24c609719bSwdenkSummary:
25c609719bSwdenk========
26c609719bSwdenk
2724ee89b9SwdenkThis directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
2824ee89b9SwdenkEmbedded boards based on PowerPC and ARM processors, which can be
2924ee89b9Swdenkinstalled in a boot ROM and used to initialize and test the hardware
3024ee89b9Swdenkor to download and run application code.
31c609719bSwdenk
32c609719bSwdenkThe development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
3324ee89b9Swdenkthe source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
3424ee89b9Swdenkheader files in common, and special provision has been made to
35c609719bSwdenksupport booting of Linux images.
36c609719bSwdenk
37c609719bSwdenkSome attention has been paid to make this software easily
38c609719bSwdenkconfigurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
39c609719bSwdenkimplemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
40c609719bSwdenkadd new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
41c609719bSwdenkcode (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
42c609719bSwdenkload and run it dynamically.
43c609719bSwdenk
44c609719bSwdenk
45c609719bSwdenkStatus:
46c609719bSwdenk=======
47c609719bSwdenk
48c609719bSwdenkIn general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
49c609719bSwdenkMakefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
50c609719bSwdenk"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
51c609719bSwdenk
52c609719bSwdenkIn case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
53c609719bSwdenkwho contributed the specific port.

10893f19cc0Swdenk===========
10993f19cc0Swdenk
11093f19cc0SwdenkU-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
11193f19cc0Swdenksub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
11293f19cc0Swdenksub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
11393f19cc0Swdenk
11493f19cc0SwdenkThe patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
11593f19cc0Swdenkbetween released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
11693f19cc0SwdenkU-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".

233c609719bSwdenk
234c609719bSwdenkSoftware Configuration:
235c609719bSwdenk=======================
236c609719bSwdenk
237c609719bSwdenkConfiguration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
238c609719bSwdenkrationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
239c609719bSwdenk
240c609719bSwdenkThere are two classes of configuration variables:
241c609719bSwdenk
242c609719bSwdenk* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
243c609719bSwdenk  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
244c609719bSwdenk  "CONFIG_".
245c609719bSwdenk
246c609719bSwdenk* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
247c609719bSwdenk  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
248c609719bSwdenk  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
249c609719bSwdenk  "CFG_".
250c609719bSwdenk
251c609719bSwdenkLater we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
252c609719bSwdenkidentical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
253c609719bSwdenkdo the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
254c609719bSwdenklinks and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
255c609719bSwdenkas an example here.
256c609719bSwdenk
257c609719bSwdenk
258c609719bSwdenkSelection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
259c609719bSwdenk---------------------------------------------------
260c609719bSwdenk
261c609719bSwdenkFor all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
262c609719bSwdenkconfigurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
263c609719bSwdenk
264c609719bSwdenkExample: For a TQM823L module type:
265c609719bSwdenk
266c609719bSwdenk	cd u-boot
267c609719bSwdenk	make TQM823L_config
268c609719bSwdenk
269c609719bSwdenkFor the Cogent platform, you need to specify the cpu type as well;
270c609719bSwdenke.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
271c609719bSwdenkdirectory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
272c609719bSwdenk
273c609719bSwdenk
274c609719bSwdenkConfiguration Options:
275c609719bSwdenk----------------------
276c609719bSwdenk
277c609719bSwdenkConfiguration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
278c609719bSwdenksuch information is kept in a configuration file
279c609719bSwdenk"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
280c609719bSwdenk
281c609719bSwdenkExample: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
282c609719bSwdenk"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
283c609719bSwdenk
284c609719bSwdenk
2857f6c2cbcSwdenkMany of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
2867f6c2cbcSwdenkkernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
2877f6c2cbcSwdenkbuild a config tool - later.
2887f6c2cbcSwdenk
2897f6c2cbcSwdenk
290c609719bSwdenkThe following options need to be configured:

385c609719bSwdenk					  no 32KHz reference PIT/RTC clock
386c609719bSwdenk
387c609719bSwdenk- Clock Interface:
388c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
389c609719bSwdenk
390c609719bSwdenk		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
391c609719bSwdenk		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
392c609719bSwdenk		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
393c609719bSwdenk		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
394c609719bSwdenk		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
395c609719bSwdenk		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
396c609719bSwdenk		Linux kernel.
397c609719bSwdenk
398c609719bSwdenk		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
399c609719bSwdenk		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is  automatically  included  in  the
400c609719bSwdenk		default environment.
401c609719bSwdenk
402c609719bSwdenk- Console Interface:
403c609719bSwdenk		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
404c609719bSwdenk		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
405c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
406c609719bSwdenk		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
407c609719bSwdenk
408c609719bSwdenk		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
409c609719bSwdenk		port routines must be defined elsewhere
410c609719bSwdenk		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
411c609719bSwdenk
412c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
413c609719bSwdenk		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
414c609719bSwdenk		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx)

450c609719bSwdenk
451c609719bSwdenk		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
452c609719bSwdenk		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
453c609719bSwdenk		environment 'console=serial'.
454c609719bSwdenk
455c609719bSwdenk- Console Baudrate:
456c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
457c609719bSwdenk		Select one of the baudrates listed in
458c609719bSwdenk		CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
459c609719bSwdenk
460c609719bSwdenk- Interrupt driven serial port input:
461c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO
462c609719bSwdenk
463c609719bSwdenk		PPC405GP only.
464c609719bSwdenk		Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the
465c609719bSwdenk		serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake
466c609719bSwdenk		(RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of
467c609719bSwdenk		bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have.
468c609719bSwdenk
469c609719bSwdenk		Set to 0 to disable this feature (this is the default).
470c609719bSwdenk		This will also disable hardware handshake.
471c609719bSwdenk
472c609719bSwdenk- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
473c609719bSwdenk		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
474c609719bSwdenk		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
475c609719bSwdenk
476c609719bSwdenk		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
477c609719bSwdenk		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
478c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
479c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
480c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
481c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
482c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
483c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
484c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
485c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
486c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
487c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
488c609719bSwdenk
489c609719bSwdenk- Autoboot Command:
490c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
491c609719bSwdenk		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
492c609719bSwdenk		define a command string that is automatically executed
493c609719bSwdenk		when no character is read on the console interface
494c609719bSwdenk		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
495c609719bSwdenk
496c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
497c609719bSwdenk		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
498c609719bSwdenk		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
499c609719bSwdenk		environment value "bootargs".
500c609719bSwdenk
501c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
502c609719bSwdenk		The value of these goes into the environment as
503c609719bSwdenk		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
504c609719bSwdenk		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
505c609719bSwdenk		ram and nfs.
506c609719bSwdenk
507c609719bSwdenk- Pre-Boot Commands:
508c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_PREBOOT
509c609719bSwdenk
510c609719bSwdenk		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
511c609719bSwdenk		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
512c609719bSwdenk		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
513c609719bSwdenk		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
514c609719bSwdenk		entering interactive mode.
515c609719bSwdenk
516c609719bSwdenk		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
517c609719bSwdenk		automatically generated or modified. For an example
518c609719bSwdenk		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
519c609719bSwdenk		modified when the user holds down a certain
520c609719bSwdenk		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
521c609719bSwdenk		booting the systems
522c609719bSwdenk
523c609719bSwdenk- Serial Download Echo Mode:
524c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
525c609719bSwdenk		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
526c609719bSwdenk		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
527c609719bSwdenk		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
528c609719bSwdenk		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
529c609719bSwdenk		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
530c609719bSwdenk		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
531c609719bSwdenk
532c609719bSwdenk- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CFG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
533c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
534c609719bSwdenk		Select one of the baudrates listed in
535c609719bSwdenk		CFG_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
536c609719bSwdenk
537c609719bSwdenk- Monitor Functions:
538c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_COMMANDS
539c609719bSwdenk		Most monitor functions can be selected (or
540c609719bSwdenk		de-selected) by adjusting the definition of
541c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_COMMANDS; to select individual functions,
542c609719bSwdenk		#define CONFIG_COMMANDS by "OR"ing any of the
543c609719bSwdenk		following values:
544c609719bSwdenk
545c609719bSwdenk		#define enables commands:
546c609719bSwdenk		-------------------------

585c609719bSwdenk		CFG_CMD_ALL	all
586c609719bSwdenk
587c609719bSwdenk		CFG_CMD_DFL	Default configuration; at the moment
588c609719bSwdenk				this is includes all commands, except
589c609719bSwdenk				the ones marked with "*" in the list
590c609719bSwdenk				above.
591c609719bSwdenk
592c609719bSwdenk		If you don't define CONFIG_COMMANDS it defaults to
593c609719bSwdenk		CFG_CMD_DFL in include/cmd_confdefs.h. A board can
594c609719bSwdenk		override the default settings in the respective
595c609719bSwdenk		include file.
596c609719bSwdenk
597c609719bSwdenk		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
598c609719bSwdenk		support you can write:
599c609719bSwdenk
600c609719bSwdenk		#define CONFIG_COMMANDS (CFG_CMD_ALL & ~CFG_CMD_NET)
601c609719bSwdenk
602c609719bSwdenk
603c609719bSwdenk	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
604c609719bSwdenk		(configuration option CFG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
605c609719bSwdenk		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
606c609719bSwdenk		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
607c609719bSwdenk		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
608c609719bSwdenk		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other

802c609719bSwdenk		CFG_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
803c609719bSwdenk
804d791b1dcSwdenk- Spash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
805d791b1dcSwdenk
806d791b1dcSwdenk                If this option is set, the environment is checked for
807d791b1dcSwdenk                a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
808d791b1dcSwdenk                of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
809d791b1dcSwdenk                is supressed and the BMP image at the address
810d791b1dcSwdenk                specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
811d791b1dcSwdenk                console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
812d791b1dcSwdenk                allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
813d791b1dcSwdenk                loaded very quickly after power-on.
814d791b1dcSwdenk
815d791b1dcSwdenk
816c609719bSwdenk- Ethernet address:
817c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_ETHADDR
818c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
819c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
820c609719bSwdenk
821c609719bSwdenk		Define a default value for ethernet address to use
822c609719bSwdenk		for the respective ethernet interface, in case this
823c609719bSwdenk		is not determined automatically.
824c609719bSwdenk
825c609719bSwdenk- IP address:
826c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_IPADDR
827c609719bSwdenk
828c609719bSwdenk		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
829c609719bSwdenk		the default ethernet interface, in case this is not
830c609719bSwdenk		determined through e.g. bootp.
831c609719bSwdenk
832c609719bSwdenk- Server IP address:
833c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_SERVERIP
834c609719bSwdenk
835c609719bSwdenk		Defines a default value for theIP address of a TFTP
836c609719bSwdenk		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
837c609719bSwdenk
838c609719bSwdenk- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
839c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
840c609719bSwdenk
841c609719bSwdenk		If you have many targets in a network that try to
842c609719bSwdenk		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
843c609719bSwdenk		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
844c609719bSwdenk		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
845c609719bSwdenk		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
846c609719bSwdenk		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
847c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
848c609719bSwdenk		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
849c609719bSwdenk		following delays are insterted then:
850c609719bSwdenk
851c609719bSwdenk		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
852c609719bSwdenk		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
853c609719bSwdenk		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
854c609719bSwdenk		4th and following
855c609719bSwdenk		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
856c609719bSwdenk
857c609719bSwdenk- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
858c609719bSwdenk
859c609719bSwdenk		Several configurations allow to display the current
860c609719bSwdenk		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
861c609719bSwdenk		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
862c609719bSwdenk		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
863c609719bSwdenk		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
864c609719bSwdenk		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
865c609719bSwdenk		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
866c609719bSwdenk		feature in U-Boot.
867c609719bSwdenk
868c609719bSwdenk- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
869c609719bSwdenk
870c609719bSwdenk		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
871c609719bSwdenk		on those systems that support this (optional)
872c609719bSwdenk		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
873c609719bSwdenk
874c609719bSwdenk- I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
875c609719bSwdenk
876c609719bSwdenk		Enables I2C serial bus commands.  If this is selected,
877c609719bSwdenk		either CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C must be defined
878c609719bSwdenk		to include the appropriate I2C driver.
879c609719bSwdenk
880c609719bSwdenk		See also: common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
881c609719bSwdenk		command line interface.
882c609719bSwdenk
883c609719bSwdenk
884c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_HARD_I2C
885c609719bSwdenk
886c609719bSwdenk		Selects the CPM hardware driver for I2C.
887c609719bSwdenk
888c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
889c609719bSwdenk
890c609719bSwdenk		Use software (aka bit-banging) driver instead of CPM
891c609719bSwdenk		or similar hardware support for I2C.  This is configured
892c609719bSwdenk		via the following defines.
893c609719bSwdenk
894c609719bSwdenk		I2C_INIT
895c609719bSwdenk
896c609719bSwdenk		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable I2C
897c609719bSwdenk		controller or configure ports.
898c609719bSwdenk
899c609719bSwdenk		I2C_PORT
900c609719bSwdenk
901c609719bSwdenk		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
902c609719bSwdenk		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
903c609719bSwdenk		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
904c609719bSwdenk
905c609719bSwdenk		I2C_ACTIVE
906c609719bSwdenk
907c609719bSwdenk		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
908c609719bSwdenk		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
909c609719bSwdenk		define can be null.
910c609719bSwdenk
911c609719bSwdenk		I2C_TRISTATE
912c609719bSwdenk
913c609719bSwdenk		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
914c609719bSwdenk		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
915c609719bSwdenk		define can be null.
916c609719bSwdenk
917c609719bSwdenk		I2C_READ
918c609719bSwdenk
919c609719bSwdenk		Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
920c609719bSwdenk		FALSE if it is low.
921c609719bSwdenk
922c609719bSwdenk		I2C_SDA(bit)
923c609719bSwdenk
924c609719bSwdenk		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
925c609719bSwdenk		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
926c609719bSwdenk
927c609719bSwdenk		I2C_SCL(bit)
928c609719bSwdenk
929c609719bSwdenk		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
930c609719bSwdenk		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
931c609719bSwdenk
932c609719bSwdenk		I2C_DELAY
933c609719bSwdenk
934c609719bSwdenk		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
935c609719bSwdenk		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
936c609719bSwdenk		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4).

94147cd00faSwdenk                chips might think that the current transfer is still
94247cd00faSwdenk                in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
94347cd00faSwdenk                the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
94447cd00faSwdenk                processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
94547cd00faSwdenk                connected to the bus. If this option is defined a

950c609719bSwdenk
951c609719bSwdenk		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
952c609719bSwdenk		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and

960c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
961c609719bSwdenk
962c609719bSwdenk		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
963c609719bSwdenk		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
964c609719bSwdenk		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
965c609719bSwdenk		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
966c609719bSwdenk		defined, the board configuration must define several
967c609719bSwdenk		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
968c609719bSwdenk		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

1076c609719bSwdenk- Configuration Management:
1077c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
1078c609719bSwdenk
1079c609719bSwdenk		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1080c609719bSwdenk		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
1081c609719bSwdenk
1082c609719bSwdenk- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1083c609719bSwdenk
1084c609719bSwdenk		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1085c609719bSwdenk		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
1086c609719bSwdenk		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to bb parameters that
1087c609719bSwdenk		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
1088c609719bSwdenk		protects these variables from casual modification by
1089c609719bSwdenk		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
1090c609719bSwdenk		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
1091c609719bSwdenk		change this behviour:
1092c609719bSwdenk
1093c609719bSwdenk		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1094c609719bSwdenk		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
109547cd00faSwdenk		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
1096c609719bSwdenk		these parameters.
1097c609719bSwdenk
1098c609719bSwdenk		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1099c609719bSwdenk		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
1100c609719bSwdenk		ethernet address is installed in the environment,
1101c609719bSwdenk		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
1102c609719bSwdenk		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
1103c609719bSwdenk		read-only.]
1104c609719bSwdenk
1105c609719bSwdenk- Protected RAM:
1106c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_PRAM
1107c609719bSwdenk
1108c609719bSwdenk		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
1109c609719bSwdenk		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
1110c609719bSwdenk		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
1111c609719bSwdenk		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
1112c609719bSwdenk		this default value by defining an environment
1113c609719bSwdenk		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
1114c609719bSwdenk		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
1115c609719bSwdenk		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
1116c609719bSwdenk		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
1117c609719bSwdenk		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
1118c609719bSwdenk		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
1119c609719bSwdenk		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
1120c609719bSwdenk
1121c609719bSwdenk			setenv bootargs ... mem=\$(mem)
1122c609719bSwdenk			saveenv
1123c609719bSwdenk
1124c609719bSwdenk		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
1125c609719bSwdenk		either, which results in a memory region that will
1126c609719bSwdenk		not be affected by reboots.
1127c609719bSwdenk
1128c609719bSwdenk		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
1129c609719bSwdenk		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
1130c609719bSwdenk		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
1131c609719bSwdenk		following board configurations are known to be
1132c609719bSwdenk		"pRAM-clean":
1133c609719bSwdenk
1134c609719bSwdenk			ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
1135c609719bSwdenk			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
1136c609719bSwdenk			PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
1137c609719bSwdenk
1138c609719bSwdenk- Error Recovery:
1139c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
1140c609719bSwdenk
1141c609719bSwdenk		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
1142c609719bSwdenk		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
1143c609719bSwdenk		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
1144c609719bSwdenk		system where you want to system to reboot
1145c609719bSwdenk		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
1146c609719bSwdenk		useful during development since you can try to debug
1147c609719bSwdenk		the conditions that lead to the situation.
1148c609719bSwdenk
1149c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
1150c609719bSwdenk
1151c609719bSwdenk		This variable defines the number of retries for
1152c609719bSwdenk		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
1153c609719bSwdenk		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
1154c609719bSwdenk		default value of 5 is used.
1155c609719bSwdenk
1156c609719bSwdenk- Command Interpreter:
1157c609719bSwdenk		CFG_HUSH_PARSER
1158c609719bSwdenk
1159c609719bSwdenk		Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
1160c609719bSwdenk		Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
1161c609719bSwdenk		powerful command line syntax like
1162c609719bSwdenk		if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
1163c609719bSwdenk		constructs ("shell scripts").
1164c609719bSwdenk
1165c609719bSwdenk		If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
1166c609719bSwdenk		with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
1167c609719bSwdenk
1168c609719bSwdenk
1169c609719bSwdenk		CFG_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
1170c609719bSwdenk
1171c609719bSwdenk		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
1172c609719bSwdenk		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
1173c609719bSwdenk		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
1174c609719bSwdenk
1175c609719bSwdenk	Note:
1176c609719bSwdenk
1177c609719bSwdenk		In the current implementation, the local variables
1178c609719bSwdenk		space and global environment variables space are
1179c609719bSwdenk		separated. Local variables are those you define by
1180c609719bSwdenk		simply typing like `name=value'. To access a local
1181c609719bSwdenk		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
1182c609719bSwdenk		`${name}'; variable directly by typing say `$name' at
1183c609719bSwdenk		the command prompt.
1184c609719bSwdenk
1185c609719bSwdenk		Global environment variables are those you use
1186c609719bSwdenk		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
1187c609719bSwdenk		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
1188c609719bSwdenk		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
1189c609719bSwdenk
1190c609719bSwdenk		To store commands and special characters in a
1191c609719bSwdenk		variable, please use double quotation marks
1192c609719bSwdenk		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
1193c609719bSwdenk		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
1194c609719bSwdenk		symbols.
1195c609719bSwdenk
1196c609719bSwdenk- Default Environment
1197c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
1198c609719bSwdenk
1199c609719bSwdenk		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
1200c609719bSwdenk		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
1201c609719bSwdenk		the default enviroment compiled into the boot image.
12022262cfeeSwdenk
1203c609719bSwdenk		For example, place something like this in your
1204c609719bSwdenk		board's config file:
1205c609719bSwdenk
1206c609719bSwdenk		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
1207c609719bSwdenk			"myvar1=value1\0" \
1208c609719bSwdenk			"myvar2=value2\0"
1209c609719bSwdenk
1210c609719bSwdenk		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
1211c609719bSwdenk		internal format how the environment is stored by the
12122262cfeeSwdenk		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
1213c609719bSwdenk		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
12142262cfeeSwdenk		will change soon, but there is no guarantee either.
1215c609719bSwdenk		You better know what you are doing here.
1216c609719bSwdenk
1217c609719bSwdenk		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
1218c609719bSwdenk		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
1219c609719bSwdenk		the environment like the autoscript function or the
1220c609719bSwdenk		boot command first.
1221c609719bSwdenk
1222c609719bSwdenk- Show boot progress
1223c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
1224c609719bSwdenk
1225c609719bSwdenk		Defining this option allows to add some board-
1226c609719bSwdenk		specific code (calling a user-provided function
1227c609719bSwdenk		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
1228c609719bSwdenk		the system's boot progress on some display (for
1229c609719bSwdenk		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
1230c609719bSwdenk		the following checkpoints are implemented:

1291c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
1292c609719bSwdenk
1293c609719bSwdenk		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
1294c609719bSwdenk		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
1295c609719bSwdenk
1296c609719bSwdenk- General:
1297c609719bSwdenk
1298c609719bSwdenk		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
1299c609719bSwdenk		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
1300c609719bSwdenk		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
1301c609719bSwdenk		(autoboot). The key_pressed() fuction is called from
1302c609719bSwdenk		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
1303c609719bSwdenk		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
1304c609719bSwdenk		initialization.
1305c609719bSwdenk
1306c609719bSwdenk		If there are no modem init strings in the
1307c609719bSwdenk		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
1308c609719bSwdenk		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
1309c609719bSwdenk		supressed, though.

1378c609719bSwdenk		make config files to be same as the text base address
1379c609719bSwdenk		(TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
1380c609719bSwdenk		CFG_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.

1387c609719bSwdenk
1388c609719bSwdenk- CFG_BOOTMAPSZ:
1389c609719bSwdenk		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
1390c609719bSwdenk		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
1391c609719bSwdenk		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, eventually

1393c609719bSwdenk
1394c609719bSwdenk- CFG_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
1395c609719bSwdenk		Max number of Flash memory banks

1408c609719bSwdenk		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
1409c609719bSwdenk		without this option such a download has to be
1410c609719bSwdenk		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
1411c609719bSwdenk		copy from RAM to flash.
1412c609719bSwdenk
1413c609719bSwdenk		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
1414c609719bSwdenk		you can check if the download worked before you erase
1415c609719bSwdenk		the flash, but in some situations (when sytem RAM is
1416c609719bSwdenk		too limited to allow for a tempory copy of the
1417c609719bSwdenk		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
1418c609719bSwdenk
1419c609719bSwdenk- CFG_FLASH_CFI:
1420c609719bSwdenk		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
1421c609719bSwdenk		common flash structure for storing flash geometry
1422c609719bSwdenk
1423c609719bSwdenkThe following definitions that deal with the placement and management
1424c609719bSwdenkof environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
1425c609719bSwdenkfollowing configurations:
1426c609719bSwdenk
1427c609719bSwdenk- CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
1428c609719bSwdenk
1429c609719bSwdenk	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
1430c609719bSwdenk
1431c609719bSwdenk	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
1432c609719bSwdenk	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
1433c609719bSwdenk	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
1434c609719bSwdenk	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
1435c609719bSwdenk	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
1436c609719bSwdenk	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
1437c609719bSwdenk	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
1438c609719bSwdenk	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
1439c609719bSwdenk	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
1440c609719bSwdenk	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
1441c609719bSwdenk	   between U-Boot and the environment.
1442c609719bSwdenk
1443c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
1444c609719bSwdenk
1445c609719bSwdenk	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
1446c609719bSwdenk	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
1447c609719bSwdenk	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
1448c609719bSwdenk	   for this sector is given here.
1449c609719bSwdenk
1450c609719bSwdenk	   CFG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CFG_FLASH_BASE.
1451c609719bSwdenk
1452c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_ADDR:
1453c609719bSwdenk
1454c609719bSwdenk	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
1455c609719bSwdenk	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
1456c609719bSwdenk	   CFG_ENV_OFFSET).
1457c609719bSwdenk
1458c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
1459c609719bSwdenk
1460c609719bSwdenk	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
1461c609719bSwdenk
1462c609719bSwdenk
1463c609719bSwdenk	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
1464c609719bSwdenk	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
1465c609719bSwdenk	   the environment.
1466c609719bSwdenk
1467c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_SIZE:
1468c609719bSwdenk
1469c609719bSwdenk	   If you use this in combination with CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
1470c609719bSwdenk	   and CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
1471c609719bSwdenk	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
1472c609719bSwdenk	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
1473c609719bSwdenk
1474c609719bSwdenk	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
1475c609719bSwdenk	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
1476c609719bSwdenk	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
1477c609719bSwdenk	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
1478c609719bSwdenk	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
1479c609719bSwdenk	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
1480c609719bSwdenk	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
1481c609719bSwdenk	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
1482c609719bSwdenk	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
1483c609719bSwdenk
1484c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
1485c609719bSwdenk	  CFG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
1486c609719bSwdenk
1487c609719bSwdenk	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
1488c609719bSwdenk	   a redundand copy of the environment data, so that there is
14893e38691eSwdenk	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
1490c609719bSwdenk	   a "saveenv" operation.
1491c609719bSwdenk
1492c609719bSwdenkBE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
1493c609719bSwdenksource code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
1494c609719bSwdenkaccordingly!
1495c609719bSwdenk
1496c609719bSwdenk
1497c609719bSwdenk- CFG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
1498c609719bSwdenk
1499c609719bSwdenk	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
1500c609719bSwdenk	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
1501c609719bSwdenk	environment.
1502c609719bSwdenk
1503c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_ADDR:
1504c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_SIZE:
1505c609719bSwdenk
1506c609719bSwdenk	  These two #defines are used to determin the memory area you
1507c609719bSwdenk	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
1508c609719bSwdenk	  can just be read and written to, without any special
1509c609719bSwdenk	  provision.
1510c609719bSwdenk
1511c609719bSwdenkBE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
1512c609719bSwdenkin U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
1513c609719bSwdenkconsole baudrate). You *MUST* have mappend your NVRAM area then, or
1514c609719bSwdenkU-Boot will hang.
1515c609719bSwdenk
1516c609719bSwdenkPlease note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
1517c609719bSwdenkenvironment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
1518c609719bSwdenkkeep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
1519c609719bSwdenkto save the current settings.
1520c609719bSwdenk
1521c609719bSwdenk
1522c609719bSwdenk- CFG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
1523c609719bSwdenk
1524c609719bSwdenk	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
1525c609719bSwdenk	device and a driver for it.
1526c609719bSwdenk
1527c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
1528c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_SIZE:
1529c609719bSwdenk
1530c609719bSwdenk	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
1531c609719bSwdenk	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
1532c609719bSwdenk
1533c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
1534c609719bSwdenk	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
1535c609719bSwdenk	  The default address is zero.
1536c609719bSwdenk
1537c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
1538c609719bSwdenk	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
1539c609719bSwdenk	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
1540c609719bSwdenk	  would require six bits.
1541c609719bSwdenk
1542c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
1543c609719bSwdenk	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
1544c609719bSwdenk	  page writes.  The default is zero milliseconds.
1545c609719bSwdenk
1546c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
1547c609719bSwdenk	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
1548c609719bSwdenk	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
1549c609719bSwdenk
1550c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_EEPROM_SIZE:
1551c609719bSwdenk	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
1552c609719bSwdenk
1553c609719bSwdenk
1554c609719bSwdenk- CFG_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
1555c609719bSwdenk
1556c609719bSwdenk	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
1557c609719bSwdenk	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
1558c609719bSwdenk	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
1559c609719bSwdenk	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
1560c609719bSwdenk	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
1561c609719bSwdenk	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
1562c609719bSwdenk	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
1563c609719bSwdenk
1564c609719bSwdenkPlease note that the environment is read-only as long as the monitor
1565c609719bSwdenkhas been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
1566c609719bSwdenkcreated; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
1567c609719bSwdenkuntil then to read environment variables.
1568c609719bSwdenk
156985ec0bccSwdenkThe environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
157085ec0bccSwdenkis relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
157185ec0bccSwdenkwith the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
157285ec0bccSwdenknecessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
157385ec0bccSwdenk"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
157485ec0bccSwdenkhave any device yet where we could complain.]
1575c609719bSwdenk
1576c609719bSwdenkNote: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
1577c609719bSwdenkthe default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
157885ec0bccSwdenkuse the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

1588c609719bSwdenk		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
1589c609719bSwdenk		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS and RPXsuper)
1590c609719bSwdenk		to be able to adjust the position of the IMMR
1591c609719bSwdenk		register after a reset.

16037f6c2cbcSwdenk		CFG_ISA_IO_OFFSET
16047f6c2cbcSwdenk
16057f6c2cbcSwdenk		defines the offset of register from address. It
16067f6c2cbcSwdenk		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
16077f6c2cbcSwdenk		the fdc chipset. (default value 0)
16087f6c2cbcSwdenk
16097f6c2cbcSwdenk		If CFG_ISA_IO_STRIDE CFG_ISA_IO_OFFSET and

16117f6c2cbcSwdenk		default value.
16127f6c2cbcSwdenk
16137f6c2cbcSwdenk		if CFG_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
16147f6c2cbcSwdenk		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
16157f6c2cbcSwdenk		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
16167f6c2cbcSwdenk		source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
16177f6c2cbcSwdenk		initializations.

1624c609719bSwdenk
1625c609719bSwdenk		Start address of memory area tha can be used for
1626c609719bSwdenk		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
1627c609719bSwdenk		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
1628c609719bSwdenk		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
1629c609719bSwdenk		will become available only after programming the
1630c609719bSwdenk		memory controller and running certain initialization
1631c609719bSwdenk		sequences.
1632c609719bSwdenk
1633c609719bSwdenk		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
1634c609719bSwdenk		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
1635c609719bSwdenk		- MPC824X: data cache

1640c609719bSwdenk		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
1641c609719bSwdenk		area defined by CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
164285ec0bccSwdenk		CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
1643c609719bSwdenk		data is located at the end of the available space
1644c609719bSwdenk		(sometimes written as (CFG_INIT_RAM_END -
1645c609719bSwdenk		CFG_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
1646c609719bSwdenk		below that area (growing from (CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
164785ec0bccSwdenk		CFG_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
1648c609719bSwdenk
1649c609719bSwdenk	Note:
1650c609719bSwdenk		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
1651c609719bSwdenk		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
1652c609719bSwdenk		CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
1653c609719bSwdenk		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
1654c609719bSwdenk		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

1711c609719bSwdenkBuilding the Software:
1712c609719bSwdenk======================
1713c609719bSwdenk
1714c609719bSwdenkBuilding U-Boot has been tested in native PPC environments (on a
1715c609719bSwdenkPowerBook G3 running LinuxPPC 2000) and in cross environments
1716c609719bSwdenk(running RedHat 6.x and 7.x Linux on x86, Solaris 2.6 on a SPARC, and
1717c609719bSwdenkNetBSD 1.5 on x86).
1718c609719bSwdenk
1719c609719bSwdenkIf you are not using a native PPC environment, it is assumed that you
1720c609719bSwdenkhave the GNU cross compiling tools available in your path and named
1721c609719bSwdenkwith a prefix of "powerpc-linux-". If this is not the case, (e.g. if
1722c609719bSwdenkyou are using Monta Vista's Hard Hat Linux CDK 1.2) you must change
1723c609719bSwdenkthe definition of CROSS_COMPILE in Makefile. For HHL on a 4xx CPU,
1724c609719bSwdenkchange it to:
1725c609719bSwdenk
1726c609719bSwdenk	CROSS_COMPILE = ppc_4xx-
1727c609719bSwdenk
1728c609719bSwdenk
1729c609719bSwdenkU-Boot is intended to be  simple  to  build.  After  installing  the
1730c609719bSwdenksources	 you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
1731c609719bSwdenkis done by typing:
1732c609719bSwdenk
1733c609719bSwdenk	make NAME_config
1734c609719bSwdenk
1735c609719bSwdenkwhere "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing
1736c609719bSwdenkconfigurations; the following names are supported:
1737c609719bSwdenk
1738c609719bSwdenk    ADCIOP_config	  GTH_config		TQM850L_config

1754c609719bSwdenk
1755c609719bSwdenkNote: for some board special configuration names may exist; check  if
1756c609719bSwdenk      additional  information is available from the board vendor; for
1757c609719bSwdenk      instance, the TQM8xxL systems run normally at 50 MHz and use  a
1758c609719bSwdenk      SCC  for	10baseT	 ethernet; there are also systems with 80 MHz
1759c609719bSwdenk      CPU clock, and an optional Fast Ethernet	module	is  available
1760c609719bSwdenk      for  CPU's  with FEC. You can select such additional "features"
1761c609719bSwdenk      when chosing the configuration, i. e.
1762c609719bSwdenk
1763c609719bSwdenk      make TQM860L_config
1764c609719bSwdenk	- will configure for a plain TQM860L, i. e. 50MHz, no FEC
1765c609719bSwdenk
1766c609719bSwdenk      make TQM860L_FEC_config
1767c609719bSwdenk	- will configure for a TQM860L at 50MHz with FEC for ethernet
1768c609719bSwdenk
1769c609719bSwdenk      make TQM860L_80MHz_config
1770c609719bSwdenk	- will configure for a TQM860L at 80 MHz, with normal 10baseT
1771c609719bSwdenk	  interface
1772c609719bSwdenk
1773c609719bSwdenk      make TQM860L_FEC_80MHz_config
1774c609719bSwdenk	- will configure for a TQM860L at 80 MHz with FEC for ethernet
1775c609719bSwdenk
1776c609719bSwdenk      make TQM823L_LCD_config
1777c609719bSwdenk	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
1778c609719bSwdenk
1779c609719bSwdenk      make TQM823L_LCD_80MHz_config
1780c609719bSwdenk	- will configure for a TQM823L at 80 MHz with U-Boot console on LCD
1781c609719bSwdenk
1782c609719bSwdenk      etc.
1783c609719bSwdenk
1784c609719bSwdenk
1785c609719bSwdenk
1786c609719bSwdenkFinally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
1787c609719bSwdenkimages ready for downlod to / installation on your system:
1788c609719bSwdenk
1789c609719bSwdenk- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
1790c609719bSwdenk- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
1791c609719bSwdenk- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
1792c609719bSwdenk
1793c609719bSwdenk
1794c609719bSwdenkPlease be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
1795c609719bSwdenkfor instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
1796c609719bSwdenknative "make".
1797c609719bSwdenk
1798c609719bSwdenk
1799c609719bSwdenkIf the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
1800c609719bSwdenkto port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
1801c609719bSwdenksteps:
1802c609719bSwdenk
1803c609719bSwdenk1.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
180485ec0bccSwdenk    "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
180585ec0bccSwdenk    entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
180685ec0bccSwdenk    boards and other names are listed alphabetically sorted. Please
180785ec0bccSwdenk    keep this order.
1808c609719bSwdenk2.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
180985ec0bccSwdenk    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
181085ec0bccSwdenk    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
181185ec0bccSwdenk3.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
181285ec0bccSwdenk    your board
1813c609719bSwdenk3.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
1814c609719bSwdenk    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
181585ec0bccSwdenk4.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
1816c609719bSwdenk5.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
1817c609719bSwdenk    to be installed on your target system.
181885ec0bccSwdenk6.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
1819c609719bSwdenk    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
1820c609719bSwdenk
1821c609719bSwdenk
1822c609719bSwdenkTesting of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
1823c609719bSwdenk==============================================================
1824c609719bSwdenk
1825c609719bSwdenkIf you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new	board
1826c609719bSwdenkor  support  for  new  devices,	 a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
1827c609719bSwdenkprovide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
1828c609719bSwdenkthe form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
1829c609719bSwdenkofficial or latest in CVS) version of U-Boot sources.
1830c609719bSwdenk
1831c609719bSwdenkBut before you submit such a patch, please verify that	your  modifi-
1832c609719bSwdenkcation	did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
1833c609719bSwdenkthe supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
1834c609719bSwdenkjust run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
1835c609719bSwdenkfor ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You  can
1836c609719bSwdenkselect	which  (cross)	compiler  to use py passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
1837c609719bSwdenkenvironment variable to the script, i. e. to use the cross tools from
1838c609719bSwdenkMontaVista's Hard Hat Linux you can type
1839c609719bSwdenk
1840c609719bSwdenk	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
1841c609719bSwdenk
1842c609719bSwdenkor to build on a native PowerPC system you can type

1902c609719bSwdenkMonitor Commands - Detailed Description:
1903c609719bSwdenk========================================
1904c609719bSwdenk
1905c609719bSwdenkTODO.
1906c609719bSwdenk
1907c609719bSwdenkFor now: just type "help <command>".
1908c609719bSwdenk
1909c609719bSwdenk
1910c609719bSwdenkEnvironment Variables:
1911c609719bSwdenk======================
1912c609719bSwdenk
1913c609719bSwdenkU-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
1914c609719bSwdenkcan be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
1915c609719bSwdenk
1916c609719bSwdenkEnvironment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
1917c609719bSwdenk"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
1918c609719bSwdenkwithout a value can be used to delete a variable from the
1919c609719bSwdenkenvironment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
1920c609719bSwdenkworking with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
1921c609719bSwdenkenvironment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
1922c609719bSwdenk
1923c609719bSwdenkSome configuration options can be set using Environment Variables:
1924c609719bSwdenk
1925c609719bSwdenk  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
1926c609719bSwdenk
1927c609719bSwdenk  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1928c609719bSwdenk
1929c609719bSwdenk  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
1930c609719bSwdenk
1931c609719bSwdenk  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
1932c609719bSwdenk
1933c609719bSwdenk  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
1934c609719bSwdenk
1935c609719bSwdenk  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
1936c609719bSwdenk		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
1937c609719bSwdenk		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
1938c609719bSwdenk		  load any image using TFTP
1939c609719bSwdenk
1940c609719bSwdenk  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
1941c609719bSwdenk		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
1942c609719bSwdenk		  be automatically started (by internally calling
1943c609719bSwdenk		  "bootm")
1944c609719bSwdenk
19454a6fd34bSwdenk		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
19464a6fd34bSwdenk		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
19474a6fd34bSwdenk		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
19484a6fd34bSwdenk		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
19494a6fd34bSwdenk		  data.
19504a6fd34bSwdenk
1951c609719bSwdenk  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
1952c609719bSwdenk		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
1953c609719bSwdenk		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
1954c609719bSwdenk		  is usually what you want since it allows for
1955c609719bSwdenk		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
1956c609719bSwdenk		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
1957c609719bSwdenk		  CFG_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
1958c609719bSwdenk		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
1959c609719bSwdenk		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
1960c609719bSwdenk		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
1961c609719bSwdenk		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
1962c609719bSwdenk
1963c609719bSwdenk		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
1964c609719bSwdenk		  RAM, and want to reseve 4 MB from use by Linux,
1965c609719bSwdenk		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
1966c609719bSwdenk		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
1967c609719bSwdenk		  sure, that the initrd image is placed in the first
1968c609719bSwdenk		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
1969c609719bSwdenk
1970c609719bSwdenk		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
1971c609719bSwdenk
1972c609719bSwdenk  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
1973c609719bSwdenk
1974c609719bSwdenk  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
1975dc7c9a1aSwdenk		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
1976c609719bSwdenk
1977c609719bSwdenk  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1978c609719bSwdenk
1979c609719bSwdenk  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
1980c609719bSwdenk
1981c609719bSwdenk  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
1982c609719bSwdenk
1983c609719bSwdenk  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
1984c609719bSwdenk
1985c609719bSwdenk  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
1986c609719bSwdenk
1987c609719bSwdenk
1988c609719bSwdenkThe following environment variables may be used and automatically
1989c609719bSwdenkupdated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
1990c609719bSwdenkdepending the information provided by your boot server:
1991c609719bSwdenk
1992c609719bSwdenk  bootfile	- see above
1993c609719bSwdenk  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
1994c609719bSwdenk  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
1995c609719bSwdenk  hostname	- Target hostname
1996c609719bSwdenk  ipaddr	- see above
1997c609719bSwdenk  netmask	- Subnet Mask
1998c609719bSwdenk  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
1999c609719bSwdenk  serverip	- see above
2000c609719bSwdenk
2001c609719bSwdenk
2002c609719bSwdenkThere are two special Environment Variables:
2003c609719bSwdenk
2004c609719bSwdenk  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
2005c609719bSwdenk		  as type string and/or serial number
2006c609719bSwdenk  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
2007c609719bSwdenk
2008c609719bSwdenkThese variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
2009c609719bSwdenkthe board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
2010c609719bSwdenkonce they have been set once.
2011c609719bSwdenk
2012c609719bSwdenk
2013c1551ea8SstroeseFurther special Environment Variables:
2014c1551ea8Sstroese
2015c1551ea8Sstroese  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
2016c1551ea8Sstroese		  with the "version" command. This variable is
2017c1551ea8Sstroese		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
2018c1551ea8Sstroese
2019c1551ea8Sstroese
2020c609719bSwdenkPlease note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
2021c609719bSwdenkonly effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
2022c609719bSwdenk
2023c609719bSwdenk
2024c609719bSwdenkNote for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
2025c609719bSwdenk=======================================
2026c609719bSwdenk
2027c609719bSwdenkSome boards come with redundand ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2028c609719bSwdenksuch configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
2029c609719bSwdenk"working" interface when needed. MAC assignemnt works as follows:
2030c609719bSwdenk
2031c609719bSwdenkNetwork interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
2032c609719bSwdenkMAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
2033c609719bSwdenk"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
2034c609719bSwdenk
2035c609719bSwdenkIf the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
2036c609719bSwdenkin SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
2037c609719bSwdenkding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
2038c609719bSwdenkvariable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
2039c609719bSwdenk
2040c609719bSwdenko If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
2041c609719bSwdenk  environment, the SROM's address is used.
2042c609719bSwdenk
2043c609719bSwdenko If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
2044c609719bSwdenk  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
2045c609719bSwdenk  used.
2046c609719bSwdenk
2047c609719bSwdenko If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
2048c609719bSwdenk  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
2049c609719bSwdenk
2050c609719bSwdenko If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
2051c609719bSwdenk  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
2052c609719bSwdenk  warning is printed.
2053c609719bSwdenk
2054c609719bSwdenko If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
2055c609719bSwdenk  is raised.

2059c609719bSwdenkImage Formats:
2060c609719bSwdenk==============
2061c609719bSwdenk
2062c609719bSwdenkThe "boot" commands of this monitor operate on "image" files which
2063c609719bSwdenkcan be basicly anything, preceeded by a special header; see the
2064c609719bSwdenkdefinitions in include/image.h for details; basicly, the header
2065c609719bSwdenkdefines the following image properties:
2066c609719bSwdenk
2067c609719bSwdenk* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
2068c609719bSwdenk  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
2069c609719bSwdenk  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX;
2070c609719bSwdenk  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX).
2071c609719bSwdenk* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86,
2072c609719bSwdenk  IA64, MIPS, MIPS, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
2073c609719bSwdenk  Currently supported: PowerPC).
2074c609719bSwdenk* Compression Type (Provisions for uncompressed, gzip, bzip2;
2075c609719bSwdenk  Currently supported: uncompressed, gzip).
2076c609719bSwdenk* Load Address
2077c609719bSwdenk* Entry Point
2078c609719bSwdenk* Image Name
2079c609719bSwdenk* Image Timestamp
2080c609719bSwdenk
2081c609719bSwdenkThe header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
2082c609719bSwdenkand the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
2083c609719bSwdenkCRC32 checksums.
2084c609719bSwdenk
2085c609719bSwdenk
2086c609719bSwdenkLinux Support:
2087c609719bSwdenk==============
2088c609719bSwdenk
2089c609719bSwdenkAlthough U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
2090c609719bSwdenkeasily, Linux has always been in the focus during the design of
2091c609719bSwdenkU-Boot.
2092c609719bSwdenk
2093c609719bSwdenkU-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
2094c609719bSwdenkspecial "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
2095c609719bSwdenk"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
2096c609719bSwdenkinstead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
2097c609719bSwdenkserves serveral purposes:
2098c609719bSwdenk
2099c609719bSwdenk- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
2100c609719bSwdenk  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
2101c609719bSwdenk  Flash memory footprint)
2102c609719bSwdenk
2103c609719bSwdenk- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
2104c609719bSwdenk  lots of low-level, hardware dependend stuff are done by U-Boot
2105c609719bSwdenk
2106c609719bSwdenk- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
2107c609719bSwdenk  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
2108c609719bSwdenk  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
2109c609719bSwdenk  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
2110c609719bSwdenk  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
2111c609719bSwdenk  software is easier now.
2112c609719bSwdenk
2113c609719bSwdenk
2114c609719bSwdenkLinux HOWTO:
2115c609719bSwdenk============
2116c609719bSwdenk
2117c609719bSwdenkPorting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
2118c609719bSwdenk---------------------------------------
2119c609719bSwdenk
2120c609719bSwdenkU-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
2121c609719bSwdenkconfigure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
2122c609719bSwdenk(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
2123c609719bSwdenkLinux :-).
2124c609719bSwdenk
2125c609719bSwdenkBut now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
2126c609719bSwdenk
2127c609719bSwdenkJust make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
2128c609719bSwdenkinclude/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
2129c609719bSwdenkInformation structure as we define in include/u-boot.h, and make
2130c609719bSwdenksure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value as your
2131c609719bSwdenkU-Boot configuration in CFG_IMMR.
2132c609719bSwdenk
2133c609719bSwdenk
2134c609719bSwdenkConfiguring the Linux kernel:
2135c609719bSwdenk-----------------------------
2136c609719bSwdenk
2137c609719bSwdenkNo specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
2138c609719bSwdenkdevice (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
2139c609719bSwdenk
2140c609719bSwdenk
2141c609719bSwdenkBuilding a Linux Image:
2142c609719bSwdenk-----------------------
2143c609719bSwdenk
214424ee89b9SwdenkWith U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
214524ee89b9Swdenknot used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
214624ee89b9Swdenk"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
214724ee89b9SwdenkU-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
214824ee89b9Swdenkwhich was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
214924ee89b9Swdenk100% compatible format.
2150c609719bSwdenk
2151c609719bSwdenkExample:
2152c609719bSwdenk
2153c609719bSwdenk	make TQM850L_config
2154c609719bSwdenk	make oldconfig
2155c609719bSwdenk	make dep
215624ee89b9Swdenk	make uImage
2157c609719bSwdenk
215824ee89b9SwdenkThe "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
215924ee89b9Swdenkencapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header  information,
216024ee89b9SwdenkCRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
2161c609719bSwdenk
216224ee89b9Swdenk* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
216324ee89b9Swdenk
216424ee89b9Swdenk* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
216524ee89b9Swdenk
216624ee89b9Swdenk	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
216724ee89b9Swdenk				 -R .note -R .comment \
216824ee89b9Swdenk				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
216924ee89b9Swdenk
217024ee89b9Swdenk* compress the binary image:
217124ee89b9Swdenk
217224ee89b9Swdenk	gzip -9 linux.bin
217324ee89b9Swdenk
217424ee89b9Swdenk* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
217524ee89b9Swdenk
217624ee89b9Swdenk	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
217724ee89b9Swdenk		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
217824ee89b9Swdenk		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
217924ee89b9Swdenk
218024ee89b9Swdenk
218124ee89b9SwdenkThe "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
218224ee89b9Swdenkwith U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
218324ee89b9Swdenkcombined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
218424ee89b9Swdenkbyte header containing information about target architecture,
218524ee89b9Swdenkoperating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
218624ee89b9Swdenkstamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.

218824ee89b9Swdenk"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
218924ee89b9Swdenkprint the header information, or to build new images.
2190c609719bSwdenk
2191c609719bSwdenkIn the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
2192c609719bSwdenkcontained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
2193c609719bSwdenkchecksum verification:
2194c609719bSwdenk
2195c609719bSwdenk	tools/mkimage -l image
2196c609719bSwdenk	  -l ==> list image header information
2197c609719bSwdenk
2198c609719bSwdenkThe second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
2199c609719bSwdenkfrom a "data file" which is used as image payload:
2200c609719bSwdenk
2201c609719bSwdenk	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
2202c609719bSwdenk		      -n name -d data_file image
2203c609719bSwdenk	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
2204c609719bSwdenk	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
2205c609719bSwdenk	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
2206c609719bSwdenk	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
2207c609719bSwdenk	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
2208c609719bSwdenk	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
2209c609719bSwdenk	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
2210c609719bSwdenk	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
2211c609719bSwdenk
2212c609719bSwdenkRight now, all Linux kernels use the same load address	(0x00000000),
2213c609719bSwdenkbut the entry point address depends on the kernel version:
2214c609719bSwdenk
2215c609719bSwdenk- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
221624ee89b9Swdenk- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
2217c609719bSwdenk
2218c609719bSwdenkSo a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
2219c609719bSwdenk
222024ee89b9Swdenk	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \

2230c609719bSwdenk
2231c609719bSwdenkTo verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
2232c609719bSwdenk

2241c609719bSwdenkNOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
2242c609719bSwdenkspeed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
2243c609719bSwdenkneeds more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
2244c609719bSwdenkneed to be uncompressed:

2259c609719bSwdenkSimilar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
2260c609719bSwdenkwhen your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:

2273c609719bSwdenkInstalling a Linux Image:
2274c609719bSwdenk-------------------------
2275c609719bSwdenk
2276c609719bSwdenkTo downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
2277c609719bSwdenkyou must convert the image to S-Record format:
2278c609719bSwdenk
2279c609719bSwdenk	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
2280c609719bSwdenk
2281c609719bSwdenkThe 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
2282c609719bSwdenkimage header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
2283c609719bSwdenkaddress 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
2284c609719bSwdenkspecify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
2285c609719bSwdenkcommand.
2286c609719bSwdenk
2287c609719bSwdenkExample: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
2288c609719bSwdenkTQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
2289c609719bSwdenk
2290c609719bSwdenk	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF

2324c609719bSwdenk
2325c609719bSwdenkThe "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
2326c609719bSwdenkmemory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
2327c609719bSwdenkof the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
2328c609719bSwdenkparameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
2329c609719bSwdenk"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
2330c609719bSwdenk

24056069ff26SwdenkMore About U-Boot Image Types:
24066069ff26Swdenk------------------------------
24076069ff26Swdenk
24086069ff26SwdenkU-Boot supports the following image types:
24096069ff26Swdenk
24106069ff26Swdenk   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
24116069ff26Swdenk  	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
24126069ff26Swdenk  	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
24136069ff26Swdenk  	the Standalone Program.
24146069ff26Swdenk   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
24156069ff26Swdenk  	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
24166069ff26Swdenk  	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
24176069ff26Swdenk  	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
24186069ff26Swdenk  	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
24196069ff26Swdenk   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
24206069ff26Swdenk  	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
24216069ff26Swdenk  	being started.
24226069ff26Swdenk   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
24236069ff26Swdenk  	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
24246069ff26Swdenk  	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
24256069ff26Swdenk  	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
24266069ff26Swdenk  	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
24276069ff26Swdenk  	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
24286069ff26Swdenk
24296069ff26Swdenk  	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
24306069ff26Swdenk  	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
24316069ff26Swdenk  	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
24326069ff26Swdenk  	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
24336069ff26Swdenk  	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
24346069ff26Swdenk  	a multiple of 4 bytes).
24356069ff26Swdenk
24366069ff26Swdenk   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
24376069ff26Swdenk  	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
24386069ff26Swdenk  	flash memory.
24396069ff26Swdenk
24406069ff26Swdenk   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
24416069ff26Swdenk  	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
24426069ff26Swdenk  	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
24436069ff26Swdenk  	as command interpreter.

2446c609719bSwdenkStandalone HOWTO:
2447c609719bSwdenk=================
2448c609719bSwdenk
2449c609719bSwdenkOne of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
2450c609719bSwdenkrun "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
2451c609719bSwdenkU-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
2452c609719bSwdenk
2453c609719bSwdenkTwo simple examples are included with the sources:
2454c609719bSwdenk

2458c609719bSwdenk'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
2459c609719bSwdenkapplication; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
2460c609719bSwdenkIt's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it

2487c609719bSwdenkAnother example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
2488c609719bSwdenkhandler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
2489c609719bSwdenkHere, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
2490c609719bSwdenkThe interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
2491c609719bSwdenkcharacter, but this is just a demo program. The application can be

2545c609719bSwdenkNetBSD Notes:
2546c609719bSwdenk=============
2547c609719bSwdenk
2548c609719bSwdenkStarting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
2549c609719bSwdenk(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
2550c609719bSwdenk
2551c609719bSwdenkBuilding requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
2552c609719bSwdenkNetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
2553c609719bSwdenkneed gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
2554c609719bSwdenkNote that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
2555c609719bSwdenkattempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
2556c609719bSwdenkmissing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
2557c609719bSwdenk
2558c609719bSwdenk	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
2559c609719bSwdenk	# mkdir powerpc
2560c609719bSwdenk	# ln -s powerpc machine
2561c609719bSwdenk	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
2562c609719bSwdenk	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
2563c609719bSwdenk
2564c609719bSwdenkNative builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
2565c609719bSwdenkand U-Boot include files.
2566c609719bSwdenk
2567c609719bSwdenkBooting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
2568c609719bSwdenkstage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
2569c609719bSwdenkproper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
2570c609719bSwdenktree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
2571c609719bSwdenkmeantime, send mail to bruno@exet-ag.de and/or wd@denx.de for
2572c609719bSwdenkdetails.

2575c609719bSwdenkImplementation Internals:
2576c609719bSwdenk=========================
2577c609719bSwdenk
2578c609719bSwdenkThe following is not intended to be a complete description of every
2579c609719bSwdenkimplementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
2580c609719bSwdenkinner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
2581c609719bSwdenkhardware.
2582c609719bSwdenk
2583c609719bSwdenk
2584c609719bSwdenkInitial Stack, Global Data:
2585c609719bSwdenk---------------------------
2586c609719bSwdenk
2587c609719bSwdenkThe implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
2588c609719bSwdenkstarts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
2589c609719bSwdenksystem RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
2590c609719bSwdenkThis means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
2591c609719bSwdenkis not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
2592c609719bSwdenkat all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
2593c609719bSwdenkoptions for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
2594c609719bSwdenkmodels provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
2595c609719bSwdenkMPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
2596c609719bSwdenklocked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

260443d9616cSwdenk	...
260543d9616cSwdenk
260643d9616cSwdenk	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
260743d9616cSwdenk	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
260843d9616cSwdenk	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
260943d9616cSwdenk	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
261043d9616cSwdenk	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
261143d9616cSwdenk	beyond the scope of this list to expain the details, but you
261243d9616cSwdenk	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
261343d9616cSwdenk	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
261443d9616cSwdenk
261543d9616cSwdenk	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
261643d9616cSwdenk	is another option for the system designer to use as an
261743d9616cSwdenk	initial stack/ram area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
261843d9616cSwdenk	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
261943d9616cSwdenk	board designers haven't used it for something that would
262043d9616cSwdenk	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
262143d9616cSwdenk	used.
262243d9616cSwdenk
262343d9616cSwdenk	CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
262443d9616cSwdenk	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
262543d9616cSwdenk	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
262643d9616cSwdenk	Walnut405.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
262743d9616cSwdenk	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
262843d9616cSwdenk	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
262943d9616cSwdenk	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
263043d9616cSwdenk	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
263143d9616cSwdenk	you get the config right.

263543d9616cSwdenk
2636c609719bSwdenkIt is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
2637c609719bSwdenkcode for the initialization procedures:
2638c609719bSwdenk
2639c609719bSwdenk* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
2640c609719bSwdenk  to write it.
2641c609719bSwdenk
2642c609719bSwdenk* Do not use any unitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
2643c609719bSwdenk  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
2644c609719bSwdenk  zation is performed later (when relocationg to RAM).
2645c609719bSwdenk
2646c609719bSwdenk* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things  like
2647c609719bSwdenk  that.
2648c609719bSwdenk
2649c609719bSwdenkHaving only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
2650c609719bSwdenknormal global data to share information beween the code. But it
2651c609719bSwdenkturned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
2652c609719bSwdenksimplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
2653c609719bSwdenkfunctions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
2654c609719bSwdenkfunctions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
2655c609719bSwdenkthe GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
2656c609719bSwdenkplace a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
2657c609719bSwdenkreserve for this purpose.
2658c609719bSwdenk
2659c609719bSwdenkWhen chosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted  by  the
2660c609719bSwdenkrelevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
2661c609719bSwdenkGCC's implementation.
2662c609719bSwdenk
2663c609719bSwdenkFor PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
2664c609719bSwdenk	R1:	stack pointer
2665c609719bSwdenk	R2:	TOC pointer
2666c609719bSwdenk	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
2667c609719bSwdenk	R5-R10:	parameter passing
2668c609719bSwdenk	R13:	small data area pointer
2669c609719bSwdenk	R30:	GOT pointer
2670c609719bSwdenk	R31:	frame pointer
2671c609719bSwdenk
2672c609719bSwdenk	(U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
2673c609719bSwdenk
2674c609719bSwdenk    ==> U-Boot will use R29 to hold a pointer to the global data
2675c609719bSwdenk
2676c609719bSwdenk    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
2677c609719bSwdenk    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
2678c609719bSwdenk    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
2679c609719bSwdenk    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
2680c609719bSwdenk    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
2681c609719bSwdenk    624 text + 127 data).
2682c609719bSwdenk
2683c609719bSwdenkOn ARM, the following registers are used:
2684c609719bSwdenk
2685c609719bSwdenk	R0:	function argument word/integer result
2686c609719bSwdenk	R1-R3:	function argument word
2687c609719bSwdenk	R9:	GOT pointer
2688c609719bSwdenk	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
2689c609719bSwdenk	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
2690c609719bSwdenk	R12:	temporary workspace
2691c609719bSwdenk	R13:	stack pointer
2692c609719bSwdenk	R14:	link register
2693c609719bSwdenk	R15:	program counter
2694c609719bSwdenk
2695c609719bSwdenk    ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
2696c609719bSwdenk
2697c609719bSwdenk
2698c609719bSwdenk
2699c609719bSwdenkMemory Management:
2700c609719bSwdenk------------------
2701c609719bSwdenk
2702c609719bSwdenkU-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
2703c609719bSwdenkMMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
2704c609719bSwdenk
2705c609719bSwdenkThe available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
2706c609719bSwdenkcontroller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
2707c609719bSwdenkmemory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
2708c609719bSwdenkphysical memory banks.
2709c609719bSwdenk
2710c609719bSwdenkU-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
2711c609719bSwdenkTQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
2712c609719bSwdenkbooting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
2713c609719bSwdenkto the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
2714c609719bSwdenkmemory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CFG_MALLOC_LEN
2715c609719bSwdenkconfiguration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
2716c609719bSwdenkInfo data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
2717c609719bSwdenk
2718c609719bSwdenkAdditionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
2719c609719bSwdenkof DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
2720c609719bSwdenk
2721c609719bSwdenkSo a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
2722c609719bSwdenkthis:
2723c609719bSwdenk
2724c609719bSwdenk	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
2725c609719bSwdenk	      :

2741c609719bSwdenk	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
2742c609719bSwdenk
2743c609719bSwdenk
2744c609719bSwdenkSystem Initialization:
2745c609719bSwdenk----------------------
2746c609719bSwdenk
2747c609719bSwdenkIn the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
2748c609719bSwdenk(on most PowerPC systens at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
2749c609719bSwdenkconfiguration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
2750c609719bSwdenkTo be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to it's link address.
2751c609719bSwdenkTo be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
2752c609719bSwdenkinitial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
2753c609719bSwdenkwhich provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
2754c609719bSwdenkpart of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
2755c609719bSwdenkthe caches and the SIU.

2757c609719bSwdenkNext, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
2758c609719bSwdenkpreliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
2759c609719bSwdenk(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
2760c609719bSwdenkon 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
2761c609719bSwdenkprogrammed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
2762c609719bSwdenksimple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
2763c609719bSwdenkbanks.
2764c609719bSwdenk
2765c609719bSwdenkWhen there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
2766c609719bSwdenkdifferent size, the larger is mapped first. For equal size, the first
2767c609719bSwdenkbank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
2768c609719bSwdenk0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
2769c609719bSwdenkcontiguous memory starting from 0.
2770c609719bSwdenk
2771c609719bSwdenkThen, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
2772c609719bSwdenkand allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
2773c609719bSwdenkInfo data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
2774c609719bSwdenkpages, and the final stack is set up.
2775c609719bSwdenk
2776c609719bSwdenkOnly after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
2777c609719bSwdenkuntil that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
2778c609719bSwdenkrunning from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
2779c609719bSwdenknew address in RAM.

2845c609719bSwdenkCoding Standards:
2846c609719bSwdenk-----------------
2847c609719bSwdenk
2848c609719bSwdenkAll contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
2849c609719bSwdenkcoding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" in your Linux
2850c609719bSwdenkkernel source directory.
2851c609719bSwdenk
2852c609719bSwdenkPlease note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts
2853c609719bSwdenkin Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style
2854c609719bSwdenkcomments (//) in your code.
2855c609719bSwdenk
2856c609719bSwdenkSubmissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
2857c609719bSwdenkwith a request to reformat the changes.

2860c609719bSwdenkSubmitting Patches:
2861c609719bSwdenk-------------------
2862c609719bSwdenk
2863c609719bSwdenkSince the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
2864c609719bSwdenkestablish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
2865c609719bSwdenkmay be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
2866c609719bSwdenk
2867c609719bSwdenk
2868c609719bSwdenkWhen you send a patch, please include the following information with
2869c609719bSwdenkit:
2870c609719bSwdenk
2871c609719bSwdenk* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
2872c609719bSwdenk  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
2873c609719bSwdenk  patch actually fixes something.
2874c609719bSwdenk
2875c609719bSwdenk* For new features: a description of the feature and your
2876c609719bSwdenk  implementation.
2877c609719bSwdenk
2878c609719bSwdenk* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
2879c609719bSwdenk
2880c609719bSwdenk* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
2881c609719bSwdenk
2882c609719bSwdenk* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
2883c609719bSwdenk  board to the MAKEALL script, too.
2884c609719bSwdenk
2885c609719bSwdenk* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
2886c609719bSwdenk  document these in the README file.
2887c609719bSwdenk
2888c609719bSwdenk* The patch itself. If you are accessing the CVS repository use "cvs
2889c609719bSwdenk  update; cvs diff -puRN"; else, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your
2890c609719bSwdenk  version of diff does not support these options, then get the latest
2891c609719bSwdenk  version of GNU diff.
2892c609719bSwdenk
2893c609719bSwdenk  We accept patches as plain text, MIME attachments or as uuencoded
2894c609719bSwdenk  gzipped text.
2895c609719bSwdenk
2896c609719bSwdenkNotes:
2897c609719bSwdenk
2898c609719bSwdenk* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
2899c609719bSwdenk  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
2900c609719bSwdenk  for any of the boards.
2901c609719bSwdenk
2902c609719bSwdenk* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
2903c609719bSwdenk  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
2904c609719bSwdenk  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
2905c609719bSwdenk
2906c609719bSwdenk* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
2907c609719bSwdenk  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
2908c609719bSwdenk  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
2909c609719bSwdenk  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
2910c609719bSwdenk  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
2911c609719bSwdenk  modification.
