8Summary:
9========
10
11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12Embedded 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.
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20support 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.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board
39maintainers.
40
41Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
42it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:

227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237  "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
242  "CONFIG_SYS_".
243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259	cd u-boot
260	make TQM823L_defconfig
261
262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
275See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
276
277
278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
294The following options need to be configured:
295
296- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
297
298- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
299
300- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
301		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
302
303- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
304		Define exactly one of
305		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
306--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
307		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
308		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
309
310- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
311		Define exactly one of
312		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
313
314- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
315		Define one or more of
316		CONFIG_CMA302
317
318- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
319		Define one or more of
320		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
321					  the LCD display every second with
322					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
323
324- Marvell Family Member
325		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
326					  multiple fs option at one time
327					  for marvell soc family
328
329- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
330		Define exactly one of
331		CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
332
333- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
334		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
335					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
336					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
337					  reference PIT/RTC clock
338		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
339					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
340
341- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
342		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
343		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
344		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
345			See doc/README.MPC866
346
347		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
348
349		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
350		of relying on the correctness of the configured
351		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
352		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
353		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
354		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
355
356		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
357
358		Define this option if you want to enable the
359		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
360
361- 85xx CPU Options:
362		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
363
364		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
365		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
366		compliance, among other possible reasons.
367
368		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
369
370		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
371		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
372		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
373
374		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
375
376		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
377		tree nodes for the given platform.
378
379		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
380
381		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
382		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
383		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
384		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
385		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
386		purpose.
387
388		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
389
390		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
391		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
392		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
393
394		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
395		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
396
397		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
398		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
399
400		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
401		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
402		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
403		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
404
405		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
406		this erratum.
407
408		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
409		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
410		requred during NOR boot.
411
412		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
413
414		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
415		according to the A004510 workaround.
416
417		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
418		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
419		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
420
421		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
422		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
423		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
424
425		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
426		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
427		connected to the DSP core.
428
429		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
430		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
431
432		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
433		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
434		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
435		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
436
437		CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
438		This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
439		time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
440
441		CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
442		Inidcates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
443		supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
444
445- Generic CPU options:
446		CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
447		Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
448		If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
449		generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
450		should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
451
452		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
453
454		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
455		values is arch specific.

528		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_LE
529		Defines the DDR controller register space as Little Endian
530
531		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_SDRAM_BASE_PHY
532		Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the
533		same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for  all Power SoCs. But
534		it could be different for ARM SoCs.
535
536		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B
537		DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special
538		interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape
539		SoCs with ARM core.
540
541		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_MAIN_NUM_CTRLS
542		Number of controllers used as main memory.
543
544		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_OTHER_DDR_NUM_CTRLS
545		Number of controllers used for other than main memory.
546
547		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_BE
548		Defines the SEC controller register space as Big Endian
549
550		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE
551		Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian
552
553- Intel Monahans options:
554		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
555
556		Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
557		ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
558		frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
559
560		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
561
562		Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
563		ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
564		2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
565		by this value.
566
567- MIPS CPU options:
568		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
569
570		Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
571		pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
572		relocation.
573
574		CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
575
576		Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
577		See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
578		Possible values are:
579			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
580			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
581			CONF_CM_UNCACHED
582			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
583			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
584			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
585			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
586			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
587
588		CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
589
590		Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
591		See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
592
593		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
594
595		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
596		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
597		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
598
599- ARM options:
600		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
601
602		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
603		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
604
605		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
606
607		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
608		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
609		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
610		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
611		GCC.
612
613		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
614		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
615		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
616		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
617		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
618		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
619
620		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
621		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
622		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
623		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
624		set these options unless they apply!
625
626- Driver Model
627		Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
628		introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
629		moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
630		supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
631		handling of platform data and device tree.
632
633		To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
634		painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
635		switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
636		driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
637		interfaces include compatibility features which may be
638		removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
639		As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
640		not change with driver model.
641
642		See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
643
644		CONFIG_DM
645
646		Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
647		including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
648		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
649		scanned also when available.
650
651		CONFIG_CMD_DM
652
653		Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
654		out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
655
656		CONFIG_DM_DEMO
657
658		Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
659		really only useful for playing around while trying to
660		understand driver model in sandbox.
661
662		CONFIG_SPL_DM
663
664		Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
665		suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
666		full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
667		consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
668		must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
669		In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
670		and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
671		CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
672		it.
673
674		CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
675
676		Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
677		drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
678		implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
679		defined in include/serial.h.
680
681		CONFIG_DM_GPIO
682
683		Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
684		interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
685		the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
686		particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
687		is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
688
689		CONFIG_DM_SPI
690
691		Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
692		(spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
693		the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
694		buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
695		include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
696		as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
697		typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
698		spi_slave structure.
699
700		CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
701
702		Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
703		(spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
704		implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
705		SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
706		supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
707		include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
708		with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
709		during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
710		enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
711		for one and not the other).
712
713		CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
714
715		Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
716		allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
717		but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
718		I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
719		conversion is not yet possible.
720
721
722		** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
723		default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
724		features in SPL.
725
726		CONFIG_DM_WARN
727
728		Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
729		of space for its strings.
730
731		CONFIG_DM_STDIO
732
733		Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
734
735		CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
736
737		Enable removing of devices.
738
739
740- Linux Kernel Interface:
741		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
742
743		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
744		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
745		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
746		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
747		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
748		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
749		Linux kernel.
750		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
751		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
752		default environment.
753
754		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
755
756		When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
757		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
758		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
759
760		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
761
762		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
763		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
764		concepts).
765
766		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
767		 * New libfdt-based support
768		 * Adds the "fdt" command
769		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
770
771		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
772			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
773		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
774			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
775		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
776		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
777
778		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
779		addresses
780
781		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
782
783		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
784		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
785
786		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
787
788		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
789		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
790		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
791		the kernel.
792
793		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
794
795		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
796		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
797
798		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
799
800		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
801		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
802		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
803		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
804		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
805		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
806
807		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
808
809		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
810		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
811		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
812		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
813		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
814		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
815		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
816
817- vxWorks boot parameters:
818
819		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
820		environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
821		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
822
823		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
824		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
825		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
826		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
827
828		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
829
830		Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
831
832		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
833		the defaults discussed just above.
834
835- Cache Configuration:
836		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
837		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
838		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
839
840- Cache Configuration for ARM:
841		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
842				      controller
843		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
844					controller register space
845
846- Serial Ports:
847		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
848
849		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
850
851		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
852
853		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
854
855		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
856
857		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
858		the clock speed of the UARTs.
859
860		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
861
862		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
863		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
864		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
865
866		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
867
868		Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
869		have separate receive and transmit line control registers.  Set
870		this variable to initialize the extra register.
871
872		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
873
874		On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
875		boot loader that has already initialized the UART.  Define this
876		variable to flush the UART at init time.
877
878		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
879
880		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
881		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
882
883- Console Interface:
884		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
885		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
886		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
887		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
888
889		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
890		port routines must be defined elsewhere
891		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
892
893		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
894		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
895		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
896			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
897						(default big endian)
898			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
899						rectangle fill
900						(cf. smiLynxEM)
901			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
902						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
903			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
904						(cols=pitch)
905			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
906			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
907			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
908						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
909			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
910			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
911						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
912			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
913						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
914			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
915						(i.e. i8042_getc)
916			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
917						(requires blink timer
918						cf. i8042.c)
919			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
920			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
921						upper right corner
922						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
923			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
924						upper left corner
925			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
926						linux_logo.h for logo.
927						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
928			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
929						additional board info beside
930						the logo
931
932		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
933		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
934		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
935
936		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
937		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
938		environment 'console=serial'.
939
940		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
941		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
942		the "silent" environment variable. See
943		doc/README.silent for more information.
944
945		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
946			is 0x00.
947		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
948			is 0xa0.
949
950- Console Baudrate:
951		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
952		Select one of the baudrates listed in
953		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
954		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
955
956- Console Rx buffer length
957		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
958		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
959		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
960		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
961		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
962		the SMC.
963
964- Pre-Console Buffer:
965		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
966		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
967		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
968		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
969		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
970		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
971		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
972		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
973		earlier bytes are discarded.
974
975		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
976		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
977
978- Safe printf() functions
979		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
980		the printf() functions. These are defined in
981		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
982		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
983		If this option is not given then these functions will
984		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
985		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
986
987- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
988		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
989		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
990		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
991		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
992
993		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
994		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
995		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
996		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
997		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
998		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
999		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
1000		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
1001		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
1002		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
1003		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
1004		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
1005
1006- Autoboot Command:
1007		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
1008		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
1009		define a command string that is automatically executed
1010		when no character is read on the console interface
1011		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
1012
1013		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
1014		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
1015		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
1016		environment value "bootargs".
1017
1018		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
1019		The value of these goes into the environment as
1020		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
1021		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
1022		RAM and NFS.
1023
1024- Bootcount:
1025		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1026		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1027		cycle, see:
1028		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1029
1030		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1031		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1032		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1033		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1034		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1035		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1036		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1037		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1038		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1039
1040- Pre-Boot Commands:
1041		CONFIG_PREBOOT
1042
1043		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1044		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1045		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1046		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1047		entering interactive mode.
1048
1049		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1050		automatically generated or modified. For an example
1051		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1052		modified when the user holds down a certain
1053		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1054		booting the systems
1055
1056- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1057		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1058		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1059		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1060		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1061		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1062		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1063		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

1190		support you can write:
1191
1192		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1193		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1194
1195	Other Commands:
1196		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1197
1198	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1199		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1200		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1201		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1202		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1203		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1204		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1205		initial stack and some data.
1206
1207
1208		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1209
1210- Regular expression support:
1211		CONFIG_REGEX
1212		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1213		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1214		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1215		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1216
1217- Device tree:
1218		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1219		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1220		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1221		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1222		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1223		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1224
1225		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1226		be done using one of the two options below:
1227
1228		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1229		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1230		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1231		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1232		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1233		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1234
1235		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1236		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1237		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1238		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1239
1240			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1241
1242		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1243		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1244		still use the individual files if you need something more
1245		exotic.
1246
1247- Watchdog:
1248		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1249		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1250		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1251		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1252		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1253		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1254		available, then no further board specific code should
1255		be needed to use it.
1256
1257		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1258		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1259		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1260		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1261
1262- U-Boot Version:
1263		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1264		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1265		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1266		version as printed by the "version" command.
1267		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1268		next reset.
1269
1270- Real-Time Clock:
1271
1272		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1273		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1274		following options:
1275
1276		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1277		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1278		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1279		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1280		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1281		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1282		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1283		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1284		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1285		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1286		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1287		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1288		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1289					  RV3029 RTC.
1290
1291		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1292		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1293
1294- GPIO Support:
1295		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1296
1297		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1298		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1299		pins supported by a particular chip.
1300
1301		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1302		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1303
1304- I/O tracing:
1305		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1306		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1307		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1308		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1309		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1310		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1311		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1312		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1313
1314		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1315		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1316		still continue to operate.
1317
1318			iotrace is enabled
1319			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1320			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1321			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
1322			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
1323			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
1324			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
1325
1326- Timestamp Support:
1327
1328		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1329		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1330		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1331		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1332
1333- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1334		Zero or more of the following:
1335		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1336		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1337				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1338		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1339		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1340				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1341				       disk/part_efi.c
1342		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1343
1344		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1345		CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1346		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1347
1348- IDE Reset method:
1349		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1350		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1351
1352		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1353		be performed by calling the function
1354			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1355		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1356
1357- ATAPI Support:
1358		CONFIG_ATAPI
1359
1360		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1361
1362- LBA48 Support
1363		CONFIG_LBA48
1364
1365		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1366		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1367		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1368		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1369
1370		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1371			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1372			Default is 32bit.
1373
1374- SCSI Support:
1375		At the moment only there is only support for the
1376		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1377		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1378
1379		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1380		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1381		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1382		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1383		devices.
1384		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1385
1386		The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1387		SCSI devices found during the last scan.

1536
1537			CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS
1538			Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped
1539			to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at
1540			0xfed40000.
1541
1542		CONFIG_CMD_TPM
1543		Add tpm monitor functions.
1544		Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also
1545		provides monitor access to authorized functions.
1546
1547		CONFIG_TPM
1548		Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides
1549		functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
1550		Requires support for a TPM device.
1551
1552		CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS

1554		Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
1555
1556- USB Support:
1557		At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1558		supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
1559		CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1560		define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1561		and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1562		storage devices.
1563		Note:
1564		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1565		(TEAC FD-05PUB).
1566		MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1567			CONFIG_USB_CLOCK
1568				for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1569			CONFIG_PSC3_USB
1570				for USB on PSC3
1571			CONFIG_USB_CONFIG
1572				for differential drivers: 0x00001000
1573				for single ended drivers: 0x00005000
1574				for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100
1575				for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100
1576			CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
1577				May be defined to allow interrupt polling
1578				instead of using asynchronous interrupts
1579
1580		CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1581		txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1582
1583		CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1584		HW module registers.
1585
1586- USB Device:
1587		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1588		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1589		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1590		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1591		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1592		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1593		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1594		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1595		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1596		a Linux host by
1597		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1598		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1599		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1600		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1601
1602			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1603			Define this to build a UDC device
1604
1605			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1606			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1607			talk to the UDC device
1608
1609			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1610			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1611			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1612			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1613			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1614			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1615			speed.
1616
1617			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1618			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1619			be set to usbtty.
1620
1621			mpc8xx:
1622				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1623				Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1624				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1625
1626				CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1627				Derive USB clock from brgclk
1628				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1629
1630		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1631		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1632		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1633		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1634		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1635		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1636
1637			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1638			Define this string as the name of your company for
1639			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1640
1641			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1642			Define this string as the name of your product
1643			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1644
1645			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1646			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1647			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1648			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1649			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1650
1651			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1652			Define this as the unique Product ID
1653			for your device
1654			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1655
1656- ULPI Layer Support:
1657		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1658		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1659		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1660		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1661		viewport is supported.
1662		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1663		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1664		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1665		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1666		the appropriate value in Hz.
1667
1668- MMC Support:
1669		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1670		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1671		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1672		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1673		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1674		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1675
1676		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1677		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1678
1679			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR

1696		CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1697		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1698
1699		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1700		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1701		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1702		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1703		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1704
1705		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1706		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1707
1708		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1709		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1710
1711		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1712		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1713		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1714		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1715		one that would help mostly the developer.
1716
1717		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1718		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1719		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1720		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1721		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1722
1723		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1724		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1725		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1726		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1727		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1728		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1729
1730		DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1731		Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1732		host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1733		a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1734
1735		DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1736		Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1737		entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1738		sending again an USB request to the device.
1739
1740- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1741		CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1742		This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1743		fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1744		protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1745		used on Android devices.
1746		See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1747
1748		CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1749		This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1750		image format header.
1751
1752		CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1753		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1754		downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1755		downloaded images.
1756
1757		CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1758		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1759		downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1760		platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1761
1762		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1763		The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1764		the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1765		this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1766
1767		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1768		The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1769		regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1770		the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1771
1772- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1773		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1774		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1775		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1776
1777		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1778		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1779		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1780
1781		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1782		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1783		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1784
1785		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1786		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1787		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1788		have not defined a custom partition
1789
1790- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1791		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1792
1793		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1794		file in FAT formatted partition.
1795
1796		This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1797		user to write files to FAT.
1798
1799CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1800		CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1801
1802		Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1803		filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1804		and cbfsload.
1805
1806- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1807		CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1808
1809		Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1810		a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1811
1812- Keyboard Support:
1813		CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
1814
1815		Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1816		support
1817
1818		CONFIG_I8042_KBD
1819		Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1820		GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1821		Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1822		for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1823
1824		CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB
1825		Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface.
1826		This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller
1827		which provides key scans on request.
1828
1829- Video support:
1830		CONFIG_VIDEO
1831
1832		Define this to enable video support (for output to
1833		video).
1834
1835		CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1836
1837		Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1838
1839		CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1840		Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1841		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1842		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1843		assumed.
1844
1845		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1846		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1847		are possible:
1848		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1849		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1850
1851		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1852		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1853		      8 bits |	0x301*	0x303	 0x305	  0x161	    0x307
1854		     15 bits |	0x310	0x313	 0x316	  0x162	    0x319
1855		     16 bits |	0x311	0x314	 0x317	  0x163	    0x31A
1856		     24 bits |	0x312	0x315	 0x318	    ?	    0x31B
1857		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1858		(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1859
1860		- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1861		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1862
1863
1864		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1865		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1866		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1867		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1868
1869		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1870		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1871		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1872		support, and should also define these other macros:
1873
1874			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1875			CONFIG_VIDEO
1876			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1877			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1878			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1879			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1880			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1881			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1882
1883		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1884		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1885		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1886		description of this variable.
1887
1888		CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1889
1890		Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1891		are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1892		driver.
1893
1894
1895- Keyboard Support:
1896		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1897
1898		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1899		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1900		defined in your board-specific files.
1901		The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1902
1903- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1904
1905		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1906		display); also select one of the supported displays
1907		by defining one of these:
1908
1909		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1910
1911			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1912
1913		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1914
1915			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1916
1917		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1918
1919			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1920			Active, color, single scan.
1921
1922		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1923
1924			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1925			Active, color, single scan.
1926
1927		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1928
1929			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1930			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1931
1932		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1933
1934			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1935			Active, color, single scan.
1936
1937		CONFIG_HLD1045
1938
1939			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1940			Active, color, single scan.
1941
1942		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1943
1944			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1945			or
1946			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1947			or
1948			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1949
1950			320x240. Black & white.
1951
1952		Normally display is black on white background; define
1953		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1954
1955		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1956
1957		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1958		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1959		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1960		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1961		a per-section basis.
1962
1963		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1964
1965		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1966		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1967		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1968		is slow.
1969
1970		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1971
1972		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1973
1974		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1975
1976		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1977		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1978
1979- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1980
1981		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1982		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1983		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1984		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1985		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1986		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1987		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1988		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1989
1990		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1991
1992		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1993		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1994		(see README.displaying-bmps).
1995		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1996		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1997		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1998		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1999		there is no need to set this option.
2000
2001		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2002
2003		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2004		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2005		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2006		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2007		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2008		specify 'm' for centering the image.
2009
2010		Example:
2011		setenv splashpos m,m
2012			=> image at center of screen
2013
2014		setenv splashpos 30,20
2015			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
2016
2017		setenv splashpos -10,m
2018			=> vertically centered image
2019			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2020
2021- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2022
2023		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2024		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2025		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2026
2027- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2028
2029		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2030		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2031		bmp command.
2032
2033- Do compresssing for memory range:
2034		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2035
2036		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2037		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2038
2039- Compression support:
2040		CONFIG_GZIP
2041
2042		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2043
2044		CONFIG_BZIP2
2045
2046		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2047		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2048		compressed images are supported.
2049
2050		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
2051		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
2052		be at least 4MB.
2053
2054		CONFIG_LZMA
2055
2056		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2057		images is included.
2058
2059		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2060		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2061		formula:
2062
2063			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2064
2065		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2066		and Literal pos bits.
2067
2068		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2069		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2070		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2071		a very small buffer.
2072
2073		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2074		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
2075		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
2076
2077		CONFIG_LZO
2078
2079		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2080		is included.
2081
2082- MII/PHY support:
2083		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2084
2085		The address of PHY on MII bus.
2086
2087		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2088
2089		The clock frequency of the MII bus
2090
2091		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2092
2093		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
2094		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
2095
2096		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2097
2098		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2099		reset before any MII register access is possible.
2100		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2101		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2102
2103		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2104
2105		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2106		command issued before MII status register can be read
2107
2108- Ethernet address:
2109		CONFIG_ETHADDR
2110		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
2111		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
2112		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
2113		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
2114		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
2115
2116		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
2117		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
2118		is not determined automatically.
2119
2120- IP address:
2121		CONFIG_IPADDR
2122
2123		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
2124		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
2125		determined through e.g. bootp.
2126		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
2127
2128- Server IP address:
2129		CONFIG_SERVERIP
2130
2131		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
2132		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
2133		(Environment variable "serverip")
2134
2135		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2136
2137		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2138		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2139
2140- Gateway IP address:
2141		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2142
2143		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2144		default router where packets to other networks are
2145		sent to.
2146		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
2147
2148- Subnet mask:
2149		CONFIG_NETMASK
2150
2151		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2152		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2153		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2154		forwarded through a router.
2155		(Environment variable "netmask")
2156
2157- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2158		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2159
2160		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2161		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
2162		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
2163		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2164		multicast group.
2165
2166- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2167		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2168
2169		If you have many targets in a network that try to
2170		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2171		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2172		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2173		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2174		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2175		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2176		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2177		following delays are inserted then:
2178
2179		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
2180		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
2181		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
2182		4th and following
2183		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
2184
2185		CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2186
2187		BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2188		server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2189		U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2190		an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2191		aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2192		ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2193		respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2194		takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2195		time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2196		to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2197		retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2198		IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2199		cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2200		requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2201		from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2202
2203- DHCP Advanced Options:
2204		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2205		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2206
2207		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2208		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2209		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2210		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2211		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2212		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2213		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2214		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2215		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2216		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2217		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2218		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2219		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2220
2221		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2222		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2223
2224		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2225		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2226		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
2227		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2228		is not available.
2229
2230		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2231		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2232		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2233		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2234		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2235		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2236		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2237		is defined.
2238
2239		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2240		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2241		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2242		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2243		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2244		option 12 to the DHCP server.
2245
2246		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2247
2248		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2249		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2250		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2251		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2252		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2253		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2254		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2255		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2256		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2257		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2258		this delay.
2259
2260 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2261		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2262		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2263		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2264		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2265
2266		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2267
2268 - CDP Options:
2269		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2270
2271		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2272
2273		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2274
2275		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2276		of the device.
2277
2278		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2279
2280		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2281		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2282		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2283
2284		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2285
2286		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2287		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2288
2289		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2290
2291		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2292
2293		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2294
2295		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2296
2297		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2298
2299		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2300
2301		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2302
2303		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2304		device in .1 of milliwatts.
2305
2306		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2307
2308		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2309
2310- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2311
2312		Several configurations allow to display the current
2313		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2314		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2315		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2316		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2317		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2318		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2319		feature in U-Boot.
2320
2321		Additional options:
2322
2323		CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2324		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2325		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2326		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2327		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2328
2329		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2330		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2331		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2332		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2333		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2334		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2335
2336- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2337
2338		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2339		on those systems that support this (optional)
2340		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2341
2342- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2343
2344		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2345		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2346		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2347		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2348		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2349		interface.
2350

2469
2470		additional defines:
2471
2472		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2473		Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2474		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2475		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2476		omit this define.
2477
2478		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2479		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2480		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2481		omit this define.
2482
2483		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2484		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2485		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2486		define.
2487
2488		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2489		hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2490		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2491		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2492		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2493
2494		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2495					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2496					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2497					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2498					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2499					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2500					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2501					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2502					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2503					}
2504
2505		which defines
2506			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2507			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2508			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2509			bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2510			bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2511			bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2512			bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2513			bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2514			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2515
2516		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2517
2518- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2519
2520		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2521		provides the following compelling advantages:
2522
2523		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2524		- approved multibus support
2525		- better i2c mux support
2526
2527		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2528
2529		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2530		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2531		for the selected CPU.
2532
2533		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2534		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2535		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2536		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2537		command line interface.
2538
2539		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2540
2541		There are several other quantities that must also be
2542		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2543
2544		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2545		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2546		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2547		the CPU's i2c node address).
2548
2549		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2550		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2551		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2552		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2553		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2554
2555		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2556
2557		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2558		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2559		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2560		commands until the slave device responds.
2561
2562		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2563
2564		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2565		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2566		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2567
2568		I2C_INIT
2569
2570		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2571		controller or configure ports.
2572
2573		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2574
2575		I2C_PORT
2576
2577		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2578		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2579		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2580
2581		I2C_ACTIVE
2582
2583		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2584		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2585		define can be null.
2586
2587		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2588
2589		I2C_TRISTATE
2590
2591		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2592		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2593		define can be null.
2594
2595		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2596
2597		I2C_READ
2598
2599		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2600		false if it is low.
2601
2602		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2603
2604		I2C_SDA(bit)
2605
2606		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2607		is false, it clears it (low).
2608
2609		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2610			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2611			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2612
2613		I2C_SCL(bit)
2614
2615		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2616		is false, it clears it (low).
2617
2618		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2619			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2620			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2621
2622		I2C_DELAY
2623
2624		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2625		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2626		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2627		like:
2628
2629		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2630
2631		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2632
2633		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2634		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2635		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2636		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2637
2638		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2639		the generic GPIO functions.
2640
2641		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2642
2643		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2644		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2645		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2646		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2647		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2648		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2649		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2650		is run early in the boot sequence.
2651
2652		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2653
2654		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2655		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2656		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2657		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2658		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2659		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2660		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2661		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2662
2663		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2664
2665		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2666		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2667		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2668
2669		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2670
2671		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2672		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2673		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2674		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2675
2676		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2677
2678		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2679		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2680		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2681		a 1D array of device addresses
2682
2683		e.g.
2684			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2685			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2686
2687		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2688
2689			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2690			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2691
2692		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2693
2694		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2695
2696		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2697		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2698
2699		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2700
2701		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2702		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2703
2704		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2705
2706		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2707		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2708
2709		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2710
2711		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2712		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2713		specified DTT device.
2714
2715		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2716
2717		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2718		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2719		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2720		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2721		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2722		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2723		the other.
2724
2725- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2726
2727		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2728		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2729		D/As on the SACSng board)
2730
2731		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2732
2733		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2734		only SH7757 is supported.
2735
2736		CONFIG_SPI_X
2737
2738		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2739		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2740
2741		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2742
2743		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2744		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2745		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2746		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2747		defined, the board configuration must define several
2748		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2749		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2750
2751		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2752
2753		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2754		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2755		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2756		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2757		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2758
2759		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2760
2761		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2762		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2763
2764		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2765		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2766		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2767
2768- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2769
2770		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2771
2772		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2773
2774		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2775		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2776
2777		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2778
2779		Enables support for FPGA family.
2780		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2781
2782		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2783
2784		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2785
2786		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2787
2788		Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2789
2790		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2791
2792		Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2793
2794		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2795
2796		Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2797		(Xilinx only)
2798
2799		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2800
2801		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2802
2803		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2804
2805		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2806		status by the configuration function. This option
2807		will require a board or device specific function to
2808		be written.
2809
2810		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2811
2812		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2813		configuration driver.
2814
2815		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2816		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2817
2818		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2819
2820		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2821		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2822		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2823		indicated a CRC error).
2824
2825		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2826
2827		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2828		after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2829		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2830		ms.
2831
2832		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2833
2834		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
2835		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2836
2837		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2838
2839		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2840		200 ms.
2841
2842- Configuration Management:
2843		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2844
2845		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2846		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2847		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2848		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2849		make / MAKEALL.
2850
2851		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2852
2853		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2854		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2855
2856- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2857
2858		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2859		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2860		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2861		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2862		protects these variables from casual modification by
2863		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2864		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2865		change this behaviour:
2866
2867		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2868		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2869		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2870		these parameters.
2871
2872		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2873		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2874		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2875		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2876		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2877		read-only.]
2878
2879		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2880		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2881		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2882		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2883
2884- Protected RAM:
2885		CONFIG_PRAM
2886
2887		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2888		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2889		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2890		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2891		this default value by defining an environment
2892		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2893		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2894		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2895		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2896		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2897		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2898		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2899
2900			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2901			saveenv
2902
2903		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2904		either, which results in a memory region that will
2905		not be affected by reboots.
2906
2907		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2908		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2909		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2910		following board configurations are known to be
2911		"pRAM-clean":
2912
2913			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2914			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2915			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2916
2917- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2918		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2919		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2920		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2921		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2922		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2923		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2924
2925- Error Recovery:
2926		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2927
2928		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2929		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2930		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2931		system where you want the system to reboot
2932		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2933		useful during development since you can try to debug
2934		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2935
2936		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2937
2938		This variable defines the number of retries for
2939		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2940		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2941		default value of 5 is used.
2942
2943		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2944
2945		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2946
2947		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2948
2949		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2950		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2951		try longer timeout such as
2952		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2953
2954- Command Interpreter:
2955		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2956
2957		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2958
2959		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2960
2961		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2962		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2963		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2964
2965	Note:
2966
2967		In the current implementation, the local variables
2968		space and global environment variables space are
2969		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2970		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2971		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2972		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2973		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2974
2975		Global environment variables are those you use
2976		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2977		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2978		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2979
2980		To store commands and special characters in a
2981		variable, please use double quotation marks
2982		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2983		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2984		symbols.
2985
2986- Commandline Editing and History:
2987		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2988
2989		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2990		commandline input operations
2991
2992- Default Environment:
2993		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2994
2995		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2996		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2997		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2998
2999		For example, place something like this in your
3000		board's config file:
3001
3002		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
3003			"myvar1=value1\0" \
3004			"myvar2=value2\0"
3005
3006		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
3007		internal format how the environment is stored by the
3008		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3009		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
3010		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
3011		You better know what you are doing here.
3012
3013		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3014		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
3015		the environment like the "source" command or the
3016		boot command first.
3017
3018		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3019
3020		Define this in order to add variables describing the
3021		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3022		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3023
3024		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3025
3026		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3027		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3028		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3029		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3030		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3031
3032		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3033
3034		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3035		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3036		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3037
3038		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3039
3040		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
3041		intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
3042		that so that the environment is not available until
3043		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3044		this is instead controlled by the value of
3045		/config/load-environment.
3046
3047- DataFlash Support:
3048		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3049
3050		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3051		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3052		commands cp, md...
3053
3054- Serial Flash support
3055		CONFIG_CMD_SF
3056
3057		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3058		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3059
3060		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3061		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3062		commands.
3063
3064		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3065		to handle the common case when only a single serial
3066		flash is present on the system.
3067
3068		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
3069		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
3070		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
3071		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
3072
3073		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3074
3075		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3076		test ('sf test').
3077
3078		CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR		Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3079
3080		Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3081		support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3082
3083		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
3084
3085		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3086		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
3087		currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
3088
3089		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3090		enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3091		register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3092		The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3093		the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3094		device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3095		and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3096		nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3097		operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3098		hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3099
3100- SystemACE Support:
3101		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3102
3103		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3104		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
3105		of the chip must also be defined in the
3106		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3107
3108		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3109		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3110
3111		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3112		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3113
3114- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3115		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3116
3117		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3118		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3119		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3120		number generator is used.
3121
3122		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3123		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
3124		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3125
3126		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3127		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3128		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3129		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3130		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3131		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3132		but sometimes that is not allowed.
3133
3134- Hashing support:
3135		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3136
3137		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3138		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3139
3140		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3141
3142		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3143		size a little.
3144
3145		CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3146		CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3147
3148		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3149		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3150
3151- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3152		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3153		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3154		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3155
3156		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3157		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3158		a boot from specific media.
3159
3160		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3161		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3162		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3163		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
3164		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3165
3166- Signing support:
3167		CONFIG_RSA
3168
3169		This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
3170		in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
3171
3172		The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3173		option.
3174
3175- bootcount support:
3176		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3177
3178		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3179		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3180
3181		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3182		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3183		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3184		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3185		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3186		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3187		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3188		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3189		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3190		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3191			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3192			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3193						    the bootcounter.
3194			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3195
3196- Show boot progress:
3197		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3198
3199		Defining this option allows to add some board-
3200		specific code (calling a user-provided function
3201		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3202		the system's boot progress on some display (for
3203		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3204		the following checkpoints are implemented:
3205
3206- Detailed boot stage timing
3207		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3208		Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3209		of the boot process.
3210
3211		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3212		This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3213		Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3214		a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3215		the limit, recording will stop.
3216
3217		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3218		Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3219
3220		Timer summary in microseconds:
3221		       Mark    Elapsed  Stage
3222			  0          0  reset
3223		  3,575,678  3,575,678  board_init_f start
3224		  3,575,695         17  arch_cpu_init A9
3225		  3,575,777         82  arch_cpu_init done
3226		  3,659,598     83,821  board_init_r start
3227		  3,910,375    250,777  main_loop
3228		 29,916,167 26,005,792  bootm_start
3229		 30,361,327    445,160  start_kernel
3230
3231		CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3232		Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3233		and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3234
3235		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3236		Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3237		node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3238		has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3239		mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3240		accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3241		For example:
3242
3243		bootstage {
3244			154 {
3245				name = "board_init_f";
3246				mark = <3575678>;
3247			};
3248			170 {
3249				name = "lcd";
3250				accum = <33482>;
3251			};
3252		};
3253
3254		Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3427		When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3428		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3429		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3430		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3431		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3432
3433		CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3434		This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3435		using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See
3436		doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3437
3438		WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3439		signature check the legacy image format is default
3440		disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3441		enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3442
3443		CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3444		Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3445		For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3446		with this option.
3447
3448- Standalone program support:
3449		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3450
3451		This option defines a board specific value for the
3452		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3453		overwriting the architecture dependent default
3454		settings.
3455
3456- Frame Buffer Address:
3457		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3458
3459		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3460		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3461		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3462		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3463		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3464		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3465		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3466		configured panel size.
3467
3468		Please see board_init_f function.
3469
3470- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3471		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3472		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3473		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3474
3475		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3476		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3477
3478- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3479		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3480
3481		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3482		Needed for mtdparts command support.
3483
3484		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3485
3486		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3487		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3488
3489		CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE
3490		verify if the written data is correct reread.
3491
3492- UBI support
3493		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3494
3495		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3496		with the UBI flash translation layer
3497
3498		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3499
3500		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3501
3502		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3503		warnings and errors enabled.
3504
3505
3506		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3507		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3508		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3509		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3510		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3511		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3512
3513		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3514		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3515		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3516		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3517		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3518
3519		default: 4096
3520
3521		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3522		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3523		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3524		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3525		flash), this value is ignored.
3526
3527		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3528		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3529		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3530		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3531		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3532		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3533
3534		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3535		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3536		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3537		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3538		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3539		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3540		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3541		partition.
3542
3543		default: 20
3544
3545		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3546		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3547		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3548		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3549		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3550		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3551		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3552		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3553		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3554		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3555		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3556		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3557
3558		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3559		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3560		without a fastmap.
3561		default: 0
3562
3563- UBIFS support
3564		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3565
3566		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3567		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3568
3569		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3570
3571		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3572
3573		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3574		warnings and errors enabled.
3575

3733		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3734		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3735		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3736		to read U-Boot
3737
3738		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3739		Add support NAND boot
3740
3741		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3742		Location in NAND to read U-Boot from

3746
3747		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3748		Size of image to load
3749
3750		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3751		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3752
3753		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3754		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3755		data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms.
3756
3757		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3758		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3759		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3760
3761		CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
3762		Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary

3775
3776		CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
3777		Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3778
3779		CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3780		Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3781		It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3782		CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3783
3784		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3785		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3786		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3787		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3788		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3789		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3790
3791		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3792		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3793		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3794		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3795
3796		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3797		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3798		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3799		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3800		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3801
3802- TPL framework
3803		CONFIG_TPL
3804		Enable building of TPL globally.
3805
3806		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3807		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3808		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3809		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3810		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3811		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3812
3813Modem Support:
3814--------------
3815
3816[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3817
3818- Modem support enable:
3819		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3820
3821- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3822		CONFIG_HWFLOW
3823
3824- Modem debug support:
3825		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3826
3827		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3828		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3829
3830- Interrupt support (PPC):
3831
3832		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3833		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3834		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3835		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3836		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3837		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3838		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3839		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3840		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3841		general timer_interrupt().
3842
3843- General:
3844
3845		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3846		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3847		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3848		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3849		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3850		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3851		initialization.
3852
3853		If there are no modem init strings in the
3854		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3855		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3856		suppressed, though.
3857
3858		See also: doc/README.Modem
3859
3860Board initialization settings:
3861------------------------------
3862
3863During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3864to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3865before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3866following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3867architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3868typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3869
3870- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3871- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3872- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3873- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3874
3875Configuration Settings:
3876-----------------------
3877
3878- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3879		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3880
3881- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3882		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3883
3884- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3885		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3886
3887- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3888		prompt for user input.
3889
3890- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3891
3892- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3893
3894- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3895
3896- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3897		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3898		booted
3899
3900- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3901		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3902
3903- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3904		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3905
3906- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3907		If the board specific function
3908			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3909		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3910		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3911
3912- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3913		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3914
3915- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3916		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3917
3918- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3919		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3920		simple memory test.
3921
3922- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3923		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3924
3925- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3926		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3927		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3928
3929- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3930		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3931		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3932		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3933		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3934		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3935		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3936		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3937		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3938		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3939
3940		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3941		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3942		be touched.
3943
3944		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3945		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3946		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3947		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3948		problems.
3949
3950- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3951		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3952
3953- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3954		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3955
3956- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3957		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3958		Cogent motherboard)
3959
3960- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3961		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3962
3963- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3964		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3965		make config files to be same as the text base address
3966		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3967		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3968
3969- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3970		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3971		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3972		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3973		flash sector.
3974
3975- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3976		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3977
3978- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3979		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3980		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3981		will become available before relocation. The address is just
3982		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3983		space.
3984
3985		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3986		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3987		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3988		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3989		U-Boot relocates itself.
3990
3991		Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
3992		at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3993
3994- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3995		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3996		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3997		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3998
3999- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
4000		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4001		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
4002		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
4003		to adjust this setting to your needs.
4004
4005- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
4006		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
4007		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
4008		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
4009		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
4010		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
4011		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
4012		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
4013		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4014		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4015		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
4016
4017- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
4018		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
4019		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
4020		is enabled.
4021
4022- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
4023		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
4024		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4025
4026- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
4027		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
4028		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4029
4030- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
4031		Max number of Flash memory banks
4032
4033- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
4034		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
4035
4036- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
4037		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
4038
4039- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
4040		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
4041
4042- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
4043		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
4044
4045- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
4046		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
4047
4048- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
4049		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4050		instead of U-Boot software protection.
4051
4052- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
4053
4054		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4055		without this option such a download has to be
4056		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4057		copy from RAM to flash.
4058
4059		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4060		you can check if the download worked before you erase
4061		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4062		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
4063		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4064
4065- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
4066		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
4067		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
4068
4069- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
4070		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
4071		in the drivers directory
4072
4073- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4074		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4075		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4076		to the MTD layer.
4077
4078- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
4079		Use buffered writes to flash.
4080
4081- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
4082		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
4083		write commands.
4084
4085- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
4086		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
4087		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4088		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4089		optionally available.
4090
4091- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4092		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4093		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4094		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4095
4096- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4097		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4098		against the source after the write operation. An error message
4099		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4100		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4101		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4102		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4103		this option if you really know what you are doing.
4104
4105- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
4106		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4107		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
4108		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4109		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
4110		on high Ethernet traffic.
4111		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
4112
4113- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
4114
4115	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4116	internally to store the environment settings. The default
4117	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4118	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4119	lib/hashtable.c for details.
4120
4121- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4122- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4123	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
4124	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4125	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4126	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4127
4128	The format of the list is:
4129		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
4130		access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
4131		attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
4132		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4133		list = entry[,list]
4134
4135	The type attributes are:
4136		s - String (default)
4137		d - Decimal
4138		x - Hexadecimal
4139		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4140		i - IP address
4141		m - MAC address
4142
4143	The access attributes are:
4144		a - Any (default)
4145		r - Read-only
4146		o - Write-once
4147		c - Change-default
4148
4149	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4150		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4151		envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4152
4153	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4154		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4155		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4156		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
4157		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4158		".flags" variable.
4159
4160- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4161	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4162	access flags.
4163
4164- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4165	This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4166	architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4167	to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4168	arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4169	common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4170	must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4171	its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4172	your board please report the problem and send patches!
4173
4174- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4175	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4176	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4177	the value can be calulated on a given board.
4178
4179- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4180	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4181	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4182	building U-Boot to enable this.
4183
4184The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4185of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4186following configurations:
4187
4188- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4189
4190	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4191	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4192
4193- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4194
4195	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4196
4197	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4198	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4199	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4200	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4201	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4202	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4203	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4204	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4205	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4206	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4207	   between U-Boot and the environment.
4208
4209	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4210
4211	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4212	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4213	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4214	   for this sector is given here.
4215
4216	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4217
4218	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4219
4220	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
4221	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4222	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
4223
4224	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4225
4226	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
4227
4228
4229	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4230	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4231	   the environment.
4232
4233	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4234
4235	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4236	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4237	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4238	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4239
4240	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4241	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4242	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4243	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4244	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4245	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
4246	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4247	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4248	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
4249
4250	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4251	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4252
4253	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4254	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4255	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4256	   a "saveenv" operation.
4257
4258BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4259source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4260accordingly!
4261
4262
4263- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4264
4265	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4266	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4267	environment.
4268
4269	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4270	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4271
4272	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4273	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4274	  can just be read and written to, without any special
4275	  provision.
4276
4277BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4278in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4279console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4280U-Boot will hang.
4281
4282Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4283environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4284keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4285to save the current settings.
4286
4287
4288- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4289
4290	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4291	device and a driver for it.
4292
4293	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4294	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4295
4296	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4297	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4298
4299	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4300	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4301	  The default address is zero.
4302
4303	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4304	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4305	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
4306	  would require six bits.
4307
4308	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4309	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4310	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
4311
4312	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4313	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
4314	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
4315
4316	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4317	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4318	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4319	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4320	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4321	  byte chips.
4322
4323	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4324	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4325	  in the chip address.
4326
4327	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4328	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4329
4330	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4331	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4332	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4333
4334	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4335	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4336	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4337	  EEPROM. For example:
4338
4339	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
4340
4341	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4342	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4343
4344- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4345
4346	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4347	want to use for the environment.
4348
4349	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4350	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4351	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4352
4353	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4354	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4355	  at the specified address.
4356
4357- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4358
4359	Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4360	want to use for the environment.
4361
4362	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4363	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4364
4365	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4366	  environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4367	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4368
4369	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4370
4371	  Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4372
4373	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4374
4375	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4376	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4377	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4378	  during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4379	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4380
4381	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4382	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4383
4384	  Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4385
4386	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4387
4388	  Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4389
4390	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4391
4392	  Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4393
4394- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4395
4396	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4397	want to use for the local device's environment.
4398
4399	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4400	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4401
4402	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4403	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
4404	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
4405	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4406
4407BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4408"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4409environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4410but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4411
4412- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4413
4414	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4415	for the environment.
4416
4417	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4418	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4419
4420	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4421	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4422	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4423
4424	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4425
4426	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4427	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4428	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4429	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4430	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4431
4432	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4433
4434	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4435	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4436	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4437	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4438	  the range to be avoided.
4439
4440	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4441
4442	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4443	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
4444	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4445	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4446	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4447
4448- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4449
4450	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4451	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4452	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4453
4454- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4455
4456	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4457	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4458	accesses, which is important on NAND.
4459
4460	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4461
4462	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4463
4464	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4465
4466	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4467	  environment in.
4468
4469	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4470
4471	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4472	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4473	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4474
4475	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4476	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4477
4478	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4479	  when storing the env in UBI.
4480
4481- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4482       Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4483
4484       - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4485
4486         Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4487
4488       - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4489
4490         Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4491         be as following:
4492
4493           "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4494               - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4495                        partition table.
4496               - "D:0": device D.
4497               - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4498                              table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4499                              table.
4500               - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4501                           If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4502                           partition table then means device D.
4503
4504       - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4505
4506         It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4507         envrionment.
4508
4509       - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4510         This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4511
4512- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4513
4514	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4515	environment.
4516
4517	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4518
4519	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4520
4521	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4522
4523	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4524	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4525	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4526
4527	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4528	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4529
4530	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4531	  area within the specified MMC device.
4532
4533	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4534	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4535	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4536	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4537	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4538	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4539	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4540
4541	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4542	  MMC sector boundary.
4543
4544	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4545
4546	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4547	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4548	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4549	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4550
4551	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4552	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4553
4554	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4555	  an MMC sector boundary.
4556
4557	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4558
4559	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4560	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4561	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4562
4563- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4564
4565	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4566	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4567	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4568	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4569	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4570	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4571	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4572
4573Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4574has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4575created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4576until then to read environment variables.
4577
4578The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4579is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4580with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4581necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4582"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4583have any device yet where we could complain.]
4584
4585Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4586the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4587use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4588
4589- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4590		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4591
4592		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4593		      also needs to be defined.
4594
4595- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4596		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4597
4598- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4599		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4600		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4601		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4602		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4603		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4604
4605- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4606		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4607		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4608		to do this.
4609
4610- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4611		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4612		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4613		present.
4614
4615- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4616		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4617		build system checks that the actual size does not
4618		exceed it.
4619
4620Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4621---------------------------------------------------
4622
4623- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4624		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4625
4626- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4627		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4628
4629		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4630		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4631		the IMMR register after a reset.
4632
4633- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4634		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4635		PowerPC SOCs.
4636
4637- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4638		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4639		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4640
4641		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4642		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4643
4644- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4645		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4646		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4647		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4648		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4649		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4650		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4651
4652		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4653			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4654
4655- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4656		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4657		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4658		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4659		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4660
4661- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4662		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4663		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4664		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4665
4666- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4667		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4668		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4669
4670- Floppy Disk Support:
4671		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4672
4673		the default drive number (default value 0)
4674
4675		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4676
4677		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4678		(default value 1)
4679
4680		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4681
4682		defines the offset of register from address. It
4683		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4684		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4685
4686		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4687		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4688		default value.
4689
4690		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4691		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4692		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4693		source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4694		initializations.
4695
4696- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4697		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4698		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4699		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4700		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4701		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4702		is requierd.
4703
4704- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4705		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4706		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4707
4708- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4709
4710		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4711		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4712		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4713		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4714		will become available only after programming the
4715		memory controller and running certain initialization
4716		sequences.
4717
4718		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4719		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4720		- MPC824X: data cache
4721		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4722
4723- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4724
4725		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4726		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4727		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4728		data is located at the end of the available space
4729		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4730		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4731		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4732		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4733
4734	Note:
4735		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4736		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4737		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4738		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4739		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4775		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
4776
4777- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4778		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4779		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
4780
4781- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:

4791		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4792		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4793
4794- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4795		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4796		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4797		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

4799
4800- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
4801  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

4809
4810- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4811		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4812		required.
4813
4814- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4815		Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
4816		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4817		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4818		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4819		by coreboot or similar.

4863
4864- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM

4878- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4879		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4880		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4881
4882- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4883		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4884
4885- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4886		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4887		to the given FEC; i. e.
4888			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4889		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4890
4891		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4892
4893- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4894		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4895		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4896
4897- CONFIG_RMII
4898		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4899		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4900		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4901
4902- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4903		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4904		The syntax is:
4905
4906		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4907
4908		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4909		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4910		area should have.
4911
4912- CONFIG_LOOPW
4913		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4914		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4915
4916- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4917		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4918		"md/mw" commands.
4919		Examples:
4920
4921		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4922		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4923
4924		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4925		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4926
4927		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4928		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4929
4930- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4931		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4932		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4933		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4934		relocate itself into RAM.
4935
4936		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4937		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4938		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4939		these initializations itself.
4940
4941- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4942		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4943		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4944		compiling a NAND SPL.
4945
4946- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4947		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4948		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4949		It is loaded by the SPL.
4950
4951- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4952		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4953		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4954		previous 4k of the .text section.
4955
4956- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4957		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4958		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4959		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4960		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4961		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4962		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4963		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4964
4965- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4966  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4967		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4968		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4969		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4970
4971- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4972		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4973		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4974
4975- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4976		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4977
4978		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4979
4980- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4981		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4982
4983- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4984		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4985		driver that uses this:
4986		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4987
4988Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4989-----------------------------------
4990
4991The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4992loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4993This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4994are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4995within that device.
4996
4997- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4998	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
4999	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5000	is also specified.
5001
5002- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
5003	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
5004	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5005	is also specified.
5006
5007- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5008	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
5009	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5010	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5011	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5012
5013- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5014	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5015	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5016	virtual address in NOR flash.
5017
5018- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
5019	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
5020	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
5021
5022- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
5023	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
5024	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5025
5026- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
5027	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5028	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5029
5030- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5031	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5032	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
5033	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5034	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
5035	master's memory space.
5036
5037Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
5038---------------------------------------------------------
5039The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5040"firmware".
5041This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5042are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5043within that device.
5044
5045- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5046	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5047
5048- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5049	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
5050	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5051	is also specified.
5052
5053- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5054	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
5055	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5056	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5057	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5058
5059- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5060	Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5061	normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
5062	virtual address in NOR flash.
5063
5064Building the Software:
5065======================
5066
5067Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5068and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5069all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5070(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5071recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5072which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
5073
5074If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5075have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5076you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5077Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5078necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
5079
5080	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5081	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
5082
5083Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5084      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5085      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5086      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
5087
5088       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5089
5090      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5091      be executed on computers running Windows.
5092
5093U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5094sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
5095is done by typing:
5096
5097	make NAME_defconfig
5098
5099where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5100rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5101
5102Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5103      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5104      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5105      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5106      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5107
5108      make TQM823L_defconfig
5109	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5110
5111      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5112	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5113
5114      etc.
5115
5116
5117Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5118images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5119
5120- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5121- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5122- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5123
5124By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5125in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5126this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5127
51281. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5129
5130	make O=/tmp/build distclean
5131	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5132	make O=/tmp/build all
5133
51342. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5135
5136	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5137	make distclean
5138	make NAME_defconfig
5139	make all
5140
5141Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5142variable.
5143
5144
5145Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5146for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5147native "make".
5148
5149
5150If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5151to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5152steps:
5153
51541.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
5155    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5156    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
51572.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5158    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5159    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51603.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5161    your board
51623.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5163    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
51644.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
51655.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5166    to be installed on your target system.
51676.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5168    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5169
5170
5171Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5172==============================================================
5173
5174If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5175or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5176provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5177the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5178official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5179
5180But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5181cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5182the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5183just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5184for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5185select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5186environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5187you can type
5188
5189	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5190
5191or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5192
5193	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5194
5195When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5196U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5197setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5198built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5199<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5200location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5201variable. For example:
5202
5203	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5204	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5205	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5206
5207With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5208log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5209during the whole build process.

5266
5267TODO.
5268
5269For now: just type "help <command>".
5270
5271
5272Environment Variables:
5273======================
5274
5275U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5276can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5277
5278Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5279"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5280without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5281environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5282working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5283environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5284
5285Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5286
5287List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5288
5289  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5290
5291  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5292
5293  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5294
5295  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5296
5297  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
5298
5299  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5300		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5301		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5302		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5303		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5304		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5305		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5306		  bootm_mapsize.
5307
5308  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5309		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5310		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5311		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5312		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5313		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5314		  used otherwise.
5315
5316  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5317		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5318		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5319		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5320		  environment variable.
5321
5322  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5323		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5324		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5325
5326  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5327		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5328		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5329		  load any image using TFTP
5330
5331  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5332		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5333		  be automatically started (by internally calling
5334		  "bootm")
5335
5336		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5337		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5338		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5339		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5340		  data.
5341
5342  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5343		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5344		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5345		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5346		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5347		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5348		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5349		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5350		  access it during the boot procedure.
5351
5352		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5353		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
5354		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5355		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5356		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5357		  must be accessible by the kernel.
5358
5359  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5360		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5361		  defined.
5362
5363  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5364		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5365		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5366		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5367		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
5368
5369  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
5370		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5371		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5372		  is usually what you want since it allows for
5373		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5374		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5375		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5376		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5377		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5378		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5379		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5380
5381		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5382		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5383		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5384		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5385		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5386		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
5387
5388		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5389
5390		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5391		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5392		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5393		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5394		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5395		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
5396		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5397
5398  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5399
5400  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5401		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5402
5403  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5404
5405  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5406
5407  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5408
5409  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5410
5411  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5412
5413  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
5414
5415  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
5416		  For example you can do the following
5417
5418		  => setenv ethact FEC
5419		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5420		  => setenv ethact SCC
5421		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5422
5423  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5424		  available network interfaces.
5425		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5426
5427  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
5428		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
5429		  When set to "once" the network operation will
5430		  fail when all the available network interfaces
5431		  are tried once without success.
5432		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5433		  themselves.
5434
5435  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
5436
5437  silent_linux  - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5438		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5439		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5440		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5441		  is silent.
5442
5443  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5444		  UDP source port.
5445
5446  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5447		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5448
5449  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5450		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
5451
5452  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5453		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5454		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5455		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5456		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5457		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5458		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
5459
5460  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5461		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5462		  VLAN tagged frames.
5463
5464The following image location variables contain the location of images
5465used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5466not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5467variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5468server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5469loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5470flash or offset in NAND flash.
5471
5472*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5473boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5474boards use these variables for other purposes.
5475
5476Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
5477-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
5478u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
5479Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
5480device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
5481ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
5482
5483The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5484updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5485depending the information provided by your boot server:
5486
5487  bootfile	- see above
5488  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
5489  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5490  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5491  hostname	- Target hostname
5492  ipaddr	- see above
5493  netmask	- Subnet Mask
5494  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5495  serverip	- see above
5496
5497
5498There are two special Environment Variables:
5499
5500  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
5501		  as type string and/or serial number
5502  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
5503
5504These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5505the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5506once they have been set once.
5507
5508
5509Further special Environment Variables:
5510
5511  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5512		  with the "version" command. This variable is
5513		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5514
5515
5516Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5517only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5518
5519
5520Callback functions for environment variables:
5521---------------------------------------------
5522
5523For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5524when their values are changed.  This functionailty allows functions to
5525be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
5526deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5527effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5528
5529The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5530U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5531
5532These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
5533static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5534in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5535associations.  The list must be in the following format:
5536
5537	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5538	list = entry[,list]
5539
5540If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5541Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5542
5543Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5544with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5545override any association in the static list. You can define
5546CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5547".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5548
5549
5550Command Line Parsing:
5551=====================
5552
5553There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5554the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5555
5556Old, simple command line parser:
5557--------------------------------
5558
5559- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5560- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5561- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5562- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5563  for example:
5564	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5565- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5566	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5567
5568Hush shell:
5569-----------
5570
5571- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5572  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5573  until...do...done, ...
5574- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5575  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5576  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5577  command
5578
5579General rules:
5580--------------
5581
5582(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5583    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5584    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5585    executed anyway.
5586
5587(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5588    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5589    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5590    variables are not executed.
5591
5592Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5593=======================================
5594
5595Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5596such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5597"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5598
5599Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5600MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5601"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5602
5603If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5604in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5605ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5606variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5607
5608o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5609  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5610
5611o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5612  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5613  used.
5614
5615o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5616  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5617
5618o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5619  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5620  warning is printed.
5621
5622o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5623  is raised.
5624
5625If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5626will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5627may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5628The naming convention is as follows:
5629"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5630
5631Image Formats:
5632==============
5633
5634U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5635images in two formats:
5636
5637New uImage format (FIT)
5638-----------------------
5639
5640Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5641to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5642components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5643SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5644
5645
5646Old uImage format
5647-----------------
5648
5649Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5650preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5651details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5652
5653* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5654  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5655  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5656  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5657  INTEGRITY).
5658* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5659  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5660  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5661* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5662* Load Address
5663* Entry Point
5664* Image Name
5665* Image Timestamp
5666
5667The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5668and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5669CRC32 checksums.
5670
5671
5672Linux Support:
5673==============
5674
5675Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5676easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5677U-Boot.
5678
5679U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5680special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5681"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5682instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5683serves several purposes:
5684
5685- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5686  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5687  Flash memory footprint)
5688
5689- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5690  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5691
5692- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5693  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5694  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5695  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5696  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5697  software is easier now.
5698
5699
5700Linux HOWTO:
5701============
5702
5703Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5704---------------------------------------
5705
5706U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5707configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5708(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5709Linux :-).
5710
5711But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5712
5713Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5714include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5715Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5716and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5717as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5718
5719Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5720If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5721is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5722doc/driver-model.
5723
5724
5725Configuring the Linux kernel:
5726-----------------------------
5727
5728No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5729device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5730
5731
5732Building a Linux Image:
5733-----------------------
5734
5735With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5736not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5737"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5738U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5739which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5740100% compatible format.
5741
5742Example:
5743
5744	make TQM850L_defconfig
5745	make oldconfig
5746	make dep
5747	make uImage
5748
5749The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5750encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5751CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5752
5753* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5754
5755* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5756
5757	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5758				 -R .note -R .comment \
5759				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5760
5761* compress the binary image:
5762
5763	gzip -9 linux.bin
5764
5765* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5766
5767	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5768		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5769		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5770
5771
5772The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5773with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5774combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5775byte header containing information about target architecture,
5776operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5777stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5778
5779"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5780print the header information, or to build new images.
5781
5782In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5783contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5784checksum verification:
5785
5786	tools/mkimage -l image
5787	  -l ==> list image header information
5788
5789The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5790from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5791
5792	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5793		      -n name -d data_file image
5794	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5795	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5796	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5797	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5798	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5799	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5800	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5801	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5802
5803Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5804address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5805kernel version:
5806
5807- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5808- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5809
5810So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5811
5812	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5813	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5814	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5815	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5816	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5817	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5818	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5819	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5820	Load Address: 0x00000000
5821	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5822
5823To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5824
5825	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5826	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5827	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5828	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5829	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5830	Load Address: 0x00000000
5831	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5832
5833NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5834speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5835needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5836need to be uncompressed:
5837
5838	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5839	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5840	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5841	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5842	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5843	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5844	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5845	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5846	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5847	Load Address: 0x00000000
5848	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5849
5850
5851Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5852when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5853
5854	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5855	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5856	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5857	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image

5864The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5865option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5866option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5867from the image:
5868
5869	tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5870	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5871	   indexed by 'position'

5874Installing a Linux Image:
5875-------------------------
5876
5877To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5878you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5879
5880	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5881
5882The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5883image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5884address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5885specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5886command.
5887
5888Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5889TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5890
5891	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF

5893	.......... done

5895

5904	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5905
5906
5907You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5908this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5909corruption happened:
5910
5911	=> imi 40100000

5922Boot Linux:
5923-----------
5924
5925The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5926memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5927of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5928parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5929"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5930
5931
5932	=> printenv bootargs
5933	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5934
5935	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

6054More About U-Boot Image Types:
6055------------------------------
6056
6057U-Boot supports the following image types:
6058
6059   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6060	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6061	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6062	the Standalone Program.
6063   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6064	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6065	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6066	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6067	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6068   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6069	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6070	being started.
6071   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6072	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6073	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6074	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6075	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6076	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6077
6078	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6079	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6080	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6081	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6082	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6083	a multiple of 4 bytes).
6084
6085   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6086	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6087	flash memory.
6088
6089   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6090	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6091	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6092	as command interpreter.
6093
6094Booting the Linux zImage:
6095-------------------------
6096
6097On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6098using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6099as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6100
6101Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
6102kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6103address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6104format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
6105
6106
6107Standalone HOWTO:
6108=================
6109
6110One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6111run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6112U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6113
6114Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6115
6116"Hello World" Demo:
6117-------------------
6118
6119'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6120application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6121It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6122like that:
6123
6124	=> loads
6125	## Ready for S-Record download ...
6126	~>examples/hello_world.srec
6127	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6128	[file transfer complete]
6129	[connected]
6130	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6131
6132	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6133	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6134	Hello World
6135	argc = 7
6136	argv[0] = "40004"
6137	argv[1] = "Hello"
6138	argv[2] = "World!"
6139	argv[3] = "This"
6140	argv[4] = "is"
6141	argv[5] = "a"
6142	argv[6] = "test."
6143	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6144	Hit any key to exit ...
6145
6146	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6147
6148Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6149handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6150Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6151The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6152character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6153controlled by the following keys:
6154
6155	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6156	b - enable interrupts and start timer
6157	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6158	q - quit application
6159
6160	=> loads
6161	## Ready for S-Record download ...

6195Minicom warning:
6196================
6197
6198Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6199"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6200consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6201Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6202especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
6203use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
6204http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6205for help with kermit.
6206
6207
6208Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6209configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
6210
6211	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
6212	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N
6213	Y  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r	 N    D	   Y	   N	  N
6214
6215
6216NetBSD Notes:
6217=============
6218
6219Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6220(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6221
6222Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6223NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6224need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6225Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6226attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6227missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6228
6229	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6230	# mkdir powerpc
6231	# ln -s powerpc machine
6232	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6233	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6234
6235Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6236and U-Boot include files.
6237
6238Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6239stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6240proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6241tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6242meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6243
6244
6245Implementation Internals:
6246=========================
6247
6248The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6249implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6250inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6251hardware.
6252
6253
6254Initial Stack, Global Data:
6255---------------------------
6256
6257The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6258starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6259system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6260This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6261is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6262at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6263options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6264models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6265MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6266locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6267
6268	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6269	U-Boot mailing list:
6270
6271	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6272	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6273	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6274	...
6275
6276	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6277	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6278	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6279	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6280	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6281	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6282	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6283	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6284
6285	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6286	is another option for the system designer to use as an
6287	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6288	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6289	board designers haven't used it for something that would
6290	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6291	used.
6292
6293	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6294	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6295	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6296	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6297	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set

6305
6306It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6307code for the initialization procedures:
6308
6309* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6310  to write it.
6311
6312* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
6313  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6314  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6315
6316* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6317  that.
6318
6319Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6320normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6321turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6322simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6323functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6324functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6325the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6326place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6327reserve for this purpose.
6328
6329When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6330relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
6331GCC's implementation.
6332
6333For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6334	R1:	stack pointer
6335	R2:	reserved for system use
6336	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
6337	R5-R10: parameter passing
6338	R13:	small data area pointer
6339	R30:	GOT pointer
6340	R31:	frame pointer
6341
6342	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6343	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6344	going back and forth between asm and C)
6345
6346    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6347
6348    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6349    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6350    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6351    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6352    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6353    624 text + 127 data).
6354
6355On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6356	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6357
6358    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6359
6360On ARM, the following registers are used:
6361
6362	R0:	function argument word/integer result
6363	R1-R3:	function argument word
6364	R9:	platform specific
6365	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6366	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
6367	R12:	temporary workspace
6368	R13:	stack pointer
6369	R14:	link register
6370	R15:	program counter
6371
6372    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6373
6374    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6375
6376On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6377	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6378
6379    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6380
6381    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6382    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6383
6384On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6385
6386	R0-R1:	argument/return
6387	R2-R5:	argument
6388	R15:	temporary register for assembler
6389	R16:	trampoline register
6390	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
6391	R29:	global pointer (GP)
6392	R30:	link register (LP)
6393	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
6394	PC:	program counter (PC)
6395
6396    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6397
6398NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6399or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6400
6401Memory Management:
6402------------------
6403
6404U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6405MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6406
6407The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6408controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6409memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6410physical memory banks.
6411
6412U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6413TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6414booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6415to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6416memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6417configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6418Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6419
6420Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6421of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6422
6423So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6424this:
6425
6426	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
6427	      :
6428	0x0000 1FFF
6429	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
6430	      :
6431	      :
6432
6433	      :
6434	      :
6435	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6436	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6437	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
6438	      :
6439	0x00FD FFFF
6440	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6441	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6442	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6443	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
6444
6445
6446System Initialization:
6447----------------------
6448
6449In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6450(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6451configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6452To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6453To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6454initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6455which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6456part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6457the caches and the SIU.
6458
6459Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6460preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6461(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6462on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6463programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6464simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6465banks.
6466
6467When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6468different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6469bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64700x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6471contiguous memory starting from 0.
6472
6473Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6474and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6475Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6476pages, and the final stack is set up.
6477
6478Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6479until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6480running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6481new address in RAM.

6558Coding Standards:
6559-----------------
6560
6561All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6562coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6563"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6564
6565Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6566MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6567reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6568sources.
6569
6570Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6571Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6572in your code.
6573
6574Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6575- remove any trailing white space
6576- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6577- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6578- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6579- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6580
6581Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6582with a request to reformat the changes.
6583
6584
6585Submitting Patches:
6586-------------------
6587
6588Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6589establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6590may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6591
6592Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6593
6594Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6595see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6596
6597When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6598it:
6599
6600* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6601  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6602  patch actually fixes something.
6603
6604* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6605  implementation.
6606
6607* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6608
6609* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6610
6611* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6612  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6613
6614* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6615  document these in the README file.
6616
6617* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6618  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6619  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6620  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6621  with some other mail clients.
6622
6623  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6624  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6625  GNU diff.
6626
6627  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6628  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6629  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6630  affected files).
6631
6632  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6633  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6634
6635* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6636  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6637
6638* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6639  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6640
6641
6642Notes:
6643
6644* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6645  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6646  for any of the boards.
6647
6648* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6649  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6650  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6651
6652* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6653  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6654  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6655  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6656  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6657  modification.
6658
6659* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6660  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6661  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6662  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
