9========

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000011This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenke86e5a02004-10-17 21:12:06 +000012Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000016
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000018the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000020support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.

30Status:
31=======

33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000035"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200258 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000259
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.

Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.
272
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

275
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700276Board Initialisation Flow:
277--------------------------
278
279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL
281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each
282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this.
283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
284
285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after
286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below.
287
288lowlevel_init():
289 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
290 - no global_data or BSS
291 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
292 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
293 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
294 board_init_f()
295 - this is almost never needed
296 - return normally from this function
297
298board_init_f():
299 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
300 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
301 - global_data is available
302 - stack is in SRAM
303 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
304 only stack variables and global_data
305
306 Non-SPL-specific notes:
307 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
308 can do nothing
309
310 SPL-specific notes:
311 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
312 version as needed.
313 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
314 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
315 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
316 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
317 directly)
318
319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
322memory.
323
324board_init_r():
325 - purpose: main execution, common code
326 - global_data is available
327 - SDRAM is available
328 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
329 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
330
331 Non-SPL-specific notes:
332 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
333 there.
334
335 SPL-specific notes:
336 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
337 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
338 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
339 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
340 spl_board_init() function containing this call
341 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
342
343
344
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000345Configuration Options:
346----------------------
347
348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
349such information is kept in a configuration file
350"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
351
352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
353"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
354
355
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
358build a config tool - later.
359
360
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000361The following options need to be configured:
362
Kim Phillips26281142007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500363- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000364
Kim Phillips26281142007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500365- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.

wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000730 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
731
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -0800732 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000733 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
734 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Kumar Gala4e253132006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600757 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
758
759 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
760 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000761
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600762 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
763
764 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
765 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
766 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
767 the kernel.
768
Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500769 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
770
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200771 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500772 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
773
Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200774 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
775
776 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
777 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
778 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
779 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
780 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
781 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
782
Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000783 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
784
785 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
786 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
787 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
788 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
789 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
790 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
791 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
792
Niklaus Giger0b2f4ec2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100793- vxWorks boot parameters:

795 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
796 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
797 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
798
799 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
800 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address

802 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
803
804 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
805
806 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
807
808 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
809 the defaults discussed just above.

wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000824
825 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
826
Andreas Engel48d01922008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200827 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000828
829 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
830
831 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
832
833 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
834 the clock speed of the UARTs.
835
836 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
837
838 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
839 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
840 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
841
John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000842 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
843
844 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
845 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
846 this variable to initialize the extra register.
847
848 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
849
850 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
851 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
852 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000859- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000860 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
861 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
862 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
863 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000864
865 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
866 port routines must be defined elsewhere
867 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
868
869 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
870 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000908 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
909 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
910 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
911
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000912 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is

918 the "silent" environment variable. See
919 doc/README.silent for more information.

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100932- Console Rx buffer length
933 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
934 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100935 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100936 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
937 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
938 the SMC.
939
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000940- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200941 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
942 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
943 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
944 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
945 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
946 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
947 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200948 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200949 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000950
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200951 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
952 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000953
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000954- Safe printf() functions
955 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
956 the printf() functions. These are defined in
957 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
958 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
959 If this option is not given then these functions will
960 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
961 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
962
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000963- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
964 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
965 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000966 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
967 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000968
969 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
970 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
971 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
972 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
973 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
974 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
975 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
976 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
977 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
978 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
979 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
980 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
981
982- Autoboot Command:
983 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
984 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
985 define a command string that is automatically executed
986 when no character is read on the console interface
987 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
988
989 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000990 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
991 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
992 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000993
994 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000995 The value of these goes into the environment as
996 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
997 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200998 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000999
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +01001000- Bootcount:
1001 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1002 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1003 cycle, see:
1004 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1005
1006 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1007 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1008 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1009 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1010 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1011 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1012 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1013 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1014 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1015
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001016- Pre-Boot Commands:
1017 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1018
1019 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1020 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1021 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1022 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1023 entering interactive mode.
1024
1025 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1026 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1027 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1028 modified when the user holds down a certain
1029 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1030 booting the systems
1031
1032- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1033 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1034 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1035 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1036 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1037 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1038 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1039 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1040
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001041- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)

1046- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001047 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1048 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +00001049 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1050 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001051 and augmenting with additional #define's

Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001175 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001176 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1177 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1178 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1179 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1180 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1181 initial stack and some data.

1184 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1185
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001186- Regular expression support:
1187 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001188 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1189 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1190 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1191 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001192
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001193- Device tree:
1194 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1195 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1196 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1197 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1198 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1199 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1200
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001201 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1202 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001203
1204 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1205 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1206 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1207 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1208 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1209 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001210
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001211 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1212 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1213 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1214 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1215
1216 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1217
1218 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1219 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1220 still use the individual files if you need something more
1221 exotic.
1222
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001223- Watchdog:
1224 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1225 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001226 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1227 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1228 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1229 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1230 available, then no further board specific code should
1231 be needed to use it.
1232
1233 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1234 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1235 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1236 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001237
Heiko Schocher7bae0d62015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001238 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1239 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1240
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001241- U-Boot Version:
1242 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1243 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1244 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1245 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001246 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1247 next reset.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001249- Real-Time Clock:
1250
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001251 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001252 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1253 following options:
1254
1255 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1256 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC

1268 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001269
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001270 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1271 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1272
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001273- GPIO Support:
1274 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001275
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001276 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1277 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1278 pins supported by a particular chip.
1279
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001280 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1281 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1282
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001283- I/O tracing:
1284 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1285 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1286 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1287 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1288 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1289 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1290 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1291 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1292
1293 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1294 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1295 still continue to operate.
1296
1297 iotrace is enabled
1298 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1299 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1300 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1301 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1302 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1303 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1304
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001305- Timestamp Support:
1306
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001307 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1308 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1309 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001310 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001311
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001312- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:

Igor Grinbergd70a5602011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001635- ULPI Layer Support:
1636 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1637 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1638 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1639 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1640 viewport is supported.
1641 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1642 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001643 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1644 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1645 the appropriate value in Hz.

1675 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1676 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1677
1678 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1679 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1680 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1681 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1682 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1683
1684 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1685 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1686

1691 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1692 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1693 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1694 one that would help mostly the developer.
1695
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001696 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1697 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1698 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1699 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1700 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1701
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001702 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1703 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1704 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1705 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1706 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1707 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1708
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001709 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1710 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1711 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1712 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1713
1714 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1715 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1716 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1717 sending again an USB request to the device.
1718
Sebastian Siewior3aab70a2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001719- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1720 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1721 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1722 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1723 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1724 used on Android devices.

1727 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1728 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1729 image format header.
1730
1731 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1732 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1733 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1734 downloaded images.
1735
1736 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1737 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1738 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1739 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1740
Steve Raed1b5ed02014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001741 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1742 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1743 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1744 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1745
1746 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1747 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1748 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1749 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1750
Steve Rae0ff7e582014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001751 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1752 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1753 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1754 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1755 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1756 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1757 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1758 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

Hannes Petermaier604c7d42015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001958 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1959
1960 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1961 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1962 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1963 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1964 printed out.
1965 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1966 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1967 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1968 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1969 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1970 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1971 1 = 90 degree rotation
1972 2 = 180 degree rotation
1973 3 = 270 degree rotation
1974
1975 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1976 initialized with 0degree rotation.

wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001988
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001989 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1990 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1991 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001992 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001993 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1994 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1995 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1996 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001997
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001998 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1999
2000 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
2001 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05002002 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00002003 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
2004 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
2005 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
2006 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2007 there is no need to set this option.
2008
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02002009 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2010
2011 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2012 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2013 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2014 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2015 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2016 specify 'm' for centering the image.
2017
2018 Example:
2019 setenv splashpos m,m
2020 => image at center of screen
2021
2022 setenv splashpos 30,20
2023 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
2024
2025 setenv splashpos -10,m
2026 => vertically centered image
2027 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2028
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02002029- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2030
2031 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2032 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2033 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2034
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01002035- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2036
2037 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2038 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2039 bmp command.
2040
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002041- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00002042 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2043
2044 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2045 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2046
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002047- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002048 CONFIG_GZIP
2049
2050 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2051
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002052 CONFIG_BZIP2
2053
2054 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2055 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2056 compressed images are supported.
2057
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002058 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002059 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002060 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002061
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002062 CONFIG_LZMA
2063
2064 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2065 images is included.
2066
2067 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2068 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2069 formula:
2070
2071 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2072
2073 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2074 and Literal pos bits.
2075
2076 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2077 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2078 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2079 a very small buffer.
2080
2081 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2082 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002083 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002084
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002085 CONFIG_LZO
2086
2087 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2088 is included.
2089
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002090- MII/PHY support:

2092
2093 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2094
2095 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2096
2097 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2098
2099 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2100
2101 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002102 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002103
2104 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2105
2106 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2107 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2108 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2109 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2110
2111 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2112
2113 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2114 command issued before MII status register can be read

2137 CONFIG_SERVERIP
2138
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002139 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002140 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.

Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002143 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2144
2145 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2146 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2147
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002148- Gateway IP address:

2151 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2152 default router where packets to other networks are
2153 sent to.
2154 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2155
2156- Subnet mask:
2157 CONFIG_NETMASK
2158
2159 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2160 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2161 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2162 forwarded through a router.
2163 (Environment variable "netmask")
2164
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002165- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2166 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2167
2168 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2169 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002170 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002171 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2172 multicast group.
2173
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002174- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2175 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2176
2177 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2178 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2179 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2180 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2181 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2182 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2183 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2184 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002185 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002186
2187 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2188 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2189 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2190 4th and following
2191 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2192
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002193 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2194
2195 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2196 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2197 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2198 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2199 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2200 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2201 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2202 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2203 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2204 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2205 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2206 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2207 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2208 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2209 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002229 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2230 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002231
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002232 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2233 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2234 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2235 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2236 is not available.
2237
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002238 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2239 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2240 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2241 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2242 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2243 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2244 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002245 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002246
2247 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2248 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2249 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002250 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002251 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2252 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002253
Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002254 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2255
2256 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2257 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2258 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2259 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2260 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2261 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2262 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2263 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2264 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2265 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2266 this delay.
2267
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002268 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2269 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2270 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2271 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2272 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002318- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2319
2320 Several configurations allow to display the current
2321 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2322 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2323 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2324 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2325 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2326 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2327 feature in U-Boot.
2328
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002329 Additional options:
2330
2331 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2332 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2333 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2334 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2335 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2336
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002337 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2338 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2339 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2340 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2341 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2342 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2343
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002344- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2345
2346 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2347 on those systems that support this (optional)
2348 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2349
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002350- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002351
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002352 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2353 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2354 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2355 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2356 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2357 interface.
2358
2359 ported i2c driver to the new framework:

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002529
2530 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2531 provides the following compelling advantages:
2532
2533 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2534 - approved multibus support
2535 - better i2c mux support
2536
2537 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2538
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002539 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2540 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2541 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002542
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002543 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002544 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002545 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2546 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002547 command line interface.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002550
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002551 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002552 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002553
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002554 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002555 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002556 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002557 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002558
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002559 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002560 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002561 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2562 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2563 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002564
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002565 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2566
2567 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2568 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2569 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2570 commands until the slave device responds.
2571
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002572 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

2634 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2635 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002636 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something

2642
2643 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2644 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2645 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2646 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2647
2648 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2649 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002653 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2654 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2655 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2656 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2657 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2658 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2659 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2660 is run early in the boot sequence.

2663
2664 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2665 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2666 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2667 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2668 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2669 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2670 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2671 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002682 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2683 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.

2688 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002689 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS

2728 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2729 between writing the address pointer and reading the

2866- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2867
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002868 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2869 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002870 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002871 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2872 protects these variables from casual modification by
2873 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2874 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002875 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002876
2877 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2878 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002879 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002880 these parameters.
2881
2882 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2883 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002884 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002885 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2886 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2887 read-only.]
2888
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002889 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2890 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2891 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2892 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2893
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002894- Protected RAM:
2895 CONFIG_PRAM
2896
2897 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2898 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2899 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2900 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2901 this default value by defining an environment
2902 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2903 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2904 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2905 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2906 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2907 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2908 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2909
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002910 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002911 saveenv
2912
2913 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2914 either, which results in a memory region that will
2915 not be affected by reboots.
2916
2917 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2918 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2919 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2920 following board configurations are known to be
2921 "pRAM-clean":

2928 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2929 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2930 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2931 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2932 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which

2936 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2937
2938 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2939 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2940 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002941 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002942 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2943 useful during development since you can try to debug
2944 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2945
2946 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2947
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002948 This variable defines the number of retries for
2949 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2950 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2951 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002952
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002953 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2954
2955 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2956
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002957 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2958
2959 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2960 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2961 try longer timeout such as
2962 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002964- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002965 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002966
2967 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2968
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002969 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002970
2971 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2972 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2973 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2974
2975 Note:
2976
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002977 In the current implementation, the local variables
2978 space and global environment variables space are
2979 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2980 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2981 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2982 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2983 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002984
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002985 Global environment variables are those you use
2986 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2987 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2988 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002989
2990 To store commands and special characters in a
2991 variable, please use double quotation marks
2992 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2993 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2994 symbols.

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002996- Command Line Editing and History:
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002997 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2998
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002999 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003000 command line input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02003001
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003002- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003003 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
3004
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003005 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
3006 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003007 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00003008
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003009 For example, place something like this in your
3010 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003011
3012 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
3013 "myvar1=value1\0" \
3014 "myvar2=value2\0"
3015
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003016 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
3017 internal format how the environment is stored by the
3018 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3019 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003020 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003021 You better know what you are doing here.
3022
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003023 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3024 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02003025 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003026 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003027
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00003028 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3029
3030 Define this in order to add variables describing the
3031 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3032 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3033
3034 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3035
3036 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3037 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3038 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3039 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3040 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3041
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00003042 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3043
3044 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3045 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3046 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3047
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003048 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3049
3050 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003051 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003052 that so that the environment is not available until
3053 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3054 this is instead controlled by the value of
3055 /config/load-environment.
3056
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003057- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003058 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3059
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003060 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3061 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3062 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003063
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07003064- Serial Flash support
3065 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3066
3067 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3068 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3069
3070 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3071 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3072 commands.
3073
3074 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3075 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3076 flash is present on the system.
3077
3078 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3079 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3080 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3081 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3082
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003083 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3084
3085 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3086 test ('sf test').
3087
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05303088 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3089
3090 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3091 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3092
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303093 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3094
3095 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3096 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003097 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303098
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003099- SystemACE Support:
3100 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3101
3102 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3103 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003104 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003105 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003106
3107 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003108 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003109
3110 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3111 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3112
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003113- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3114 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3115
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003116 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003117 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003118 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003119 number generator is used.
3120
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003121 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3122 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3123 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3124
3125 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003126 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3127 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3128 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3129 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3130 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3131 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3132
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003133- Hashing support:
3134 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3135
3136 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3137 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3138
3139 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3140
3141 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3142 size a little.
3143
gaurav rana94e3c8c2015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303144 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3145 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3146 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3147 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3148 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3149 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3150 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3151 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3152 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3153 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3154 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3155 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003156
3157 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3158 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3159
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003160- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3161 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3162 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3163 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3164
3165 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3166 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3167 a boot from specific media.
3168
3169 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3170 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3171 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3172 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3173 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3174
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003175- Signing support:
3176 CONFIG_RSA
3177
3178 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003179 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003180
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303181 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3182 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3183 library to function.
3184
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003185 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303186 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3187 mkimage irrespective of this option.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003188
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003189- bootcount support:
3190 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3191
3192 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3193 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3194
3195 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3196 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3197 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3198 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3199 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3200 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3201 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3202 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3203 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3204 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3205 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3206 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3207 the bootcounter.
3208 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

3212
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003213 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3214 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3215 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3216 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3217 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3218 the following checkpoints are implemented:

3463
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003464 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG

Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003469
3470 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3471 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3472 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3473 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3474 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3475 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3476
3477 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3478 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3479 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3480 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3481 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3482
3483 default: 4096
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003484
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003485 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3486 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3487 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3488 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3489 flash), this value is ignored.
3490
3491 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3492 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3493 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3494 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3495 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3496 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3497
3498 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3499 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3500 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3501 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3502 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3503 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3504 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3505 partition.
3506
3507 default: 20
3508
3509 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3510 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3511 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3512 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3513 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3514 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3515 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3516 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3517 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3518 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3519 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3520 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3521
3522 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3523 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3524 without a fastmap.
3525 default: 0
3526
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003527- UBIFS support
3528 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3529
3530 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3531 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3532
3533 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3534
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003535 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003811- Interrupt support (PPC):
3812
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003813 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3814 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003815 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003816 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003817 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003818 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003819 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003820 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3821 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3822 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003824- General:
3825
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003826 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3827 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3828 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003829 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003830 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3831 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3832 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003833
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003834 If there are no modem init strings in the
3835 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3836 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003837 suppressed, though.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003910- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3911 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003912 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003913 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003914 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3915 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3916 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003917 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003918 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003919 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003920
3921 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3922 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3923 be touched.
3924
3925 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3926 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3927 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3928 non page size aligned address and this could cause major

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003950- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003951 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3952 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3953 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3954 flash sector.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003956- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003957 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3958
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003959- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3960 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3961 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3962 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3963 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3964 space.
3965
3966 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3967 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3968 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003969 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003970 U-Boot relocates itself.
3971
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003972 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003973 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3974
Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07003975- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3976 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3977 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3978 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3979
Thierry Reding1dfdd9b2014-12-09 22:25:22 -07003980- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3981 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3982 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3983 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3984 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3985 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3986 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3987 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3988 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3989 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3990 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3991 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3992 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3993 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3994 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3995 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3996
3997 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3998
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003999- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004000 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4001 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004002 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004003 to adjust this setting to your needs.
4004
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004005- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004006 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
4007 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004008 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
4009 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004010 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004011 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004012 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004013 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4014 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4015 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004016
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06004017- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:

4019 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
4020 is enabled.
4021
4022- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
4023 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
4024 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4025
4026- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
4027 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
4028 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00004049 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4050 instead of U-Boot software protection.
4051
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004052- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004053
4054 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4055 without this option such a download has to be
4056 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4057 copy from RAM to flash.
4058
4059 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4060 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004061 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4062 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004063 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4064
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004065- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004066 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00004067 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01004073- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4074 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4075 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4076 to the MTD layer.
4077
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004078- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

4087 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4088 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4089 optionally available.
4090
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05004091- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4092 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4093 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4094 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4095
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02004096- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4097 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4098 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4099 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4100 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4101 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4102 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4103 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4104
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004105- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004106 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4107 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004108 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4109 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004110 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004111 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06004124 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4125 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4126 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4127
4128 The format of the list is:

Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004164- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4165 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4166 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4167 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4168 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4169 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture

Gabe Black0d296cc2014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004179- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4180 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4181 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4182 building U-Boot to enable this.
4183
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004184The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4185of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4186following configurations:
4187
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004188- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4189
4190 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4191 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4192
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004193- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004194
4195 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4196
4197 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4198 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4199 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4200 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4201 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4202 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4203 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4204 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4205 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4206 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4207 between U-Boot and the environment.
4208
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004209 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004210
4211 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4212 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4213 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4214 for this sector is given here.
4215
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004216 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004217
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004218 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004219
4220 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4221 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004222 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004223
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004224 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004225
4226 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4227
4228
4229 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4230 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4231 the environment.
4232
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004233 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004234
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004235 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004236 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004237 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4238 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4239
4240 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4241 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4242 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4243 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4244 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4245 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4246 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4247 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4248 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4249
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004250 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4251 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004252
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004253 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004254 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004255 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004256 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004257
4258BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4259source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4260accordingly!
4261
4262
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004263- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004264
4265 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4266 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4267 environment.
4268
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004269 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4270 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004271
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004272 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004273 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4274 can just be read and written to, without any special
4275 provision.
4276
4277BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004278in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004279console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004280U-Boot will hang.
4281
4282Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4283environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4284keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4285to save the current settings.
4286
4287
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004288- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004289
4290 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4291 device and a driver for it.
4292
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004293 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4294 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004295
4296 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4297 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4298
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004299 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004300 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4301 The default address is zero.
4302
Christian Gmeiner189d2572015-02-11 15:19:31 +01004303 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4304 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4305
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004306 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004307 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4308 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4309 would require six bits.
4310
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004311 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004312 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004313 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004314
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004315 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004316 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4317 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4318
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004319 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004320 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4321 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4322 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4323 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4324 byte chips.
4325
4326 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4327 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4328 in the chip address.
4329
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004330 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004331 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4332
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004333 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4334 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4335 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4336
4337 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4338 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4339 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4340 EEPROM. For example:
4341
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004342 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004343
4344 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4345 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

4361
4362 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4363 want to use for the environment.
4364
4365 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4366 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4367
4368 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4369 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4370 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4371
4372 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4373
4374 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4375
4376 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4377
4378 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4379 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4380 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4381 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4382 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4383
4384 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4385 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4386
4387 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4388
4389 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4390
4391 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4392
4393 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4394
4395 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.

4398
4399 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4400 want to use for the local device's environment.
4401
4402 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4403 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4404
4405 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4406 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4407 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004408 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004409
4410BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4411"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004412environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4413but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004435 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4436
4437 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4438 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4439 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4440 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4441 the range to be avoided.
4442
4443 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4444
4445 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4446 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4447 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4448 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4449 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004451- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4452
4453 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4454 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4455 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4456
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004457- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4458
4459 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4460 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4461 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4462
4463 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4464
4465 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4466

4473
4474 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4475 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4476 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4477

4479 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4480
4481 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4482 when storing the env in UBI.
4483
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004484- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:

4487 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4488
4489 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4490
4491 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4492
4493 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4494 be as following:
4495
4496 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4497 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4498 partition table.
4499 - "D:0": device D.
4500 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4501 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4502 table.
4503 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004504 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004505 partition table then means device D.
4506
4507 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4508
4509 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004510 environment.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004511
4512 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004513 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004514
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004515- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4516
4517 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4518 environment.
4519
4520 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4521
4522 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4523
4524 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4525
4526 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4527 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4528 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4529
4530 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4531 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4532
4533 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4534 area within the specified MMC device.
4535
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004536 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4537 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4538 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4539 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4540 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4541 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4542 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4543
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004544 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4545 MMC sector boundary.
4546
4547 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4548
4549 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4550 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4551 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4552 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4553
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004554 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4555 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4556
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004557 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4558 an MMC sector boundary.
4559
4560 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4561
4562 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4563 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4564 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4565
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004566- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004567
4568 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4569 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4570 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4571 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4572 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4573 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4574 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4575
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004576Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004577has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004578created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004579until then to read environment variables.
4580
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004581The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4582is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4583with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4584necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4585"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4586have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004587
4588Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4589the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004590use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004594
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004595 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004596 also needs to be defined.
4597
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004598- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004600
Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004601- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4602 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4603 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4604 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4605 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4606 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4607
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004608- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4609 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4610 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4611 to do this.
4612
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004613- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4614 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4615 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4616 present.
4617
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004618- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:

4620 build system checks that the actual size does not
4621 exceed it.

4628
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004629- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004631
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004632 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4633 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4634 the IMMR register after a reset.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004635
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004636- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4637 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4638 PowerPC SOCs.
4639
4640- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4641 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4642 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4643
4644 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4645 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4646
4647- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4648 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4649 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004650 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004651 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4652 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4653 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4654
4655 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4656 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4657
4658- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004659 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4660 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004661 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4662 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4663
4664- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4665 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4666 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4667 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4668
4669- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4670 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4671 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4893
4894- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4895 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004896 to the given FEC; i. e.
4897 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004898 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4899
4900 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4901
4902- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4903 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4904 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4905
4906- CONFIG_RMII

Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004940 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004941 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4942 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4943 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004944
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004945 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4946 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4947 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4948 these initializations itself.

4964
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004965- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4966 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4967 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4968 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4969 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4970 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4971 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4972 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4973
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004974- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4975 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4976 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4977 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4978 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4979
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004980- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4981 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4982 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4999
5000The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
5001loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
5002This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5003are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5004within that device.

5014 is also specified.
5015
5016- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5017 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5018 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5019 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5020 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5021
5022- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5023 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5024 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5025 virtual address in NOR flash.
5026
5027- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
5028 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
5029 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
5030
5031- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
5032 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
5033 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5034
5035- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
5036 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5037 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.

Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00005039- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5040 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5041 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00005042 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5043 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
5044 master's memory space.

5047---------------------------------------------------------
5048The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5049"firmware".
5050This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5051are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5052within that device.
5053
5054- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5055 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5056
5057- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5058 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
5059 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5060 is also specified.
5061
5062- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5063 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5064 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5065 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5066 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5067
5068- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5069 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5070 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the

5075
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005076Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5077and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5078all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5079(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5080recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5081which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005083If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5084have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5085you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5086Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5087necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005088
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005089 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5090 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005091
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05005092Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5093 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5094 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5095 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5096
5097 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5098
5099 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5100 be executed on computers running Windows.
5101
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005102U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5103sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005104is done by typing:
5105
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005106 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005107
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005108where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005109rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005110
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005111Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5112 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5113 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5114 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005115 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005116
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005117 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005118 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005119
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005120 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005121 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005122
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005123 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005124
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005125
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005126Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5127images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005128
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005129- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5130- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5131- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005132
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005133By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5134in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5135this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5136
51371. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5138
5139 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005140 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005141 make O=/tmp/build all
5142
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +020051432. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005144
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005145 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005146 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005147 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005148 make all
5149
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005150Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005151variable.
5152
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005153
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005154Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5155for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5156native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005157

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005159If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5160to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5161steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005162
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051631. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005164 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5165 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051662. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5167 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5168 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51693. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5170 your board
51713. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5172 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020051734. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051745. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5175 to be installed on your target system.
51766. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5177 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005180Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5181==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005182
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005183If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5184or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005185provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5186the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005187official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005188
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005189But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5190cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005191the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5192just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005193for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5194select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5195environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5196you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005197
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005198 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005199
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005200or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005201
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005202 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005203
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005204When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5205U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5206setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5207built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5208<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5209location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5210variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005211
5212 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5213 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5214 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5215
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005216With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5217log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5218during the whole build process.

5282======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005283
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005284U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5285can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005286
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005287Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5288"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5289without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5290environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5291working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5292environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005306 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005307
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005308 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5309 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5310 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5311 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5312 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5313 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005314 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5315 bootm_mapsize.
5316
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005317 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005318 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5319 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5320 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5321 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5322 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5323 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005324
5325 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5326 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5327 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5328 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5329 environment variable.

5332 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5333 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5334
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005335 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5336 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5337 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5338 load any image using TFTP

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005340 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5341 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5342 be automatically started (by internally calling
5343 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005344
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005345 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5346 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address

David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005351 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5352 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005353 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5354 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5355 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5356 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5357 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5358 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5359 access it during the boot procedure.
5360
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005361 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5362 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5363 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5364 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5365 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5366 must be accessible by the kernel.
5367
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005368 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5369 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5370 defined.
5371
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005372 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5373 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5374 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5375 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5376 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5377
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005378 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5379 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5380 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5381 is usually what you want since it allows for
5382 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5383 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005384 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005385 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5386 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5387 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5388 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005389
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005390 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5391 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5392 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5393 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5394 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5395 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005396
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005397 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005398
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005399 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5400 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5401 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5402 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5403 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5404 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5405 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005424 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5425 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005426
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005427 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005432 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5433 available network interfaces.
5434 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5435
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005436 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005437 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5438 When set to "once" the network operation will
5439 fail when all the available network interfaces
5440 are tried once without success.
5441 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5442 themselves.

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005446 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005447 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5448 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5449 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5450 is silent.
5451
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005452 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005453 UDP source port.
5454
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005455 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5456 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5457
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005458 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5459 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5460
5461 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5462 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5463 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5464 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5465 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5466 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5467 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5468
5469 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005470 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005473The following image location variables contain the location of images
5474used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5475not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5476variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5477server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5478loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5479flash or offset in NAND flash.
5480
5481*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5482boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5483boards use these variables for other purposes.

5498 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5499 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5500 hostname - Target hostname
5501 ipaddr - see above

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005507There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005508
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005509 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

5511 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005512
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5514the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5515once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005516
5517
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005518Further special Environment Variables:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005520 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5521 with the "version" command. This variable is

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005529Callback functions for environment variables:
5530---------------------------------------------
5531
5532For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005533when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005534be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5535deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5536effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5537
5538The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5539U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5540
5541These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5542static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5543in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5544associations. The list must be in the following format:
5545
5546 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5547 list = entry[,list]
5548
5549If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5550Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5551
5552Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5553with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5554override any association in the static list. You can define
5555CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005556".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005562There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5563the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005568- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5569- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005570- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005571- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5572 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005573 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005574- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5575 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'

5581 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5582 until...do...done, ...
5583- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5584 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5585 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5586 command

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005591(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5592 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5593 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5594 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005595
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005596(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005597 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005598 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5599 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005601Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5602=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005603
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005604Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005605such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5606"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005607
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005608Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5609MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5610"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005611
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005612If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5613in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5614ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5615variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005616
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005617o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5618 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005619
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005620o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5621 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5622 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005623
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005624o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5625 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005626
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005627o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the

5641==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005642
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005643U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5644images in two formats:
5645
5646New uImage format (FIT)
5647-----------------------
5648
5649Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5650to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5651components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5652SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5653
5654
5655Old uImage format
5656-----------------
5657
5658Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5659preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5660details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005681Linux Support:
5682==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005683
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005684Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5685easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5686U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005687
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005688U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5689special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5690"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5691instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5692serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005693
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005694- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5695 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5696 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005697
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005698- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5699 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005700
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005701- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5702 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5703 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5704 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5705 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5706 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005707

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005709Linux HOWTO:
5710============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005711
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005712Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5713---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005714
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005715U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5716configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5717(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5718Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005719
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005720But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005721
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005722Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5723include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005724Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5725and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005726as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005727
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005728Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5729If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5730is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5731doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005733
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005734Configuring the Linux kernel:
5735-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005736
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005737No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5738device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005739
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005740
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005741Building a Linux Image:
5742-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005743
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005744With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5745not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5746"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5747U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5748which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5749100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005750
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005751Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005752
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005753 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005754 make oldconfig
5755 make dep
5756 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005757
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005758The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5759encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5760CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005761
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005762* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005763
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005764* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005765
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005766 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5767 -R .note -R .comment \
5768 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005769
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005770* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005771
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005772 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005773
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005774* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005775
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005776 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5777 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5778 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005779
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005780
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005781The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5782with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5783combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5784byte header containing information about target architecture,
5785operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5786stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005787
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005788"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5789print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005790
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005791In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5792contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5793checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005794
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005795 tools/mkimage -l image
5796 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005797
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005798The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5799from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005800
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005801 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5802 -n name -d data_file image
5803 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5804 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5805 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5806 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5807 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5808 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5809 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5810 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005811
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005812Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5813address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5814kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005815
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005816- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5817- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005818
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005819So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005820

5885-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005886
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005887To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5888you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005889
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005890 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005891
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005892The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5893image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5894address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5895specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5896command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006064More About U-Boot Image Types:
6065------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006066
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006067U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006068
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006069 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6070 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6071 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6072 the Standalone Program.
6073 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6074 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6075 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6076 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6077 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6078 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6079 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6080 being started.
6081 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6082 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6083 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6084 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6085 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6086 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006087
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006088 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6089 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6090 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6091 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6092 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6093 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006094
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006095 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6096 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6097 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006098
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006099 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6100 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6101 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6102 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006104Booting the Linux zImage:
6105-------------------------
6106
6107On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6108using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6109as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6110
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006111Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006112kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6113address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6114format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006119
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006120One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6121run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6122U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006123

6130application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6131It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6132like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006158Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6159handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6160Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6161The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6162character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6163controlled by the following keys:

6227=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006228
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006229Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6230(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006231
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006232Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6233NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6234need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6235Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6236attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6237missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006238
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006239 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6240 # mkdir powerpc
6241 # ln -s powerpc machine
6242 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6243 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006244
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006245Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6246and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006247
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006248Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6249stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6250proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6251tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6256=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006257
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006258The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6259implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6260inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6261hardware.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006264Initial Stack, Global Data:
6265---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006266
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006267The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6268starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6269system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6270This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6271is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6272at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6273options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6274models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6275MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6276locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006277
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006278 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006286 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6287 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6288 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6289 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6290 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006291 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006292 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6293 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006295 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6296 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006297 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006298 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6299 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6300 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6301 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006302
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006303 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006304 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6305 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006306 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006307 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6308 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6309 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6310 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6311 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006316It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6317code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006318
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006319* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6320 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006321
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006322* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006323 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6324 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006325
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006326* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6327 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006328
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006329Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006330normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006331turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6332simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6333functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6334functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6335the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6336place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6337reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006338
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006339When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6340relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6341GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006342
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006343For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6344 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006345 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006346 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6347 R5-R10: parameter passing

6349 R30: GOT pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006352 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6353 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6354 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006358 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6359 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6360 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6361 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6362 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6363 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006411Memory Management:
6412------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006413
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006414U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6415MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006416
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006417The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6418controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6419memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6420physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006421
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006422U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6423TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6424booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6425to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006426memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006427configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6428Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006429
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006430Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6431of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006432
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006433So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like

6457----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006458
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006459In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006460(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006461configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006462To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6463To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6464initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6465which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6466part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6467the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006468
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006469Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6470preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6471(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6472on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6473programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6474simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6475banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006476
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006477When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6478different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6479bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64800x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6481contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006482
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006483Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6484and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6485Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6486pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006487
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006488Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6489until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6490running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6491new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006571All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006572coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006573"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.

Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006575Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6576MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not

6579
6580Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6581Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6582in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006583
6584Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6585- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006586- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006587- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006588- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006589- do not add trailing empty lines to source files

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006598Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6599establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6600may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006604Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6605see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6606
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006607When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6608it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006609
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006610* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6611 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6612 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006613
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006614* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6615 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006616
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006617* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6618
6619* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6620
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006621* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6622 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006623
6624* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6625 document these in the README file.
6626
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006627* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6628 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006629 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006630 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6631 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006632
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006633 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6634 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6635 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006636
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006637 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6638 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6639 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6640 affected files).
6641
6642 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6643 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006644
6645* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6646 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6647
6648* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6649 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6650
6651
6652Notes:
6653
6654* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6655 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6656 for any of the boards.
6657
6658* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6659 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6660 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6661
6662* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6663 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6664 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6665 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6666 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6667 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006668
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006669* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6670 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6671 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6672 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
