4548ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4549variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
4550
4551o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4552  environment, the SROM's address is used.
4553
4554o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4555  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4556  used.
4557
4558o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4559  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
4560
4561o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4562  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4563  warning is printed.
4564
4565o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4566  is raised.
4567
4568If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
4569will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
4570may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4571The naming convention is as follows:
4572"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
4573
4574Image Formats:
4575==============
4576
4577U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4578images in two formats:
4579
4580New uImage format (FIT)
4581-----------------------
4582
4583Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4584to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4585components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4586SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4587
4588
4589Old uImage format
4590-----------------
4591
4592Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4593preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4594details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
4595
4596* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
4597  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
4598  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
4599  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
4600  INTEGRITY).
4601* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
4602  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
4603  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
4604* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
4605* Load Address
4606* Entry Point
4607* Image Name
4608* Image Timestamp
4609
4610The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
4611and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
4612CRC32 checksums.
4613
4614
4615Linux Support:
4616==============
4617
4618Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4619easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4620U-Boot.
4621
4622U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4623special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4624"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4625instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4626serves several purposes:
4627
4628- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4629  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4630  Flash memory footprint)
4631
4632- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4633  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
4634
4635- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4636  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4637  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4638  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4639  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4640  software is easier now.
4641
4642
4643Linux HOWTO:
4644============
4645
4646Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4647---------------------------------------
4648
4649U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4650configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4651(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4652Linux :-).
4653
4654But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
4655
4656Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4657include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
4658Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4659and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
4660as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
4661
4662
4663Configuring the Linux kernel:
4664-----------------------------
4665
4666No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4667device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4668
4669
4670Building a Linux Image:
4671-----------------------
4672
4673With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4674not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4675"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4676U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4677which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4678100% compatible format.
4679
4680Example:
4681
4682	make TQM850L_config
4683	make oldconfig
4684	make dep
4685	make uImage
4686
4687The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4688encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
4689CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4690
4691* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4692
4693* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4694
4695	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4696				 -R .note -R .comment \
4697				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4698
4699* compress the binary image:
4700
4701	gzip -9 linux.bin
4702
4703* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4704
4705	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4706		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4707		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
4708
4709
4710The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4711with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4712combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4713byte header containing information about target architecture,
4714operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4715stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4716
4717"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4718print the header information, or to build new images.
4719
4720In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4721contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4722checksum verification:
4723
4724	tools/mkimage -l image
4725	  -l ==> list image header information
4726
4727The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4728from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4729
4730	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4731		      -n name -d data_file image
4732	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4733	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4734	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4735	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4736	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4737	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4738	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4739	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4740
4741Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4742address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4743kernel version:
4744
4745- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4746- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4747
4748So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4749
4750	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4751	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
4752	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
4753	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
4754	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4755	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4756	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4757	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4758	Load Address: 0x00000000
4759	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4760
4761To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4762
4763	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
4764	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4765	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4766	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4767	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4768	Load Address: 0x00000000
4769	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4770
4771NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4772speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4773needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4774need to be uncompressed:
4775
4776	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
4777	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4778	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
4779	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
4780	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
4781	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4782	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4783	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
4784	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
4785	Load Address: 0x00000000
4786	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4787
4788
4789Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4790when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
4791
4792	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
4793	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
4794	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
4795	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
4796	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
4797	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
4798	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
4799	Load Address: 0x00000000
4800	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4801
4802
4803Installing a Linux Image:
4804-------------------------
4805
4806To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4807you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4808
4809	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4810
4811The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4812image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4813address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4814specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4815command.
4816
4817Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4818TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4819
4820	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
4821
4822	.......... done
4823	Erased 8 sectors
4824
4825	=> loads 40100000
4826	## Ready for S-Record download ...
4827	~>examples/image.srec
4828	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
4829	...
4830	15989 15990 15991 15992
4831	[file transfer complete]
4832	[connected]
4833	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
4834
4835
4836You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
4837this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
4838corruption happened:
4839
4840	=> imi 40100000
4841
4842	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
4843	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
4844	   Image Type:	 PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4845	   Data Size:	 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
4846	   Load Address: 00000000
4847	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
4848	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
4849
4850
4851Boot Linux:
4852-----------
4853
4854The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4855memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4856of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
4857parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
4858"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
4859
4860
4861	=> printenv bootargs
4862	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
4863
4864	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
4865
4866	=> printenv bootargs
4867	bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
4868
4869	=> bootm 40020000
4870	## Booting Linux kernel at 40020000 ...

4885If you want to boot a Linux kernel with initial RAM disk, you pass
4886the memory addresses of both the kernel and the initrd image (PPBCOOT

4937First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
4938titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The

4983More About U-Boot Image Types:
4984------------------------------
4985
4986U-Boot supports the following image types:
4987
4988   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4989	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4990	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4991	the Standalone Program.
4992   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4993	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4994	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4995	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4996	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4997   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4998	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4999	being started.
5000   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5001	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5002	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5003	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5004	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5005	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5006
5007	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5008	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5009	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5010	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5011	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5012	a multiple of 4 bytes).
5013
5014   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5015	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5016	flash memory.
5017
5018   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5019	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5020	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5021	as command interpreter.
5022
5023Booting the Linux zImage:
5024-------------------------
5025
5026On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5027using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5028as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5029
5030Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
5031kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5032address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5033format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5034
5035
5036Standalone HOWTO:
5037=================
5038
5039One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5040run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5041U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5042
5043Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5044
5045"Hello World" Demo:
5046-------------------
5047
5048'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5049application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5050It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5051like that:
5052
5053	=> loads
5054	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5055	~>examples/hello_world.srec
5056	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5057	[file transfer complete]
5058	[connected]
5059	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5060
5061	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5062	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5063	Hello World
5064	argc = 7
5065	argv[0] = "40004"
5066	argv[1] = "Hello"
5067	argv[2] = "World!"
5068	argv[3] = "This"
5069	argv[4] = "is"
5070	argv[5] = "a"
5071	argv[6] = "test."
5072	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5073	Hit any key to exit ...
5074
5075	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5076
5077Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5078handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5079Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5080The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5081character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5082controlled by the following keys:
5083
5084	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5085	b - enable interrupts and start timer
5086	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5087	q - quit application
5088
5089	=> loads

5124Minicom warning:
5125================
5126
5127Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5128"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5129consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5130Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5131especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5132use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
5133http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5134for help with kermit.
5135
5136
5137Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5138configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5139
5140	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5141	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

5145NetBSD Notes:
5146=============
5147
5148Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5149(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5150
5151Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5152NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5153need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5154Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5155attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5156missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5157
5158	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5159	# mkdir powerpc
5160	# ln -s powerpc machine
5161	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5162	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5163
5164Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5165and U-Boot include files.
5166
5167Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5168stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5169proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5170tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5171meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5172
5173
5174Implementation Internals:
5175=========================
5176
5177The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5178implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5179inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5180hardware.
5181
5182
5183Initial Stack, Global Data:
5184---------------------------
5185
5186The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5187starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5188system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5189This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5190is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5191at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5192options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5193models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5194MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5195locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5196
5197	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5198	U-Boot mailing list:
5199
5200	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5201	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5202	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5203	...
5204
5205	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5206	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5207	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5208	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5209	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5210	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5211	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5212	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5213
5214	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5215	is another option for the system designer to use as an
5216	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5217	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5218	board designers haven't used it for something that would
5219	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5220	used.
5221
5222	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5223	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5224	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5225	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5226	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5227	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5228	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5229	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5230	you get the config right.

5234
5235It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5236code for the initialization procedures:
5237
5238* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5239  to write it.
5240
5241* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
5242  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5243  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5244
5245* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5246  that.
5247
5248Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5249normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5250turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5251simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5252functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5253functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5254the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5255place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5256reserve for this purpose.
5257
5258When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5259relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
5260GCC's implementation.
5261
5262For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5263	R1:	stack pointer
5264	R2:	reserved for system use
5265	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
5266	R5-R10: parameter passing
5267	R13:	small data area pointer
5268	R30:	GOT pointer
5269	R31:	frame pointer
5270
5271	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5272	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5273	going back and forth between asm and C)
5274
5275    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5276
5277    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5278    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5279    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5280    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5281    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5282    624 text + 127 data).
5283
5284On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
5285	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
5286
5287    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
5288
5289On ARM, the following registers are used:
5290
5291	R0:	function argument word/integer result
5292	R1-R3:	function argument word
5293	R9:	GOT pointer
5294	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
5295	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
5296	R12:	temporary workspace
5297	R13:	stack pointer
5298	R14:	link register
5299	R15:	program counter
5300
5301    ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
5302
5303On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5304	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5305
5306    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5307
5308    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5309    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5310
5311On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5312
5313	R0-R1:	argument/return
5314	R2-R5:	argument
5315	R15:	temporary register for assembler
5316	R16:	trampoline register
5317	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
5318	R29:	global pointer (GP)
5319	R30:	link register (LP)
5320	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
5321	PC:	program counter (PC)
5322
5323    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5324
5325NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5326or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5327
5328Memory Management:
5329------------------
5330
5331U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5332MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5333
5334The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5335controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5336memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5337physical memory banks.
5338
5339U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5340TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5341booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5342to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5343memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5344configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5345Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5346
5347Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5348of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5349
5350So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5351this:
5352
5353	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
5354	      :
5355	0x0000 1FFF
5356	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
5357	      :
5358	      :
5359
5360	      :
5361	      :
5362	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5363	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5364	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
5365	      :
5366	0x00FD FFFF
5367	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5368	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5369	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5370	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
5371
5372
5373System Initialization:
5374----------------------
5375
5376In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5377(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5378configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5379To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5380To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5381initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5382which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5383part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5384the caches and the SIU.
5385
5386Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5387preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5388(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5389on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5390programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5391simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5392banks.
5393
5394When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5395different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5396bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
53970x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5398contiguous memory starting from 0.
5399
5400Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5401and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5402Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5403pages, and the final stack is set up.
5404
5405Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5406until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5407running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5408new address in RAM.

5485Coding Standards:
5486-----------------
5487
5488All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
5489coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
5490"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
5491
5492Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5493MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5494reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5495sources.
5496
5497Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5498Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5499in your code.
5500
5501Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5502- remove any trailing white space
5503- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
5504- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
5505- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
5506- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5507
5508Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5509with a request to reformat the changes.
5510
5511
5512Submitting Patches:
5513-------------------
5514
5515Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5516establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5517may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
5518
5519Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
5520
5521Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5522see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5523
5524When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5525it:
5526
5527* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5528  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5529  patch actually fixes something.
5530
5531* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5532  implementation.
5533
5534* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5535
5536* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
5537
5538* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
5539  board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
5540
5541* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5542  document these in the README file.
5543
5544* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5545  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
5546  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
5547  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5548  with some other mail clients.
5549
5550  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5551  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5552  GNU diff.
5553
5554  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5555  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5556  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5557  affected files).
5558
5559  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5560  and compressed attachments must not be used.
5561
5562* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5563  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5564
5565* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5566  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5567
5568
5569Notes:
5570
5571* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5572  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5573  for any of the boards.
5574
5575* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5576  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5577  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
5578
5579* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5580  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5581  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5582  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5583  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5584  modification.
5585
5586* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5587  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5588  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5589  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
