8Summary:
9========
10
11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. 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 file to find out who contributed
38the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.
41
42Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the
43actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically
44from the Git log using:
45
46	make CHANGELOG

170
171Software Configuration:
172=======================
173
174Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
175rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
176
177There are two classes of configuration variables:
178
179* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
180  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
181  "CONFIG_".
182
183* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
184  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
185  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
186  "CONFIG_SYS_".
187
188Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
189symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
190U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
191allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
192build.
193
194
195Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
196---------------------------------------------------
197
198For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
199configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
200
201Example: For a TQM823L module type:
202
203	cd u-boot
204	make TQM823L_defconfig
205
206Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
207you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
208doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
209
210Sandbox Environment:
211--------------------
212
213U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
214board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
215specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
216run some of U-Boot's tests.
217
218See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
219
220
221Board Initialisation Flow:
222--------------------------
223
224This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
225SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
226
227Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
228more detail later in this file.
229
230At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
231and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
232may not conform to this.  At least most ARM boards which use
233CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
234
235Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
236CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
237
238	- arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
239	- arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
240	- arch/mips/cpu/start.S
241
242and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
243limitations of each of these functions are described below.
244
245lowlevel_init():
246	- purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
247	- no global_data or BSS
248	- there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
249	- must not set up SDRAM or use console
250	- must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
251		board_init_f()
252	- this is almost never needed
253	- return normally from this function
254
255board_init_f():
256	- purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
257		i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
258	- global_data is available
259	- stack is in SRAM
260	- BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
261		only stack variables and global_data
262
263	Non-SPL-specific notes:
264	- dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
265		can do nothing
266
267	SPL-specific notes:
268	- you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
269		version as needed.
270	- preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
271	- should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
272	- these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
273	- must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
274		directly)
275
276Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
277this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
278CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
279memory.
280
281board_init_r():
282	- purpose: main execution, common code
283	- global_data is available
284	- SDRAM is available
285	- BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
286	- execution eventually continues to main_loop()
287
288	Non-SPL-specific notes:
289	- U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
290		there.
291
292	SPL-specific notes:
293	- stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
294		CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
295	- preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
296		done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
297		spl_board_init() function containing this call
298	- loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

302Configuration Options:
303----------------------
304
305Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
306such information is kept in a configuration file
307"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
308
309Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
310"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
311
312
313Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
314kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
315build a config tool - later.
316
317
318The following options need to be configured:
319
320- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
321
322- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
323
324- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
325		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
326
327- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
328		Define exactly one of
329		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
330--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
331		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
332		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
333
334- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
335		Define exactly one of
336		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
337
338- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
339		Define one or more of
340		CONFIG_CMA302
341
342- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
343		Define one or more of
344		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
345					  the LCD display every second with
346					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
347
348- Marvell Family Member
349		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
350					  multiple fs option at one time
351					  for marvell soc family
352
353- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
354		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
355					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
356					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
357					  reference PIT/RTC clock
358		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
359					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
360
361- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
362		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
363		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
364		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
365			See doc/README.MPC866
366
367		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
368
369		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
370		of relying on the correctness of the configured
371		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
372		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
373		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
374		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
375
376		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
377
378		Define this option if you want to enable the
379		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
380
381- 85xx CPU Options:
382		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
383
384		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
385		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
386		compliance, among other possible reasons.
387
388		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
389
390		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
391		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
392		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
393
394		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
395
396		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
397		tree nodes for the given platform.
398
399		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
400
401		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
402		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
403		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
404		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
405		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
406		purpose.
407
408		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
409
410		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
411		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
412		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
413
414		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
415		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
416
417		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
418		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
419
420		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
421		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
422		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
423		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
424
425		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
426		this erratum.
427
428		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
429		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
430		required during NOR boot.
431
432		CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
433		Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
434		required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
435
436		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
437
438		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
439		according to the A004510 workaround.
440
441		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
442		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
443		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
444
445		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
446		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
447		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
448
449		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
450		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
451		connected to the DSP core.
452
453		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
454		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
455
456		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
457		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
458		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
459		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
460
461		CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
462		This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
463		time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
464
465		CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
466		Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
467		supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
468
469- Generic CPU options:
470		CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
471		Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
472		If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
473		generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
474		should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
475
476		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
477
478		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
479		values is arch specific.
480
481		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR
482		Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is
483		found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core

510		Freescale DDR1 or DDR2 controllers, depending on the board
511		implemetation.
512
513		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2
514		Board config to use DDR2. It can be eanbeld for SoCs with
515		Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board

555		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_SDRAM_BASE_PHY
556		Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the
557		same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for  all Power SoCs. But
558		it could be different for ARM SoCs.
559
560		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B
561		DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special
562		interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape
563		SoCs with ARM core.
564
565		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_MAIN_NUM_CTRLS
566		Number of controllers used as main memory.
567
568		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_OTHER_DDR_NUM_CTRLS

575		Defines the SEC controller register space as Big Endian
576
577		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE
578		Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian
579
580- Intel Monahans options:
581		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
582
583		Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
584		ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
585		frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
586
587		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
588
589		Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
590		ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
591		2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
592		by this value.
593
594- MIPS CPU options:
595		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
596
597		Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
598		pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
599		relocation.
600
601		CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
602
603		Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
604		See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
605		Possible values are:
606			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
607			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
608			CONF_CM_UNCACHED
609			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT

611			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
612			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
613			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
614
615		CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
616
617		Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
618		See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
619
620		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
621
622		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
623		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
624		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
625
626- ARM options:
627		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
628
629		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
630		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
631
632		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
633
634		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
635		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
636		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
637		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
638		GCC.
639
640		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
641		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
642		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
643		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
644		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
645		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_773022
646		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_774769
647		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
648
649		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
650		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
651		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
652		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
653		set these options unless they apply!
654
655		COUNTER_FREQUENCY
656		Generic timer clock source frequency.
657
658		COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
659		Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
660		different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
661		at run time.
662
663		NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
664		do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
665		specific checks, but expect no product checks.
666		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
667		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
668		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
669		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
670		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_801819
671
672- Tegra SoC options:
673		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
674
675		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
676		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
677		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
678
679- Linux Kernel Interface:
680		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
681
682		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
683		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
684		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
685		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
686		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
687		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
688		Linux kernel.
689		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
690		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
691		default environment.
692
693		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
694
695		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
696		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
697		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
698
699		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
700
701		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
702		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
703		concepts).
704
705		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
706		 * New libfdt-based support
707		 * Adds the "fdt" command
708		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
709
710		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
711			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
712		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
713			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
714		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
715		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
716
717		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
718		addresses
719
720		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
721
722		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
723		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
724
725		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
726
727		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
728		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
729		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
730		the kernel.
731
732		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
733
734		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
735		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
736
737		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
738
739		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
740		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
741		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
742		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
743		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
744		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
745
746		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
747
748		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
749		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
750		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
751		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
752		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
753		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
754		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
755
756- vxWorks boot parameters:
757
758		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
759		environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
760		serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
761		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
762
763		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
764		the defaults discussed just above.
765
766- Cache Configuration:
767		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
768		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
769		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
770
771- Cache Configuration for ARM:
772		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
773				      controller
774		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
775					controller register space
776
777- Serial Ports:
778		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
779
780		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
781
782		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
783
784		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
785
786		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
787
788		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
789		the clock speed of the UARTs.
790
791		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
792
793		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
794		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
795		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
796
797		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
798
799		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
800		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
801
802- Console Interface:
803		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
804		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
805		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
806		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
807
808		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
809		port routines must be defined elsewhere
810		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
811
812		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
813		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
814		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
815			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
816						(default big endian)
817			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
818						rectangle fill
819						(cf. smiLynxEM)
820			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
821						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
822			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
823						(cols=pitch)
824			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
825			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
826			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
827						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
828			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
829			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
830						(i.e. rx51_kp_init())
831			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
832						(i.e. rx51_kp_tstc)
833			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
834						(i.e. rx51_kp_getc)
835			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
836						upper left corner
837			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
838						linux_logo.h for logo.
839						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
840			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
841						additional board info beside
842						the logo
843
844		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
845		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
846		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
847
848		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
849		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
850		environment 'console=serial'.
851
852		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
853		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
854		the "silent" environment variable. See
855		doc/README.silent for more information.
856
857		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
858			is 0x00.
859		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
860			is 0xa0.
861
862- Console Baudrate:
863		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
864		Select one of the baudrates listed in
865		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
866		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
867
868- Console Rx buffer length
869		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
870		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
871		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
872		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
873		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
874		the SMC.
875
876- Pre-Console Buffer:
877		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
878		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
879		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
880		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
881		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
882		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
883		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
884		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
885		earlier bytes are discarded.
886
887		Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
888		stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
889
890		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
891		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
892
893- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
894		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
895		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
896		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
897		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
898
899		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
900		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
901		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
902		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
903		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
904		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
905		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
906		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
907		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
908		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
909
910- Autoboot Command:
911		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
912		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
913		define a command string that is automatically executed
914		when no character is read on the console interface
915		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
916
917		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
918		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
919		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
920		environment value "bootargs".
921
922		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
923		The value of these goes into the environment as
924		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
925		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
926		RAM and NFS.
927
928- Bootcount:
929		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
930		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
931		cycle, see:
932		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
933
934		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
935		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
936		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
937		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
938		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
939		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
940		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
941		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
942		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
943
944- Pre-Boot Commands:
945		CONFIG_PREBOOT
946
947		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
948		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
949		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
950		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
951		entering interactive mode.
952
953		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
954		automatically generated or modified. For an example
955		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
956		modified when the user holds down a certain
957		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
958		booting the systems
959
960- Serial Download Echo Mode:
961		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
962		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
963		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
964		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
965		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
966		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
967		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
968
969- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
970		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
971		Select one of the baudrates listed in
972		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
973
974- Monitor Functions:
975		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
976		from the build by using the #include files
977		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
978		commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
979
980		The default command configuration includes all commands
981		except those marked below with a "*".
982

1090		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1091		support you can write:
1092
1093		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1094		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1095
1096	Other Commands:
1097		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1098
1099	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1100		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1101		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1102		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1103		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1104		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1105		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1106		initial stack and some data.
1107
1108
1109		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1110
1111- Regular expression support:
1112		CONFIG_REGEX
1113		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1114		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1115		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1116		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1117
1118- Device tree:
1119		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1120		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1121		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1122		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1123		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1124		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1125
1126		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1127		be done using one of the two options below:
1128
1129		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1130		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1131		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1132		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1133		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1134		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1135
1136		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1137		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1138		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1139		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1140
1141			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1142
1143		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1144		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1145		still use the individual files if you need something more
1146		exotic.
1147
1148- Watchdog:
1149		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1150		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1151		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1152		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1153		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1154		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1155		available, then no further board specific code should
1156		be needed to use it.
1157
1158		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1159		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1160		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1161		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1162
1163		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1164		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1165
1166- U-Boot Version:
1167		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1168		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1169		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1170		version as printed by the "version" command.
1171		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1172		next reset.
1173
1174- Real-Time Clock:
1175
1176		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1177		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1178		following options:
1179
1180		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1181		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1182		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1183		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1184		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1185		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1186		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1187		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1188		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1189		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1190		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1191		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1192		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1193					  RV3029 RTC.
1194
1195		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1196		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1197
1198- GPIO Support:
1199		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1200
1201		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1202		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1203		pins supported by a particular chip.
1204
1205		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1206		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1207
1208- I/O tracing:
1209		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1210		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1211		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1212		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1213		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1214		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1215		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1216		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1217
1218		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1219		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1220		still continue to operate.
1221
1222			iotrace is enabled
1223			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1224			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1225			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
1226			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
1227			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
1228			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
1229
1230- Timestamp Support:
1231
1232		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1233		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1234		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1235		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1236
1237- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1238		Zero or more of the following:
1239		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1240		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1241				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1242		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1243		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1244				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1245				       disk/part_efi.c
1246		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1247
1248		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1249		CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1250		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1251
1252- IDE Reset method:
1253		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1254		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1255
1256		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1257		be performed by calling the function
1258			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1259		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1260
1261- ATAPI Support:
1262		CONFIG_ATAPI
1263
1264		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1265
1266- LBA48 Support
1267		CONFIG_LBA48
1268
1269		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1270		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1271		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1272		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1273
1274		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1275			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1276			Default is 32bit.
1277
1278- SCSI Support:
1279		At the moment only there is only support for the
1280		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1281		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.

1283		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1284		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1285		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1286		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1287		devices.
1288		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)

1494		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1495		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1496		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1497		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1498		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1499		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1500		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1501		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1502		a Linux host by
1503		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1504		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1505		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1506		might be defined in YourBoardName.h

1514
1515			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1516			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1517			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1518			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1519			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1520			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1521			speed.
1522
1523			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1524			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1525			be set to usbtty.

1536		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1537		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1538		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1539		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1540		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1541		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1542
1543			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1544			Define this string as the name of your company for
1545			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1546
1547			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1548			Define this string as the name of your product
1549			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1550
1551			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1552			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1553			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1554			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1555			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1556
1557			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1558			Define this as the unique Product ID
1559			for your device
1560			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1561
1562- ULPI Layer Support:
1563		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1564		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1565		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1566		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1567		viewport is supported.
1568		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1569		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1570		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1571		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1572		the appropriate value in Hz.
1573
1574- MMC Support:
1575		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1576		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1577		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1578		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1579		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1580		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1581
1582		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1583		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1584
1585			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1586			Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1587
1588			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1589			Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1590
1591		CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC
1592		Enable the generic MMC driver
1593
1594		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1595		Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1596
1597		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1598		Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1599		key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1600
1601- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1602		CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1603		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1604
1605		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1606		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1607		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1608		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1609		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1610
1611		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1612		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1613
1614		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1615		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1616
1617		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1618		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1619		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1620		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1621		one that would help mostly the developer.
1622
1623		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1624		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1625		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1626		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1627		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1628
1629		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1630		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1631		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1632		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1633		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1634		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1635
1636		DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1637		Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1638		host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1639		a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1640
1641		DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1642		Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1643		entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1644		sending again an USB request to the device.
1645
1646- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1647		CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1648		This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1649
1650		CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1651		This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1652		fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1653		protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1654		used on Android devices.
1655		See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1656
1657		CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1658		This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1659		image format header.
1660
1661		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1662		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1663		downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1664		downloaded images.
1665
1666		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1667		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1668		downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1669		platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1670
1671		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1672		The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1673		the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1674		this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1675
1676		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1677		The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1678		regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1679		the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1680
1681		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1682		The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1683		image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1684		Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1685		to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1686		This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1687		"fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1688		Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1689
1690- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1691		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1692		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1693		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1694
1695		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1696		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1697		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1698
1699		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1700		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1701		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1702
1703		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1704		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1705		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1706		have not defined a custom partition
1707
1708- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1709		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1710
1711		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1712		file in FAT formatted partition.
1713
1714		This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1715		user to write files to FAT.
1716
1717CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1718		CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1719
1720		Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1721		filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1722		and cbfsload.
1723
1724- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1725		CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1726
1727		Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1728		a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1729
1730- Keyboard Support:
1731		See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1732
1733		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1734
1735		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1736		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1737		defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1738		and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1739		instead.
1740
1741- Video support:
1742		CONFIG_VIDEO
1743
1744		Define this to enable video support (for output to
1745		video).
1746
1747		CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1748
1749		Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1750
1751		CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1752		Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1753		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1754		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1755		assumed.
1756
1757		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1758		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1759		are possible:
1760		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1761		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1762
1763		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1764		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1765		      8 bits |	0x301*	0x303	 0x305	  0x161	    0x307
1766		     15 bits |	0x310	0x313	 0x316	  0x162	    0x319
1767		     16 bits |	0x311	0x314	 0x317	  0x163	    0x31A
1768		     24 bits |	0x312	0x315	 0x318	    ?	    0x31B
1769		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1770		(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1771
1772		- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1773		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1774
1775
1776		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1777		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1778		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1779		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1780
1781		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1782		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1783		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1784		support, and should also define these other macros:
1785
1786			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1787			CONFIG_VIDEO
1788			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1789			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1790			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1791			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1792			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1793			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1794
1795		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1796		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1797		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1798		description of this variable.
1799
1800- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1801
1802		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1803		display); also select one of the supported displays
1804		by defining one of these:
1805
1806		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1807
1808			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1809
1810		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1811
1812			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1813
1814		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1815
1816			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1817			Active, color, single scan.
1818
1819		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1820
1821			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1822			Active, color, single scan.
1823
1824		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1825
1826			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1827			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1828
1829		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1830
1831			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1832			Active, color, single scan.
1833
1834		CONFIG_HLD1045
1835
1836			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1837			Active, color, single scan.
1838
1839		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1840
1841			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1842			or
1843			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1844			or
1845			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1846
1847			320x240. Black & white.
1848
1849		Normally display is black on white background; define
1850		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1851
1852		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1853
1854		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1855		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1856		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1857		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1858		a per-section basis.
1859
1860		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1861
1862		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1863		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1864		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1865		is slow.
1866
1867		CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1868
1869		Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1870		mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1871		we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1872		framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1873		printed out.
1874		Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1875		initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1876		"vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1877		The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1878		fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1879		0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1880		1 = 90 degree rotation
1881		2 = 180 degree rotation
1882		3 = 270 degree rotation
1883
1884		If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1885		initialized with 0degree rotation.
1886
1887		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1888
1889		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1890
1891		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1892
1893		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1894		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1895
1896- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1897
1898		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1899		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1900		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1901		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1902		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1903		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1904		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1905		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1906
1907		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1908
1909		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1910		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1911		(see README.displaying-bmps).
1912		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1913		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1914		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1915		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1916		there is no need to set this option.
1917
1918		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1919
1920		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1921		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1922		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1923		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1924		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1925		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1926
1927		Example:
1928		setenv splashpos m,m
1929			=> image at center of screen
1930
1931		setenv splashpos 30,20
1932			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1933
1934		setenv splashpos -10,m
1935			=> vertically centered image
1936			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1937
1938- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1939
1940		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1941		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1942		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1943
1944- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1945
1946		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1947		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1948		bmp command.
1949
1950- Do compressing for memory range:
1951		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1952
1953		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1954		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1955
1956- Compression support:
1957		CONFIG_GZIP
1958
1959		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1960
1961		CONFIG_BZIP2
1962
1963		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1964		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1965		compressed images are supported.
1966
1967		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1968		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1969		be at least 4MB.
1970
1971		CONFIG_LZMA
1972
1973		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1974		images is included.
1975
1976		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1977		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1978		formula:
1979
1980			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1981
1982		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1983		and Literal pos bits.
1984
1985		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1986		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1987		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1988		a very small buffer.
1989
1990		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1991		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1992		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1993
1994		CONFIG_LZO
1995
1996		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1997		is included.
1998
1999- MII/PHY support:
2000		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2001
2002		The address of PHY on MII bus.
2003
2004		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2005
2006		The clock frequency of the MII bus
2007
2008		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2009
2010		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
2011		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
2012
2013		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2014
2015		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2016		reset before any MII register access is possible.
2017		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2018		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2019
2020		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2021
2022		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2023		command issued before MII status register can be read
2024
2025- IP address:
2026		CONFIG_IPADDR
2027
2028		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
2029		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
2030		determined through e.g. bootp.
2031		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
2032
2033- Server IP address:
2034		CONFIG_SERVERIP
2035
2036		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
2037		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
2038		(Environment variable "serverip")
2039
2040		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2041
2042		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2043		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2044
2045- Gateway IP address:
2046		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2047
2048		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2049		default router where packets to other networks are
2050		sent to.
2051		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
2052
2053- Subnet mask:
2054		CONFIG_NETMASK
2055
2056		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2057		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2058		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2059		forwarded through a router.
2060		(Environment variable "netmask")
2061
2062- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2063		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2064
2065		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2066		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
2067		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
2068		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2069		multicast group.
2070
2071- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2072		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2073
2074		If you have many targets in a network that try to
2075		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2076		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2077		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2078		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2079		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2080		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2081		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2082		following delays are inserted then:
2083
2084		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
2085		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
2086		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
2087		4th and following
2088		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
2089
2090		CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2091
2092		BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2093		server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2094		U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2095		an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2096		aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2097		ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2098		respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2099		takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2100		time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2101		to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2102		retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2103		IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2104		cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2105		requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2106		from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2107
2108- DHCP Advanced Options:
2109		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2110		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2111
2112		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2113		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2114		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2115		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2116		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2117		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2118		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2119		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2120		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2121		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2122		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2123		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2124		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2125
2126		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2127		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2128
2129		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2130		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2131		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
2132		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2133		is not available.
2134
2135		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2136		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2137		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2138		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2139		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2140		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2141		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2142		is defined.
2143
2144		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2145		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2146		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2147		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2148		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2149		option 12 to the DHCP server.
2150
2151		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2152
2153		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2154		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2155		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2156		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2157		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2158		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2159		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2160		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2161		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2162		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2163		this delay.
2164
2165 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2166		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2167		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2168		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2169		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2170
2171		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2172
2173 - CDP Options:
2174		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2175
2176		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2177
2178		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2179
2180		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2181		of the device.
2182
2183		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2184
2185		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2186		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2187		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2188
2189		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2190
2191		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2192		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2193
2194		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2195
2196		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2197
2198		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2199
2200		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2201
2202		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2203
2204		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2205
2206		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2207
2208		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2209		device in .1 of milliwatts.
2210
2211		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2212
2213		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2214
2215- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2216
2217		Several configurations allow to display the current
2218		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2219		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2220		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2221		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2222		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2223		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2224		feature in U-Boot.
2225
2226		Additional options:
2227
2228		CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2229		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2230		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2231		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2232		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2233
2234		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2235		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2236		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2237		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2238		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2239		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2240
2241- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2242
2243		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2244		on those systems that support this (optional)
2245		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2246
2247- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2248
2249		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2250		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2251		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2252		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2253		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2254		interface.

2276		    bus.
2277		  - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define

2389
2390		additional defines:
2391
2392		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2393		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you
2394		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2395		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2396		omit this define.
2397
2398		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2399		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2400		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2401		omit this define.
2402
2403		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2404		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2405		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2406		define.
2407
2408		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2409		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2410		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2411		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2412		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2413
2414		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2415					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2416					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2417					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2418					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2419					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2420					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2421					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2422					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2423					}
2424
2425		which defines
2426			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2427			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2428			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2

2434			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2435
2436		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2437
2438- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2439
2440		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2441		provides the following compelling advantages:
2442
2443		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2444		- approved multibus support
2445		- better i2c mux support
2446
2447		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2448
2449		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2450		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2451		for the selected CPU.
2452
2453		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2454		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2455		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2456		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2457		command line interface.
2458
2459		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2460
2461		There are several other quantities that must also be
2462		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2463
2464		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2465		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2466		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2467		the CPU's i2c node address).
2468
2469		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2470		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2471		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2472		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2473		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2474
2475		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2476
2477		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2478		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2479		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2480		commands until the slave device responds.
2481
2482		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2483
2484		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2485		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2486		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2487
2488		I2C_INIT
2489
2490		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2491		controller or configure ports.
2492
2493		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2494
2495		I2C_PORT
2496
2497		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2498		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2499		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2500
2501		I2C_ACTIVE
2502
2503		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2504		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2505		define can be null.
2506
2507		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2508
2509		I2C_TRISTATE
2510
2511		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2512		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2513		define can be null.
2514
2515		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2516
2517		I2C_READ
2518
2519		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2520		false if it is low.
2521
2522		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2523
2524		I2C_SDA(bit)
2525
2526		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2527		is false, it clears it (low).
2528
2529		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2530			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2531			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2532
2533		I2C_SCL(bit)
2534
2535		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2536		is false, it clears it (low).
2537
2538		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2539			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2540			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2541
2542		I2C_DELAY
2543
2544		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2545		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2546		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2547		like:
2548
2549		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2550
2551		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2552
2553		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2554		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2555		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2556		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2557
2558		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2559		the generic GPIO functions.
2560
2561		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2562
2563		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2564		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2565		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2566		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2567		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2568		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2569		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2570		is run early in the boot sequence.
2571
2572		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2573
2574		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2575		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2576		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2577		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2578		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2579		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2580		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2581		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2582
2583		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2584
2585		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2586		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2587		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2588
2589		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2590
2591		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2592		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2593		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2594		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2595
2596		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2597
2598		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2599		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2600		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2601		a 1D array of device addresses
2602
2603		e.g.
2604			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2605			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2606
2607		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2608
2609			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2610			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2611
2612		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2613
2614		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2615
2616		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2617		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2618
2619		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2620
2621		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2622		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2623
2624		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2625
2626		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2627		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2628
2629		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2630
2631		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2632		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2633		specified DTT device.
2634
2635		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2636
2637		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2638		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2639		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2640		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2641		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2642		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2643		the other.
2644
2645- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2646
2647		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2648		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2649		D/As on the SACSng board)
2650
2651		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2652
2653		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2654		only SH7757 is supported.
2655
2656		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2657
2658		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2659		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2660		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2661		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2662		defined, the board configuration must define several
2663		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2664		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2665
2666		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2667
2668		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2669		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2670		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2671		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2672		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2673
2674		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2675
2676		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2677		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2678
2679		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2680		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2681		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2682
2683- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2684
2685		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2686
2687		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2688
2689		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2690		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2691
2692		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2693
2694		Enables support for FPGA family.
2695		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2696
2697		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2698
2699		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2700
2701		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2702
2703		Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2704
2705		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2706
2707		Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2708
2709		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2710
2711		Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2712		(Xilinx only)
2713
2714		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2715
2716		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2717
2718		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2719
2720		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2721		status by the configuration function. This option
2722		will require a board or device specific function to
2723		be written.
2724
2725		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2726
2727		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2728		configuration driver.
2729
2730		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2731		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2732
2733		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2734
2735		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2736		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2737		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2738		indicated a CRC error).
2739
2740		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2741
2742		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2743		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2744		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2745		ms.
2746
2747		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2748
2749		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2750		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2751
2752		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2753
2754		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2755		200 ms.
2756
2757- Configuration Management:
2758		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2759
2760		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2761		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2762		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2763		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2764		make / MAKEALL.
2765
2766		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2767
2768		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2769		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2770
2771- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2772
2773		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2774		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2775		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2776		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2777		protects these variables from casual modification by
2778		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2779		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2780		change this behaviour:
2781
2782		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2783		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2784		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2785		these parameters.
2786
2787		Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2788		default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2789		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2790		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2791		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2792		read-only.]
2793
2794		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2795		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2796		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2797		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2798
2799- Protected RAM:
2800		CONFIG_PRAM
2801
2802		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2803		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2804		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2805		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2806		this default value by defining an environment
2807		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2808		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2809		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2810		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2811		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2812		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2813		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2814
2815			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2816			saveenv
2817
2818		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2819		either, which results in a memory region that will
2820		not be affected by reboots.
2821
2822		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2823		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2824		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2825		following board configurations are known to be
2826		"pRAM-clean":
2827
2828			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2829			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2830			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2831
2832- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2833		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2834		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2835		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2836		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2837		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2838		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2839
2840- Error Recovery:
2841		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2842
2843		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2844		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2845		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2846		system where you want the system to reboot
2847		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2848		useful during development since you can try to debug
2849		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2850
2851		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2852
2853		This variable defines the number of retries for
2854		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2855		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2856		default value of 5 is used.
2857
2858		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2859
2860		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2861
2862		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2863
2864		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2865		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2866		try longer timeout such as
2867		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2868
2869- Command Interpreter:
2870		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2871
2872		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2873
2874		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2875
2876		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2877		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2878		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2879
2880	Note:
2881
2882		In the current implementation, the local variables
2883		space and global environment variables space are
2884		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2885		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2886		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2887		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2888		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2889
2890		Global environment variables are those you use
2891		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2892		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2893		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2894
2895		To store commands and special characters in a
2896		variable, please use double quotation marks
2897		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2898		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2899		symbols.
2900
2901- Command Line Editing and History:
2902		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2903
2904		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2905		command line input operations
2906
2907- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2908		CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2909
2910		Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2911		at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2912		The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2913		and PS2.
2914
2915- Default Environment:
2916		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2917
2918		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2919		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2920		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2921
2922		For example, place something like this in your
2923		board's config file:
2924
2925		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2926			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2927			"myvar2=value2\0"
2928
2929		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2930		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2931		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2932		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2933		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2934		You better know what you are doing here.
2935
2936		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2937		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2938		the environment like the "source" command or the
2939		boot command first.
2940
2941		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2942
2943		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2944		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2945		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2946
2947		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2948
2949		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2950		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2951		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2952		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2953		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2954
2955		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2956
2957		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2958		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2959		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2960
2961		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2962
2963		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2964		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2965		that so that the environment is not available until
2966		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2967		this is instead controlled by the value of
2968		/config/load-environment.
2969
2970- Parallel Flash support:
2971		CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2972
2973		Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
2974		flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2975		flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2976		parallel flash.
2977
2978		If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2979		(e.g.  CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2980		selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2981		flash API (see include/flash.h).
2982
2983- DataFlash Support:
2984		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2985
2986		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2987		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2988		commands cp, md...
2989
2990- Serial Flash support
2991		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2992
2993		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2994		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2995
2996		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2997		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2998		commands.
2999
3000		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3001		to handle the common case when only a single serial
3002		flash is present on the system.
3003
3004		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
3005		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
3006		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
3007		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
3008
3009		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3010
3011		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3012		test ('sf test').
3013
3014		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
3015
3016		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3017		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
3018		Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
3019
3020- SystemACE Support:
3021		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3022
3023		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3024		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
3025		of the chip must also be defined in the
3026		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3027
3028		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3029		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3030
3031		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3032		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3033
3034- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3035		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3036
3037		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3038		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3039		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3040		number generator is used.
3041
3042		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3043		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
3044		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3045
3046		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3047		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3048		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3049		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3050		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3051		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3052		but sometimes that is not allowed.
3053
3054- Hashing support:
3055		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3056
3057		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3058		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3059
3060		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3061
3062		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3063		size a little.
3064
3065		CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3066		algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3067		CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3068		SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3069		CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3070		for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3071		This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3072		hash_lookup_algo() function.
3073		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3074		hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3075		Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3076		is performed in hardware.
3077
3078		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3079		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3080
3081- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3082		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3083		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3084		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3085
3086		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3087		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3088		a boot from specific media.
3089
3090		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3091		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3092		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3093		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
3094		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3095
3096- Signing support:
3097		CONFIG_RSA
3098
3099		This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
3100		in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
3101
3102		The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3103		driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3104		library to function.
3105
3106		The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3107		option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3108		mkimage irrespective of this option.
3109
3110- bootcount support:
3111		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3112
3113		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3114		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3115
3116		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3117		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3118		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3119		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3120		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3121		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3122		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3123		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3124		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3125		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3126			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3127			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3128						    the bootcounter.
3129			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3130
3131- Show boot progress:
3132		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3133
3134		Defining this option allows to add some board-
3135		specific code (calling a user-provided function
3136		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3137		the system's boot progress on some display (for
3138		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3139		the following checkpoints are implemented:
3140

3294
3295- legacy image format:
3296		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3297		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3298
3299		Default:
3300		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3301
3302		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3303		disable the legacy image format
3304
3305		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3306		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3307
3308- FIT image support:
3309		CONFIG_FIT
3310		Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3311
3312		CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3313		When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3314		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3315		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3316		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3317		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3318
3319		CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3320		This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3321		using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If
3322		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive
3323		hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it.
3324		See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3325
3326		WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3327		signature check the legacy image format is default
3328		disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3329		enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3330
3331		CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3332		Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3333		For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3334		with this option.
3335
3336- Standalone program support:
3337		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3338
3339		This option defines a board specific value for the
3340		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3341		overwriting the architecture dependent default
3342		settings.
3343
3344- Frame Buffer Address:
3345		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3346
3347		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3348		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3349		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3350		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3351		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3352		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3353		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3354		configured panel size.
3355
3356		Please see board_init_f function.
3357
3358- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3359		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3360		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3361		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3362
3363		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3364		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3365
3366- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3367		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3368
3369		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3370		Needed for mtdparts command support.
3371
3372		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3373
3374		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3375		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3376
3377- UBI support
3378		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3379
3380		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3381		with the UBI flash translation layer
3382
3383		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3384
3385		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3386
3387		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3388		warnings and errors enabled.
3389
3390
3391		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3392		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3393		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3394		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3395		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3396		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3397
3398		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3399		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3400		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3401		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3402		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3403
3404		default: 4096
3405
3406		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3407		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3408		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3409		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3410		flash), this value is ignored.
3411
3412		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3413		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3414		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3415		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3416		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3417		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3418
3419		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3420		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3421		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3422		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3423		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3424		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3425		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3426		partition.
3427
3428		default: 20
3429
3430		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3431		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3432		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3433		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3434		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3435		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3436		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3437		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3438		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3439		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3440		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3441		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3442
3443		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3444		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3445		without a fastmap.
3446		default: 0
3447
3448		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3449		Enable UBI fastmap debug
3450		default: 0
3451
3452- UBIFS support
3453		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3454
3455		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3456		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3457
3458		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3459
3460		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3461
3462		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3463		warnings and errors enabled.
3464
3465- SPL framework
3466		CONFIG_SPL
3467		Enable building of SPL globally.

3470		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3471
3472		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3473		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3474		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3475		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3476		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3477		must not be both defined at the same time.
3478
3479		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3480		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3481		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3482		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3483		not exceed it.
3484
3485		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3486		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3487
3488		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3489		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3490		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).

3493		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3494
3495		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3496		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3497		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3498		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3499		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3500		must not be both defined at the same time.
3501
3502		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3503		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3504
3505		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3506		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3507		loaded does not have a signature.
3508		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3509		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3510		will be caught.
3511		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3512		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3513		and thus should be skipped silently.
3514
3515		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3516		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3517		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3518		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3519
3520		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3521		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3522		When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3523		it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3524		can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3525
3526		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3527		The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3528
3529		CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3530		Enable the SPL framework under common/.  This framework
3531		supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3532		NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3533
3534		CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3535		Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3536		See also: doc/README.falcon
3537
3538		CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3539		For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3540		about the running system.
3541
3542		CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3543		Arch init code should be built for a very small image

3562		Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from
3563		when the MMC is being used in raw mode.
3564
3565		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3566		Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3567		used in raw mode
3568
3569		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3570		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3571		used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3572
3573		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3574		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3575		Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument

3592		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3593		Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3594		from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3595
3596		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3597		Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3598		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3599
3600		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3601		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3602		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3603		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3604		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3605
3606		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3607		Avoid SPL relocation
3608
3609		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3610		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires
3611		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3612

3617		Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3618
3619		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE

3625		environment on NAND support within SPL.
3626
3627		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3628		Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3629		if you need to save space.
3630
3631		CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT
3632		Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for
3633		drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary.
3634
3635		CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3636		Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3637		SPL binary.
3638
3639		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3640		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3641		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3642		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3643		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3644		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3645		to read U-Boot
3646
3647		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3648		Add support NAND boot
3649
3650		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS

3658
3659		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3660		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3661
3662		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3663		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3664		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3665
3666		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3667		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3668		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3669
3670		CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
3671		Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary
3672
3673		CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT
3674		Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary
3675
3676		CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT
3677		Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary
3678
3679		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3680		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3681
3682		CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT
3683		Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary
3684
3685		CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
3686		Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3687
3688		CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3689		Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3690		It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3691		CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3692
3693		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3694		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3695		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3696		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3697		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3698		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3699
3700		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3701		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3702		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3703		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3704
3705		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3706		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3707		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3708		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3709		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3710
3711- TPL framework
3712		CONFIG_TPL
3713		Enable building of TPL globally.
3714
3715		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3716		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3717		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3718		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3719		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3720		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3721
3722- Interrupt support (PPC):
3723
3724		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3725		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3726		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3727		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3728		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3729		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3730		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3731		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3732		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3733		general timer_interrupt().
3734
3735
3736Board initialization settings:
3737------------------------------
3738
3739During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3740to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3741before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3742following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3743architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3744typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3745
3746- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3747- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3748- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3749- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3750
3751Configuration Settings:
3752-----------------------
3753
3754- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3755		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3756
3757- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3758		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3759
3760- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3761		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3762
3763- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3764		prompt for user input.
3765
3766- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3767
3768- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3769
3770- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3771
3772- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3773		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3774		booted
3775
3776- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3777		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3778
3779- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3780		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3781
3782- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3783		If the board specific function
3784			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3785		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3786		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3787
3788- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3789		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3790
3791- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3792		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3793
3794- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3795		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3796		simple memory test.
3797
3798- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3799		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3800
3801- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3802		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3803		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3804
3805- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3806		If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3807		is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3808		This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3809		gd->secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3810		the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3811		this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3812
3813- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3814		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3815		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3816		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3817		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3818		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3819		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3820		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3821		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3822		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3823
3824		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3825		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3826		be touched.
3827
3828		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3829		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3830		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3831		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3832		problems.
3833
3834- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3835		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3836
3837- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3838		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3839
3840- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3841		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3842		Cogent motherboard)
3843
3844- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3845		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3846
3847- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3848		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3849		make config files to be same as the text base address
3850		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3851		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3852
3853- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3854		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3855		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3856		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3857		flash sector.
3858
3859- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3860		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3861
3862- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3863		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3864		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3865		will become available before relocation. The address is just
3866		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3867		space.
3868
3869		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3870		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3871		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3872		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3873		U-Boot relocates itself.
3874
3875		Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
3876		at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3877
3878- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3879		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3880		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3881		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3882
3883- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3884		Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3885		typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3886		uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3887		otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3888		some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3889		cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3890		are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3891		cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3892		if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3893		size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3894		one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3895		written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3896		happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3897		buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3898		16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3899
3900		Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3901
3902- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3903		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3904		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3905		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3906		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3907
3908- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3909		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3910		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3911		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3912		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3913		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3914		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3915		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3916		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3917		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3918		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3919
3920- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3921		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3922		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3923		is enabled.
3924
3925- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3926		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3927		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3928
3929- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3930		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3931		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3932
3933- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3934		Max number of Flash memory banks
3935
3936- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3937		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3938
3939- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3940		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3941
3942- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3943		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3944
3945- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3946		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3947
3948- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3949		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3950
3951- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3952		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3953		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3954
3955- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3956
3957		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3958		without this option such a download has to be
3959		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3960		copy from RAM to flash.
3961
3962		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3963		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3964		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3965		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3966		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3967
3968- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3969		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3970		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3971
3972- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3973		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3974		in the drivers directory
3975
3976- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3977		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3978		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3979		to the MTD layer.
3980
3981- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3982		Use buffered writes to flash.
3983
3984- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3985		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3986		write commands.
3987
3988- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3989		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3990		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3991		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3992		optionally available.
3993
3994- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3995		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3996		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3997		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3998
3999- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4000		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4001		against the source after the write operation. An error message
4002		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4003		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4004		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4005		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4006		this option if you really know what you are doing.
4007
4008- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
4009		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4010		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
4011		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4012		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
4013		on high Ethernet traffic.
4014		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
4015
4016- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
4017
4018	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4019	internally to store the environment settings. The default
4020	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4021	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4022	lib/hashtable.c for details.
4023
4024- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4025- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4026	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
4027	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4028	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4029	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4030
4031	The format of the list is:
4032		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
4033		access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
4034		attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
4035		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4036		list = entry[,list]
4037
4038	The type attributes are:
4039		s - String (default)
4040		d - Decimal
4041		x - Hexadecimal
4042		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4043		i - IP address
4044		m - MAC address
4045
4046	The access attributes are:
4047		a - Any (default)
4048		r - Read-only
4049		o - Write-once
4050		c - Change-default
4051
4052	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4053		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4054		environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4055
4056	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4057		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4058		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4059		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
4060		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4061		".flags" variable.
4062
4063	If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4064	regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
4065	flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
4066
4067- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4068	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4069	access flags.
4070
4071- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4072	This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4073	architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4074	to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4075	arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4076	common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4077	must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).
4078	If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report
4079	the problem and send patches!
4080
4081- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4082	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4083	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4084	the value can be calculated on a given board.
4085
4086- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4087	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4088	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4089	building U-Boot to enable this.
4090
4091The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4092of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4093following configurations:
4094
4095- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4096
4097	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4098	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4099
4100- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4101
4102	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4103
4104	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4105	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4106	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4107	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4108	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4109	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4110	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4111	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4112	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4113	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4114	   between U-Boot and the environment.
4115
4116	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4117
4118	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4119	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4120	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4121	   for this sector is given here.
4122
4123	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4124
4125	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4126
4127	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
4128	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4129	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
4130
4131	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4132
4133	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
4134
4135
4136	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4137	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4138	   the environment.
4139
4140	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4141
4142	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4143	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4144	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4145	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4146
4147	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4148	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4149	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4150	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4151	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4152	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
4153	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4154	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4155	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
4156
4157	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4158	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4159
4160	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4161	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4162	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4163	   a "saveenv" operation.
4164
4165BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4166source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4167accordingly!
4168
4169
4170- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4171
4172	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4173	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4174	environment.
4175
4176	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4177	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4178
4179	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4180	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4181	  can just be read and written to, without any special
4182	  provision.
4183
4184BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4185in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4186console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4187U-Boot will hang.
4188
4189Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4190environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4191keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4192to save the current settings.
4193
4194
4195- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4196
4197	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4198	device and a driver for it.
4199
4200	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4201	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4202
4203	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4204	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4205
4206	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4207	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4208	  The default address is zero.
4209
4210	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4211	  If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4212
4213	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4214	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4215	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
4216	  would require six bits.
4217
4218	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4219	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4220	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
4221
4222	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4223	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
4224	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
4225
4226	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4227	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4228	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4229	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4230	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4231	  byte chips.
4232
4233	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4234	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4235	  in the chip address.
4236
4237	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4238	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4239
4240	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4241	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4242	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4243
4244	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4245	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4246	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4247	  EEPROM. For example:
4248
4249	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
4250
4251	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4252	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4253
4254- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4255
4256	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4257	want to use for the environment.
4258
4259	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4260	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4261	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4262
4263	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4264	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4265	  at the specified address.
4266
4267- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4268
4269	Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4270	want to use for the environment.
4271
4272	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4273	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4274
4275	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4276	  environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4277	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4278
4279	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4280
4281	  Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4282
4283	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4284
4285	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4286	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4287	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4288	  during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4289	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4290
4291	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4292	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4293
4294	  Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4295
4296	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4297
4298	  Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4299
4300	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4301
4302	  Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4303
4304- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4305
4306	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4307	want to use for the local device's environment.
4308
4309	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4310	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4311
4312	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4313	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
4314	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
4315	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4316
4317BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4318"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4319environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4320but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4321
4322- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4323
4324	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4325	for the environment.
4326
4327	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4328	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4329
4330	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4331	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4332	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4333
4334	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4335
4336	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4337	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4338	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4339	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4340	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4341
4342	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4343
4344	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4345	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4346	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4347	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4348	  the range to be avoided.
4349
4350	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4351
4352	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4353	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
4354	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4355	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4356	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4357
4358- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4359
4360	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4361	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4362	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4363
4364- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4365
4366	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4367	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4368	accesses, which is important on NAND.
4369
4370	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4371
4372	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4373
4374	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4375
4376	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4377	  environment in.
4378
4379	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4380
4381	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4382	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4383	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4384
4385	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4386	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4387
4388	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4389	  when storing the env in UBI.
4390
4391- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4392       Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4393
4394       - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4395
4396         Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4397
4398       - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4399
4400         Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4401         be as following:
4402
4403           "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4404               - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4405                        partition table.
4406               - "D:0": device D.
4407               - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4408                              table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4409                              table.
4410               - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4411                           If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4412                           partition table then means device D.
4413
4414       - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4415
4416         It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4417         environment.
4418
4419       - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4420         This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4421
4422- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4423
4424	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4425	environment.
4426
4427	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4428
4429	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4430
4431	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4432
4433	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4434	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4435	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4436
4437	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4438	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4439
4440	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4441	  area within the specified MMC device.
4442
4443	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4444	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4445	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4446	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4447	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4448	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4449	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4450
4451	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4452	  MMC sector boundary.
4453
4454	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4455
4456	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4457	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4458	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4459	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4460
4461	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4462	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4463
4464	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4465	  an MMC sector boundary.
4466
4467	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4468
4469	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4470	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4471	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4472
4473- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4474
4475	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4476	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4477	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4478	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4479	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4480	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4481	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4482
4483Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4484has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4485created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4486until then to read environment variables.
4487
4488The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4489is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4490with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4491necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4492"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4493have any device yet where we could complain.]
4494
4495Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4496the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4497use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4498
4499- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4500		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4501
4502		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4503		      also needs to be defined.
4504
4505- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4506		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4507
4508- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4509		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4510		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4511		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4512		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4513		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4514
4515- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4516		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4517		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4518		to do this.
4519
4520- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4521		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4522		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4523		present.
4524
4525- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4526		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4527		build system checks that the actual size does not
4528		exceed it.
4529
4530Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4531---------------------------------------------------
4532
4533- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4534		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4535
4536- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4537		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4538
4539		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4540		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4541		the IMMR register after a reset.
4542
4543- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4544		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4545		PowerPC SOCs.
4546
4547- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4548		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4549		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4550
4551		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4552		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4553
4554- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4555		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4556		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4557		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4558		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4559		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4560		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4561
4562		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4563			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4564
4565- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4566		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4567		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4568		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4569		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4570
4571- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4572		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4573		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4574		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4575
4576- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4577		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4578		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4579
4580- Floppy Disk Support:
4581		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4582
4583		the default drive number (default value 0)
4584
4585		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4586
4587		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4588		(default value 1)
4589
4590		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4591
4592		defines the offset of register from address. It
4593		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4594		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4595
4596		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4597		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4598		default value.
4599
4600		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4601		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4602		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4603		source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4604		initializations.
4605
4606- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4607		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4608		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4609		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4610		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4611		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4612		is required.
4613
4614- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4615		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4616		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4617
4618- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4619
4620		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4621		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4622		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4623		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4624		will become available only after programming the
4625		memory controller and running certain initialization
4626		sequences.
4627
4628		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4629		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4630		- MPC824X: data cache
4631		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4632
4633- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4634
4635		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4636		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4637		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4638		data is located at the end of the available space
4639		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4640		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4641		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4642		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4643
4644	Note:
4645		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4646		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4647		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4648		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4649		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4686
4687- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4688		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4689		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
4690
4691- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4692		enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4693		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1]
4694
4695- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4696		enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4697		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4698
4699- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
4700		Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4701		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4702		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4703
4704- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4705		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4706		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4707		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
4708		cpm_8260.h.
4709
4710- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
4711  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

4717  CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
4718		Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4719
4720- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4721		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4722		required.
4723
4724- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4725		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4726		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4727		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4728		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4729		by coreboot or similar.
4730
4731- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4732		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4733
4734- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
4735		Chip has SRIO or not
4736
4737- CONFIG_SRIO1:
4738		Board has SRIO 1 port available
4739
4740- CONFIG_SRIO2:
4741		Board has SRIO 2 port available
4742
4743- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
4744		Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
4745
4746- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:
4747		Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4748
4749- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
4750		Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4751
4752- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4753		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4754
4755- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4756		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4757		a 16 bit bus.
4758		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4759		Example of drivers that use it:
4760		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4761		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4762
4763- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4764		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4765		a default value will be used.
4766
4767- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4768		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4769		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4770
4771  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4772		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4773
4774- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4775		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4776		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4777		to something your driver can deal with.
4778
4779- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4780		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4781		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4782		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4783		header files or board specific files.
4784
4785- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4786		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4787
4788- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4789		Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4790
4791- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4792		Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4793
4794- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4795		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4796		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4797
4798- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4799		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4800
4801- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4802		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4803		to the given FEC; i. e.
4804			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4805		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4806
4807		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4808
4809- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4810		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4811		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4812
4813- CONFIG_RMII
4814		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4815		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4816		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4817
4818- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4819		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4820		The syntax is:
4821
4822		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4823
4824		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4825		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4826		area should have.
4827
4828- CONFIG_LOOPW
4829		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4830		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4831
4832- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4833		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4834		"md/mw" commands.
4835		Examples:
4836
4837		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4838		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4839
4840		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4841		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4842
4843		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4844		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4845
4846- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4847		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4848		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4849		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4850		relocate itself into RAM.
4851
4852		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4853		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4854		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4855		these initializations itself.
4856
4857- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4858		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4859		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4860		compiling a NAND SPL.
4861
4862- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4863		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4864		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4865		It is loaded by the SPL.
4866
4867- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4868		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4869		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4870		previous 4k of the .text section.
4871
4872- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4873		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4874		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4875		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4876		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4877		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4878		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4879		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4880
4881- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4882  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4883		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4884		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4885		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4886
4887- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4888		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4889		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4890
4891- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4892		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4893

4904Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4905-----------------------------------
4906
4907The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4908loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4909This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4910are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4911within that device.
4912
4913- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4914	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
4915	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4916	is also specified.
4917
4918- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4919	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
4920	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4921	is also specified.
4922
4923- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4924	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4925	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4926	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4927	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4928
4929- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4930	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4931	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4932	virtual address in NOR flash.
4933
4934- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4935	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4936	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4937
4938- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4939	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4940	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4941
4942- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4943	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4944	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4945
4946- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4947	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4948	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4949	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4950	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4951	master's memory space.
4952
4953Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4954---------------------------------------------------------
4955The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4956"firmware".
4957This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4958are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4959within that device.
4960
4961- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4962	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4963
4964- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4965	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
4966	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4967	is also specified.
4968
4969- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4970	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4971	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4972	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4973	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4974
4975- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4976	Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4977	normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4978	virtual address in NOR flash.
4979
4980Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4981-------------------------------------------
4982The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4983"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4984This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4985
4986- CONFIG_FSL_DEBUG_SERVER
4987	Enable the Debug Server for Layerscape SoCs.
4988
4989- CONFIG_SYS_DEBUG_SERVER_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE
4990	Define minimum DDR size required for debug server image
4991
4992- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4993	Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4994
4995Reproducible builds
4996-------------------
4997
4998In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4999process have to be set to a fixed value.
5000
5001This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
5002SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
5003option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
5004
5005SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
5006
5007Building the Software:
5008======================
5009
5010Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5011and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5012all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5013(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5014recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5015which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
5016
5017If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5018have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5019you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5020Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5021necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
5022
5023	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5024	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
5025
5026Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5027      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5028      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5029      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
5030
5031       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5032
5033      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5034      be executed on computers running Windows.
5035
5036U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5037sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
5038is done by typing:
5039
5040	make NAME_defconfig
5041
5042where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5043rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5044
5045Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5046      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5047      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5048      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5049      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5050
5051      make TQM823L_defconfig
5052	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5053
5054      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5055	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5056
5057      etc.
5058
5059
5060Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5061images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5062
5063- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5064- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5065- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5066
5067By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5068in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5069this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5070
50711. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5072
5073	make O=/tmp/build distclean
5074	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5075	make O=/tmp/build all
5076
50772. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5078
5079	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5080	make distclean
5081	make NAME_defconfig
5082	make all
5083
5084Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5085variable.
5086
5087
5088Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5089for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5090native "make".
5091
5092
5093If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5094to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5095steps:
5096
50971.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5098    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5099    the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
51002.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5101    your board.
51023.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5103    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
51044.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
51055.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5106    to be installed on your target system.
51076.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5108    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5109
5110
5111Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5112==============================================================
5113
5114If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5115or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5116provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5117the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5118official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5119
5120But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5121cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5122the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5123just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5124for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5125select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5126environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5127you can type
5128
5129	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5130
5131or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5132
5133	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5134
5135When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5136U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5137setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5138built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5139<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5140location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5141variable. For example:
5142
5143	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5144	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5145	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5146
5147With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5148log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5149during the whole build process.

5208
5209For now: just type "help <command>".
5210
5211
5212Environment Variables:
5213======================
5214
5215U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5216can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5217
5218Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5219"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5220without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5221environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5222working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5223environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5224
5225Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5226
5227List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5228
5229  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5230
5231  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5232
5233  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5234
5235  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5236
5237  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
5238
5239  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5240		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5241		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5242		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5243		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5244		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5245		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5246		  bootm_mapsize.
5247
5248  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5249		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5250		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5251		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5252		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5253		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5254		  used otherwise.
5255
5256  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5257		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5258		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5259		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5260		  environment variable.
5261
5262  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5263		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5264		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5265
5266  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5267		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5268		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5269		  load any image using TFTP
5270
5271  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5272		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5273		  be automatically started (by internally calling
5274		  "bootm")
5275
5276		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5277		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5278		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5279		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5280		  data.
5281
5282  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5283		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5284		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5285		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5286		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5287		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5288		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5289		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5290		  access it during the boot procedure.
5291
5292		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5293		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
5294		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5295		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5296		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5297		  must be accessible by the kernel.
5298
5299  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5300		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5301		  defined.
5302
5303  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5304		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5305		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5306		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5307		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
5308
5309  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
5310		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5311		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5312		  is usually what you want since it allows for
5313		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5314		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5315		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5316		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5317		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5318		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5319		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5320
5321		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5322		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5323		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5324		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5325		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5326		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
5327
5328		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5329
5330		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5331		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5332		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5333		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5334		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5335		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
5336		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5337
5338  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5339
5340  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5341		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5342
5343  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5344
5345  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5346
5347  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5348
5349  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5350
5351  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5352
5353  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
5354
5355  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
5356		  For example you can do the following
5357
5358		  => setenv ethact FEC
5359		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5360		  => setenv ethact SCC
5361		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5362
5363  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5364		  available network interfaces.
5365		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5366
5367  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
5368		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
5369		  When set to "once" the network operation will
5370		  fail when all the available network interfaces
5371		  are tried once without success.
5372		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5373		  themselves.
5374
5375  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
5376
5377  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5378		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5379		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5380		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5381		  is silent.
5382
5383  tftpsrcp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5384		  UDP source port.
5385
5386  tftpdstp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5387		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5388
5389  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5390		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
5391
5392  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5393		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5394		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5395		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5396		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5397		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5398		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
5399
5400  tftptimeoutcountmax	- maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5401		  unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5402		  can happen during a single file transfer before that
5403		  transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5404		  'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5405		  downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5406		  unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5407
5408  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5409		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5410		  VLAN tagged frames.
5411
5412The following image location variables contain the location of images
5413used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5414not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5415variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5416server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5417loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5418flash or offset in NAND flash.
5419
5420*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5421boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5422boards use these variables for other purposes.
5423
5424Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
5425-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
5426u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
5427Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
5428device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
5429ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
5430
5431The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5432updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5433depending the information provided by your boot server:
5434
5435  bootfile	- see above
5436  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
5437  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5438  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5439  hostname	- Target hostname
5440  ipaddr	- see above
5441  netmask	- Subnet Mask
5442  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5443  serverip	- see above
5444
5445
5446There are two special Environment Variables:
5447
5448  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
5449		  as type string and/or serial number
5450  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
5451
5452These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5453the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5454once they have been set once.
5455
5456
5457Further special Environment Variables:
5458
5459  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5460		  with the "version" command. This variable is
5461		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5462
5463
5464Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5465only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5466
5467
5468Callback functions for environment variables:
5469---------------------------------------------
5470
5471For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5472when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
5473be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
5474deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5475effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5476
5477The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5478U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5479
5480These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
5481static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5482in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5483associations.  The list must be in the following format:
5484
5485	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5486	list = entry[,list]
5487
5488If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5489Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5490
5491Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5492with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5493override any association in the static list. You can define
5494CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5495".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5496
5497If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5498regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5499the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5500
5501
5502Command Line Parsing:
5503=====================
5504
5505There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5506the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5507
5508Old, simple command line parser:
5509--------------------------------
5510
5511- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5512- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5513- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5514- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5515  for example:
5516	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5517- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5518	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5519
5520Hush shell:
5521-----------
5522
5523- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5524  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5525  until...do...done, ...
5526- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5527  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5528  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5529  command
5530
5531General rules:
5532--------------
5533
5534(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5535    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5536    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5537    executed anyway.
5538
5539(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5540    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5541    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5542    variables are not executed.
5543
5544Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5545=======================================
5546
5547Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5548such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5549"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5550
5551Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5552MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5553"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5554
5555If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5556in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5557ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5558variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5559
5560o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5561  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5562
5563o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5564  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5565  used.
5566
5567o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5568  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5569
5570o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5571  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5572  warning is printed.
5573
5574o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5575  is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5576  a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5577
5578If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5579will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5580may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5581The naming convention is as follows:
5582"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5583
5584Image Formats:
5585==============
5586
5587U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5588images in two formats:
5589
5590New uImage format (FIT)
5591-----------------------
5592
5593Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5594to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5595components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5596SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5597
5598
5599Old uImage format
5600-----------------
5601
5602Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5603preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5604details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5605
5606* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5607  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5608  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5609  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5610  INTEGRITY).
5611* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5612  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5613  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5614* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5615* Load Address
5616* Entry Point
5617* Image Name
5618* Image Timestamp
5619
5620The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5621and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5622CRC32 checksums.
5623
5624
5625Linux Support:
5626==============
5627
5628Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5629easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5630U-Boot.
5631
5632U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5633special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5634"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5635instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5636serves several purposes:
5637
5638- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5639  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5640  Flash memory footprint)
5641
5642- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5643  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5644
5645- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5646  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5647  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5648  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5649  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5650  software is easier now.
5651
5652
5653Linux HOWTO:
5654============
5655
5656Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5657---------------------------------------
5658
5659U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5660configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5661(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5662Linux :-).
5663
5664But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5665
5666Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5667include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5668Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5669and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5670as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5671
5672Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5673If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5674is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5675doc/driver-model.
5676
5677
5678Configuring the Linux kernel:
5679-----------------------------
5680
5681No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5682device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5683
5684
5685Building a Linux Image:
5686-----------------------
5687
5688With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5689not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5690"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5691U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5692which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5693100% compatible format.
5694
5695Example:
5696
5697	make TQM850L_defconfig
5698	make oldconfig
5699	make dep
5700	make uImage
5701
5702The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5703encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5704CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5705
5706* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5707
5708* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5709
5710	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5711				 -R .note -R .comment \
5712				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5713
5714* compress the binary image:
5715
5716	gzip -9 linux.bin
5717
5718* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5719
5720	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5721		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5722		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5723
5724
5725The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5726with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5727combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5728byte header containing information about target architecture,
5729operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5730stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5731
5732"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5733print the header information, or to build new images.
5734
5735In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5736contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5737checksum verification:
5738
5739	tools/mkimage -l image
5740	  -l ==> list image header information
5741
5742The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5743from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5744
5745	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5746		      -n name -d data_file image
5747	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5748	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5749	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5750	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5751	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5752	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5753	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5754	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5755
5756Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5757address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5758kernel version:
5759
5760- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5761- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5762
5763So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5764
5765	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5766	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5767	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5768	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5769	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5770	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5771	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5772	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5773	Load Address: 0x00000000
5774	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5775
5776To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5777
5778	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5779	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5780	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5781	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5782	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5783	Load Address: 0x00000000
5784	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5785
5786NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5787speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5788needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5789need to be uncompressed:
5790
5791	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5792	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5793	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5794	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5795	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5796	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5797	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5798	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5799	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5800	Load Address: 0x00000000
5801	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5802
5803
5804Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5805when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5806
5807	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5808	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5809	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5810	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5811	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5812	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5813	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5814	Load Address: 0x00000000
5815	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5816
5817The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5818option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5819option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5820from the image:
5821
5822	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5823	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5824	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5825	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5826
5827
5828Installing a Linux Image:
5829-------------------------
5830
5831To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5832you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5833
5834	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5835
5836The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5837image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5838address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5839specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5840command.
5841
5842Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5843TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5844
5845	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5846
5847	.......... done
5848	Erased 8 sectors
5849
5850	=> loads 40100000
5851	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5852	~>examples/image.srec

5876Boot Linux:
5877-----------
5878
5879The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5880memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5881of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5882parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5883"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5884
5885
5886	=> printenv bootargs
5887	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5888
5889	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

6008More About U-Boot Image Types:
6009------------------------------
6010
6011U-Boot supports the following image types:
6012
6013   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6014	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6015	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6016	the Standalone Program.
6017   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6018	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6019	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6020	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6021	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6022   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6023	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6024	being started.
6025   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6026	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6027	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6028	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6029	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6030	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6031
6032	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6033	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6034	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6035	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6036	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6037	a multiple of 4 bytes).
6038
6039   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6040	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6041	flash memory.
6042
6043   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6044	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6045	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6046	as command interpreter.
6047
6048Booting the Linux zImage:
6049-------------------------
6050
6051On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6052using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6053as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6054
6055Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
6056kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6057address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6058format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
6059
6060
6061Standalone HOWTO:
6062=================
6063
6064One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6065run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6066U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6067
6068Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6069
6070"Hello World" Demo:
6071-------------------
6072
6073'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6074application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6075It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6076like that:
6077
6078	=> loads
6079	## Ready for S-Record download ...
6080	~>examples/hello_world.srec
6081	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6082	[file transfer complete]
6083	[connected]
6084	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6085
6086	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6087	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6088	Hello World
6089	argc = 7
6090	argv[0] = "40004"
6091	argv[1] = "Hello"
6092	argv[2] = "World!"
6093	argv[3] = "This"
6094	argv[4] = "is"
6095	argv[5] = "a"
6096	argv[6] = "test."
6097	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6098	Hit any key to exit ...
6099
6100	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6101
6102Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6103handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6104Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6105The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6106character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6107controlled by the following keys:
6108
6109	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6110	b - enable interrupts and start timer
6111	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6112	q - quit application
6113
6114	=> loads
6115	## Ready for S-Record download ...

6149Minicom warning:
6150================
6151
6152Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6153"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6154consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6155Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6156especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
6157use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
6158http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6159for help with kermit.
6160
6161
6162Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6163configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
6164
6165	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
6166	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

6170NetBSD Notes:
6171=============
6172
6173Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6174(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6175
6176Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6177NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6178need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6179Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6180attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6181missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6182
6183	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6184	# mkdir powerpc
6185	# ln -s powerpc machine
6186	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6187	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6188
6189Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6190and U-Boot include files.
6191
6192Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6193stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6194proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6195tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6196meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6197
6198
6199Implementation Internals:
6200=========================
6201
6202The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6203implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6204inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6205hardware.
6206
6207
6208Initial Stack, Global Data:
6209---------------------------
6210
6211The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6212starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6213system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6214This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6215is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6216at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6217options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6218models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6219MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6220locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6221
6222	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6223	U-Boot mailing list:
6224
6225	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6226	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6227	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6228	...
6229
6230	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6231	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6232	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6233	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6234	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6235	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6236	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6237	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6238
6239	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6240	is another option for the system designer to use as an
6241	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6242	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6243	board designers haven't used it for something that would
6244	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6245	used.
6246
6247	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6248	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6249	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6250	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6251	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6252	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6253	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6254	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6255	you get the config right.

6259
6260It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6261code for the initialization procedures:
6262
6263* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6264  to write it.
6265
6266* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6267  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6268  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6269
6270* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6271  that.
6272
6273Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6274normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6275turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6276simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6277functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6278functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6279the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6280place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6281reserve for this purpose.
6282
6283When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6284relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
6285GCC's implementation.
6286
6287For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6288	R1:	stack pointer
6289	R2:	reserved for system use
6290	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
6291	R5-R10: parameter passing
6292	R13:	small data area pointer
6293	R30:	GOT pointer
6294	R31:	frame pointer
6295
6296	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6297	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6298	going back and forth between asm and C)
6299
6300    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6301
6302    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6303    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6304    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6305    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6306    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6307    624 text + 127 data).
6308
6309On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6310	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6311
6312    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6313
6314On ARM, the following registers are used:
6315
6316	R0:	function argument word/integer result
6317	R1-R3:	function argument word
6318	R9:	platform specific
6319	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6320	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
6321	R12:	temporary workspace
6322	R13:	stack pointer
6323	R14:	link register
6324	R15:	program counter
6325
6326    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6327
6328    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6329
6330On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6331	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6332
6333    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6334
6335    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6336    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6337
6338On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6339
6340	R0-R1:	argument/return
6341	R2-R5:	argument
6342	R15:	temporary register for assembler
6343	R16:	trampoline register
6344	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
6345	R29:	global pointer (GP)
6346	R30:	link register (LP)
6347	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
6348	PC:	program counter (PC)
6349
6350    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6351
6352NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6353or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6354
6355Memory Management:
6356------------------
6357
6358U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6359MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6360
6361The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6362controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6363memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6364physical memory banks.
6365
6366U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6367TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6368booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6369to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6370memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6371configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6372Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6373
6374Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6375of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6376
6377So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6378this:
6379
6380	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
6381	      :
6382	0x0000 1FFF
6383	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
6384	      :
6385	      :
6386
6387	      :
6388	      :
6389	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6390	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6391	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
6392	      :
6393	0x00FD FFFF
6394	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6395	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6396	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6397	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
6398
6399
6400System Initialization:
6401----------------------
6402
6403In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6404(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6405configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6406To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6407To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6408initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6409which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6410part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6411the caches and the SIU.
6412
6413Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6414preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6415(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6416on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6417programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6418simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6419banks.
6420
6421When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6422different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6423bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64240x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6425contiguous memory starting from 0.
6426
6427Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6428and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6429Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6430pages, and the final stack is set up.
6431
6432Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6433until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6434running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6435new address in RAM.

6512Coding Standards:
6513-----------------
6514
6515All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6516coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6517"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6518
6519Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6520MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6521reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6522sources.
6523
6524Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6525Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6526in your code.
6527
6528Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6529- remove any trailing white space
6530- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6531- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6532- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6533- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6534
6535Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6536with a request to reformat the changes.
6537
6538
6539Submitting Patches:
6540-------------------
6541
6542Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6543establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6544may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6545
6546Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6547
6548Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6549see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6550
6551When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6552it:
6553
6554* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6555  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6556  patch actually fixes something.
6557
6558* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6559  implementation.
6560
6561* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6562
6563* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6564  information and associated file and directory references.
6565
6566* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6567  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6568
6569* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6570  document these in the README file.
6571
6572* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6573  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6574  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6575  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6576  with some other mail clients.
6577
6578  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6579  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6580  GNU diff.
6581
6582  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6583  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6584  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6585  affected files).
6586
6587  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6588  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6589
6590* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6591  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6592
6593* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6594  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6595
6596
6597Notes:
6598
6599* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6600  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6601  for any of the boards.
6602
6603* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6604  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6605  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6606
6607* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6608  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6609  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6610  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6611  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6612  modification.
6613
6614* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6615  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6616  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6617  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
