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.

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 +0000224Software Configuration:
225=======================
226
227Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
228rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
229
230There are two classes of configuration variables:
231
232* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
233 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
234 "CONFIG_".
235
236* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
237 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
238 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200239 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000240
241Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
242identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
243do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
244links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
245as an example here.
246
247
248Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
249---------------------------------------------------
250
251For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
252configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
253
254Example: For a TQM823L module type:
255
256 cd u-boot
257 make TQM823L_config
258
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200259For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000260e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
261directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
262
263
264Configuration Options:
265----------------------
266
267Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
268such information is kept in a configuration file
269"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
270
271Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
272"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
273
274
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000275Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
276kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
277build a config tool - later.
278
279
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000280The following options need to be configured:
281

390
391 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
392 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
393
394 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
395 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
396 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
397 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
398
399 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
400 this erratum.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000549 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
550
551 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
552 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
553 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
554 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
555 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
556 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
557 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000558 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100559 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200599 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
600
601 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
602 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
603 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
604 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
605 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
606 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
607

611 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
612 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
613 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
614 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
615 in a single configuration file and the machine type is

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000729 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
730 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
731 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
732
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000733 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
734 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
735 environment 'console=serial'.

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000737 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
738 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
739 the "silent" environment variable. See
740 doc/README.silent for more information.

744 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
745 is 0xa0.
746
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000747- Console Baudrate:
748 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
749 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200750 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
751 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100753- Console Rx buffer length
754 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
755 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100756 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100757 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
758 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
759 the SMC.
760
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000761- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200762 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
763 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
764 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
765 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
766 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
767 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
768 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200769 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200770 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000771
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200772 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
773 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000774
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000775- Safe printf() functions
776 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
777 the printf() functions. These are defined in
778 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
779 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
780 If this option is not given then these functions will
781 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
782 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
783
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000784- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
785 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
786 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000787 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
788 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000789
790 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
791 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
792 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
793 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
794 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
795 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
796 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
797 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
798 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
799 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
800 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
801 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
802
803- Autoboot Command:
804 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
805 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
806 define a command string that is automatically executed
807 when no character is read on the console interface
808 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
809
810 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000811 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
812 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
813 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000814
815 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000816 The value of these goes into the environment as
817 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
818 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200819 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000820
821- Pre-Boot Commands:
822 CONFIG_PREBOOT
823
824 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
825 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
826 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
827 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
828 entering interactive mode.
829
830 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
831 automatically generated or modified. For an example
832 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
833 modified when the user holds down a certain
834 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
835 booting the systems
836
837- Serial Download Echo Mode:
838 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
839 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
840 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
841 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
842 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
843 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
844 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
845

851- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500852 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
853 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000854 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
855 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500856 and augmenting with additional #define's
857 for wanted commands.

976 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
977 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
978 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
979 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
980 initial stack and some data.

994 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
995 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
996 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
997 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
998 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
999
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001000 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1001 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001002
1003 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1004 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1005 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1006 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1007 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1008 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001009
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001010 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1011 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1012 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1013 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1014
1015 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1016
1017 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1018 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1019 still use the individual files if you need something more
1020 exotic.
1021
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001022- Watchdog:
1023 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1024 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001025 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1026 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1027 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1028 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1029 available, then no further board specific code should
1030 be needed to use it.
1031
1032 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1033 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1034 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1035 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.

1038 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1039 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1040 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1041 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001042 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1043 next reset.

1335 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1336 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1337 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001338 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001339 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1340 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denk386eda02006-06-14 18:14:56 +02001341 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +02001342 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1343 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1344 a Linux host by
1345 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1346 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1347 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1348 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

Przemyslaw Marczak351e9b22013-10-23 14:30:46 +02001404 Some USB device drivers may need to check USB cable attachment.
1405 In this case you can enable following config in BoardName.h:
1406 CONFIG_USB_CABLE_CHECK
1407 This enables function definition:
1408 - usb_cable_connected() in include/usb.h
1409 Implementation of this function is board-specific.
1410
Igor Grinbergd70a5602011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001411- ULPI Layer Support:
1412 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1413 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1414 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1415 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1416 viewport is supported.
1417 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1418 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001419 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1420 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1421 the appropriate value in Hz.

1455
Afzal Mohammeda9479f02013-09-18 01:15:24 +05301456 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1457 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1458 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1459 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1460 one that would help mostly the developer.
1461
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001462 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1463 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1464 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1465 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1466 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1467
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001468 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1469 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1470 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1471 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1472 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1473 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001652 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1653
1654 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1655 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1656 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1657 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1658 a per-section basis.
1659
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001660 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1661
1662 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1663 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1664 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1665 is slow.
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001666
Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001667 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1668
1669 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1670
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001671 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1672
1673 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1674 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1675
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001676- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001677
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001678 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1679 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1680 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001681 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001682 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1683 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1684 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1685 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001686
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001687 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1688
1689 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1690 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1691 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses).
1692 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1693 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1694 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1695 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1696 there is no need to set this option.
1697
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001698 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1699
1700 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1701 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1702 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1703 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1704 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1705 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1706
1707 Example:
1708 setenv splashpos m,m
1709 => image at center of screen
1710
1711 setenv splashpos 30,20
1712 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1713
1714 setenv splashpos -10,m
1715 => vertically centered image
1716 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1717
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001718- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1719
1720 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1721 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1722 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1723
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001724- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1725
1726 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1727 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1728 bmp command.
1729
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001730- Do compresssing for memory range:
1731 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1732
1733 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1734 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1735
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001736- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001737 CONFIG_GZIP
1738
1739 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1740
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001741 CONFIG_BZIP2
1742
1743 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1744 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1745 compressed images are supported.
1746
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001747 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001748 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001749 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001750
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001751 CONFIG_LZMA
1752
1753 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1754 images is included.
1755
1756 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1757 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1758 formula:
1759
1760 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1761
1762 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1763 and Literal pos bits.
1764
1765 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1766 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1767 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1768 a very small buffer.
1769
1770 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1771 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001772 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001773
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001774 CONFIG_LZO
1775
1776 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1777 is included.
1778
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001779- MII/PHY support:
1780 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1781
1782 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1783
1784 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1785
1786 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1787
1788 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1789
1790 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001791 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001792
1793 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1794
1795 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1796 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1797 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1798 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1799
1800 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1801
1802 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1803 command issued before MII status register can be read

1841 default router where packets to other networks are
1842 sent to.
1843 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1844
1845- Subnet mask:
1846 CONFIG_NETMASK
1847
1848 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1849 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1850 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1851 forwarded through a router.
1852 (Environment variable "netmask")
1853
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001854- Multicast TFTP Mode:

1856
1857 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1858 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001859 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001860 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1861 multicast group.
1862
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001863- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1864 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1865
1866 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1867 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1868 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1869 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1870 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1871 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1872 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1873 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001874 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001875
1876 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1877 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001900 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1901 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001902
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001903 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1904 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1905 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1906 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1907 is not available.
1908
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001909 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1910 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1911 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1912 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1913 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1914 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1915 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001916 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001917
1918 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1919 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1920 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001921 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001922 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1923 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001925 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1926
1927 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1928 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1929 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1930 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1931 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1932 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1933 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1934 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1935 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1936 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1937 this delay.
1938
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001939 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1940 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1941 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1942 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1943 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

1956
1957 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1958
1959 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1960 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001961 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001989- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1990
1991 Several configurations allow to display the current
1992 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1993 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1994 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1995 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1996 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1997 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1998 feature in U-Boot.
1999
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002000 Additional options:
2001
2002 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2003 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2004 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2005 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED

Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002008 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2009 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2010 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2011 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2012 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2013 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

2135
2136 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2137 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2138 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2139 omit this define.
2140
2141 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2142 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2143 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2144 define.
2145
2146 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2147 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2148 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2149 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2150 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002176- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002177
2178 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2179 provides the following compelling advantages:
2180
2181 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2182 - approved multibus support
2183 - better i2c mux support
2184
2185 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2186
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002187 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2188 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2189 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002190
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002191 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002192 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002193 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2194 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002195 command line interface.

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002197 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002198
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002199 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002200 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002201
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002202 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002203 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002204 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002205 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002206
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002207 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002208 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002209 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2210 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2211 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002212
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002213 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2214
2215 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2216 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2217 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2218 commands until the slave device responds.
2219
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002220 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002221
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002222 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002223 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are

2234
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002235 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2236 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2237 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002238
2239 I2C_ACTIVE
2240

2281
2282 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2283 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002284 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002285 like:

2290
2291 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2292 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2293 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2294 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2295
2296 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2297 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002301 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2302 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2303 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2304 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2305 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2306 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2307 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2308 is run early in the boot sequence.

2311
2312 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2313 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2314 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2315 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2316 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2317 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2318 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2319 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

2489- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2490
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002491 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2492 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002493 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002494 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2495 protects these variables from casual modification by
2496 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2497 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002498 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002499
2500 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2501 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002502 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002503 these parameters.
2504
2505 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2506 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002507 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002508 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2509 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2510 read-only.]
2511
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002512 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2513 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2514 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2515 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2516
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002517- Protected RAM:
2518 CONFIG_PRAM
2519
2520 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2521 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2522 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2523 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2524 this default value by defining an environment
2525 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2526 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2527 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2528 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2529 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2530 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2531 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2532
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002533 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002534 saveenv
2535
2536 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2537 either, which results in a memory region that will
2538 not be affected by reboots.
2539
2540 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2541 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2542 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2543 following board configurations are known to be
2544 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002550- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2551 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2552 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2553 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2554 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2555 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2556 currently only supports clearing the memory.

2560
2561 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2562 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2563 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002564 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002565 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2566 useful during development since you can try to debug
2567 the conditions that lead to the situation.

2598 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2599 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2600 powerful command line syntax like
2601 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2602 constructs ("shell scripts").
2603
2604 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2605 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2606
2607
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002608 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002609
2610 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2611 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2612 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2613
2614 Note:
2615
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002616 In the current implementation, the local variables
2617 space and global environment variables space are
2618 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2619 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2620 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2621 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2622 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002623
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002624 Global environment variables are those you use
2625 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2626 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2627 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002628
2629 To store commands and special characters in a
2630 variable, please use double quotation marks
2631 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2632 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2633 symbols.
2634
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002635- Commandline Editing and History:
2636 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2637
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002638 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Wolfgang Denkb9365a22006-07-21 11:56:05 +02002639 commandline input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002640
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002641- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002642 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2643
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002644 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2645 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002646 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002647
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002648 For example, place something like this in your
2649 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002650
2651 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2652 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2653 "myvar2=value2\0"
2654
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002655 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2656 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2657 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2658 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002659 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002660 You better know what you are doing here.
2661
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002662 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2663 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002664 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002665 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002666
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002667 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2668
2669 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2670 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2671 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2672
2673 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2674
2675 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2676 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2677 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2678 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2679 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2680
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002681 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2682
2683 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2684 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2685 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2686
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002687 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2688
2689 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2690 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2691 that so that the environment is not available until
2692 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2693 this is instead controlled by the value of
2694 /config/load-environment.
2695
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002696- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002697 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2698
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002699 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2700 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2701 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002702
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002703- Serial Flash support
2704 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2705
2706 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2707 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2708
2709 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2710 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2711 commands.
2712
2713 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2714 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2715 flash is present on the system.
2716
2717 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2718 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2719 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2720 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2721
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002722 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2723
2724 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2725 test ('sf test').
2726
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302727 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2728
2729 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2730 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2731
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002732- SystemACE Support:
2733 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2734
2735 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2736 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002737 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002738 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002739
2740 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002741 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002742
2743 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2744 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2745
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002746- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2747 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2748
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002749 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002750 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002751 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002752 number generator is used.
2753
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002754 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2755 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2756 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2757
2758 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002759 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2760 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2761 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2762 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2763 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2764 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2765
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002766- Hashing support:
2767 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2768
2769 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2770 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2771
2772 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2773
2774 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2775 size a little.
2776
2777 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2778 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2779
2780 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2781 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2782
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002783- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2784 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2785 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2786 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2787
2788 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2789 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2790 a boot from specific media.
2791
2792 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2793 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2794 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2795 will set it back to normal. This command currently
2796 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2797
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07002798- Signing support:
2799 CONFIG_RSA
2800
2801 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2802 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information.
2803
2804 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2805 option.
2806
2807
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002808- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002809 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2810
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002811 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2812 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2813 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2814 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2815 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2816 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002817
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00002818- Detailed boot stage timing
2819 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2820 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2821 of the boot process.
2822
2823 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2824 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2825 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2826 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2827 the limit, recording will stop.
2828
2829 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2830 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2831
2832 Timer summary in microseconds:
2833 Mark Elapsed Stage
2834 0 0 reset
2835 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
2836 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
2837 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
2838 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
2839 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
2840 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
2841 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
2842
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00002843 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2844 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2845 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2846
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00002847 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2848 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2849 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2850 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2851 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2852 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2853 For example:
2854
2855 bootstage {
2856 154 {
2857 name = "board_init_f";
2858 mark = <3575678>;
2859 };
2860 170 {
2861 name = "lcd";
2862 accum = <33482>;
2863 };
2864 };
2865
2866 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003291 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
Benoît Thébaudeau6113d3f2013-04-11 09:35:49 +00003292 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3293 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3294 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3295 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3296 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003297
Scott Woodca2fca22012-09-21 16:27:32 -05003298 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3299 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3300 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3301 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3302
Simon Glass87ebee32013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003303 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3304 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3305 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3306 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3307 bootm command when booting a FIT image.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003320Modem Support:
3321--------------
3322
Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003323[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003324
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003325- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003326 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3327
3328- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3329 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3330
3331- Modem debug support:
3332 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3333
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003334 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3335 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003336
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003337- Interrupt support (PPC):
3338
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003339 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3340 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003341 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003342 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003343 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003344 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003345 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003346 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3347 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3348 general timer_interrupt().
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003349
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003350- General:
3351
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003352 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3353 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3354 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003355 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003356 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3357 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3358 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003359
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003360 If there are no modem init strings in the
3361 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3362 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003363 suppressed, though.

3368------------------------------
3369
3370During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3371to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3372before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3373following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3374architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3375typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3376
3377- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3378- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003410- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003411 If the board specific function
3412 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3413 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003414 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3415

3425
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003426- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003427 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003428
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003429- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5f535fe2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003430 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3431 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3432
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003433- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3434 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003435 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003436 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003437 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3438 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3439 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003440 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003441 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003442 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003443
3444 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3445 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3446 be touched.
3447
3448 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3449 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3450 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3451 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3452 problems.

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003532 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3533 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3534
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003535- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003536
3537 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3538 without this option such a download has to be
3539 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3540 copy from RAM to flash.
3541
3542 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3543 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003544 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3545 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003546 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3547
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003548- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003549 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
wdenk5653fc32004-02-08 22:55:38 +00003550 common flash structure for storing flash geometry.

3570 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3571 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3572 optionally available.
3573
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003574- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3575 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3576 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3577 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3578
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003579- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3580 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3581 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3582 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3583 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3584 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3585 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3586 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3587
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003588- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003589 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3590 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003591 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3592 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003593 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003594 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

3605- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003606 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003607 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3608 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3609 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3610
3611 The format of the list is:
3612 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003613 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]

Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003615 entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3616 list = entry[,list]
3617
3618 The type attributes are:
3619 s - String (default)
3620 d - Decimal
3621 x - Hexadecimal
3622 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3623 i - IP address
3624 m - MAC address
3625
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003626 The access attributes are:
3627 a - Any (default)

3631
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003632 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3633 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3634 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3635
3636 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3637 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3638 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3639 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3640 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3641 ".flags" variable.
3642
Joe Hershberger267541f2012-12-11 22:16:34 -06003643- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3644 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3645 access flags.
3646
Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00003647- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3648 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3649 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3650 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3651 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3652 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3653 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3654 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3655 your board please report the problem and send patches!
3656
Simon Glass632efa72013-03-11 07:06:48 +00003657- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS
3658 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols
3659 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an
3660 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than
3661 directly. You should not need to touch this setting.
3662
Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00003663- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3664 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3665 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3666 the value can be calulated on a given board.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003668The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3669of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3670following configurations:
3671
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003672- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3673
3674 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3675 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3676
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003677- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003678
3679 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3680
3681 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3682 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3683 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3684 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3685 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3686 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3687 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3688 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3689 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3690 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3691 between U-Boot and the environment.
3692
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003693 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003694
3695 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3696 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3697 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3698 for this sector is given here.
3699
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003700 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003701
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003702 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003703
3704 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3705 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003706 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003707
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003708 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003709
3710 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3711
3712
3713 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3714 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3715 the environment.
3716
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003717 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003718
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003719 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003720 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003721 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3722 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3723
3724 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3725 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3726 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3727 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3728 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3729 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3730 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3731 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3732 RAM, your target system will be dead.
3733
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003734 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3735 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003736
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003737 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003738 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00003739 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003740 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003741
3742BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3743source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3744accordingly!
3745
3746
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02003747- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003748
3749 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3750 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3751 environment.
3752
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003753 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3754 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003755
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003756 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003757 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3758 can just be read and written to, without any special
3759 provision.
3760
3761BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3762in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003763console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003764U-Boot will hang.
3765
3766Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3767environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3768keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3769to save the current settings.
3770
3771
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02003772- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003773
3774 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3775 device and a driver for it.
3776
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003777 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3778 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003779
3780 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3781 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3782
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003783 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003784 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3785 The default address is zero.
3786
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003787 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003788 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3789 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3790 would require six bits.
3791
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003792 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003793 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00003794 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003796 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003797 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
3798 that this is NOT the chip address length!
3799
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003800 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003801 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3802 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3803 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3804 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3805 byte chips.
3806
3807 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3808 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3809 in the chip address.
3810
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003811 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003812 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3813
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003814 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3815 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3816 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3817
3818 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3819 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3820 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3821 EEPROM. For example:
3822
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003823 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003824
3825 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3826 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003830 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003831 want to use for the environment.
3832
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003833 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3834 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3835 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003836
3837 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3838 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3839 at the specified address.
3840
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003841- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3842
3843 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3844 want to use for the local device's environment.
3845
3846 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3847 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3848
3849 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3850 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3851 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003852 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003853
3854BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3855"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003856environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3857but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003858
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD51bfee12008-09-10 22:47:58 +02003859- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003860
3861 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3862 for the environment.
3863
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003864 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3865 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00003866
3867 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003868 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3869 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00003870
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003871 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003872
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003873 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003874 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3875 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003876 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003877 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003878
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003879 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3880
3881 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3882 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3883 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3884 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3885 the range to be avoided.
3886
3887 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3888
3889 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3890 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3891 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3892 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3893 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01003894
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003895- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3896
3897 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3898 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3899 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3900
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003901- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3902
3903 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3904 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3905 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3906
3907 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3908
3909 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3910
3911 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3912
3913 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3914 environment in.
3915
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00003916 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3917
3918 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3919 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3920 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3921
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003922 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3923 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3924
3925 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3926 when storing the env in UBI.
3927
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003928- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3929
3930 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3931 environment.
3932
3933 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3934
3935 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3936
3937 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3938
3939 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3940 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3941 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3942
3943 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3944 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3945
3946 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3947 area within the specified MMC device.
3948
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003949 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3950 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3951 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3952 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3953 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3954 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3955 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3956
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003957 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3958 MMC sector boundary.
3959
3960 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3961
3962 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3963 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3964 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3965 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3966
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06003967 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3968 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3969
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06003970 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3971 an MMC sector boundary.
3972
3973 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3974
3975 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3976 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3977 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3978
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003979- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003980
3981 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3982 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3983 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3984 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3985 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3986 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3987 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3988
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07003989Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003990has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02003991created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003992until then to read environment variables.
3993
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00003994The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3995is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3996with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3997necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3998"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3999have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004000
4001Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4002the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004003use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004004
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004005- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004006 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004007
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004008 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004009 also needs to be defined.
4010
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004011- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004012 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004013
Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004014- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4015 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4016 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4017 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4018 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4019 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4020
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004021- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4022 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4023 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4024 to do this.
4025
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004026- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4027 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4028 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4029 present.

4036
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004037- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004038 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004039
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004040 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4041 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4042 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004044- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4045 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4046 PowerPC SOCs.
4047
4048- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4049 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4050 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4051
4052 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4053 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4054
4055- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4056 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4057 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004058 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004059 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4060 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4061 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4062
4063 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4064 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4065
4066- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004067 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4068 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004069 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4070 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4071
4072- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4073 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4074 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4075 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4076
4077- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4078 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4079 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004093 defines the offset of register from address. It
4094 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004095 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004101 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004102 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4103 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4104 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4105 initializations.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004137 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4138 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004139 data is located at the end of the available space
Wolfgang Denk553f0982010-10-26 13:32:32 +02004140 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004141 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4142 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4143 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004144
4145 Note:
4146 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4147 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004148 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004149 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4150 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4294 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4295
4296- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4297 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004298 to the given FEC; i. e.
4299 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004300 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4301
4302 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4303
4304- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4305 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4306 (so program the FEC to ignore it).

4329 "md/mw" commands.
4330 Examples:
4331
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004332 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004333 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.

4337
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004338 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004339 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004342 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004343 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4344 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4345 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004346
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004347 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4348 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4349 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4350 these initializations itself.

4360 It is loaded by the SPL.
4361
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004362- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4363 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4364 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4365 previous 4k of the .text section.
4366
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004367- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4368 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4369 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4370 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4371 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4372 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4373 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4374 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4375
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004376- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4377 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4378 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4379 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4380 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4381
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004382- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4383 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4384 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004385
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004386- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004391Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4392-----------------------------------
4393
4394The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4395loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4396This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4397are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4398within that device.
4399
4400- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4401 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4402 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4403 is also specified.
4404
4405- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4406 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4407 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4408 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4409 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4410
4411- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4412 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4413 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4414 virtual address in NOR flash.
4415

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004435Building the Software:
4436======================
4437
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004438Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4439and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4440all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4441(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4442recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4443which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004444
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004445If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4446have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4447you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4448Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4449necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004450
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004451 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4452 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004453
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004454Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4455 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4456 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4457 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4458
4459 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4460
4461 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4462 be executed on computers running Windows.
4463
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004464U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4465sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004466is done by typing:
4467
4468 make NAME_config
4469
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004470where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004471rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004472
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004473Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4474 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4475 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4476 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004477 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004478
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004479 make TQM823L_config
4480 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004481
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004482 make TQM823L_LCD_config
4483 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004484
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004485 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004486
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004487
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004488Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4489images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004490
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004491- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4492- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4493- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004494
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004495By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4496in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4497this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4498
44991. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4500
4501 make O=/tmp/build distclean
4502 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4503 make O=/tmp/build all
4504
45052. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4506
4507 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4508 make distclean
4509 make NAME_config
4510 make all
4511
4512Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4513variable.
4514
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004515
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004516Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4517for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4518native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004519
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004520
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004521If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4522to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4523steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004524
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000045251. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004526 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4527 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000045282. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4529 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4530 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
45313. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4532 your board
45333. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4534 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
45354. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
45365. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4537 to be installed on your target system.
45386. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4539 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004542Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4543==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004544
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004545If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4546or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004547provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4548the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004549official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004550
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004551But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4552cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004553the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4554just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004555for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4556select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4557environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4558you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004559
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004560 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004561
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004562or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004563
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004564 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004565
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004566When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4567U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4568setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4569built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4570<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4571location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4572variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004573
4574 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4575 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4576 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4577
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004578With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4579log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4580during the whole build process.

4644======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004645
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004646U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4647can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004648
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004649Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4650"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4651without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4652environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4653working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4654environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

4672 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4673 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4674 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4675 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux

Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004680 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4681 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4682 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4683 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4684 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is

4703 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4704 be automatically started (by internally calling
4705 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004706
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004707 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4708 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4709 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4710 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4711 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004712
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004713 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4714 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004715 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4716 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4717 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4718 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4719 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4720 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4721 access it during the boot procedure.
4722
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004723 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4724 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4725 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4726 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4727 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4728 must be accessible by the kernel.
4729
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004730 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4731 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4732 defined.
4733
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004734 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4735 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4736 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4737 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4738 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4739
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004740 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4741 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4742 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4743 is usually what you want since it allows for
4744 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4745 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004746 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004747 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4748 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4749 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4750 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004751
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004752 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4753 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4754 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4755 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4756 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4757 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004758
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004759 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004760
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004761 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4762 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4763 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4764 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4765 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4766 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4767 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004786 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4787 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004788
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004789 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004794 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4795 available network interfaces.
4796 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4797
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004798 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004799 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4800 When set to "once" the network operation will
4801 fail when all the available network interfaces
4802 are tried once without success.
4803 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4804 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004805
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004806 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01004807
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004808 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4809 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4810 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4811 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4812 is silent.
4813
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004814 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02004815 UDP source port.
4816
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004817 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4818 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4819
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004820 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4821 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4822
4823 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4824 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4825 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4826 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4827 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4828 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4829 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4830
4831 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004832 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004835The following image location variables contain the location of images
4836used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4837not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4838variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4839server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4840loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4841flash or offset in NAND flash.
4842
4843*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4844boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4845boards use these variables for other purposes.

4855updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4856depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00004857
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004858 bootfile - see above
4859 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
4860 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4861 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4862 hostname - Target hostname
4863 ipaddr - see above
4864 netmask - Subnet Mask
4865 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4866 serverip - see above

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004869There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004870
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004871 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
4872 as type string and/or serial number
4873 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004874
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004875These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4876the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4877once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004878
4879
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004880Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004881
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004882 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4883 with the "version" command. This variable is
4884 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004885

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06004891Callback functions for environment variables:
4892---------------------------------------------
4893
4894For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4895when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
4896be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
4897deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4898effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4899
4900The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4901U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4902
4903These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
4904static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4905in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4906associations. The list must be in the following format:
4907
4908 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4909 list = entry[,list]
4910
4911If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4912Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4913
4914Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4915with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
4916override any association in the static list. You can define
4917CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4918".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004924There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4925the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00004926
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004927Old, simple command line parser:
4928--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004929
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004930- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4931- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004932- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004933- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4934 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01004935 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004936- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4937 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004938

4940-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004941
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004942- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4943 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4944 until...do...done, ...
4945- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4946 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4947 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4948 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004949
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004950General rules:
4951--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004952
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004953(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4954 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4955 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4956 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004957
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004958(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004959 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004960 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4961 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004963Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4964=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004965
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004966Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004967such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4968"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004969
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004970Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4971MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4972"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004973
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004974If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4975in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4976ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4977variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00004978
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004979o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4980 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004981
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004982o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4983 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4984 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004985
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004986o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005002Image Formats:
5003==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005004
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005005U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5006images in two formats:
5007
5008New uImage format (FIT)
5009-----------------------
5010
5011Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5012to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5013components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5014SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5015
5016
5017Old uImage format
5018-----------------
5019
5020Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5021preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5022details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005042
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005043Linux Support:
5044==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005045
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005046Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5047easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5048U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005049
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005050U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5051special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5052"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5053instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5054serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005055
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005056- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5057 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5058 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005059
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005060- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5061 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005062
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005063- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5064 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5065 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5066 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5067 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5068 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005069

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005071Linux HOWTO:
5072============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005073
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005074Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5075---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005076
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005077U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5078configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5079(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5080Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005081
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005082But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005083
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005084Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5085include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005086Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5087and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005088as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005089
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005090
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005091Configuring the Linux kernel:
5092-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005093
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005094No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5095device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005096
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005097
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005098Building a Linux Image:
5099-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005100
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005101With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5102not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5103"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5104U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5105which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5106100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005107
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005108Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005109
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005110 make TQM850L_config
5111 make oldconfig
5112 make dep
5113 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005114
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005115The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5116encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5117CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005118
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005119* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005120
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005121* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005122
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005123 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5124 -R .note -R .comment \
5125 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005126
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005127* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005128
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005129 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005130
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005131* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005132
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005133 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5134 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5135 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005136
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005137
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005138The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5139with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5140combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5141byte header containing information about target architecture,
5142operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5143stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005144
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005145"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5146print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005147
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005148In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5149contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5150checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005151
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005152 tools/mkimage -l image
5153 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005154
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005155The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5156from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005157
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005158 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5159 -n name -d data_file image
5160 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5161 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5162 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5163 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5164 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5165 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5166 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5167 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005168
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005169Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5170address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5171kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005172
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005173- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5174- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005175
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005176So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005177

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005234To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5235you must convert the image to S-Record format:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005239The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5240image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5241address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5242specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5243command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005411More About U-Boot Image Types:
5412------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005413
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005414U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005415
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005416 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5417 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5418 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5419 the Standalone Program.
5420 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5421 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5422 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5423 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5424 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5425 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5426 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5427 being started.
5428 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5429 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5430 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5431 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5432 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5433 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005434
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005435 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5436 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5437 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5438 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5439 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5440 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005441
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005442 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5443 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5444 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005445
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005446 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5447 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5448 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5449 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005451Booting the Linux zImage:
5452-------------------------
5453
5454On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5455using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5456as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5457
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005458Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005459kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5460address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5461format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005467One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5468run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5469U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005470

5477application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5478It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5479like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005505Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5506handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5507Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5508The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5509character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5510controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005576Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5577(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005578
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005579Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5580NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5581need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5582Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5583attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5584missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005585
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005586 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5587 # mkdir powerpc
5588 # ln -s powerpc machine
5589 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5590 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005591
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005592Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5593and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005594
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005595Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5596stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5597proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5598tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

5603=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005604
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005605The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5606implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5607inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5608hardware.

5612---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005613
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005614The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5615starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5616system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5617This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5618is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5619at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5620options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5621models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5622MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5623locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005624
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005625 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005633 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5634 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5635 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5636 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5637 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005638 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005639 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5640 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005642 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5643 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005644 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005645 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5646 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5647 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5648 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005649
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005650 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005651 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5652 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005653 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005654 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5655 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5656 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5657 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5658 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005663It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5664code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005665
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005666* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5667 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005668
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005669* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005670 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5671 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005672
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005673* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5674 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005675
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005676Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5677normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5678turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5679simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5680functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5681functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5682the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5683place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5684reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005685
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005686When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5687relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5688GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005689
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005690For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5691 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005692 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005693 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5694 R5-R10: parameter passing
5695 R13: small data area pointer
5696 R30: GOT pointer
5697 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005698
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005699 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5700 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5701 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005704
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005705 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5706 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5707 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5708 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5709 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5710 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005758Memory Management:
5759------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005760
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005761U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5762MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005763
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005764The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5765controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5766memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5767physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005768
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005769U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5770TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5771booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5772to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005773memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005774configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5775Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005776
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005777Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5778of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005779
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005780So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5781this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005782

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005806In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005807(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005808configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5809To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5810To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5811initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5812which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5813part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5814the caches and the SIU.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005816Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5817preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5818(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5819on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5820programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5821simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5822banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005823
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005824When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5825different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5826bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
58270x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5828contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005829
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005830Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5831and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5832Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5833pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005834
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005835Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5836until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5837running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5838new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005915Coding Standards:
5916-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005917
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005918All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005919coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005920"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005921
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02005922Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5923MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5924reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5925sources.
5926
5927Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5928Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5929in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005930
5931Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5932- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005933- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005934- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005935- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005936- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5937
5938Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5939with a request to reformat the changes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005945Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5946establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5947may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005948
Magnus Lilja0d28f342008-08-06 19:32:33 +02005949Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01005951Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5952see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5953
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005954When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5955it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005956
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005957* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5958 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5959 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005960
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005961* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5962 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005963
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005964* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5965
5966* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
5967
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02005968* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5969 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005970
5971* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5972 document these in the README file.
5973
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005974* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5975 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00005976 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005977 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5978 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005979
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005980 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5981 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5982 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005983
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005984 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5985 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5986 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5987 affected files).
5988
5989 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5990 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005991
5992* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5993 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5994
5995* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5996 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5997
5998
5999Notes:
6000
6001* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6002 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6003 for any of the boards.
6004
6005* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6006 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6007 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6008
6009* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6010 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6011 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6012 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6013 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6014 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006015
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006016* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6017 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6018 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6019 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
