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. 54c609719bSwdenk 55c609719bSwdenk 56c609719bSwdenkWhere to get help: 57c609719bSwdenk================== 58c609719bSwdenk 59c609719bSwdenkIn case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 60c609719bSwdenkU-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 61c609719bSwdenk<u-boot-users@lists.sourceforge.net>.

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". 11793f19cc0Swdenk 11893f19cc0Swdenk 119c609719bSwdenkDirectory Hierarchy:

usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 239c609719bSwdenkrationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 240c609719bSwdenk 241c609719bSwdenkThere are two classes of configuration variables: 242c609719bSwdenk 243c609719bSwdenk* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 244c609719bSwdenk These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 245c609719bSwdenk "CONFIG_". 246c609719bSwdenk 247c609719bSwdenk* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 248c609719bSwdenk These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 249c609719bSwdenk you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 250c609719bSwdenk "CFG_". 251c609719bSwdenk 252c609719bSwdenkLater we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 253c609719bSwdenkidentical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 254c609719bSwdenkdo the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 255c609719bSwdenklinks and editing some configuration files.

Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 896c609719bSwdenk feature in U-Boot. 897c609719bSwdenk 898c609719bSwdenk- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 899c609719bSwdenk 900c609719bSwdenk Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 901c609719bSwdenk on those systems that support this (optional) 902c609719bSwdenk feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 903c609719bSwdenk 904c609719bSwdenk- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 905c609719bSwdenk 906c609719bSwdenk Enables I2C serial bus commands. If this is selected, 907c609719bSwdenk either CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C must be defined 908c609719bSwdenk to include the appropriate I2C driver. 909c609719bSwdenk 910c609719bSwdenk See also: common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 911c609719bSwdenk command line interface. 912c609719bSwdenk 913c609719bSwdenk 914c609719bSwdenk CONFIG_HARD_I2C 915c609719bSwdenk 916c609719bSwdenk Selects the CPM hardware driver for I2C. 917c609719bSwdenk 918c609719bSwdenk CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 919c609719bSwdenk 920c609719bSwdenk Use software (aka bit-banging) driver instead of CPM 921c609719bSwdenk or similar hardware support for I2C.

The I/O port to use (the code 932c609719bSwdenk assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 933c609719bSwdenk are 0..3 for ports A..D. 934c609719bSwdenk 935c609719bSwdenk I2C_ACTIVE 936c609719bSwdenk 937c609719bSwdenk The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 938c609719bSwdenk (driven).

The data rate thus 966c609719bSwdenk is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). 967c609719bSwdenk 96847cd00faSwdenk CFG_I2C_INIT_BOARD 96947cd00faSwdenk 97047cd00faSwdenk When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 97147cd00faSwdenk chips might think that the current transfer is still 97247cd00faSwdenk in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 97347cd00faSwdenk the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 97447cd00faSwdenk processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 97547cd00faSwdenk connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 97647cd00faSwdenk custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 97747cd00faSwdenk is run early in the boot sequence. 97847cd00faSwdenk 979c609719bSwdenk- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 980c609719bSwdenk 981c609719bSwdenk Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 982c609719bSwdenk SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 983c609719bSwdenk D/As on the SACSng board) 984c609719bSwdenk 985c609719bSwdenk CONFIG_SPI_X 986c609719bSwdenk 987c609719bSwdenk Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 988c609719bSwdenk (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 989c609719bSwdenk 990c609719bSwdenk CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 991c609719bSwdenk 992c609719bSwdenk Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 993c609719bSwdenk using hardware support. This is a general purpose 994c609719bSwdenk driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 995c609719bSwdenk (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 996c609719bSwdenk defined, the board configuration must define several 997c609719bSwdenk SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc).

Once set, these variables are read-only, 1120c609719bSwdenk and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 1121c609719bSwdenk change this behviour: 1122c609719bSwdenk 1123c609719bSwdenk If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 1124c609719bSwdenk file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 112547cd00faSwdenk completely disabled.

This 1481c609719bSwdenk happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 1482c609719bSwdenk sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 1483c609719bSwdenk sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 1484c609719bSwdenk layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 1485c609719bSwdenk such a case you would place the environment in one of the 1486c609719bSwdenk 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 1487c609719bSwdenk "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 1488c609719bSwdenk environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 1489c609719bSwdenk between U-Boot and the environment. 1490c609719bSwdenk 1491c609719bSwdenk - CFG_ENV_OFFSET: 1492c609719bSwdenk 1493c609719bSwdenk Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 1494c609719bSwdenk beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 1495c609719bSwdenk type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 1496c609719bSwdenk for this sector is given here. 1497c609719bSwdenk 1498c609719bSwdenk CFG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CFG_FLASH_BASE. 1499c609719bSwdenk 1500c609719bSwdenk - CFG_ENV_ADDR: 1501c609719bSwdenk 1502c609719bSwdenk This is just another way to specify the start address of 1503c609719bSwdenk the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 1504c609719bSwdenk CFG_ENV_OFFSET). 1505c609719bSwdenk 1506c609719bSwdenk - CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 1507c609719bSwdenk 1508c609719bSwdenk Size of the sector containing the environment. 1509c609719bSwdenk 1510c609719bSwdenk 1511c609719bSwdenk b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 1512c609719bSwdenk In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 1513c609719bSwdenk the environment. 1514c609719bSwdenk 1515c609719bSwdenk - CFG_ENV_SIZE: 1516c609719bSwdenk 1517c609719bSwdenk If you use this in combination with CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 1518c609719bSwdenk and CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 1519c609719bSwdenk of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 1520c609719bSwdenk memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 1521c609719bSwdenk 1522c609719bSwdenk It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 1523c609719bSwdenk when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 1524c609719bSwdenk since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 1525c609719bSwdenk for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 1526c609719bSwdenk STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 1527c609719bSwdenk updating the environment in flash makes it always 1528c609719bSwdenk necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 1529c609719bSwdenk wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 1530c609719bSwdenk RAM, your target system will be dead. 1531c609719bSwdenk 1532c609719bSwdenk - CFG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 1533c609719bSwdenk CFG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 1534c609719bSwdenk 1535c609719bSwdenk These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 1536c609719bSwdenk a redundand copy of the environment data, so that there is 15373e38691eSwdenk a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 1538c609719bSwdenk a "saveenv" operation. 1539c609719bSwdenk 1540c609719bSwdenkBE CAREFUL!

The 1605c609719bSwdenk area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 1606c609719bSwdenk is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 1607c609719bSwdenk scratch DPRAM area.

A value of 0xB00 seems 1609c609719bSwdenk to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 1610c609719bSwdenk start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 1611c609719bSwdenk 1612c609719bSwdenkPlease note that the environment is read-only as long as the monitor 1613c609719bSwdenkhas been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 1614c609719bSwdenkcreated; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r() 1615c609719bSwdenkuntil then to read environment variables. 1616c609719bSwdenk 161785ec0bccSwdenkThe environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum.

To do this, follow these 1860c609719bSwdenksteps: 1861c609719bSwdenk 1862c609719bSwdenk1. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 186385ec0bccSwdenk "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing 186485ec0bccSwdenk entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places 186585ec0bccSwdenk boards and other names are listed alphabetically sorted. Please 186685ec0bccSwdenk keep this order. 1867c609719bSwdenk2. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 186885ec0bccSwdenk files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 186985ec0bccSwdenk the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 187085ec0bccSwdenk3. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 187185ec0bccSwdenk your board 1872c609719bSwdenk3. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 1873c609719bSwdenk directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 187485ec0bccSwdenk4. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 1875c609719bSwdenk5. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 1876c609719bSwdenk to be installed on your target system. 187785ec0bccSwdenk6. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 1878c609719bSwdenk [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 1879c609719bSwdenk 1880c609719bSwdenk 1881c609719bSwdenkTesting of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 1882c609719bSwdenk============================================================== 1883c609719bSwdenk 1884c609719bSwdenkIf you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 1885c609719bSwdenkor support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 1886c609719bSwdenkprovide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 1887c609719bSwdenkthe form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 1888c609719bSwdenkofficial or latest in CVS) version of U-Boot sources. 1889c609719bSwdenk 1890c609719bSwdenkBut before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 1891c609719bSwdenkcation did not break existing code.

Also, any 2204c609719bSwdenk"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 2205c609719bSwdenkinstead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 2206c609719bSwdenkserves serveral purposes: 2207c609719bSwdenk 2208c609719bSwdenk- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 2209c609719bSwdenk applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 2210c609719bSwdenk Flash memory footprint) 2211c609719bSwdenk 2212c609719bSwdenk- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 2213c609719bSwdenk lots of low-level, hardware dependend stuff are done by U-Boot 2214c609719bSwdenk 2215c609719bSwdenk- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 2216c609719bSwdenk images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 2217c609719bSwdenk be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 2218c609719bSwdenk have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 2219c609719bSwdenk change a file in your "initrd").

If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 225524ee89b9Swdenk"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 225624ee89b9SwdenkU-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 225724ee89b9Swdenkwhich was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 225824ee89b9Swdenk100% compatible format. 2259c609719bSwdenk 2260c609719bSwdenkExample: 2261c609719bSwdenk 2262c609719bSwdenk make TQM850L_config 2263c609719bSwdenk make oldconfig 2264c609719bSwdenk make dep 226524ee89b9Swdenk make uImage 2266c609719bSwdenk 226724ee89b9SwdenkThe "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 226824ee89b9Swdenkencapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 226924ee89b9SwdenkCRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot.

"mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 229324ee89b9Swdenkbyte header containing information about target architecture, 229424ee89b9Swdenkoperating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 229524ee89b9Swdenkstamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 229624ee89b9Swdenk 229724ee89b9Swdenk"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 229824ee89b9Swdenkprint the header information, or to build new images. 2299c609719bSwdenk 2300c609719bSwdenkIn the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 2301c609719bSwdenkcontained in the header of an existing U-Boot image;

This construct is useful for instance when you want 25346069ff26Swdenk to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 25356069ff26Swdenk server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 25366069ff26Swdenk for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 25376069ff26Swdenk 25386069ff26Swdenk "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 25396069ff26Swdenk image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 25406069ff26Swdenk byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 25416069ff26Swdenk Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 25426069ff26Swdenk one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 25436069ff26Swdenk a multiple of 4 bytes). 25446069ff26Swdenk 25456069ff26Swdenk "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 25466069ff26Swdenk U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 25476069ff26Swdenk flash memory. 25486069ff26Swdenk 25496069ff26Swdenk "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 25506069ff26Swdenk U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 25516069ff26Swdenk useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 25526069ff26Swdenk as command interpreter. 25536069ff26Swdenk 2554c609719bSwdenk 2555c609719bSwdenkStandalone HOWTO: 2556c609719bSwdenk================= 2557c609719bSwdenk 2558c609719bSwdenkOne of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 2559c609719bSwdenkrun "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 2560c609719bSwdenkU-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 2561c609719bSwdenk 2562c609719bSwdenkTwo simple examples are included with the sources: 2563c609719bSwdenk 2564c609719bSwdenk"Hello World" Demo: 2565c609719bSwdenk------------------- 2566c609719bSwdenk 2567c609719bSwdenk'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 2568c609719bSwdenkapplication; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 2569c609719bSwdenkIt's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 2570c609719bSwdenklike that: 2571c609719bSwdenk 2572c609719bSwdenk => loads 2573c609719bSwdenk ## Ready for S-Record download ... 2574c609719bSwdenk ~>examples/hello_world.srec 2575c609719bSwdenk 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 2576c609719bSwdenk [file transfer complete] 2577c609719bSwdenk [connected] 2578c609719bSwdenk ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 2579c609719bSwdenk 2580c609719bSwdenk => go 40004 Hello World!

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 2674c609719bSwdenk 2675c609719bSwdenk # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 2676c609719bSwdenk # mkdir powerpc 2677c609719bSwdenk # ln -s powerpc machine 2678c609719bSwdenk # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 2679c609719bSwdenk # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 2680c609719bSwdenk 2681c609719bSwdenkNative builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 2682c609719bSwdenkand U-Boot include files. 2683c609719bSwdenk 2684c609719bSwdenkBooting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 2685c609719bSwdenkstage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 2686c609719bSwdenkproper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 2687c609719bSwdenktree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 2688c609719bSwdenkmeantime, send mail to bruno@exet-ag.de and/or wd@denx.de for 2689c609719bSwdenkdetails. 2690c609719bSwdenk 2691c609719bSwdenk 2692c609719bSwdenkImplementation Internals: 2693c609719bSwdenk========================= 2694c609719bSwdenk 2695c609719bSwdenkThe following is not intended to be a complete description of every 2696c609719bSwdenkimplementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 2697c609719bSwdenkinner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 2698c609719bSwdenkhardware. 2699c609719bSwdenk 2700c609719bSwdenk 2701c609719bSwdenkInitial Stack, Global Data: 2702c609719bSwdenk--------------------------- 2703c609719bSwdenk 2704c609719bSwdenkThe implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 2705c609719bSwdenkstarts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 2706c609719bSwdenksystem RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 2707c609719bSwdenkThis means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 2708c609719bSwdenkis not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 2709c609719bSwdenkat all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 2710c609719bSwdenkoptions for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 2711c609719bSwdenkmodels provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 2712c609719bSwdenkMPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 2713c609719bSwdenklocked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 2714c609719bSwdenk 271543d9616cSwdenk Chris Hallinan posted a good summy of these issues to the 271643d9616cSwdenk u-boot-users mailing list: 271743d9616cSwdenk 271843d9616cSwdenk Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 271943d9616cSwdenk From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 272043d9616cSwdenk Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 272143d9616cSwdenk ... 272243d9616cSwdenk 272343d9616cSwdenk Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 272443d9616cSwdenk is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 272543d9616cSwdenk require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 272643d9616cSwdenk is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 272743d9616cSwdenk necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 272843d9616cSwdenk beyond the scope of this list to expain the details, but you 272943d9616cSwdenk can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 273043d9616cSwdenk operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 273143d9616cSwdenk 273243d9616cSwdenk OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 273343d9616cSwdenk is another option for the system designer to use as an 273443d9616cSwdenk initial stack/ram area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 273543d9616cSwdenk option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 273643d9616cSwdenk board designers haven't used it for something that would 273743d9616cSwdenk cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 273843d9616cSwdenk used. 273943d9616cSwdenk 274043d9616cSwdenk CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 274143d9616cSwdenk with your processor/board/system design. The default value 274243d9616cSwdenk you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 274343d9616cSwdenk Walnut405.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 274443d9616cSwdenk than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 274543d9616cSwdenk it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 274643d9616cSwdenk that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 274743d9616cSwdenk start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 274843d9616cSwdenk you get the config right. 274943d9616cSwdenk 275043d9616cSwdenk -Chris Hallinan 275143d9616cSwdenk DS4.COM, Inc. 275243d9616cSwdenk 2753c609719bSwdenkIt is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 2754c609719bSwdenkcode for the initialization procedures: 2755c609719bSwdenk 2756c609719bSwdenk* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 2757c609719bSwdenk to write it. 2758c609719bSwdenk 2759c609719bSwdenk* Do not use any unitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 2760c609719bSwdenk as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 2761c609719bSwdenk zation is performed later (when relocationg to RAM). 2762c609719bSwdenk 2763c609719bSwdenk* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 2764c609719bSwdenk that. 2765c609719bSwdenk 2766c609719bSwdenkHaving only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 2767c609719bSwdenknormal global data to share information beween the code. But it 2768c609719bSwdenkturned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 2769c609719bSwdenksimplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 2770c609719bSwdenkfunctions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 2771c609719bSwdenkfunctions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 2772c609719bSwdenkthe GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 2773c609719bSwdenkplace a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 2774c609719bSwdenkreserve for this purpose. 2775c609719bSwdenk 2776c609719bSwdenkWhen chosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 2777c609719bSwdenkrelevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 2778c609719bSwdenkGCC's implementation. 2779c609719bSwdenk 2780c609719bSwdenkFor PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 2781c609719bSwdenk R1: stack pointer 2782c609719bSwdenk R2: TOC pointer 2783c609719bSwdenk R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 2784c609719bSwdenk R5-R10: parameter passing 2785c609719bSwdenk R13: small data area pointer 2786c609719bSwdenk R30: GOT pointer 2787c609719bSwdenk R31: frame pointer 2788c609719bSwdenk 2789c609719bSwdenk (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.) 2790c609719bSwdenk 2791c609719bSwdenk ==> U-Boot will use R29 to hold a pointer to the global data 2792c609719bSwdenk 2793c609719bSwdenk Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 2794c609719bSwdenk address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 2795c609719bSwdenk but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 2796c609719bSwdenk smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 2797c609719bSwdenk average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 2798c609719bSwdenk 624 text + 127 data). 2799c609719bSwdenk 2800c609719bSwdenkOn ARM, the following registers are used: 2801c609719bSwdenk 2802c609719bSwdenk R0: function argument word/integer result 2803c609719bSwdenk R1-R3: function argument word 2804c609719bSwdenk R9: GOT pointer 2805c609719bSwdenk R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 2806c609719bSwdenk R11: argument (frame) pointer 2807c609719bSwdenk R12: temporary workspace 2808c609719bSwdenk R13: stack pointer 2809c609719bSwdenk R14: link register 2810c609719bSwdenk R15: program counter 2811c609719bSwdenk 2812c609719bSwdenk ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 2813c609719bSwdenk 2814c609719bSwdenk 2815c609719bSwdenk 2816c609719bSwdenkMemory Management: 2817c609719bSwdenk------------------ 2818c609719bSwdenk 2819c609719bSwdenkU-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 2820c609719bSwdenkMMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 2821c609719bSwdenk 2822c609719bSwdenkThe available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 2823c609719bSwdenkcontroller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 2824c609719bSwdenkmemory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 2825c609719bSwdenkphysical memory banks. 2826c609719bSwdenk 2827c609719bSwdenkU-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 2828c609719bSwdenkTQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 2829c609719bSwdenkbooting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 2830c609719bSwdenkto the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 2831c609719bSwdenkmemory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CFG_MALLOC_LEN 2832c609719bSwdenkconfiguration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 2833c609719bSwdenkInfo data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 2834c609719bSwdenk 2835c609719bSwdenkAdditionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 2836c609719bSwdenkof DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 2837c609719bSwdenk 2838c609719bSwdenkSo a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 2839c609719bSwdenkthis: 2840c609719bSwdenk 2841c609719bSwdenk 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 2842c609719bSwdenk : 2843c609719bSwdenk 0x0000 1FFF 2844c609719bSwdenk 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 2845c609719bSwdenk : 2846c609719bSwdenk : 2847c609719bSwdenk 2848c609719bSwdenk : 2849c609719bSwdenk : 2850c609719bSwdenk 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 2851c609719bSwdenk 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 2852c609719bSwdenk 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 2853c609719bSwdenk : 2854c609719bSwdenk 0x00FD FFFF 2855c609719bSwdenk 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 2856c609719bSwdenk ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 2857c609719bSwdenk ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 2858c609719bSwdenk 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 2859c609719bSwdenk 2860c609719bSwdenk 2861c609719bSwdenkSystem Initialization: 2862c609719bSwdenk---------------------- 2863c609719bSwdenk 2864c609719bSwdenkIn the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 2865c609719bSwdenk(on most PowerPC systens at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 2866c609719bSwdenkconfiguration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 2867c609719bSwdenkTo be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to it's link address. 2868c609719bSwdenkTo be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 2869c609719bSwdenkinitial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 2870c609719bSwdenkwhich provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 2871c609719bSwdenkpart of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 2872c609719bSwdenkthe caches and the SIU. 2873c609719bSwdenk 2874c609719bSwdenkNext, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 2875c609719bSwdenkpreliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 2876c609719bSwdenk(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 2877c609719bSwdenkon 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 2878c609719bSwdenkprogrammed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 2879c609719bSwdenksimple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 2880c609719bSwdenkbanks. 2881c609719bSwdenk 2882c609719bSwdenkWhen there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 2883c609719bSwdenkdifferent size, the larger is mapped first. For equal size, the first 2884c609719bSwdenkbank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 2885c609719bSwdenk0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 2886c609719bSwdenkcontiguous memory starting from 0. 2887c609719bSwdenk 2888c609719bSwdenkThen, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 2889c609719bSwdenkand allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 2890c609719bSwdenkInfo data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 2891c609719bSwdenkpages, and the final stack is set up. 2892c609719bSwdenk 2893c609719bSwdenkOnly after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 2894c609719bSwdenkuntil that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 2895c609719bSwdenkrunning from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 2896c609719bSwdenknew address in RAM. 2897c609719bSwdenk 2898c609719bSwdenk 2899c609719bSwdenkU-Boot Porting Guide: 2900c609719bSwdenk---------------------- 2901c609719bSwdenk 2902c609719bSwdenk[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 29036aff3115Swdenklist, October 2002] 2904c609719bSwdenk 2905c609719bSwdenk 2906c609719bSwdenkint main (int argc, char *argv[]) 2907c609719bSwdenk{ 2908c609719bSwdenk sighandler_t no_more_time; 2909c609719bSwdenk 2910c609719bSwdenk signal (SIGALRM, no_more_time); 2911c609719bSwdenk alarm (PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 2912c609719bSwdenk 2913c609719bSwdenk if (available_money > available_manpower) { 2914c609719bSwdenk pay consultant to port U-Boot; 2915c609719bSwdenk return 0; 2916c609719bSwdenk } 2917c609719bSwdenk 2918c609719bSwdenk Download latest U-Boot source; 2919c609719bSwdenk 29206aff3115Swdenk Subscribe to u-boot-users mailing list; 29216aff3115Swdenk 2922c609719bSwdenk if (clueless) { 2923c609719bSwdenk email ("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 2924c609719bSwdenk } 2925c609719bSwdenk 2926c609719bSwdenk while (learning) { 2927c609719bSwdenk Read the README file in the top level directory; 2928c609719bSwdenk Read http://www.denx.de/re/DPLG.html 2929c609719bSwdenk Read the source, Luke; 2930c609719bSwdenk } 2931c609719bSwdenk 2932c609719bSwdenk if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) { 2933c609719bSwdenk Buy a BDI2000; 2934c609719bSwdenk } else { 2935c609719bSwdenk Add a lot of aggravation and time; 2936c609719bSwdenk } 2937c609719bSwdenk 2938c609719bSwdenk Create your own board support subdirectory; 2939c609719bSwdenk 29406aff3115Swdenk Create your own board config file; 29416aff3115Swdenk 2942c609719bSwdenk while (!running) { 2943c609719bSwdenk do { 2944c609719bSwdenk Add / modify source code; 2945c609719bSwdenk } until (compiles); 2946c609719bSwdenk Debug; 2947c609719bSwdenk if (clueless) 2948c609719bSwdenk email ("Hi, I am having problems..."); 2949c609719bSwdenk } 2950c609719bSwdenk Send patch file to Wolfgang; 2951c609719bSwdenk 2952c609719bSwdenk return 0; 2953c609719bSwdenk} 2954c609719bSwdenk 2955c609719bSwdenkvoid no_more_time (int sig) 2956c609719bSwdenk{ 2957c609719bSwdenk hire_a_guru(); 2958c609719bSwdenk} 2959c609719bSwdenk 2960c609719bSwdenk 2961c609719bSwdenk 2962c609719bSwdenkCoding Standards: 2963c609719bSwdenk----------------- 2964c609719bSwdenk 2965c609719bSwdenkAll contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 2966c609719bSwdenkcoding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" in your Linux 2967c609719bSwdenkkernel source directory. 2968c609719bSwdenk 2969c609719bSwdenkPlease note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts 2970c609719bSwdenkin Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style 2971c609719bSwdenkcomments (//) in your code. 2972c609719bSwdenk 2973c609719bSwdenkSubmissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 2974c609719bSwdenkwith a request to reformat the changes. 2975c609719bSwdenk 2976c609719bSwdenk 2977c609719bSwdenkSubmitting Patches: 2978c609719bSwdenk------------------- 2979c609719bSwdenk 2980c609719bSwdenkSince the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 2981c609719bSwdenkestablish some rules.
