8Summary:
9========
10
11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board
39maintainers.
40
41Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
42it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:
43
44	make CHANGELOG

224Software Configuration:
225=======================
226
227Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
228rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
229
230There are two classes of configuration variables:
231
232* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
233  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
234  "CONFIG_".
235
236* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
237  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
238  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
239  "CONFIG_SYS_".
240
241Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
242identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
243do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
244links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
245as an example here.
246
247
248Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
249---------------------------------------------------
250
251For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
252configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
253
254Example: For a TQM823L module type:
255
256	cd u-boot
257	make TQM823L_config
258
259For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
260e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
261directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
262
263
264Configuration Options:
265----------------------
266
267Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
268such information is kept in a configuration file
269"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
270
271Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
272"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
273
274
275Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
276kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
277build a config tool - later.
278
279
280The following options need to be configured:
281
282- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
283
284- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
285
286- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
287		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
288
289- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
290		Define exactly one of
291		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
292--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
293		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
294		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
295
296- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
297		Define exactly one of
298		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
299
300- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
301		Define one or more of
302		CONFIG_CMA302
303
304- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
305		Define one or more of
306		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
307					  the LCD display every second with
308					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
309
310- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
311		CONFIG_ADSTYPE
312		Possible values are:
313			CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS	- original MPC8260ADS
314			CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS	- MPC8266ADS
315			CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS	- PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
316			CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS	- MPC8272ADS
317
318- Marvell Family Member
319		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
320					  multiple fs option at one time
321					  for marvell soc family
322
323- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
324		Define exactly one of
325		CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
326
327- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
328		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
329					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
330					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
331					  reference PIT/RTC clock
332		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
333					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
334
335- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
336		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
337		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
338		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
339			See doc/README.MPC866
340
341		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
342
343		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
344		of relying on the correctness of the configured
345		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
346		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
347		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
348		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
349
350		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
351
352		Define this option if you want to enable the
353		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
354
355- 85xx CPU Options:
356		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
357
358		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
359		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
360		compliance, among other possible reasons.
361
362		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
363
364		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
365		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
366		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
367
368		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
369
370		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
371		tree nodes for the given platform.
372
373		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
374
375		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
376		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
377		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
378		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
379		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
380		purpose.
381
382		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
383
384		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
385		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
386		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
387
388		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
389		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
390
391		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
392		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
393
394		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
395		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
396		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
397		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
398
399		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
400		this erratum.
401
402		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
403		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
404		requred during NOR boot.
405
406		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
407
408		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
409		according to the A004510 workaround.
410
411		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
412		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
413		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
414
415		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
416		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
417		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
418
419		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
420		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
421		connected to the DSP core.
422
423		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
424		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
425
426		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
427		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
428		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
429		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
430
431- Generic CPU options:
432		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
433
434		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
435		values is arch specific.

526
527		Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
528		See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
529
530		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
531
532		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
533		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
534		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
535
536- ARM options:
537		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
538
539		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
540		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
541
542		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
543
544		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
545		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
546		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
547		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
548		GCC.
549
550		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
551		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
552		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
553		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
554
555		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
556		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
557		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
558		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
559		set these options unless they apply!
560
561- CPU timer options:
562		CONFIG_SYS_HZ
563
564		The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer().
565		get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG
566		option must be set to 1000.
567
568- Linux Kernel Interface:
569		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
570
571		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
572		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
573		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
574		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
575		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
576		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
577		Linux kernel.
578		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
579		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
580		default environment.
581
582		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
583
584		When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
585		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
586		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
587
588		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
589
590		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
591		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
592		concepts).
593
594		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
595		 * New libfdt-based support
596		 * Adds the "fdt" command
597		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
598
599		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
600			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
601		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
602			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
603		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
604		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
605
606		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
607		addresses
608
609		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
610
611		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
612		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
613
614		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
615
616		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
617		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
618
619		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
620
621		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
622		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
623		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
624		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
625		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
626		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
627
628		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
629
630		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
631		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
632		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
633		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
634		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
635		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
636		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
637
638- vxWorks boot parameters:
639
640		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
641		environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
642		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
643
644		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
645		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
646		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
647		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
648
649		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
650
651		Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
652
653		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
654		the defaults discussed just above.
655
656- Cache Configuration:
657		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
658		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
659		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
660
661- Cache Configuration for ARM:
662		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
663				      controller
664		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
665					controller register space
666
667- Serial Ports:
668		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
669
670		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
671
672		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
673
674		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
675
676		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
677
678		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
679		the clock speed of the UARTs.
680
681		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
682
683		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
684		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
685		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
686
687		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
688
689		Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
690		have separate receive and transmit line control registers.  Set
691		this variable to initialize the extra register.
692
693		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
694
695		On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
696		boot loader that has already initialized the UART.  Define this
697		variable to flush the UART at init time.
698
699
700- Console Interface:
701		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
702		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
703		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
704		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
705
706		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
707		port routines must be defined elsewhere
708		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
709
710		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
711		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
712		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
713			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
714						(default big endian)
715			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
716						rectangle fill
717						(cf. smiLynxEM)
718			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
719						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
720			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
721						(cols=pitch)
722			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
723			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
724			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
725						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
726			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
727			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
728						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
729			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
730						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
731			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
732						(i.e. i8042_getc)
733			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
734						(requires blink timer
735						cf. i8042.c)
736			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
737			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
738						upper right corner
739						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
740			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
741						upper left corner
742			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
743						linux_logo.h for logo.
744						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
745			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
746						additional board info beside
747						the logo
748
749		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
750		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
751		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
752
753		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
754		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
755		environment 'console=serial'.
756
757		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
758		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
759		the "silent" environment variable. See
760		doc/README.silent for more information.
761
762		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
763			is 0x00.
764		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
765			is 0xa0.
766
767- Console Baudrate:
768		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
769		Select one of the baudrates listed in
770		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
771		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
772
773- Console Rx buffer length
774		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
775		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
776		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
777		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
778		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
779		the SMC.
780
781- Pre-Console Buffer:
782		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
783		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
784		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
785		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
786		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
787		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
788		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
789		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
790		earlier bytes are discarded.
791
792		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
793		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
794
795- Safe printf() functions
796		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
797		the printf() functions. These are defined in
798		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
799		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
800		If this option is not given then these functions will
801		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
802		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
803
804- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
805		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
806		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
807		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
808		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
809
810		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
811		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
812		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
813		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
814		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
815		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
816		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
817		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
818		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
819		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
820		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
821		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
822
823- Autoboot Command:
824		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
825		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
826		define a command string that is automatically executed
827		when no character is read on the console interface
828		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
829
830		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
831		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
832		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
833		environment value "bootargs".
834
835		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
836		The value of these goes into the environment as
837		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
838		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
839		RAM and NFS.
840
841- Bootcount:
842		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
843		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
844		cycle, see:
845		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
846
847		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
848		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
849		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
850		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
851		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
852		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
853		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
854		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
855		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
856
857- Pre-Boot Commands:
858		CONFIG_PREBOOT
859
860		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
861		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
862		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
863		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
864		entering interactive mode.
865
866		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
867		automatically generated or modified. For an example
868		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
869		modified when the user holds down a certain
870		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
871		booting the systems
872
873- Serial Download Echo Mode:
874		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
875		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
876		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
877		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
878		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
879		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
880		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
881
882- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
883		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
884		Select one of the baudrates listed in
885		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
886
887- Monitor Functions:
888		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
889		from the build by using the #include files
890		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
891		commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
892		and augmenting with additional #define's
893		for wanted commands.
894
895		The default command configuration includes all commands
896		except those marked below with a "*".

1002
1003		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1004		support you can write:
1005
1006		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1007		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1008
1009	Other Commands:
1010		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1011
1012	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1013		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1014		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1015		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1016		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1017		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1018		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1019		initial stack and some data.
1020
1021
1022		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1023
1024- Regular expression support:
1025		CONFIG_REGEX
1026		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1027		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1028		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1029		example "env grep" and "setexpr".

1031- Device tree:
1032		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1033		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1034		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1035		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1036		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1037		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1038
1039		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1040		be done using one of the two options below:
1041
1042		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1043		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1044		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1045		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1046		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1047		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1048
1049		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1050		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1051		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1052		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1053
1054			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1055
1056		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1057		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1058		still use the individual files if you need something more
1059		exotic.
1060
1061- Watchdog:
1062		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1063		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1064		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1065		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1066		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1067		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1068		available, then no further board specific code should
1069		be needed to use it.
1070
1071		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1072		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1073		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1074		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1075
1076- U-Boot Version:
1077		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1078		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1079		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1080		version as printed by the "version" command.
1081		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1082		next reset.
1083
1084- Real-Time Clock:
1085
1086		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1087		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1088		following options:
1089
1090		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1091		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC

1095		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1096		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1097		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1098		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1099		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1100		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1101		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1102					  RV3029 RTC.
1103
1104		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1105		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1106
1107- GPIO Support:
1108		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1109
1110		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1111		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1112		pins supported by a particular chip.
1113
1114		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1115		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1116
1117- Timestamp Support:
1118
1119		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1120		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1121		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1122		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .

1132				       disk/part_efi.c
1133		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1134
1135		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1136		CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1137		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1138
1139- IDE Reset method:
1140		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1141		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1142
1143		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1144		be performed by calling the function
1145			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1146		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1147
1148- ATAPI Support:
1149		CONFIG_ATAPI
1150
1151		Set this to enable ATAPI support.

1155
1156		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1157		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1158		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1159		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1160
1161		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1162			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1163			Default is 32bit.
1164

1170		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1171		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1172		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1173		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1174		devices.
1175		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1176
1177		The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1178		SCSI devices found during the last scan.
1179

1266			Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1267			If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1268			wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1269			useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1270			control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1271			correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1272

1326			to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at
1327			0xfed40000.
1328
1329		CONFIG_CMD_TPM
1330		Add tpm monitor functions.
1331		Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also
1332		provides monitor access to authorized functions.
1333

1371		interval for usb hub power-on delay.(minimum 100msec)
1372
1373- USB Device:
1374		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1375		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1376		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1377		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1378		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1379		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1380		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1381		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1382		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1383		a Linux host by
1384		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1385		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1386		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1387		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1388
1389			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1390			Define this to build a UDC device
1391
1392			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1393			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1394			talk to the UDC device
1395
1396			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1397			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1398			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1399			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1400			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1401			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1402			speed.
1403
1404			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1405			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1406			be set to usbtty.
1407
1408			mpc8xx:
1409				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1410				Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1411				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02

1414				Derive USB clock from brgclk
1415				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1416
1417		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1418		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1419		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1420		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1421		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1422		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1423
1424			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1425			Define this string as the name of your company for
1426			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1427
1428			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1429			Define this string as the name of your product
1430			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1431
1432			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1433			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1434			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1435			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1436			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1437
1438			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1439			Define this as the unique Product ID
1440			for your device
1441			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1442
1443		Some USB device drivers may need to check USB cable attachment.
1444		In this case you can enable following config in BoardName.h:
1445			CONFIG_USB_CABLE_CHECK
1446			This enables function definition:
1447			- usb_cable_connected() in include/usb.h
1448			Implementation of this function is board-specific.
1449
1450- ULPI Layer Support:
1451		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1452		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1453		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1454		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1455		viewport is supported.
1456		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1457		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1458		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1459		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1460		the appropriate value in Hz.
1461
1462- MMC Support:
1463		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1464		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1465		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1466		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1467		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1468		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1469
1470		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1471		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1472
1473			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1474			Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1475
1476			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1477			Define the clock frequency for MMCIF

1480		CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1481		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1482
1483		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1484		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1485		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1486		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1487		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1488
1489		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1490		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1491
1492		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1493		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1494
1495		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1496		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1497		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1498		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1499		one that would help mostly the developer.
1500
1501		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1502		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1503		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1504		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1505		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1506
1507		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1508		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1509		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1510		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1511		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1512		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1513
1514- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1515		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1516		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1517		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1518
1519		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1520		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS

1522
1523		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1524		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1525		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1526
1527		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1528		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1529		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1530		have not defined a custom partition
1531
1532- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1533		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1534
1535		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1536		file in FAT formatted partition.
1537
1538		This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1539		user to write files to FAT.
1540
1541CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1542		CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1543
1544		Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1545		filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1546		and cbfsload.
1547
1548- Keyboard Support:
1549		CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
1550
1551		Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1552		support
1553
1554		CONFIG_I8042_KBD
1555		Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1556		GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1557		Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1558		for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1559
1560		CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB
1561		Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface.
1562		This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller
1563		which provides key scans on request.
1564
1565- Video support:
1566		CONFIG_VIDEO
1567
1568		Define this to enable video support (for output to
1569		video).
1570
1571		CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1572
1573		Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1574
1575		CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1576		Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1577		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1578		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1579		assumed.
1580
1581		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1582		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1583		are possible:
1584		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1585		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1586
1587		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1588		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1589		      8 bits |	0x301*	0x303	 0x305	  0x161	    0x307
1590		     15 bits |	0x310	0x313	 0x316	  0x162	    0x319
1591		     16 bits |	0x311	0x314	 0x317	  0x163	    0x31A
1592		     24 bits |	0x312	0x315	 0x318	    ?	    0x31B
1593		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1594		(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1595
1596		- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1597		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1598
1599
1600		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1601		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1602		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1603		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1604
1605		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1606		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1607		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1608		support, and should also define these other macros:
1609
1610			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1611			CONFIG_VIDEO
1612			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1613			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1614			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1615			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1616			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1617			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1618
1619		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1620		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1621		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1622		description of this variable.
1623
1624		CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1625
1626		Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1627		are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1628		driver.
1629
1630
1631- Keyboard Support:
1632		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1633
1634		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1635		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1636		defined in your board-specific files.
1637		The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1638
1639- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1640
1641		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1642		display); also select one of the supported displays
1643		by defining one of these:
1644
1645		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1646
1647			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1648
1649		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1650
1651			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1652
1653		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1654
1655			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1656			Active, color, single scan.
1657
1658		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1659
1660			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1661			Active, color, single scan.
1662
1663		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1664
1665			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1666			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1667
1668		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1669
1670			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1671			Active, color, single scan.
1672
1673		CONFIG_HLD1045
1674
1675			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1676			Active, color, single scan.
1677
1678		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1679
1680			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1681			or
1682			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1683			or
1684			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1685
1686			320x240. Black & white.
1687
1688		Normally display is black on white background; define
1689		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1690
1691		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1692
1693		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1694		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1695		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1696		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1697		a per-section basis.
1698
1699		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1700
1701		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1702		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1703		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1704		is slow.
1705
1706		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1707
1708		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1709
1710		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1711
1712		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1713		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1714
1715- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1716
1717		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1718		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1719		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1720		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1721		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1722		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1723		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1724		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1725
1726		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1727
1728		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1729		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1730		(see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1731		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1732		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1733		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1734		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1735		there is no need to set this option.
1736
1737		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1738
1739		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1740		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1741		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1742		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1743		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1744		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1745
1746		Example:
1747		setenv splashpos m,m
1748			=> image at center of screen
1749
1750		setenv splashpos 30,20
1751			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1752
1753		setenv splashpos -10,m
1754			=> vertically centered image
1755			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1756
1757- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1758
1759		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1760		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1761		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1762
1763- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1764
1765		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1766		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1767		bmp command.
1768
1769- Do compresssing for memory range:
1770		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1771
1772		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1773		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1774
1775- Compression support:
1776		CONFIG_GZIP
1777
1778		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1779
1780		CONFIG_BZIP2
1781
1782		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1783		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1784		compressed images are supported.
1785
1786		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1787		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1788		be at least 4MB.
1789
1790		CONFIG_LZMA
1791
1792		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1793		images is included.
1794
1795		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1796		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1797		formula:
1798
1799			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1800
1801		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1802		and Literal pos bits.
1803
1804		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1805		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1806		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1807		a very small buffer.
1808
1809		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1810		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1811		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1812
1813		CONFIG_LZO
1814
1815		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1816		is included.
1817
1818- MII/PHY support:
1819		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1820
1821		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1822
1823		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1824
1825		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1826
1827		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1828
1829		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1830		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1831
1832		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1833
1834		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1835		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1836		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1837		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1838
1839		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1840
1841		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1842		command issued before MII status register can be read
1843
1844- Ethernet address:
1845		CONFIG_ETHADDR
1846		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
1847		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
1848		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
1849		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
1850		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
1851
1852		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1853		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
1854		is not determined automatically.
1855
1856- IP address:
1857		CONFIG_IPADDR
1858
1859		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1860		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1861		determined through e.g. bootp.
1862		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
1863
1864- Server IP address:
1865		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1866
1867		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1868		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1869		(Environment variable "serverip")
1870
1871		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1872
1873		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1874		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1875
1876- Gateway IP address:
1877		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1878
1879		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1880		default router where packets to other networks are
1881		sent to.
1882		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
1883
1884- Subnet mask:
1885		CONFIG_NETMASK
1886
1887		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1888		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1889		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1890		forwarded through a router.
1891		(Environment variable "netmask")
1892
1893- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1894		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1895
1896		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1897		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1898		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1899		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1900		multicast group.
1901
1902- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1903		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1904
1905		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1906		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1907		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1908		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1909		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1910		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1911		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1912		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1913		following delays are inserted then:
1914
1915		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1916		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1917		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1918		4th and following
1919		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1920
1921- DHCP Advanced Options:
1922		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1923		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1924
1925		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1926		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1927		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1928		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1929		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1930		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1931		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1932		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1933		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1934		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1935		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1936		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1937		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1938
1939		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1940		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1941
1942		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1943		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1944		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
1945		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1946		is not available.
1947
1948		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1949		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1950		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1951		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1952		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1953		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1954		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1955		is defined.
1956
1957		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1958		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1959		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1960		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1961		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1962		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1963
1964		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1965
1966		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1967		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1968		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1969		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1970		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1971		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1972		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1973		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1974		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1975		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1976		this delay.
1977
1978 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1979		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1980		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1981		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1982		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1983
1984		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1985
1986 - CDP Options:
1987		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1988
1989		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1990
1991		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1992
1993		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1994		of the device.
1995
1996		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1997
1998		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1999		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2000		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2001
2002		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2003
2004		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2005		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2006
2007		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2008
2009		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2010
2011		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2012
2013		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2014
2015		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2016
2017		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2018
2019		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2020
2021		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2022		device in .1 of milliwatts.
2023
2024		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2025
2026		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2027
2028- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2029
2030		Several configurations allow to display the current
2031		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2032		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2033		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2034		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2035		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2036		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2037		feature in U-Boot.
2038
2039		Additional options:
2040
2041		CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2042		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2043		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2044		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2045		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2046
2047		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2048		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2049		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2050		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2051		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2052		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2053
2054- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2055
2056		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2057		on those systems that support this (optional)
2058		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2059
2060- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2061
2062		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2063		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2064		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2065		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2066		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2067		interface.

2170		    9 i2c buses for Exynos4 and 1 for S3C24X0 SoCs from Samsung)
2171		    with a fix speed from 100000 and the slave addr 0!
2172
2173		additional defines:
2174
2175		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2176		Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2177		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2178		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2179		omit this define.
2180
2181		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2182		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2183		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2184		omit this define.
2185
2186		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2187		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2188		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2189		define.
2190
2191		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2192		hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2193		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2194		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2195		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2196
2197		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2198					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2199					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2200					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2201					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2202					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2203					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2204					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2205					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2206					}
2207
2208		which defines
2209			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2210			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2211			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2212			bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2213			bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2214			bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2215			bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2216			bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2217			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2218
2219		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2220
2221- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2222
2223		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2224		provides the following compelling advantages:
2225
2226		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2227		- approved multibus support
2228		- better i2c mux support
2229
2230		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2231
2232		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2233		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2234		for the selected CPU.
2235
2236		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2237		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2238		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2239		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2240		command line interface.
2241
2242		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2243
2244		There are several other quantities that must also be
2245		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2246
2247		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2248		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2249		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2250		the CPU's i2c node address).
2251
2252		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2253		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2254		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2255		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2256		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2257
2258		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2259
2260		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2261		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2262		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2263		commands until the slave device responds.
2264
2265		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2266
2267		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2268		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2269		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2270
2271		I2C_INIT
2272
2273		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2274		controller or configure ports.
2275
2276		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2277
2278		I2C_PORT
2279
2280		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2281		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2282		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2283
2284		I2C_ACTIVE
2285
2286		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2287		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2288		define can be null.
2289
2290		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2291
2292		I2C_TRISTATE
2293
2294		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2295		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2296		define can be null.
2297
2298		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2299
2300		I2C_READ
2301
2302		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2303		false if it is low.
2304
2305		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2306
2307		I2C_SDA(bit)
2308
2309		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2310		is false, it clears it (low).
2311
2312		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2313			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2314			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2315
2316		I2C_SCL(bit)
2317
2318		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2319		is false, it clears it (low).
2320
2321		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2322			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2323			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2324
2325		I2C_DELAY
2326
2327		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2328		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2329		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2330		like:
2331
2332		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2333
2334		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2335
2336		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2337		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2338		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2339		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2340
2341		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2342		the generic GPIO functions.
2343
2344		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2345
2346		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2347		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2348		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2349		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2350		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2351		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2352		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2353		is run early in the boot sequence.
2354
2355		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2356
2357		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2358		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2359		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2360		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2361		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2362		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2363		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2364		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2365
2366		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2367
2368		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2369		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2370		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2371
2372		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2373
2374		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2375		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2376		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2377		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2378
2379		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2380
2381		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2382		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2383		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2384		a 1D array of device addresses
2385
2386		e.g.
2387			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2388			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2389
2390		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2391
2392			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2393			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2394
2395		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2396
2397		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2398
2399		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2400		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2401
2402		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2403
2404		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2405		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2406
2407		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2408
2409		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2410		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2411
2412		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2413
2414		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2415		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2416		specified DTT device.
2417
2418		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2419
2420		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2421		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2422		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2423		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2424		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2425		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2426		the other.
2427
2428- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2429
2430		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2431		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2432		D/As on the SACSng board)
2433
2434		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2435
2436		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2437		only SH7757 is supported.
2438
2439		CONFIG_SPI_X
2440
2441		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2442		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2443
2444		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2445
2446		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2447		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2448		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2449		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2450		defined, the board configuration must define several
2451		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2452		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2453
2454		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2455
2456		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2457		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2458		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2459		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2460		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2461
2462		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2463
2464		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2465		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2466
2467- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2468
2469		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2470
2471		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2472
2473		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2474		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2475
2476		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2477
2478		Enables support for FPGA family.
2479		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2480
2481		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2482
2483		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2484
2485		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2486
2487		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2488
2489		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2490
2491		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2492		status by the configuration function. This option
2493		will require a board or device specific function to
2494		be written.
2495
2496		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2497
2498		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2499		configuration driver.
2500
2501		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2502		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2503
2504		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2505
2506		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2507		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2508		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2509		indicated a CRC error).
2510
2511		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2512
2513		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2514		after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2515		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2516		ms.
2517
2518		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2519
2520		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
2521		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2522
2523		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2524
2525		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2526		200 ms.
2527
2528- Configuration Management:
2529		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2530
2531		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2532		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2533
2534- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2535
2536		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2537		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2538		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2539		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2540		protects these variables from casual modification by
2541		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2542		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2543		change this behaviour:
2544
2545		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2546		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2547		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2548		these parameters.
2549
2550		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2551		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2552		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2553		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2554		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2555		read-only.]
2556
2557		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2558		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2559		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2560		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2561
2562- Protected RAM:
2563		CONFIG_PRAM
2564
2565		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2566		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2567		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2568		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2569		this default value by defining an environment
2570		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2571		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2572		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2573		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2574		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2575		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2576		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2577
2578			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2579			saveenv
2580
2581		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2582		either, which results in a memory region that will
2583		not be affected by reboots.
2584
2585		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2586		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2587		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2588		following board configurations are known to be
2589		"pRAM-clean":
2590
2591			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2592			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2593			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2594
2595- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2596		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2597		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2598		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2599		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2600		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2601		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2602
2603- Error Recovery:
2604		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2605
2606		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2607		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2608		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2609		system where you want the system to reboot
2610		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2611		useful during development since you can try to debug
2612		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2613
2614		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2615
2616		This variable defines the number of retries for
2617		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2618		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2619		default value of 5 is used.
2620
2621		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2622
2623		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2624
2625		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2626
2627		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2628		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2629		try longer timeout such as
2630		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2631
2632- Command Interpreter:
2633		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2634
2635		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2636
2637		Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2638		for the "hush" shell.
2639
2640
2641		CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
2642
2643		Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2644		Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2645		powerful command line syntax like
2646		if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2647		constructs ("shell scripts").
2648
2649		If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2650		with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2651
2652
2653		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2654
2655		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2656		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2657		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2658
2659	Note:
2660
2661		In the current implementation, the local variables
2662		space and global environment variables space are
2663		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2664		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2665		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2666		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2667		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2668
2669		Global environment variables are those you use
2670		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2671		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2672		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2673
2674		To store commands and special characters in a
2675		variable, please use double quotation marks
2676		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2677		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2678		symbols.
2679
2680- Commandline Editing and History:
2681		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2682
2683		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2684		commandline input operations
2685
2686- Default Environment:
2687		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2688
2689		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2690		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2691		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2692
2693		For example, place something like this in your
2694		board's config file:
2695
2696		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2697			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2698			"myvar2=value2\0"
2699
2700		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2701		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2702		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2703		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2704		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2705		You better know what you are doing here.
2706
2707		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2708		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2709		the environment like the "source" command or the
2710		boot command first.
2711
2712		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2713
2714		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2715		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2716		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2717
2718		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2719
2720		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2721		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2722		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2723		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2724		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2725
2726		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2727
2728		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2729		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2730		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2731
2732		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2733
2734		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2735		intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2736		that so that the environment is not available until
2737		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2738		this is instead controlled by the value of
2739		/config/load-environment.
2740
2741- DataFlash Support:
2742		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2743
2744		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2745		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2746		commands cp, md...
2747
2748- Serial Flash support
2749		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2750
2751		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2752		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2753
2754		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2755		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2756		commands.
2757
2758		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2759		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2760		flash is present on the system.
2761
2762		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2763		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2764		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2765		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2766
2767		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2768
2769		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2770		test ('sf test').
2771
2772		CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR		Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2773
2774		Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2775		support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2776
2777		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
2778
2779		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2780		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2781		currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2782
2783- SystemACE Support:
2784		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2785
2786		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2787		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2788		of the chip must also be defined in the
2789		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2790
2791		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2792		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2793
2794		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2795		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2796
2797- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2798		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2799
2800		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2801		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2802		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2803		number generator is used.
2804
2805		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2806		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2807		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2808
2809		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2810		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2811		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2812		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2813		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2814		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2815		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2816
2817- Hashing support:
2818		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2819
2820		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2821		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2822
2823		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2824
2825		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2826		size a little.
2827
2828		CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2829		CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2830
2831		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2832		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2833
2834- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2835		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2836		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2837		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2838
2839		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2840		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2841		a boot from specific media.
2842
2843		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2844		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2845		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2846		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
2847		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2848
2849- Signing support:
2850		CONFIG_RSA
2851
2852		This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2853		in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
2854
2855		The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2856		option.
2857
2858- bootcount support:
2859		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2860
2861		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2862		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2863
2864		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2865		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2866		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2867		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2868		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2869		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2870		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2871		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2872		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2873		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2874			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2875			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2876						    the bootcounter.
2877			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2878
2879- Show boot progress:
2880		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2881
2882		Defining this option allows to add some board-
2883		specific code (calling a user-provided function
2884		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2885		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2886		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2887		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2888
2889- Detailed boot stage timing
2890		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2891		Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2892		of the boot process.
2893
2894		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2895		This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2896		Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2897		a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2898		the limit, recording will stop.
2899
2900		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2901		Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2902
2903		Timer summary in microseconds:
2904		       Mark    Elapsed  Stage
2905			  0          0  reset
2906		  3,575,678  3,575,678  board_init_f start
2907		  3,575,695         17  arch_cpu_init A9
2908		  3,575,777         82  arch_cpu_init done
2909		  3,659,598     83,821  board_init_r start
2910		  3,910,375    250,777  main_loop
2911		 29,916,167 26,005,792  bootm_start
2912		 30,361,327    445,160  start_kernel
2913
2914		CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2915		Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2916		and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2917
2918		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2919		Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2920		node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2921		has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2922		mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2923		accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2924		For example:
2925
2926		bootstage {
2927			154 {
2928				name = "board_init_f";
2929				mark = <3575678>;
2930			};
2931			170 {
2932				name = "lcd";
2933				accum = <33482>;
2934			};
2935		};
2936
2937		Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3093		CONFIG_FIT
3094		Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3095
3096		CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3097		When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3098		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3099		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3100		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3101		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3102
3103		CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3104		This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3105		using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See
3106		doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3107

3109		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3110
3111		This option defines a board specific value for the

3115
3116- Frame Buffer Address:
3117		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3118
3119		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3120		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3121		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3122		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3123		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3124		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3125		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3126		configured panel size.
3127
3128		Please see board_init_f function.
3129
3130- Automatic software updates via TFTP server

3159		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3160		warnings and errors enabled.
3161
3162- UBIFS support
3163		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3164
3165		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3166		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3167
3168		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3169
3170		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3171

3391		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3392		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3393
3394Modem Support:
3395--------------
3396
3397[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3398
3399- Modem support enable:
3400		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3401
3402- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3403		CONFIG_HWFLOW
3404
3405- Modem debug support:
3406		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3407
3408		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3409		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3410
3411- Interrupt support (PPC):
3412
3413		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3414		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3415		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3416		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3417		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3418		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3419		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3420		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3421		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3422		general timer_interrupt().
3423
3424- General:
3425
3426		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3427		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3428		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3429		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3430		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3431		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3432		initialization.
3433
3434		If there are no modem init strings in the
3435		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3436		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3437		suppressed, though.
3438
3439		See also: doc/README.Modem
3440
3441Board initialization settings:
3442------------------------------
3443
3444During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3445to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3446before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3447following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3448architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3449typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3450
3451- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3452- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3453- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3454- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3455
3456Configuration Settings:
3457-----------------------
3458
3459- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3460		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3461
3462- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3463		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3464
3465- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3466		prompt for user input.
3467
3468- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3469
3470- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3471
3472- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3473
3474- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3475		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3476		booted
3477
3478- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3479		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3480
3481- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3482		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3483
3484- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3485		If the board specific function
3486			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3487		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3488		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3489
3490- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3491		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3492
3493- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3494		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3495
3496- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3497		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3498		simple memory test.
3499
3500- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3501		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3502
3503- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3504		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3505		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3506
3507- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3508		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3509		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3510		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3511		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3512		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3513		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3514		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3515		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3516		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3517
3518		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3519		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3520		be touched.
3521
3522		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3523		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3524		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3525		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3526		problems.
3527
3528- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3529		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3530
3531- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3532		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3533
3534- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3535		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3536		Cogent motherboard)
3537
3538- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3539		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3540
3541- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3542		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3543		make config files to be same as the text base address
3544		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3545		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3546
3547- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3548		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3549		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3550		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3551		flash sector.
3552
3553- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3554		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3555
3556- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3557		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3558		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3559		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3560		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3561
3562- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3563		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3564		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3565		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3566		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3567		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3568		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3569		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3570		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3571		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3572		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3573
3574- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3575		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3576		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3577		is enabled.
3578
3579- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3580		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3581		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3582
3583- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3584		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3585		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3586
3587- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3588		Max number of Flash memory banks
3589
3590- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3591		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3592
3593- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3594		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3595
3596- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3597		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3598
3599- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3600		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3601
3602- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3603		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3604
3605- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3606		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3607		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3608
3609- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3610
3611		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3612		without this option such a download has to be
3613		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3614		copy from RAM to flash.
3615
3616		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3617		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3618		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3619		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3620		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3621
3622- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3623		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3624		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3625
3626- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3627		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3628		in the drivers directory
3629
3630- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3631		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3632		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3633		to the MTD layer.
3634
3635- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3636		Use buffered writes to flash.
3637
3638- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3639		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3640		write commands.
3641
3642- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3643		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3644		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3645		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3646		optionally available.
3647
3648- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3649		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3650		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3651		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3652
3653- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3654		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3655		against the source after the write operation. An error message
3656		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3657		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3658		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3659		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3660		this option if you really know what you are doing.
3661
3662- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3663		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3664		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3665		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3666		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3667		on high Ethernet traffic.
3668		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3669
3670- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3671
3672	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3673	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3674	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3675	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3676	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3677
3678- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3679- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3680	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3681	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3682	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3683	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3684
3685	The format of the list is:
3686		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3687		access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
3688		attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
3689		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3690		list = entry[,list]
3691
3692	The type attributes are:
3693		s - String (default)
3694		d - Decimal
3695		x - Hexadecimal
3696		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3697		i - IP address
3698		m - MAC address
3699
3700	The access attributes are:
3701		a - Any (default)
3702		r - Read-only
3703		o - Write-once
3704		c - Change-default
3705
3706	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3707		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3708		envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3709
3710	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3711		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3712		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3713		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
3714		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3715		".flags" variable.
3716
3717- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3718	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3719	access flags.
3720
3721- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3722	This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3723	architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3724	to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3725	arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3726	common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3727	must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3728	its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3729	your board please report the problem and send patches!
3730
3731- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3732	This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3733	instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3734	offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3735	directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3736
3737- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3738	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3739	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3740	the value can be calulated on a given board.
3741
3742The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3743of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3744following configurations:
3745
3746- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3747
3748	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3749	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3750
3751- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3752
3753	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3754
3755	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3756	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3757	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3758	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3759	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3760	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3761	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3762	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3763	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3764	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3765	   between U-Boot and the environment.
3766
3767	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3768
3769	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3770	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3771	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3772	   for this sector is given here.
3773
3774	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3775
3776	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3777
3778	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
3779	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3780	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3781
3782	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3783
3784	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
3785
3786
3787	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3788	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3789	   the environment.
3790
3791	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3792
3793	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3794	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3795	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3796	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3797
3798	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3799	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3800	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3801	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3802	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3803	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
3804	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3805	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3806	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
3807
3808	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3809	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3810
3811	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3812	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3813	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3814	   a "saveenv" operation.
3815
3816BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3817source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3818accordingly!
3819
3820
3821- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3822
3823	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3824	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3825	environment.
3826
3827	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3828	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3829
3830	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3831	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3832	  can just be read and written to, without any special
3833	  provision.
3834
3835BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3836in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3837console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3838U-Boot will hang.
3839
3840Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3841environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3842keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3843to save the current settings.
3844
3845
3846- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3847
3848	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3849	device and a driver for it.
3850
3851	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3852	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3853
3854	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3855	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3856
3857	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3858	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3859	  The default address is zero.
3860
3861	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3862	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3863	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
3864	  would require six bits.
3865
3866	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3867	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3868	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
3869
3870	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3871	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
3872	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
3873
3874	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3875	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3876	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3877	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3878	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3879	  byte chips.
3880
3881	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3882	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3883	  in the chip address.
3884
3885	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3886	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3887
3888	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3889	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3890	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3891
3892	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3893	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3894	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3895	  EEPROM. For example:
3896
3897	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
3898
3899	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3900	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3901
3902- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3903
3904	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3905	want to use for the environment.
3906
3907	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3908	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3909	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3910
3911	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3912	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3913	  at the specified address.
3914
3915- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3916
3917	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3918	want to use for the local device's environment.
3919
3920	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3921	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3922
3923	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3924	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
3925	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
3926	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3927
3928BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3929"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3930environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3931but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3932
3933- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3934
3935	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3936	for the environment.
3937
3938	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3939	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3940
3941	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3942	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3943	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3944
3945	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3946
3947	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3948	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3949	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3950	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
3951	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3952
3953	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3954
3955	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3956	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3957	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3958	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3959	  the range to be avoided.
3960
3961	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3962
3963	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3964	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
3965	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3966	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3967	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3968
3969- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3970
3971	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3972	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3973	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3974
3975- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3976
3977	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3978	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3979	accesses, which is important on NAND.
3980
3981	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3982
3983	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3984
3985	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3986
3987	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3988	  environment in.
3989
3990	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3991
3992	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3993	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3994	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3995
3996	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3997	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3998
3999	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4000	  when storing the env in UBI.
4001
4002- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4003
4004	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4005	environment.
4006
4007	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4008
4009	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4010
4011	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4012
4013	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4014	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4015	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4016
4017	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4018	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4019
4020	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4021	  area within the specified MMC device.
4022
4023	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4024	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4025	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4026	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4027	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4028	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4029	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4030
4031	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4032	  MMC sector boundary.
4033
4034	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4035
4036	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4037	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4038	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4039	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4040
4041	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4042	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4043
4044	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4045	  an MMC sector boundary.
4046
4047	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4048
4049	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4050	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4051	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4052
4053- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4054
4055	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4056	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4057	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4058	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4059	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4060	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4061	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4062
4063Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4064has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4065created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4066until then to read environment variables.
4067
4068The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4069is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4070with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4071necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4072"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4073have any device yet where we could complain.]
4074
4075Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4076the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4077use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4078
4079- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4080		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4081
4082		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4083		      also needs to be defined.
4084
4085- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4086		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4087
4088- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4089		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4090		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4091		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4092		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4093		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4094
4095- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4096		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4097		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4098		to do this.
4099
4100- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4101		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4102		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4103		present.
4104
4105Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4106---------------------------------------------------
4107
4108- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4109		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4110
4111- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4112		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4113
4114		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4115		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4116		the IMMR register after a reset.
4117
4118- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4119		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4120		PowerPC SOCs.
4121
4122- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4123		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4124		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4125
4126		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4127		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4128
4129- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4130		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4131		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4132		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4133		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4134		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4135		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4136
4137		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4138			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4139
4140- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4141		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4142		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4143		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4144		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4145
4146- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4147		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4148		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4149		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4150
4151- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4152		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4153		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4154
4155- Floppy Disk Support:
4156		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4157
4158		the default drive number (default value 0)
4159
4160		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4161
4162		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4163		(default value 1)
4164
4165		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4166
4167		defines the offset of register from address. It
4168		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4169		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4170
4171		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4172		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4173		default value.
4174
4175		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4176		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4177		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4178		source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4179		initializations.
4180
4181- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4182		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4183		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4184		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4185		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4186		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4187		is requierd.
4188
4189- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4190		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4191		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4192
4193- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4194
4195		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4196		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4197		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4198		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4199		will become available only after programming the
4200		memory controller and running certain initialization
4201		sequences.
4202
4203		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4204		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4205		- MPC824X: data cache
4206		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4207
4208- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4209
4210		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4211		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4212		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4213		data is located at the end of the available space
4214		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4215		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4216		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4217		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4218
4219	Note:
4220		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4221		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4222		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4223		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4224		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4225

4259		Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer
4260		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
4261
4262- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4263		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4264		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
4265
4266- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4267		enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4268		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1]
4269
4270- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4271		enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4272		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4273
4274- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
4275		Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4276		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4277		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4278
4279- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4280		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4281		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4282		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
4283		cpm_8260.h.
4284
4285- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
4286  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

4294
4295- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4296		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4297		required.
4298
4299- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4300		Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
4301		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4302		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4303		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4304		by coreboot or similar.
4305
4306- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4307		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4308

4329
4330- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4331		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4332		a 16 bit bus.
4333		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4334		Example of drivers that use it:
4335		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4336		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4337
4338- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG

4344		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4345
4346  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4347		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4348
4349- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM

4352		to something your driver can deal with.
4353
4354- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4355		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4356		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4357		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4358		header files or board specific files.
4359
4360- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4361		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4362
4363- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4364		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4365		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4366
4367- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4368		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4369
4370- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4371		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4372		to the given FEC; i. e.
4373			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4374		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4375
4376		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4377
4378- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4379		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4380		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4381
4382- CONFIG_RMII
4383		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4384		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4385		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4386
4387- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4388		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4389		The syntax is:
4390
4391		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4392
4393		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4394		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4395		area should have.
4396
4397- CONFIG_LOOPW
4398		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4399		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4400
4401- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4402		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4403		"md/mw" commands.
4404		Examples:
4405
4406		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4407		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4408
4409		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4410		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4411
4412		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4413		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4414
4415- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4416		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4417		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4418		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4419		relocate itself into RAM.
4420
4421		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4422		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4423		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4424		these initializations itself.
4425
4426- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4427		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4428		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4429		compiling a NAND SPL.
4430
4431- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4432		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4433		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4434		It is loaded by the SPL.
4435
4436- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4437		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4438		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4439		previous 4k of the .text section.
4440
4441- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4442		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4443		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4444		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4445		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4446		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4447		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4448		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4449
4450- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4451  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4452		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4453		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4454		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4455
4456- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4457		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4458		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4459
4460- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4461		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4462
4463		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4464
4465- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4466		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4467
4468Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4469-----------------------------------
4470
4471The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4472loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4473This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4474are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4475within that device.
4476
4477- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4478	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
4479	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4480	is also specified.
4481
4482- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4483	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4484	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4485	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4486	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4487
4488- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4489	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4490	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4491	virtual address in NOR flash.
4492
4493- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4494	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4495	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4496
4497- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4498	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4499	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4500
4501- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4502	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4503	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4504
4505- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4506	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4507	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4508	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4509	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4510	master's memory space.
4511
4512Building the Software:
4513======================
4514
4515Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4516and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4517all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4518(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4519recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4520which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4521
4522If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4523have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4524you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4525Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4526necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4527
4528	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4529	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
4530
4531Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4532      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4533      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4534      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
4535
4536       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4537
4538      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4539      be executed on computers running Windows.
4540
4541U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4542sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4543is done by typing:
4544
4545	make NAME_config
4546
4547where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4548rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4549
4550Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4551      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4552      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4553      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4554      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4555
4556      make TQM823L_config
4557	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4558
4559      make TQM823L_LCD_config
4560	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4561
4562      etc.
4563
4564
4565Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4566images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4567
4568- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4569- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4570- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4571
4572By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4573in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4574this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4575
45761. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4577
4578	make O=/tmp/build distclean
4579	make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4580	make O=/tmp/build all
4581
45822. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4583
4584	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4585	make distclean
4586	make NAME_config
4587	make all
4588
4589Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4590variable.
4591
4592
4593Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4594for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4595native "make".
4596
4597
4598If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4599to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4600steps:
4601
46021.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4603    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4604    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
46052.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4606    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4607    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46083.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4609    your board
46103.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4611    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46124.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46135.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4614    to be installed on your target system.
46156.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4616    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4617
4618
4619Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4620==============================================================
4621
4622If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4623or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4624provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4625the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4626official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4627
4628But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4629cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4630the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4631just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
4632for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4633select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4634environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4635you can type
4636
4637	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4638
4639or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4640
4641	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4642
4643When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4644U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4645setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4646built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4647<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4648location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4649variable. For example:
4650
4651	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4652	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4653	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4654
4655With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4656log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4657during the whole build process.

4712Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
4713========================================
4714
4715TODO.
4716
4717For now: just type "help <command>".
4718
4719
4720Environment Variables:
4721======================
4722
4723U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4724can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4725
4726Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4727"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4728without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4729environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4730working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4731environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4732
4733Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4734
4735List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4736
4737  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4738
4739  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4740
4741  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4742
4743  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4744
4745  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
4746
4747  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4748		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4749		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4750		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4751		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4752		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4753		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4754		  bootm_mapsize.
4755
4756  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4757		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4758		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4759		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4760		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4761		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4762		  used otherwise.
4763
4764  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4765		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4766		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4767		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4768		  environment variable.
4769
4770  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4771		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4772		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4773
4774  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4775		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4776		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4777		  load any image using TFTP
4778
4779  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4780		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4781		  be automatically started (by internally calling
4782		  "bootm")
4783
4784		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4785		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4786		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4787		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4788		  data.
4789
4790  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4791		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4792		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4793		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4794		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4795		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4796		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4797		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4798		  access it during the boot procedure.
4799
4800		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4801		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
4802		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4803		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4804		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4805		  must be accessible by the kernel.
4806
4807  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4808		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4809		  defined.
4810
4811  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4812		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4813		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4814		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4815		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
4816
4817  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
4818		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4819		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4820		  is usually what you want since it allows for
4821		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4822		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4823		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4824		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4825		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4826		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4827		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4828
4829		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4830		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4831		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4832		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4833		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4834		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
4835
4836		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4837
4838		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4839		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4840		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4841		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4842		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4843		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
4844		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4845
4846  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4847
4848  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4849		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4850
4851  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4852
4853  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4854
4855  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4856
4857  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4858
4859  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4860
4861  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
4862
4863  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
4864		  For example you can do the following
4865
4866		  => setenv ethact FEC
4867		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4868		  => setenv ethact SCC
4869		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4870
4871  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4872		  available network interfaces.
4873		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4874
4875  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
4876		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
4877		  When set to "once" the network operation will
4878		  fail when all the available network interfaces
4879		  are tried once without success.
4880		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4881		  themselves.
4882
4883  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
4884
4885  silent_linux  - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4886		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4887		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4888		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4889		  is silent.
4890
4891  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4892		  UDP source port.
4893
4894  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4895		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4896
4897  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4898		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
4899
4900  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4901		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4902		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4903		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4904		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4905		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4906		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
4907
4908  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4909		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4910		  VLAN tagged frames.
4911
4912The following image location variables contain the location of images
4913used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4914not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4915variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4916server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4917loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4918flash or offset in NAND flash.
4919
4920*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4921boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4922boards use these variables for other purposes.
4923
4924Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
4925-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
4926u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
4927Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
4928device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
4929ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
4930
4931The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4932updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4933depending the information provided by your boot server:
4934
4935  bootfile	- see above
4936  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
4937  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4938  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4939  hostname	- Target hostname
4940  ipaddr	- see above
4941  netmask	- Subnet Mask
4942  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4943  serverip	- see above
4944
4945
4946There are two special Environment Variables:
4947
4948  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
4949		  as type string and/or serial number
4950  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
4951
4952These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4953the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4954once they have been set once.
4955
4956
4957Further special Environment Variables:
4958
4959  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4960		  with the "version" command. This variable is
4961		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4962
4963
4964Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4965only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4966
4967
4968Callback functions for environment variables:
4969---------------------------------------------
4970
4971For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4972when their values are changed.  This functionailty allows functions to
4973be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
4974deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4975effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4976
4977The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4978U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4979
4980These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
4981static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4982in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4983associations.  The list must be in the following format:
4984
4985	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4986	list = entry[,list]
4987
4988If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4989Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4990
4991Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4992with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
4993override any association in the static list. You can define
4994CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4995".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4996
4997
4998Command Line Parsing:
4999=====================
5000
5001There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5002the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5003
5004Old, simple command line parser:
5005--------------------------------
5006
5007- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5008- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5009- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5010- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5011  for example:
5012	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5013- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5014	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5015
5016Hush shell:
5017-----------
5018
5019- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5020  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5021  until...do...done, ...
5022- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5023  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5024  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5025  command
5026
5027General rules:
5028--------------
5029
5030(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5031    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5032    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5033    executed anyway.
5034
5035(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5036    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5037    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5038    variables are not executed.
5039
5040Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5041=======================================
5042
5043Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5044such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5045"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5046
5047Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5048MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5049"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5050
5051If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5052in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5053ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5054variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5055
5056o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5057  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5058
5059o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5060  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5061  used.
5062
5063o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5064  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5065
5066o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5067  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5068  warning is printed.
5069
5070o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5071  is raised.
5072
5073If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5074will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5075may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5076The naming convention is as follows:
5077"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5078
5079Image Formats:
5080==============
5081
5082U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5083images in two formats:
5084
5085New uImage format (FIT)
5086-----------------------
5087
5088Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5089to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5090components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5091SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5092
5093
5094Old uImage format
5095-----------------
5096
5097Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5098preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5099details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5100
5101* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5102  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5103  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5104  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5105  INTEGRITY).
5106* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5107  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5108  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5109* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5110* Load Address
5111* Entry Point
5112* Image Name
5113* Image Timestamp
5114
5115The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5116and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5117CRC32 checksums.
5118
5119
5120Linux Support:
5121==============
5122
5123Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5124easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5125U-Boot.
5126
5127U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5128special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5129"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5130instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5131serves several purposes:
5132
5133- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5134  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5135  Flash memory footprint)
5136
5137- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5138  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5139
5140- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5141  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5142  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5143  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5144  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5145  software is easier now.
5146
5147
5148Linux HOWTO:
5149============
5150
5151Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5152---------------------------------------
5153
5154U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5155configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5156(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5157Linux :-).
5158
5159But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5160
5161Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5162include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5163Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5164and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5165as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5166
5167
5168Configuring the Linux kernel:
5169-----------------------------
5170
5171No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5172device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5173
5174
5175Building a Linux Image:
5176-----------------------
5177
5178With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5179not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5180"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5181U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5182which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5183100% compatible format.
5184
5185Example:
5186
5187	make TQM850L_config
5188	make oldconfig
5189	make dep
5190	make uImage
5191
5192The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5193encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5194CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5195
5196* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5197
5198* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5199
5200	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5201				 -R .note -R .comment \
5202				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5203
5204* compress the binary image:
5205
5206	gzip -9 linux.bin
5207
5208* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5209
5210	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5211		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5212		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5213
5214
5215The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5216with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5217combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5218byte header containing information about target architecture,
5219operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5220stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5221
5222"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5223print the header information, or to build new images.
5224
5225In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5226contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5227checksum verification:
5228
5229	tools/mkimage -l image
5230	  -l ==> list image header information
5231
5232The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5233from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5234
5235	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5236		      -n name -d data_file image
5237	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5238	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5239	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5240	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5241	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5242	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5243	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5244	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5245
5246Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5247address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5248kernel version:
5249
5250- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5251- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5252
5253So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5254
5255	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5256	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5257	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5258	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5259	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5260	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5261	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5262	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5263	Load Address: 0x00000000
5264	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5265
5266To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5267
5268	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5269	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5270	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5271	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5272	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5273	Load Address: 0x00000000
5274	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5275
5276NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5277speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5278needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5279need to be uncompressed:
5280
5281	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5282	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5283	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5284	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5285	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5286	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5287	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5288	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5289	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5290	Load Address: 0x00000000
5291	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5292
5293
5294Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5295when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5296
5297	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5298	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5299	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5300	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5301	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5302	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5303	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5304	Load Address: 0x00000000
5305	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5306
5307The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5308option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5309option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5310from the image:
5311
5312	tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5313	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5314	   indexed by 'position'
5315
5316
5317Installing a Linux Image:
5318-------------------------
5319
5320To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5321you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5322
5323	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5324
5325The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5326image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5327address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5328specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5329command.
5330
5331Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5332TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5333
5334	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5335
5336	.......... done
5337	Erased 8 sectors
5338
5339	=> loads 40100000
5340	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5341	~>examples/image.srec
5342	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5343	...
5344	15989 15990 15991 15992
5345	[file transfer complete]
5346	[connected]
5347	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5348
5349
5350You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5351this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5352corruption happened:
5353
5354	=> imi 40100000
5355
5356	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5357	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
5358	   Image Type:	 PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5359	   Data Size:	 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
5360	   Load Address: 00000000
5361	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
5362	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
5363
5364
5365Boot Linux:
5366-----------
5367
5368The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5369memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5370of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5371parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5372"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5373
5374
5375	=> printenv bootargs
5376	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5377
5378	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

5497More About U-Boot Image Types:
5498------------------------------
5499
5500U-Boot supports the following image types:
5501
5502   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5503	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5504	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5505	the Standalone Program.
5506   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5507	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5508	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5509	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5510	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5511   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5512	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5513	being started.
5514   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5515	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5516	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5517	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5518	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5519	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5520
5521	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5522	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5523	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5524	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5525	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5526	a multiple of 4 bytes).
5527
5528   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5529	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5530	flash memory.
5531
5532   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5533	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5534	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5535	as command interpreter.
5536
5537Booting the Linux zImage:
5538-------------------------
5539
5540On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5541using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5542as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5543
5544Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5545kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5546address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5547format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5548
5549
5550Standalone HOWTO:
5551=================
5552
5553One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5554run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5555U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5556
5557Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5558
5559"Hello World" Demo:
5560-------------------
5561
5562'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5563application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5564It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5565like that:
5566
5567	=> loads
5568	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5569	~>examples/hello_world.srec
5570	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5571	[file transfer complete]
5572	[connected]
5573	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5574
5575	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5576	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5577	Hello World
5578	argc = 7
5579	argv[0] = "40004"
5580	argv[1] = "Hello"
5581	argv[2] = "World!"
5582	argv[3] = "This"
5583	argv[4] = "is"
5584	argv[5] = "a"
5585	argv[6] = "test."
5586	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5587	Hit any key to exit ...
5588
5589	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5590
5591Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5592handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5593Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5594The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5595character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5596controlled by the following keys:
5597
5598	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5599	b - enable interrupts and start timer
5600	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5601	q - quit application
5602
5603	=> loads

5638Minicom warning:
5639================
5640
5641Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5642"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5643consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5644Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5645especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5646use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
5647http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5648for help with kermit.
5649
5650
5651Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5652configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5653
5654	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5655	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N
5656	Y  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r	 N    D	   Y	   N	  N

5659NetBSD Notes:
5660=============
5661
5662Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5663(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5664
5665Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5666NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5667need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5668Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5669attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5670missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5671
5672	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5673	# mkdir powerpc
5674	# ln -s powerpc machine
5675	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5676	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5677
5678Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5679and U-Boot include files.
5680
5681Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5682stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5683proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5684tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5685meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5686
5687
5688Implementation Internals:
5689=========================
5690
5691The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5692implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5693inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5694hardware.
5695
5696
5697Initial Stack, Global Data:
5698---------------------------
5699
5700The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5701starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5702system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5703This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5704is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5705at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5706options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5707models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5708MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5709locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5710
5711	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5712	U-Boot mailing list:
5713
5714	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5715	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5716	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5717	...
5718
5719	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5720	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5721	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5722	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5723	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5724	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5725	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5726	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5727
5728	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5729	is another option for the system designer to use as an
5730	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5731	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5732	board designers haven't used it for something that would
5733	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5734	used.
5735
5736	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5737	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5738	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5739	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5740	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5741	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5742	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5743	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5744	you get the config right.

5748
5749It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5750code for the initialization procedures:
5751
5752* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5753  to write it.
5754
5755* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
5756  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5757  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5758
5759* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5760  that.
5761
5762Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5763normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5764turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5765simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5766functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5767functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5768the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5769place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5770reserve for this purpose.
5771
5772When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5773relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
5774GCC's implementation.
5775
5776For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5777	R1:	stack pointer
5778	R2:	reserved for system use
5779	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
5780	R5-R10: parameter passing
5781	R13:	small data area pointer
5782	R30:	GOT pointer
5783	R31:	frame pointer
5784
5785	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5786	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5787	going back and forth between asm and C)
5788
5789    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5790
5791    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5792    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5793    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5794    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5795    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5796    624 text + 127 data).
5797
5798On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
5799	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
5800
5801    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
5802
5803On ARM, the following registers are used:
5804
5805	R0:	function argument word/integer result
5806	R1-R3:	function argument word
5807	R9:	platform specific
5808	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5809	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
5810	R12:	temporary workspace
5811	R13:	stack pointer
5812	R14:	link register
5813	R15:	program counter
5814
5815    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5816
5817    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
5818
5819On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5820	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5821
5822    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data

5824    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5825    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5826
5827On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5828
5829	R0-R1:	argument/return
5830	R2-R5:	argument
5831	R15:	temporary register for assembler
5832	R16:	trampoline register
5833	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
5834	R29:	global pointer (GP)
5835	R30:	link register (LP)
5836	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
5837	PC:	program counter (PC)
5838
5839    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5840
5841NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5842or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5843
5844Memory Management:
5845------------------
5846
5847U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5848MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5849
5850The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5851controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5852memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5853physical memory banks.
5854
5855U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5856TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5857booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5858to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5859memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5860configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5861Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5862
5863Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5864of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5865
5866So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5867this:
5868
5869	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
5870	      :
5871	0x0000 1FFF
5872	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
5873	      :
5874	      :
5875
5876	      :
5877	      :
5878	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5879	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5880	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
5881	      :
5882	0x00FD FFFF
5883	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5884	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5885	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5886	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
5887
5888
5889System Initialization:
5890----------------------
5891
5892In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5893(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5894configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5895To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5896To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5897initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5898which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5899part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5900the caches and the SIU.
5901
5902Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5903preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5904(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5905on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5906programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5907simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5908banks.
5909
5910When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5911different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5912bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59130x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5914contiguous memory starting from 0.
5915
5916Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5917and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5918Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5919pages, and the final stack is set up.
5920
5921Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5922until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5923running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5924new address in RAM.

6001Coding Standards:
6002-----------------
6003
6004All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6005coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6006"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6007
6008Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6009MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6010reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6011sources.
6012
6013Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6014Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6015in your code.
6016
6017Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6018- remove any trailing white space
6019- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6020- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6021- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6022- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6023
6024Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6025with a request to reformat the changes.
6026
6027
6028Submitting Patches:
6029-------------------
6030
6031Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6032establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6033may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6034
6035Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6036
6037Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6038see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6039
6040When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6041it:
6042
6043* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6044  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6045  patch actually fixes something.
6046
6047* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6048  implementation.
6049
6050* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6051
6052* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6053
6054* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6055  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6056
6057* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6058  document these in the README file.
6059
6060* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6061  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6062  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6063  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6064  with some other mail clients.
6065
6066  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6067  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6068  GNU diff.
6069
6070  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6071  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6072  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6073  affected files).
6074
6075  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6076  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6077
6078* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6079  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6080
6081* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6082  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6083
6084
6085Notes:
6086
6087* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6088  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6089  for any of the boards.
6090
6091* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6092  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6093  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6094
6095* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6096  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6097  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6098  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6099  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6100  modification.
6101
6102* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6103  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6104  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6105  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
