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

Regular releases are identified by 137names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 138Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 139releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 140 141Examples: 142 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 143 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 144 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 145 146 147Directory Hierarchy: 148==================== 149 150/arch Architecture specific files 151 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 152 /cpu CPU specific files 153 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 154 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 155 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 156 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 157 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 158 /arm925t Files specific to ARM 925 CPUs 159 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 160 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 161 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 162 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 163 /s3c44b0 Files specific to Samsung S3C44B0 CPUs 164 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 165 /lib Architecture specific library files 166 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 167 /cpu CPU specific files 168 /lib Architecture specific library files 169 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 170 /cpu CPU specific files 171 /lib Architecture specific library files 172 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 173 /cpu CPU specific files 174 /lib Architecture specific library files 175 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 176 /cpu CPU specific files 177 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 178 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 179 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 180 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 181 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 182 /lib Architecture specific library files 183 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 184 /cpu CPU specific files 185 /lib Architecture specific library files 186 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 187 /cpu CPU specific files 188 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 189 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 190 /lib Architecture specific library files 191 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 192 /cpu CPU specific files 193 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 194 /lib Architecture specific library files 195 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 196 /cpu CPU specific files 197 /lib Architecture specific library files 198 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 199 /cpu CPU specific files 200 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 201 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 202 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 203 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 204 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 205 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 206 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 207 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 208 /lib Architecture specific library files 209 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 210 /cpu CPU specific files 211 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 212 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 213 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 214 /lib Architecture specific library files 215 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 216 /cpu CPU specific files 217 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 218 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 219 /lib Architecture specific library files 220/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 221/board Board dependent files 222/common Misc architecture independent functions 223/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 224/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 225/drivers Commonly used device drivers 226/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 227/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 228/include Header Files 229/lib Files generic to all architectures 230 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 231 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 232 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 233/net Networking code 234/post Power On Self Test 235/rtc Real Time Clock drivers 236/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 237 238Software Configuration: 239======================= 240 241Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 242rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 243 244There are two classes of configuration variables: 245 246* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 247 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 248 "CONFIG_". 249 250* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 251 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 252 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 253 "CONFIG_SYS_". 254 255Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 256identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 257do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 258links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 259as an example here. 260 261 262Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 263--------------------------------------------------- 264 265For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 266configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 267 268Example: For a TQM823L module type: 269 270 cd u-boot 271 make TQM823L_config 272 273For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 274e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 275directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 276 277 278Configuration Options: 279---------------------- 280 281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 282such information is kept in a configuration file 283"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 284 285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 286"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 287 288 289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 291build a config tool - later. 292 293 294The following options need to be configured: 295 296- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 297 298- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 299 300- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 301 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 302 303- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 304 Define exactly one of 305 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 306--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 307 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 308 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 309 310- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 311 Define exactly one of 312 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 313 314- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 315 Define one or more of 316 CONFIG_CMA302 317 318- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 319 Define one or more of 320 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 321 the LCD display every second with 322 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 323 324- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 325 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 326 Possible values are: 327 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 328 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 329 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 330 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 331 332- Marvell Family Member 333 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 334 multiple fs option at one time 335 for marvell soc family 336 337- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 338 Define exactly one of 339 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 340 341- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 342 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 343 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 344 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 345 reference PIT/RTC clock 346 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 347 or XTAL/EXTAL) 348 349- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 350 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 351 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 352 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 353 See doc/README.MPC866 354 355 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 356 357 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 358 of relying on the correctness of the configured 359 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 360 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 361 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 362 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 363 364 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 365 366 Define this option if you want to enable the 367 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 368 369- 85xx CPU Options: 370 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 371 372 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 373 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 374 compliance, among other possible reasons. 375 376 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 377 378 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 379 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 380 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 381 382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 383 384 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 385 tree nodes for the given platform. 386 387 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 388 389 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 390 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 391 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 392 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 393 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 394 purpose. 395 396 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 397 398 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 399 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 400 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 401 402 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 403 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 404 405 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 406 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 407 408 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 409 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 410 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 411 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 412 413 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 414 this erratum. 415 416 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 417 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 418 requred during NOR boot. 419 420 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 421 422 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 423 according to the A004510 workaround. 424 425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 426 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 427 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 428 429 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 430 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 431 432- Generic CPU options: 433 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 434 435 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 436 values is arch specific. 437 438- Intel Monahans options: 439 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 440 441 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 442 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 443 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 444 445 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 446 447 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 448 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 449 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 450 by this value. 451 452- MIPS CPU options: 453 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 454 455 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 456 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 457 relocation. 458 459 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 460 461 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 462 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 463 Possible values are: 464 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 465 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 466 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 467 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 468 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 469 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 470 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 471 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 472 473 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 474 475 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 476 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 477 478 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 479 480 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 481 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 482 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 483 484- ARM options: 485 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 486 487 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 488 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 489 490 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 491 492 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 493 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 494 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 495 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 496 GCC. 497 498 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 499 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 500 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 501 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 502 503 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 504 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 505 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 506 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 507 set these options unless they apply! 508 509- CPU timer options: 510 CONFIG_SYS_HZ 511 512 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). 513 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG 514 option must be set to 1000. 515 516- Linux Kernel Interface: 517 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 518 519 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 520 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 521 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 522 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 523 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 524 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 525 Linux kernel. 526 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 527 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 528 default environment. 529 530 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 531 532 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 533 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 534 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 535 536 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 537 538 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 539 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 540 concepts). 541 542 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 543 * New libfdt-based support 544 * Adds the "fdt" command 545 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 546 547 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 548 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 549 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 550 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 551 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 552 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 553 554 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 555 addresses 556 557 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 558 559 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 560 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 561 562 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 563 564 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 565 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 566 567 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 568 569 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 570 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 571 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 572 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 573 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 574 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 575 576 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 577 578 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 579 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 580 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 581 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 582 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 583 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 584 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 585 586- vxWorks boot parameters: 587 588 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 589 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 590 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 591 592 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 593 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 594 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 595 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 596 597 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 598 599 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 600 601 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 602 the defaults discussed just above. 603 604- Cache Configuration: 605 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 606 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 607 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 608 609- Cache Configuration for ARM: 610 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 611 controller 612 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 613 controller register space 614 615- Serial Ports: 616 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 617 618 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 619 620 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 621 622 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 623 624 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 625 626 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 627 the clock speed of the UARTs. 628 629 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 630 631 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 632 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 633 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 634 635 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 636 637 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 638 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 639 this variable to initialize the extra register. 640 641 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 642 643 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 644 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 645 variable to flush the UART at init time. 646 647 648- Console Interface: 649 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 650 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 651 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 652 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 653 654 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 655 port routines must be defined elsewhere 656 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 657 658 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 659 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 660 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 661 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 662 (default big endian) 663 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 664 rectangle fill 665 (cf. smiLynxEM) 666 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 667 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 668 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 669 (cols=pitch) 670 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 671 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 672 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 673 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 674 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 675 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 676 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 677 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 678 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 679 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 680 (i.e. i8042_getc) 681 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 682 (requires blink timer 683 cf. i8042.c) 684 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 685 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 686 upper right corner 687 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 688 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 689 upper left corner 690 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 691 linux_logo.h for logo. 692 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 693 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 694 additional board info beside 695 the logo 696 697 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 698 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 699 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 700 701 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 702 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 703 environment 'console=serial'. 704 705 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 706 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 707 the "silent" environment variable. See 708 doc/README.silent for more information. 709 710- Console Baudrate: 711 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 712 Select one of the baudrates listed in 713 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 714 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 715 716- Console Rx buffer length 717 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 718 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 719 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 720 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 721 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 722 the SMC. 723 724- Pre-Console Buffer: 725 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 726 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 727 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 728 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 729 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 730 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 731 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 732 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 733 earlier bytes are discarded. 734 735 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 736 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 737 738- Safe printf() functions 739 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 740 the printf() functions. These are defined in 741 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 742 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 743 If this option is not given then these functions will 744 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 745 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 746 747- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 748 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 749 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 750 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 751 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 752 753 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 754 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 755 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 756 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 759 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 761 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 762 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 763 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 764 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 765 766- Autoboot Command: 767 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 768 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 769 define a command string that is automatically executed 770 when no character is read on the console interface 771 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 772 773 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 774 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 775 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 776 environment value "bootargs". 777 778 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 779 The value of these goes into the environment as 780 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 781 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 782 RAM and NFS. 783 784- Pre-Boot Commands: 785 CONFIG_PREBOOT 786 787 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 788 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 789 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 790 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 791 entering interactive mode. 792 793 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 794 automatically generated or modified. For an example 795 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 796 modified when the user holds down a certain 797 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 798 booting the systems 799 800- Serial Download Echo Mode: 801 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 802 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 803 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 804 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 805 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 806 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 807 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 808 809- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 810 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 811 Select one of the baudrates listed in 812 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 813 814- Monitor Functions: 815 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 816 from the build by using the #include files 817 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 818 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 819 and augmenting with additional #define's 820 for wanted commands. 821 822 The default command configuration

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

CONFIG_FIT 2789 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 2790 2791 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 2792 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 2793 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 2794 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 2795 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 2796 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 2797 2798- Standalone program support: 2799 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2800 2801 This option defines a board specific value for the 2802 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2803 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2804 settings. 2805 2806- Frame Buffer Address: 2807 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2808 2809 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2810 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 2811 when using a graphics controller has separate video 2812 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 2813 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 2814 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 2815 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 2816 configured panel size. 2817 2818 Please see board_init_f function. 2819 2820- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2821 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2822 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2823 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2824 2825 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2826 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2827 2828- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2829 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2830 2831 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2832 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2833 2834 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2835 2836 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2837 kernel.

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

Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 3972 by coreboot or similar. 3973 3974- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 3975 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 3976 3977- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 3978 Chip has SRIO or not 3979 3980- CONFIG_SRIO1: 3981 Board has SRIO 1 port available 3982 3983- CONFIG_SRIO2: 3984 Board has SRIO 2 port available 3985 3986- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 3987 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 3988 3989- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 3990 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3991 3992- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 3993 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3994 3995- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 3996 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3997 3998- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 3999 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4000 a 16 bit bus. 4001 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4002 Example of drivers that use it: 4003 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4004 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4005 4006- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4007 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4008 a default value will be used. 4009 4010- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4011 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4012 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4013 4014 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4015 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4016 4017- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4018 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4019 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4020 to something your driver can deal with. 4021 4022- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4023 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4024 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4025 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4026 header files or board specific files. 4027 4028- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4029 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4030 4031- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4032 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4033 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4034 4035- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4036 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4037 4038- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4039 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4040 to the given FEC; i. e. 4041 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4042 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4043 4044 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4045 4046- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4047 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4048 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4049 4050- CONFIG_RMII 4051 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4052 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4053 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4054 4055- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4056 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4057 The syntax is: 4058 4059 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4060 4061 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4062 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4063 area should have. 4064 4065- CONFIG_LOOPW 4066 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4067 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4068 4069- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4070 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4071 "md/mw" commands. 4072 Examples: 4073 4074 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4075 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4076 4077 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4078 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4079 4080 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4081 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4082 4083- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4084 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4085 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4086 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4087 relocate itself into RAM. 4088 4089 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4090 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4091 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4092 these initializations itself. 4093 4094- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4095 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4096 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4097 compiling a NAND SPL. 4098 4099- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4100 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4101 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4102 previous 4k of the .text section. 4103 4104- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4105 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4106 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4107 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4108 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4109 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4110 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4111 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4112 4113- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4114 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4115 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4116 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4117 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4118 4119- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4120 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4121 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4122 4123- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4124 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4125 4126 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4127 4128Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4129----------------------------------- 4130 4131The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4132loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4133This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4134are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4135within that device. 4136 4137- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 4138 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 4139 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4140 is also specified. 4141 4142- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 4143 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4144 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4145 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4146 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4147 4148- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 4149 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4150 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 4151 virtual address in NOR flash. 4152 4153- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 4154 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 4155 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 4156 4157- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4158 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4159 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4160 4161- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4162 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4163 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4164 4165- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4166 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4167 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4168 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4169 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4170 master's memory space. 4171 4172Building the Software: 4173====================== 4174 4175Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4176and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4177all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4178(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4179recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4180which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4181 4182If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4183have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4184you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4185Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4186necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4187 4188 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4189 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4190 4191Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4192 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4193 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4194 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4195 4196 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4197 4198 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4199 be executed on computers running Windows. 4200 4201U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4202sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4203is done by typing: 4204 4205 make NAME_config 4206 4207where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4208rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4209 4210Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4211 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4212 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4213 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4214 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4215 4216 make TQM823L_config 4217 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4218 4219 make TQM823L_LCD_config 4220 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4221 4222 etc. 4223 4224 4225Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4226images ready for download to / installation on your system: 4227 4228- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 4229- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 4230- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 4231 4232By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 4233in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 4234this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 4235 42361. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 4237 4238 make O=/tmp/build distclean 4239 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 4240 make O=/tmp/build all 4241 42422. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 4243 4244 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4245 make distclean 4246 make NAME_config 4247 make all 4248 4249Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 4250variable. 4251 4252 4253Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 4254for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 4255native "make". 4256 4257 4258If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 4259to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 4260steps: 4261 42621. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 4263 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 4264 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 42652. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 4266 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 4267 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 42683. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 4269 your board 42703. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 4271 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 42724. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 42735. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 4274 to be installed on your target system. 42756. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 4276 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 4277 4278 4279Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 4280============================================================== 4281 4282If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 4283or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 4284provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 4285the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 4286official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 4287 4288But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 4289cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 4290the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 4291just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 4292for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 4293select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 4294environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 4295you can type 4296 4297 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4298 4299or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 4300 4301 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 4302 4303When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 4304U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 4305setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 4306built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 4307<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 4308location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 4309variable. For example: 4310 4311 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4312 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 4313 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4314 4315With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 4316log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 4317during the whole build process. 4318 4319 4320See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 4321 4322 4323Monitor Commands - Overview: 4324============================ 4325 4326go - start application at address 'addr' 4327run - run commands in an environment variable 4328bootm - boot application image from memory 4329bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 4330bootz - boot zImage from memory 4331tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 4332 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 4333 (and eventually "gatewayip") 4334tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 4335rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 4336diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 4337loads - load S-Record file over serial line 4338loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 4339md - memory display 4340mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 4341nm - memory modify (constant address) 4342mw - memory write (fill) 4343cp - memory copy 4344cmp - memory compare 4345crc32 - checksum calculation 4346i2c - I2C sub-system 4347sspi - SPI utility commands 4348base - print or set address offset 4349printenv- print environment variables 4350setenv - set environment variables 4351saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 4352protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 4353erase - erase FLASH memory 4354flinfo - print FLASH memory information 4355nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 4356bdinfo - print Board Info structure 4357iminfo - print header information for application image 4358coninfo - print console devices and informations 4359ide - IDE sub-system 4360loop - infinite loop on address range 4361loopw - infinite write loop on address range 4362mtest - simple RAM test 4363icache - enable or disable instruction cache 4364dcache - enable or disable data cache 4365reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 4366echo - echo args to console 4367version - print monitor version 4368help - print online help 4369? - alias for 'help' 4370 4371 4372Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 4373======================================== 4374 4375TODO. 4376 4377For now: just type "help <command>". 4378 4379 4380Environment Variables: 4381====================== 4382 4383U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 4384can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 4385 4386Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 4387"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 4388without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 4389environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 4390working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 4391environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 4392 4393Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 4394 4395List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 4396 4397 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 4398 4399 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 4400 4401 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 4402 4403 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 4404 4405 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 4406 4407 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4408 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4409 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 4410 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 4411 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 4412 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 4413 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 4414 bootm_mapsize. 4415 4416 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 4417 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 4418 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 4419 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 4420 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 4421 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 4422 used otherwise. 4423 4424 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4425 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4426 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 4427 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 4428 environment variable. 4429 4430 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 4431 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 4432 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 4433 4434 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 4435 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 4436 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 4437 load any image using TFTP 4438 4439 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 4440 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 4441 be automatically started (by internally calling 4442 "bootm") 4443 4444 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 4445 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 4446 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 4447 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 4448 data. 4449 4450 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 4451 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 4452 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 4453 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 4454 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 4455 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 4456 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 4457 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 4458 access it during the boot procedure. 4459 4460 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 4461 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 4462 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 4463 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 4464 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 4465 must be accessible by the kernel. 4466 4467 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 4468 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 4469 defined. 4470 4471 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 4472 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 4473 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 4474 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 4475 it must be saved and board must be reset. 4476 4477 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 4478 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 4479 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 4480 is usually what you want since it allows for 4481 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 4482 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 4483 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 4484 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 4485 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 4486 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 4487 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 4488 4489 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 4490 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 4491 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 4492 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 4493 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 4494 12 MB as well - this can be done with 4495 4496 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 4497 4498 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 4499 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 4500 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 4501 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 4502 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 4503 boot time on your system, but requires that this 4504 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 4505 4506 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4507 4508 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 4509 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 4510 4511 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 4512 4513 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4514 4515 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 4516 4517 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 4518 4519 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 4520 4521 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 4522 4523 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 4524 For example you can do the following 4525 4526 => setenv ethact FEC 4527 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 4528 => setenv ethact SCC 4529 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 4530 4531 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 4532 available network interfaces. 4533 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 4534 4535 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 4536 either succeed or fail without retrying. 4537 When set to "once" the network operation will 4538 fail when all the available network interfaces 4539 are tried once without success. 4540 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 4541 themselves. 4542 4543 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 4544 4545 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 4546 UDP source port. 4547 4548 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 4549 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 4550 4551 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 4552 we use the TFTP server's default block size 4553 4554 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 4555 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 4556 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 4557 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 4558 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 4559 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 4560 with unreliable TFTP servers. 4561 4562 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 4563 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 4564 VLAN tagged frames. 4565 4566The following image location variables contain the location of images 4567used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 4568not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 4569variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 4570server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 4571loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 4572flash or offset in NAND flash. 4573 4574*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 4575boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 4576boards use these variables for other purposes. 4577 4578Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4579----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4580u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4581Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4582device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4583ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4584 4585The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4586updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4587depending the information provided by your boot server: 4588 4589 bootfile - see above 4590 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4591 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4592 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4593 hostname - Target hostname 4594 ipaddr - see above 4595 netmask - Subnet Mask 4596 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4597 serverip - see above 4598 4599 4600There are two special Environment Variables: 4601 4602 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4603 as type string and/or serial number 4604 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4605 4606These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4607the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4608once they have been set once. 4609 4610 4611Further special Environment Variables: 4612 4613 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4614 with the "version" command. This variable is 4615 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4616 4617 4618Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4619only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4620 4621 4622Callback functions for environment variables: 4623--------------------------------------------- 4624 4625For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 4626when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 4627be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 4628deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 4629effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 4630 4631The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 4632U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 4633 4634These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 4635static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 4636in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 4637associations. The list must be in the following format: 4638 4639 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 4640 list = entry[,list] 4641 4642If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 4643Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 4644 4645Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 4646with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 4647override any association in the static list. You can define 4648CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 4649".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4650 4651 4652Command Line Parsing: 4653===================== 4654 4655There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4656the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4657 4658Old, simple command line parser: 4659-------------------------------- 4660 4661- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4662- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4663- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4664- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4665 for example: 4666 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4667- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4668 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4669 4670Hush shell: 4671----------- 4672 4673- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4674 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4675 until...do...done, ... 4676- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4677 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4678 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4679 command 4680 4681General rules: 4682-------------- 4683 4684(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4685 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4686 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4687 executed anyway. 4688 4689(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4690 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4691 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4692 variables are not executed. 4693 4694Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4695======================================= 4696 4697Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4698such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4699"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4700 4701Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4702MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4703"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4704 4705If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4706in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4707ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4708variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4709 4710o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4711 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4712 4713o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4714 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4715 used. 4716 4717o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4718 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4719 4720o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4721 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4722 warning is printed. 4723 4724o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4725 is raised. 4726 4727If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4728will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4729may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4730The naming convention is as follows: 4731"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4732 4733Image Formats: 4734============== 4735 4736U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4737images in two formats: 4738 4739New uImage format (FIT) 4740----------------------- 4741 4742Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4743to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4744components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4745SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4746 4747 4748Old uImage format 4749----------------- 4750 4751Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4752preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4753details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4754 4755* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4756 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4757 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4758 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4759 INTEGRITY). 4760* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4761 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4762 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4763* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4764* Load Address 4765* Entry Point 4766* Image Name 4767* Image Timestamp 4768 4769The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4770and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4771CRC32 checksums. 4772 4773 4774Linux Support: 4775============== 4776 4777Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4778easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4779U-Boot. 4780 4781U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4782special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4783"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4784instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4785serves several purposes: 4786 4787- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4788 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4789 Flash memory footprint) 4790 4791- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4792 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4793 4794- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4795 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4796 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 4797 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 4798 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 4799 software is easier now. 4800 4801 4802Linux HOWTO: 4803============ 4804 4805Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 4806--------------------------------------- 4807 4808U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 4809configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 4810(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 4811Linux :-). 4812 4813But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 4814 4815Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 4816include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 4817Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 4818and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 4819as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 4820 4821 4822Configuring the Linux kernel: 4823----------------------------- 4824 4825No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 4826device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 4827 4828 4829Building a Linux Image: 4830----------------------- 4831 4832With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 4833not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 4834"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 4835U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 4836which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 4837100% compatible format. 4838 4839Example: 4840 4841 make TQM850L_config 4842 make oldconfig 4843 make dep 4844 make uImage 4845 4846The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 4847encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 4848CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 4849 4850* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 4851 4852* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 4853 4854 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 4855 -R .note -R .comment \ 4856 -S vmlinux linux.bin 4857 4858* compress the binary image: 4859 4860 gzip -9 linux.bin 4861 4862* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 4863 4864 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 4865 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 4866 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 4867 4868 4869The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 4870with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 4871combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 4872byte header containing information about target architecture, 4873operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 4874stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 4875 4876"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 4877print the header information, or to build new images. 4878 4879In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 4880contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 4881checksum verification: 4882 4883 tools/mkimage -l image 4884 -l ==> list image header information 4885 4886The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 4887from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 4888 4889 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 4890 -n name -d data_file image 4891 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 4892 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 4893 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 4894 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 4895 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 4896 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 4897 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 4898 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 4899 4900Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 4901address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 4902kernel version: 4903 4904- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 4905- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 4906 4907So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 4908 4909 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4910 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 4911 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 4912 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 4913 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4914 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4915 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4916 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4917 Load Address: 0x00000000 4918 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4919 4920To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 4921 4922 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 4923 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4924 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4925 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4926 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4927 Load Address: 0x00000000 4928 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4929 4930NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 4931speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 4932needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 4933need to be uncompressed: 4934 4935 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 4936 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4937 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 4938 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 4939 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 4940 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4941 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4942 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 4943 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 4944 Load Address: 0x00000000 4945 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4946 4947 4948Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 4949when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 4950 4951 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 4952 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 4953 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 4954 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 4955 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 4956 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 4957 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 4958 Load Address: 0x00000000 4959 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4960 4961 4962Installing a Linux Image: 4963------------------------- 4964 4965To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 4966you must convert the image to S-Record format: 4967 4968 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 4969 4970The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 4971image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 4972address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 5153 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 5154 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 5155 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 5156 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 5157 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5158 being started. 5159 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5160 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5161 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5162 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5163 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5164 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5165 5166 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5167 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5168 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5169 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5170 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5171 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5172 5173 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5174 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5175 flash memory. 5176 5177 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5178 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5179 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5180 as command interpreter. 5181 5182Booting the Linux zImage: 5183------------------------- 5184 5185On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5186using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5187as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5188 5189Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 5190kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5191address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5192format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5193 5194 5195Standalone HOWTO: 5196================= 5197 5198One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5199run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5200U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5201 5202Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5203 5204"Hello World" Demo: 5205------------------- 5206 5207'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 5208application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 5209It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 5210like that: 5211 5212 => loads 5213 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5214 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 5215 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5216 [file transfer complete] 5217 [connected] 5218 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5219 5220 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 5241controlled by the following keys: 5242 5243 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 5244 b - enable interrupts and start timer 5245 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 5246 q - quit application 5247 5248 => loads 5249 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5250 ~>examples/timer.srec 5251 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5252 [file transfer complete] 5253 [connected] 5254 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5255 5256 => go 40004 5257 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 5258 TIMERS=0xfff00980 5259 Using timer 1 5260 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 5261 5262Hit 'b': 5263 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 5264 Enabling timer 5265Hit '?': 5266 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 5267 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 5268Hit '?': 5269 [q, b, e, ?] . 5270 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 5271Hit '?': 5272 [q, b, e, ?] . 5273 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 5274Hit '?': 5275 [q, b, e, ?] . 5276 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 5277Hit 'e': 5278 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 5279Hit 'q': 5280 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 5281 5282 5283Minicom warning: 5284================ 5285 5286Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 5287"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 5288consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 5289Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 5290especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 5291use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 5292http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 5293for help with kermit. 5294 5295 5296Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 5297configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 5298 5299 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 5316 5317 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 5318 # mkdir powerpc 5319 # ln -s powerpc machine 5320 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 5321 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 5322 5323Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 5324and U-Boot include files. 5325 5326Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 5327stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 5328proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 5329tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 5330meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 5331 5332 5333Implementation Internals: 5334========================= 5335 5336The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 5337implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 5338inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 5339hardware. 5340 5341 5342Initial Stack, Global Data: 5343--------------------------- 5344 5345The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 5346starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 5347system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 5348This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 5349is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 5350at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 5351options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 5352models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 5353MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 5354locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 5355 5356 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 5357 U-Boot mailing list: 5358 5359 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 5360 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 5361 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 5362 ... 5363 5364 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 5365 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 5366 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 5367 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 5368 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 5369 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 5370 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 5371 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 5372 5373 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 5374 is another option for the system designer to use as an 5375 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 5376 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 5377 board designers haven't used it for something that would 5378 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 5379 used. 5380 5381 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 5382 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 5383 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 5384 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 5385 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 5386 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 5387 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 5388 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 5389 you get the config right. 5390 5391 -Chris Hallinan 5392 DS4.COM, Inc. 5393 5394It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 5395code for the initialization procedures: 5396 5397* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 5398 to write it. 5399 5400* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 5401 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 5402 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 5403 5404* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 5405 that. 5406 5407Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 5408normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 5409turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 5410simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 5411functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 5412functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 5413the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 5414place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 5415reserve for this purpose. 5416 5417When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 5418relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 5419GCC's implementation. 5420 5421For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 5422 R1: stack pointer 5423 R2: reserved for system use 5424 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 5425 R5-R10: parameter passing 5426 R13: small data area pointer 5427 R30: GOT pointer 5428 R31: frame pointer 5429 5430 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 5431 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 5432 going back and forth between asm and C) 5433 5434 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 5435 5436 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 5437 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 5438 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 5439 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 5440 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 5441 624 text + 127 data). 5442 5443On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 5444 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 5445 5446 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 5447 5448On ARM, the following registers are used: 5449 5450 R0: function argument word/integer result 5451 R1-R3: function argument word 5452 R9: GOT pointer 5453 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 5454 R11: argument (frame) pointer 5455 R12: temporary workspace 5456 R13: stack pointer 5457 R14: link register 5458 R15: program counter 5459 5460 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 5461 5462On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 5463 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 5464 5465 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 5466 5467 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 5468 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 5469 5470On NDS32, the following registers are used: 5471 5472 R0-R1: argument/return 5473 R2-R5: argument 5474 R15: temporary register for assembler 5475 R16: trampoline register 5476 R28: frame pointer (FP) 5477 R29: global pointer (GP) 5478 R30: link register (LP) 5479 R31: stack pointer (SP) 5480 PC: program counter (PC) 5481 5482 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 5483 5484NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 5485or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 5486 5487Memory Management: 5488------------------ 5489 5490U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 5491MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 5492 5493The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 5494controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 5495memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 5496physical memory banks. 5497 5498U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 5499TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 5500booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 5501to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 5502memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 5503configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 5504Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 5505 5506Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 5507of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 5508 5509So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 5510this: 5511 5512 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 5513 : 5514 0x0000 1FFF 5515 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 5516 : 5517 : 5518 5519 : 5520 : 5521 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 5522 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 5523 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 5524 : 5525 0x00FD FFFF 5526 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 5527 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 5528 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 5529 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 5530 5531 5532System Initialization: 5533---------------------- 5534 5535In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 5536(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 5537configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 5538To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 5539To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 5540initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 5541which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 5542part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 5543the caches and the SIU. 5544 5545Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 5546preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 5547(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 5548on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 5549programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 5550simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 5551banks. 5552 5553When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 5554different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 5555bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 55560x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 5557contiguous memory starting from 0. 5558 5559Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 5560and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 5561Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 5562pages, and the final stack is set up. 5563 5564Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 5565until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 5566running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 5567new address in RAM. 5568 5569 5570U-Boot Porting Guide: 5571---------------------- 5572 5573[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 5574list, October 2002] 5575 5576 5577int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 5578{ 5579 sighandler_t no_more_time; 5580 5581 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 5582 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 5583 5584 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 5585 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 5586 return 0; 5587 } 5588 5589 Download latest U-Boot source; 5590 5591 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 5592 5593 if (clueless) 5594 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 5595 5596 while (learning) { 5597 Read the README file in the top level directory; 5598 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 5599 Read applicable doc/*.README; 5600 Read the source, Luke; 5601 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 5602 } 5603 5604 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 5605 Buy a BDI3000; 5606 else 5607 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 5608 5609 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 5610 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 5611 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5612 } else { 5613 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5614 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5615 } 5616 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5617 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5618 5619 while (!accepted) { 5620 while (!running) { 5621 do { 5622 Add / modify source code; 5623 } until (compiles); 5624 Debug; 5625 if (clueless) 5626 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5627 } 5628 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5629 if (reasonable critiques) 5630 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5631 else 5632 Defend code as written; 5633 } 5634 5635 return 0; 5636} 5637 5638void no_more_time (int sig) 5639{ 5640 hire_a_guru(); 5641} 5642 5643 5644Coding Standards: 5645----------------- 5646 5647All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5648coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5649"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5650 5651Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5652MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5653reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5654sources. 5655 5656Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5657Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5658in your code. 5659 5660Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5661- remove any trailing white space 5662- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5663- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5664- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5665- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5666 5667Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5668with a request to reformat the changes. 5669 5670 5671Submitting Patches: 5672------------------- 5673 5674Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5675establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5676may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5677 5678Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5679 5680Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5681see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5682 5683When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5684it: 5685 5686* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5687 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5688 patch actually fixes something. 5689 5690* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5691 implementation. 5692 5693* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5694 5695* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5696 5697* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 5698 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too. 5699 5700* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5701 document these in the README file. 5702 5703* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5704 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5705 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5706 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5707 with some other mail clients. 5708 5709 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5710 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5711 GNU diff. 5712 5713 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5714 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5715 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5716 affected files). 5717 5718 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5719 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5720 5721* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5722 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5723 5724* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5725 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5726 5727 5728Notes: 5729 5730* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5731 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5732 for any of the boards. 5733 5734* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5735 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5736 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5737 5738* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5739 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5740 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5741 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5742 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5743 modification. 5744 5745* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5746 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5747 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5748 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5749
