9========

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

30Status:
31=======

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

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

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

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

Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -0700693- Driver Model
694 Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
695 introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
696 moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
697 supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
698 handling of platform data and device tree.
699
700 To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
701 painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
702 switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
703 driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
704 interfaces include compatibility features which may be
705 removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
706 As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
707 not change with driver model.
708
709 See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
710
711 CONFIG_DM
712
713 Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
714 including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
715 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
716 scanned also when available.
717
718 CONFIG_CMD_DM
719
720 Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
721 out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
722
723 CONFIG_DM_DEMO
724
725 Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
726 really only useful for playing around while trying to
727 understand driver model in sandbox.
728
729 CONFIG_SPL_DM
730
731 Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
732 suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
733 full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
734 consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
735 must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
736 In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
737 and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
738 CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
739 it.
740
741 CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
742
743 Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
744 drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
745 implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
746 defined in include/serial.h.
747
748 CONFIG_DM_GPIO
749
750 Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
751 interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
752 the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
753 particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
754 is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
755
756 CONFIG_DM_SPI
757
758 Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
759 (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
760 the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
761 buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
762 include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
763 as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
764 typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
765 spi_slave structure.
766
767 CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
768
769 Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
770 (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
771 implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
772 SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
773 supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
774 include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
775 with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
776 during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
777 enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
778 for one and not the other).
779
780 CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
781
782 Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
783 allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
784 but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
785 I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
786 conversion is not yet possible.
787
788
789 ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
790 default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
791 features in SPL.
792
793 CONFIG_DM_WARN
794
795 Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
796 of space for its strings.
797
798 CONFIG_DM_STDIO
799
800 Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
801
802 CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
803
804 Enable removing of devices.

wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000807- Linux Kernel Interface:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000808 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
809
810 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
811 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
812 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
813 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
814 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
815 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
816 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000817 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100818 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000819 default environment.

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -0800823 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000824 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
825 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600853 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
854
855 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
856 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
857 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
858 the kernel.

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200862 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500863 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
864
Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200865 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
866
867 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
868 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
869 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
870 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
871 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
872 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
873
Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000874 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
875
876 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
877 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
878 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
879 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
880 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
881 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
882 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

887 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
888 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
889
890 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name

924 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
925 the clock speed of the UARTs.
926
927 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
928
929 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
930 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
931 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
932
John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000933 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
934
935 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
936 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
937 this variable to initialize the extra register.
938
939 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
940
941 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
942 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
943 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000951 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
952 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
953 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
954 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000955
956 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial

1001 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
1002
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001003 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +01001023- Console Rx buffer length
1024 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
1025 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +01001026 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +01001027 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
1028 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
1029 the SMC.
1030
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +00001031- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02001032 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
1033 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
1034 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
1035 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
1036 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
1037 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
1038 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +02001039 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02001040 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +00001041
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02001042 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
1043 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +00001045- Safe printf() functions
1046 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
1047 the printf() functions. These are defined in
1048 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
1049 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
1050 If this option is not given then these functions will
1051 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
1052 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
1053
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001054- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
1055 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
1056 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +00001057 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
1058 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001059
1060 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
1061 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
1062 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
1063 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
1064 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
1065 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
1066 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR

1071 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
1072
1073- Autoboot Command:
1074 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
1075 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
1076 define a command string that is automatically executed
1077 when no character is read on the console interface
1078 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
1079
1080 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001081 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
1082 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
1083 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001084
1085 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001086 The value of these goes into the environment as
1087 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
1088 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001089 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001090
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +01001091- Bootcount:
1092 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1093 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1094 cycle, see:
1095 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1096
1097 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1098 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1099 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1100 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1101 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1102 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1103 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1104 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1105 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1106
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001107- Pre-Boot Commands:
1108 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1109
1110 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1111 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1112 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1113 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1114 entering interactive mode.
1115
1116 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1117 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1118 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1119 modified when the user holds down a certain

1123- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1124 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1125 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1126 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1127 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1128 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1129 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1130 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

1268 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1269 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1270 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other

Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001277- Regular expression support:
1278 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001279 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1280 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1281 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1282 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001283
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001284- Device tree:
1285 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1286 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1287 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1288 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1289 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1290 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1291
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001292 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1293 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001294
1295 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1296 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1297 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1298 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1299 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1300 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001301
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001302 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1303 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1304 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1305 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1306
1307 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1308
1309 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1310 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1311 still use the individual files if you need something more
1312 exotic.
1313
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001314- Watchdog:
1315 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1316 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001317 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1318 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1319 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1320 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1321 available, then no further board specific code should
1322 be needed to use it.
1323
1324 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1325 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1326 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1327 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001328
Heiko Schocher7bae0d62015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001329 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1330 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1331
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001332- U-Boot Version:
1333 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1334 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1335 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1336 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001337 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1338 next reset.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001343 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1344 following options:

Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001366
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001367 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1368 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1369 pins supported by a particular chip.
1370
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001371 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1372 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1373
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001374- I/O tracing:
1375 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1376 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1377 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1378 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1379 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1380 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1381 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1382 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1383
1384 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1385 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1386 still continue to operate.
1387
1388 iotrace is enabled
1389 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1390 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)

1399 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1400 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001401 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .

Igor Grinbergd70a5602011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001726- ULPI Layer Support:
1727 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1728 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1729 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1730 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1731 viewport is supported.
1732 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1733 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001734 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1735 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1736 the appropriate value in Hz.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001737

1766 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1767 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1768
1769 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1770 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1771 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1772 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1773 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1774
1775 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1776 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1777

1782 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1783 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1784 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1785 one that would help mostly the developer.
1786
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001787 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1788 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1789 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1790 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1791 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1792
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001793 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1794 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1795 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1796 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1797 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1798 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1799
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001800 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1801 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1802 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1803 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1804
1805 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1806 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1807 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1808 sending again an USB request to the device.
1809
Sebastian Siewior3aab70a2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001810- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1811 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1812 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1813 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1814 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1815 used on Android devices.

1817
1818 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1819 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1820 image format header.
1821
1822 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1823 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1824 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1825 downloaded images.
1826
1827 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1828 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1829 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1830 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1831
Steve Raed1b5ed02014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001832 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1833 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1834 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1835 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1836
1837 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1838 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1839 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1840 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1841
Steve Rae0ff7e582014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001842 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1843 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1844 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1845 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1846 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1847 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1848 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1849 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

2035
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002036 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00002037 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
2038 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
2039 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
2040 a per-section basis.
2041
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00002042 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
2043
2044 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
2045 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
2046 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
2047 is slow.

Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00002049 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
2050
2051 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
2052
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00002053 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
2054
2055 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
2056 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
2057
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002058- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002059
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002060 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
2061 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
2062 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00002063 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002064 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
2065 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
2066 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
2067 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002068
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00002069 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
2070
2071 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
2072 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05002073 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00002074 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
2075 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
2076 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
2077 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2078 there is no need to set this option.
2079
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02002080 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2081
2082 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2083 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2084 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2085 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2086 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2087 specify 'm' for centering the image.
2088
2089 Example:
2090 setenv splashpos m,m
2091 => image at center of screen
2092
2093 setenv splashpos 30,20
2094 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
2095
2096 setenv splashpos -10,m
2097 => vertically centered image
2098 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2099
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02002100- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2101
2102 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2103 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2104 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2105
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01002106- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2107
2108 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2109 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2110 bmp command.
2111
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002112- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00002113 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2114
2115 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2116 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2117
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002118- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002119 CONFIG_GZIP
2120
2121 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2122
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002123 CONFIG_BZIP2
2124
2125 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2126 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2127 compressed images are supported.
2128
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002129 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002130 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002131 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002132
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002133 CONFIG_LZMA
2134
2135 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2136 images is included.
2137
2138 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2139 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2140 formula:
2141
2142 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2143
2144 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2145 and Literal pos bits.
2146
2147 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2148 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2149 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2150 a very small buffer.
2151
2152 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2153 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002154 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002155
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002156 CONFIG_LZO
2157
2158 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2159 is included.
2160
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002161- MII/PHY support:
2162 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2163
2164 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2165
2166 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2167
2168 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2169
2170 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2171
2172 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002173 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002174
2175 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2176
2177 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2178 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2179 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2180 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2181
2182 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2183
2184 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2185 command issued before MII status register can be read

2217 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2218
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002219- Gateway IP address:

2224 sent to.
2225 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2226
2227- Subnet mask:
2228 CONFIG_NETMASK
2229
2230 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2231 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2232 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2233 forwarded through a router.
2234 (Environment variable "netmask")
2235
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002236- Multicast TFTP Mode:

2238
2239 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2240 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002241 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002242 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2243 multicast group.
2244
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002245- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2246 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2247
2248 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2249 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2250 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2251 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2252 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2253 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2254 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2255 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002256 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002257
2258 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2259 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2260 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2261 4th and following
2262 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2263
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002264 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2265
2266 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2267 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2268 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2269 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2270 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2271 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2272 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2273 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2274 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2275 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2276 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2277 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2278 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2279 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2280 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2281

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002300 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2301 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.

Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002303 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2304 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2305 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2306 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2307 is not available.
2308
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002309 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2310 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2311 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2312 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2313 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2314 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2315 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002316 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002317
2318 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2319 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2320 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002321 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002322 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2323 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002325 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2326
2327 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2328 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2329 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2330 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2331 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2332 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2333 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2334 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2335 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2336 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2337 this delay.
2338
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002339 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2340 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2341 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2342 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2343 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002389- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2390
2391 Several configurations allow to display the current
2392 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2393 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2394 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2395 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2396 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2397 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2398 feature in U-Boot.

2409 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2410 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2411 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2412 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2413 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002598
2599 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2600 provides the following compelling advantages:
2601
2602 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2603 - approved multibus support
2604 - better i2c mux support
2605
2606 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2607
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002608 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2609 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2610 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002611
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002612 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002613 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in

2615 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002616 command line interface.

wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002620 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002621 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002622
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002623 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002624 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002625 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002626 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002627
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002628 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002629 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002630 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2631 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2632 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002633
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002634 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2635
2636 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2637 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2638 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2639 commands until the slave device responds.
2640
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002641 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

2703 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2704 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002705 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something

2711
2712 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2713 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2714 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2715 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2716
2717 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2718 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002722 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2723 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2724 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2725 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2726 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2727 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2728 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2729 is run early in the boot sequence.

2732
2733 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2734 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2735 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2736 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2737 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2738 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2739 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2740 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

2750 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002751 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2752 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.

2757 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002758 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS

2795
2796 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2797 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2798 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2799 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2800 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2801 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2802 the other.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002934
2935- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2936
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002937 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2938 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002939 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002940 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2941 protects these variables from casual modification by
2942 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2943 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002944 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002945
2946 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2947 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002948 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002949 these parameters.
2950
2951 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2952 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002953 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002954 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2955 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2956 read-only.]
2957
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002958 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2959 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2960 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2961 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2962
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002963- Protected RAM:
2964 CONFIG_PRAM
2965
2966 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2967 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2968 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2969 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2970 this default value by defining an environment
2971 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2972 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2973 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2974 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2975 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2976 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2977 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2978
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002979 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002980 saveenv
2981
2982 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2983 either, which results in a memory region that will
2984 not be affected by reboots.
2985
2986 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2987 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2988 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2989 following board configurations are known to be
2990 "pRAM-clean":

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002995
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002996- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2997 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2998 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2999 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
3000 machines using physical address extension or similar.
3001 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
3002 currently only supports clearing the memory.
3003
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003004- Error Recovery:
3005 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
3006
3007 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
3008 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
3009 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003010 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003011 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
3012 useful during development since you can try to debug
3013 the conditions that lead to the situation.
3014
3015 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
3016
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003017 This variable defines the number of retries for
3018 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
3019 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
3020 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003021
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02003022 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
3023
3024 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
3025
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00003026 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
3027
3028 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
3029 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
3030 try longer timeout such as
3031 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
3032
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003033- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02003034 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00003035
3036 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
3037
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003038 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003039
3040 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
3041 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
3042 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
3043
3044 Note:
3045
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003046 In the current implementation, the local variables
3047 space and global environment variables space are
3048 separated. Local variables are those you define by
3049 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
3050 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
3051 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
3052 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003053
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003054 Global environment variables are those you use
3055 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
3056 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
3057 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003058
3059 To store commands and special characters in a
3060 variable, please use double quotation marks
3061 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
3062 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
3063 symbols.

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003065- Command Line Editing and History:
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02003066 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
3067
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003068 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003069 command line input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02003070
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003071- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003072 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
3073
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003074 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
3075 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003076 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00003077
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003078 For example, place something like this in your
3079 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003080
3081 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
3082 "myvar1=value1\0" \
3083 "myvar2=value2\0"
3084
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003085 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
3086 internal format how the environment is stored by the
3087 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3088 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003089 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003090 You better know what you are doing here.
3091
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003092 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3093 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02003094 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003095 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003096
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00003097 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3098
3099 Define this in order to add variables describing the
3100 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3101 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3102
3103 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3104
3105 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3106 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3107 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3108 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3109 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3110
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00003111 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3112
3113 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3114 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3115 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3116
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003117 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3118
3119 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003120 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003121 that so that the environment is not available until
3122 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3123 this is instead controlled by the value of
3124 /config/load-environment.
3125
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003126- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003127 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3128
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003129 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3130 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3131 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003132
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07003133- Serial Flash support
3134 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3135
3136 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3137 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3138
3139 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3140 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3141 commands.
3142
3143 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3144 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3145 flash is present on the system.
3146
3147 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3148 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3149 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3150 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3151
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003152 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3153
3154 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3155 test ('sf test').
3156
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05303157 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3158
3159 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3160 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3161
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303162 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3163
3164 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3165 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003166 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303167
Heiko Schocher562f8df2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02003168 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3169 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3170 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3171 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3172 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3173 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3174 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3175 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3176 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3177 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3178
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003179- SystemACE Support:
3180 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3181
3182 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3183 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003184 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003185 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003186
3187 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003188 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003189
3190 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3191 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3192
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003193- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3194 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3195
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003196 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003197 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003198 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003199 number generator is used.
3200
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003201 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3202 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3203 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3204
3205 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003206 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3207 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3208 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3209 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3210 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3211 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3212
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003213- Hashing support:
3214 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3215
3216 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3217 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3218
3219 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3220
3221 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3222 size a little.
3223
gaurav rana94e3c8c2015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303224 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3225 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3226 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3227 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3228 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3229 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3230 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3231 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3232 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3233 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3234 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3235 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003236
3237 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3238 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3239
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003240- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3241 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3242 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3243 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3244
3245 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3246 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3247 a boot from specific media.
3248
3249 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3250 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3251 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3252 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3253 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3254
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003255- Signing support:
3256 CONFIG_RSA
3257
3258 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003259 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003260
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303261 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3262 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3263 library to function.
3264
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003265 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303266 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3267 mkimage irrespective of this option.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003268
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003269- bootcount support:
3270 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3271
3272 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3273 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3274
3275 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3276 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3277 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3278 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3279 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3280 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3281 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3282 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3283 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3284 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3285 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3286 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3287 the bootcounter.
3288 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003289
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003290- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003291 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3292
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003293 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3294 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3295 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3296 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3297 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3298 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003299
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003300- Detailed boot stage timing
3301 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3302 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3303 of the boot process.
3304
3305 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3306 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3307 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3308 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3309 the limit, recording will stop.
3310
3311 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3312 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3313
3314 Timer summary in microseconds:
3315 Mark Elapsed Stage
3316 0 0 reset
3317 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3318 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3319 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
3320 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
3321 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
3322 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3323 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3324
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003325 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3326 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3327 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3328
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003329 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3330 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3331 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3332 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3333 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3334 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3335 For example:
3336
3337 bootstage {
3338 154 {
3339 name = "board_init_f";
3340 mark = <3575678>;
3341 };
3342 170 {
3343 name = "lcd";
3344 accum = <33482>;
3345 };
3346 };
3347

Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003601
3602 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3603 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3604 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3605 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3606 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3607 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3608
3609 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3610 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3611 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3612 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3613 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3614
3615 default: 4096
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003616
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003617 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3618 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3619 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3620 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3621 flash), this value is ignored.
3622
3623 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3624 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3625 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3626 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3627 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3628 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3629
3630 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3631 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3632 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3633 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3634 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3635 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3636 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3637 partition.
3638
3639 default: 20
3640
3641 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3642 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3643 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3644 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3645 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3646 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3647 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3648 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3649 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3650 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3651 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3652 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3653
3654 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3655 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3656 without a fastmap.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003930 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3931 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003933- Interrupt support (PPC):
3934
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003935 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3936 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003937 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003938 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003939 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003940 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003941 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003942 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3943 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3944 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003946- General:
3947
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003948 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3949 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3950 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003951 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003952 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3953 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3954 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003955
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003956 If there are no modem init strings in the
3957 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3958 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003959 suppressed, though.

3964------------------------------
3965
3966During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3967to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3968before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3969following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3970architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3971typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00004010 If the board specific function
4011 extern int overwrite_console (void);
4012 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the

4023 simple memory test.
4024
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004025- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00004026 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004027
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004028- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5f535fe2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00004029 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
4030 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
4031
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004032- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
4033 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01004034 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004035 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01004036 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
4037 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
4038 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01004039 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01004040 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01004041 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01004042
4043 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
4044 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
4045 be touched.
4046
4047 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
4048 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
4049 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
4050 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
4051 problems.
4052
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004053- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

4055
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004056- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004057 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
4058
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004059- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004060 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
4061 Cogent motherboard)
4062
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004063- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004064 Physical start address of Flash memory.
4065
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004066- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004067 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
4068 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk14d0a022010-10-07 21:51:12 +02004069 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004070 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004071
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004072- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00004073 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
4074 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
4075 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
4076 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004077
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004078- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004079 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
4080
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06004081- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
4082 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
4083 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
4084 will become available before relocation. The address is just
4085 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
4086 space.
4087
4088 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
4089 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
4090 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004091 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06004092 U-Boot relocates itself.
4093
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06004094 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06004095 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
4096
Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07004097- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
4098 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
4099 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
4100 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
4101
Thierry Reding1dfdd9b2014-12-09 22:25:22 -07004102- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
4103 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
4104 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
4105 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
4106 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
4107 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
4108 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
4109 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
4110 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
4111 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
4112 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
4113 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
4114 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
4115 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
4116 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
4117 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
4118
4119 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
4120
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004121- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004122 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4123 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004124 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004125 to adjust this setting to your needs.
4126
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004127- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004128 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
4129 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004130 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
4131 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004132 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004133 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004134 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004135 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4136 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4137 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004138
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06004139- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
4140 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
4141 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
4142 is enabled.
4143
4144- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
4145 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
4146 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4147
4148- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
4149 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
4150 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4151
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004152- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004153 Max number of Flash memory banks
4154
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004155- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:

4166
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004167- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00004168 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
4169
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004170- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00004171 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4172 instead of U-Boot software protection.
4173
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004174- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004175
4176 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4177 without this option such a download has to be
4178 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4179 copy from RAM to flash.
4180
4181 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4182 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004183 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4184 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004185 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4186
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004187- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004188 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00004189 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
4190
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD00b18832008-08-13 01:40:42 +02004191- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00004192 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
4193 in the drivers directory
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004194
Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01004195- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4196 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4197 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4198 to the MTD layer.
4199
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004200- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
Guennadi Liakhovetski96ef8312008-04-03 13:36:02 +02004201 Use buffered writes to flash.
4202
4203- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
4204 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
4205 write commands.
4206
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004207- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01004208 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
4209 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4210 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4211 optionally available.
4212
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05004213- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4214 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4215 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4216 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4217
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02004218- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4219 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4220 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4221 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4222 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4223 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4224 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4225 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4226
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004227- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004228 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4229 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004230 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4231 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004232 on high Ethernet traffic.

4236
Wolfgang Denk071bc922010-10-27 22:48:30 +02004237 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4238 internally to store the environment settings. The default
4239 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4240 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4241 lib/hashtable.c for details.

4244- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004245 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06004246 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4247 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4248 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4249
4250 The format of the list is:
4251 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004252 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]

4256
4257 The type attributes are:
4258 s - String (default)
4259 d - Decimal
4260 x - Hexadecimal
4261 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4262 i - IP address
4263 m - MAC address
4264
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06004265 The access attributes are:
4266 a - Any (default)
4267 r - Read-only
4268 o - Write-once
4269 c - Change-default
4270
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06004271 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4272 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004273 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06004274
4275 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4276 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4277 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4278 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4279 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4280 ".flags" variable.
4281
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06004282- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4283 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4284 access flags.
4285
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004286- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4287 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4288 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4289 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4290 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4291 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4292 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4293 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4294 your board please report the problem and send patches!
4295
Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00004296- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4297 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4298 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004299 the value can be calculated on a given board.

Gabe Black0d296cc2014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004301- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4302 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4303 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4304 building U-Boot to enable this.
4305
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004306The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4307of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4308following configurations:
4309
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004310- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4311
4312 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4313 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4314
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004315- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004316
4317 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4318
4319 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4320 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4321 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4322 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4323 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4324 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4325 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4326 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4327 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4328 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4329 between U-Boot and the environment.
4330
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004331 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004332
4333 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4334 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4335 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4336 for this sector is given here.
4337
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004338 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004339
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004340 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004341
4342 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4343 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004344 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004345
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004346 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004347
4348 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4349
4350
4351 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4352 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4353 the environment.
4354
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004355 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004356
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004357 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004358 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004359 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4360 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4361
4362 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4363 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4364 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4365 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4366 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4367 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4368 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4369 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4370 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4371
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004372 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4373 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004374
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004375 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004376 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004377 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004378 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004379
4380BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4381source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4382accordingly!
4383
4384
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004385- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004386
4387 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4388 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4389 environment.
4390
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004391 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4392 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004393
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004394 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004395 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4396 can just be read and written to, without any special
4397 provision.
4398
4399BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004400in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004401console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004402U-Boot will hang.
4403
4404Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4405environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4406keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4407to save the current settings.
4408
4409
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004410- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004411
4412 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4413 device and a driver for it.
4414
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004415 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4416 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004417
4418 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4419 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4420
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004421 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004422 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4423 The default address is zero.
4424
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004425 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004426 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4427 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4428 would require six bits.
4429
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004430 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004431 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004432 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004433
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004434 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004435 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4436 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4437
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004438 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004439 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4440 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4441 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4442 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4443 byte chips.
4444
4445 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4446 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4447 in the chip address.
4448
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004449 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004450 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4451
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004452 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4453 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4454 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4455
4456 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4457 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4458 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4459 EEPROM. For example:
4460
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004461 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004462
4463 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4464 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

4482 want to use for the environment.
4483
4484 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4485 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4486
4487 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4488 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4489 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4490
4491 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4492
4493 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4494
4495 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4496
4497 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4498 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4499 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4500 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4501 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4502
4503 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4504 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4505
4506 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4507
4508 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4509
4510 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4511
4512 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4513
4514 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.

4519 want to use for the local device's environment.
4520
4521 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4522 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4523
4524 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4525 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4526 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004527 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004528
4529BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4530"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004531environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4532but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004554 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4555
4556 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4557 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4558 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4559 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4560 the range to be avoided.
4561
4562 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4563
4564 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4565 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4566 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4567 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4568 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004570- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4571
4572 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4573 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4574 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4575
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004576- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4577
4578 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4579 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4580 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4581
4582 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4583
4584 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4585
4586 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4587
4588 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4589 environment in.
4590
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004591 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4592
4593 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4594 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4595 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4596
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004597 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4598 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4599
4600 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4601 when storing the env in UBI.
4602
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004603- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4604 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4605
4606 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4607
4608 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4609
4610 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4611
4612 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4613 be as following:
4614
4615 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4616 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4617 partition table.
4618 - "D:0": device D.
4619 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4620 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4621 table.
4622 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004623 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004624 partition table then means device D.
4625
4626 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4627
4628 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004629 environment.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004630
4631 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004632 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004633
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004634- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4635
4636 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4637 environment.
4638
4639 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4640
4641 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4642
4643 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4644
4645 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4646 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4647 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4648
4649 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4650 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4651
4652 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4653 area within the specified MMC device.
4654
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004655 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4656 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4657 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4658 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4659 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4660 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4661 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4662
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004663 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4664 MMC sector boundary.
4665
4666 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4667
4668 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4669 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4670 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4671 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4672
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004673 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4674 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4675
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004676 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4677 an MMC sector boundary.
4678
4679 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4680
4681 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4682 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4683 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4684
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004685- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004686
4687 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4688 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4689 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4690 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4691 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4692 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4693 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4694
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004695Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004696has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004697created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004698until then to read environment variables.
4699
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004700The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4701is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4702with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4703necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4704"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4705have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004706
4707Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4708the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004709use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004713
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004714 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004715 also needs to be defined.
4716
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004717- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004718 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004719
Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004720- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4721 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4722 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4723 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4724 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4725 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4726
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004727- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4728 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4729 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4730 to do this.
4731
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004732- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4733 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4734 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4735 present.
4736
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004737- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4738 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4739 build system checks that the actual size does not
4740 exceed it.

4747
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004748- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004750
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004751 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4752 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4753 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004755- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4756 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4757 PowerPC SOCs.
4758
4759- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4760 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4761 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4762
4763 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4764 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4765
4766- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4767 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4768 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004769 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004770 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4771 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4772 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4773
4774 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4775 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4776
4777- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004778 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4779 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004780 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4781 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4782
4783- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4784 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4785 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4786 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4787
4788- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4789 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4790 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00005007- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
5008 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
5009
5010- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
5011 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00005012 to the given FEC; i. e.
5013 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00005014 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
5015
5016 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
5017
5018- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
5019 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
5020 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
5021
5022- CONFIG_RMII
5023 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
5024 Note that this is a global option, we can't
5025 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.

5042 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
5043 "md/mw" commands.
5044 Examples:
5045
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00005046 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00005047 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.

wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00005049 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00005050 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
5051
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00005052 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05005053 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00005055- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00005056 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01005057 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
5058 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
5059 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00005060
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01005061 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
5062 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
5063 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
5064 these initializations itself.

5072 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
5073 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
5074 It is loaded by the SPL.
5075
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08005076- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
5077 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
5078 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
5079 previous 4k of the .text section.
5080
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00005081- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
5082 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
5083 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
5084 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
5085 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
5086 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
5087 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
5088 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
5089
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00005090- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
5091 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
5092 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
5093 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
5094 conditions but may increase the binary size.
5095
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00005096- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
5097 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
5098 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06005113Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
5114-----------------------------------
5115
5116The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
5117loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
5118This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5119are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5120within that device.
5121
Zhao Qiangdcf1d772014-03-21 16:21:44 +08005122- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
5123 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
5124 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5125 is also specified.
5126
5127- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
5128 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06005129 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5130 is also specified.
5131
5132- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5133 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5134 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5135 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5136 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5137
5138- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5139 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5140 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5141 virtual address in NOR flash.
5142
5143- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
5144 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
5145 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
5146
5147- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
5148 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
5149 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5150
5151- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
5152 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5153 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5154
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00005155- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5156 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5157 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00005158 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5159 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
5160 master's memory space.

J. German Riverab940ca62014-06-23 15:15:55 -07005162Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
5163---------------------------------------------------------
5164The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5165"firmware".
5166This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5167are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5168within that device.
5169
5170- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5171 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5172
5173- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5174 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
5175 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5176 is also specified.
5177
5178- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5179 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5180 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5181 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5182 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5183
5184- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5185 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5186 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
5187 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005189Building the Software:
5190======================
5191
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005192Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5193and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5194all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5195(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5196recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5197which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005198
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005199If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5200have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5201you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5202Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5203necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005204
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005205 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5206 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005207
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05005208Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5209 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5210 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5211 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5212
5213 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5214
5215 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5216 be executed on computers running Windows.
5217
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005218U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5219sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005220is done by typing:
5221
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005222 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005223
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005224where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005225rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005226
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005227Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5228 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5229 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5230 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005231 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005232
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005233 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005234 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005235
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005236 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005237 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005238
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005239 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005240
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005241
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005242Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5243images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005244
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005245- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5246- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5247- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005248
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005249By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5250in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5251this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5252
52531. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5254
5255 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005256 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005257 make O=/tmp/build all
5258
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +020052592. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005260
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005261 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005262 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005263 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005264 make all
5265
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005266Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005267variable.
5268
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005269
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005270Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5271for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5272native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005273
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005274
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005275If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5276to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5277steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005278
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000052791. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005280 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5281 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000052822. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5283 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5284 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
52853. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5286 your board
52873. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5288 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020052894. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000052905. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5291 to be installed on your target system.
52926. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5293 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005296Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5297==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005298
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005299If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5300or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005301provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5302the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005303official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005304
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005305But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5306cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005307the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5308just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005309for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5310select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5311environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5312you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005313
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005314 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005315
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005316or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005317
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005318 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005319
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005320When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5321U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5322setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5323built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5324<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5325location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5326variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005327
5328 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5329 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5330 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5331
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005332With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5333log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5334during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005403Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5404"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5405without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5406environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5407working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5408environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005424 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5425 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5426 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5427 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5428 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5429 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005430 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5431 bootm_mapsize.
5432
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005433 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005434 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5435 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5436 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5437 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5438 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5439 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005440
5441 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5442 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5443 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5444 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5445 environment variable.
5446
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005447 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5448 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5449 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5450
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005451 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5452 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5453 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5454 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005455
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005456 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5457 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5458 be automatically started (by internally calling
5459 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005460
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005461 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5462 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5463 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5464 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5465 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005466
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005467 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5468 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005469 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5470 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5471 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5472 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5473 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5474 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5475 access it during the boot procedure.
5476
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005477 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5478 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5479 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5480 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5481 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5482 must be accessible by the kernel.
5483
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005484 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5485 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5486 defined.
5487
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005488 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5489 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5490 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5491 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5492 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5493
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005494 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5495 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5496 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5497 is usually what you want since it allows for
5498 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5499 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005500 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005501 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5502 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5503 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5504 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005505
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005506 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5507 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5508 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5509 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5510 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5511 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005512
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005514
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005515 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5516 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5517 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5518 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5519 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5520 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5521 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005540 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5541 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005542
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005543 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005548 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5549 available network interfaces.
5550 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5551
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005552 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005553 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5554 When set to "once" the network operation will
5555 fail when all the available network interfaces
5556 are tried once without success.
5557 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5558 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005559
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005560 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005561
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005562 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005563 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5564 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5565 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5566 is silent.
5567
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005568 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005569 UDP source port.
5570
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005571 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5572 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5573
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005574 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5575 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5576
5577 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5578 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5579 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5580 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5581 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5582 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5583 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5584
5585 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005586 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005589The following image location variables contain the location of images
5590used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5591not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5592variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5593server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5594loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5595flash or offset in NAND flash.
5596
5597*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5598boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5599boards use these variables for other purposes.

5615 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5616 hostname - Target hostname
5617 ipaddr - see above

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005623There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005624
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005625 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

5627 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005628
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005629These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5630the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5631once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005632
5633
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005634Further special Environment Variables:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005636 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5637 with the "version" command. This variable is
5638 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005645Callback functions for environment variables:
5646---------------------------------------------
5647
5648For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005649when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005650be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5651deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5652effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5653
5654The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5655U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5656
5657These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5658static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5659in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5660associations. The list must be in the following format:
5661
5662 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5663 list = entry[,list]
5664
5665If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5666Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5667
5668Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5669with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5670override any association in the static list. You can define
5671CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005672".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5685- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005686- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005687- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005714 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5715 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005717Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5718=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005719
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005720Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005721such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5722"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005723
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005724Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5725MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5726"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005727
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005728If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5729in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5730ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5731variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005732
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005733o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5734 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005735
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005736o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5737 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5738 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005739
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005740o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5741 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005742
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005743o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5744 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5745 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005746
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005747o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5748 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005749
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005750If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005751will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005752may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5753The naming convention is as follows:
5754"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005755
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005756Image Formats:
5757==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005758
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005759U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5760images in two formats:
5761
5762New uImage format (FIT)
5763-----------------------
5764
5765Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5766to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5767components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5768SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5769
5770
5771Old uImage format
5772-----------------
5773
5774Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5775preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5776details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005797Linux Support:
5798==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005799
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005800Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5801easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5802U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005803
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005804U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5805special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5806"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5807instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5808serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005809
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005810- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5811 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5812 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005813
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005814- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5815 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005816
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005817- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5818 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5819 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5820 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5821 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5822 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005823
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005824
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005825Linux HOWTO:
5826============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005827
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005828Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5829---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005830
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005831U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5832configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5833(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5834Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005835
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005836But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005837
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005838Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5839include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005840Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5841and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005842as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005843
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005844Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5845If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5846is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5847doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005849
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005850Configuring the Linux kernel:
5851-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005852
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005853No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5854device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005855
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005856
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005857Building a Linux Image:
5858-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005859
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005860With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5861not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5862"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5863U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5864which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5865100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005866
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005867Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005868
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005869 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005870 make oldconfig
5871 make dep
5872 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005873
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005874The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5875encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5876CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005877
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005878* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005879
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005880* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005881
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005882 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5883 -R .note -R .comment \
5884 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005885
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005886* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005887
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005888 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005889
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005890* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005891
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005892 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5893 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5894 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005895
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005896
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005897The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5898with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5899combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5900byte header containing information about target architecture,
5901operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5902stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005903
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005904"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5905print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005906
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005907In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5908contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5909checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005910
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005911 tools/mkimage -l image
5912 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005913
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005914The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5915from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005916
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005917 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5918 -n name -d data_file image
5919 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5920 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5921 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5922 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5923 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5924 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5925 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5926 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005927
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005928Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5929address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5930kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005931
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005932- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5933- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005934
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005935So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005936

5959speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5960needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5961need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraa804b5c2013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005989The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5990option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5991option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5992from the image:
5993
Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraf41f5b72015-01-15 02:54:40 -02005994 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5995 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5996 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5997 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'

6001-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00006002
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006003To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
6004you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00006005
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006006 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00006007
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006008The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
6009image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
6010address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
6011specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
6012command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006180More About U-Boot Image Types:
6181------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006182
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006183U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006184
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006185 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6186 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6187 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6188 the Standalone Program.
6189 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6190 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6191 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6192 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6193 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6194 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6195 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6196 being started.
6197 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6198 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6199 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6200 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6201 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6202 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006203
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006204 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6205 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6206 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6207 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6208 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6209 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006210
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006211 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6212 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6213 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006214
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006215 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6216 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6217 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6218 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006220Booting the Linux zImage:
6221-------------------------
6222
6223On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6224using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6225as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6226
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006227Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006228kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6229address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6230format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006236One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6237run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6238U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006245'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6246application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6247It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6248like that:

6275handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6276Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6277The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6278character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6279controlled by the following keys:

6343=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006344
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006345Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6346(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006347
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006348Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6349NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6350need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6351Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6352attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6353missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006354
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006355 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6356 # mkdir powerpc
6357 # ln -s powerpc machine
6358 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6359 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006360
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006361Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6362and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006363
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006364Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6365stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6366proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6367tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6372=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006373
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006374The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6375implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6376inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6377hardware.

6381---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006382
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006383The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6384starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6385system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6386This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6387is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6388at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6389options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6390models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6391MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6392locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006394 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006402 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6403 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6404 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6405 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6406 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006407 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006408 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6409 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006411 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6412 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006413 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006414 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6415 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6416 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6417 used.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006419 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006420 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6421 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006422 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006423 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6424 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6425 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6426 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6427 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006432It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6433code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006434
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006435* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6436 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006437
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006438* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006439 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6440 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006441
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006442* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6443 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006444
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006445Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006446normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006447turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6448simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6449functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6450functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6451the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6452place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6453reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006454
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006455When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6456relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6457GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006458
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006459For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6460 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006461 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006462 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6463 R5-R10: parameter passing
6464 R13: small data area pointer
6465 R30: GOT pointer
6466 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006468 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6469 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6470 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006474 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6475 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6476 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6477 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6478 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6479 624 text + 127 data).

Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02006524NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6525or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006527Memory Management:
6528------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006529
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006530U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6531MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006532
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006533The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6534controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6535memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6536physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006537
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006538U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6539TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6540booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6541to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006542memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006543configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6544Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006545
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006546Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6547of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006548
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006549So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6550this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006551
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006552 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code

6569 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]

6571
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006572System Initialization:
6573----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006574
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006575In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006576(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006577configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006578To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6579To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6580initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6581which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6582part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6583the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006584
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006585Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6586preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6587(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6588on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6589programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6590simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6591banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006592
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006593When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6594different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6595bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
65960x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6597contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006598
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006599Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6600and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6601Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6602pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006603
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006604Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6605until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6606running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6607new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006687All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006688coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006689"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.

6695
6696Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6697Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6698in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006699
6700Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6701- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006702- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006703- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006704- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006705- do not add trailing empty lines to source files

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006714Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6715establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules

6722
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006723When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6724it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006725
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006726* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6727 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6728 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006729
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006730* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6731 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006732
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006733* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6734
6735* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6736
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006737* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6738 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006739
6740* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6741 document these in the README file.
6742
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006743* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6744 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006745 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006746 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6747 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006748
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006749 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6750 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6751 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006752
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006753 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6754 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6755 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6756 affected files).
6757
6758 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6759 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006760
6761* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6762 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6763
6764* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6765 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6766
6767
6768Notes:
6769
6770* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6771 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6772 for any of the boards.
6773
6774* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6775 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6776 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6777
6778* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6779 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6780 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6781 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6782 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6783 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006784
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006785* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6786 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6787 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6788 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
