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: 43 44 make CHANGELOG 45 46 47Where to get help: 48================== 49 50In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 51U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 52<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

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/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. 456 457 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR 458 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is 459 found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core 460 SoCs. 461 462 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_ADDR 463 Freescale DDR memory-mapped register base. 464 465 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 466 Specify emulator support for DDR.

It can be enabled for SoCs with 486 Freescale DDR1 or DDR2 controllers, depending on the board 487 implemetation. 488 489 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2 490 Board config to use DDR2. It can be eanbeld for SoCs with 491 Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board 492 implementation. 493 494 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3 495 Board config to use DDR3. It can be enabled for SoCs with 496 Freescale DDR3 or DDR3L controllers. 497 498 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3L 499 Board config to use DDR3L. It can be enabled for SoCs with 500 DDR3L controllers. 501 502 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR4 503 Board config to use DDR4.

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- Intel Monahans options: 542 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 543 544 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 545 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 546 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 547 548 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 549 550 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 551 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 552 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 553 by this value. 554 555- MIPS CPU options: 556 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 557 558 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 559 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 560 relocation. 561 562 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 563 564 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 565 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 566 Possible values are: 567 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 568 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 569 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 570 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 571 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 572 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 573 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 574 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 575 576 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 577 578 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 579 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 580 581 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 582 583 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 584 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 585 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 586 587- ARM options: 588 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 589 590 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 591 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 592 593 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 594 595 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 596 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 597 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 598 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 599 GCC. 600 601 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 602 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 603 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 604 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 605 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072 606 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320 607 608 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 609 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 610 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 611 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 612 set these options unless they apply! 613 614- CPU timer options: 615 CONFIG_SYS_HZ 616 617 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). 618 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG 619 option must be set to 1000. 620 621- Linux Kernel Interface: 622 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 623 624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 630 Linux kernel. 631 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 632 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 633 default environment. 634 635 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 636 637 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 638 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 639 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 640 641 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 642 643 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 644 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 645 concepts). 646 647 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 648 * New libfdt-based support 649 * Adds the "fdt" command 650 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 651 652 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 653 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 654 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 655 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 656 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 657 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 658 659 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 660 addresses 661 662 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 663 664 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 665 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 666 667 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 668 669 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 670 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 671 672 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 673 674 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 675 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 676 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 677 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 678 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 679 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 680 681 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 682 683 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 684 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 685 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 686 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 687 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 688 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 689 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 690 691- vxWorks boot parameters: 692 693 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 694 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 695 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 696 697 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 698 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 699 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 700 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 701 702 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 703 704 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 705 706 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 707 the defaults discussed just above. 708 709- Cache Configuration: 710 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 711 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 712 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 713 714- Cache Configuration for ARM: 715 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 716 controller 717 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 718 controller register space 719 720- Serial Ports: 721 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 722 723 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 724 725 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 726 727 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 728 729 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 730 731 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 732 the clock speed of the UARTs. 733 734 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 735 736 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 737 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 738 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 739 740 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 741 742 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 743 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 744 this variable to initialize the extra register. 745 746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 747 748 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 749 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 750 variable to flush the UART at init time. 751 752 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL 753 754 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver. 755 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver 756 757- Console Interface: 758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 762 763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 764 port routines must be defined elsewhere 765 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 766 767 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 768 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 769 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 770 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 771 (default big endian) 772 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 773 rectangle fill 774 (cf. smiLynxEM) 775 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 776 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 777 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 778 (cols=pitch) 779 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 780 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 781 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 782 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 783 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 784 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 785 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 786 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 787 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 788 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 789 (i.e. i8042_getc) 790 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 791 (requires blink timer 792 cf. i8042.c) 793 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 794 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 795 upper right corner 796 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 797 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 798 upper left corner 799 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 800 linux_logo.h for logo. 801 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 802 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 803 additional board info beside 804 the logo 805 806 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 807 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 808 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 809 810 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 811 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 812 environment 'console=serial'. 813 814 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 815 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 816 the "silent" environment variable. See 817 doc/README.silent for more information. 818 819 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default 820 is 0x00. 821 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default 822 is 0xa0. 823 824- Console Baudrate: 825 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 826 Select one of the baudrates listed in 827 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 828 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 829 830- Console Rx buffer length 831 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 832 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 833 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 834 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 835 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 836 the SMC. 837 838- Pre-Console Buffer: 839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 847 earlier bytes are discarded. 848 849 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 850 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 851 852- Safe printf() functions 853 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 854 the printf() functions. These are defined in 855 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 856 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 857 If this option is not given then these functions will 858 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 859 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 860 861- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 862 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 863 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 864 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 865 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 866 867 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 868 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 869 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 870 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 871 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 872 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 873 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 874 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 875 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 877 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 878 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 879 880- Autoboot Command: 881 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 882 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 883 define a command string that is automatically executed 884 when no character is read on the console interface 885 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 886 887 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 888 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 889 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 890 environment value "bootargs". 891 892 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 893 The value of these goes into the environment as 894 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 895 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 896 RAM and NFS. 897 898- Bootcount: 899 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 900 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot 901 cycle, see: 902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 903 904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV 905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware 906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a 907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable 908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is 909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is 910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment. 911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available" 912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully. 913 914- Pre-Boot Commands: 915 CONFIG_PREBOOT 916 917 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 921 entering interactive mode. 922 923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 924 automatically generated or modified. For an example 925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 926 modified when the user holds down a certain 927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 928 booting the systems 929 930- Serial Download Echo Mode: 931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 938 939- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 940 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 941 Select one of the baudrates listed in 942 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 943 944- Monitor Functions: 945 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 946 from the build by using the #include files 947 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 948 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 949 and augmenting with additional #define's 950 for wanted commands. 951 952 The default command configuration includes all commands 953 except those marked below with a "*". 954 955 CONFIG_CMD_AES AES 128 CBC encrypt/decrypt 956 CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable 957 CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo 958

support you can write: 1063 1064 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 1065 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 1066 1067 Other Commands: 1068 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1069 1070 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 1071 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 1072 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 1073 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 1074 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 1075 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 1076 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 1077 initial stack and some data. 1078 1079 1080 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 1081 1082- Regular expression support: 1083 CONFIG_REGEX 1084 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 1085 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 1086 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 1087 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 1088 1089- Device tree: 1090 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 1091 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 1092 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 1093 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 1094 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 1095 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 1096 1097 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 1098 be done using one of the two options below: 1099 1100 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 1101 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 1102 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 1103 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 1104 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 1105 the global data structure as gd->blob. 1106 1107 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 1108 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 1109 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 1110 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 1111 1112 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 1113 1114 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 1115 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 1116 still use the individual files if you need something more 1117 exotic. 1118 1119- Watchdog: 1120 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 1121 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 1122 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 1123 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 1124 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 1125 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 1126 available, then no further board specific code should 1127 be needed to use it. 1128 1129 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 1130 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 1131 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 1132 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 1133 1134- U-Boot Version: 1135 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 1136 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1137 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1138 version as printed by the "version" command. 1139 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1140 next reset. 1141 1142- Real-Time Clock: 1143 1144 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1145 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1146 following options: 1147 1148 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1149 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1150 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1151 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1152 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1155 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC 1156 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1157 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1158 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1159 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1160 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1161 RV3029 RTC. 1162 1163 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1164 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1165 1166- GPIO Support: 1167 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1168 1169 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1170 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1171 pins supported by a particular chip. 1172 1173 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1174 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1175 1176- I/O tracing: 1177 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O 1178 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out 1179 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is 1180 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that 1181 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code 1182 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To 1183 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>' 1184 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test. 1185 1186 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below. 1187 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will 1188 still continue to operate. 1189 1190 iotrace is enabled 1191 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address) 1192 Size: 00010000 (buffer size) 1193 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset) 1194 Output: 10000120 (start + offset) 1195 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records) 1196 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records) 1197 1198- Timestamp Support: 1199 1200 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1201 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1202 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1203 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1204 1205- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1206 Zero or more of the following: 1207 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1208 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1209 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1210 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1211 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1212 bootloader.

When used on devices 1276 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1277 1278 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1279 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1280 1281 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1282 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1283 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1284 write routine for first time initialisation. 1285 1286 CONFIG_TULIP 1287 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1288 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1289 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1290 1291 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1292 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1293 1294 CONFIG_NS8382X 1295 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1296 1297- NETWORK Support (other): 1298 1299 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1300 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1301 1302 CONFIG_RMII 1303 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1304 1305 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1306 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1307 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1308 1309 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1310 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1311 1312 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1313 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1314 1315 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1316 Define this to hold the physical address 1317 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1318 1319 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1320 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1321 1322 CONFIG_SMC91111 1323 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1324 1325 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1326 Define this to hold the physical address 1327 of the device (I/O space) 1328 1329 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1330 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1331 1332 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1333 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1334 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1335 1336 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1337 Support for davinci emac 1338 1339 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1340 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1341 1342 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1343 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1344 1345 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1346 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1347 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1348 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1349 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1350 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1351 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1352 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1353 1354 CONFIG_SMC911X 1355 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1356 1357 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1358 Define this to hold the physical address 1359 of the device (I/O space) 1360 1361 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1362 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1363 1364 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1365 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1366 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1367 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1368 1369 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1370 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1371 1372 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1373 Define the number of ports to be used 1374 1375 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1376 Define the ETH PHY's address 1377 1378 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1379 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1380 1381- TPM Support: 1382 CONFIG_TPM 1383 Support TPM devices. 1384 1385 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C 1386 Support for i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1387 per system is supported at this time. 1388 1389 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BUS_NUMBER 1390 Define the the i2c bus number for the TPM device 1391 1392 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 1393 Define the TPM's address on the i2c bus 1394 1395 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1396 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1397 1398 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI 1399 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. 1400 1401 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1402 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1403 per system is supported at this time. 1404 1405 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1406 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1407 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1408 0xfed40000. 1409 1410 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1411 Add tpm monitor functions. 1412 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1413 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1414 1415 CONFIG_TPM 1416 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1417 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1418 Requires support for a TPM device. 1419 1420 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1421 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1422 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1423 1424- USB Support: 1425 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1426 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1427 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1428 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1429 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1430 storage devices. 1431 Note: 1432 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1433 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1434 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1435 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1436 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1437 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1438 for USB on PSC3 1439 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1440 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1441 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1442 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1443 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1444 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1445 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1446 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1447 1448 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1449 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1450 1451- USB Device: 1452 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1453 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1454 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1455 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1456 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1457 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1458 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1459 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1460 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1461 a Linux host by 1462 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1463 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1464 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1465 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1466 1467 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1468 Define this to build a UDC device 1469 1470 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1471 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1472 talk to the UDC device 1473 1474 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1475 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1476 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1477 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1478 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1479 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1480 speed. 1481 1482 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1483 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1484 be set to usbtty. 1485 1486 mpc8xx: 1487 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1488 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1489 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1490 1491 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1492 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1493 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1494 1495 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1496 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1497 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1498 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1499 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1500 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1501 1502 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1503 Define this string as the name of your company for 1504 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1505 1506 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1507 Define this string as the name of your product 1508 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1509 1510 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1511 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1512 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1513 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1514 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1515 1516 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1517 Define this as the unique Product ID 1518 for your device 1519 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1520 1521- ULPI Layer Support: 1522 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1523 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1524 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1525 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1526 viewport is supported. 1527 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1528 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1529 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1530 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1531 the appropriate value in Hz. 1532 1533- MMC Support: 1534 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1535 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1536 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1537 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1538 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1539 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1540 1541 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1542 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1543 1544 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1545 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1546 1547 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1548 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1549 1550 CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC 1551 Enable the generic MMC driver 1552 1553 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT 1554 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions. 1555 1556 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB 1557 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the 1558 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC. 1559 1560- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1561 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1562 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1563 1564 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1565 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1566 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1567 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1568 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1569 1570 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1571 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1572 1573 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1574 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1575 1576 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1577 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1578 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1579 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1580 one that would help mostly the developer. 1581 1582 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1583 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1584 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1585 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1586 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1587 1588 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1589 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1590 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1591 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1592 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1593 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1594 1595 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT 1596 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the 1597 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending 1598 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device. 1599 1600 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT 1601 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when 1602 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before 1603 sending again an USB request to the device. 1604 1605- USB Device Android Fastboot support: 1606 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT 1607 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android 1608 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB 1609 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control 1610 used on Android devices. 1611 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information. 1612 1613 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE 1614 This enables support for booting images which use the Android 1615 image format header. 1616 1617 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR 1618 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1619 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for 1620 downloaded images. 1621 1622 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE 1623 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1624 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a 1625 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot. 1626 1627- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1628 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1629 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1630 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1631 1632 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1633 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1634 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1635 1636 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1637 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1638 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1639 1640 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1641 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1642 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1643 have not defined a custom partition 1644 1645- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1646 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1647 1648 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1649 file in FAT formatted partition. 1650 1651 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1652 user to write files to FAT. 1653 1654CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1655 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1656 1657 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1658 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1659 and cbfsload. 1660 1661- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size: 1662 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE 1663 1664 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else 1665 a default value of 65536 will be defined. 1666 1667- Keyboard Support: 1668 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1669 1670 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1671 support 1672 1673 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1674 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1675 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1676 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1677 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1678 1679 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1680 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1681 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1682 which provides key scans on request. 1683 1684- Video support: 1685 CONFIG_VIDEO 1686 1687 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1688 video). 1689 1690 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1691 1692 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1693 1694 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1695 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1696 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1697 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1698 assumed. 1699 1700 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1701 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1702 are possible: 1703 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1704 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1705 1706 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1707 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1708 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1709 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1710 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1711 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1712 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1713 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1714 1715 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1716 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1717 1718 1719 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1720 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1721 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1722 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1723 1724 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1725 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1726 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1727 support, and should also define these other macros: 1728 1729 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1730 CONFIG_VIDEO 1731 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1732 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1733 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1734 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1735 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1736 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1737 1738 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1739 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1740 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1741 description of this variable. 1742 1743 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1744 1745 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1746 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1747 driver. 1748 1749 1750- Keyboard Support: 1751 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1752 1753 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1754 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1755 defined in your board-specific files. 1756 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1757 1758- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1759 1760 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1761 display); also select one of the supported displays 1762 by defining one of these: 1763 1764 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1765 1766 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1767 1768 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1769 1770 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1771 1772 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1773 1774 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1775 Active, color, single scan. 1776 1777 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1778 1779 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1780 Active, color, single scan. 1781 1782 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1783 1784 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1785 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1786 1787 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1788 1789 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1790 Active, color, single scan. 1791 1792 CONFIG_HLD1045 1793 1794 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1795 Active, color, single scan. 1796 1797 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1798 1799 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1800 or 1801 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1802 or 1803 Hitachi SP14Q002 1804 1805 320x240. Black & white. 1806 1807 Normally display is black on white background; define 1808 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1809 1810 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1811 1812 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1813 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1814 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1815 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1816 a per-section basis. 1817 1818 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1819 1820 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1821 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1822 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1823 is slow. 1824 1825 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1826 1827 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1828 1829 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1830 1831 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1832 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1833 1834- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1835 1836 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1837 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1838 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1839 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1840 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1841 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1842 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1843 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1844 1845 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1846 1847 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1848 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1849 (see README.displaying-bmps). 1850 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1851 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1852 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1853 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1854 there is no need to set this option. 1855 1856 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1857 1858 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1859 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1860 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1861 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1862 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1863 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1864 1865 Example: 1866 setenv splashpos m,m 1867 => image at center of screen 1868 1869 setenv splashpos 30,20 1870 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1871 1872 setenv splashpos -10,m 1873 => vertically centered image 1874 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1875 1876- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1877 1878 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1879 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1880 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1881 1882- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1883 1884 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1885 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1886 bmp command. 1887 1888- Do compresssing for memory range: 1889 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1890 1891 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1892 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1893 1894- Compression support: 1895 CONFIG_GZIP 1896 1897 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 1898 1899 CONFIG_BZIP2 1900 1901 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1902 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1903 compressed images are supported. 1904 1905 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1906 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1907 be at least 4MB. 1908 1909 CONFIG_LZMA 1910 1911 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1912 images is included. 1913 1914 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1915 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1916 formula: 1917 1918 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1919 1920 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1921 and Literal pos bits. 1922 1923 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1924 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1925 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1926 a very small buffer. 1927 1928 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1929 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1930 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1931 1932 CONFIG_LZO 1933 1934 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images 1935 is included. 1936 1937- MII/PHY support: 1938 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1939 1940 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1941 1942 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1943 1944 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1945 1946 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1947 1948 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1949 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1950 1951 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1952 1953 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1954 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1955 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1956 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1957 1958 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1959 1960 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1961 command issued before MII status register can be read 1962 1963- Ethernet address: 1964 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1965 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1966 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1967 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1968 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1969 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1970 1971 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1972 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1973 is not determined automatically. 1974 1975- IP address: 1976 CONFIG_IPADDR 1977 1978 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1979 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1980 determined through e.g. bootp. 1981 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1982 1983- Server IP address: 1984 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1985 1986 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1987 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1988 (Environment variable "serverip") 1989 1990 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1991 1992 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1993 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1994 1995- Gateway IP address: 1996 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1997 1998 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1999 default router where packets to other networks are 2000 sent to. 2001 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 2002 2003- Subnet mask: 2004 CONFIG_NETMASK 2005 2006 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 2007 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 2008 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 2009 forwarded through a router. 2010 (Environment variable "netmask") 2011 2012- Multicast TFTP Mode: 2013 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 2014 2015 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 2016 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 2017 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 2018 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 2019 multicast group. 2020 2021- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 2022 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 2023 2024 If you have many targets in a network that try to 2025 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 2026 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 2027 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 2028 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 2029 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 2030 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 2031 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 2032 following delays are inserted then: 2033 2034 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 2035 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 2036 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 2037 4th and following 2038 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 2039 2040 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE 2041 2042 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The 2043 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and 2044 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of 2045 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses 2046 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP 2047 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to 2048 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it 2049 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that 2050 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order 2051 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these 2052 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of 2053 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this 2054 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding 2055 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers 2056 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. 2057 2058- DHCP Advanced Options: 2059 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 2060 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 2061 2062 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 2063 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 2064 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 2065 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 2066 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 2067 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 2068 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2069 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 2070 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 2071 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 2072 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 2073 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 2074 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 2075 2076 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 2077 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 2078 2079 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 2080 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 2081 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 2082 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 2083 is not available. 2084 2085 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 2086 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 2087 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 2088 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 2089 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 2090 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 2091 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2092 is defined. 2093 2094 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 2095 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 2096 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 2097 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 2098 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 2099 option 12 to the DHCP server. 2100 2101 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 2102 2103 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 2104 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 2105 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 2106 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 2107 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 2108 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 2109 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 2110 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 2111 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 2112 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 2113 this delay. 2114 2115 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 2116 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 2117 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 2118 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 2119 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 2120 2121 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 2122 2123 - CDP Options: 2124 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 2125 2126 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 2127 2128 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 2129 2130 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 2131 of the device. 2132 2133 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 2134 2135 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 2136 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 2137 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 2138 2139 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 2140 2141 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 2142 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 2143 2144 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 2145 2146 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 2147 2148 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 2149 2150 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 2151 2152 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 2153 2154 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 2155 2156 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 2157 2158 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 2159 device in .1 of milliwatts. 2160 2161 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 2162 2163 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 2164 2165- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 2166 2167 Several configurations allow to display the current 2168 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 2169 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 2170 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 2171 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 2172 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 2173 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 2174 feature in U-Boot. 2175 2176 Additional options: 2177 2178 CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2179 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. 2180 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a 2181 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2182 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. 2183 2184 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE 2185 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which 2186 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and 2187 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state. 2188 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined 2189 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity. 2190 2191- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 2192 2193 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 2194 on those systems that support this (optional) 2195 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 2196 2197- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 2198 2199 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 2200 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 2201 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 2202 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See 2203 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line 2204 interface. 2205 2206 ported i2c driver to the new framework: 2207 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: 2208 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define 2209 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE 2210 for defining speed and slave address 2211 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define 2212 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 2213 for defining speed and slave address 2214 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define 2215 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 2216 for defining speed and slave address 2217 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define 2218 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 2219 for defining speed and slave address 2220 2221 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: 2222 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL 2223 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register 2224 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and 2225 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first 2226 bus. 2227 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define 2228 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset 2229 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and 2230 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the 2231 second bus. 2232 2233 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: 2234 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA 2235 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from 2236 100000 and the slave addr 0!

If you 2329 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this 2330 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can 2331 omit this define. 2332 2333 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS 2334 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. 2335 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can 2336 omit this define. 2337 2338 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS 2339 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected 2340 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 2341 define. 2342 2343 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 2344 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if 2345 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 2346 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 2347 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 2348 2349 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2350 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 2351 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 2352 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 2353 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 2354 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 2355 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2356 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 2357 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 2358 } 2359 2360 which defines 2361 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 2362 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 2363 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 2364 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 2365 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 2366 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 2367 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 2368 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 2369 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 2370 2371 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 2372 2373- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C 2374 2375 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which 2376 provides the following compelling advantages: 2377 2378 - more than one i2c adapter is usable 2379 - approved multibus support 2380 - better i2c mux support 2381 2382 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** 2383 2384 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining 2385 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver 2386 for the selected CPU. 2387 2388 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 2389 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 2390 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 2391 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 2392 command line interface. 2393 2394 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 2395 2396 There are several other quantities that must also be 2397 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2398 2399 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 2400 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 2401 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 2402 the CPU's i2c node address). 2403 2404 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 2405 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 2406 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 2407 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 2408 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 2409 2410 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 2411 2412 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2413 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2414 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 2415 commands until the slave device responds. 2416 2417 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2418 2419 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 2420 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 2421 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 2422 2423 I2C_INIT 2424 2425 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 2426 controller or configure ports. 2427 2428 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 2429 2430 I2C_PORT 2431 2432 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2433 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2434 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2435 2436 I2C_ACTIVE 2437 2438 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2439 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2440 define can be null. 2441 2442 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2443 2444 I2C_TRISTATE 2445 2446 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2447 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2448 define can be null. 2449 2450 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2451 2452 I2C_READ 2453 2454 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2455 false if it is low. 2456 2457 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2458 2459 I2C_SDA(bit) 2460 2461 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2462 is false, it clears it (low). 2463 2464 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2465 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2466 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2467 2468 I2C_SCL(bit) 2469 2470 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2471 is false, it clears it (low). 2472 2473 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2474 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2475 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2476 2477 I2C_DELAY 2478 2479 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2480 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2481 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2482 like: 2483 2484 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2485 2486 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2487 2488 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2489 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2490 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2491 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2492 2493 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2494 the generic GPIO functions. 2495 2496 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2497 2498 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2499 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2500 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2501 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2502 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2503 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2504 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2505 is run early in the boot sequence. 2506 2507 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2508 2509 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2510 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2511 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2512 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2513 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2514 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2515 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2516 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2517 2518 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2519 2520 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2521 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2522 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2523 2524 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2525 2526 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2527 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2528 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2529 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2530 2531 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2532 2533 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2534 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2535 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2536 a 1D array of device addresses 2537 2538 e.g. 2539 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2540 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2541 2542 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2543 2544 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2545 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2546 2547 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2548 2549 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2550 2551 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2552 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2553 2554 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2555 2556 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2557 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2558 2559 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2560 2561 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2562 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2563 2564 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2565 2566 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2567 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2568 specified DTT device. 2569 2570 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2571 2572 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2573 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2574 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2575 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2576 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2577 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2578 the other. 2579 2580- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2581 2582 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2583 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2584 D/As on the SACSng board) 2585 2586 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2587 2588 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2589 only SH7757 is supported. 2590 2591 CONFIG_SPI_X 2592 2593 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2594 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2595 2596 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2597 2598 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2599 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2600 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2601 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2602 defined, the board configuration must define several 2603 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2604 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2605 2606 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2607 2608 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2609 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2610 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2611 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2612 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2613 2614 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2615 2616 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2617 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2618 2619 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT 2620 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed. 2621 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */ 2622 2623- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2624 2625 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2626 2627 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2628 2629 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2630 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2631 2632 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2633 2634 Enables support for FPGA family. 2635 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2636 2637 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2638 2639 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2640 2641 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK 2642 2643 Enable support for fpga loadmk command 2644 2645 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP 2646 2647 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream 2648 2649 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP 2650 2651 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream 2652 (Xilinx only) 2653 2654 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2655 2656 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2657 2658 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2659 2660 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2661 status by the configuration function. This option 2662 will require a board or device specific function to 2663 be written. 2664 2665 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2666 2667 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2668 configuration driver. 2669 2670 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2671 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2672 2673 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2674 2675 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2676 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2677 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2678 indicated a CRC error). 2679 2680 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2681 2682 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2683 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2684 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2685 ms. 2686 2687 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2688 2689 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2690 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2691 2692 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2693 2694 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2695 200 ms. 2696 2697- Configuration Management: 2698 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2699 2700 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2701 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2702 2703- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2704 2705 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2706 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2707 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2708 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2709 protects these variables from casual modification by 2710 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2711 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2712 change this behaviour: 2713 2714 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2715 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2716 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2717 these parameters. 2718 2719 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2720 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2721 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2722 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2723 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2724 read-only.] 2725 2726 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2727 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2728 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2729 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2730 2731- Protected RAM: 2732 CONFIG_PRAM 2733 2734 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2735 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2736 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2737 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2738 this default value by defining an environment 2739 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2740 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2741 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2742 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2743 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2744 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2745 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2746 2747 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2748 saveenv 2749 2750 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2751 either, which results in a memory region that will 2752 not be affected by reboots. 2753 2754 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2755 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2756 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2757 following board configurations are known to be 2758 "pRAM-clean": 2759 2760 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2761 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2762 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2763 2764- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2765 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2766 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2767 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2768 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2769 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2770 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2771 2772- Error Recovery: 2773 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2774 2775 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2776 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2777 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2778 system where you want the system to reboot 2779 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2780 useful during development since you can try to debug 2781 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2782 2783 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2784 2785 This variable defines the number of retries for 2786 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2787 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2788 default value of 5 is used. 2789 2790 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2791 2792 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2793 2794 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2795 2796 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2797 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2798 try longer timeout such as 2799 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2800 2801- Command Interpreter: 2802 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2803 2804 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2805 2806 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2807 for the "hush" shell. 2808 2809 2810 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2811 2812 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2813 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2814 powerful command line syntax like 2815 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2816 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2817 2818 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2819 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2820 2821 2822 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2823 2824 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2825 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2826 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2827 2828 Note: 2829 2830 In the current implementation, the local variables 2831 space and global environment variables space are 2832 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2833 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2834 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2835 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2836 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2837 2838 Global environment variables are those you use 2839 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2840 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2841 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2842 2843 To store commands and special characters in a 2844 variable, please use double quotation marks 2845 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2846 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2847 symbols. 2848 2849- Commandline Editing and History: 2850 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2851 2852 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2853 commandline input operations 2854 2855- Default Environment: 2856 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2857 2858 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2859 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2860 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2861 2862 For example, place something like this in your 2863 board's config file: 2864 2865 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2866 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2867 "myvar2=value2\0" 2868 2869 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2870 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2871 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2872 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2873 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2874 You better know what you are doing here. 2875 2876 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2877 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2878 the environment like the "source" command or the 2879 boot command first. 2880 2881 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2882 2883 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2884 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2885 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2886 2887 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2888 2889 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2890 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2891 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2892 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2893 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2894 2895 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2896 2897 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2898 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2899 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2900 2901 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2902 2903 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2904 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2905 that so that the environment is not available until 2906 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2907 this is instead controlled by the value of 2908 /config/load-environment. 2909 2910- DataFlash Support: 2911 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2912 2913 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2914 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2915 commands cp, md... 2916 2917- Serial Flash support 2918 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2919 2920 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2921 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2922 2923 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2924 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2925 commands. 2926 2927 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2928 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2929 flash is present on the system. 2930 2931 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2932 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2933 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2934 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2935 2936 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2937 2938 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2939 test ('sf test'). 2940 2941 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg 2942 2943 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr 2944 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. 2945 2946 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories 2947 2948 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash 2949 memories can be connected with a given cs line. 2950 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections. 2951 2952- SystemACE Support: 2953 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2954 2955 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2956 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2957 of the chip must also be defined in the 2958 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2959 2960 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2961 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2962 2963 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2964 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2965 2966- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2967 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2968 2969 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2970 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2971 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2972 number generator is used. 2973 2974 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2975 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2976 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2977 2978 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2979 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2980 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2981 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2982 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2983 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2984 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2985 2986- Hashing support: 2987 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 2988 2989 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 2990 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 2991 2992 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 2993 2994 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 2995 size a little. 2996 2997 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 2998 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 2999 3000 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 3001 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 3002 3003- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 3004 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 3005 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 3006 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 3007 3008 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 3009 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 3010 a boot from specific media. 3011 3012 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 3013 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 3014 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 3015 will set it back to normal. This command currently 3016 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 3017 3018- Signing support: 3019 CONFIG_RSA 3020 3021 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 3022 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information. 3023 3024 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 3025 option. 3026 3027- bootcount support: 3028 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 3029 3030 This enables the bootcounter support, see: 3031 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 3032 3033 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE 3034 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards. 3035 CONFIG_BLACKFIN 3036 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards. 3037 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX 3038 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards. 3039 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM 3040 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM 3041 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C 3042 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device. 3043 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address 3044 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for 3045 the bootcounter. 3046 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len 3047 3048- Show boot progress: 3049 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 3050 3051 Defining this option allows to add some board- 3052 specific code (calling a user-provided function 3053 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 3054 the system's boot progress on some display (for 3055 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 3056 the following checkpoints are implemented: 3057 3058- Detailed boot stage timing 3059 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 3060 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 3061 of the boot process. 3062 3063 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 3064 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 3065 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 3066 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 3067 the limit, recording will stop. 3068 3069 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 3070 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 3071 3072 Timer summary in microseconds: 3073 Mark Elapsed Stage 3074 0 0 reset 3075 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 3076 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 3077 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 3078 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 3079 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 3080 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 3081 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 3082 3083 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 3084 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 3085 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 3086 3087 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 3088 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 3089 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 3090 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 3091 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 3092 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 3093 For example: 3094 3095 bootstage { 3096 154 { 3097 name = "board_init_f"; 3098 mark = <3575678>; 3099 }; 3100 170 { 3101 name = "lcd"; 3102 accum = <33482>; 3103 }; 3104 }; 3105 3106 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 3107 3108Legacy uImage format: 3109 3110 Arg Where When 3111 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 3112 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

CONFIG_FIT 3276 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 3277 3278 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 3279 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 3280 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 3281 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 3282 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 3283 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 3284 3285 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 3286 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 3287 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See 3288 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 3289 3290 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required 3291 signature check the legacy image format is default 3292 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support 3293 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3294 3295 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256 3296 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size. 3297 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled 3298 with this option. 3299 3300- Standalone program support: 3301 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 3302 3303 This option defines a board specific value for the 3304 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 3305 overwriting the architecture dependent default 3306 settings. 3307 3308- Frame Buffer Address: 3309 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 3310 3311 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 3312 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 3313 when using a graphics controller has separate video 3314 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 3315 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 3316 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 3317 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 3318 configured panel size. 3319 3320 Please see board_init_f function. 3321 3322- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 3323 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 3324 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 3325 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 3326 3327 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 3328 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 3329 3330- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 3331 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 3332 3333 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 3334 Needed for mtdparts command support. 3335 3336 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 3337 3338 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 3339 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 3340 3341 CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE 3342 verify if the written data is correct reread. 3343 3344- UBI support 3345 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 3346 3347 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 3348 with the UBI flash translation layer 3349 3350 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 3351 3352 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3353 3354 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 3355 warnings and errors enabled. 3356 3357 3358 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD 3359 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest 3360 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks 3361 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing 3362 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase 3363 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. 3364 3365 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and 3366 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. 3367 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock 3368 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., 3369 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). 3370 3371 default: 4096 3372 3373 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT 3374 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI 3375 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the 3376 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR 3377 flash), this value is ignored. 3378 3379 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM 3380 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. 3381 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks 3382 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", 3383 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total 3384 count of eraseblocks on the chip). 3385 3386 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to 3387 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks 3388 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire 3389 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means 3390 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad 3391 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same 3392 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a 3393 partition. 3394 3395 default: 20 3396 3397 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP 3398 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device 3399 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it 3400 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. 3401 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach 3402 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where 3403 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install 3404 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter 3405 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note 3406 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations 3407 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap 3408 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. 3409 3410 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT 3411 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images 3412 without a fastmap. 3413 default: 0 3414 3415- UBIFS support 3416 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 3417 3418 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 3419 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 3420 3421 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 3422 3423 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3424 3425 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 3426 warnings and errors enabled. 3427 3428- SPL framework 3429 CONFIG_SPL 3430 Enable building of SPL globally. 3431 3432 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 3433 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 3434 3435 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 3436 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 3437 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 3438 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3439 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3440 must not be both defined at the same time. 3441 3442 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 3443 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 3444 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 3445 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 3446 not exceed it. 3447 3448 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 3449 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 3450 3451 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 3452 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 3453 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 3454 3455 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 3456 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 3457 3458 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3459 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 3460 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 3461 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3462 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3463 must not be both defined at the same time. 3464 3465 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 3466 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 3467 3468 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 3469 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 3470 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 3471 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 3472 3473 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 3474 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3475 3476 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 3477 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3478 3479 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 3480 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 3481 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 3482 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 3483 3484 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT 3485 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL. 3486 See also: doc/README.falcon 3487 3488 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 3489 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 3490 about the running system. 3491 3492 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 3493 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 3494 3495 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 3496 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 3497 3498 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 3499 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 3500 3501 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 3502 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 3503 3504 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 3505 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 3506 3507 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 3508 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 3509 3510 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3511 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3512 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FAT_BOOT_PARTITION 3513 Address, size and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3514 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3515 3516 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3517 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3518 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3519 3520 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3521 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3522 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3523 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3524 (for falcon mode) 3525 3526 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3527 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3528 3529 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3530 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from FAT 3531 3532 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3533 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3534 from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3535 3536 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3537 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3538 when reading from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3539 3540 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3541 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3542 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3543 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3544 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3545 3546 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE 3547 Avoid SPL relocation 3548 3549 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3550 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3551 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3552 3553 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3554 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3555 3556 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3557 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3558 3559 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3560 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3561 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3562 3563 CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT 3564 Support for the MTD subsystem within SPL. Useful for 3565 environment on NAND support within SPL. 3566 3567 CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT 3568 Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for 3569 drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary. 3570 3571 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 3572 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 3573 SPL binary. 3574 3575 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3576 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3577 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3578 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3579 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3580 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3581 to read U-Boot 3582 3583 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT 3584 Add support NAND boot 3585 3586 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3587 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3588 3589 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3590 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3591 3592 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3593 Size of image to load 3594 3595 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3596 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3597 3598 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3599 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3600 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 3601 3602 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3603 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3604 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3605 3606 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3607 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3608 3609 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3610 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3611 3612 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3613 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3614 3615 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3616 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3617 3618 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3619 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3620 3621 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3622 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3623 3624 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3625 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3626 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3627 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3628 3629 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3630 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3631 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3632 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3633 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3634 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3635 3636 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3637 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3638 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3639 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3640 3641 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3642 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3643 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3644 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3645 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3646 3647- TPL framework 3648 CONFIG_TPL 3649 Enable building of TPL globally. 3650 3651 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 3652 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 3653 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3654 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3655 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3656 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3657 3658Modem Support: 3659-------------- 3660 3661[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3662 3663- Modem support enable: 3664 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3665 3666- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3667 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3668 3669- Modem debug support: 3670 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3671 3672 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3673 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3674 3675- Interrupt support (PPC): 3676 3677 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3678 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3679 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3680 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3681 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3682 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3683 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3684 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3685 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3686 general timer_interrupt(). 3687 3688- General: 3689 3690 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3691 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3692 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3693 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3694 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3695 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3696 initialization. 3697 3698 If there are no modem init strings in the 3699 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3700 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3701 suppressed, though. 3702 3703 See also: doc/README.Modem 3704 3705Board initialization settings: 3706------------------------------ 3707 3708During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3709to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3710before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3711following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3712architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3713typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3714 3715- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3716- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3717- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3718- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3719 3720Configuration Settings: 3721----------------------- 3722 3723- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit. 3724 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands. 3725 3726- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3727 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3728 3729- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3730 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3731 3732- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3733 prompt for user input. 3734 3735- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3736 3737- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3738 3739- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3740 3741- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3742 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3743 booted 3744 3745- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3746 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3747 3748- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3749 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3750 3751- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3752 If the board specific function 3753 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3754 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3755 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3756 3757- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3758 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3759 3760- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3761 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3762 3763- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3764 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3765 simple memory test. 3766 3767- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3768 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3769 3770- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3771 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3772 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3773 3774- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3775 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3776 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3777 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3778 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3779 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3780 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3781 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3782 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3783 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3784 3785 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3786 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3787 be touched. 3788 3789 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3790 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3791 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3792 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3793 problems. 3794 3795- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3796 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3797 3798- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3799 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3800 3801- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3802 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3803 Cogent motherboard) 3804 3805- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3806 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3807 3808- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3809 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3810 make config files to be same as the text base address 3811 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3812 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3813 3814- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3815 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3816 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3817 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3818 flash sector. 3819 3820- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3821 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3822 3823- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN 3824 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If 3825 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation 3826 will become available before relocation. The address is just 3827 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make 3828 space. 3829 3830 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses 3831 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc() 3832 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing. 3833 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when 3834 U-Boot relocates itself. 3835 3836 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on sandbox 3837 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs. 3838 3839 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM at present 3840 but is fairly easy to enable for other archs. 3841 3842- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3843 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3844 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3845 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3846 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3847 3848- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3849 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3850 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3851 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3852 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3853 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3854 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3855 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3856 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3857 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3858 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3859 3860- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3861 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3862 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3863 is enabled. 3864 3865- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3866 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3867 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3868 3869- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3870 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3871 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3872 3873- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3874 Max number of Flash memory banks 3875 3876- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3877 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3878 3879- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3880 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3881 3882- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3883 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3884 3885- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3886 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3887 3888- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3889 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3890 3891- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3892 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3893 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3894 3895- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3896 3897 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3898 without this option such a download has to be 3899 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3900 copy from RAM to flash. 3901 3902 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3903 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3904 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3905 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3906 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3907 3908- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3909 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3910 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3911 3912- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3913 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3914 in the drivers directory 3915 3916- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3917 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3918 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3919 to the MTD layer. 3920 3921- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3922 Use buffered writes to flash. 3923 3924- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3925 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3926 write commands. 3927 3928- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3929 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3930 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3931 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3932 optionally available. 3933 3934- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3935 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3936 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3937 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3938 3939- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 3940 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 3941 against the source after the write operation. An error message 3942 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 3943 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 3944 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 3945 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 3946 this option if you really know what you are doing. 3947 3948- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3949 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3950 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3951 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3952 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3953 on high Ethernet traffic. 3954 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3955 3956- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3957 3958 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3959 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3960 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3961 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3962 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3963 3964- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3965- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3966 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 3967 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3968 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3969 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3970 3971 The format of the list is: 3972 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3973 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3974 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3975 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3976 list = entry[,list] 3977 3978 The type attributes are: 3979 s - String (default) 3980 d - Decimal 3981 x - Hexadecimal 3982 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3983 i - IP address 3984 m - MAC address 3985 3986 The access attributes are: 3987 a - Any (default) 3988 r - Read-only 3989 o - Write-once 3990 c - Change-default 3991 3992 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3993 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3994 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3995 3996 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3997 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3998 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3999 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 4000 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 4001 ".flags" variable. 4002 4003- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 4004 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 4005 access flags. 4006 4007- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 4008 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 4009 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 4010 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 4011 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 4012 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 4013 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 4014 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 4015 your board please report the problem and send patches! 4016 4017- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 4018 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 4019 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 4020 the value can be calulated on a given board. 4021 4022The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 4023of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 4024following configurations: 4025 4026- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 4027 4028 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 4029 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 4030 4031- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 4032 4033 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 4034 4035 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 4036 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 4037 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 4038 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 4039 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 4040 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 4041 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 4042 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 4043 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 4044 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 4045 between U-Boot and the environment. 4046 4047 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4048 4049 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 4050 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 4051 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 4052 for this sector is given here. 4053 4054 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 4055 4056 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4057 4058 This is just another way to specify the start address of 4059 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 4060 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 4061 4062 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4063 4064 Size of the sector containing the environment. 4065 4066 4067 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 4068 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 4069 the environment. 4070 4071 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4072 4073 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 4074 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 4075 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 4076 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 4077 4078 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 4079 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 4080 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 4081 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 4082 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 4083 updating the environment in flash makes it always 4084 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 4085 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 4086 RAM, your target system will be dead. 4087 4088 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 4089 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 4090 4091 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 4092 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 4093 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 4094 a "saveenv" operation. 4095 4096BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 4097source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 4098accordingly! 4099 4100 4101- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 4102 4103 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 4104 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 4105 environment. 4106 4107 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4108 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4109 4110 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 4111 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 4112 can just be read and written to, without any special 4113 provision. 4114 4115BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 4116in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 4117console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 4118U-Boot will hang. 4119 4120Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 4121environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 4122keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 4123to save the current settings. 4124 4125 4126- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 4127 4128 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 4129 device and a driver for it. 4130 4131 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4132 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4133 4134 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4135 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 4136 4137 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 4138 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 4139 The default address is zero. 4140 4141 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 4142 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 4143 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 4144 would require six bits. 4145 4146 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 4147 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 4148 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 4149 4150 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 4151 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 4152 that this is NOT the chip address length! 4153 4154 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 4155 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 4156 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 4157 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 4158 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 4159 byte chips. 4160 4161 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 4162 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 4163 in the chip address. 4164 4165 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 4166 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 4167 4168 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 4169 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 4170 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 4171 4172 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 4173 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 4174 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 4175 EEPROM. For example: 4176 4177 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 4178 4179 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 4180 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 4181 4182- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 4183 4184 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 4185 want to use for the environment. 4186 4187 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4188 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4189 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4190 4191 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 4192 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 4193 at the specified address. 4194 4195- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH: 4196 4197 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you 4198 want to use for the environment. 4199 4200 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4201 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4202 4203 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4204 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4205 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4206 4207 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4208 4209 Define the SPI flash's sector size. 4210 4211 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4212 4213 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4214 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4215 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4216 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4217 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4218 4219 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional): 4220 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional): 4221 4222 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0. 4223 4224 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional): 4225 4226 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz. 4227 4228 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional): 4229 4230 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3. 4231 4232- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 4233 4234 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 4235 want to use for the local device's environment. 4236 4237 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4238 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4239 4240 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 4241 environment area within the remote memory space. The 4242 local device can get the environment from remote memory 4243 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 4244 4245BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 4246"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 4247environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 4248but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 4249 4250- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 4251 4252 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 4253 for the environment. 4254 4255 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4256 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4257 4258 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4259 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4260 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4261 4262 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4263 4264 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4265 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4266 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4267 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4268 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4269 4270 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 4271 4272 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 4273 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 4274 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 4275 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 4276 the range to be avoided. 4277 4278 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 4279 4280 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 4281 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 4282 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 4283 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 4284 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 4285 4286- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 4287 4288 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 4289 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 4290 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4291 4292- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 4293 4294 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 4295 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 4296 accesses, which is important on NAND. 4297 4298 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 4299 4300 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 4301 4302 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 4303 4304 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 4305 environment in. 4306 4307 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 4308 4309 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 4310 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 4311 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 4312 4313 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 4314 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 4315 4316 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 4317 when storing the env in UBI. 4318 4319- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT: 4320 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment. 4321 4322 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE: 4323 4324 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device. 4325 4326 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART: 4327 4328 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can 4329 be as following: 4330 4331 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1) 4332 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no 4333 partition table. 4334 - "D:0": device D. 4335 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition 4336 table, or the whole device D if has no partition 4337 table. 4338 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set. 4339 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no 4340 partition table then means device D. 4341 4342 - FAT_ENV_FILE: 4343 4344 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the 4345 envrionment. 4346 4347 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE: 4348 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file. 4349 4350- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 4351 4352 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 4353 environment. 4354 4355 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 4356 4357 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 4358 4359 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 4360 4361 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 4362 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 4363 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 4364 4365 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4366 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4367 4368 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4369 area within the specified MMC device. 4370 4371 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 4372 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 4373 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 4374 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 4375 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 4376 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 4377 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 4378 4379 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 4380 MMC sector boundary. 4381 4382 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4383 4384 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 4385 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 4386 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 4387 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 4388 4389 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 4390 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 4391 4392 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 4393 an MMC sector boundary. 4394 4395 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 4396 4397 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 4398 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 4399 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4400 4401- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 4402 4403 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 4404 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 4405 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 4406 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 4407 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 4408 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 4409 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 4410 4411Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 4412has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 4413created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 4414until then to read environment variables. 4415 4416The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 4417is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 4418with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 4419necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 4420"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 4421have any device yet where we could complain.] 4422 4423Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 4424the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 4425use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 4426 4427- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 4428 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 4429 4430 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 4431 also needs to be defined. 4432 4433- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 4434 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 4435 4436- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 4437 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 4438 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 4439 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 4440 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 4441 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 4442 4443- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 4444 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 4445 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 4446 to do this. 4447 4448- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 4449 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 4450 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 4451 present. 4452 4453- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT: 4454 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the 4455 build system checks that the actual size does not 4456 exceed it. 4457 4458Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 4459--------------------------------------------------- 4460 4461- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 4462 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 4463 4464- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 4465 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 4466 4467 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 4468 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 4469 the IMMR register after a reset. 4470 4471- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 4472 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 4473 PowerPC SOCs. 4474 4475- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 4476 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 4477 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 4478 4479 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 4480 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 4481 4482- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 4483 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 4484 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 4485 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 4486 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 4487 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 4488 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 4489 4490 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 4491 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 4492 4493- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 4494 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 4495 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 4496 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4497 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4498 4499- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 4500 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 4501 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4502 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4503 4504- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 4505 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 4506 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 4507 4508- Floppy Disk Support: 4509 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 4510 4511 the default drive number (default value 0) 4512 4513 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 4514 4515 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 4516 (default value 1) 4517 4518 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 4519 4520 defines the offset of register from address. It 4521 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 4522 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 4523 4524 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 4525 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 4526 default value. 4527 4528 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 4529 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 4530 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 4531 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 4532 initializations. 4533 4534- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 4535 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 4536 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 4537 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 4538 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 4539 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 4540 is requierd. 4541 4542- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 4543 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 4544 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 4545 4546- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 4547 4548 Start address of memory area that can be used for 4549 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 4550 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 4551 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 4552 will become available only after programming the 4553 memory controller and running certain initialization 4554 sequences. 4555 4556 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 4557 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 4558 - MPC824X: data cache 4559 - PPC4xx: data cache 4560 4561- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 4562 4563 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 4564 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 4565 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 4566 data is located at the end of the available space 4567 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 4568 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 4569 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 4570 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 4571 4572 Note: 4573 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 4574 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 4575 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 4576 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 4577 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 4578 4579- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 4580 4581- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 4582 4583- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 4584 4585- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 4586 4587- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 4588 4589- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 4590 4591- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 4592 SDRAM timing 4593 4594- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 4595 periodic timer for refresh 4596 4597- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 4598 4599- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 4600 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 4601 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 4602 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 4603 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 4604 4605- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 4606 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 4607 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 4608 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 4609 4610- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 4611 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 4612 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 4613 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 4614 4615- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4616 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4617 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 4618 4619- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4620 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4621 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 4622 4623- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4624 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4625 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 4626 4627- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4628 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 4629 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 4630 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 4631 4632- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 4633 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 4634 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 4635 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 4636 cpm_8260.h. 4637 4638- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4639 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 4640 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 4641 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4642 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 4643 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 4644 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 4645 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 4646 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 4647 4648- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 4649 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 4650 required. 4651 4652- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 4653 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 4654 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 4655 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 4656 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4657 by coreboot or similar. 4658 4659- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4660 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4661 4662- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4663 Chip has SRIO or not 4664 4665- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4666 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4667 4668- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4669 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4670 4671- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4672 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4673 4674- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4675 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4676 4677- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4678 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4679 4680- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4681 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4682 4683- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4684 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4685 a 16 bit bus. 4686 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4687 Example of drivers that use it: 4688 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4689 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4690 4691- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4692 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4693 a default value will be used. 4694 4695- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4696 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4697 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4698 4699 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4700 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4701 4702- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4703 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4704 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4705 to something your driver can deal with. 4706 4707- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4708 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4709 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4710 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4711 header files or board specific files. 4712 4713- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4714 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4715 4716- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4717 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4718 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4719 4720- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4721 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4722 4723- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4724 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4725 to the given FEC; i. e. 4726 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4727 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4728 4729 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4730 4731- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4732 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4733 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4734 4735- CONFIG_RMII 4736 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4737 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4738 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4739 4740- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4741 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4742 The syntax is: 4743 4744 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4745 4746 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4747 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4748 area should have. 4749 4750- CONFIG_LOOPW 4751 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4752 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4753 4754- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4755 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4756 "md/mw" commands. 4757 Examples: 4758 4759 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4760 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4761 4762 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4763 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4764 4765 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4766 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4767 4768- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4769 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4770 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4771 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4772 relocate itself into RAM. 4773 4774 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4775 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4776 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4777 these initializations itself. 4778 4779- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4780 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4781 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4782 compiling a NAND SPL. 4783 4784- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 4785 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4786 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 4787 It is loaded by the SPL. 4788 4789- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4790 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4791 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4792 previous 4k of the .text section. 4793 4794- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4795 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4796 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4797 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4798 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4799 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4800 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4801 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4802 4803- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4804 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4805 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4806 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4807 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4808 4809- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4810 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4811 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4812 4813- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4814 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4815 4816 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4817 4818- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC: 4819 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms 4820 4821- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE 4822 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver 4823 driver that uses this: 4824 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c 4825 4826Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4827----------------------------------- 4828 4829The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4830loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4831This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4832are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4833within that device. 4834 4835- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR 4836 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The 4837 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4838 is also specified. 4839 4840- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR 4841 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The 4842 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4843 is also specified. 4844 4845- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 4846 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4847 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4848 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4849 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4850 4851- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 4852 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4853 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 4854 virtual address in NOR flash. 4855 4856- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 4857 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 4858 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 4859 4860- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4861 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4862 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4863 4864- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4865 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4866 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4867 4868- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4869 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4870 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4871 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4872 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4873 master's memory space. 4874 4875Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support: 4876--------------------------------------------------------- 4877The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of 4878"firmware". 4879This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4880are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4881within that device. 4882 4883- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET 4884 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs. 4885 4886- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR 4887 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 4888 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro 4889 is also specified. 4890 4891- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH 4892 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4893 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4894 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4895 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4896 4897- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR 4898 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4899 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the 4900 virtual address in NOR flash. 4901 4902Building the Software: 4903====================== 4904 4905Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4906and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4907all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4908(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4909recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4910which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4911 4912If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4913have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4914you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4915Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4916necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4917 4918 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4919 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4920 4921Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4922 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4923 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4924 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4925 4926 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4927 4928 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4929 be executed on computers running Windows. 4930 4931U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4932sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4933is done by typing: 4934 4935 make NAME_defconfig 4936 4937where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4938rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4939 4940Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4941 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4942 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4943 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4944 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4945 4946 make TQM823L_defconfig 4947 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4948 4949 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig 4950 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4951 4952 etc. 4953 4954 4955Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4956images ready for download to / installation on your system: 4957 4958- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 4959- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 4960- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 4961 4962By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 4963in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 4964this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 4965 49661. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 4967 4968 make O=/tmp/build distclean 4969 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig 4970 make O=/tmp/build all 4971 49722. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 4973 4974 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4975 make distclean 4976 make NAME_defconfig 4977 make all 4978 4979Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 4980variable. 4981 4982 4983Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 4984for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 4985native "make". 4986 4987 4988If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 4989to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 4990steps: 4991 49921. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 4993 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 4994 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 49952. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 4996 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 4997 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 49983. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 4999 your board 50003. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 5001 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 50024. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. 50035. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 5004 to be installed on your target system. 50056. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 5006 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 5007 5008 5009Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 5010============================================================== 5011 5012If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 5013or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 5014provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 5015the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 5016official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 5017 5018But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 5019cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 5020the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 5021just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 5022for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 5023select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 5024environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 5025you can type 5026 5027 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5028 5029or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 5030 5031 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 5032 5033When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 5034U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 5035setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 5036built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 5037<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 5038location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 5039variable. For example: 5040 5041 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 5042 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 5043 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5044 5045With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 5046log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 5047during the whole build process. 5048 5049 5050See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 5051 5052 5053Monitor Commands - Overview: 5054============================ 5055 5056go - start application at address 'addr' 5057run - run commands in an environment variable 5058bootm - boot application image from memory 5059bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 5060bootz - boot zImage from memory 5061tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 5062 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 5063 (and eventually "gatewayip") 5064tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 5065rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 5066diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 5067loads - load S-Record file over serial line 5068loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 5069md - memory display 5070mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 5071nm - memory modify (constant address) 5072mw - memory write (fill) 5073cp - memory copy 5074cmp - memory compare 5075crc32 - checksum calculation 5076i2c - I2C sub-system 5077sspi - SPI utility commands 5078base - print or set address offset 5079printenv- print environment variables 5080setenv - set environment variables 5081saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 5082protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 5083erase - erase FLASH memory 5084flinfo - print FLASH memory information 5085nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 5086bdinfo - print Board Info structure 5087iminfo - print header information for application image 5088coninfo - print console devices and informations 5089ide - IDE sub-system 5090loop - infinite loop on address range 5091loopw - infinite write loop on address range 5092mtest - simple RAM test 5093icache - enable or disable instruction cache 5094dcache - enable or disable data cache 5095reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 5096echo - echo args to console 5097version - print monitor version 5098help - print online help 5099? - alias for 'help' 5100 5101 5102Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 5103======================================== 5104 5105TODO. 5106 5107For now: just type "help <command>". 5108 5109 5110Environment Variables: 5111====================== 5112 5113U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 5114can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 5115 5116Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 5117"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 5118without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 5119environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 5120working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 5121environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 5122 5123Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 5124 5125List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 5126 5127 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 5128 5129 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 5130 5131 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 5132 5133 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 5134 5135 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 5136 5137 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5138 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5139 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 5140 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 5141 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 5142 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 5143 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 5144 bootm_mapsize. 5145 5146 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 5147 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 5148 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 5149 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 5150 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 5151 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 5152 used otherwise. 5153 5154 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5155 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5156 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 5157 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 5158 environment variable. 5159 5160 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 5161 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 5162 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 5163 5164 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 5165 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 5166 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 5167 load any image using TFTP 5168 5169 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 5170 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 5171 be automatically started (by internally calling 5172 "bootm") 5173 5174 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 5175 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 5176 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 5177 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 5178 data. 5179 5180 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 5181 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 5182 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 5183 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 5184 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 5185 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 5186 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 5187 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 5188 access it during the boot procedure. 5189 5190 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 5191 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 5192 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 5193 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 5194 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 5195 must be accessible by the kernel. 5196 5197 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 5198 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 5199 defined. 5200 5201 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 5202 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 5203 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 5204 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 5205 it must be saved and board must be reset. 5206 5207 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 5208 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 5209 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 5210 is usually what you want since it allows for 5211 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 5212 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 5213 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 5214 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 5215 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 5216 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 5217 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 5218 5219 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 5220 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 5221 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 5222 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 5223 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 5224 12 MB as well - this can be done with 5225 5226 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 5227 5228 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 5229 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 5230 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 5231 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 5232 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 5233 boot time on your system, but requires that this 5234 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 5235 5236 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5237 5238 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 5239 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 5240 5241 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 5242 5243 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5244 5245 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 5246 5247 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 5248 5249 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 5250 5251 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 5252 5253 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 5254 For example you can do the following 5255 5256 => setenv ethact FEC 5257 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 5258 => setenv ethact SCC 5259 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 5260 5261 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 5262 available network interfaces. 5263 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 5264 5265 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 5266 either succeed or fail without retrying. 5267 When set to "once" the network operation will 5268 fail when all the available network interfaces 5269 are tried once without success. 5270 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 5271 themselves. 5272 5273 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 5274 5275 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by 5276 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 5277 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 5278 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 5279 is silent. 5280 5281 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 5282 UDP source port. 5283 5284 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 5285 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 5286 5287 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 5288 we use the TFTP server's default block size 5289 5290 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 5291 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 5292 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 5293 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 5294 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 5295 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 5296 with unreliable TFTP servers. 5297 5298 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 5299 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 5300 VLAN tagged frames. 5301 5302The following image location variables contain the location of images 5303used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 5304not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 5305variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 5306server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 5307loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 5308flash or offset in NAND flash. 5309 5310*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 5311boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 5312boards use these variables for other purposes. 5313 5314Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 5315----- --------- ----------- -------------- 5316u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 5317Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 5318device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 5319ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 5320 5321The following environment variables may be used and automatically 5322updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 5323depending the information provided by your boot server: 5324 5325 bootfile - see above 5326 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 5327 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 5328 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 5329 hostname - Target hostname 5330 ipaddr - see above 5331 netmask - Subnet Mask 5332 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 5333 serverip - see above 5334 5335 5336There are two special Environment Variables: 5337 5338 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 5339 as type string and/or serial number 5340 ethaddr - Ethernet address 5341 5342These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 5343the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 5344once they have been set once. 5345 5346 5347Further special Environment Variables: 5348 5349 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 5350 with the "version" command. This variable is 5351 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 5352 5353 5354Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 5355only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 5356 5357 5358Callback functions for environment variables: 5359--------------------------------------------- 5360 5361For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 5362when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 5363be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 5364deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 5365effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 5366 5367The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 5368U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 5369 5370These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 5371static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 5372in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 5373associations. The list must be in the following format: 5374 5375 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 5376 list = entry[,list] 5377 5378If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 5379Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 5380 5381Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 5382with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 5383override any association in the static list. You can define 5384CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 5385".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 5386 5387 5388Command Line Parsing: 5389===================== 5390 5391There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 5392the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 5393 5394Old, simple command line parser: 5395-------------------------------- 5396 5397- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 5398- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 5399- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 5400- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 5401 for example: 5402 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 5403- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 5404 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 5405 5406Hush shell: 5407----------- 5408 5409- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 5410 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 5411 until...do...done, ... 5412- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 5413 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 5414 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 5415 command 5416 5417General rules: 5418-------------- 5419 5420(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 5421 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 5422 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 5423 executed anyway. 5424 5425(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 5426 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 5427 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 5428 variables are not executed. 5429 5430Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 5431======================================= 5432 5433Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 5434such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 5435"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 5436 5437Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 5438MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 5439"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 5440 5441If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 5442in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 5443ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 5444variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 5445 5446o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 5447 environment, the SROM's address is used. 5448 5449o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 5450 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 5451 used. 5452 5453o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 5454 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 5455 5456o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 5457 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 5458 warning is printed. 5459 5460o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 5461 is raised. 5462 5463If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 5464will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 5465may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 5466The naming convention is as follows: 5467"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 5468 5469Image Formats: 5470============== 5471 5472U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 5473images in two formats: 5474 5475New uImage format (FIT) 5476----------------------- 5477 5478Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 5479to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 5480components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 5481SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 5482 5483 5484Old uImage format 5485----------------- 5486 5487Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 5488preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 5489details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 5490 5491* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 5492 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 5493 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 5494 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 5495 INTEGRITY). 5496* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 5497 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 5498 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 5499* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 5500* Load Address 5501* Entry Point 5502* Image Name 5503* Image Timestamp 5504 5505The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 5506and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 5507CRC32 checksums. 5508 5509 5510Linux Support: 5511============== 5512 5513Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 5514easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 5515U-Boot. 5516 5517U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 5518special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 5519"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 5520instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 5521serves several purposes: 5522 5523- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 5524 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 5525 Flash memory footprint) 5526 5527- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 5528 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 5529 5530- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 5531 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 5532 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 5533 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 5534 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 5535 software is easier now. 5536 5537 5538Linux HOWTO: 5539============ 5540 5541Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 5542--------------------------------------- 5543 5544U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 5545configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 5546(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 5547Linux :-). 5548 5549But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 5550 5551Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 5552include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 5553Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 5554and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 5555as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 5556 5557Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. 5558If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there 5559is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See 5560doc/driver-model. 5561 5562 5563Configuring the Linux kernel: 5564----------------------------- 5565 5566No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 5567device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 5568 5569 5570Building a Linux Image: 5571----------------------- 5572 5573With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 5574not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 5575"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 5576U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 5577which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 5578100% compatible format. 5579 5580Example: 5581 5582 make TQM850L_defconfig 5583 make oldconfig 5584 make dep 5585 make uImage 5586 5587The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 5588encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 5589CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 5590 5591* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 5592 5593* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 5594 5595 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 5596 -R .note -R .comment \ 5597 -S vmlinux linux.bin 5598 5599* compress the binary image: 5600 5601 gzip -9 linux.bin 5602 5603* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 5604 5605 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 5606 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 5607 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 5608 5609 5610The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 5611with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 5612combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 5613byte header containing information about target architecture, 5614operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 5615stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 5616 5617"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 5618print the header information, or to build new images. 5619 5620In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 5621contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 5622checksum verification: 5623 5624 tools/mkimage -l image 5625 -l ==> list image header information 5626 5627The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 5628from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 5629 5630 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 5631 -n name -d data_file image 5632 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 5633 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 5634 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5635 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 5636 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 5637 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 5638 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 5639 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 5640 5641Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 5642address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 5643kernel version: 5644 5645- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 5646- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 5647 5648So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 5649 5650 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5651 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 5652 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 5653 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 5654 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5655 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5656 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5657 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5658 Load Address: 0x00000000 5659 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5660 5661To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 5662 5663 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 5664 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5665 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5666 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5667 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5668 Load Address: 0x00000000 5669 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5670 5671NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 5672speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 5673needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 5674need to be uncompressed: 5675 5676 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 5677 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5678 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 5679 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 5680 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 5681 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5682 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5683 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5684 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5685 Load Address: 0x00000000 5686 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5687 5688 5689Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5690when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5691 5692 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5693 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5694 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5695 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 5696 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 5697 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 5698 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 5699 Load Address: 0x00000000 5700 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5701 5702The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage.

Usually these programs 5903 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 5904 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 5905 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 5906 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 5907 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5908 being started. 5909 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5910 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5911 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5912 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5913 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5914 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5915 5916 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5917 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5918 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5919 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5920 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5921 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5922 5923 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5924 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5925 flash memory. 5926 5927 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5928 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5929 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5930 as command interpreter. 5931 5932Booting the Linux zImage: 5933------------------------- 5934 5935On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5936using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5937as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5938 5939Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 5940kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5941address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5942format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5943 5944 5945Standalone HOWTO: 5946================= 5947 5948One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5949run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5950U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5951 5952Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5953 5954"Hello World" Demo: 5955------------------- 5956 5957'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 5958application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 5959It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 5960like that: 5961 5962 => loads 5963 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5964 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 5965 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5966 [file transfer complete] 5967 [connected] 5968 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5969 5970 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 5991controlled by the following keys: 5992 5993 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 5994 b - enable interrupts and start timer 5995 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 5996 q - quit application 5997 5998 => loads 5999 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6000 ~>examples/timer.srec 6001 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6002 [file transfer complete] 6003 [connected] 6004 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6005 6006 => go 40004 6007 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 6008 TIMERS=0xfff00980 6009 Using timer 1 6010 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 6011 6012Hit 'b': 6013 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 6014 Enabling timer 6015Hit '?': 6016 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 6017 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 6018Hit '?': 6019 [q, b, e, ?] . 6020 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 6021Hit '?': 6022 [q, b, e, ?] . 6023 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 6024Hit '?': 6025 [q, b, e, ?] . 6026 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 6027Hit 'e': 6028 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 6029Hit 'q': 6030 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 6031 6032 6033Minicom warning: 6034================ 6035 6036Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 6037"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 6038consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 6039Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 6040especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 6041use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 6042http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 6043for help with kermit. 6044 6045 6046Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 6047configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 6048 6049 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 6066 6067 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 6068 # mkdir powerpc 6069 # ln -s powerpc machine 6070 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 6071 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 6072 6073Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 6074and U-Boot include files. 6075 6076Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 6077stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 6078proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 6079tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 6080meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 6081 6082 6083Implementation Internals: 6084========================= 6085 6086The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 6087implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 6088inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 6089hardware. 6090 6091 6092Initial Stack, Global Data: 6093--------------------------- 6094 6095The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 6096starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 6097system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 6098This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 6099is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 6100at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 6101options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 6102models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 6103MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 6104locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 6105 6106 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 6107 U-Boot mailing list: 6108 6109 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 6110 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 6111 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 6112 ... 6113 6114 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 6115 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 6116 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 6117 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 6118 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 6119 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 6120 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 6121 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 6122 6123 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 6124 is another option for the system designer to use as an 6125 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 6126 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 6127 board designers haven't used it for something that would 6128 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 6129 used. 6130 6131 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 6132 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 6133 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 6134 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 6135 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 6136 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 6137 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 6138 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 6139 you get the config right. 6140 6141 -Chris Hallinan 6142 DS4.COM, Inc. 6143 6144It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 6145code for the initialization procedures: 6146 6147* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 6148 to write it. 6149 6150* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 6151 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 6152 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 6153 6154* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 6155 that. 6156 6157Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 6158normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 6159turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 6160simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 6161functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 6162functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 6163the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 6164place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 6165reserve for this purpose. 6166 6167When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 6168relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 6169GCC's implementation. 6170 6171For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 6172 R1: stack pointer 6173 R2: reserved for system use 6174 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 6175 R5-R10: parameter passing 6176 R13: small data area pointer 6177 R30: GOT pointer 6178 R31: frame pointer 6179 6180 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 6181 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 6182 going back and forth between asm and C) 6183 6184 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 6185 6186 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 6187 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 6188 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 6189 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 6190 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 6191 624 text + 127 data). 6192 6193On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 6194 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 6195 6196 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 6197 6198On ARM, the following registers are used: 6199 6200 R0: function argument word/integer result 6201 R1-R3: function argument word 6202 R9: platform specific 6203 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 6204 R11: argument (frame) pointer 6205 R12: temporary workspace 6206 R13: stack pointer 6207 R14: link register 6208 R15: program counter 6209 6210 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 6211 6212 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 6213 6214On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 6215 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 6216 6217 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 6218 6219 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 6220 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 6221 6222On NDS32, the following registers are used: 6223 6224 R0-R1: argument/return 6225 R2-R5: argument 6226 R15: temporary register for assembler 6227 R16: trampoline register 6228 R28: frame pointer (FP) 6229 R29: global pointer (GP) 6230 R30: link register (LP) 6231 R31: stack pointer (SP) 6232 PC: program counter (PC) 6233 6234 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 6235 6236NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 6237or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 6238 6239Memory Management: 6240------------------ 6241 6242U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 6243MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 6244 6245The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 6246controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 6247memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 6248physical memory banks. 6249 6250U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 6251TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 6252booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 6253to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 6254memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 6255configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 6256Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 6257 6258Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 6259of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 6260 6261So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 6262this: 6263 6264 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 6265 : 6266 0x0000 1FFF 6267 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 6268 : 6269 : 6270 6271 : 6272 : 6273 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 6274 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 6275 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 6276 : 6277 0x00FD FFFF 6278 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 6279 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 6280 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 6281 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 6282 6283 6284System Initialization: 6285---------------------- 6286 6287In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 6288(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 6289configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 6290To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 6291To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 6292initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 6293which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 6294part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 6295the caches and the SIU. 6296 6297Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 6298preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 6299(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 6300on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 6301programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 6302simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 6303banks. 6304 6305When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 6306different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 6307bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 63080x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 6309contiguous memory starting from 0. 6310 6311Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 6312and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 6313Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 6314pages, and the final stack is set up. 6315 6316Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 6317until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 6318running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 6319new address in RAM. 6320 6321 6322U-Boot Porting Guide: 6323---------------------- 6324 6325[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 6326list, October 2002] 6327 6328 6329int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 6330{ 6331 sighandler_t no_more_time; 6332 6333 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 6334 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 6335 6336 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 6337 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 6338 return 0; 6339 } 6340 6341 Download latest U-Boot source; 6342 6343 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 6344 6345 if (clueless) 6346 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 6347 6348 while (learning) { 6349 Read the README file in the top level directory; 6350 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 6351 Read applicable doc/*.README; 6352 Read the source, Luke; 6353 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 6354 } 6355 6356 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 6357 Buy a BDI3000; 6358 else 6359 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 6360 6361 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 6362 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 6363 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 6364 } else { 6365 Create your own board support subdirectory; 6366 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 6367 } 6368 Edit new board/<myboard> files 6369 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 6370 6371 while (!accepted) { 6372 while (!running) { 6373 do { 6374 Add / modify source code; 6375 } until (compiles); 6376 Debug; 6377 if (clueless) 6378 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 6379 } 6380 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 6381 if (reasonable critiques) 6382 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 6383 else 6384 Defend code as written; 6385 } 6386 6387 return 0; 6388} 6389 6390void no_more_time (int sig) 6391{ 6392 hire_a_guru(); 6393} 6394 6395 6396Coding Standards: 6397----------------- 6398 6399All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 6400coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 6401"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 6402 6403Source files originating from a different project (for example the 6404MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 6405reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 6406sources. 6407 6408Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 6409Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 6410in your code. 6411 6412Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 6413- remove any trailing white space 6414- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 6415- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 6416- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 6417- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 6418 6419Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 6420with a request to reformat the changes. 6421 6422 6423Submitting Patches: 6424------------------- 6425 6426Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 6427establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 6428may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 6429 6430Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 6431 6432Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 6433see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 6434 6435When you send a patch, please include the following information with 6436it: 6437 6438* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 6439 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 6440 patch actually fixes something. 6441 6442* For new features: a description of the feature and your 6443 implementation. 6444 6445* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 6446 6447* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 6448 6449* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a 6450 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. 6451 6452* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 6453 document these in the README file. 6454 6455* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 6456 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 6457 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 6458 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 6459 with some other mail clients. 6460 6461 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 6462 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 6463 GNU diff. 6464 6465 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 6466 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 6467 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 6468 affected files). 6469 6470 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 6471 and compressed attachments must not be used. 6472 6473* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 6474 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 6475 6476* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 6477 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 6478 6479 6480Notes: 6481 6482* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 6483 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 6484 for any of the boards. 6485 6486* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 6487 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 6488 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 6489 6490* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 6491 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 6492 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 6493 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 6494 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 6495 modification. 6496 6497* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 6498 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 6499 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 6500 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 6501
