24c609719bSwdenkSummary:
25c609719bSwdenk========
26c609719bSwdenk
2724ee89b9SwdenkThis directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
28e86e5a07SwdenkEmbedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29e86e5a07Swdenkprocessors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30e86e5a07Swdenkinitialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31e86e5a07Swdenkcode.
32c609719bSwdenk
33c609719bSwdenkThe development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
3424ee89b9Swdenkthe source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
3524ee89b9Swdenkheader files in common, and special provision has been made to
36c609719bSwdenksupport booting of Linux images.
37c609719bSwdenk
38c609719bSwdenkSome attention has been paid to make this software easily
39c609719bSwdenkconfigurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40c609719bSwdenkimplemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41c609719bSwdenkadd new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42c609719bSwdenkcode (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43c609719bSwdenkload and run it dynamically.

46c609719bSwdenkStatus:
47c609719bSwdenk=======
48c609719bSwdenk
49c609719bSwdenkIn general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
50c609719bSwdenkMakefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
51c609719bSwdenk"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

12693f19cc0SwdenkVersioning:
12793f19cc0Swdenk===========
12893f19cc0Swdenk
12993f19cc0SwdenkU-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a
13093f19cc0Swdenksub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2",
13193f19cc0Swdenksub-version "34", and patchlevel "4".
13293f19cc0Swdenk
13393f19cc0SwdenkThe patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development
13493f19cc0Swdenkbetween released versions, i. e. officially released versions of
13593f19cc0SwdenkU-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0".

194c609719bSwdenk
195c609719bSwdenkSoftware Configuration:
196c609719bSwdenk=======================
197c609719bSwdenk
198c609719bSwdenkConfiguration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
199c609719bSwdenkrationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
200c609719bSwdenk
201c609719bSwdenkThere are two classes of configuration variables:
202c609719bSwdenk
203c609719bSwdenk* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
204c609719bSwdenk  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
205c609719bSwdenk  "CONFIG_".
206c609719bSwdenk
207c609719bSwdenk* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
208c609719bSwdenk  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
209c609719bSwdenk  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
210c609719bSwdenk  "CFG_".
211c609719bSwdenk
212c609719bSwdenkLater we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
213c609719bSwdenkidentical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
214c609719bSwdenkdo the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
215c609719bSwdenklinks and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
216c609719bSwdenkas an example here.
217c609719bSwdenk
218c609719bSwdenk
219c609719bSwdenkSelection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
220c609719bSwdenk---------------------------------------------------
221c609719bSwdenk
222c609719bSwdenkFor all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
223c609719bSwdenkconfigurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
224c609719bSwdenk
225c609719bSwdenkExample: For a TQM823L module type:
226c609719bSwdenk
227c609719bSwdenk	cd u-boot
228c609719bSwdenk	make TQM823L_config
229c609719bSwdenk
230c609719bSwdenkFor the Cogent platform, you need to specify the cpu type as well;
231c609719bSwdenke.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
232c609719bSwdenkdirectory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
233c609719bSwdenk
234c609719bSwdenk
235c609719bSwdenkConfiguration Options:
236c609719bSwdenk----------------------
237c609719bSwdenk
238c609719bSwdenkConfiguration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
239c609719bSwdenksuch information is kept in a configuration file
240c609719bSwdenk"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
241c609719bSwdenk
242c609719bSwdenkExample: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
243c609719bSwdenk"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
244c609719bSwdenk
245c609719bSwdenk
2467f6c2cbcSwdenkMany of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
2477f6c2cbcSwdenkkernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
2487f6c2cbcSwdenkbuild a config tool - later.
2497f6c2cbcSwdenk
2507f6c2cbcSwdenk
251c609719bSwdenkThe following options need to be configured:

3305da627a4Swdenk- Linux Kernel Interface:
331c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
332c609719bSwdenk
333c609719bSwdenk		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
334c609719bSwdenk		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
335c609719bSwdenk		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
336c609719bSwdenk		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
337c609719bSwdenk		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
338c609719bSwdenk		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
339c609719bSwdenk		Linux kernel.
340c609719bSwdenk		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
341c609719bSwdenk		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
342c609719bSwdenk		default environment.

524c609719bSwdenk		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
525c609719bSwdenk
526c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
527c609719bSwdenk		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
528c609719bSwdenk		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
529c609719bSwdenk		environment value "bootargs".
530c609719bSwdenk
531c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
532c609719bSwdenk		The value of these goes into the environment as
533c609719bSwdenk		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
534c609719bSwdenk		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
535c609719bSwdenk		ram and nfs.
536c609719bSwdenk
537c609719bSwdenk- Pre-Boot Commands:
538c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_PREBOOT
539c609719bSwdenk
540c609719bSwdenk		When this option is #defined, the existence of the

542c609719bSwdenk		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
543c609719bSwdenk		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
544c609719bSwdenk		entering interactive mode.
545c609719bSwdenk
546c609719bSwdenk		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
547c609719bSwdenk		automatically generated or modified. For an example
548c609719bSwdenk		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
549c609719bSwdenk		modified when the user holds down a certain
550c609719bSwdenk		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
551c609719bSwdenk		booting the systems
552c609719bSwdenk
553c609719bSwdenk- Serial Download Echo Mode:
554c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
555c609719bSwdenk		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
556c609719bSwdenk		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
557c609719bSwdenk		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
558c609719bSwdenk		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
559c609719bSwdenk		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
560c609719bSwdenk		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
561c609719bSwdenk
562602ad3b3SJon Loeliger- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)

10137152b1d0Swdenk- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1014d791b1dcSwdenk
1015d791b1dcSwdenk		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1016d791b1dcSwdenk		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1017d791b1dcSwdenk		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1018e94d2cd9Swdenk		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1019d791b1dcSwdenk		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1020d791b1dcSwdenk		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1021d791b1dcSwdenk		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1022d791b1dcSwdenk		loaded very quickly after power-on.

1035c29fdfc1Swdenk		compressed images are supported.
1036c29fdfc1Swdenk
1037c29fdfc1Swdenk		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1038c29fdfc1Swdenk		the malloc area (as defined by CFG_MALLOC_LEN) should
1039c29fdfc1Swdenk		be at least 4MB.

105417ea1177Swdenk
105517ea1177Swdenk		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
105617ea1177Swdenk
105717ea1177Swdenk		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
105817ea1177Swdenk		reset before any MII register access is possible.
105917ea1177Swdenk		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay

1070c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
1071c609719bSwdenk
1072c609719bSwdenk		Define a default value for ethernet address to use
1073c609719bSwdenk		for the respective ethernet interface, in case this
1074c609719bSwdenk		is not determined automatically.
1075c609719bSwdenk
1076c609719bSwdenk- IP address:
1077c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_IPADDR
1078c609719bSwdenk
1079c609719bSwdenk		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1080c609719bSwdenk		the default ethernet interface, in case this is not
1081c609719bSwdenk		determined through e.g. bootp.

1084c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1085c609719bSwdenk
1086c609719bSwdenk		Defines a default value for theIP address of a TFTP

108953a5c424SDavid Updegraff- Multicast TFTP Mode:
109053a5c424SDavid Updegraff		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
109153a5c424SDavid Updegraff
109253a5c424SDavid Updegraff		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
109353a5c424SDavid Updegraff		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
109453a5c424SDavid Updegraff		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the ethernet
109553a5c424SDavid Updegraff		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
109653a5c424SDavid Updegraff		multicast group.
109753a5c424SDavid Updegraff
109853a5c424SDavid Updegraff		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1099c609719bSwdenk- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1100c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1101c609719bSwdenk
1102c609719bSwdenk		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1103c609719bSwdenk		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1104c609719bSwdenk		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1105c609719bSwdenk		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1106c609719bSwdenk		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1107c609719bSwdenk		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1108c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1109c609719bSwdenk		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
11106c33c785SWolfgang Denk		following delays are inserted then:
1111c609719bSwdenk
1112c609719bSwdenk		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1113c609719bSwdenk		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1114c609719bSwdenk		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1115c609719bSwdenk		4th and following
1116c609719bSwdenk		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1117c609719bSwdenk
1118fe389a82Sstroese- DHCP Advanced Options:
11191fe80d79SJon Loeliger		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
11201fe80d79SJon Loeliger		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1121fe389a82Sstroese
11221fe80d79SJon Loeliger		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
11231fe80d79SJon Loeliger		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY

11321fe80d79SJon Loeliger		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
11331fe80d79SJon Loeliger		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1134fe389a82Sstroese
11355d110f0aSWilson Callan		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
11365d110f0aSWilson Callan		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1137fe389a82Sstroese
1138fe389a82Sstroese		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1139fe389a82Sstroese		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1140fe389a82Sstroese		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1141fe389a82Sstroese		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1142fe389a82Sstroese		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1143fe389a82Sstroese		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1144fe389a82Sstroese		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
11451fe80d79SJon Loeliger		is defined.
1146fe389a82Sstroese
1147fe389a82Sstroese		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1148fe389a82Sstroese		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1149fe389a82Sstroese		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
11505d110f0aSWilson Callan		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
11511fe80d79SJon Loeliger		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
11521fe80d79SJon Loeliger		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1153fe389a82Sstroese
1154*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1155*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas
1156*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1157*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1158*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1159*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1160*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1161*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1162*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1163*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1164*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1165*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1166*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas		this delay.
1167*d9a2f416SAras Vaichas
1168a3d991bdSwdenk - CDP Options:
1169a3d991bdSwdenk		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1170a3d991bdSwdenk
1171a3d991bdSwdenk		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1172a3d991bdSwdenk
1173a3d991bdSwdenk		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1174a3d991bdSwdenk
1175a3d991bdSwdenk		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1176a3d991bdSwdenk		of the device.
1177a3d991bdSwdenk
1178a3d991bdSwdenk		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1179a3d991bdSwdenk
1180a3d991bdSwdenk		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1181a3d991bdSwdenk		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1182a3d991bdSwdenk		eth0 for the first ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1183a3d991bdSwdenk
1184a3d991bdSwdenk		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1185a3d991bdSwdenk
1186a3d991bdSwdenk		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1187a3d991bdSwdenk		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1188a3d991bdSwdenk

1192a3d991bdSwdenk
1193a3d991bdSwdenk		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1194a3d991bdSwdenk
1195a3d991bdSwdenk		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1196a3d991bdSwdenk
1197a3d991bdSwdenk		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1198a3d991bdSwdenk
1199a3d991bdSwdenk		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1200a3d991bdSwdenk
1201a3d991bdSwdenk		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1202a3d991bdSwdenk
1203a3d991bdSwdenk		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1204a3d991bdSwdenk		device in .1 of milliwatts.
1205a3d991bdSwdenk
1206a3d991bdSwdenk		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1207a3d991bdSwdenk
1208a3d991bdSwdenk		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1209a3d991bdSwdenk
1210c609719bSwdenk- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1211c609719bSwdenk
1212c609719bSwdenk		Several configurations allow to display the current
1213c609719bSwdenk		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1214c609719bSwdenk		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1215c609719bSwdenk		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1216c609719bSwdenk		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1217c609719bSwdenk		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1218c609719bSwdenk		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1219c609719bSwdenk		feature in U-Boot.
1220c609719bSwdenk
1221c609719bSwdenk- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1222c609719bSwdenk
1223c609719bSwdenk		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1224c609719bSwdenk		on those systems that support this (optional)
1225c609719bSwdenk		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1226c609719bSwdenk
1227c609719bSwdenk- I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1228c609719bSwdenk
1229b37c7e5eSwdenk		These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
1230b37c7e5eSwdenk		(but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
1231b37c7e5eSwdenk		include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected cpu.
1232c609719bSwdenk
1233b37c7e5eSwdenk		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
1234602ad3b3SJon Loeliger		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
1235b37c7e5eSwdenk		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1236b37c7e5eSwdenk		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
1237c609719bSwdenk		command line interface.
1238c609719bSwdenk
1239bb99ad6dSBen Warren		CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE is a recommended option that places
1240bb99ad6dSBen Warren		all I2C commands under a single 'i2c' root command.  The
1241bb99ad6dSBen Warren		older 'imm', 'imd', 'iprobe' etc. commands are considered
1242bb99ad6dSBen Warren		deprecated and may disappear in the future.
1243bb99ad6dSBen Warren
1244bb99ad6dSBen Warren		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
1245c609719bSwdenk
1246b37c7e5eSwdenk		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
1247b37c7e5eSwdenk		bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1248b37c7e5eSwdenk		support for I2C.
1249c609719bSwdenk
1250b37c7e5eSwdenk		There are several other quantities that must also be
1251b37c7e5eSwdenk		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
1252c609719bSwdenk
1253b37c7e5eSwdenk		In both cases you will need to define CFG_I2C_SPEED
1254b37c7e5eSwdenk		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
1255b37c7e5eSwdenk		to run and CFG_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
1256b37c7e5eSwdenk		the cpu's i2c node address).
1257c609719bSwdenk
1258b37c7e5eSwdenk		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c)
1259b37c7e5eSwdenk		sets the cpu up as a master node and so its address should
1260b37c7e5eSwdenk		therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual
1261b37c7e5eSwdenk		p.16-473). So, set CFG_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
1262b37c7e5eSwdenk
1263b37c7e5eSwdenk		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
1264b37c7e5eSwdenk
1265b37c7e5eSwdenk		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1266b37c7e5eSwdenk		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1267b37c7e5eSwdenk		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
1268c609719bSwdenk
1269c609719bSwdenk		I2C_INIT
1270c609719bSwdenk
1271b37c7e5eSwdenk		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
1272c609719bSwdenk		controller or configure ports.
1273c609719bSwdenk
1274b37c7e5eSwdenk		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
1275b37c7e5eSwdenk
1276c609719bSwdenk		I2C_PORT
1277c609719bSwdenk
1278c609719bSwdenk		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1279c609719bSwdenk		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1280c609719bSwdenk		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
1281c609719bSwdenk
1282c609719bSwdenk		I2C_ACTIVE
1283c609719bSwdenk
1284c609719bSwdenk		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1285c609719bSwdenk		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
1286c609719bSwdenk		define can be null.
1287c609719bSwdenk
1288b37c7e5eSwdenk		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
1289b37c7e5eSwdenk
1290c609719bSwdenk		I2C_TRISTATE
1291c609719bSwdenk
1292c609719bSwdenk		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1293c609719bSwdenk		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
1294c609719bSwdenk		define can be null.
1295c609719bSwdenk
1296b37c7e5eSwdenk		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1297b37c7e5eSwdenk
1298c609719bSwdenk		I2C_READ
1299c609719bSwdenk
1300c609719bSwdenk		Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1301c609719bSwdenk		FALSE if it is low.
1302c609719bSwdenk
1303b37c7e5eSwdenk		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1304b37c7e5eSwdenk
1305c609719bSwdenk		I2C_SDA(bit)
1306c609719bSwdenk
1307c609719bSwdenk		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1308c609719bSwdenk		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1309c609719bSwdenk
1310b37c7e5eSwdenk		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
1311b37c7e5eSwdenk			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
1312b37c7e5eSwdenk			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
1313b37c7e5eSwdenk
1314c609719bSwdenk		I2C_SCL(bit)
1315c609719bSwdenk
1316c609719bSwdenk		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1317c609719bSwdenk		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1318c609719bSwdenk
1319b37c7e5eSwdenk		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
1320b37c7e5eSwdenk			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
1321b37c7e5eSwdenk			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
1322b37c7e5eSwdenk
1323c609719bSwdenk		I2C_DELAY
1324c609719bSwdenk
1325c609719bSwdenk		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1326c609719bSwdenk		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
1327b37c7e5eSwdenk		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
1328b37c7e5eSwdenk		like:
1329b37c7e5eSwdenk
1330b37c7e5eSwdenk		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
1331c609719bSwdenk
133247cd00faSwdenk		CFG_I2C_INIT_BOARD
133347cd00faSwdenk
133447cd00faSwdenk		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
133547cd00faSwdenk		chips might think that the current transfer is still
133647cd00faSwdenk		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
133747cd00faSwdenk		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
133847cd00faSwdenk		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
133947cd00faSwdenk		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
134047cd00faSwdenk		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
134147cd00faSwdenk		is run early in the boot sequence.
134247cd00faSwdenk
134317ea1177Swdenk		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
134417ea1177Swdenk
134517ea1177Swdenk		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
134617ea1177Swdenk		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
134717ea1177Swdenk		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
134817ea1177Swdenk
1349bb99ad6dSBen Warren		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1350bb99ad6dSBen Warren
1351bb99ad6dSBen Warren		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1352bb99ad6dSBen Warren		must have a controller.  At any point in time, only one bus is
1353bb99ad6dSBen Warren		active.  To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1354bb99ad6dSBen Warren		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1355bb99ad6dSBen Warren
1356bb99ad6dSBen Warren		CFG_I2C_NOPROBES
1357bb99ad6dSBen Warren
1358bb99ad6dSBen Warren		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
1359bb99ad6dSBen Warren		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued (or 'iprobe' using the legacy
1360bb99ad6dSBen Warren		command).  If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS is set, specify a list of bus-device
1361bb99ad6dSBen Warren		pairs.	Otherwise, specify a 1D array of device addresses
1362bb99ad6dSBen Warren
1363bb99ad6dSBen Warren		e.g.
1364bb99ad6dSBen Warren			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1365bb99ad6dSBen Warren			#define CFG_I2C_NOPROBES	{0x50,0x68}
1366bb99ad6dSBen Warren
1367bb99ad6dSBen Warren		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1368bb99ad6dSBen Warren
1369bb99ad6dSBen Warren			#define	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1370bb99ad6dSBen Warren			#define CFG_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
1371bb99ad6dSBen Warren
1372bb99ad6dSBen Warren		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1373bb99ad6dSBen Warren
1374be5e6181STimur Tabi		CFG_SPD_BUS_NUM
1375be5e6181STimur Tabi
1376be5e6181STimur Tabi		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1377be5e6181STimur Tabi		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1378be5e6181STimur Tabi
13790dc018ecSStefan Roese		CFG_RTC_BUS_NUM
13800dc018ecSStefan Roese
13810dc018ecSStefan Roese		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
13820dc018ecSStefan Roese		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
13830dc018ecSStefan Roese
13840dc018ecSStefan Roese		CFG_DTT_BUS_NUM
13850dc018ecSStefan Roese
13860dc018ecSStefan Roese		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
13870dc018ecSStefan Roese		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
13880dc018ecSStefan Roese
1389be5e6181STimur Tabi		CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1390be5e6181STimur Tabi
1391be5e6181STimur Tabi		Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
13927817cb20SMarcel Ziswiler		drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
1393be5e6181STimur Tabi
1394be5e6181STimur Tabi
1395c609719bSwdenk- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
1396c609719bSwdenk
1397c609719bSwdenk		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
1398c609719bSwdenk		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
1399c609719bSwdenk		D/As on the SACSng board)
1400c609719bSwdenk
1401c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_SPI_X
1402c609719bSwdenk
1403c609719bSwdenk		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
1404c609719bSwdenk		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
1405c609719bSwdenk
1406c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
1407c609719bSwdenk
1408c609719bSwdenk		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
1409c609719bSwdenk		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1410c609719bSwdenk		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1411c609719bSwdenk		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1412c609719bSwdenk		defined, the board configuration must define several
1413c609719bSwdenk		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1414c609719bSwdenk		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
1415c609719bSwdenk
141604a9e118SBen Warren		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
141704a9e118SBen Warren
141804a9e118SBen Warren		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
141904a9e118SBen Warren		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
142004a9e118SBen Warren		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
142104a9e118SBen Warren		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.  For an
142204a9e118SBen Warren		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
142304a9e118SBen Warren
14240133502eSMatthias Fuchs- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
14250133502eSMatthias Fuchs
14260133502eSMatthias Fuchs		Enables FPGA subsystem.

14280133502eSMatthias Fuchs		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
14290133502eSMatthias Fuchs
14300133502eSMatthias Fuchs		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
14310133502eSMatthias Fuchs		(ALTERA, XILINX)
14320133502eSMatthias Fuchs
14330133502eSMatthias Fuchs		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
14340133502eSMatthias Fuchs
14350133502eSMatthias Fuchs		Enables support for FPGA family.
14360133502eSMatthias Fuchs		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
14370133502eSMatthias Fuchs
14380133502eSMatthias Fuchs		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
1439c609719bSwdenk
1440c609719bSwdenk		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
1441c609719bSwdenk
1442c609719bSwdenk		CFG_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
1443c609719bSwdenk
1444c609719bSwdenk		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
1445c609719bSwdenk
1446c609719bSwdenk		CFG_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
1447c609719bSwdenk
1448c609719bSwdenk		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
1449c609719bSwdenk		status by the configuration function. This option
1450c609719bSwdenk		will require a board or device specific function to
1451c609719bSwdenk		be written.
1452c609719bSwdenk
1453c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
1454c609719bSwdenk
1455c609719bSwdenk		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
1456c609719bSwdenk		configuration driver.
1457c609719bSwdenk
1458c609719bSwdenk		CFG_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
1459c609719bSwdenk		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
1460c609719bSwdenk
1461c609719bSwdenk		CFG_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
1462c609719bSwdenk
1463c609719bSwdenk		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
1464c609719bSwdenk		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
1465c609719bSwdenk		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
1466c609719bSwdenk		indicated a CRC error).
1467c609719bSwdenk
1468c609719bSwdenk		CFG_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
1469c609719bSwdenk
1470c609719bSwdenk		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
1471c609719bSwdenk		after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
1472c609719bSwdenk		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
1473c609719bSwdenk		mS.
1474c609719bSwdenk
1475c609719bSwdenk		CFG_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
1476c609719bSwdenk
1477c609719bSwdenk		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
1478c609719bSwdenk		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 mS.
1479c609719bSwdenk
1480c609719bSwdenk		CFG_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
1481c609719bSwdenk
1482c609719bSwdenk		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
1483c609719bSwdenk		200 mS.
1484c609719bSwdenk
1485c609719bSwdenk- Configuration Management:
1486c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
1487c609719bSwdenk
1488c609719bSwdenk		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1489c609719bSwdenk		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
1490c609719bSwdenk
1491c609719bSwdenk- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1492c609719bSwdenk
1493c609719bSwdenk		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1494c609719bSwdenk		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
14957152b1d0Swdenk		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
1496c609719bSwdenk		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
1497c609719bSwdenk		protects these variables from casual modification by
1498c609719bSwdenk		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
1499c609719bSwdenk		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
1500c609719bSwdenk		change this behviour:
1501c609719bSwdenk
1502c609719bSwdenk		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1503c609719bSwdenk		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
150447cd00faSwdenk		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
1505c609719bSwdenk		these parameters.
1506c609719bSwdenk
1507c609719bSwdenk		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1508c609719bSwdenk		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
1509c609719bSwdenk		ethernet address is installed in the environment,
1510c609719bSwdenk		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
1511c609719bSwdenk		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
1512c609719bSwdenk		read-only.]
1513c609719bSwdenk
1514c609719bSwdenk- Protected RAM:
1515c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_PRAM
1516c609719bSwdenk
1517c609719bSwdenk		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
1518c609719bSwdenk		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
1519c609719bSwdenk		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
1520c609719bSwdenk		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
1521c609719bSwdenk		this default value by defining an environment
1522c609719bSwdenk		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
1523c609719bSwdenk		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
1524c609719bSwdenk		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
1525c609719bSwdenk		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
1526c609719bSwdenk		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
1527c609719bSwdenk		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
1528c609719bSwdenk		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
1529c609719bSwdenk
1530fe126d8bSWolfgang Denk			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
1531c609719bSwdenk			saveenv
1532c609719bSwdenk
1533c609719bSwdenk		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
1534c609719bSwdenk		either, which results in a memory region that will
1535c609719bSwdenk		not be affected by reboots.
1536c609719bSwdenk
1537c609719bSwdenk		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
1538c609719bSwdenk		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
1539c609719bSwdenk		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
1540c609719bSwdenk		following board configurations are known to be
1541c609719bSwdenk		"pRAM-clean":
1542c609719bSwdenk
1543c609719bSwdenk			ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
1544c609719bSwdenk			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
1545c609719bSwdenk			PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260
1546c609719bSwdenk
1547c609719bSwdenk- Error Recovery:
1548c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
1549c609719bSwdenk
1550c609719bSwdenk		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
1551c609719bSwdenk		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
1552c609719bSwdenk		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
1553c609719bSwdenk		system where you want to system to reboot
1554c609719bSwdenk		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
1555c609719bSwdenk		useful during development since you can try to debug
1556c609719bSwdenk		the conditions that lead to the situation.
1557c609719bSwdenk
1558c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
1559c609719bSwdenk
1560c609719bSwdenk		This variable defines the number of retries for
1561c609719bSwdenk		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
1562c609719bSwdenk		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
1563c609719bSwdenk		default value of 5 is used.
1564c609719bSwdenk
1565c609719bSwdenk- Command Interpreter:
15668078f1a5SWolfgang Denk		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
156704a85b3bSwdenk
156804a85b3bSwdenk		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
156904a85b3bSwdenk
15708078f1a5SWolfgang Denk		Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
15718078f1a5SWolfgang Denk		for the "hush" shell.
15728078f1a5SWolfgang Denk
15738078f1a5SWolfgang Denk
1574c609719bSwdenk		CFG_HUSH_PARSER
1575c609719bSwdenk
1576c609719bSwdenk		Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
1577c609719bSwdenk		Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
1578c609719bSwdenk		powerful command line syntax like
1579c609719bSwdenk		if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
1580c609719bSwdenk		constructs ("shell scripts").
1581c609719bSwdenk
1582c609719bSwdenk		If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
1583c609719bSwdenk		with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
1584c609719bSwdenk
1585c609719bSwdenk
1586c609719bSwdenk		CFG_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2

1588c609719bSwdenk		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
1589c609719bSwdenk		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
1590c609719bSwdenk		to complete a command. Usually "> ".

1592c609719bSwdenk	Note:
1593c609719bSwdenk
1594c609719bSwdenk		In the current implementation, the local variables
1595c609719bSwdenk		space and global environment variables space are
1596c609719bSwdenk		separated. Local variables are those you define by
15973b57fe0aSwdenk		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
1598c609719bSwdenk		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
15993b57fe0aSwdenk		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
16003b57fe0aSwdenk		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
1601c609719bSwdenk
1602c609719bSwdenk		Global environment variables are those you use
1603c609719bSwdenk		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
1604c609719bSwdenk		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
1605c609719bSwdenk		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
1606c609719bSwdenk
1607c609719bSwdenk		To store commands and special characters in a
1608c609719bSwdenk		variable, please use double quotation marks
1609c609719bSwdenk		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
1610c609719bSwdenk		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
1611c609719bSwdenk		symbols.

1616aa0c71acSWolfgang Denk		Enable editiong and History functions for interactive

1618aa0c71acSWolfgang Denk
1619a8c7c708Swdenk- Default Environment:
1620c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
1621c609719bSwdenk
1622c609719bSwdenk		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
1623c609719bSwdenk		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
16247152b1d0Swdenk		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
16252262cfeeSwdenk
1626c609719bSwdenk		For example, place something like this in your
1627c609719bSwdenk		board's config file:
1628c609719bSwdenk
1629c609719bSwdenk		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
1630c609719bSwdenk			"myvar1=value1\0" \
1631c609719bSwdenk			"myvar2=value2\0"
1632c609719bSwdenk
1633c609719bSwdenk		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
1634c609719bSwdenk		internal format how the environment is stored by the
16352262cfeeSwdenk		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
1636c609719bSwdenk		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
16377152b1d0Swdenk		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
1638c609719bSwdenk		You better know what you are doing here.
1639c609719bSwdenk
1640c609719bSwdenk		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
1641c609719bSwdenk		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
1642c609719bSwdenk		the environment like the autoscript function or the
1643c609719bSwdenk		boot command first.
1644c609719bSwdenk
1645a8c7c708Swdenk- DataFlash Support:
16462abbe075Swdenk		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
16472abbe075Swdenk
16482abbe075Swdenk		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
16492abbe075Swdenk		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
16502abbe075Swdenk		commands cp, md...
16512abbe075Swdenk
16523f85ce27Swdenk- SystemACE Support:
16533f85ce27Swdenk		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
16543f85ce27Swdenk
16553f85ce27Swdenk		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
16563f85ce27Swdenk		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
16573f85ce27Swdenk		of the chip must alsh be defined in the
16583f85ce27Swdenk		CFG_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
16593f85ce27Swdenk
16603f85ce27Swdenk		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
16613f85ce27Swdenk		#define CFG_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
16623f85ce27Swdenk
16633f85ce27Swdenk		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
16643f85ce27Swdenk		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
16653f85ce27Swdenk
1666ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
1667ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
1668ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk
166928cb9375SWolfgang Denk		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
1670ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
167128cb9375SWolfgang Denk		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
1672ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk		number generator is used.
1673ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk
167428cb9375SWolfgang Denk		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
167528cb9375SWolfgang Denk		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
167628cb9375SWolfgang Denk		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
167728cb9375SWolfgang Denk
167828cb9375SWolfgang Denk		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
1679ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
1680ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
1681ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
1682ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
1683ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
1684ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk		but sometimes that is not allowed.
1685ecb0ccd9SWolfgang Denk
1686a8c7c708Swdenk- Show boot progress:
1687c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
1688c609719bSwdenk
1689c609719bSwdenk		Defining this option allows to add some board-
1690c609719bSwdenk		specific code (calling a user-provided function
1691c609719bSwdenk		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
1692c609719bSwdenk		the system's boot progress on some display (for
1693c609719bSwdenk		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
1694c609719bSwdenk		the following checkpoints are implemented:

1854c609719bSwdenk
1855c609719bSwdenk- Modem support endable:
1856c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
1857c609719bSwdenk
1858c609719bSwdenk- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
1859c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_HWFLOW
1860c609719bSwdenk
1861c609719bSwdenk- Modem debug support:
1862c609719bSwdenk		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
1863c609719bSwdenk
1864c609719bSwdenk		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
1865c609719bSwdenk		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
1866c609719bSwdenk
1867a8c7c708Swdenk- Interrupt support (PPC):
1868a8c7c708Swdenk
1869a8c7c708Swdenk		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
1870a8c7c708Swdenk		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
1871a8c7c708Swdenk		for cpu specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
1872a8c7c708Swdenk		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
1873a8c7c708Swdenk		cpu resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
1874a8c7c708Swdenk		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
1875a8c7c708Swdenk		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for cpu
1876a8c7c708Swdenk		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
1877a8c7c708Swdenk		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
1878a8c7c708Swdenk		general timer_interrupt().
1879a8c7c708Swdenk
1880c609719bSwdenk- General:
1881c609719bSwdenk
1882c609719bSwdenk		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
1883c609719bSwdenk		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
1884c609719bSwdenk		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
1885c609719bSwdenk		(autoboot). The key_pressed() fuction is called from
1886c609719bSwdenk		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
1887c609719bSwdenk		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
1888c609719bSwdenk		initialization.
1889c609719bSwdenk
1890c609719bSwdenk		If there are no modem init strings in the
1891c609719bSwdenk		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
1892c609719bSwdenk		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
1893c609719bSwdenk		supressed, though.

197815940c9aSStefan Roese		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
197915940c9aSStefan Roese		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
198015940c9aSStefan Roese		you can define CFG_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
198115940c9aSStefan Roese		to adjust this setting to your needs.
1982c609719bSwdenk
1983c609719bSwdenk- CFG_BOOTMAPSZ:
1984c609719bSwdenk		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of

1986c609719bSwdenk		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, eventually
1987c609719bSwdenk		initrd image) must be put below this limit.

20108564acf9Swdenk
2011c609719bSwdenk- CFG_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
2012c609719bSwdenk
2013c609719bSwdenk		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2014c609719bSwdenk		without this option such a download has to be
2015c609719bSwdenk		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2016c609719bSwdenk		copy from RAM to flash.
2017c609719bSwdenk
2018c609719bSwdenk		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2019c609719bSwdenk		you can check if the download worked before you erase
2020c609719bSwdenk		the flash, but in some situations (when sytem RAM is
2021c609719bSwdenk		too limited to allow for a tempory copy of the
2022c609719bSwdenk		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2023c609719bSwdenk
2024c609719bSwdenk- CFG_FLASH_CFI:
2025c609719bSwdenk		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
20265653fc33Swdenk		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
20275653fc33Swdenk
20285653fc33Swdenk- CFG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
20295653fc33Swdenk		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
20305653fc33Swdenk		in the drivers directory
203153cf9435Sstroese
20325568e613SStefan Roese- CFG_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
20335568e613SStefan Roese		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
20345568e613SStefan Roese		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
20355568e613SStefan Roese		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
20365568e613SStefan Roese		optionally available.
20375568e613SStefan Roese
20389a042e9cSJerry Van Baren- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
20399a042e9cSJerry Van Baren		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
20409a042e9cSJerry Van Baren		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
20419a042e9cSJerry Van Baren		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
20429a042e9cSJerry Van Baren
204353cf9435Sstroese- CFG_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
204453cf9435Sstroese		Defines the number of ethernet receive buffers. On some
204553cf9435Sstroese		ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
204653cf9435Sstroese		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
204753cf9435Sstroese		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
204853cf9435Sstroese		on high ethernet traffic.
204953cf9435Sstroese		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2050c609719bSwdenk
2051c609719bSwdenkThe following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2052c609719bSwdenkof environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2053c609719bSwdenkfollowing configurations:
2054c609719bSwdenk
2055c609719bSwdenk- CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
2056c609719bSwdenk
2057c609719bSwdenk	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
2058c609719bSwdenk
2059c609719bSwdenk	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
2060c609719bSwdenk	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
2061c609719bSwdenk	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
2062c609719bSwdenk	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
2063c609719bSwdenk	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
2064c609719bSwdenk	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
2065c609719bSwdenk	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
2066c609719bSwdenk	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
2067c609719bSwdenk	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
2068c609719bSwdenk	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
2069c609719bSwdenk	   between U-Boot and the environment.
2070c609719bSwdenk
2071c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
2072c609719bSwdenk
2073c609719bSwdenk	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
2074c609719bSwdenk	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
2075c609719bSwdenk	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
2076c609719bSwdenk	   for this sector is given here.
2077c609719bSwdenk
2078c609719bSwdenk	   CFG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CFG_FLASH_BASE.
2079c609719bSwdenk
2080c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_ADDR:
2081c609719bSwdenk
2082c609719bSwdenk	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
2083c609719bSwdenk	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
2084c609719bSwdenk	   CFG_ENV_OFFSET).
2085c609719bSwdenk
2086c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
2087c609719bSwdenk
2088c609719bSwdenk	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
2089c609719bSwdenk
2090c609719bSwdenk
2091c609719bSwdenk	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
2092c609719bSwdenk	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
2093c609719bSwdenk	   the environment.
2094c609719bSwdenk
2095c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_SIZE:
2096c609719bSwdenk
2097c609719bSwdenk	   If you use this in combination with CFG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
2098c609719bSwdenk	   and CFG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
2099c609719bSwdenk	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
2100c609719bSwdenk	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
2101c609719bSwdenk
2102c609719bSwdenk	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
2103c609719bSwdenk	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
2104c609719bSwdenk	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
2105c609719bSwdenk	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
2106c609719bSwdenk	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
2107c609719bSwdenk	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
2108c609719bSwdenk	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
2109c609719bSwdenk	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
2110c609719bSwdenk	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
2111c609719bSwdenk
2112c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
2113c609719bSwdenk	  CFG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
2114c609719bSwdenk
2115c609719bSwdenk	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
2116c609719bSwdenk	   a redundand copy of the environment data, so that there is
21173e38691eSwdenk	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
2118c609719bSwdenk	   a "saveenv" operation.
2119c609719bSwdenk
2120c609719bSwdenkBE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
2121c609719bSwdenksource code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
2122c609719bSwdenkaccordingly!
2123c609719bSwdenk
2124c609719bSwdenk
2125c609719bSwdenk- CFG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
2126c609719bSwdenk
2127c609719bSwdenk	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
2128c609719bSwdenk	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
2129c609719bSwdenk	environment.
2130c609719bSwdenk
2131c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_ADDR:
2132c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_SIZE:
2133c609719bSwdenk
2134c609719bSwdenk	  These two #defines are used to determin the memory area you
2135c609719bSwdenk	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
2136c609719bSwdenk	  can just be read and written to, without any special
2137c609719bSwdenk	  provision.
2138c609719bSwdenk
2139c609719bSwdenkBE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
2140c609719bSwdenkin U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
2141c609719bSwdenkconsole baudrate). You *MUST* have mappend your NVRAM area then, or
2142c609719bSwdenkU-Boot will hang.
2143c609719bSwdenk
2144c609719bSwdenkPlease note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
2145c609719bSwdenkenvironment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
2146c609719bSwdenkkeep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
2147c609719bSwdenkto save the current settings.
2148c609719bSwdenk
2149c609719bSwdenk
2150c609719bSwdenk- CFG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
2151c609719bSwdenk
2152c609719bSwdenk	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
2153c609719bSwdenk	device and a driver for it.
2154c609719bSwdenk
2155c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_OFFSET:
2156c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_ENV_SIZE:
2157c609719bSwdenk
2158c609719bSwdenk	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
2159c609719bSwdenk	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
2160c609719bSwdenk
2161c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
2162c609719bSwdenk	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
2163c609719bSwdenk	  The default address is zero.
2164c609719bSwdenk
2165c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
2166c609719bSwdenk	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
2167c609719bSwdenk	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
2168c609719bSwdenk	  would require six bits.
2169c609719bSwdenk
2170c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
2171c609719bSwdenk	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
2172c609719bSwdenk	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
2173c609719bSwdenk
2174c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
2175c609719bSwdenk	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
2176c609719bSwdenk	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
2177c609719bSwdenk
21785cf91d6bSwdenk	- CFG_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
21795cf91d6bSwdenk	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
21805cf91d6bSwdenk	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
21815cf91d6bSwdenk	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
21825cf91d6bSwdenk	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
21835cf91d6bSwdenk	  byte chips.
21845cf91d6bSwdenk
21855cf91d6bSwdenk	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
21865cf91d6bSwdenk	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
21875cf91d6bSwdenk	  in the chip address.
21885cf91d6bSwdenk
2189c609719bSwdenk	- CFG_EEPROM_SIZE:

22035779d8d9Swdenk	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
22045779d8d9Swdenk	  at the specified address.

2217e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher	- CFG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND
2218e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher
2219e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher	  This setting describes a second storage area of CFG_ENV_SIZE
2220e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data,
2221e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher	  so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a
2222e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher	  power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
2223e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher
2224e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher	Note: CFG_ENV_OFFSET and CFG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned
2225e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher	to a block boundary, and CFG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of
2226e443c944SMarkus Klotzbuecher	the NAND devices block size.

2228c609719bSwdenk- CFG_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
2229c609719bSwdenk
2230c609719bSwdenk	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
2231c609719bSwdenk	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
2232c609719bSwdenk	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
2233c609719bSwdenk	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
2234c609719bSwdenk	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
2235c609719bSwdenk	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
2236c609719bSwdenk	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
2237c609719bSwdenk
2238e881cb56SBruce AdlerPlease note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
2239c609719bSwdenkhas been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
2240c609719bSwdenkcreated; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r()
2241c609719bSwdenkuntil then to read environment variables.
2242c609719bSwdenk
224385ec0bccSwdenkThe environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
224485ec0bccSwdenkis relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
224585ec0bccSwdenkwith the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
224685ec0bccSwdenknecessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
224785ec0bccSwdenk"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
224885ec0bccSwdenkhave any device yet where we could complain.]
2249c609719bSwdenk
2250c609719bSwdenkNote: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
2251c609719bSwdenkthe default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
225285ec0bccSwdenkuse the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

2496c609719bSwdenkBuilding the Software:
2497c609719bSwdenk======================
2498c609719bSwdenk
2499218ca724SWolfgang DenkBuilding U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
2500218ca724SWolfgang Denkand in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
2501218ca724SWolfgang Denkall possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
2502218ca724SWolfgang Denk(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
2503218ca724SWolfgang Denkrecommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
2504218ca724SWolfgang Denkwhich is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
2505c609719bSwdenk
2506218ca724SWolfgang DenkIf you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
2507218ca724SWolfgang Denkhave GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
2508218ca724SWolfgang Denkyou must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
2509218ca724SWolfgang DenkNote that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
2510218ca724SWolfgang Denknecessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
2511c609719bSwdenk
2512218ca724SWolfgang Denk	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
2513218ca724SWolfgang Denk	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
2514c609719bSwdenk
2515c609719bSwdenkU-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
2516c609719bSwdenksources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
2517c609719bSwdenkis done by typing:
2518c609719bSwdenk
2519c609719bSwdenk	make NAME_config
2520c609719bSwdenk
2521218ca724SWolfgang Denkwhere "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
2522218ca724SWolfgang Denkrations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
252354387ac9Swdenk
2524c609719bSwdenkNote: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
2525c609719bSwdenk      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
25262729af9dSwdenk      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
25272729af9dSwdenk      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
2528c609719bSwdenk      when chosing the configuration, i. e.
2529c609719bSwdenk
25302729af9dSwdenk      make TQM823L_config
25312729af9dSwdenk	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
2532c609719bSwdenk
2533c609719bSwdenk      make TQM823L_LCD_config
2534c609719bSwdenk	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
2535c609719bSwdenk
2536c609719bSwdenk      etc.
2537c609719bSwdenk
2538c609719bSwdenk
2539c609719bSwdenkFinally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
25407152b1d0Swdenkimages ready for download to / installation on your system:
2541c609719bSwdenk
2542c609719bSwdenk- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
2543c609719bSwdenk- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
2544c609719bSwdenk- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
2545c609719bSwdenk
2546baf31249SMarian BalakowiczBy default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
2547baf31249SMarian Balakowiczin the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
2548baf31249SMarian Balakowiczthis behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
2549baf31249SMarian Balakowicz
2550baf31249SMarian Balakowicz1. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
2551baf31249SMarian Balakowicz
2552baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	make O=/tmp/build distclean
2553baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
2554baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	make O=/tmp/build all
2555baf31249SMarian Balakowicz
2556baf31249SMarian Balakowicz2. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
2557baf31249SMarian Balakowicz
2558baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2559baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	make distclean
2560baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	make NAME_config
2561baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	make all
2562baf31249SMarian Balakowicz
2563baf31249SMarian BalakowiczNote that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
2564baf31249SMarian Balakowiczvariable.
2565baf31249SMarian Balakowicz
2566c609719bSwdenk
2567c609719bSwdenkPlease be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
2568c609719bSwdenkfor instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
2569c609719bSwdenknative "make".
2570c609719bSwdenk
2571c609719bSwdenk
2572c609719bSwdenkIf the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
2573c609719bSwdenkto port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
2574c609719bSwdenksteps:
2575c609719bSwdenk
2576c609719bSwdenk1.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
257785ec0bccSwdenk    "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
257885ec0bccSwdenk    entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
25797152b1d0Swdenk    boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
258085ec0bccSwdenk    keep this order.
2581c609719bSwdenk2.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
258285ec0bccSwdenk    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
258385ec0bccSwdenk    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
258485ec0bccSwdenk3.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
258585ec0bccSwdenk    your board
2586c609719bSwdenk3.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
2587c609719bSwdenk    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
258885ec0bccSwdenk4.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
2589c609719bSwdenk5.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
2590c609719bSwdenk    to be installed on your target system.
259185ec0bccSwdenk6.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
2592c609719bSwdenk    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
2593c609719bSwdenk
2594c609719bSwdenk
2595c609719bSwdenkTesting of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
2596c609719bSwdenk==============================================================
2597c609719bSwdenk
2598c609719bSwdenkIf you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
2599c609719bSwdenkor support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
2600c609719bSwdenkprovide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
2601c609719bSwdenkthe form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
2602218ca724SWolfgang Denkofficial or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
2603c609719bSwdenk
2604c609719bSwdenkBut before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
2605c609719bSwdenkcation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
2606c609719bSwdenkthe supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
2607c609719bSwdenkjust run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
2608c609719bSwdenkfor ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
26097152b1d0Swdenkselect which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
2610218ca724SWolfgang Denkenvironment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
2611218ca724SWolfgang Denkyou can type
2612c609719bSwdenk
2613c609719bSwdenk	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
2614c609719bSwdenk
2615c609719bSwdenkor to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
2616c609719bSwdenk
2617c609719bSwdenk	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
2618c609719bSwdenk
2619218ca724SWolfgang DenkWhen using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
2620218ca724SWolfgang DenkU-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
2621218ca724SWolfgang Denksetting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
2622218ca724SWolfgang Denkbuilt, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
2623218ca724SWolfgang Denk<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
2624218ca724SWolfgang Denklocation can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
2625218ca724SWolfgang Denkvariable. For example:
2626baf31249SMarian Balakowicz
2627baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
2628baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
2629baf31249SMarian Balakowicz	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
2630baf31249SMarian Balakowicz
2631218ca724SWolfgang DenkWith the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
2632218ca724SWolfgang Denklog files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
2633218ca724SWolfgang Denkduring the whole build process.

2695c609719bSwdenkTODO.
2696c609719bSwdenk
2697c609719bSwdenkFor now: just type "help <command>".
2698c609719bSwdenk
2699c609719bSwdenk
2700c609719bSwdenkEnvironment Variables:
2701c609719bSwdenk======================
2702c609719bSwdenk
2703c609719bSwdenkU-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
2704c609719bSwdenkcan be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
2705c609719bSwdenk
2706c609719bSwdenkEnvironment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
2707c609719bSwdenk"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
2708c609719bSwdenkwithout a value can be used to delete a variable from the
2709c609719bSwdenkenvironment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
2710c609719bSwdenkworking with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
2711c609719bSwdenkenvironment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
2712c609719bSwdenk
2713c609719bSwdenkSome configuration options can be set using Environment Variables:
2714c609719bSwdenk
2715c609719bSwdenk  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
2716c609719bSwdenk
2717c609719bSwdenk  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
2718c609719bSwdenk
2719c609719bSwdenk  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
2720c609719bSwdenk
2721c609719bSwdenk  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
2722c609719bSwdenk
2723c609719bSwdenk  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
2724c609719bSwdenk
2725c609719bSwdenk  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
2726c609719bSwdenk		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
2727c609719bSwdenk		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
2728c609719bSwdenk		  load any image using TFTP
2729c609719bSwdenk
27303310c549SMarian Balakowicz  autoscript	- if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady",
27313310c549SMarian Balakowicz		  "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt
27323310c549SMarian Balakowicz		  to automatically run script images (by internally
27333310c549SMarian Balakowicz		  calling "autoscript").
27343310c549SMarian Balakowicz
27353310c549SMarian Balakowicz  autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this
27363310c549SMarian Balakowicz		     variable is used to get script subimage unit name.
27373310c549SMarian Balakowicz
2738c609719bSwdenk  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
2739c609719bSwdenk		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
2740c609719bSwdenk		  be automatically started (by internally calling
2741c609719bSwdenk		  "bootm")
2742c609719bSwdenk
27434a6fd34bSwdenk		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
27444a6fd34bSwdenk		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
27454a6fd34bSwdenk		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
27464a6fd34bSwdenk		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
27474a6fd34bSwdenk		  data.
27484a6fd34bSwdenk
274917ea1177Swdenk  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
275017ea1177Swdenk		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
275117ea1177Swdenk		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
275217ea1177Swdenk		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
275317ea1177Swdenk		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
275417ea1177Swdenk
2755c609719bSwdenk  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
2756c609719bSwdenk		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
2757c609719bSwdenk		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
2758c609719bSwdenk		  is usually what you want since it allows for
2759c609719bSwdenk		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
2760c609719bSwdenk		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
2761c609719bSwdenk		  CFG_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
2762c609719bSwdenk		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
2763c609719bSwdenk		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
2764c609719bSwdenk		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
2765c609719bSwdenk		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
2766c609719bSwdenk
2767c609719bSwdenk		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
27687152b1d0Swdenk		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
2769c609719bSwdenk		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
2770c609719bSwdenk		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
27717152b1d0Swdenk		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
2772c609719bSwdenk		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
2773c609719bSwdenk
2774c609719bSwdenk		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
2775c609719bSwdenk
277638b99261Swdenk		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
277738b99261Swdenk		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
277838b99261Swdenk		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
277938b99261Swdenk		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
278038b99261Swdenk		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
278138b99261Swdenk		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
278238b99261Swdenk		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

2835c609719bSwdenk
2836c609719bSwdenkThe following environment variables may be used and automatically
2837c609719bSwdenkupdated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
2838c609719bSwdenkdepending the information provided by your boot server:
2839c609719bSwdenk
2840c609719bSwdenk  bootfile	- see above
2841c609719bSwdenk  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
2842fe389a82Sstroese  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
2843c609719bSwdenk  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
2844c609719bSwdenk  hostname	- Target hostname
2845c609719bSwdenk  ipaddr	- see above
2846c609719bSwdenk  netmask	- Subnet Mask
2847c609719bSwdenk  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
2848c609719bSwdenk  serverip	- see above
2849c609719bSwdenk
2850c609719bSwdenk
2851c609719bSwdenkThere are two special Environment Variables:
2852c609719bSwdenk
2853c609719bSwdenk  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
2854c609719bSwdenk		  as type string and/or serial number
2855c609719bSwdenk  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
2856c609719bSwdenk
2857c609719bSwdenkThese variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
2858c609719bSwdenkthe board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
2859c609719bSwdenkonce they have been set once.
2860c609719bSwdenk
2861c609719bSwdenk
2862c1551ea8SstroeseFurther special Environment Variables:
2863c1551ea8Sstroese
2864c1551ea8Sstroese  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
2865c1551ea8Sstroese		  with the "version" command. This variable is
2866c1551ea8Sstroese		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
2867c1551ea8Sstroese
2868c1551ea8Sstroese
2869c609719bSwdenkPlease note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
2870c609719bSwdenkonly effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

2873f07771ccSwdenkCommand Line Parsing:
2874f07771ccSwdenk=====================
2875f07771ccSwdenk
2876f07771ccSwdenkThere are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
28777152b1d0Swdenkthe old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
2878f07771ccSwdenk
2879f07771ccSwdenkOld, simple command line parser:
2880f07771ccSwdenk--------------------------------
2881f07771ccSwdenk
2882f07771ccSwdenk- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
2883f07771ccSwdenk- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
2884fe126d8bSWolfgang Denk- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
2885f07771ccSwdenk- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
2886f07771ccSwdenk  for example:
2887fe126d8bSWolfgang Denk	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
2888f07771ccSwdenk- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
2889f07771ccSwdenk	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
2890f07771ccSwdenk
2891f07771ccSwdenkHush shell:
2892f07771ccSwdenk-----------
2893f07771ccSwdenk
2894f07771ccSwdenk- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
2895f07771ccSwdenk  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
2896f07771ccSwdenk  until...do...done, ...
2897f07771ccSwdenk- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
2898f07771ccSwdenk  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
2899f07771ccSwdenk  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
2900f07771ccSwdenk  command
2901f07771ccSwdenk
2902f07771ccSwdenkGeneral rules:
2903f07771ccSwdenk--------------
2904f07771ccSwdenk
2905f07771ccSwdenk(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
2906f07771ccSwdenk    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
2907f07771ccSwdenk    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
2908f07771ccSwdenk    executed anyway.
2909f07771ccSwdenk
2910f07771ccSwdenk(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
2911f07771ccSwdenk    calling run with a list af variables as arguments), any failing
2912f07771ccSwdenk    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
2913f07771ccSwdenk    variables are not executed.
2914f07771ccSwdenk
2915c609719bSwdenkNote for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
2916c609719bSwdenk=======================================
2917c609719bSwdenk
29187152b1d0SwdenkSome boards come with redundant ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
2919c609719bSwdenksuch configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
29207152b1d0Swdenk"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
2921c609719bSwdenk
2922c609719bSwdenkNetwork interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
2923c609719bSwdenkMAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
2924c609719bSwdenk"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
2925c609719bSwdenk
2926c609719bSwdenkIf the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
2927c609719bSwdenkin SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
2928c609719bSwdenkding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
2929c609719bSwdenkvariable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
2930c609719bSwdenk
2931c609719bSwdenko If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
2932c609719bSwdenk  environment, the SROM's address is used.
2933c609719bSwdenk
2934c609719bSwdenko If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
2935c609719bSwdenk  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
2936c609719bSwdenk  used.
2937c609719bSwdenk
2938c609719bSwdenko If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
2939c609719bSwdenk  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
2940c609719bSwdenk
2941c609719bSwdenko If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
2942c609719bSwdenk  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
2943c609719bSwdenk  warning is printed.
2944c609719bSwdenk
2945c609719bSwdenko If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
2946c609719bSwdenk  is raised.

2948c609719bSwdenk
2949c609719bSwdenkImage Formats:
2950c609719bSwdenk==============
2951c609719bSwdenk
29523310c549SMarian BalakowiczU-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
29533310c549SMarian Balakowiczimages in two formats:
29543310c549SMarian Balakowicz
29553310c549SMarian BalakowiczNew uImage format (FIT)
29563310c549SMarian Balakowicz-----------------------
29573310c549SMarian Balakowicz
29583310c549SMarian BalakowiczFlexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
29593310c549SMarian Balakowiczto Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
29603310c549SMarian Balakowiczcomponents (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
29613310c549SMarian BalakowiczSHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
29623310c549SMarian Balakowicz
29633310c549SMarian Balakowicz
29643310c549SMarian BalakowiczOld uImage format
29653310c549SMarian Balakowicz-----------------
29663310c549SMarian Balakowicz
29673310c549SMarian BalakowiczOld image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
29683310c549SMarian Balakowiczpreceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
29693310c549SMarian Balakowiczdetails; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
2970c609719bSwdenk
2971c609719bSwdenk* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
2972c609719bSwdenk  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,

2984c609719bSwdenkThe header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
2985c609719bSwdenkand the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
2986c609719bSwdenkCRC32 checksums.
2987c609719bSwdenk
2988c609719bSwdenk
2989c609719bSwdenkLinux Support:
2990c609719bSwdenk==============
2991c609719bSwdenk
2992c609719bSwdenkAlthough U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
29937152b1d0Swdenkeasily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
2994c609719bSwdenkU-Boot.
2995c609719bSwdenk
2996c609719bSwdenkU-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
2997c609719bSwdenkspecial "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
2998c609719bSwdenk"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
2999c609719bSwdenkinstead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
30007152b1d0Swdenkserves several purposes:
3001c609719bSwdenk
3002c609719bSwdenk- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
3003c609719bSwdenk  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
3004c609719bSwdenk  Flash memory footprint)
3005c609719bSwdenk
3006c609719bSwdenk- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
30077152b1d0Swdenk  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
3008c609719bSwdenk
3009c609719bSwdenk- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
3010c609719bSwdenk  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
3011c609719bSwdenk  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
3012c609719bSwdenk  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
3013c609719bSwdenk  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
3014c609719bSwdenk  software is easier now.

3016c609719bSwdenk
3017c609719bSwdenkLinux HOWTO:
3018c609719bSwdenk============
3019c609719bSwdenk
3020c609719bSwdenkPorting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
3021c609719bSwdenk---------------------------------------
3022c609719bSwdenk
3023c609719bSwdenkU-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
3024c609719bSwdenkconfigure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
3025c609719bSwdenk(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
3026c609719bSwdenkLinux :-).
3027c609719bSwdenk
3028c609719bSwdenkBut now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot).
3029c609719bSwdenk
3030c609719bSwdenkJust make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
3031c609719bSwdenkinclude/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
3032c609719bSwdenkInformation structure as we define in include/u-boot.h, and make
3033c609719bSwdenksure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value as your
3034c609719bSwdenkU-Boot configuration in CFG_IMMR.
3035c609719bSwdenk
3036c609719bSwdenk
3037c609719bSwdenkConfiguring the Linux kernel:
3038c609719bSwdenk-----------------------------
3039c609719bSwdenk
3040c609719bSwdenkNo specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
3041c609719bSwdenkdevice (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
3042c609719bSwdenk
3043c609719bSwdenk
3044c609719bSwdenkBuilding a Linux Image:
3045c609719bSwdenk-----------------------
3046c609719bSwdenk
304724ee89b9SwdenkWith U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
304824ee89b9Swdenknot used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
304924ee89b9Swdenk"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
305024ee89b9SwdenkU-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
305124ee89b9Swdenkwhich was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
305224ee89b9Swdenk100% compatible format.
3053c609719bSwdenk
3054c609719bSwdenkExample:
3055c609719bSwdenk
3056c609719bSwdenk	make TQM850L_config
3057c609719bSwdenk	make oldconfig
3058c609719bSwdenk	make dep
305924ee89b9Swdenk	make uImage
3060c609719bSwdenk
306124ee89b9SwdenkThe "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
306224ee89b9Swdenkencapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
306324ee89b9SwdenkCRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
3064c609719bSwdenk
306524ee89b9Swdenk* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
306624ee89b9Swdenk
306724ee89b9Swdenk* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
306824ee89b9Swdenk
306924ee89b9Swdenk	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
307024ee89b9Swdenk				 -R .note -R .comment \
307124ee89b9Swdenk				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
307224ee89b9Swdenk
307324ee89b9Swdenk* compress the binary image:
307424ee89b9Swdenk
307524ee89b9Swdenk	gzip -9 linux.bin
307624ee89b9Swdenk
307724ee89b9Swdenk* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
307824ee89b9Swdenk
307924ee89b9Swdenk	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
308024ee89b9Swdenk		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
308124ee89b9Swdenk		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
308224ee89b9Swdenk
308324ee89b9Swdenk
308424ee89b9SwdenkThe "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
308524ee89b9Swdenkwith U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
308624ee89b9Swdenkcombined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
308724ee89b9Swdenkbyte header containing information about target architecture,
308824ee89b9Swdenkoperating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
308924ee89b9Swdenkstamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
309024ee89b9Swdenk
309124ee89b9Swdenk"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
309224ee89b9Swdenkprint the header information, or to build new images.
3093c609719bSwdenk
3094c609719bSwdenkIn the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
3095c609719bSwdenkcontained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
3096c609719bSwdenkchecksum verification:
3097c609719bSwdenk
3098c609719bSwdenk	tools/mkimage -l image
3099c609719bSwdenk	  -l ==> list image header information

3101c609719bSwdenkThe second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
3102c609719bSwdenkfrom a "data file" which is used as image payload:
3103c609719bSwdenk
3104c609719bSwdenk	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
3105c609719bSwdenk		      -n name -d data_file image
3106c609719bSwdenk	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
3107c609719bSwdenk	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
3108c609719bSwdenk	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
3109c609719bSwdenk	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
3110c609719bSwdenk	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
3111c609719bSwdenk	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
3112c609719bSwdenk	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
3113c609719bSwdenk	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
3114c609719bSwdenk
311569459791SwdenkRight now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
311669459791Swdenkaddress (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
311769459791Swdenkkernel version:
3118c609719bSwdenk
3119c609719bSwdenk- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
312024ee89b9Swdenk- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
3121c609719bSwdenk
3122c609719bSwdenkSo a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
3123c609719bSwdenk
312424ee89b9Swdenk	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \

3134c609719bSwdenk
3135c609719bSwdenkTo verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
3136c609719bSwdenk
313724ee89b9Swdenk	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
313824ee89b9Swdenk	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

3144c609719bSwdenk
3145c609719bSwdenkNOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
3146c609719bSwdenkspeed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
3147c609719bSwdenkneeds more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
3148c609719bSwdenkneed to be uncompressed:
3149c609719bSwdenk
315024ee89b9Swdenk	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz

3163c609719bSwdenkSimilar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
3164c609719bSwdenkwhen your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:

3177c609719bSwdenkInstalling a Linux Image:
3178c609719bSwdenk-------------------------
3179c609719bSwdenk
3180c609719bSwdenkTo downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
3181c609719bSwdenkyou must convert the image to S-Record format:
3182c609719bSwdenk
3183c609719bSwdenk	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
3184c609719bSwdenk
3185c609719bSwdenkThe 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
3186c609719bSwdenkimage header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
3187c609719bSwdenkaddress 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
3188c609719bSwdenkspecify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
3189c609719bSwdenkcommand.
3190c609719bSwdenk
3191c609719bSwdenkExample: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
3192c609719bSwdenkTQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
3193c609719bSwdenk
3194c609719bSwdenk	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF

33586069ff26Swdenk------------------------------
33596069ff26Swdenk
33606069ff26SwdenkU-Boot supports the following image types:
33616069ff26Swdenk
33626069ff26Swdenk   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
33636069ff26Swdenk	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
33646069ff26Swdenk	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
33656069ff26Swdenk	the Standalone Program.
33666069ff26Swdenk   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
33676069ff26Swdenk	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
33686069ff26Swdenk	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
33696069ff26Swdenk	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
33706069ff26Swdenk	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
33716069ff26Swdenk   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
33726069ff26Swdenk	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
33736069ff26Swdenk	being started.
33746069ff26Swdenk   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
33756069ff26Swdenk	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
33766069ff26Swdenk	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
33776069ff26Swdenk	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
33786069ff26Swdenk	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
33796069ff26Swdenk	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
33806069ff26Swdenk
33816069ff26Swdenk	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
33826069ff26Swdenk	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
33836069ff26Swdenk	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
33846069ff26Swdenk	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
33856069ff26Swdenk	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
33866069ff26Swdenk	a multiple of 4 bytes).
33876069ff26Swdenk
33886069ff26Swdenk   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
33896069ff26Swdenk	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
33906069ff26Swdenk	flash memory.
33916069ff26Swdenk
33926069ff26Swdenk   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
33936069ff26Swdenk	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
33946069ff26Swdenk	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
33956069ff26Swdenk	as command interpreter.

3399c609719bSwdenk=================
3400c609719bSwdenk
3401c609719bSwdenkOne of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
3402c609719bSwdenkrun "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
3403c609719bSwdenkU-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
3404c609719bSwdenk
3405c609719bSwdenkTwo simple examples are included with the sources:
3406c609719bSwdenk
3407c609719bSwdenk"Hello World" Demo:
3408c609719bSwdenk-------------------
3409c609719bSwdenk
3410c609719bSwdenk'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
3411c609719bSwdenkapplication; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
3412c609719bSwdenkIt's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
3413c609719bSwdenklike that:

3439c609719bSwdenkAnother example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
3440c609719bSwdenkhandler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
3441c609719bSwdenkHere, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
3442c609719bSwdenkThe interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
3443c609719bSwdenkcharacter, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
3444c609719bSwdenkcontrolled by the following keys:
3445c609719bSwdenk
3446c609719bSwdenk	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
3447c609719bSwdenk	b - enable interrupts and start timer

3504c609719bSwdenkNetBSD Notes:
3505c609719bSwdenk=============
3506c609719bSwdenk
3507c609719bSwdenkStarting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
3508c609719bSwdenk(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
3509c609719bSwdenk
3510c609719bSwdenkBuilding requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
3511c609719bSwdenkNetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
3512c609719bSwdenkneed gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
3513c609719bSwdenkNote that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
3514c609719bSwdenkattempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
3515c609719bSwdenkmissing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
3516c609719bSwdenk
3517c609719bSwdenk	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
3518c609719bSwdenk	# mkdir powerpc
3519c609719bSwdenk	# ln -s powerpc machine
3520c609719bSwdenk	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
3521c609719bSwdenk	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
3522c609719bSwdenk
3523c609719bSwdenkNative builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
3524c609719bSwdenkand U-Boot include files.
3525c609719bSwdenk
3526c609719bSwdenkBooting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
3527c609719bSwdenkstage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
3528c609719bSwdenkproper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
3529c609719bSwdenktree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
35302a8af187Swdenkmeantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

3533c609719bSwdenkImplementation Internals:
3534c609719bSwdenk=========================
3535c609719bSwdenk
3536c609719bSwdenkThe following is not intended to be a complete description of every
3537c609719bSwdenkimplementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
3538c609719bSwdenkinner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
3539c609719bSwdenkhardware.
3540c609719bSwdenk
3541c609719bSwdenk
3542c609719bSwdenkInitial Stack, Global Data:
3543c609719bSwdenk---------------------------
3544c609719bSwdenk
3545c609719bSwdenkThe implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
3546c609719bSwdenkstarts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
3547c609719bSwdenksystem RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
3548c609719bSwdenkThis means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
3549c609719bSwdenkis not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
3550c609719bSwdenkat all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
3551c609719bSwdenkoptions for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
3552c609719bSwdenkmodels provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
3553c609719bSwdenkMPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
3554c609719bSwdenklocked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
3555c609719bSwdenk
35567152b1d0Swdenk	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
355743d9616cSwdenk	u-boot-users mailing list:

356243d9616cSwdenk	...
356343d9616cSwdenk
356443d9616cSwdenk	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
356543d9616cSwdenk	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
356643d9616cSwdenk	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
356743d9616cSwdenk	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
356843d9616cSwdenk	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
356943d9616cSwdenk	beyond the scope of this list to expain the details, but you
357043d9616cSwdenk	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
357143d9616cSwdenk	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
357243d9616cSwdenk
357343d9616cSwdenk	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
357443d9616cSwdenk	is another option for the system designer to use as an
357543d9616cSwdenk	initial stack/ram area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
357643d9616cSwdenk	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
357743d9616cSwdenk	board designers haven't used it for something that would
357843d9616cSwdenk	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
357943d9616cSwdenk	used.
358043d9616cSwdenk
358143d9616cSwdenk	CFG_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
358243d9616cSwdenk	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
358343d9616cSwdenk	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
35848a316c9bSStefan Roese	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
358543d9616cSwdenk	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
358643d9616cSwdenk	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
358743d9616cSwdenk	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
358843d9616cSwdenk	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
358943d9616cSwdenk	you get the config right.

359343d9616cSwdenk
3594c609719bSwdenkIt is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
3595c609719bSwdenkcode for the initialization procedures:
3596c609719bSwdenk
3597c609719bSwdenk* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
3598c609719bSwdenk  to write it.
3599c609719bSwdenk
3600c609719bSwdenk* Do not use any unitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
3601c609719bSwdenk  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
36027152b1d0Swdenk  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
3603c609719bSwdenk
3604c609719bSwdenk* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
3605c609719bSwdenk  that.
3606c609719bSwdenk
3607c609719bSwdenkHaving only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
3608c609719bSwdenknormal global data to share information beween the code. But it
3609c609719bSwdenkturned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
3610c609719bSwdenksimplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
3611c609719bSwdenkfunctions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
3612c609719bSwdenkfunctions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
3613c609719bSwdenkthe GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
3614c609719bSwdenkplace a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
3615c609719bSwdenkreserve for this purpose.
3616c609719bSwdenk
36177152b1d0SwdenkWhen choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
3618c609719bSwdenkrelevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
3619c609719bSwdenkGCC's implementation.
3620c609719bSwdenk
3621c609719bSwdenkFor PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
3622c609719bSwdenk	R1:	stack pointer
3623e7670f6cSWolfgang Denk	R2:	reserved for system use
3624c609719bSwdenk	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
3625c609719bSwdenk	R5-R10: parameter passing
3626c609719bSwdenk	R13:	small data area pointer
3627c609719bSwdenk	R30:	GOT pointer
3628c609719bSwdenk	R31:	frame pointer
3629c609719bSwdenk
3630c609719bSwdenk	(U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.)
3631c609719bSwdenk
3632e7670f6cSWolfgang Denk    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
3633c609719bSwdenk
3634c609719bSwdenk    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
3635c609719bSwdenk    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
3636c609719bSwdenk    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
3637c609719bSwdenk    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
3638c609719bSwdenk    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
3639c609719bSwdenk    624 text + 127 data).
3640c609719bSwdenk
36414c58eb55SMike FrysingerOn Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P5) is followed as documented here:

36454c58eb55SMike Frysinger
3646c609719bSwdenkOn ARM, the following registers are used:
3647c609719bSwdenk
3648c609719bSwdenk	R0:	function argument word/integer result
3649c609719bSwdenk	R1-R3:	function argument word

3652c609719bSwdenk	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
3653c609719bSwdenk	R12:	temporary workspace
3654c609719bSwdenk	R13:	stack pointer
3655c609719bSwdenk	R14:	link register
3656c609719bSwdenk	R15:	program counter
3657c609719bSwdenk

3663c609719bSwdenkMemory Management:
3664c609719bSwdenk------------------
3665c609719bSwdenk
3666c609719bSwdenkU-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
3667c609719bSwdenkMMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
3668c609719bSwdenk
3669c609719bSwdenkThe available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
3670c609719bSwdenkcontroller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
3671c609719bSwdenkmemory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
3672c609719bSwdenkphysical memory banks.
3673c609719bSwdenk
3674c609719bSwdenkU-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
3675c609719bSwdenkTQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
3676c609719bSwdenkbooting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
3677c609719bSwdenkto the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
3678c609719bSwdenkmemory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CFG_MALLOC_LEN
3679c609719bSwdenkconfiguration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
3680c609719bSwdenkInfo data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
3681c609719bSwdenk
3682c609719bSwdenkAdditionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
3683c609719bSwdenkof DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
3684c609719bSwdenk
3685c609719bSwdenkSo a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
3686c609719bSwdenkthis:
3687c609719bSwdenk
3688c609719bSwdenk	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
3689c609719bSwdenk	      :
3690c609719bSwdenk	0x0000 1FFF
3691c609719bSwdenk	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
3692c609719bSwdenk	      :
3693c609719bSwdenk	      :
3694c609719bSwdenk
3695c609719bSwdenk	      :
3696c609719bSwdenk	      :
3697c609719bSwdenk	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
3698c609719bSwdenk	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
3699c609719bSwdenk	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
3700c609719bSwdenk	      :
3701c609719bSwdenk	0x00FD FFFF
3702c609719bSwdenk	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
3703c609719bSwdenk	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
3704c609719bSwdenk	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
3705c609719bSwdenk	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
3706c609719bSwdenk
3707c609719bSwdenk
3708c609719bSwdenkSystem Initialization:
3709c609719bSwdenk----------------------
3710c609719bSwdenk
3711c609719bSwdenkIn the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
3712c609719bSwdenk(on most PowerPC systens at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
3713c609719bSwdenkconfiguration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
37147152b1d0SwdenkTo be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
3715c609719bSwdenkTo be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
3716c609719bSwdenkinitial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
3717c609719bSwdenkwhich provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
3718c609719bSwdenkpart of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
3719c609719bSwdenkthe caches and the SIU.
3720c609719bSwdenk
3721c609719bSwdenkNext, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
3722c609719bSwdenkpreliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
3723c609719bSwdenk(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
3724c609719bSwdenkon 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
3725c609719bSwdenkprogrammed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
3726c609719bSwdenksimple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
3727c609719bSwdenkbanks.
3728c609719bSwdenk
3729c609719bSwdenkWhen there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
37307152b1d0Swdenkdifferent size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
3731c609719bSwdenkbank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
3732c609719bSwdenk0x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
3733c609719bSwdenkcontiguous memory starting from 0.
3734c609719bSwdenk
3735c609719bSwdenkThen, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
3736c609719bSwdenkand allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
3737c609719bSwdenkInfo data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
3738c609719bSwdenkpages, and the final stack is set up.
3739c609719bSwdenk
3740c609719bSwdenkOnly after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
3741c609719bSwdenkuntil that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
3742c609719bSwdenkrunning from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
3743c609719bSwdenknew address in RAM.

3809c609719bSwdenk-----------------
3810c609719bSwdenk
3811c609719bSwdenkAll contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
38122c051651SDetlev Zundelcoding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
38132c051651SDetlev Zundel"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.  In sources
38142c051651SDetlev Zundeloriginating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
38152c051651SDetlev Zundelspaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
3816c609719bSwdenk
38172c051651SDetlev ZundelSource files originating from a different project (for example the
38182c051651SDetlev ZundelMTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
38192c051651SDetlev Zundelreformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
38202c051651SDetlev Zundelsources.
38212c051651SDetlev Zundel
38222c051651SDetlev ZundelPlease note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
38232c051651SDetlev ZundelAssembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
38242c051651SDetlev Zundelin your code.
3825c609719bSwdenk
3826c178d3daSwdenkPlease also stick to the following formatting rules:
3827180d3f74Swdenk- remove any trailing white space
3828180d3f74Swdenk- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
3829180d3f74Swdenk- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
3830180d3f74Swdenk- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
3831180d3f74Swdenk- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
3832180d3f74Swdenk
3833c609719bSwdenkSubmissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned

3837c609719bSwdenkSubmitting Patches:
3838c609719bSwdenk-------------------
3839c609719bSwdenk
3840c609719bSwdenkSince the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
3841c609719bSwdenkestablish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
3842c609719bSwdenkmay be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
3843c609719bSwdenk
384490dc6704SwdenkPatches shall be sent to the u-boot-users mailing list.
3845c609719bSwdenk
3846218ca724SWolfgang DenkPlease see http://www.denx.de/wiki/UBoot/Patches for details.
3847218ca724SWolfgang Denk
3848c609719bSwdenkWhen you send a patch, please include the following information with
3849c609719bSwdenkit:
3850c609719bSwdenk
3851c609719bSwdenk* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
3852c609719bSwdenk  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
3853c609719bSwdenk  patch actually fixes something.
3854c609719bSwdenk
3855c609719bSwdenk* For new features: a description of the feature and your
3856c609719bSwdenk  implementation.
3857c609719bSwdenk
3858c609719bSwdenk* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
3859c609719bSwdenk
3860c609719bSwdenk* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
3861c609719bSwdenk
3862c609719bSwdenk* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
3863c609719bSwdenk  board to the MAKEALL script, too.
3864c609719bSwdenk
3865c609719bSwdenk* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
3866c609719bSwdenk  document these in the README file.
3867c609719bSwdenk
3868218ca724SWolfgang Denk* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
3869218ca724SWolfgang Denk  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
3870218ca724SWolfgang Denk  "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
3871218ca724SWolfgang Denk  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
3872218ca724SWolfgang Denk  with some other mail clients.
3873c609719bSwdenk
3874218ca724SWolfgang Denk  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
3875218ca724SWolfgang Denk  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
3876218ca724SWolfgang Denk  GNU diff.
38776dff5529Swdenk
3878218ca724SWolfgang Denk  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
3879218ca724SWolfgang Denk  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
3880218ca724SWolfgang Denk  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
3881218ca724SWolfgang Denk  affected files).
3882218ca724SWolfgang Denk
3883218ca724SWolfgang Denk  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
3884218ca724SWolfgang Denk  and compressed attachments must not be used.
3885c609719bSwdenk
388652f52c14Swdenk* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
388752f52c14Swdenk  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
388852f52c14Swdenk
388952f52c14Swdenk* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
389052f52c14Swdenk  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

3893c609719bSwdenkNotes:
3894c609719bSwdenk
3895c609719bSwdenk* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
3896c609719bSwdenk  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
3897c609719bSwdenk  for any of the boards.
3898c609719bSwdenk
3899c609719bSwdenk* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
3900c609719bSwdenk  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
3901c609719bSwdenk  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
3902c609719bSwdenk
3903c609719bSwdenk* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
3904c609719bSwdenk  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
3905c609719bSwdenk  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
3906c609719bSwdenk  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
3907c609719bSwdenk  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
3908c609719bSwdenk  modification.
390990dc6704Swdenk
391090dc6704Swdenk* Remember that there is a size limit of 40 kB per message on the
3911218ca724SWolfgang Denk  u-boot-users mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If
3912218ca724SWolfgang Denk  they are reasonable and not bigger than 100 kB, they will be
3913218ca724SWolfgang Denk  acknowledged. Even bigger patches should be avoided.
