For instance, all monitor commands are 24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to 25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used 26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can 27load and run it dynamically. 28 29 30Status: 31======= 32 33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the 34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered 35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. 36 37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out 38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board 39maintainers. 40 41Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree; 42it can be created dynamically from the Git log using: 43 44 make CHANGELOG 45 46 47Where to get help: 48================== 49 50In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 51U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 52<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

Regular releases are identified by 121names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 122Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 123releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 124 125Examples: 126 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 127 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 128 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 129 130 131Directory Hierarchy: 132==================== 133 134/arch Architecture specific files 135 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 136 /cpu CPU specific files 137 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 138 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 139 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 140 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 141 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 142 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 143 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 144 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 145 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 146 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 147 /lib Architecture specific library files 148 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 149 /cpu CPU specific files 150 /lib Architecture specific library files 151 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 152 /cpu CPU specific files 153 /lib Architecture specific library files 154 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 155 /cpu CPU specific files 156 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 157 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 158 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 159 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 160 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 161 /lib Architecture specific library files 162 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 163 /cpu CPU specific files 164 /lib Architecture specific library files 165 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 166 /cpu CPU specific files 167 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 168 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 169 /lib Architecture specific library files 170 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 171 /cpu CPU specific files 172 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 173 /lib Architecture specific library files 174 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 175 /cpu CPU specific files 176 /lib Architecture specific library files 177 /openrisc Files generic to OpenRISC architecture 178 /cpu CPU specific files 179 /lib Architecture specific library files 180 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 181 /cpu CPU specific files 182 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 183 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 184 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 185 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 186 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 187 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 188 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 189 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 190 /lib Architecture specific library files 191 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 192 /cpu CPU specific files 193 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 194 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 195 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 196 /lib Architecture specific library files 197 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 198 /cpu CPU specific files 199 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 200 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 201 /lib Architecture specific library files 202 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 203 /cpu CPU specific files 204 /lib Architecture specific library files 205/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 206/board Board dependent files 207/common Misc architecture independent functions 208/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 209/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 210/drivers Commonly used device drivers 211/dts Contains Makefile for building internal U-Boot fdt. 212/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 213/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 214/include Header Files 215/lib Files generic to all architectures 216 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 217 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 218 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 219/net Networking code 220/post Power On Self Test 221/spl Secondary Program Loader framework 222/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 223 224Software Configuration: 225======================= 226 227Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 228rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 229 230There are two classes of configuration variables: 231 232* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 233 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 234 "CONFIG_". 235 236* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 237 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 238 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 239 "CONFIG_SYS_". 240 241Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 242identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 243do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 244links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 245as an example here. 246 247 248Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 249--------------------------------------------------- 250 251For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 252configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 253 254Example: For a TQM823L module type: 255 256 cd u-boot 257 make TQM823L_config 258 259For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 260e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 261directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 262 263 264Configuration Options: 265---------------------- 266 267Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 268such information is kept in a configuration file 269"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 270 271Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 272"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 273 274 275Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 276kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 277build a config tool - later. 278 279 280The following options need to be configured: 281 282- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 283 284- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 285 286- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 287 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 288 289- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 290 Define exactly one of 291 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 292--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 293 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 294 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 295 296- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 297 Define exactly one of 298 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 299 300- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 301 Define one or more of 302 CONFIG_CMA302 303 304- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 305 Define one or more of 306 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 307 the LCD display every second with 308 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 309 310- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 311 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 312 Possible values are: 313 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 314 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 315 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 316 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 317 318- Marvell Family Member 319 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 320 multiple fs option at one time 321 for marvell soc family 322 323- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 324 Define exactly one of 325 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 326 327- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 328 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 329 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 330 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 331 reference PIT/RTC clock 332 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 333 or XTAL/EXTAL) 334 335- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 336 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 337 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 338 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 339 See doc/README.MPC866 340 341 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 342 343 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 344 of relying on the correctness of the configured 345 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 346 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 347 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 348 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 349 350 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 351 352 Define this option if you want to enable the 353 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 354 355- 85xx CPU Options: 356 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 357 358 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 359 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 360 compliance, among other possible reasons. 361 362 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 363 364 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 365 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 366 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 367 368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 369 370 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 371 tree nodes for the given platform. 372 373 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 374 375 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 376 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 377 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 378 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 379 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 380 purpose. 381 382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 383 384 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 385 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 387 388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 389 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 390 391 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 392 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 393 394 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 395 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 396 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 397 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 398 399 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 400 this erratum. 401 402 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 403 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 404 requred during NOR boot. 405 406 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 407 408 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 409 according to the A004510 workaround. 410 411 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR 412 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is 413 connected exclusively to the DSP cores. 414 415 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 416 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 417 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 418 419 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR 420 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly 421 connected to the DSP core. 422 423 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 424 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 425 426 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 427 Specify emulator support for DDR. Some DDR features such as 428 deskew training are not available. 429 430- Generic CPU options: 431 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 432 433 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 434 values is arch specific. 435 436- Intel Monahans options: 437 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 438 439 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 440 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 441 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 442 443 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 444 445 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 446 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 447 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 448 by this value. 449 450- MIPS CPU options: 451 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 452 453 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 454 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 455 relocation. 456 457 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 458 459 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 460 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 461 Possible values are: 462 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 463 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 464 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 465 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 466 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 467 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 468 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 469 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 470 471 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 472 473 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 474 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 475 476 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 477 478 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 479 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 480 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 481 482- ARM options: 483 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 484 485 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 486 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 487 488 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 489 490 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 491 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 492 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 493 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 494 GCC. 495 496 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 497 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 498 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 499 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 500 501 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 502 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 503 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 504 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 505 set these options unless they apply! 506 507- CPU timer options: 508 CONFIG_SYS_HZ 509 510 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). 511 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG 512 option must be set to 1000. 513 514- Linux Kernel Interface: 515 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 516 517 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 518 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 519 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 520 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 521 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 522 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 523 Linux kernel. 524 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 525 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 526 default environment. 527 528 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 529 530 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 531 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 532 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 533 534 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 535 536 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 537 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 538 concepts). 539 540 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 541 * New libfdt-based support 542 * Adds the "fdt" command 543 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 544 545 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 546 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 547 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 548 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 549 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 550 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 551 552 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 553 addresses 554 555 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 556 557 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 558 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 559 560 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 561 562 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 563 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 564 565 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 566 567 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 568 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 569 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 570 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 571 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 572 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 573 574 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 575 576 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 577 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 578 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 579 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 580 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 581 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 582 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 583 584- vxWorks boot parameters: 585 586 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 587 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 588 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 589 590 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 591 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 592 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 593 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 594 595 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 596 597 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 598 599 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 600 the defaults discussed just above. 601 602- Cache Configuration: 603 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 604 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 605 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 606 607- Cache Configuration for ARM: 608 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 609 controller 610 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 611 controller register space 612 613- Serial Ports: 614 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 615 616 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 617 618 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 619 620 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 621 622 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 623 624 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 625 the clock speed of the UARTs. 626 627 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 628 629 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 630 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 631 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 632 633 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 634 635 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 636 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 637 this variable to initialize the extra register. 638 639 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 640 641 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 642 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 643 variable to flush the UART at init time. 644 645 646- Console Interface: 647 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 648 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 649 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 650 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 651 652 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 653 port routines must be defined elsewhere 654 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 655 656 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 657 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 658 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 659 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 660 (default big endian) 661 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 662 rectangle fill 663 (cf. smiLynxEM) 664 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 665 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 666 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 667 (cols=pitch) 668 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 669 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 670 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 671 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 672 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 673 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 674 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 675 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 676 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 677 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 678 (i.e. i8042_getc) 679 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 680 (requires blink timer 681 cf. i8042.c) 682 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 683 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 684 upper right corner 685 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 686 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 687 upper left corner 688 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 689 linux_logo.h for logo. 690 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 691 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 692 additional board info beside 693 the logo 694 695 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 696 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 697 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 698 699 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 700 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 701 environment 'console=serial'. 702 703 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 704 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 705 the "silent" environment variable. See 706 doc/README.silent for more information. 707 708- Console Baudrate: 709 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 710 Select one of the baudrates listed in 711 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 712 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 713 714- Console Rx buffer length 715 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 716 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 717 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 718 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 719 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 720 the SMC. 721 722- Pre-Console Buffer: 723 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 724 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 725 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 726 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 727 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 728 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 729 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 730 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 731 earlier bytes are discarded. 732 733 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 734 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 735 736- Safe printf() functions 737 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 738 the printf() functions. These are defined in 739 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 740 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 741 If this option is not given then these functions will 742 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 743 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 744 745- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 746 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 747 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 748 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 749 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 750 751 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 752 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 753 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 754 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 755 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 756 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 757 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 758 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 759 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 761 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 762 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 763 764- Autoboot Command: 765 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 766 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 767 define a command string that is automatically executed 768 when no character is read on the console interface 769 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 770 771 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 772 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 773 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 774 environment value "bootargs". 775 776 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 777 The value of these goes into the environment as 778 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 779 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 780 RAM and NFS. 781 782- Pre-Boot Commands: 783 CONFIG_PREBOOT 784 785 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 786 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 787 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 788 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 789 entering interactive mode. 790 791 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 792 automatically generated or modified. For an example 793 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 794 modified when the user holds down a certain 795 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 796 booting the systems 797 798- Serial Download Echo Mode: 799 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 800 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 801 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 802 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 803 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 804 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 805 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 806 807- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 808 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 809 Select one of the baudrates listed in 810 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 811 812- Monitor Functions: 813 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 814 from the build by using the #include files 815 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 816 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 817 and augmenting with additional #define's 818 for wanted commands. 819 820 The default command configuration

write: 926 927 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 928 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 929 930 Other Commands: 931 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 932 933 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 934 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 935 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 936 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 937 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 938 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 939 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 940 initial stack and some data. 941 942 943 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 944 945- Regular expression support: 946 CONFIG_REGEX 947 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 948 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 949 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 950 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 951 952- Device tree: 953 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 954 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 955 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 956 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 957 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 958 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 959 960 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 961 be done using one of the two options below: 962 963 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 964 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 965 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 966 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 967 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 968 the global data structure as gd->blob. 969 970 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 971 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 972 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 973 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 974 975 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 976 977 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 978 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 979 still use the individual files if you need something more 980 exotic. 981 982- Watchdog: 983 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 984 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 985 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 986 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 987 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 988 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 989 available, then no further board specific code should 990 be needed to use it. 991 992 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 993 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 994 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 995 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 996 997- U-Boot Version: 998 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 999 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1000 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1001 version as printed by the "version" command. 1002 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1003 next reset. 1004 1005- Real-Time Clock: 1006 1007 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1008 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1009 following options: 1010 1011 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1012 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1013 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1014 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1015 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1016 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1017 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1018 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1019 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1020 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1021 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1022 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1023 RV3029 RTC. 1024 1025 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1026 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1027 1028- GPIO Support: 1029 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1030 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 1031 1032 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1033 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1034 pins supported by a particular chip. 1035 1036 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1037 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1038 1039- Timestamp Support: 1040 1041 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1042 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1043 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1044 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1045 1046- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1047 Zero or more of the following: 1048 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1049 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1050 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1051 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1052 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1053 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1054 disk/part_efi.c 1055 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1056 1057 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1058 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1059 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1060 1061- IDE Reset method: 1062 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1063 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1064 1065 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1066 be performed by calling the function 1067 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1068 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1069 1070- ATAPI Support: 1071 CONFIG_ATAPI 1072 1073 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1074 1075- LBA48 Support 1076 CONFIG_LBA48 1077 1078 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1079 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1080 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1081 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1082 1083 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1084 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1085 Default is 32bit. 1086 1087- SCSI Support: 1088 At the moment only there is only support for the 1089 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1090 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1091 1092 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1093 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1094 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1095 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1096 devices. 1097 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1098 1099 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1100 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1101 1102- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1103 CONFIG_E1000 1104 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1105 1106 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1107 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1108 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1109 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1110 1111 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1112 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1113 example with the "sspi" command. 1114 1115 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1116 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1117 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1118 1119 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1120 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1121 1122 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1123 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1124 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1125 write routine for first time initialisation. 1126 1127 CONFIG_TULIP 1128 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1129 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1130 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1131 1132 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1133 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1134 1135 CONFIG_NS8382X 1136 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1137 1138- NETWORK Support (other): 1139 1140 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1141 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1142 1143 CONFIG_RMII 1144 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1145 1146 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1147 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1148 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1149 1150 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1151 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1152 1153 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1154 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1155 1156 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1157 Define this to hold the physical address 1158 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1159 1160 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1161 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1162 1163 CONFIG_SMC91111 1164 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1165 1166 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1167 Define this to hold the physical address 1168 of the device (I/O space) 1169 1170 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1171 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1172 1173 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1174 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1175 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1176 1177 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1178 Support for davinci emac 1179 1180 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1181 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1182 1183 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1184 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1185 1186 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1187 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1188 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1189 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1190 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1191 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1192 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1193 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1194 1195 CONFIG_SMC911X 1196 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1197 1198 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1199 Define this to hold the physical address 1200 of the device (I/O space) 1201 1202 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1203 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1204 1205 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1206 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1207 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1208 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1209 1210 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1211 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1212 1213 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1214 Define the number of ports to be used 1215 1216 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1217 Define the ETH PHY's address 1218 1219 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1220 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1221 1222- TPM Support: 1223 CONFIG_TPM 1224 Support TPM devices. 1225 1226 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C 1227 Support for i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1228 per system is supported at this time. 1229 1230 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BUS_NUMBER 1231 Define the the i2c bus number for the TPM device 1232 1233 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 1234 Define the TPM's address on the i2c bus 1235 1236 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1237 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1238 1239 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI 1240 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. 1241 1242 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1243 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1244 per system is supported at this time. 1245 1246 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1247 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1248 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1249 0xfed40000. 1250 1251 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1252 Add tpm monitor functions. 1253 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1254 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1255 1256 CONFIG_TPM 1257 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1258 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1259 Requires support for a TPM device. 1260 1261 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1262 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1263 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1264 1265- USB Support: 1266 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1267 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1268 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1269 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1270 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1271 storage devices. 1272 Note: 1273 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1274 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1275 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1276 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1277 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1278 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1279 for USB on PSC3 1280 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1281 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1282 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1283 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1284 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1285 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1286 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1287 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1288 1289 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1290 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1291 1292 CONFIG_USB_HUB_MIN_POWER_ON_DELAY defines the minimum 1293 interval for usb hub power-on delay.(minimum 100msec) 1294 1295- USB Device: 1296 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1297 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1298 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1299 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1300 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1301 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1302 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1303 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1304 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1305 a Linux host by 1306 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1307 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1308 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1309 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1310 1311 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1312 Define this to build a UDC device 1313 1314 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1315 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1316 talk to the UDC device 1317 1318 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1319 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1320 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1321 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1322 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1323 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1324 speed. 1325 1326 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1327 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1328 be set to usbtty. 1329 1330 mpc8xx: 1331 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1332 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1333 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1334 1335 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1336 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1337 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1338 1339 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1340 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1341 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1342 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1343 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1344 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1345 1346 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1347 Define this string as the name of your company for 1348 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1349 1350 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1351 Define this string as the name of your product 1352 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1353 1354 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1355 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1356 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1357 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1358 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1359 1360 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1361 Define this as the unique Product ID 1362 for your device 1363 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1364 1365- ULPI Layer Support: 1366 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1367 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1368 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1369 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1370 viewport is supported. 1371 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1372 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1373 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1374 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1375 the appropriate value in Hz. 1376 1377- MMC Support: 1378 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1379 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1380 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1381 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1382 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1383 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1384 1385 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1386 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1387 1388 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1389 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1390 1391 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1392 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1393 1394- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1395 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1396 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1397 1398 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1399 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1400 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1401 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1402 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1403 1404 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1405 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1406 1407 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1408 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1409 1410 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1411 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1412 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1413 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1414 one that would help mostly the developer. 1415 1416 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1417 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1418 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1419 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1420 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1421 1422 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1423 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1424 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1425 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1426 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1427 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1428 1429- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1430 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1431 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1432 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1433 1434 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1435 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1436 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1437 1438 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1439 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1440 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1441 1442 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1443 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1444 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1445 have not defined a custom partition 1446 1447- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1448 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1449 1450 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1451 file in FAT formatted partition. 1452 1453 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1454 user to write files to FAT. 1455 1456CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1457 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1458 1459 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1460 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1461 and cbfsload. 1462 1463- Keyboard Support: 1464 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1465 1466 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1467 support 1468 1469 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1470 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1471 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1472 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1473 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1474 1475 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1476 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1477 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1478 which provides key scans on request. 1479 1480- Video support: 1481 CONFIG_VIDEO 1482 1483 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1484 video). 1485 1486 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1487 1488 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1489 1490 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1491 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1492 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1493 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1494 assumed. 1495 1496 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1497 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1498 are possible: 1499 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1500 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1501 1502 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1503 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1504 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1505 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1506 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1507 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1508 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1509 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1510 1511 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1512 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1513 1514 1515 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1516 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1517 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1518 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1519 1520 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1521 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1522 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1523 support, and should also define these other macros: 1524 1525 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1526 CONFIG_VIDEO 1527 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1528 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1529 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1530 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1531 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1532 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1533 1534 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1535 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1536 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1537 description of this variable. 1538 1539 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1540 1541 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1542 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1543 driver. 1544 1545 1546- Keyboard Support: 1547 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1548 1549 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1550 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1551 defined in your board-specific files. 1552 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1553 1554- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1555 1556 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1557 display); also select one of the supported displays 1558 by defining one of these: 1559 1560 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1561 1562 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1563 1564 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1565 1566 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1567 1568 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1569 1570 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1571 Active, color, single scan. 1572 1573 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1574 1575 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1576 Active, color, single scan. 1577 1578 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1579 1580 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1581 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1582 1583 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1584 1585 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1586 Active, color, single scan. 1587 1588 CONFIG_HLD1045 1589 1590 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1591 Active, color, single scan. 1592 1593 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1594 1595 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1596 or 1597 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1598 or 1599 Hitachi SP14Q002 1600 1601 320x240. Black & white. 1602 1603 Normally display is black on white background; define 1604 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1605 1606 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1607 1608 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1609 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1610 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1611 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1612 a per-section basis. 1613 1614 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1615 1616 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1617 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1618 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1619 is slow. 1620 1621 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1622 1623 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1624 1625 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1626 1627 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1628 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1629 1630- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1631 1632 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1633 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1634 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1635 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1636 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1637 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1638 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1639 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1640 1641 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1642 1643 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1644 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1645 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses). 1646 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1647 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1648 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1649 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1650 there is no need to set this option. 1651 1652 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1653 1654 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1655 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1656 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1657 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1658 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1659 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1660 1661 Example: 1662 setenv splashpos m,m 1663 => image at center of screen 1664 1665 setenv splashpos 30,20 1666 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1667 1668 setenv splashpos -10,m 1669 => vertically centered image 1670 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1671 1672- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1673 1674 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1675 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1676 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1677 1678- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1679 1680 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1681 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1682 bmp command. 1683 1684- Do compresssing for memory range: 1685 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1686 1687 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1688 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1689 1690- Compression support: 1691 CONFIG_GZIP 1692 1693 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 1694 1695 CONFIG_BZIP2 1696 1697 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1698 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1699 compressed images are supported. 1700 1701 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1702 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1703 be at least 4MB. 1704 1705 CONFIG_LZMA 1706 1707 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1708 images is included. 1709 1710 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1711 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1712 formula: 1713 1714 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1715 1716 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1717 and Literal pos bits. 1718 1719 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1720 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1721 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1722 a very small buffer. 1723 1724 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1725 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1726 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1727 1728 CONFIG_LZO 1729 1730 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images 1731 is included. 1732 1733- MII/PHY support: 1734 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1735 1736 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1737 1738 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1739 1740 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1741 1742 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1743 1744 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1745 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1746 1747 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1748 1749 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1750 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1751 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1752 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1753 1754 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1755 1756 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1757 command issued before MII status register can be read 1758 1759- Ethernet address: 1760 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1761 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1762 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1763 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1764 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1765 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1766 1767 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1768 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1769 is not determined automatically. 1770 1771- IP address: 1772 CONFIG_IPADDR 1773 1774 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1775 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1776 determined through e.g. bootp. 1777 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1778 1779- Server IP address: 1780 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1781 1782 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1783 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1784 (Environment variable "serverip") 1785 1786 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1787 1788 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1789 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1790 1791- Gateway IP address: 1792 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1793 1794 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1795 default router where packets to other networks are 1796 sent to. 1797 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1798 1799- Subnet mask: 1800 CONFIG_NETMASK 1801 1802 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1803 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1804 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1805 forwarded through a router. 1806 (Environment variable "netmask") 1807 1808- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1809 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1810 1811 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1812 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1813 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1814 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1815 multicast group. 1816 1817- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1818 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1819 1820 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1821 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1822 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1823 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1824 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1825 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1826 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1827 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1828 following delays are inserted then: 1829 1830 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1831 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1832 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1833 4th and following 1834 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1835 1836- DHCP Advanced Options: 1837 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1838 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1839 1840 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1841 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1842 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1843 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1844 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1845 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1846 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1847 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1848 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1849 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1850 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1851 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1852 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1853 1854 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1855 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1856 1857 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1858 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1859 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1860 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1861 is not available. 1862 1863 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1864 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1865 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1866 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1867 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1868 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1869 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1870 is defined. 1871 1872 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1873 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1874 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1875 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1876 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1877 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1878 1879 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1880 1881 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1882 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1883 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1884 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1885 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1886 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1887 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1888 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1889 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1890 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1891 this delay. 1892 1893 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1894 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1895 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1896 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1897 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1898 1899 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1900 1901 - CDP Options: 1902 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1903 1904 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1905 1906 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1907 1908 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1909 of the device. 1910 1911 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1912 1913 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1914 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1915 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1916 1917 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1918 1919 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1920 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1921 1922 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1923 1924 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1925 1926 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1927 1928 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1929 1930 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1931 1932 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1933 1934 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1935 1936 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1937 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1938 1939 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1940 1941 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1942 1943- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1944 1945 Several configurations allow to display the current 1946 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1947 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1948 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1949 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1950 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1951 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1952 feature in U-Boot. 1953 1954- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1955 1956 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1957 on those systems that support this (optional) 1958 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1959 1960- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 1961 1962 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 1963 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 1964 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 1965 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See 1966 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line 1967 interface. 1968 1969 ported i2c driver to the new framework: 1970 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: 1971 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define 1972 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE 1973 for defining speed and slave address 1974 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define 1975 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 1976 for defining speed and slave address 1977 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define 1978 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 1979 for defining speed and slave address 1980 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define 1981 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 1982 for defining speed and slave address 1983 1984 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: 1985 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL 1986 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register 1987 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and 1988 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first 1989 bus. 1990 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define 1991 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset 1992 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and 1993 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the 1994 second bus. 1995 1996 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: 1997 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA 1998 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from 1999 100000 and the slave addr 0! 2000 2001 - drivers/i2c/ppc4xx_i2c.c 2002 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PPC4XX 2003 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PPC4XX_CH0 activate hardware channel 0 2004 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PPC4XX_CH1 activate hardware channel 1 2005 2006 - drivers/i2c/i2c_mxc.c 2007 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MXC 2008 - define speed for bus 1 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C1_SPEED 2009 - define slave for bus 1 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C1_SLAVE 2010 - define speed for bus 2 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C2_SPEED 2011 - define slave for bus 2 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C2_SLAVE 2012 - define speed for bus 3 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C3_SPEED 2013 - define slave for bus 3 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C3_SLAVE 2014 If thoses defines are not set, default value is 100000 2015 for speed, and 0 for slave. 2016 2017 - drivers/i2c/rcar_i2c.c: 2018 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RCAR 2019 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses 2020 2021 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C0_BASE for setting the register channel 0 2022 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C0_SPEED for for the speed channel 0 2023 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C1_BASE for setting the register channel 1 2024 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C1_SPEED for for the speed channel 1 2025 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C2_BASE for setting the register channel 2 2026 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C2_SPEED for for the speed channel 2 2027 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C3_BASE for setting the register channel 3 2028 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C3_SPEED for for the speed channel 3 2029 - CONFIF_SYS_RCAR_I2C_NUM_CONTROLLERS for number of i2c buses 2030 2031 additional defines: 2032 2033 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES 2034 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you 2035 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this 2036 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can 2037 omit this define. 2038 2039 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS 2040 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. 2041 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can 2042 omit this define. 2043 2044 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS 2045 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected 2046 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 2047 define. 2048 2049 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 2050 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if 2051 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 2052 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 2053 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 2054 2055 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2056 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 2057 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 2058 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 2059 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 2060 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 2061 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2062 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 2063 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 2064 } 2065 2066 which defines 2067 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 2068 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 2069 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 2070 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 2071 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 2072 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 2073 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 2074 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 2075 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 2076 2077 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 2078 2079- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C 2080 2081 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which 2082 provides the following compelling advantages: 2083 2084 - more than one i2c adapter is usable 2085 - approved multibus support 2086 - better i2c mux support 2087 2088 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** 2089 2090 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining 2091 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver 2092 for the selected CPU. 2093 2094 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 2095 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 2096 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 2097 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 2098 command line interface. 2099 2100 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 2101 2102 There are several other quantities that must also be 2103 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2104 2105 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 2106 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 2107 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 2108 the CPU's i2c node address). 2109 2110 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 2111 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 2112 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 2113 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 2114 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 2115 2116 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 2117 2118 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2119 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2120 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 2121 commands until the slave device responds. 2122 2123 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2124 2125 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 2126 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 2127 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 2128 2129 I2C_INIT 2130 2131 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 2132 controller or configure ports. 2133 2134 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 2135 2136 I2C_PORT 2137 2138 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2139 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2140 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2141 2142 I2C_ACTIVE 2143 2144 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2145 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2146 define can be null. 2147 2148 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2149 2150 I2C_TRISTATE 2151 2152 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2153 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2154 define can be null. 2155 2156 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2157 2158 I2C_READ 2159 2160 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2161 false if it is low. 2162 2163 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2164 2165 I2C_SDA(bit) 2166 2167 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2168 is false, it clears it (low). 2169 2170 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2171 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2172 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2173 2174 I2C_SCL(bit) 2175 2176 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2177 is false, it clears it (low). 2178 2179 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2180 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2181 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2182 2183 I2C_DELAY 2184 2185 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2186 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2187 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2188 like: 2189 2190 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2191 2192 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2193 2194 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2195 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2196 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2197 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2198 2199 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2200 the generic GPIO functions. 2201 2202 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2203 2204 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2205 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2206 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2207 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2208 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2209 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2210 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2211 is run early in the boot sequence. 2212 2213 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2214 2215 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2216 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2217 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2218 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2219 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2220 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2221 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2222 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2223 2224 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2225 2226 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2227 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2228 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2229 2230 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2231 2232 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2233 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2234 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2235 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2236 2237 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2238 2239 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2240 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2241 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2242 a 1D array of device addresses 2243 2244 e.g. 2245 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2246 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2247 2248 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2249 2250 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2251 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2252 2253 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2254 2255 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2256 2257 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2258 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2259 2260 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2261 2262 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2263 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2264 2265 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2266 2267 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2268 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2269 2270 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2271 2272 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2273 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2274 specified DTT device. 2275 2276 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2277 2278 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2279 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2280 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2281 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2282 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2283 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2284 the other. 2285 2286- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2287 2288 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2289 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2290 D/As on the SACSng board) 2291 2292 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2293 2294 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2295 only SH7757 is supported. 2296 2297 CONFIG_SPI_X 2298 2299 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2300 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2301 2302 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2303 2304 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2305 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2306 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2307 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2308 defined, the board configuration must define several 2309 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2310 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2311 2312 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2313 2314 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2315 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2316 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2317 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2318 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2319 2320 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2321 2322 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2323 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2324 2325- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2326 2327 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2328 2329 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2330 2331 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2332 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2333 2334 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2335 2336 Enables support for FPGA family. 2337 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2338 2339 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2340 2341 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2342 2343 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2344 2345 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2346 2347 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2348 2349 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2350 status by the configuration function. This option 2351 will require a board or device specific function to 2352 be written. 2353 2354 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2355 2356 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2357 configuration driver. 2358 2359 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2360 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2361 2362 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2363 2364 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2365 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2366 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2367 indicated a CRC error). 2368 2369 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2370 2371 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2372 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2373 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2374 ms. 2375 2376 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2377 2378 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2379 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2380 2381 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2382 2383 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2384 200 ms. 2385 2386- Configuration Management: 2387 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2388 2389 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2390 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2391 2392- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2393 2394 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2395 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2396 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2397 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2398 protects these variables from casual modification by 2399 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2400 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2401 change this behaviour: 2402 2403 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2404 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2405 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2406 these parameters. 2407 2408 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2409 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2410 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2411 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2412 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2413 read-only.] 2414 2415 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2416 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2417 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2418 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2419 2420- Protected RAM: 2421 CONFIG_PRAM 2422 2423 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2424 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2425 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2426 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2427 this default value by defining an environment 2428 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2429 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2430 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2431 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2432 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2433 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2434 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2435 2436 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2437 saveenv 2438 2439 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2440 either, which results in a memory region that will 2441 not be affected by reboots. 2442 2443 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2444 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2445 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2446 following board configurations are known to be 2447 "pRAM-clean": 2448 2449 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2450 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2451 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2452 2453- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2454 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2455 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2456 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2457 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2458 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2459 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2460 2461- Error Recovery: 2462 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2463 2464 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2465 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2466 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2467 system where you want the system to reboot 2468 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2469 useful during development since you can try to debug 2470 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2471 2472 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2473 2474 This variable defines the number of retries for 2475 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2476 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2477 default value of 5 is used. 2478 2479 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2480 2481 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2482 2483 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2484 2485 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2486 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2487 try longer timeout such as 2488 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2489 2490- Command Interpreter: 2491 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2492 2493 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2494 2495 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2496 for the "hush" shell. 2497 2498 2499 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2500 2501 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2502 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2503 powerful command line syntax like 2504 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2505 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2506 2507 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2508 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2509 2510 2511 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2512 2513 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2514 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2515 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2516 2517 Note: 2518 2519 In the current implementation, the local variables 2520 space and global environment variables space are 2521 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2522 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2523 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2524 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2525 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2526 2527 Global environment variables are those you use 2528 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2529 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2530 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2531 2532 To store commands and special characters in a 2533 variable, please use double quotation marks 2534 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2535 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2536 symbols. 2537 2538- Commandline Editing and History: 2539 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2540 2541 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2542 commandline input operations 2543 2544- Default Environment: 2545 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2546 2547 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2548 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2549 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2550 2551 For example, place something like this in your 2552 board's config file: 2553 2554 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2555 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2556 "myvar2=value2\0" 2557 2558 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2559 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2560 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2561 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2562 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2563 You better know what you are doing here. 2564 2565 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2566 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2567 the environment like the "source" command or the 2568 boot command first. 2569 2570 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2571 2572 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2573 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2574 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2575 2576 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2577 2578 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2579 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2580 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2581 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2582 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2583 2584 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2585 2586 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2587 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2588 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2589 2590 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2591 2592 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2593 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2594 that so that the environment is not available until 2595 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2596 this is instead controlled by the value of 2597 /config/load-environment. 2598 2599- DataFlash Support: 2600 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2601 2602 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2603 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2604 commands cp, md... 2605 2606- Serial Flash support 2607 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2608 2609 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2610 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2611 2612 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2613 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2614 commands. 2615 2616 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2617 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2618 flash is present on the system. 2619 2620 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2621 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2622 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2623 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2624 2625 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2626 2627 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2628 test ('sf test'). 2629 2630 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg 2631 2632 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr 2633 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. 2634 2635- SystemACE Support: 2636 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2637 2638 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2639 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2640 of the chip must also be defined in the 2641 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2642 2643 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2644 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2645 2646 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2647 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2648 2649- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2650 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2651 2652 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2653 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2654 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2655 number generator is used. 2656 2657 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2658 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2659 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2660 2661 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2662 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2663 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2664 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2665 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2666 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2667 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2668 2669- Hashing support: 2670 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 2671 2672 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 2673 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 2674 2675 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 2676 2677 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 2678 size a little. 2679 2680 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 2681 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 2682 2683 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 2684 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 2685 2686- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 2687 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 2688 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 2689 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 2690 2691 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 2692 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 2693 a boot from specific media. 2694 2695 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 2696 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 2697 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 2698 will set it back to normal. This command currently 2699 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 2700 2701- Signing support: 2702 CONFIG_RSA 2703 2704 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 2705 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information. 2706 2707 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 2708 option. 2709 2710 2711- Show boot progress: 2712 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2713 2714 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2715 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2716 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2717 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2718 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2719 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2720 2721- Detailed boot stage timing 2722 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 2723 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 2724 of the boot process. 2725 2726 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 2727 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 2728 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 2729 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 2730 the limit, recording will stop. 2731 2732 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 2733 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 2734 2735 Timer summary in microseconds: 2736 Mark Elapsed Stage 2737 0 0 reset 2738 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 2739 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 2740 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 2741 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 2742 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 2743 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 2744 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 2745 2746 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 2747 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 2748 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 2749 2750 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 2751 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 2752 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 2753 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 2754 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 2755 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 2756 For example: 2757 2758 bootstage { 2759 154 { 2760 name = "board_init_f"; 2761 mark = <3575678>; 2762 }; 2763 170 { 2764 name = "lcd"; 2765 accum = <33482>; 2766 }; 2767 }; 2768 2769 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 2770 2771Legacy uImage format: 2772 2773 Arg Where When 2774 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 2775 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

CONFIG_FIT 2926 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 2927 2928 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 2929 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 2930 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 2931 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 2932 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 2933 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 2934 2935 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 2936 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 2937 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See 2938 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 2939 2940- Standalone program support: 2941 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2942 2943 This option defines a board specific value for the 2944 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2945 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2946 settings. 2947 2948- Frame Buffer Address: 2949 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2950 2951 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2952 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 2953 when using a graphics controller has separate video 2954 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 2955 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 2956 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 2957 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 2958 configured panel size. 2959 2960 Please see board_init_f function. 2961 2962- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2963 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2964 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2965 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2966 2967 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2968 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2969 2970- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2971 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2972 2973 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2974 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2975 2976 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2977 2978 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2979 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 2980 2981- UBI support 2982 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 2983 2984 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 2985 with the UBI flash translation layer 2986 2987 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 2988 2989 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 2990 2991 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 2992 warnings and errors enabled. 2993 2994- UBIFS support 2995 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 2996 2997 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 2998 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 2999 3000 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 3001 3002 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3003 3004 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 3005 warnings and errors enabled. 3006 3007- SPL framework 3008 CONFIG_SPL 3009 Enable building of SPL globally. 3010 3011 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 3012 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 3013 3014 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 3015 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 3016 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 3017 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3018 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3019 must not be both defined at the same time. 3020 3021 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 3022 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 3023 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 3024 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 3025 not exceed it. 3026 3027 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 3028 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 3029 3030 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 3031 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 3032 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 3033 3034 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 3035 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 3036 3037 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3038 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 3039 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 3040 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3041 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3042 must not be both defined at the same time. 3043 3044 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 3045 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 3046 3047 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 3048 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 3049 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 3050 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 3051 3052 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 3053 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3054 3055 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 3056 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3057 3058 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 3059 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 3060 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 3061 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 3062 3063 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 3064 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 3065 about the running system. 3066 3067 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 3068 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 3069 3070 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 3071 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 3072 3073 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 3074 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 3075 3076 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 3077 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 3078 3079 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 3080 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 3081 3082 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 3083 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 3084 3085 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3086 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3087 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FAT_BOOT_PARTITION 3088 Address, size and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3089 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3090 3091 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3092 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3093 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3094 3095 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3096 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3097 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3098 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3099 (for falcon mode) 3100 3101 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3102 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3103 3104 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3105 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from FAT 3106 3107 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3108 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3109 from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3110 3111 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3112 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3113 when reading from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3114 3115 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3116 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3117 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3118 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3119 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3120 3121 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3122 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3123 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3124 3125 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3126 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3127 3128 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3129 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3130 3131 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3132 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3133 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3134 3135 CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT 3136 Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for 3137 arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xxx/ddr/libddr.o in SPL binary. 3138 3139 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 3140 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 3141 SPL binary. 3142 3143 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3144 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3145 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3146 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3147 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3148 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3149 to read U-Boot 3150 3151 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3152 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3153 3154 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3155 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3156 3157 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3158 Size of image to load 3159 3160 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3161 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3162 3163 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3164 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3165 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 3166 3167 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3168 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3169 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3170 3171 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3172 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3173 3174 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3175 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3176 3177 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3178 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3179 3180 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3181 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3182 3183 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3184 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3185 3186 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3187 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3188 3189 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3190 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3191 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3192 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3193 3194 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3195 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3196 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3197 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3198 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3199 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3200 3201 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3202 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3203 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3204 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3205 3206 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3207 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3208 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3209 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3210 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3211 3212- TPL framework 3213 CONFIG_TPL 3214 Enable building of TPL globally. 3215 3216 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 3217 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 3218 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3219 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3220 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3221 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3222 3223Modem Support: 3224-------------- 3225 3226[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3227 3228- Modem support enable: 3229 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3230 3231- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3232 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3233 3234- Modem debug support: 3235 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3236 3237 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3238 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3239 3240- Interrupt support (PPC): 3241 3242 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3243 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3244 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3245 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3246 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3247 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3248 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3249 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3250 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3251 general timer_interrupt(). 3252 3253- General: 3254 3255 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3256 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3257 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3258 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3259 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3260 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3261 initialization. 3262 3263 If there are no modem init strings in the 3264 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3265 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3266 suppressed, though. 3267 3268 See also: doc/README.Modem 3269 3270Board initialization settings: 3271------------------------------ 3272 3273During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3274to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3275before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3276following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3277architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3278typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3279 3280- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3281- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3282- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3283- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3284 3285Configuration Settings: 3286----------------------- 3287 3288- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3289 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3290 3291- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3292 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3293 3294- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3295 prompt for user input. 3296 3297- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3298 3299- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3300 3301- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3302 3303- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3304 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3305 booted 3306 3307- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3308 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3309 3310- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3311 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3312 3313- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3314 If the board specific function 3315 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3316 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3317 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3318 3319- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3320 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3321 3322- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3323 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3324 3325- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3326 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3327 simple memory test. 3328 3329- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3330 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3331 3332- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3333 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3334 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3335 3336- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3337 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3338 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3339 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3340 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3341 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3342 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3343 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3344 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3345 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3346 3347 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3348 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3349 be touched. 3350 3351 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3352 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3353 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3354 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3355 problems. 3356 3357- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3358 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3359 3360- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3361 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3362 3363- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3364 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3365 Cogent motherboard) 3366 3367- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3368 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3369 3370- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3371 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3372 make config files to be same as the text base address 3373 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3374 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3375 3376- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3377 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3378 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3379 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3380 flash sector. 3381 3382- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3383 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3384 3385- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3386 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3387 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3388 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3389 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3390 3391- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3392 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3393 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3394 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3395 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3396 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3397 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3398 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3399 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3400 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3401 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3402 3403- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3404 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3405 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3406 is enabled. 3407 3408- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3409 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3410 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3411 3412- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3413 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3414 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3415 3416- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3417 Max number of Flash memory banks 3418 3419- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3420 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3421 3422- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3423 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3424 3425- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3426 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3427 3428- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3429 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3430 3431- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3432 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3433 3434- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3435 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3436 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3437 3438- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3439 3440 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3441 without this option such a download has to be 3442 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3443 copy from RAM to flash. 3444 3445 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3446 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3447 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3448 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3449 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3450 3451- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3452 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3453 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3454 3455- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3456 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3457 in the drivers directory 3458 3459- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3460 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3461 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3462 to the MTD layer. 3463 3464- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3465 Use buffered writes to flash. 3466 3467- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3468 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3469 write commands. 3470 3471- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3472 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3473 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3474 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3475 optionally available. 3476 3477- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3478 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3479 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3480 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3481 3482- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 3483 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 3484 against the source after the write operation. An error message 3485 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 3486 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 3487 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 3488 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 3489 this option if you really know what you are doing. 3490 3491- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3492 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3493 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3494 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3495 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3496 on high Ethernet traffic. 3497 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3498 3499- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3500 3501 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3502 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3503 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3504 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3505 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3506 3507- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3508- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3509 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 3510 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3511 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3512 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3513 3514 The format of the list is: 3515 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3516 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3517 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3518 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3519 list = entry[,list] 3520 3521 The type attributes are: 3522 s - String (default) 3523 d - Decimal 3524 x - Hexadecimal 3525 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3526 i - IP address 3527 m - MAC address 3528 3529 The access attributes are: 3530 a - Any (default) 3531 r - Read-only 3532 o - Write-once 3533 c - Change-default 3534 3535 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3536 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3537 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3538 3539 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3540 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3541 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3542 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 3543 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 3544 ".flags" variable. 3545 3546- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 3547 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 3548 access flags. 3549 3550- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 3551 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 3552 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 3553 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 3554 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 3555 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 3556 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 3557 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 3558 your board please report the problem and send patches! 3559 3560- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS 3561 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols 3562 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an 3563 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than 3564 directly. You should not need to touch this setting. 3565 3566- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 3567 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 3568 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 3569 the value can be calulated on a given board. 3570 3571The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 3572of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 3573following configurations: 3574 3575- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 3576 3577 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 3578 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 3579 3580- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 3581 3582 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 3583 3584 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 3585 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 3586 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 3587 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 3588 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 3589 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 3590 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 3591 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 3592 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 3593 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 3594 between U-Boot and the environment. 3595 3596 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3597 3598 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 3599 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 3600 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 3601 for this sector is given here. 3602 3603 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 3604 3605 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3606 3607 This is just another way to specify the start address of 3608 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 3609 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 3610 3611 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 3612 3613 Size of the sector containing the environment. 3614 3615 3616 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 3617 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 3618 the environment. 3619 3620 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3621 3622 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 3623 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 3624 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 3625 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 3626 3627 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 3628 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 3629 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 3630 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 3631 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 3632 updating the environment in flash makes it always 3633 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 3634 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 3635 RAM, your target system will be dead. 3636 3637 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 3638 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 3639 3640 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 3641 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 3642 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 3643 a "saveenv" operation. 3644 3645BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 3646source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 3647accordingly! 3648 3649 3650- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 3651 3652 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 3653 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 3654 environment. 3655 3656 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3657 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3658 3659 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 3660 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 3661 can just be read and written to, without any special 3662 provision. 3663 3664BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3665in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3666console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3667U-Boot will hang. 3668 3669Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3670environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3671keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3672to save the current settings. 3673 3674 3675- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 3676 3677 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 3678 device and a driver for it. 3679 3680 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3681 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3682 3683 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 3684 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 3685 3686 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 3687 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 3688 The default address is zero. 3689 3690 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 3691 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 3692 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 3693 would require six bits. 3694 3695 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 3696 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 3697 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 3698 3699 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 3700 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 3701 that this is NOT the chip address length! 3702 3703 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 3704 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 3705 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 3706 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 3707 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 3708 byte chips. 3709 3710 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 3711 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 3712 in the chip address. 3713 3714 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 3715 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 3716 3717 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 3718 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 3719 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 3720 3721 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 3722 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 3723 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 3724 EEPROM. For example: 3725 3726 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 3727 3728 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 3729 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 3730 3731- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 3732 3733 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 3734 want to use for the environment. 3735 3736 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3737 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3738 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3739 3740 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 3741 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 3742 at the specified address. 3743 3744- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 3745 3746 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 3747 want to use for the local device's environment. 3748 3749 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3750 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3751 3752 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 3753 environment area within the remote memory space. The 3754 local device can get the environment from remote memory 3755 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 3756 3757BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3758"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3759environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3760but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3761 3762- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 3763 3764 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 3765 for the environment. 3766 3767 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3768 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3769 3770 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3771 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 3772 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3773 3774 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3775 3776 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 3777 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 3778 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 3779 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 3780 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3781 3782 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 3783 3784 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 3785 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 3786 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 3787 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 3788 the range to be avoided. 3789 3790 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 3791 3792 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 3793 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 3794 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 3795 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 3796 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 3797 3798- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3799 3800 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3801 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3802 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3803 3804- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 3805 3806 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 3807 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 3808 accesses, which is important on NAND. 3809 3810 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 3811 3812 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 3813 3814 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 3815 3816 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 3817 environment in. 3818 3819 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 3820 3821 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 3822 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 3823 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 3824 3825 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3826 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3827 3828 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 3829 when storing the env in UBI. 3830 3831- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 3832 3833 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 3834 environment. 3835 3836 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 3837 3838 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 3839 3840 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 3841 3842 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 3843 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 3844 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 3845 3846 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3847 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3848 3849 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3850 area within the specified MMC device. 3851 3852 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 3853 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 3854 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 3855 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 3856 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 3857 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 3858 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 3859 3860 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 3861 MMC sector boundary. 3862 3863 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3864 3865 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 3866 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 3867 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 3868 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 3869 3870 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 3871 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 3872 3873 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 3874 an MMC sector boundary. 3875 3876 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 3877 3878 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 3879 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 3880 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3881 3882- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 3883 3884 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 3885 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 3886 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 3887 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 3888 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 3889 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 3890 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 3891 3892Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3893has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3894created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 3895until then to read environment variables. 3896 3897The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3898is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3899with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3900necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3901"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3902have any device yet where we could complain.] 3903 3904Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3905the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3906use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3907 3908- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3909 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3910 3911 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3912 also needs to be defined. 3913 3914- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3915 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3916 3917- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3918 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3919 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3920 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3921 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3922 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3923 3924- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 3925 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 3926 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 3927 to do this. 3928 3929- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 3930 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 3931 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 3932 present. 3933 3934Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3935--------------------------------------------------- 3936 3937- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3938 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3939 3940- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 3941 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 3942 3943 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 3944 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 3945 the IMMR register after a reset. 3946 3947- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 3948 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 3949 PowerPC SOCs. 3950 3951- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 3952 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 3953 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 3954 3955 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 3956 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 3957 3958- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 3959 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 3960 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 3961 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 3962 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 3963 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 3964 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 3965 3966 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 3967 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 3968 3969- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 3970 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 3971 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 3972 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3973 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3974 3975- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 3976 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 3977 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3978 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3979 3980- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 3981 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 3982 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 3983 3984- Floppy Disk Support: 3985 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 3986 3987 the default drive number (default value 0) 3988 3989 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 3990 3991 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 3992 (default value 1) 3993 3994 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 3995 3996 defines the offset of register from address. It 3997 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 3998 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 3999 4000 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 4001 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 4002 default value. 4003 4004 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 4005 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 4006 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 4007 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 4008 initializations. 4009 4010- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 4011 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 4012 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 4013 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 4014 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 4015 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 4016 is requierd. 4017 4018- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 4019 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 4020 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 4021 4022- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 4023 4024 Start address of memory area that can be used for 4025 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 4026 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 4027 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 4028 will become available only after programming the 4029 memory controller and running certain initialization 4030 sequences. 4031 4032 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 4033 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 4034 - MPC824X: data cache 4035 - PPC4xx: data cache 4036 4037- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 4038 4039 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 4040 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 4041 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 4042 data is located at the end of the available space 4043 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 4044 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 4045 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 4046 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 4047 4048 Note: 4049 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 4050 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 4051 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 4052 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 4053 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 4054 4055- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 4056 4057- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 4058 4059- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 4060 4061- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 4062 4063- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 4064 4065- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 4066 4067- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 4068 SDRAM timing 4069 4070- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 4071 periodic timer for refresh 4072 4073- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 4074 4075- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 4076 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 4077 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 4078 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 4079 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 4080 4081- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 4082 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 4083 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 4084 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 4085 4086- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 4087 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 4088 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 4089 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 4090 4091- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4092 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4093 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 4094 4095- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4096 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4097 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 4098 4099- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4100 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4101 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 4102 4103- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4104 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 4105 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 4106 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 4107 4108- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 4109 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 4110 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 4111 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 4112 cpm_8260.h. 4113 4114- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4115 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 4116 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 4117 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4118 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 4119 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 4120 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 4121 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 4122 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 4123 4124- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 4125 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 4126 required. 4127 4128- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 4129 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 4130 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 4131 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 4132 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4133 by coreboot or similar. 4134 4135- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4136 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4137 4138- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4139 Chip has SRIO or not 4140 4141- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4142 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4143 4144- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4145 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4146 4147- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4148 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4149 4150- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4151 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4152 4153- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4154 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4155 4156- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4157 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4158 4159- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4160 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4161 a 16 bit bus. 4162 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4163 Example of drivers that use it: 4164 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4165 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4166 4167- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4168 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4169 a default value will be used. 4170 4171- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4172 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4173 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4174 4175 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4176 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4177 4178- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4179 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4180 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4181 to something your driver can deal with. 4182 4183- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4184 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4185 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4186 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4187 header files or board specific files. 4188 4189- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4190 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4191 4192- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4193 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4194 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4195 4196- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4197 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4198 4199- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4200 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4201 to the given FEC; i. e. 4202 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4203 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4204 4205 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4206 4207- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4208 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4209 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4210 4211- CONFIG_RMII 4212 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4213 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4214 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4215 4216- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4217 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4218 The syntax is: 4219 4220 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4221 4222 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4223 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4224 area should have. 4225 4226- CONFIG_LOOPW 4227 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4228 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4229 4230- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4231 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4232 "md/mw" commands. 4233 Examples: 4234 4235 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4236 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4237 4238 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4239 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4240 4241 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4242 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4243 4244- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4245 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4246 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4247 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4248 relocate itself into RAM. 4249 4250 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4251 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4252 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4253 these initializations itself. 4254 4255- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4256 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4257 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4258 compiling a NAND SPL. 4259 4260- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 4261 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4262 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 4263 It is loaded by the SPL. 4264 4265- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4266 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4267 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4268 previous 4k of the .text section. 4269 4270- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4271 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4272 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4273 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4274 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4275 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4276 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4277 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4278 4279- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4280 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4281 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4282 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4283 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4284 4285- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4286 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4287 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4288 4289- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4290 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4291 4292 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4293 4294Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4295----------------------------------- 4296 4297The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4298loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4299This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4300are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4301within that device. 4302 4303- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 4304 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 4305 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4306 is also specified. 4307 4308- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 4309 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4310 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4311 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4312 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4313 4314- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 4315 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4316 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 4317 virtual address in NOR flash. 4318 4319- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 4320 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 4321 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 4322 4323- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4324 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4325 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4326 4327- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4328 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4329 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4330 4331- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4332 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4333 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4334 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4335 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4336 master's memory space. 4337 4338Building the Software: 4339====================== 4340 4341Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4342and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4343all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4344(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4345recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4346which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4347 4348If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4349have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4350you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4351Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4352necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4353 4354 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4355 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4356 4357Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4358 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4359 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4360 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4361 4362 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4363 4364 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4365 be executed on computers running Windows. 4366 4367U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4368sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4369is done by typing: 4370 4371 make NAME_config 4372 4373where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4374rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4375 4376Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4377 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4378 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4379 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4380 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4381 4382 make TQM823L_config 4383 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4384 4385 make TQM823L_LCD_config 4386 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4387 4388 etc. 4389 4390 4391Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4392images ready for download to / installation on your system: 4393 4394- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 4395- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 4396- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 4397 4398By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 4399in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 4400this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 4401 44021. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 4403 4404 make O=/tmp/build distclean 4405 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 4406 make O=/tmp/build all 4407 44082. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 4409 4410 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4411 make distclean 4412 make NAME_config 4413 make all 4414 4415Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 4416variable. 4417 4418 4419Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 4420for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 4421native "make". 4422 4423 4424If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 4425to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 4426steps: 4427 44281. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 4429 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 4430 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 44312. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 4432 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 4433 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 44343. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 4435 your board 44363. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 4437 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 44384. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 44395. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 4440 to be installed on your target system. 44416. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 4442 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 4443 4444 4445Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 4446============================================================== 4447 4448If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 4449or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 4450provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 4451the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 4452official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 4453 4454But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 4455cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 4456the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 4457just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 4458for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 4459select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 4460environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 4461you can type 4462 4463 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4464 4465or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 4466 4467 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 4468 4469When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 4470U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 4471setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 4472built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 4473<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 4474location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 4475variable.

Using "setenv" 4554without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 4555environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 4556working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 4557environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 4558 4559Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 4560 4561List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 4562 4563 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 4564 4565 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 4566 4567 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 4568 4569 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 4570 4571 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 4572 4573 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4574 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4575 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 4576 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 4577 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 4578 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 4579 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 4580 bootm_mapsize. 4581 4582 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 4583 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 4584 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 4585 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 4586 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 4587 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 4588 used otherwise. 4589 4590 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4591 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4592 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 4593 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 4594 environment variable. 4595 4596 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 4597 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 4598 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 4599 4600 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 4601 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 4602 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 4603 load any image using TFTP 4604 4605 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 4606 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 4607 be automatically started (by internally calling 4608 "bootm") 4609 4610 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 4611 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 4612 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 4613 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 4614 data. 4615 4616 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 4617 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 4618 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 4619 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 4620 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 4621 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 4622 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 4623 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 4624 access it during the boot procedure. 4625 4626 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 4627 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 4628 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 4629 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 4630 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 4631 must be accessible by the kernel. 4632 4633 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 4634 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 4635 defined. 4636 4637 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 4638 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 4639 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 4640 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 4641 it must be saved and board must be reset. 4642 4643 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 4644 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 4645 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 4646 is usually what you want since it allows for 4647 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 4648 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 4649 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 4650 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 4651 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 4652 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 4653 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 4654 4655 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 4656 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 4657 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 4658 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 4659 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 4660 12 MB as well - this can be done with 4661 4662 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 4663 4664 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 4665 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 4666 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 4667 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 4668 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 4669 boot time on your system, but requires that this 4670 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 4671 4672 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4673 4674 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 4675 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 4676 4677 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 4678 4679 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4680 4681 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 4682 4683 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 4684 4685 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 4686 4687 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 4688 4689 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 4690 For example you can do the following 4691 4692 => setenv ethact FEC 4693 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 4694 => setenv ethact SCC 4695 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 4696 4697 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 4698 available network interfaces. 4699 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 4700 4701 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 4702 either succeed or fail without retrying. 4703 When set to "once" the network operation will 4704 fail when all the available network interfaces 4705 are tried once without success. 4706 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 4707 themselves. 4708 4709 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 4710 4711 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by 4712 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 4713 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 4714 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 4715 is silent. 4716 4717 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 4718 UDP source port. 4719 4720 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 4721 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 4722 4723 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 4724 we use the TFTP server's default block size 4725 4726 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 4727 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 4728 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 4729 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 4730 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 4731 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 4732 with unreliable TFTP servers. 4733 4734 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 4735 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 4736 VLAN tagged frames. 4737 4738The following image location variables contain the location of images 4739used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 4740not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 4741variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 4742server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 4743loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 4744flash or offset in NAND flash. 4745 4746*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 4747boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 4748boards use these variables for other purposes. 4749 4750Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4751----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4752u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4753Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4754device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4755ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4756 4757The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4758updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4759depending the information provided by your boot server: 4760 4761 bootfile - see above 4762 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4763 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4764 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4765 hostname - Target hostname 4766 ipaddr - see above 4767 netmask - Subnet Mask 4768 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4769 serverip - see above 4770 4771 4772There are two special Environment Variables: 4773 4774 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4775 as type string and/or serial number 4776 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4777 4778These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4779the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4780once they have been set once. 4781 4782 4783Further special Environment Variables: 4784 4785 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4786 with the "version" command. This variable is 4787 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4788 4789 4790Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4791only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4792 4793 4794Callback functions for environment variables: 4795--------------------------------------------- 4796 4797For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 4798when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 4799be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 4800deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 4801effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 4802 4803The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 4804U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 4805 4806These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 4807static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 4808in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 4809associations. The list must be in the following format: 4810 4811 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 4812 list = entry[,list] 4813 4814If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 4815Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 4816 4817Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 4818with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 4819override any association in the static list. You can define 4820CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 4821".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4822 4823 4824Command Line Parsing: 4825===================== 4826 4827There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4828the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4829 4830Old, simple command line parser: 4831-------------------------------- 4832 4833- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4834- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4835- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4836- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4837 for example: 4838 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4839- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4840 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4841 4842Hush shell: 4843----------- 4844 4845- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4846 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4847 until...do...done, ... 4848- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4849 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4850 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4851 command 4852 4853General rules: 4854-------------- 4855 4856(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4857 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4858 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4859 executed anyway. 4860 4861(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4862 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4863 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4864 variables are not executed. 4865 4866Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4867======================================= 4868 4869Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4870such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4871"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4872 4873Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4874MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4875"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4876 4877If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4878in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4879ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4880variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4881 4882o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4883 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4884 4885o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4886 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4887 used. 4888 4889o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4890 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4891 4892o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4893 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4894 warning is printed. 4895 4896o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4897 is raised. 4898 4899If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4900will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4901may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4902The naming convention is as follows: 4903"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4904 4905Image Formats: 4906============== 4907 4908U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4909images in two formats: 4910 4911New uImage format (FIT) 4912----------------------- 4913 4914Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4915to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4916components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4917SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4918 4919 4920Old uImage format 4921----------------- 4922 4923Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4924preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4925details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4926 4927* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4928 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4929 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4930 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4931 INTEGRITY). 4932* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4933 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4934 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4935* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4936* Load Address 4937* Entry Point 4938* Image Name 4939* Image Timestamp 4940 4941The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4942and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4943CRC32 checksums. 4944 4945 4946Linux Support: 4947============== 4948 4949Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4950easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4951U-Boot. 4952 4953U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4954special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4955"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4956instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4957serves several purposes: 4958 4959- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4960 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4961 Flash memory footprint) 4962 4963- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4964 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4965 4966- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4967 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4968 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 4969 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 4970 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 4971 software is easier now. 4972 4973 4974Linux HOWTO: 4975============ 4976 4977Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 4978--------------------------------------- 4979 4980U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 4981configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 4982(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 4983Linux :-). 4984 4985But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 4986 4987Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 4988include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 4989Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 4990and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 4991as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 4992 4993 4994Configuring the Linux kernel: 4995----------------------------- 4996 4997No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 4998device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 4999 5000 5001Building a Linux Image: 5002----------------------- 5003 5004With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 5005not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 5006"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 5007U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 5008which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 5009100% compatible format. 5010 5011Example: 5012 5013 make TQM850L_config 5014 make oldconfig 5015 make dep 5016 make uImage 5017 5018The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 5019encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 5020CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 5021 5022* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 5023 5024* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 5025 5026 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 5027 -R .note -R .comment \ 5028 -S vmlinux linux.bin 5029 5030* compress the binary image: 5031 5032 gzip -9 linux.bin 5033 5034* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 5035 5036 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 5037 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 5038 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 5039 5040 5041The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 5042with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 5043combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 5044byte header containing information about target architecture, 5045operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 5046stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 5047 5048"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 5049print the header information, or to build new images. 5050 5051In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 5052contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 5053checksum verification: 5054 5055 tools/mkimage -l image 5056 -l ==> list image header information 5057 5058The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 5059from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 5060 5061 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 5062 -n name -d data_file image 5063 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 5064 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 5065 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5066 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 5067 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 5068 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 5069 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 5070 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 5071 5072Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 5073address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 5074kernel version: 5075 5076- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 5077- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 5078 5079So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 5080 5081 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5082 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 5083 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 5084 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 5085 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5086 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5087 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5088 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5089 Load Address: 0x00000000 5090 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5091 5092To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 5093 5094 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 5095 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5096 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5097 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5098 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5099 Load Address: 0x00000000 5100 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5101 5102NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 5103speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 5104needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 5105need to be uncompressed: 5106 5107 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 5108 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5109 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 5110 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 5111 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 5112 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5113 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5114 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5115 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5116 Load Address: 0x00000000 5117 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5118 5119 5120Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5121when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5122 5123 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5124 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5125 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5126 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 5127 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 5128 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 5129 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 5130 Load Address: 0x00000000 5131 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5132 5133 5134Installing a Linux Image: 5135------------------------- 5136 5137To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 5138you must convert the image to S-Record format: 5139 5140 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 5141 5142The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 5143image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 5144address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 5325 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 5326 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 5327 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 5328 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 5329 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5330 being started. 5331 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5332 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5333 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5334 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5335 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5336 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5337 5338 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5339 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5340 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5341 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5342 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5343 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5344 5345 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5346 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5347 flash memory. 5348 5349 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5350 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5351 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5352 as command interpreter. 5353 5354Booting the Linux zImage: 5355------------------------- 5356 5357On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5358using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5359as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5360 5361Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 5362kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5363address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5364format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5365 5366 5367Standalone HOWTO: 5368================= 5369 5370One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5371run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5372U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5373 5374Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5375 5376"Hello World" Demo: 5377------------------- 5378 5379'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 5380application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 5381It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 5382like that: 5383 5384 => loads 5385 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5386 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 5387 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5388 [file transfer complete] 5389 [connected] 5390 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5391 5392 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 5413controlled by the following keys: 5414 5415 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 5416 b - enable interrupts and start timer 5417 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 5418 q - quit application 5419 5420 => loads 5421 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5422 ~>examples/timer.srec 5423 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5424 [file transfer complete] 5425 [connected] 5426 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5427 5428 => go 40004 5429 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 5430 TIMERS=0xfff00980 5431 Using timer 1 5432 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 5433 5434Hit 'b': 5435 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 5436 Enabling timer 5437Hit '?': 5438 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 5439 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 5440Hit '?': 5441 [q, b, e, ?] . 5442 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 5443Hit '?': 5444 [q, b, e, ?] . 5445 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 5446Hit '?': 5447 [q, b, e, ?] . 5448 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 5449Hit 'e': 5450 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 5451Hit 'q': 5452 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 5453 5454 5455Minicom warning: 5456================ 5457 5458Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 5459"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 5460consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 5461Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 5462especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 5463use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 5464http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 5465for help with kermit. 5466 5467 5468Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 5469configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 5470 5471 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 5488 5489 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 5490 # mkdir powerpc 5491 # ln -s powerpc machine 5492 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 5493 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 5494 5495Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 5496and U-Boot include files. 5497 5498Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 5499stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 5500proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 5501tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 5502meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 5503 5504 5505Implementation Internals: 5506========================= 5507 5508The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 5509implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 5510inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 5511hardware. 5512 5513 5514Initial Stack, Global Data: 5515--------------------------- 5516 5517The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 5518starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 5519system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 5520This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 5521is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 5522at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 5523options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 5524models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 5525MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 5526locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 5527 5528 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 5529 U-Boot mailing list: 5530 5531 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 5532 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 5533 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 5534 ... 5535 5536 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 5537 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 5538 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 5539 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 5540 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 5541 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 5542 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 5543 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 5544 5545 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 5546 is another option for the system designer to use as an 5547 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 5548 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 5549 board designers haven't used it for something that would 5550 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 5551 used. 5552 5553 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 5554 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 5555 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 5556 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 5557 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 5558 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 5559 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 5560 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 5561 you get the config right. 5562 5563 -Chris Hallinan 5564 DS4.COM, Inc. 5565 5566It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 5567code for the initialization procedures: 5568 5569* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 5570 to write it. 5571 5572* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 5573 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 5574 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 5575 5576* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 5577 that. 5578 5579Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 5580normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 5581turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 5582simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 5583functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 5584functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 5585the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 5586place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 5587reserve for this purpose. 5588 5589When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 5590relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 5591GCC's implementation. 5592 5593For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 5594 R1: stack pointer 5595 R2: reserved for system use 5596 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 5597 R5-R10: parameter passing 5598 R13: small data area pointer 5599 R30: GOT pointer 5600 R31: frame pointer 5601 5602 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 5603 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 5604 going back and forth between asm and C) 5605 5606 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 5607 5608 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 5609 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 5610 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 5611 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 5612 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 5613 624 text + 127 data). 5614 5615On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 5616 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 5617 5618 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 5619 5620On ARM, the following registers are used: 5621 5622 R0: function argument word/integer result 5623 R1-R3: function argument word 5624 R9: platform specific 5625 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 5626 R11: argument (frame) pointer 5627 R12: temporary workspace 5628 R13: stack pointer 5629 R14: link register 5630 R15: program counter 5631 5632 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 5633 5634 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 5635 5636On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 5637 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 5638 5639 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 5640 5641 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 5642 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 5643 5644On NDS32, the following registers are used: 5645 5646 R0-R1: argument/return 5647 R2-R5: argument 5648 R15: temporary register for assembler 5649 R16: trampoline register 5650 R28: frame pointer (FP) 5651 R29: global pointer (GP) 5652 R30: link register (LP) 5653 R31: stack pointer (SP) 5654 PC: program counter (PC) 5655 5656 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 5657 5658NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 5659or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 5660 5661Memory Management: 5662------------------ 5663 5664U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 5665MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 5666 5667The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 5668controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 5669memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 5670physical memory banks. 5671 5672U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 5673TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 5674booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 5675to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 5676memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 5677configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 5678Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 5679 5680Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 5681of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 5682 5683So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 5684this: 5685 5686 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 5687 : 5688 0x0000 1FFF 5689 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 5690 : 5691 : 5692 5693 : 5694 : 5695 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 5696 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 5697 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 5698 : 5699 0x00FD FFFF 5700 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 5701 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 5702 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 5703 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 5704 5705 5706System Initialization: 5707---------------------- 5708 5709In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 5710(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 5711configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 5712To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 5713To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 5714initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 5715which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 5716part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 5717the caches and the SIU. 5718 5719Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 5720preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 5721(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 5722on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 5723programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 5724simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 5725banks. 5726 5727When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 5728different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 5729bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 57300x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 5731contiguous memory starting from 0. 5732 5733Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 5734and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 5735Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 5736pages, and the final stack is set up. 5737 5738Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 5739until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 5740running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 5741new address in RAM. 5742 5743 5744U-Boot Porting Guide: 5745---------------------- 5746 5747[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 5748list, October 2002] 5749 5750 5751int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 5752{ 5753 sighandler_t no_more_time; 5754 5755 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 5756 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 5757 5758 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 5759 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 5760 return 0; 5761 } 5762 5763 Download latest U-Boot source; 5764 5765 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 5766 5767 if (clueless) 5768 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 5769 5770 while (learning) { 5771 Read the README file in the top level directory; 5772 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 5773 Read applicable doc/*.README; 5774 Read the source, Luke; 5775 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 5776 } 5777 5778 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 5779 Buy a BDI3000; 5780 else 5781 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 5782 5783 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 5784 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 5785 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5786 } else { 5787 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5788 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5789 } 5790 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5791 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5792 5793 while (!accepted) { 5794 while (!running) { 5795 do { 5796 Add / modify source code; 5797 } until (compiles); 5798 Debug; 5799 if (clueless) 5800 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5801 } 5802 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5803 if (reasonable critiques) 5804 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5805 else 5806 Defend code as written; 5807 } 5808 5809 return 0; 5810} 5811 5812void no_more_time (int sig) 5813{ 5814 hire_a_guru(); 5815} 5816 5817 5818Coding Standards: 5819----------------- 5820 5821All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5822coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5823"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5824 5825Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5826MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5827reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5828sources. 5829 5830Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5831Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5832in your code. 5833 5834Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5835- remove any trailing white space 5836- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5837- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5838- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5839- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5840 5841Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5842with a request to reformat the changes. 5843 5844 5845Submitting Patches: 5846------------------- 5847 5848Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5849establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5850may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5851 5852Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5853 5854Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5855see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5856 5857When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5858it: 5859 5860* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5861 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5862 patch actually fixes something. 5863 5864* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5865 implementation. 5866 5867* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5868 5869* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5870 5871* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a 5872 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. 5873 5874* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5875 document these in the README file. 5876 5877* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5878 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5879 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5880 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5881 with some other mail clients. 5882 5883 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5884 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5885 GNU diff. 5886 5887 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5888 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5889 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5890 affected files). 5891 5892 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5893 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5894 5895* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5896 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5897 5898* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5899 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5900 5901 5902Notes: 5903 5904* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5905 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5906 for any of the boards. 5907 5908* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5909 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5910 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5911 5912* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5913 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5914 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5915 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5916 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5917 modification. 5918 5919* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5920 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5921 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5922 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5923
