24Summary:
25========
26
27This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
28Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
32
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
34the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
36support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
52
53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
55maintainers.
56
57Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
58it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:

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

889
890		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
891		support you can write:
892
893		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
894		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
895
896	Other Commands:
897		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
898
899	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
900		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
901		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
902		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
903		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
904		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
905		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
906		initial stack and some data.
907
908
909		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
910
911- Device tree:
912		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
913		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
914		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
915		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
916		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
917		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
918
919		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
920		be done using one of the two options below:
921
922		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
923		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
924		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
925		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
926		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
927		the global data structure as gd->blob.
928
929		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
930		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
931		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
932		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
933
934			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
935
936		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
937		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
938		still use the individual files if you need something more
939		exotic.
940
941- Watchdog:
942		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
943		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
944		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
945		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
946		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
947		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
948		available, then no further board specific code should
949		be needed to use it.
950
951		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
952		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
953		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
954		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
955
956- U-Boot Version:
957		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
958		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
959		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
960		version as printed by the "version" command.
961		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
962		next reset.
963
964- Real-Time Clock:
965
966		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
967		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
968		following options:
969
970		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
971		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
972		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
973		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
974		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
975		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
976		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
977		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
978		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
979		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
980		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
981		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
982					  RV3029 RTC.
983
984		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
985		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
986
987- GPIO Support:
988		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
989		CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO	- enable pca953x info command
990
991		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
992		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
993		pins supported by a particular chip.
994
995		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
996		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
997
998- Timestamp Support:
999
1000		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1001		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1002		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1003		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1004
1005- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1006		Zero or more of the following:
1007		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1008		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1009				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1010		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1011		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1012				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1013				       disk/part_efi.c
1014		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1015

1217
1218- USB Device:
1219		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1220		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1221		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1222		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1223		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1224		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1225		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1226		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1227		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1228		a Linux host by
1229		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1230		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1231		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1232		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1233
1234			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE

1240
1241			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1242			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1243			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1244			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1245			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1246			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1247			speed.
1248
1249			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1250			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1251			be set to usbtty.
1252
1253			mpc8xx:
1254				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH

1262		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1263		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1264		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1265		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1266		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1267		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1268
1269			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1270			Define this string as the name of your company for
1271			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1272
1273			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1274			Define this string as the name of your product
1275			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1276
1277			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID

1279			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1280			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1281			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1282
1283			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1284			Define this as the unique Product ID
1285			for your device
1286			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1287
1288- ULPI Layer Support:
1289		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1290		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1291		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1292		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1293		viewport is supported.
1294		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1295		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1296		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1297		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1298		the appropriate value in Hz.
1299

1321
1322		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1323		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1324		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1325
1326		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1327		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1328		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1329
1330		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1331		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1332		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1333		have not defined a custom partition
1334
1335- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1336		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1337
1338		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1339		file in FAT formatted partition.

1377		assumed.
1378
1379		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1380		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1381		are possible:
1382		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1383		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1384
1385		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024

1401		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1402
1403		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1404		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1405		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1406		support, and should also define these other macros:
1407

1415			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1416
1417		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1418		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1419		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1420		description of this variable.
1421
1422		CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA

1499- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1500
1501		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1502		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1503		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1504		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1505		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1506		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This

1509
1510		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1511
1512		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1513		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1514		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1515		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1516		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1517		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1518
1519		Example:
1520		setenv splashpos m,m
1521			=> image at center of screen
1522
1523		setenv splashpos 30,20
1524			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1525
1526		setenv splashpos -10,m
1527			=> vertically centered image
1528			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1529
1530- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1531
1532		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1533		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1534		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1535
1536- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1537
1538		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1539		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1540		bmp command.
1541
1542- Do compresssing for memory range:
1543		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1544
1545		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1546		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1547
1548- Compression support:
1549		CONFIG_BZIP2
1550
1551		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1552		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1553		compressed images are supported.
1554
1555		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1556		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1557		be at least 4MB.
1558
1559		CONFIG_LZMA
1560
1561		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1562		images is included.
1563
1564		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1565		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1566		formula:
1567
1568			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1569
1570		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1571		and Literal pos bits.
1572
1573		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1574		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1575		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1576		a very small buffer.
1577
1578		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1579		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1580		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1581
1582- MII/PHY support:
1583		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1584
1585		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1586
1587		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1588
1589		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1590
1591		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1592
1593		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1594		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1595
1596		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1597
1598		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1599		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1600		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1601		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1602
1603		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1604
1605		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1606		command issued before MII status register can be read
1607
1608- Ethernet address:
1609		CONFIG_ETHADDR
1610		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
1611		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
1612		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
1613		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
1614		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
1615
1616		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1617		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
1618		is not determined automatically.
1619
1620- IP address:
1621		CONFIG_IPADDR
1622
1623		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1624		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1625		determined through e.g. bootp.
1626		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
1627
1628- Server IP address:
1629		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1630
1631		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1632		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1633		(Environment variable "serverip")
1634
1635		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1636
1637		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1638		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1639
1640- Gateway IP address:
1641		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1642
1643		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1644		default router where packets to other networks are
1645		sent to.
1646		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
1647
1648- Subnet mask:
1649		CONFIG_NETMASK
1650
1651		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1652		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1653		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1654		forwarded through a router.
1655		(Environment variable "netmask")
1656
1657- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1658		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1659
1660		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1661		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1662		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1663		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1664		multicast group.
1665
1666- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1667		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1668
1669		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1670		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1671		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1672		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1673		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1674		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1675		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1676		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1677		following delays are inserted then:
1678
1679		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1680		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1681		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1682		4th and following
1683		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1684
1685- DHCP Advanced Options:
1686		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1687		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1688
1689		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1690		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1691		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1692		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1693		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1694		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1695		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1696		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1697		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1698		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1699		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1700		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1701		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1702
1703		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1704		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1705
1706		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1707		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1708		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
1709		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1710		is not available.
1711
1712		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1713		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1714		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1715		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1716		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1717		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1718		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1719		is defined.
1720
1721		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1722		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1723		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1724		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1725		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1726		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1727
1728		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1729
1730		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1731		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1732		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1733		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1734		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1735		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1736		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1737		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1738		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1739		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1740		this delay.
1741
1742 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1743		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1744		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1745		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1746		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1747
1748		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1749
1750 - CDP Options:
1751		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1752
1753		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1754
1755		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1756
1757		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1758		of the device.
1759
1760		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1761
1762		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1763		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1764		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1765
1766		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1767
1768		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1769		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1770
1771		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1772
1773		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1774
1775		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1776
1777		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1778
1779		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1780
1781		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1782
1783		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1784
1785		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1786		device in .1 of milliwatts.
1787
1788		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1789
1790		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1791
1792- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1793
1794		Several configurations allow to display the current
1795		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1796		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1797		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1798		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1799		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1800		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1801		feature in U-Boot.
1802
1803- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1804
1805		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1806		on those systems that support this (optional)
1807		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1808
1809- I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1810
1811		These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
1812		(but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
1813		include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
1814
1815		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
1816		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
1817		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1818		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
1819		command line interface.
1820
1821		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
1822
1823		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
1824		bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1825		support for I2C.
1826
1827		There are several other quantities that must also be
1828		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
1829
1830		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
1831		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
1832		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
1833		the CPU's i2c node address).
1834
1835		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
1836		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
1837		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1838		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1839		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
1840
1841		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1842
1843		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1844		chips might think that the current transfer is still
1845		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
1846		commands until the slave device responds.
1847
1848		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
1849
1850		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1851		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1852		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
1853
1854		I2C_INIT
1855
1856		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
1857		controller or configure ports.
1858
1859		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
1860
1861		I2C_PORT
1862
1863		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1864		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1865		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
1866
1867		I2C_ACTIVE
1868
1869		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1870		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
1871		define can be null.
1872
1873		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
1874
1875		I2C_TRISTATE
1876
1877		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1878		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
1879		define can be null.
1880
1881		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1882
1883		I2C_READ
1884
1885		Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1886		FALSE if it is low.
1887
1888		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1889
1890		I2C_SDA(bit)
1891
1892		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1893		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1894
1895		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
1896			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
1897			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
1898
1899		I2C_SCL(bit)
1900
1901		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1902		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1903
1904		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
1905			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
1906			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
1907
1908		I2C_DELAY
1909
1910		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1911		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
1912		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
1913		like:
1914
1915		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
1916
1917		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1918
1919		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1920		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1921		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1922		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1923
1924		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1925		the generic GPIO functions.
1926
1927		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
1928
1929		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1930		chips might think that the current transfer is still
1931		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1932		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1933		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1934		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1935		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1936		is run early in the boot sequence.
1937
1938		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1939
1940		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1941		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1942		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1943		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1944		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1945		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1946		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1947		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
1948
1949		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1950
1951		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1952		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1953		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1954
1955		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1956
1957		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1958		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
1959		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1960		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1961
1962		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
1963
1964		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
1965		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1966		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
1967		a 1D array of device addresses
1968
1969		e.g.
1970			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1971			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
1972
1973		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1974
1975			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1976			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
1977
1978		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1979
1980		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
1981
1982		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1983		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1984
1985		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
1986
1987		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1988		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1989
1990		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
1991
1992		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1993		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1994
1995		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
1996
1997		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1998		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1999		specified DTT device.
2000
2001		CONFIG_FSL_I2C
2002
2003		Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
2004		drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
2005
2006		CONFIG_I2C_MUX
2007
2008		Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
2009		I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
2010		Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2011		new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2012		new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2013		the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2014
2015		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2016		feature!
2017
2018		Example:
2019		Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2020			The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2021			The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2022
2023		=> i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2024
2025		Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2026		of I2C Busses with muxes:
2027
2028		=> i2c bus
2029		Busses reached over muxes:
2030		Bus ID: 2
2031		  reached over Mux(es):
2032		    pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2033		Bus ID: 3
2034		  reached over Mux(es):
2035		    pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2036		    pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2037		=>
2038
2039		If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
2040		u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2041		channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
2042		the channel 4.
2043
2044		After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
2045		usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
2046		the 2 muxes.
2047
2048		This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2049		algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2050		Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2051		to add this option to other architectures.
2052
2053		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2054
2055		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2056		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2057		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2058		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2059		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2060		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2061		the other.
2062
2063- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2064
2065		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2066		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2067		D/As on the SACSng board)
2068
2069		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2070
2071		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2072		only SH7757 is supported.
2073
2074		CONFIG_SPI_X
2075
2076		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2077		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2078
2079		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2080
2081		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2082		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2083		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2084		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2085		defined, the board configuration must define several
2086		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2087		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2088
2089		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2090
2091		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2092		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2093		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2094		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2095		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2096
2097		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2098
2099		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2100		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2101
2102- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2103
2104		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2105
2106		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2107
2108		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2109		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2110
2111		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2112
2113		Enables support for FPGA family.
2114		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2115
2116		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2117
2118		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2119
2120		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2121
2122		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2123
2124		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2125
2126		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2127		status by the configuration function. This option
2128		will require a board or device specific function to
2129		be written.
2130
2131		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2132
2133		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2134		configuration driver.
2135
2136		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2137		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2138
2139		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2140
2141		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2142		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2143		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2144		indicated a CRC error).
2145
2146		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2147
2148		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2149		after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2150		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2151		ms.
2152
2153		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2154
2155		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
2156		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2157
2158		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2159
2160		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2161		200 ms.
2162
2163- Configuration Management:
2164		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2165
2166		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2167		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2168
2169- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2170
2171		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2172		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2173		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2174		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2175		protects these variables from casual modification by
2176		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2177		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2178		change this behaviour:
2179
2180		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2181		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2182		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2183		these parameters.
2184
2185		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2186		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2187		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2188		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2189		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2190		read-only.]
2191
2192		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2193		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2194		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2195		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2196
2197- Protected RAM:
2198		CONFIG_PRAM
2199
2200		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2201		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2202		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2203		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2204		this default value by defining an environment
2205		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2206		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2207		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2208		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2209		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2210		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2211		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2212
2213			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2214			saveenv
2215
2216		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2217		either, which results in a memory region that will
2218		not be affected by reboots.
2219
2220		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2221		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2222		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2223		following board configurations are known to be
2224		"pRAM-clean":
2225
2226			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2227			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2228			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2229
2230- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2231		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2232		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2233		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2234		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2235		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2236		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2237
2238- Error Recovery:
2239		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2240
2241		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2242		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2243		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2244		system where you want the system to reboot
2245		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2246		useful during development since you can try to debug
2247		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2248
2249		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2250
2251		This variable defines the number of retries for
2252		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2253		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2254		default value of 5 is used.
2255
2256		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2257
2258		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2259
2260		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2261
2262		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2263		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2264		try longer timeout such as
2265		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2266
2267- Command Interpreter:
2268		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2269
2270		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2271
2272		Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2273		for the "hush" shell.
2274
2275
2276		CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
2277
2278		Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2279		Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2280		powerful command line syntax like
2281		if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2282		constructs ("shell scripts").
2283
2284		If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2285		with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2286
2287
2288		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2289
2290		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2291		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2292		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2293
2294	Note:
2295
2296		In the current implementation, the local variables
2297		space and global environment variables space are
2298		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2299		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2300		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2301		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2302		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2303
2304		Global environment variables are those you use
2305		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2306		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2307		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2308
2309		To store commands and special characters in a
2310		variable, please use double quotation marks
2311		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2312		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2313		symbols.
2314
2315- Commandline Editing and History:
2316		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2317
2318		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2319		commandline input operations
2320
2321- Default Environment:
2322		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2323
2324		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2325		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2326		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2327
2328		For example, place something like this in your
2329		board's config file:
2330
2331		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2332			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2333			"myvar2=value2\0"
2334
2335		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2336		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2337		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2338		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2339		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2340		You better know what you are doing here.
2341
2342		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2343		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2344		the environment like the "source" command or the
2345		boot command first.
2346
2347		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2348
2349		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2350		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2351		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2352
2353		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2354
2355		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2356		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2357		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2358		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2359		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2360
2361		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2362
2363		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2364		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2365		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2366
2367- DataFlash Support:
2368		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2369
2370		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2371		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2372		commands cp, md...
2373
2374- Serial Flash support
2375		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2376
2377		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2378		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2379
2380		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2381		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2382		commands.
2383
2384		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2385		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2386		flash is present on the system.
2387
2388		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2389		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2390		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2391		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2392
2393- SystemACE Support:
2394		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2395
2396		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2397		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2398		of the chip must also be defined in the
2399		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2400
2401		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2402		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2403
2404		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2405		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2406
2407- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2408		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2409
2410		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2411		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2412		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2413		number generator is used.
2414
2415		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2416		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2417		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2418
2419		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2420		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2421		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2422		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2423		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2424		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2425		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2426
2427- Hashing support:
2428		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2429
2430		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2431		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2432
2433		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2434
2435		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2436		size a little.
2437
2438		CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2439		CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2440
2441		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2442		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2443
2444- Show boot progress:
2445		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2446
2447		Defining this option allows to add some board-
2448		specific code (calling a user-provided function
2449		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2450		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2451		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2452		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2453
2454- Detailed boot stage timing
2455		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2456		Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2457		of the boot process.
2458
2459		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2460		This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2461		Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2462		a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2463		the limit, recording will stop.
2464
2465		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2466		Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2467
2468		Timer summary in microseconds:
2469		       Mark    Elapsed  Stage
2470			  0          0  reset
2471		  3,575,678  3,575,678  board_init_f start
2472		  3,575,695         17  arch_cpu_init A9
2473		  3,575,777         82  arch_cpu_init done
2474		  3,659,598     83,821  board_init_r start
2475		  3,910,375    250,777  main_loop
2476		 29,916,167 26,005,792  bootm_start
2477		 30,361,327    445,160  start_kernel
2478
2479		CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2480		Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2481		and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2482
2483		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2484		Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2485		node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2486		has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2487		mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2488		accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2489		For example:
2490
2491		bootstage {
2492			154 {
2493				name = "board_init_f";
2494				mark = <3575678>;
2495			};
2496			170 {
2497				name = "lcd";
2498				accum = <33482>;
2499			};
2500		};
2501
2502		Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

2844Modem Support:
2845--------------
2846
2847[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
2848
2849- Modem support enable:
2850		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2851
2852- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
2853		CONFIG_HWFLOW
2854
2855- Modem debug support:
2856		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2857
2858		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2859		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
2860
2861- Interrupt support (PPC):
2862
2863		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2864		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
2865		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
2866		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
2867		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
2868		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
2869		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
2870		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2871		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2872		general timer_interrupt().
2873
2874- General:
2875
2876		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2877		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2878		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
2879		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
2880		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2881		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2882		initialization.
2883
2884		If there are no modem init strings in the
2885		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2886		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
2887		suppressed, though.
2888
2889		See also: doc/README.Modem
2890
2891Board initialization settings:
2892------------------------------
2893
2894During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2895to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2896before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2897following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2898architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2899typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
2900
2901- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
2902- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
2903- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
2904- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
2905
2906Configuration Settings:
2907-----------------------
2908
2909- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
2910		undefine this when you're short of memory.
2911
2912- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
2913		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
2914
2915- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
2916		prompt for user input.
2917
2918- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
2919
2920- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
2921
2922- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
2923
2924- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
2925		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
2926		booted
2927
2928- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
2929		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
2930
2931- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
2932		Suppress display of console information at boot.
2933
2934- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
2935		If the board specific function
2936			extern int overwrite_console (void);
2937		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
2938		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
2939
2940- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
2941		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
2942
2943- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
2944		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
2945
2946- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
2947		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
2948		simple memory test.
2949
2950- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
2951		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
2952
2953- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
2954		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
2955		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2956
2957- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2958		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
2959		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
2960		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
2961		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2962		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2963		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
2964		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
2965		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
2966		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
2967
2968		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2969		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2970		be touched.
2971
2972		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2973		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2974		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2975		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2976		problems.
2977
2978- CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR:
2979		Default load address for network file downloads
2980
2981- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
2982		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
2983
2984- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
2985		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
2986
2987- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
2988		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
2989		Cogent motherboard)
2990
2991- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
2992		Physical start address of Flash memory.
2993
2994- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
2995		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
2996		make config files to be same as the text base address
2997		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
2998		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
2999
3000- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3001		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3002		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3003		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3004		flash sector.
3005
3006- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3007		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3008
3009- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3010		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3011		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3012		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3013		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3014
3015- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3016		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3017		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3018		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3019		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3020		enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3021		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3022		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3023		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3024		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3025		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3026
3027- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3028		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3029		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3030		is enabled.
3031
3032- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3033		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3034		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3035
3036- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3037		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3038		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3039
3040- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3041		Max number of Flash memory banks
3042
3043- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3044		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3045
3046- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3047		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3048
3049- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3050		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3051
3052- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3053		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3054
3055- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3056		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3057
3058- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3059		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3060		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3061
3062- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3063
3064		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3065		without this option such a download has to be
3066		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3067		copy from RAM to flash.
3068
3069		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3070		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3071		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3072		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3073		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3074
3075- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3076		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3077		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3078
3079- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3080		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3081		in the drivers directory
3082
3083- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3084		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3085		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3086		to the MTD layer.
3087
3088- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3089		Use buffered writes to flash.
3090
3091- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3092		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3093		write commands.
3094
3095- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3096		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3097		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3098		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3099		optionally available.
3100
3101- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3102		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3103		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3104		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3105
3106- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3107		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3108		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3109		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3110		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3111		on high Ethernet traffic.
3112		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3113
3114- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3115
3116	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3117	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3118	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3119	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3120	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3121
3122- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3123- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3124	Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3125	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3126	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3127	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3128
3129	The format of the list is:
3130		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3131		attributes = type_attribute
3132		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3133		list = entry[,list]
3134
3135	The type attributes are:
3136		s - String (default)
3137		d - Decimal
3138		x - Hexadecimal
3139		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3140		i - IP address
3141		m - MAC address
3142
3143	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3144		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3145		envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3146
3147	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3148		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3149		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3150		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
3151		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3152		".flags" variable.
3153
3154The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3155of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3156following configurations:
3157
3158- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3159
3160	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3161	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3162
3163- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3164
3165	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3166
3167	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3168	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3169	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3170	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3171	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3172	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3173	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3174	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3175	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3176	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3177	   between U-Boot and the environment.
3178
3179	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3180
3181	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3182	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3183	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3184	   for this sector is given here.
3185
3186	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3187
3188	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3189
3190	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
3191	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3192	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3193
3194	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3195
3196	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
3197
3198
3199	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3200	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3201	   the environment.
3202
3203	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3204
3205	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3206	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3207	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3208	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3209
3210	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3211	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3212	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3213	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3214	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3215	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
3216	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3217	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3218	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
3219
3220	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3221	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3222
3223	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3224	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3225	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3226	   a "saveenv" operation.
3227
3228BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3229source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3230accordingly!
3231
3232
3233- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3234
3235	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3236	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3237	environment.
3238
3239	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3240	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3241
3242	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3243	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3244	  can just be read and written to, without any special
3245	  provision.
3246
3247BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3248in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3249console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3250U-Boot will hang.
3251
3252Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3253environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3254keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3255to save the current settings.
3256
3257
3258- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3259
3260	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3261	device and a driver for it.
3262
3263	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3264	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3265
3266	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3267	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3268
3269	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3270	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3271	  The default address is zero.
3272
3273	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3274	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3275	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
3276	  would require six bits.
3277
3278	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3279	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3280	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
3281
3282	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3283	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
3284	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
3285
3286	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3287	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3288	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3289	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3290	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3291	  byte chips.
3292
3293	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3294	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3295	  in the chip address.
3296
3297	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3298	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3299
3300	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3301	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3302	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3303
3304	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3305	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3306	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3307	  EEPROM. For example:
3308
3309	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  "pca9547:70:d\0"
3310
3311	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3312	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3313
3314- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3315
3316	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3317	want to use for the environment.
3318
3319	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3320	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3321	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3322
3323	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3324	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3325	  at the specified address.
3326
3327- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3328
3329	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3330	want to use for the local device's environment.
3331
3332	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3333	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3334
3335	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3336	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
3337	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
3338	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3339
3340BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3341"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3342environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3343but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3344
3345- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3346
3347	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3348	for the environment.
3349
3350	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3351	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3352
3353	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3354	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3355	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3356
3357	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3358
3359	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3360	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3361	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3362	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
3363	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3364
3365	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3366
3367	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3368	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3369	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3370	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3371	  the range to be avoided.
3372
3373	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3374
3375	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3376	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
3377	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3378	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3379	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3380
3381- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3382
3383	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3384	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3385	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3386
3387- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
3388
3389	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3390	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3391	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3392	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3393	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3394	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3395	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3396
3397Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
3398has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
3399created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
3400until then to read environment variables.
3401
3402The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3403is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3404with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3405necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3406"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3407have any device yet where we could complain.]
3408
3409Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3410the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
3411use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
3412
3413- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
3414		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
3415
3416		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
3417		      also needs to be defined.
3418
3419- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
3420		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
3421
3422- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3423		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3424		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3425		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
3426		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3427		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3428
3429Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
3430---------------------------------------------------
3431
3432- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
3433		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
3434
3435- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
3436		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
3437
3438		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
3439		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
3440		the IMMR register after a reset.
3441
3442- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3443		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3444		PowerPC SOCs.
3445
3446- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3447		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3448		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3449
3450		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3451		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3452
3453- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3454		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
3455		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
3456		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
3457		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
3458		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
3459		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3460
3461		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3462			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3463
3464- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
3465		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
3466		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
3467		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3468		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3469
3470- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3471		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
3472		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3473		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3474
3475- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3476		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3477		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
3478
3479- Floppy Disk Support:
3480		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
3481
3482		the default drive number (default value 0)
3483
3484		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
3485
3486		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
3487		(default value 1)
3488
3489		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
3490
3491		defines the offset of register from address. It
3492		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
3493		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
3494
3495		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
3496		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
3497		default value.
3498
3499		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
3500		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
3501		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
3502		source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
3503		initializations.
3504
3505- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
3506		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3507		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3508		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3509		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3510		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
3511		is requierd.
3512
3513- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
3514		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
3515		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
3516
3517- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
3518
3519		Start address of memory area that can be used for
3520		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
3521		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
3522		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
3523		will become available only after programming the
3524		memory controller and running certain initialization
3525		sequences.
3526
3527		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
3528		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
3529		- MPC824X: data cache
3530		- PPC4xx:  data cache
3531
3532- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
3533
3534		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
3535		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3536		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
3537		data is located at the end of the available space
3538		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
3539		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
3540		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
3541		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
3542
3543	Note:
3544		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3545		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
3546		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
3547		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
3548		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

3620		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
3621		required.
3622
3623- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
3624		Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
3625		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
3626		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
3627		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
3628		by coreboot or similar.
3629

3658		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
3659
3660  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS

3662
3663- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM

3665		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
3666		to something your driver can deal with.
3667
3668- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
3669		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
3670		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing

3675		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
3676
3677- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0

3679		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
3680
3681- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
3682		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
3683
3684- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
3685		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
3686		to the given FEC; i. e.
3687			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
3688		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
3689
3690		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
3691
3692- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
3693		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
3694		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
3695
3696- CONFIG_RMII
3697		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
3698		Note that this is a global option, we can't
3699		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
3700
3701- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
3702		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
3703		The syntax is:
3704
3705		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
3706
3707		Where address/count indicate a memory area
3708		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
3709		area should have.
3710
3711- CONFIG_LOOPW
3712		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
3713		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
3714
3715- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
3716		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
3717		"md/mw" commands.
3718		Examples:
3719
3720		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
3721		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
3722
3723		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
3724		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
3725
3726		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
3727		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
3728
3729- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
3730		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
3731		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3732		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3733		relocate itself into RAM.
3734
3735		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3736		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3737		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3738		these initializations itself.
3739
3740- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
3741		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
3742		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
3743		compiling a NAND SPL.
3744
3745- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
3746  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
3747		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
3748		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
3749		conditions but may increase the binary size.
3750
3751- CONFIG_X86_NO_RESET_VECTOR
3752		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is excluded. You will need
3753		to do this when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
3754
3755- CONFIG_X86_NO_REAL_MODE
3756		If defined, x86 real mode code is omitted. This assumes a
3757		32-bit environment where such code is not needed. You will
3758		need to do this when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
3759
3760
3761Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3762-----------------------------------
3763
3764The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3765loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3766This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3767are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3768within that device.
3769
3770- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3771	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
3772	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3773	is also specified.
3774
3775- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3776	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
3777	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3778	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3779	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3780
3781- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3782	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3783	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3784	virtual address in NOR flash.
3785
3786- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3787	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3788	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3789
3790- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3791	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3792	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3793
3794- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
3795	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
3796	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3797
3798- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3799	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3800	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
3801	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3802	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3803	master's memory space.
3804
3805Building the Software:
3806======================
3807
3808Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3809and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3810all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3811(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3812recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3813which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
3814
3815If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3816have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3817you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3818Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3819necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
3820
3821	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3822	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
3823
3824Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3825      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3826      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3827      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
3828
3829       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3830
3831      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3832      be executed on computers running Windows.
3833
3834U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3835sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
3836is done by typing:
3837
3838	make NAME_config
3839
3840where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
3841rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
3842
3843Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3844      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3845      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3846      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
3847      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
3848
3849      make TQM823L_config
3850	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
3851
3852      make TQM823L_LCD_config
3853	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
3854
3855      etc.
3856
3857
3858Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3859images ready for download to / installation on your system:
3860
3861- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3862- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3863- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
3864
3865By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3866in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3867this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3868
38691. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3870
3871	make O=/tmp/build distclean
3872	make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3873	make O=/tmp/build all
3874
38752. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3876
3877	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3878	make distclean
3879	make NAME_config
3880	make all
3881
3882Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3883variable.
3884
3885
3886Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3887for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3888native "make".
3889
3890
3891If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3892to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3893steps:
3894
38951.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
3896    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
3897    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
38982.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3899    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3900    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
39013.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3902    your board
39033.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3904    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
39054.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
39065.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3907    to be installed on your target system.
39086.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3909    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
3910
3911
3912Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3913==============================================================
3914
3915If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3916or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
3917provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3918the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
3919official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
3920
3921But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3922cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
3923the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3924just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
3925for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3926select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3927environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3928you can type
3929
3930	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3931
3932or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
3933
3934	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
3935
3936When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
3937U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
3938setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
3939built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
3940<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
3941location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
3942variable. For example:
3943
3944	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3945	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
3946	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3947
3948With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
3949log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
3950during the whole build process.

4005Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
4006========================================
4007
4008TODO.
4009
4010For now: just type "help <command>".
4011
4012
4013Environment Variables:
4014======================
4015
4016U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4017can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4018
4019Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4020"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4021without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4022environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4023working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4024environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4025
4026Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4027
4028List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4029
4030  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4031
4032  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4033
4034  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4035
4036  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4037
4038  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
4039
4040  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4041		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4042		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4043		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4044		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4045		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4046		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4047		  bootm_mapsize.
4048
4049  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4050		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4051		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4052		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4053		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4054		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4055		  used otherwise.
4056
4057  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4058		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4059		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4060		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4061		  environment variable.
4062
4063  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4064		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4065		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4066
4067  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4068		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4069		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4070		  load any image using TFTP
4071
4072  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4073		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4074		  be automatically started (by internally calling
4075		  "bootm")
4076
4077		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4078		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4079		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4080		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4081		  data.
4082
4083  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4084		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4085		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4086		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4087		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4088		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4089		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4090		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4091		  access it during the boot procedure.
4092
4093		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4094		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
4095		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4096		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4097		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4098		  must be accessible by the kernel.
4099
4100  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4101		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4102		  defined.
4103
4104  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4105		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4106		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4107		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4108		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
4109
4110  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
4111		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4112		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4113		  is usually what you want since it allows for
4114		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4115		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4116		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4117		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4118		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4119		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4120		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4121
4122		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4123		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4124		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4125		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4126		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4127		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
4128
4129		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4130
4131		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4132		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4133		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4134		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4135		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4136		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
4137		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4138
4139  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4140
4141  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4142		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4143
4144  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4145
4146  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4147
4148  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4149
4150  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4151
4152  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4153
4154  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
4155
4156  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
4157		  For example you can do the following
4158
4159		  => setenv ethact FEC
4160		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4161		  => setenv ethact SCC
4162		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4163
4164  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4165		  available network interfaces.
4166		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4167
4168  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
4169		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
4170		  When set to "once" the network operation will
4171		  fail when all the available network interfaces
4172		  are tried once without success.
4173		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4174		  themselves.
4175
4176  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
4177
4178  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4179		  UDP source port.
4180
4181  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4182		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4183
4184  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4185		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
4186
4187  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4188		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4189		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4190		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4191		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4192		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4193		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
4194
4195  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4196		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4197		  VLAN tagged frames.
4198
4199The following image location variables contain the location of images
4200used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4201not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4202variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4203server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4204loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4205flash or offset in NAND flash.
4206
4207*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4208boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4209boards use these variables for other purposes.
4210
4211Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
4212-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
4213u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
4214Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
4215device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
4216ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
4217
4218The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4219updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4220depending the information provided by your boot server:
4221
4222  bootfile	- see above
4223  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
4224  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4225  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4226  hostname	- Target hostname
4227  ipaddr	- see above
4228  netmask	- Subnet Mask
4229  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4230  serverip	- see above
4231
4232
4233There are two special Environment Variables:
4234
4235  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
4236		  as type string and/or serial number
4237  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
4238
4239These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4240the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4241once they have been set once.
4242
4243
4244Further special Environment Variables:
4245
4246  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4247		  with the "version" command. This variable is
4248		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4249
4250
4251Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4252only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4253
4254
4255Callback functions for environment variables:
4256---------------------------------------------
4257
4258For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4259when their values are changed.  This functionailty allows functions to
4260be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
4261deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4262effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4263
4264The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4265U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4266
4267These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
4268static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4269in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4270associations.  The list must be in the following format:
4271
4272	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4273	list = entry[,list]
4274
4275If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4276Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4277
4278Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4279with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
4280override any association in the static list. You can define
4281CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4282".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4283
4284
4285Command Line Parsing:
4286=====================
4287
4288There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4289the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
4290
4291Old, simple command line parser:
4292--------------------------------
4293
4294- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4295- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
4296- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
4297- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4298  for example:
4299	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
4300- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4301	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
4302
4303Hush shell:
4304-----------
4305
4306- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4307  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4308  until...do...done, ...
4309- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4310  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4311  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4312  command
4313
4314General rules:
4315--------------
4316
4317(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4318    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4319    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4320    executed anyway.
4321
4322(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
4323    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
4324    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4325    variables are not executed.
4326
4327Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4328=======================================
4329
4330Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
4331such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4332"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
4333
4334Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4335MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4336"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
4337
4338If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4339in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4340ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4341variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
4342
4343o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4344  environment, the SROM's address is used.
4345
4346o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4347  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4348  used.
4349
4350o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4351  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
4352
4353o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4354  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4355  warning is printed.
4356
4357o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4358  is raised.
4359
4360If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
4361will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
4362may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4363The naming convention is as follows:
4364"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
4365
4366Image Formats:
4367==============
4368
4369U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4370images in two formats:
4371
4372New uImage format (FIT)
4373-----------------------
4374
4375Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4376to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4377components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4378SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4379
4380
4381Old uImage format
4382-----------------
4383
4384Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4385preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4386details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
4387
4388* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
4389  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
4390  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
4391  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
4392  INTEGRITY).
4393* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
4394  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
4395  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
4396* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
4397* Load Address
4398* Entry Point
4399* Image Name
4400* Image Timestamp
4401
4402The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
4403and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
4404CRC32 checksums.
4405
4406
4407Linux Support:
4408==============
4409
4410Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4411easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4412U-Boot.
4413
4414U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4415special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4416"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4417instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4418serves several purposes:
4419
4420- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4421  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4422  Flash memory footprint)
4423
4424- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4425  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
4426
4427- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4428  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4429  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4430  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4431  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4432  software is easier now.
4433
4434
4435Linux HOWTO:
4436============
4437
4438Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4439---------------------------------------
4440
4441U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4442configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4443(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4444Linux :-).
4445
4446But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
4447
4448Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4449include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
4450Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4451and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
4452as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
4453
4454
4455Configuring the Linux kernel:
4456-----------------------------
4457
4458No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4459device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.

4462Building a Linux Image:
4463-----------------------
4464
4465With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4466not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4467"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4468U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4469which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4470100% compatible format.
4471
4472Example:
4473
4474	make TQM850L_config
4475	make oldconfig
4476	make dep
4477	make uImage
4478
4479The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4480encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
4481CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4482
4483* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4484
4485* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4486
4487	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4488				 -R .note -R .comment \
4489				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4490
4491* compress the binary image:
4492
4493	gzip -9 linux.bin
4494
4495* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4496
4497	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4498		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4499		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
4500
4501
4502The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4503with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4504combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4505byte header containing information about target architecture,
4506operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4507stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4508
4509"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4510print the header information, or to build new images.
4511
4512In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4513contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4514checksum verification:
4515
4516	tools/mkimage -l image
4517	  -l ==> list image header information
4518
4519The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4520from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4521
4522	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4523		      -n name -d data_file image
4524	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4525	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4526	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4527	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4528	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4529	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4530	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4531	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4532
4533Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4534address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4535kernel version:
4536
4537- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4538- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4539
4540So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4541
4542	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4543	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
4544	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
4545	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
4546	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4547	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4548	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4549	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4550	Load Address: 0x00000000
4551	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4552
4553To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4554
4555	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
4556	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4557	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4558	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4559	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4560	Load Address: 0x00000000
4561	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4562
4563NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4564speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4565needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4566need to be uncompressed:
4567
4568	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
4569	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4570	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
4571	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
4572	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
4573	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4574	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4575	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
4576	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
4577	Load Address: 0x00000000
4578	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4579
4580
4581Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4582when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
4583
4584	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
4585	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
4586	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
4587	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
4588	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
4589	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
4590	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
4591	Load Address: 0x00000000
4592	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4593
4594
4595Installing a Linux Image:
4596-------------------------
4597
4598To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4599you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4600
4601	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4602
4603The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4604image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4605address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4606specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4607command.
4608
4609Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4610TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4611
4612	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
4613
4614	.......... done
4615	Erased 8 sectors
4616
4617	=> loads 40100000
4618	## Ready for S-Record download ...
4619	~>examples/image.srec
4620	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
4621	...
4622	15989 15990 15991 15992
4623	[file transfer complete]
4624	[connected]
4625	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
4626
4627
4628You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
4629this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
4630corruption happened:
4631
4632	=> imi 40100000
4633
4634	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
4635	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
4636	   Image Type:	 PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4637	   Data Size:	 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
4638	   Load Address: 00000000
4639	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
4640	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
4641
4642
4643Boot Linux:
4644-----------
4645
4646The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4647memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4648of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
4649parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
4650"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
4651
4652
4653	=> printenv bootargs
4654	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
4655
4656	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
4657
4658	=> printenv bootargs
4659	bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
4660
4661	=> bootm 40020000

4677If you want to boot a Linux kernel with initial RAM disk, you pass
4678the memory addresses of both the kernel and the initrd image (PPBCOOT

4727-----------
4728
4729First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
4730titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
4731following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
4732flat device tree:

4775More About U-Boot Image Types:
4776------------------------------
4777
4778U-Boot supports the following image types:
4779
4780   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4781	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4782	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4783	the Standalone Program.
4784   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4785	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4786	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4787	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4788	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4789   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4790	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4791	being started.
4792   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4793	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4794	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4795	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4796	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4797	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
4798
4799	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4800	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4801	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4802	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4803	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4804	a multiple of 4 bytes).
4805
4806   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4807	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4808	flash memory.
4809
4810   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4811	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4812	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4813	as command interpreter.
4814
4815Booting the Linux zImage:
4816-------------------------
4817
4818On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4819using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4820as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4821
4822Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
4823kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4824address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4825format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
4826
4827
4828Standalone HOWTO:
4829=================
4830
4831One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4832run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4833U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
4834
4835Two simple examples are included with the sources:
4836
4837"Hello World" Demo:
4838-------------------
4839
4840'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4841application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4842It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4843like that:
4844
4845	=> loads
4846	## Ready for S-Record download ...
4847	~>examples/hello_world.srec
4848	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
4849	[file transfer complete]
4850	[connected]
4851	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
4852
4853	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
4854	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
4855	Hello World
4856	argc = 7
4857	argv[0] = "40004"
4858	argv[1] = "Hello"
4859	argv[2] = "World!"
4860	argv[3] = "This"
4861	argv[4] = "is"
4862	argv[5] = "a"
4863	argv[6] = "test."
4864	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
4865	Hit any key to exit ...
4866
4867	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
4868
4869Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4870handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4871Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4872The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4873character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4874controlled by the following keys:
4875
4876	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4877	b - enable interrupts and start timer
4878	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
4879	q - quit application

4916Minicom warning:
4917================
4918
4919Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4920"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4921consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4922Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4923especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
4924use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
4925http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
4926for help with kermit.
4927
4928
4929Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
4930configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
4931
4932	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
4933	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

4937NetBSD Notes:
4938=============
4939
4940Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4941(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
4942
4943Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4944NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4945need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4946Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4947attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4948missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
4949
4950	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4951	# mkdir powerpc
4952	# ln -s powerpc machine
4953	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4954	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
4955
4956Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4957and U-Boot include files.
4958
4959Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4960stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4961proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4962tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
4963meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

4966Implementation Internals:
4967=========================
4968
4969The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4970implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4971inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4972hardware.
4973
4974
4975Initial Stack, Global Data:
4976---------------------------
4977
4978The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4979starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4980system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4981This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4982is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4983at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4984options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4985models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4986MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4987locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
4988
4989	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
4990	U-Boot mailing list:
4991
4992	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
4993	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
4994	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
4995	...
4996
4997	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4998	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4999	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5000	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5001	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5002	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5003	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5004	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5005
5006	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5007	is another option for the system designer to use as an
5008	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5009	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5010	board designers haven't used it for something that would
5011	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5012	used.
5013
5014	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5015	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5016	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5017	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5018	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5019	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5020	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5021	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5022	you get the config right.

5026
5027It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5028code for the initialization procedures:
5029
5030* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5031  to write it.
5032
5033* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
5034  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5035  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5036
5037* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5038  that.
5039
5040Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5041normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5042turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5043simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5044functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5045functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5046the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5047place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5048reserve for this purpose.
5049
5050When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5051relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
5052GCC's implementation.
5053
5054For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5055	R1:	stack pointer
5056	R2:	reserved for system use
5057	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
5058	R5-R10: parameter passing
5059	R13:	small data area pointer
5060	R30:	GOT pointer
5061	R31:	frame pointer
5062
5063	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5064	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5065	going back and forth between asm and C)
5066
5067    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5068
5069    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5070    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5071    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5072    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5073    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5074    624 text + 127 data).
5075
5076On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
5077	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
5078
5079    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
5080
5081On ARM, the following registers are used:
5082
5083	R0:	function argument word/integer result
5084	R1-R3:	function argument word
5085	R9:	GOT pointer
5086	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
5087	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
5088	R12:	temporary workspace
5089	R13:	stack pointer
5090	R14:	link register
5091	R15:	program counter
5092
5093    ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
5094
5095On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5096	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5097
5098    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5099
5100    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5101    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5102
5103On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5104
5105	R0-R1:	argument/return
5106	R2-R5:	argument
5107	R15:	temporary register for assembler
5108	R16:	trampoline register
5109	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
5110	R29:	global pointer (GP)
5111	R30:	link register (LP)
5112	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
5113	PC:	program counter (PC)
5114
5115    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5116
5117NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5118or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5119
5120Memory Management:
5121------------------
5122
5123U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5124MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5125
5126The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5127controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5128memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5129physical memory banks.
5130
5131U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5132TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5133booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5134to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5135memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5136configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5137Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5138
5139Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5140of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5141
5142So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5143this:
5144
5145	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
5146	      :
5147	0x0000 1FFF
5148	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
5149	      :
5150	      :
5151
5152	      :
5153	      :
5154	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5155	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5156	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
5157	      :
5158	0x00FD FFFF
5159	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5160	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5161	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5162	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
5163
5164
5165System Initialization:
5166----------------------
5167
5168In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5169(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5170configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5171To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5172To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5173initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5174which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5175part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5176the caches and the SIU.
5177
5178Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5179preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5180(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5181on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5182programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5183simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5184banks.
5185
5186When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5187different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5188bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
51890x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5190contiguous memory starting from 0.
5191
5192Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5193and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5194Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5195pages, and the final stack is set up.
5196
5197Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5198until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5199running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5200new address in RAM.

5277Coding Standards:
5278-----------------
5279
5280All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
5281coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
5282"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
5283
5284Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5285MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5286reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5287sources.
5288
5289Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5290Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5291in your code.
5292
5293Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5294- remove any trailing white space
5295- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
5296- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
5297- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
5298- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5299
5300Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5301with a request to reformat the changes.
5302
5303
5304Submitting Patches:
5305-------------------
5306
5307Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5308establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5309may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
5310
5311Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
5312
5313Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5314see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5315
5316When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5317it:
5318
5319* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5320  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5321  patch actually fixes something.
5322
5323* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5324  implementation.
5325
5326* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5327
5328* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
5329
5330* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
5331  board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
5332
5333* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5334  document these in the README file.
5335
5336* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5337  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
5338  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
5339  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5340  with some other mail clients.
5341
5342  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5343  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5344  GNU diff.
5345
5346  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5347  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5348  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5349  affected files).
5350
5351  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5352  and compressed attachments must not be used.
5353
5354* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5355  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5356
5357* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5358  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5359
5360
5361Notes:
5362
5363* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5364  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5365  for any of the boards.
5366
5367* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5368  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5369  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
5370
5371* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5372  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5373  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5374  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5375  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5376  modification.
5377
5378* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5379  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5380  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5381  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
