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=======
32
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 +0000227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200260 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000261
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530275See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600276
277
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000294The following options need to be configured:
295

628
629 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
630 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
631 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
632 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
633 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
634 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
635 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000636 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of

736 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
737 the clock speed of the UARTs.
738
739 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
740
741 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
742 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
743 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
744
John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000745 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
746
747 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
748 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
749 this variable to initialize the extra register.
750
751 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
752
753 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
754 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
755 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000762- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000763 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
764 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
765 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
766 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000767
768 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
769 port routines must be defined elsewhere
770 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
771
772 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

812 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
813 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
814
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000815 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is

821 the "silent" environment variable. See
822 doc/README.silent for more information.

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100835- Console Rx buffer length
836 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
837 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100838 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100839 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
840 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
841 the SMC.
842
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000843- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200844 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
845 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
846 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
847 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
848 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
849 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
850 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200851 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200852 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000853
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200854 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
855 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000856
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000857- Safe printf() functions
858 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
859 the printf() functions. These are defined in
860 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
861 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
862 If this option is not given then these functions will
863 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
864 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
865
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000866- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
867 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
868 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000869 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
870 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000871
872 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
873 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
874 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
875 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
877 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
878 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
879 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
880 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
881 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
882 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
883 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
884
885- Autoboot Command:
886 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
887 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
888 define a command string that is automatically executed
889 when no character is read on the console interface
890 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
891
892 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000893 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
894 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
895 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000896
897 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000898 The value of these goes into the environment as
899 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
900 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200901 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000902
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100903- Bootcount:
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
905 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
906 cycle, see:
907 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
908
909 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
910 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
911 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
912 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
913 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
914 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
915 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
916 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
917 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
918
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000919- Pre-Boot Commands:
920 CONFIG_PREBOOT
921
922 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
923 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
924 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
925 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
926 entering interactive mode.
927
928 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
929 automatically generated or modified. For an example
930 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
931 modified when the user holds down a certain
932 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
933 booting the systems
934
935- Serial Download Echo Mode:
936 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
937 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
938 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
939 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
940 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
941 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
942 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
943
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500944- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000945 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
946 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200947 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000948
949- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500950 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
951 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000952 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
953 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500954 and augmenting with additional #define's
955 for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001075
1076 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001077 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001078 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1079 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1080 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1081 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1082 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1083 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001084

1086 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1087
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001088- Regular expression support:
1089 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001090 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1091 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1092 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1093 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001094
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001095- Device tree:
1096 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1097 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1098 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1099 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1100 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1101 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1102
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001103 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1104 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001105
1106 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1107 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1108 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1109 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1110 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1111 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001112
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001113 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1114 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1115 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1116 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1117
1118 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1119
1120 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1121 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1122 still use the individual files if you need something more
1123 exotic.
1124
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001125- Watchdog:
1126 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1127 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001128 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1129 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1130 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1131 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1132 available, then no further board specific code should
1133 be needed to use it.
1134
1135 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1136 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1137 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1138 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001139
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001140- U-Boot Version:
1141 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1142 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1143 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1144 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001145 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1146 next reset.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001147
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001148- Real-Time Clock:
1149
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001150 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001151 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1152 following options:
1153
1154 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1155 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001156 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001157 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1cb8e982003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001158 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001159 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk7f70e852003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001160 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel412921d2014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001161 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenk3bac3512003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001162 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krill9536dfc2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001163 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenk4c0d4c32004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001164 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001165 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001166 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1167 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001168
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001169 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1170 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1171
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001172- GPIO Support:
1173 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001174
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001175 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1176 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1177 pins supported by a particular chip.
1178
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001179 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1180 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1181
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001182- I/O tracing:
1183 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1184 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1185 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1186 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1187 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1188 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1189 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1190 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1191
1192 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1193 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1194 still continue to operate.
1195
1196 iotrace is enabled
1197 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1198 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1199 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1200 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1201 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1202 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1203
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001204- Timestamp Support:
1205
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001206 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1207 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1208 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001209 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001210
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001211- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1212 Zero or more of the following:
1213 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1214 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1215 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1216 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1217 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1218 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1219 disk/part_efi.c
1220 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001221
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001222 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1223 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001224 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001225
1226- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001227 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1228 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001229
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001230 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1231 be performed by calling the function
1232 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1233 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001234
1235- ATAPI Support:
1236 CONFIG_ATAPI
1237
1238 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1239
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001240- LBA48 Support
1241 CONFIG_LBA48
1242
1243 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher4b142fe2009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001244 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001245 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1246 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1247
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001248 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001249 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1250 Default is 32bit.
1251
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001252- SCSI Support:
1253 At the moment only there is only support for the
1254 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1255 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1256
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001257 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1258 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1259 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001260 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1261 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001262 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001263
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001264 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1265 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
Stefan Reinauer447c0312012-10-29 05:23:48 +00001266
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001267- NETWORK Support (PCI):

Kyle Moffettce5207e2011-10-18 11:05:29 +00001269 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1270
1271 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1272 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1273 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1274 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1275
1276 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1277 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1278 example with the "sspi" command.
1279
1280 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1281 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1282 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00001283
Andre Schwarzac3315c2008-03-06 16:45:44 +01001284 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC

Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001595 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1596 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1597 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1598 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1599 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1600
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001601 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1602 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1603 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1604 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1605 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1606 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1607
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001608 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1609 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1610 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1611 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1612
1613 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1614 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1615 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1616 sending again an USB request to the device.

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001833 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1834
1835 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1836 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1837 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1838 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1839 a per-section basis.
1840

1842
1843 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1844 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1845 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1846 is slow.

wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001857- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001858
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001859 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1860 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1861 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001862 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001863 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1864 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1865 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1866 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001867
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001868 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1869
1870 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1871 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001872 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001873 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1874 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1875 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1876 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1877 there is no need to set this option.
1878
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001879 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1880
1881 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1882 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1883 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1884 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1885 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1886 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1887
1888 Example:
1889 setenv splashpos m,m
1890 => image at center of screen
1891
1892 setenv splashpos 30,20
1893 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1894
1895 setenv splashpos -10,m
1896 => vertically centered image
1897 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1898
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001899- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1900
1901 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1902 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1903 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1904
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001905- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1906
1907 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1908 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1909 bmp command.
1910
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001911- Do compresssing for memory range:
1912 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1913
1914 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1915 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1916
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001917- Compression support:

1920 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1921
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001922 CONFIG_BZIP2
1923
1924 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1925 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1926 compressed images are supported.
1927
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001928 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001929 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001930 be at least 4MB.

Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001932 CONFIG_LZMA
1933
1934 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1935 images is included.
1936
1937 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1938 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1939 formula:
1940
1941 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1942
1943 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1944 and Literal pos bits.
1945
1946 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1947 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1948 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1949 a very small buffer.
1950
1951 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1952 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001953 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001954
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001955 CONFIG_LZO

1971 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001972 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001973
1974 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1975
1976 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1977 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1978 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1979 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1980
1981 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1982

David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002035- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2036 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2037
2038 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2039 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002040 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002041 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2042 multicast group.
2043
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002044- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2045 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2046
2047 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2048 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2049 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2050 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2051 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2052 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2053 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2054 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002055 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002056
2057 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2058 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2059 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2060 4th and following
2061 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2062
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002063 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2064
2065 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2066 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2067 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2068 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2069 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2070 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2071 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2072 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2073 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2074 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2075 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2076 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2077 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2078 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2079 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002099 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2100 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.

Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002102 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2103 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2104 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2105 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2106 is not available.
2107
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002108 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2109 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2110 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2111 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2112 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2113 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2114 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002115 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002116
2117 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2118 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2119 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002120 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002121 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2122 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002124 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2125
2126 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2127 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2128 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2129 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2130 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2131 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2132 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2133 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2134 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2135 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2136 this delay.
2137
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002138 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2139 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2140 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2141 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2142 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2143
2144 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002188- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2189
2190 Several configurations allow to display the current
2191 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2192 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2193 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2194 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2195 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2196 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2197 feature in U-Boot.
2198
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002199 Additional options:
2200
2201 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2202 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2203 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2204 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2205 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2206
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002207 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2208 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2209 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2210 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2211 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2212 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2213
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002214- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2215
2216 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2217 on those systems that support this (optional)
2218 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002348 additional defines:
2349
2350 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2351 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2352 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2353 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2354 omit this define.
2355
2356 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2357 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2358 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2359 omit this define.
2360
2361 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2362 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2363 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2364 define.
2365
2366 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2367 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2368 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2369 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2370 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002396- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002397
2398 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2399 provides the following compelling advantages:
2400
2401 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2402 - approved multibus support
2403 - better i2c mux support
2404
2405 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2406
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002407 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2408 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2409 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002410
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002411 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002412 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002413 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2414 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002415 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002416
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002417 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002418
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002419 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002420 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002421
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002422 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002423 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002424 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002425 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002426
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002427 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002428 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002429 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2430 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2431 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002432
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002433 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2434
2435 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2436 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2437 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2438 commands until the slave device responds.
2439
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002440 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002441
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002442 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002443 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2444 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002445
2446 I2C_INIT
2447
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002448 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002449 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002450
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002451 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002452
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002453 I2C_PORT
2454
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002455 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2456 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2457 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002458
2459 I2C_ACTIVE
2460
2461 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2462 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2463 define can be null.
2464
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002465 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2466
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002467 I2C_TRISTATE
2468
2469 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2470 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2471 define can be null.
2472
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002473 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2474
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002475 I2C_READ
2476
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002477 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2478 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002479
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002480 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2481
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002482 I2C_SDA(bit)
2483
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002484 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2485 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002486
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002487 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002488 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \

wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002490
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002491 I2C_SCL(bit)
2492
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002493 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2494 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002495
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002496 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00002497 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002498 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002499
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002500 I2C_DELAY
2501
2502 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2503 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002504 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002505 like:
2506
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002507 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002508
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002509 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2510
2511 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2512 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2513 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2514 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2515
2516 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2517 the generic GPIO functions.
2518
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002519 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002520
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002521 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2522 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2523 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2524 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2525 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2526 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2527 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2528 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002529
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002530 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2531
2532 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2533 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2534 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2535 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2536 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2537 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2538 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2539 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2540
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002541 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2542
2543 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2544 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2545 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2546
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002547 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2548
2549 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002550 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2551 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002552 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2553
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002554 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002555
2556 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002557 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002558 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2559 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002560
2561 e.g.
2562 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002563 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002564
2565 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2566
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002567 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002568 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002569
2570 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2571
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002572 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e61812006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002573
2574 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2575 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2576
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002577 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002578
2579 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2580 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2581
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002582 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002583
2584 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2585 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2586
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002587 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002588
2589 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2590 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2591 specified DTT device.
2592
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002593 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2594
2595 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2596 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2597 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2598 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2599 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2600 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2601 the other.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002621 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2622 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2623 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2624 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2625 defined, the board configuration must define several
2626 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2627 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2631 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2632 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2633 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.

2720- Configuration Management:
Stefan Roeseb2b8a692014-10-22 12:13:24 +02002721 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2722
2723 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2724 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2725 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2726 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2727 make / MAKEALL.
2728
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002729 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2730
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002731 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2732 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002733
2734- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2735
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002736 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2737 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002738 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002739 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2740 protects these variables from casual modification by
2741 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2742 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002743 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002744
2745 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2746 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002747 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002748 these parameters.
2749
2750 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2751 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002752 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002753 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2754 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2755 read-only.]
2756
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002757 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2758 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2759 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2760 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2761
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002762- Protected RAM:
2763 CONFIG_PRAM
2764
2765 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2766 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2767 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2768 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2769 this default value by defining an environment
2770 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2771 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2772 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2773 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2774 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2775 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2776 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2777
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002778 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002779 saveenv
2780
2781 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2782 either, which results in a memory region that will
2783 not be affected by reboots.
2784
2785 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2786 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2787 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2788 following board configurations are known to be
2789 "pRAM-clean":
2790
Wolfgang Denk1b0757e2012-10-24 02:36:15 +00002791 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002794
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002795- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2796 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2797 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2798 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2799 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2800 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2801 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2802
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002803- Error Recovery:
2804 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2805
2806 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2807 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2808 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002809 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002810 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2811 useful during development since you can try to debug
2812 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2813
2814 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2815
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002816 This variable defines the number of retries for
2817 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2818 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2819 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002820
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002821 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2822
2823 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2824
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002825 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2826
2827 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2828 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2829 try longer timeout such as
2830 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2831
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002832- Command Interpreter:

wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002834
2835 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2836
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002837 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002838
2839 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2840 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2841 powerful command line syntax like
2842 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2843 constructs ("shell scripts").
2844
2845 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2846 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2847
2848
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002849 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002850
2851 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2852 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2853 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2854
2855 Note:
2856
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002857 In the current implementation, the local variables
2858 space and global environment variables space are
2859 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2860 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2861 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2862 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2863 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002864
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002865 Global environment variables are those you use
2866 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2867 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2868 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002869
2870 To store commands and special characters in a
2871 variable, please use double quotation marks
2872 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2873 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2874 symbols.

2884
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002885 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2886 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002887 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002888
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002889 For example, place something like this in your
2890 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002891
2892 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2893 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2894 "myvar2=value2\0"
2895
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002896 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2897 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2898 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2899 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002900 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002901 You better know what you are doing here.
2902
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002903 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2904 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002905 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002906 boot command first.

Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002908 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2909
2910 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2911 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2912 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2913
2914 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2915
2916 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2917 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2918 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2919 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR

2925 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2926 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2927
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002928 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2929
2930 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2931 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2932 that so that the environment is not available until
2933 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2934 this is instead controlled by the value of
2935 /config/load-environment.

2946
2947 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2948 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2949
2950 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2951 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2952 commands.
2953
2954 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2955 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2956 flash is present on the system.
2957
2958 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2959 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2960 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2961 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2962
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002963 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2964
2965 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2966 test ('sf test').
2967
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302968 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2969
2970 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2971 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2972
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302973 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2974
2975 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2976 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2977 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2978
Heiko Schocher562f8df2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02002979 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
2980 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
2981 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
2982 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
2983 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
2984 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
2985 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
2986 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
2987 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
2988 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
2989
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002990- SystemACE Support:
2991 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2992
2993 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2994 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002995 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002996 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002997
2998 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002999 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003000
3001 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3002 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3003
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003004- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3005 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3006
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003007 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003008 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003009 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003010 number generator is used.
3011
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003012 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3013 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3014 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3015
3016 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003017 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3018 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3019 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3020 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3021 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3022 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3023
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003024- Hashing support:
3025 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3026
3027 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3028 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3029
3030 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3031
3032 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3033 size a little.
3034
3035 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3036 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3037
3038 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3039 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3040
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003041- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3042 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3043 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3044 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3045
3046 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3047 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3048 a boot from specific media.
3049
3050 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3051 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3052 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3053 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3054 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3055
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003056- Signing support:
3057 CONFIG_RSA
3058
3059 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003060 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003061
3062 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3063 option.
3064
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003065- bootcount support:
3066 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3067
3068 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3069 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3070
3071 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3072 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3073 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3074 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3075 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3076 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3077 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3078 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3079 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3080 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3081 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3082 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3083 the bootcounter.
3084 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003085
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003086- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003087 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3088
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003089 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3090 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3091 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3092 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3093 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3094 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003095
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003096- Detailed boot stage timing
3097 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3098 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3099 of the boot process.
3100
3101 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3102 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3103 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3104 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3105 the limit, recording will stop.
3106
3107 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3108 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3109
3110 Timer summary in microseconds:
3111 Mark Elapsed Stage
3112 0 0 reset
3113 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3114 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3115 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
3116 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
3117 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
3118 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3119 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3120
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003121 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3122 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3123 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3124
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003125 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3126 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3127 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3128 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3129 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3130 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3131 For example:
3132
3133 bootstage {
3134 154 {
3135 name = "board_init_f";
3136 mark = <3575678>;
3137 };
3138 170 {
3139 name = "lcd";
3140 accum = <33482>;
3141 };
3142 };
3143
3144 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3316 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3317 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3318 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3319 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3320 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3321 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3322
Simon Glass3e569a62013-06-13 15:10:00 -07003323 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3324 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3325 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See
3326 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3327
Heiko Schocher21d29f72014-05-28 11:33:33 +02003328 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3329 signature check the legacy image format is default
3330 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3331 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY

Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003338- Standalone program support:
3339 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3340
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003341 This option defines a board specific value for the
3342 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3343 overwriting the architecture dependent default
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003344 settings.
3345
3346- Frame Buffer Address:
3347 CONFIG_FB_ADDR

3349 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
Wolfgang Denk44a53b52013-01-03 00:43:59 +00003350 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case
3351 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3352 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3353 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3354 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3355 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3356 configured panel size.

3381
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003382- UBI support
3383 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3384
3385 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3386 with the UBI flash translation layer
3387
3388 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3389
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003390 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3391
3392 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3393 warnings and errors enabled.
3394
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003395
3396 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3397 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3398 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3399 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3400 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3401 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3402
3403 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3404 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3405 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3406 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3407 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3408
3409 default: 4096
3410
3411 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3412 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3413 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3414 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3415 flash), this value is ignored.
3416
3417 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3418 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3419 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3420 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3421 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3422 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3423
3424 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3425 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3426 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3427 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3428 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3429 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3430 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3431 partition.
3432
3433 default: 20
3434
3435 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3436 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3437 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3438 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3439 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3440 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3441 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3442 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3443 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3444 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3445 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3446 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3447
3448 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3449 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3450 without a fastmap.
3451 default: 0
3452
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003453- UBIFS support
3454 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3455
3456 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3457 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3458
3459 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3460
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003461 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003667 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
Benoît Thébaudeau6113d3f2013-04-11 09:35:49 +00003668 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3669 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3670 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3671 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3672 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003673
Scott Woodca2fca22012-09-21 16:27:32 -05003674 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3675 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3676 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3677 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3678
Simon Glass87ebee32013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003679 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3680 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3681 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3682 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3683 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003699[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003700
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003701- Modem support enable:

3705 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3706
3707- Modem debug support:
3708 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3709
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003710 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3711 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003712
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003713- Interrupt support (PPC):
3714
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003715 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3716 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003717 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003718 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003719 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003720 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003721 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003722 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3723 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3724 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003726- General:
3727
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003728 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3729 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3730 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003731 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003732 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3733 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3734 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003735
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003736 If there are no modem init strings in the
3737 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3738 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003739 suppressed, though.

3744------------------------------
3745
3746During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3747to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3748before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3749following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3750architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3751typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003788
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003789- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003790 If the board specific function
3791 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3792 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003793 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3794
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003795- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003796 Enable the call to overwrite_console().
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003797
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003798- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003799 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3800
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003801- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003802 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3803 simple memory test.
3804
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003805- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003806 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003807
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003808- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5f535fe2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003809 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3810 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3811
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003812- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3813 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003814 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003815 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003816 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3817 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3818 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003819 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003820 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003821 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003822
3823 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3824 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3825 be touched.
3826
3827 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3828 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3829 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3830 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3831 problems.
3832
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003833- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003837 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3838
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003839- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003840 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3841 Cogent motherboard)
3842
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003843- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003844 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3845
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003846- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003847 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3848 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk14d0a022010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003849 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003850 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003851
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003852- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003853 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3854 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3855 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3856 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003857
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003858- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003859 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3860
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003861- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3862 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3863 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3864 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3865 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3866 space.
3867
3868 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3869 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3870 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3871 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3872 U-Boot relocates itself.
3873
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003874 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003875 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3876
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003877- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003878 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3879 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003880 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003881 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3882
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003883- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003884 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3885 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003886 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3887 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003888 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003889 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003890 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003891 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3892 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3893 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003894
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003895- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3896 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3897 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3898 is enabled.
3899
3900- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3901 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3902 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3903
3904- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3905 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3906 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3907

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003927 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3928 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3929
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003930- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003931
3932 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3933 without this option such a download has to be
3934 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3935 copy from RAM to flash.
3936
3937 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3938 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003939 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3940 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003941 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3942
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003943- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003944 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003945 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3946

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003951- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3952 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3953 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3954 to the MTD layer.
3955
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003956- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003964 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3965 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3966 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3967 optionally available.
3968
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003969- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3970 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3971 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3972 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3973
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003974- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3975 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3976 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3977 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3978 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3979 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3980 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3981 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3982
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003983- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003984 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3985 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003986 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3987 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003988 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003989 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

4000- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004001 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06004002 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4003 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4004 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4005
4006 The format of the list is:
4007 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]

4030
4031 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4032 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4033 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"

Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004042- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4043 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4044 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4045 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4046 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4047 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4048 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4049 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4050 your board please report the problem and send patches!

Gabe Black0d296cc2014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004057- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4058 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4059 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4060 building U-Boot to enable this.
4061
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004062The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4063of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4064following configurations:
4065
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004066- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4067
4068 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4069 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4070
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004071- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004072
4073 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4074
4075 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4076 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4077 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4078 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4079 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4080 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4081 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4082 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4083 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4084 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4085 between U-Boot and the environment.
4086
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004087 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004088
4089 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4090 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4091 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4092 for this sector is given here.
4093
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004094 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004095
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004096 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004097
4098 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4099 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004100 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004101
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004102 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004103
4104 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4105
4106
4107 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4108 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4109 the environment.
4110
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004111 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004112
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004113 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004114 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004115 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4116 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4117
4118 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4119 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4120 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4121 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4122 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4123 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4124 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4125 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4126 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4127
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004128 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4129 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004130
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004131 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004132 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004133 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004134 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004135
4136BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4137source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4138accordingly!
4139
4140
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004141- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004142
4143 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4144 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4145 environment.
4146
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004147 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4148 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004149
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004150 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004151 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4152 can just be read and written to, without any special
4153 provision.
4154
4155BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4156in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004157console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004158U-Boot will hang.
4159
4160Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4161environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4162keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4163to save the current settings.
4164
4165
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004166- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004167
4168 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4169 device and a driver for it.
4170
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004171 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4172 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004173
4174 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4175 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4176
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004177 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004178 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4179 The default address is zero.
4180
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004181 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004182 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4183 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4184 would require six bits.
4185
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004186 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004187 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004188 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004189
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004190 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004191 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4192 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4193
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004194 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004195 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4196 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4197 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4198 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4199 byte chips.
4200
4201 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4202 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4203 in the chip address.

4210 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4211
4212 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4213 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4214 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4215 EEPROM. For example:
4216
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004217 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004218
4219 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over

4239
4240 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4241 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4242
4243 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the

4275 want to use for the local device's environment.
4276
4277 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4278 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4279
4280 These two #defines specify the address and size of the

4285BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4286"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004287environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4288but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004310 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4311
4312 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4313 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4314 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4315 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4316 the range to be avoided.
4317
4318 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4319
4320 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4321 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4322 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4323 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004326- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4327
4328 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4329 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4330 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4331
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004332- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4333
4334 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4335 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4336 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4337
4338 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4339
4340 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4341
4342 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4343
4344 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4345 environment in.
4346
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004347 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4348
4349 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4350 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4351 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4352
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004353 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4354 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4355
4356 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4357 when storing the env in UBI.
4358
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004359- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4360 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4361
4362 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4363
4364 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4365
4366 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4367
4368 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4369 be as following:
4370
4371 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4372 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4373 partition table.
4374 - "D:0": device D.
4375 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4376 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4377 table.
4378 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4379 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4380 partition table then means device D.
4381
4382 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4383
4384 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4385 envrionment.
4386
4387 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4388 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4389
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004390- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4391
4392 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4393 environment.
4394
4395 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4396
4397 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4398
4399 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4400
4401 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4402 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4403 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4404
4405 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4406 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4407
4408 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4409 area within the specified MMC device.
4410
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004411 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4412 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4413 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4414 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4415 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4416 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4417 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4418
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004419 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4420 MMC sector boundary.
4421
4422 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4423
4424 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4425 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4426 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4427 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4428
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004429 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4430 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4431
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004432 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4433 an MMC sector boundary.
4434
4435 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4436
4437 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4438 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4439 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4440
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004441- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004442
4443 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4444 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4445 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4446 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4447 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4448 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4449 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4450
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004451Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004452has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004453created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004454until then to read environment variables.
4455
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004456The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4457is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4458with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4459necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4460"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4461have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004462
4463Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4464the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004465use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004471 also needs to be defined.
4472
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004473- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004476- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4477 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4478 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4479 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4480 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4481 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4482
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004483- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4484 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4485 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4486 to do this.
4487
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004488- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4489 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4490 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4491 present.
4492
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004493- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4494 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004511- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4512 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4513 PowerPC SOCs.
4514
4515- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4516 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4517 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4518
4519 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4520 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4521
4522- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4523 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4524 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004525 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004526 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4527 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4528 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4529
4530 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4531 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4532
4533- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004534 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4535 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004536 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4537 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4538
4539- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4540 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4541 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4542 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4543
4544- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4545 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4546 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

4605 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial

Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004809 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004810 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4811 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4812 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004813
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004814 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4815 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4816 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4817 these initializations itself.

4827 It is loaded by the SPL.
4828
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004829- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4830 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4831 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4832 previous 4k of the .text section.
4833
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004834- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4835 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4836 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4837 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4838 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4839 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4840 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4841 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4842
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004843- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY

4845 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4846 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4847 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4848
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004849- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4850 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4851 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004866Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4867-----------------------------------
4868
4869The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4870loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4871This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4872are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4873within that device.
4874
Zhao Qiangdcf1d772014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004875- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4876 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4877 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4878 is also specified.
4879
4880- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4881 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004882 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4883 is also specified.
4884
4885- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4886 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4887 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4888 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4889 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4890
4891- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4892 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4893 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4894 virtual address in NOR flash.
4895
4896- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4897 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4898 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4899
4900- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4901 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4902 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4903
4904- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4905 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4906 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4907
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004908- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4909 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4910 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004911 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4912 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4913 master's memory space.

J. German Riverab940ca62014-06-23 15:15:55 -07004915Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4916---------------------------------------------------------
4917The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4918"firmware".
4919This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4920are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4921within that device.
4922
4923- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4924 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4925
4926- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4927 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4928 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4929 is also specified.
4930
4931- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4932 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4933 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4934 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4935 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4936
4937- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4938 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4939 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4940 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004942Building the Software:
4943======================
4944
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004945Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4946and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4947all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4948(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4949recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4950which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004951
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004952If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4953have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4954you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4955Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4956necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004957
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004958 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4959 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004960
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004961Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4962 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4963 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4964 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4965
4966 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4967
4968 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4969 be executed on computers running Windows.
4970
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004971U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4972sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004973is done by typing:
4974
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004975 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004976
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004977where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004978rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004979
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004980Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4981 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4982 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4983 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004984 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004985
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004986 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004987 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004988
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004989 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004990 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004991
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004992 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004993
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004994
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004995Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4996images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004997
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004998- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4999- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5000- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005001
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005002By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5003in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5004this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5005
50061. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5007
5008 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005009 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005010 make O=/tmp/build all
5011
50122. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
5013
5014 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5015 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005016 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005017 make all
5018
5019Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
5020variable.
5021
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005022
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005023Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5024for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5025native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005026
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005027
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005028If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5029to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5030steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005031
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050321. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005033 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5034 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050352. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5036 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5037 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
50383. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5039 your board
50403. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5041 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050424. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050435. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5044 to be installed on your target system.
50456. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5046 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005049Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5050==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005051
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005052If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5053or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005054provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5055the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005056official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005057
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005058But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5059cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005060the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5061just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005062for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5063select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5064environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5065you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005066
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005067 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005068
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005069or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005070
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005071 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005072
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005073When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5074U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5075setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5076built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5077<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5078location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5079variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005080
5081 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5082 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5083 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5084
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005085With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5086log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5087during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005150Environment Variables:
5151======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005152
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005153U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5154can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005155
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005156Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5157"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5158without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5159environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5160working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5161environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005162
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005163Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5164
5165List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005166
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005167 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005168
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005169 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005170
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005171 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005172
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005173 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005174
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005175 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005176
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005177 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5178 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5179 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5180 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5181 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5182 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005183 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5184 bootm_mapsize.
5185
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005186 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005187 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5188 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5189 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5190 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5191 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5192 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005193
5194 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5195 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5196 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5197 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5198 environment variable.
5199
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005200 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5201 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5202 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5203
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005204 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5205 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5206 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5207 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005208
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005209 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5210 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5211 be automatically started (by internally calling
5212 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005213
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005214 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5215 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5216 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5217 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5218 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005219
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005220 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5221 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005222 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5223 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5224 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5225 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5226 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5227 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5228 access it during the boot procedure.
5229
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005230 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5231 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5232 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5233 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5234 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5235 must be accessible by the kernel.
5236
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005237 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5238 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5239 defined.
5240
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005241 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5242 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5243 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5244 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5245 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5246
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005247 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5248 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5249 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5250 is usually what you want since it allows for
5251 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5252 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005253 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005254 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5255 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5256 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5257 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005258
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005259 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5260 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5261 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5262 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5263 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5264 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005265
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005266 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005267
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005268 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5269 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5270 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5271 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5272 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5273 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5274 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005275
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005276 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005290
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005291 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005292
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005293 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5294 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005295
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005296 => setenv ethact FEC
5297 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5298 => setenv ethact SCC
5299 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005300
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005301 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5302 available network interfaces.
5303 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5304
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005305 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005306 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5307 When set to "once" the network operation will
5308 fail when all the available network interfaces
5309 are tried once without success.
5310 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5311 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005312
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005313 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005314
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005315 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5316 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5317 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5318 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5319 is silent.
5320
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005321 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005322 UDP source port.
5323
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005324 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5325 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5326
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005327 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5328 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5329
5330 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5331 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5332 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5333 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5334 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5335 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5336 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5337
5338 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005339 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005340 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005341
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005342The following image location variables contain the location of images
5343used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5344not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5345variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5346server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5347loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5348flash or offset in NAND flash.
5349
5350*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5351boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5352boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005361The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5362updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5363depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005364
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005365 bootfile - see above
5366 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5367 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5368 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5369 hostname - Target hostname
5370 ipaddr - see above
5371 netmask - Subnet Mask
5372 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5373 serverip - see above
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005374
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005375
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005376There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005377
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005378 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5379 as type string and/or serial number
5380 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005381
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005382These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5383the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5384once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005385
5386
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005387Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005388
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005389 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5390 with the "version" command. This variable is
5391 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005398Callback functions for environment variables:
5399---------------------------------------------
5400
5401For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5402when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5403be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5404deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5405effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5406
5407The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5408U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5409
5410These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5411static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5412in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5413associations. The list must be in the following format:
5414
5415 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5416 list = entry[,list]
5417
5418If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5419Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5420
5421Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5422with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5423override any association in the static list. You can define
5424CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5425".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005428Command Line Parsing:
5429=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005430
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005431There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5432the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005433
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005434Old, simple command line parser:
5435--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005436
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005437- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5438- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005439- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005440- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5441 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005442 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005443- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5444 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005445
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005446Hush shell:
5447-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005448
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005449- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5450 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5451 until...do...done, ...
5452- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5453 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5454 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5455 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005456
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005457General rules:
5458--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005459
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005460(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5461 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5462 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5463 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005464
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005465(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005466 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005467 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5468 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005470Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5471=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005472
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005473Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005474such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5475"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005476
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005477Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5478MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5479"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005480
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005481If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5482in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5483ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5484variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005485
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005486o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5487 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005488
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005489o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5490 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5491 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005492
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005493o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5494 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005495
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005496o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5497 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5498 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005499
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005500o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5501 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005502
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005503If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005504will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005505may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5506The naming convention is as follows:
5507"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005508
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005509Image Formats:
5510==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005511
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005512U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5513images in two formats:
5514
5515New uImage format (FIT)
5516-----------------------
5517
5518Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5519to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5520components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5521SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5522
5523
5524Old uImage format
5525-----------------
5526
5527Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5528preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5529details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005530

5546and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5547CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005548
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005549
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005550Linux Support:
5551==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005552
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005553Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5554easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5555U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005556
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005557U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5558special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5559"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5560instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5561serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005562
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005563- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5564 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5565 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005566
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005567- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5568 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005569
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005570- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5571 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5572 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5573 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5574 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5575 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005576
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005577
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005578Linux HOWTO:
5579============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005580
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005581Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5582---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005583
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005584U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5585configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5586(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5587Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005588
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005589But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005590
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005591Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5592include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005593Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5594and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005595as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005596
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005597Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5598If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5599is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5600doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005602
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005603Configuring the Linux kernel:
5604-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005605
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005606No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5607device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005608
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005609
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005610Building a Linux Image:
5611-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005612
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005613With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5614not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5615"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5616U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5617which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5618100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005619
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005620Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005621
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005622 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005623 make oldconfig
5624 make dep
5625 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005626
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005627The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5628encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5629CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005630
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005631* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005632
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005633* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005634
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005635 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5636 -R .note -R .comment \
5637 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005638
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005639* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005640
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005641 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005642
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005643* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005644
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005645 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5646 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5647 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005648
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005649
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005650The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5651with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5652combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5653byte header containing information about target architecture,
5654operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5655stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005656
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005657"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005659
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005660In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5661contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5662checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005663
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005664 tools/mkimage -l image
5665 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005666
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005667The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5668from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005669
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005670 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5671 -n name -d data_file image
5672 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5673 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5674 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5675 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5676 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5677 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5678 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5679 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005680
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005681Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5682address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5683kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005684
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005685- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5686- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005687
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005688So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005689

5712speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5713needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5714need to be uncompressed:

5743option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5744option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5745from the image:
5746
5747 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005752Installing a Linux Image:
5753-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005754
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005755To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5756you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005757
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005758 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005759
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005760The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5761image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5762address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5763specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5764command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005765
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005766Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005936
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005937 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5938 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5939 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5940 the Standalone Program.
5941 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5942 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5943 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5944 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5945 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5946 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5947 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5948 being started.
5949 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5950 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5951 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5952 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5953 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5954 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005956 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5957 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5958 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5959 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5960 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5961 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005962
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005963 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5964 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5965 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005966
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005967 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5968 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5969 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5970 as command interpreter.

5973-------------------------
5974
5975On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5976using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5977as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5978
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005979Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005980kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5981address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5982format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005988One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5989run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5990U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005991
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005992Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005997'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5998application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5999It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6000like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006026Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6027handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6028Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6029The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6030character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6031controlled by the following keys:

6095=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006096
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006097Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6098(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006099
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006100Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6101NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6102need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6103Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6104attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6105missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006106
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006107 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6108 # mkdir powerpc
6109 # ln -s powerpc machine
6110 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6111 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006112
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006113Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6114and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006115
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006116Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6117stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6118proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6119tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6124=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006125
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006126The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6127implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6128inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6129hardware.

6133---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006134
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006135The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6136starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6137system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6138This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6139is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6140at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6141options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6142models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6143MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6144locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006145
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006146 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006154 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6155 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6156 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6157 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6158 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006159 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006160 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6161 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006163 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6164 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006165 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006166 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6167 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6168 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6169 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006170
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006171 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006172 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6173 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006174 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006175 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6176 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6177 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6178 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6179 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006184It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6185code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006186
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006187* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6188 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006189
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006190* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006191 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6192 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006193
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006194* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6195 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006196
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006197Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6198normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6199turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6200simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6201functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6202functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6203the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6204place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6205reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006206
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006207When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6208relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6209GCC's implementation.

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006220 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6221 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6222 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006225
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006226 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6227 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6228 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6229 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6230 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6231 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006279Memory Management:
6280------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006281
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006282U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6283MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006284
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006285The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6286controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6287memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6288physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006289
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006290U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6291TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6292booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6293to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006294memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006295configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6296Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006297
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006298Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6299of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006300
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006301So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6302this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006303
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006304 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

6307 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use

6317 0x00FD FFFF
6318 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6319 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6320 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6321 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006322
6323
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006324System Initialization:
6325----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006326
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006327In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006328(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006329configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6330To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6331To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6332initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6333which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6334part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6335the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006336
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006337Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6338preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6339(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6340on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6341programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6342simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6343banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006344
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006345When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6346different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6347bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63480x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6349contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006350
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006351Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6352and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6353Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6354pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006355
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006356Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6357until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6358running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6359new address in RAM.

Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006497 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006498 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6499 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006501 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6502 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6503 GNU diff.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006505 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6506 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6507 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6508 affected files).
6509
6510 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6511 and compressed attachments must not be used.

6513* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6514 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6515
6516* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6517 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

6519
6520Notes:
6521
6522* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6523 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6524 for any of the boards.
6525
6526* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6527 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6528 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6529
6530* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6531 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6532 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6533 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6534 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6535 modification.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006537* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6538 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6539 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6540 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
