24Summary:
25========
26
27This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
28Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
32
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
34the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
36support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
52
53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board
55maintainers.
56
57Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
58it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:

239Software Configuration:
240=======================
241
242Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
243rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
244
245There are two classes of configuration variables:
246
247* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
248  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
249  "CONFIG_".
250
251* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
252  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
253  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
254  "CONFIG_SYS_".
255
256Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
257identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
258do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
259links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
260as an example here.
261
262
263Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
264---------------------------------------------------
265
266For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
267configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
268
269Example: For a TQM823L module type:
270
271	cd u-boot
272	make TQM823L_config
273
274For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
275e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
276directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
277
278
279Configuration Options:
280----------------------
281
282Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
283such information is kept in a configuration file
284"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
285
286Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
287"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
288
289
290Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
291kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
292build a config tool - later.
293
294
295The following options need to be configured:
296
297- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
298
299- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
300
301- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
302		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
303
304- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
305		Define exactly one of
306		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
307--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
308		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
309		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
310
311- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
312		Define exactly one of
313		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
314
315- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
316		Define one or more of
317		CONFIG_CMA302
318
319- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
320		Define one or more of
321		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
322					  the LCD display every second with
323					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
324
325- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
326		CONFIG_ADSTYPE
327		Possible values are:
328			CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS	- original MPC8260ADS
329			CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS	- MPC8266ADS
330			CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS	- PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
331			CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS	- MPC8272ADS
332
333- Marvell Family Member
334		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
335					  multiple fs option at one time
336					  for marvell soc family
337
338- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
339		Define exactly one of
340		CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
341
342- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
343		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
344					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
345					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
346					  reference PIT/RTC clock
347		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
348					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
349
350- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
351		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
352		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
353		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
354			See doc/README.MPC866
355
356		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
357
358		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
359		of relying on the correctness of the configured
360		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
361		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
362		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
363		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
364
365		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
366
367		Define this option if you want to enable the
368		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
369
370- 85xx CPU Options:
371		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
372
373		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
374		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
375		compliance, among other possible reasons.
376
377		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
378
379		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
380		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
381		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
382
383		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
384
385		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
386		tree nodes for the given platform.
387
388		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
389
390		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
391		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
392		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
393		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
394		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
395		purpose.
396
397		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
398
399		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
400		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
401		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
402
403		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
404		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
405
406		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
407		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
408
409		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
410		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
411		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
412		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
413
414		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
415		this erratum.
416
417		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
418
419		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
420		according to the A004510 workaround.
421
422- Generic CPU options:
423		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
424
425		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
426		values is arch specific.
427
428- Intel Monahans options:
429		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
430
431		Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
432		ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
433		frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
434
435		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
436
437		Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
438		ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
439		2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
440		by this value.
441
442- MIPS CPU options:
443		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
444
445		Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
446		pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
447		relocation.
448
449		CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
450
451		Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
452		See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
453		Possible values are:
454			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
455			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
456			CONF_CM_UNCACHED
457			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
458			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
459			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
460			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
461			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
462
463		CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
464
465		Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
466		See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
467
468		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
469
470		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
471		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
472		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
473
474- ARM options:
475		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
476
477		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
478		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
479
480		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
481
482		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
483		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
484		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
485		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
486		GCC.
487
488- Linux Kernel Interface:
489		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
490
491		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
492		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
493		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
494		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
495		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
496		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
497		Linux kernel.
498		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
499		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
500		default environment.
501
502		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
503
504		When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
505		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
506		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
507
508		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
509
510		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
511		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
512		concepts).
513
514		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
515		 * New libfdt-based support
516		 * Adds the "fdt" command
517		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
518
519		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
520			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
521		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
522			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
523		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
524		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
525
526		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
527		addresses
528
529		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
530
531		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
532		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
533
534		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
535
536		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
537		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
538
539		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
540
541		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
542		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
543		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
544		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
545		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
546		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
547
548		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
549
550		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
551		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
552		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
553		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
554		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
555		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
556		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
557
558- vxWorks boot parameters:
559
560		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
561		environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
562		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
563
564		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
565		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
566		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
567		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
568
569		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
570
571		Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
572
573		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
574		the defaults discussed just above.
575
576- Cache Configuration:
577		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
578		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
579		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
580
581- Cache Configuration for ARM:
582		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
583				      controller
584		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
585					controller register space
586
587- Serial Ports:
588		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
589
590		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
591
592		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
593
594		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
595
596		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
597
598		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
599		the clock speed of the UARTs.
600
601		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
602
603		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
604		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
605		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
606
607		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
608
609		Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
610		have separate receive and transmit line control registers.  Set
611		this variable to initialize the extra register.
612
613		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
614
615		On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
616		boot loader that has already initialized the UART.  Define this
617		variable to flush the UART at init time.
618
619		CONFIG_SYS_NS16550_BROKEN_TEMT
620
621		16550 UART set the Transmitter Empty (TEMT) Bit when all output
622		has finished and the transmitter is totally empty. U-Boot waits
623		for this bit to be set to initialize the serial console. On some
624		broken platforms this bit is not set in SPL making U-Boot to
625		hang while waiting for TEMT. Define this option to avoid it.
626
627
628- Console Interface:
629		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
630		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
631		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
632		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
633
634		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
635		port routines must be defined elsewhere
636		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
637
638		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
639		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
640		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
641			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
642						(default big endian)
643			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
644						rectangle fill
645						(cf. smiLynxEM)
646			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
647						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
648			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
649						(cols=pitch)
650			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
651			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
652			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
653						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
654			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
655			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
656						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
657			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
658						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
659			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
660						(i.e. i8042_getc)
661			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
662						(requires blink timer
663						cf. i8042.c)
664			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
665			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
666						upper right corner
667						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
668			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
669						upper left corner
670			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
671						linux_logo.h for logo.
672						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
673			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
674						additional board info beside
675						the logo
676
677		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
678		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
679		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
680
681		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
682		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
683		environment 'console=serial'.
684
685		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
686		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
687		the "silent" environment variable. See
688		doc/README.silent for more information.
689
690- Console Baudrate:
691		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
692		Select one of the baudrates listed in
693		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
694		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
695
696- Console Rx buffer length
697		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
698		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
699		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
700		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
701		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
702		the SMC.
703
704- Pre-Console Buffer:
705		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
706		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
707		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
708		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
709		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
710		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
711		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
712		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
713		earlier bytes are discarded.
714
715		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
716		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
717
718- Safe printf() functions
719		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
720		the printf() functions. These are defined in
721		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
722		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
723		If this option is not given then these functions will
724		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
725		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
726
727- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
728		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
729		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
730		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
731		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
732
733		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
734		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
735		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
736		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
737		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
738		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
739		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
740		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
741		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
742		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
743		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
744		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
745
746- Autoboot Command:
747		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
748		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
749		define a command string that is automatically executed
750		when no character is read on the console interface
751		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
752
753		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
754		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
755		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
756		environment value "bootargs".
757
758		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
759		The value of these goes into the environment as
760		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
761		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
762		RAM and NFS.
763
764- Pre-Boot Commands:
765		CONFIG_PREBOOT
766
767		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
768		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
769		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
770		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
771		entering interactive mode.
772
773		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
774		automatically generated or modified. For an example
775		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
776		modified when the user holds down a certain
777		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
778		booting the systems
779
780- Serial Download Echo Mode:
781		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
782		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
783		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
784		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
785		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
786		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
787		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
788
789- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
790		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
791		Select one of the baudrates listed in
792		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
793
794- Monitor Functions:
795		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
796		from the build by using the #include files
797		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
798		commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
799		and augmenting with additional #define's
800		for wanted commands.
801
802		The default command configuration includes all commands
803		except those marked below with a "*".

901
902		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
903		support you can write:
904
905		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
906		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
907
908	Other Commands:
909		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
910
911	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
912		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
913		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
914		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
915		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
916		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
917		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
918		initial stack and some data.
919
920
921		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
922
923- Device tree:
924		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
925		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
926		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
927		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
928		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
929		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
930
931		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
932		be done using one of the two options below:
933
934		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
935		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
936		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
937		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
938		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
939		the global data structure as gd->blob.
940
941		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
942		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
943		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
944		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
945
946			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
947
948		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
949		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
950		still use the individual files if you need something more
951		exotic.
952
953- Watchdog:
954		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
955		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
956		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
957		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
958		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
959		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
960		available, then no further board specific code should
961		be needed to use it.
962
963		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
964		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
965		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
966		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
967
968- U-Boot Version:
969		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
970		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
971		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
972		version as printed by the "version" command.
973		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
974		next reset.
975
976- Real-Time Clock:
977
978		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
979		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
980		following options:
981
982		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
983		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
984		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
985		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
986		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
987		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
988		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
989		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
990		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
991		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
992		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
993		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
994					  RV3029 RTC.
995
996		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
997		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
998
999- GPIO Support:
1000		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1001		CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO	- enable pca953x info command
1002
1003		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1004		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1005		pins supported by a particular chip.
1006
1007		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1008		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1009
1010- Timestamp Support:
1011
1012		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1013		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1014		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1015		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1016
1017- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1018		Zero or more of the following:

1228		txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1229
1230- USB Device:
1231		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1232		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1233		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1234		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1235		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1236		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1237		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1238		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1239		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1240		a Linux host by
1241		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1242		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1243		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1244		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1245
1246			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1247			Define this to build a UDC device
1248
1249			CONFIG_USB_TTY

1251			talk to the UDC device
1252
1253			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1254			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1255			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1256			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1257			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1258			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1259			speed.
1260
1261			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1262			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1263			be set to usbtty.
1264
1265			mpc8xx:
1266				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH

1274		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1275		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1276		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1277		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1278		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1279		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1280
1281			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1282			Define this string as the name of your company for
1283			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1284
1285			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1286			Define this string as the name of your product
1287			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1288
1289			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID

1291			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1292			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1293			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1294
1295			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1296			Define this as the unique Product ID
1297			for your device
1298			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1299
1300- ULPI Layer Support:
1301		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1302		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1303		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1304		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1305		viewport is supported.
1306		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1307		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1308		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1309		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1310		the appropriate value in Hz.
1311
1312- MMC Support:
1313		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1314		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1315		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1316		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1317		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1318		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.

1336		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1337
1338		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1339		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1340		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1341
1342		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1343		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1344		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1345		have not defined a custom partition
1346
1347- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1348		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1349
1350		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1351		file in FAT formatted partition.
1352
1353		This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1354		user to write files to FAT.
1355
1356CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1357		CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1358
1359		Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot

1387		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1388		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1389		assumed.
1390
1391		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1392		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1393		are possible:
1394		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1395		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1396
1397		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024

1407		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1408
1409
1410		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1411		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1412		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1413		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1414
1415		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1416		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1417		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1418		support, and should also define these other macros:
1419
1420			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1421			CONFIG_VIDEO
1422			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1423			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1424			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1425			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE

1427			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1428
1429		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1430		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1431		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1432		description of this variable.
1433
1434		CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1435
1436		Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1437		are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer

1439
1440
1441- Keyboard Support:
1442		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1443
1444		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.

1448
1449- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1450
1451		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1452		display); also select one of the supported displays
1453		by defining one of these:

1455		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1456
1457			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1458
1459		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1460
1461			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1462
1463		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1464
1465			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1466			Active, color, single scan.
1467
1468		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1469
1470			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1471			Active, color, single scan.
1472
1473		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1474
1475			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.

1499		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1500
1501		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1502
1503		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1504		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1505		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1506		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1507		a per-section basis.
1508
1509		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1510
1511		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1512		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1513		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1514		is slow.
1515
1516		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1517
1518		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1519
1520		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1521
1522		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1523		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1524
1525- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1526
1527		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1528		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1529		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1530		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1531		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1532		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1533		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1534		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1535
1536		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1537
1538		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1539		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1540		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1541		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1542		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1543		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1544
1545		Example:
1546		setenv splashpos m,m
1547			=> image at center of screen
1548
1549		setenv splashpos 30,20
1550			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1551
1552		setenv splashpos -10,m
1553			=> vertically centered image
1554			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1555
1556- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1557
1558		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1559		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1560		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1561
1562- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1563
1564		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1565		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1566		bmp command.
1567
1568- Do compresssing for memory range:
1569		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1570
1571		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1572		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1573
1574- Compression support:
1575		CONFIG_BZIP2
1576
1577		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1578		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1579		compressed images are supported.
1580
1581		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1582		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1583		be at least 4MB.
1584
1585		CONFIG_LZMA
1586
1587		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1588		images is included.
1589
1590		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1591		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1592		formula:
1593
1594			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1595
1596		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1597		and Literal pos bits.
1598
1599		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1600		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1601		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1602		a very small buffer.
1603
1604		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1605		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1606		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1607
1608- MII/PHY support:
1609		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1610
1611		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1612
1613		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1614
1615		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1616
1617		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1618
1619		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1620		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1621
1622		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1623
1624		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1625		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1626		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1627		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1628
1629		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1630
1631		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1632		command issued before MII status register can be read
1633
1634- Ethernet address:
1635		CONFIG_ETHADDR
1636		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
1637		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
1638		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
1639		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
1640		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
1641
1642		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1643		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
1644		is not determined automatically.
1645
1646- IP address:
1647		CONFIG_IPADDR
1648
1649		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1650		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1651		determined through e.g. bootp.
1652		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
1653
1654- Server IP address:
1655		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1656
1657		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1658		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1659		(Environment variable "serverip")
1660
1661		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1662
1663		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1664		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1665
1666- Gateway IP address:
1667		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1668
1669		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1670		default router where packets to other networks are
1671		sent to.
1672		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
1673
1674- Subnet mask:
1675		CONFIG_NETMASK
1676
1677		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1678		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1679		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1680		forwarded through a router.
1681		(Environment variable "netmask")
1682
1683- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1684		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1685
1686		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1687		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1688		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1689		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1690		multicast group.
1691
1692- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1693		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1694
1695		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1696		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1697		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1698		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1699		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1700		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1701		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1702		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1703		following delays are inserted then:
1704
1705		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1706		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1707		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1708		4th and following
1709		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1710
1711- DHCP Advanced Options:
1712		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1713		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1714
1715		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1716		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1717		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1718		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1719		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1720		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1721		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1722		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1723		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1724		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1725		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1726		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1727		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1728
1729		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1730		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1731
1732		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1733		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1734		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
1735		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1736		is not available.
1737
1738		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1739		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1740		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1741		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1742		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1743		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1744		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1745		is defined.
1746
1747		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1748		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1749		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1750		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1751		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1752		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1753
1754		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1755
1756		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1757		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1758		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1759		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1760		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1761		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1762		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1763		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1764		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1765		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1766		this delay.
1767
1768 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1769		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1770		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1771		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1772		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1773
1774		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1775
1776 - CDP Options:
1777		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1778
1779		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1780
1781		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1782
1783		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1784		of the device.
1785
1786		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1787
1788		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1789		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1790		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1791
1792		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1793
1794		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1795		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1796
1797		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1798
1799		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1800
1801		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1802
1803		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1804
1805		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1806
1807		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1808
1809		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1810
1811		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1812		device in .1 of milliwatts.
1813
1814		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1815
1816		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1817
1818- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1819
1820		Several configurations allow to display the current
1821		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1822		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1823		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1824		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1825		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1826		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1827		feature in U-Boot.
1828
1829- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1830
1831		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1832		on those systems that support this (optional)
1833		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1834
1835- I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1836
1837		These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
1838		(but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
1839		include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
1840
1841		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
1842		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
1843		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1844		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
1845		command line interface.
1846
1847		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
1848
1849		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
1850		bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1851		support for I2C.
1852
1853		There are several other quantities that must also be
1854		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
1855
1856		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
1857		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
1858		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
1859		the CPU's i2c node address).
1860
1861		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
1862		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
1863		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1864		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1865		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
1866
1867		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1868
1869		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1870		chips might think that the current transfer is still
1871		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
1872		commands until the slave device responds.
1873
1874		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
1875
1876		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1877		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1878		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
1879
1880		I2C_INIT
1881
1882		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
1883		controller or configure ports.
1884
1885		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
1886
1887		I2C_PORT
1888
1889		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1890		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1891		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
1892
1893		I2C_ACTIVE
1894
1895		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1896		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
1897		define can be null.
1898
1899		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
1900
1901		I2C_TRISTATE
1902
1903		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1904		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
1905		define can be null.
1906
1907		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1908
1909		I2C_READ
1910
1911		Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1912		FALSE if it is low.
1913
1914		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1915
1916		I2C_SDA(bit)
1917
1918		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1919		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1920
1921		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
1922			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
1923			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
1924
1925		I2C_SCL(bit)
1926
1927		If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1928		is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1929
1930		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
1931			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
1932			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
1933
1934		I2C_DELAY
1935
1936		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1937		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
1938		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
1939		like:
1940
1941		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
1942
1943		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1944
1945		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1946		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1947		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1948		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1949
1950		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1951		the generic GPIO functions.
1952
1953		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
1954
1955		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1956		chips might think that the current transfer is still
1957		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1958		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1959		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1960		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1961		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1962		is run early in the boot sequence.
1963
1964		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1965
1966		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1967		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1968		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1969		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1970		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1971		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1972		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1973		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
1974
1975		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1976
1977		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1978		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1979		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1980
1981		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1982
1983		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1984		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
1985		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1986		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1987
1988		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
1989
1990		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
1991		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1992		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
1993		a 1D array of device addresses
1994
1995		e.g.
1996			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1997			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
1998
1999		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2000
2001			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2002			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2003
2004		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2005
2006		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2007
2008		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2009		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2010
2011		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2012
2013		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2014		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2015
2016		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2017
2018		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2019		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2020
2021		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2022
2023		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2024		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2025		specified DTT device.
2026
2027		CONFIG_FSL_I2C
2028
2029		Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
2030		drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
2031
2032		CONFIG_I2C_MUX
2033
2034		Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
2035		I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
2036		Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
2037		new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
2038		new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
2039		the muxes to activate this new "bus".
2040
2041		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
2042		feature!
2043
2044		Example:
2045		Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
2046			The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
2047			The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
2048
2049		=> i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
2050
2051		Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
2052		of I2C Busses with muxes:
2053
2054		=> i2c bus
2055		Busses reached over muxes:
2056		Bus ID: 2
2057		  reached over Mux(es):
2058		    pca9544a@70 ch: 4
2059		Bus ID: 3
2060		  reached over Mux(es):
2061		    pca9544a@70 ch: 6
2062		    pca9544a@71 ch: 4
2063		=>
2064
2065		If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
2066		u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable
2067		channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable
2068		the channel 4.
2069
2070		After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
2071		usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind
2072		the 2 muxes.
2073
2074		This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
2075		algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
2076		Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
2077		to add this option to other architectures.
2078
2079		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2080
2081		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2082		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2083		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2084		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2085		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2086		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2087		the other.
2088
2089- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2090
2091		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2092		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2093		D/As on the SACSng board)
2094
2095		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2096
2097		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2098		only SH7757 is supported.
2099
2100		CONFIG_SPI_X
2101
2102		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2103		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2104
2105		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2106
2107		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2108		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2109		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2110		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2111		defined, the board configuration must define several
2112		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2113		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2114
2115		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2116
2117		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2118		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2119		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2120		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2121		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2122
2123		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2124
2125		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2126		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2127
2128- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2129
2130		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2131
2132		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2133
2134		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2135		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2136
2137		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2138
2139		Enables support for FPGA family.
2140		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2141
2142		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2143
2144		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2145
2146		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2147
2148		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2149
2150		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2151
2152		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2153		status by the configuration function. This option
2154		will require a board or device specific function to
2155		be written.
2156
2157		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2158
2159		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2160		configuration driver.
2161
2162		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2163		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2164
2165		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2166
2167		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2168		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2169		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2170		indicated a CRC error).
2171
2172		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2173
2174		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2175		after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2176		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2177		ms.
2178
2179		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2180
2181		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
2182		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2183
2184		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2185
2186		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2187		200 ms.
2188
2189- Configuration Management:
2190		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2191
2192		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2193		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2194
2195- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2196
2197		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2198		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2199		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2200		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2201		protects these variables from casual modification by
2202		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2203		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2204		change this behaviour:
2205
2206		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2207		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2208		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2209		these parameters.
2210
2211		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2212		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2213		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2214		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2215		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2216		read-only.]
2217
2218		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2219		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2220		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2221		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2222
2223- Protected RAM:
2224		CONFIG_PRAM
2225
2226		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2227		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2228		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2229		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2230		this default value by defining an environment
2231		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2232		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2233		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2234		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2235		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2236		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2237		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2238
2239			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2240			saveenv
2241
2242		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2243		either, which results in a memory region that will
2244		not be affected by reboots.
2245
2246		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2247		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2248		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2249		following board configurations are known to be
2250		"pRAM-clean":
2251
2252			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2253			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2254			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2255
2256- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2257		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2258		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2259		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2260		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2261		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2262		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2263
2264- Error Recovery:
2265		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2266
2267		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2268		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2269		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2270		system where you want the system to reboot
2271		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2272		useful during development since you can try to debug
2273		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2274
2275		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2276
2277		This variable defines the number of retries for
2278		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2279		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2280		default value of 5 is used.
2281
2282		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2283
2284		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2285
2286		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2287
2288		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2289		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2290		try longer timeout such as
2291		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2292
2293- Command Interpreter:
2294		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2295
2296		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2297
2298		Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2299		for the "hush" shell.
2300
2301
2302		CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
2303
2304		Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2305		Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2306		powerful command line syntax like
2307		if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2308		constructs ("shell scripts").
2309
2310		If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2311		with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2312
2313
2314		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2315
2316		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2317		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2318		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2319
2320	Note:
2321
2322		In the current implementation, the local variables
2323		space and global environment variables space are
2324		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2325		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2326		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2327		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2328		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2329
2330		Global environment variables are those you use
2331		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2332		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2333		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2334
2335		To store commands and special characters in a
2336		variable, please use double quotation marks
2337		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2338		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2339		symbols.
2340
2341- Commandline Editing and History:
2342		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2343
2344		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2345		commandline input operations
2346
2347- Default Environment:
2348		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2349
2350		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2351		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2352		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2353
2354		For example, place something like this in your
2355		board's config file:
2356
2357		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2358			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2359			"myvar2=value2\0"
2360
2361		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2362		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2363		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2364		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2365		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2366		You better know what you are doing here.
2367
2368		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2369		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2370		the environment like the "source" command or the
2371		boot command first.
2372
2373		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2374
2375		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2376		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2377		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2378
2379		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2380
2381		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2382		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2383		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2384		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2385		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2386
2387		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2388
2389		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2390		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2391		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2392
2393		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2394
2395		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2396		intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2397		that so that the environment is not available until
2398		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2399		this is instead controlled by the value of
2400		/config/load-environment.
2401
2402- DataFlash Support:
2403		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2404
2405		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2406		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2407		commands cp, md...
2408
2409- Serial Flash support
2410		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2411
2412		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2413		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2414
2415		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2416		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2417		commands.
2418
2419		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2420		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2421		flash is present on the system.
2422
2423		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2424		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2425		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2426		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2427
2428		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2429
2430		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2431		test ('sf test').
2432
2433- SystemACE Support:
2434		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2435
2436		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2437		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2438		of the chip must also be defined in the
2439		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2440
2441		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2442		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2443
2444		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2445		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2446
2447- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2448		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2449
2450		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2451		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2452		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2453		number generator is used.
2454
2455		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2456		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2457		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2458
2459		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2460		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2461		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2462		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2463		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2464		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2465		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2466
2467- Hashing support:
2468		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2469
2470		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2471		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2472
2473		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2474
2475		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2476		size a little.
2477
2478		CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2479		CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2480
2481		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2482		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2483
2484- Show boot progress:
2485		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2486
2487		Defining this option allows to add some board-
2488		specific code (calling a user-provided function
2489		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2490		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2491		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2492		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2493
2494- Detailed boot stage timing
2495		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2496		Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2497		of the boot process.
2498
2499		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2500		This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2501		Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2502		a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2503		the limit, recording will stop.
2504
2505		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2506		Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2507
2508		Timer summary in microseconds:
2509		       Mark    Elapsed  Stage
2510			  0          0  reset
2511		  3,575,678  3,575,678  board_init_f start
2512		  3,575,695         17  arch_cpu_init A9
2513		  3,575,777         82  arch_cpu_init done
2514		  3,659,598     83,821  board_init_r start
2515		  3,910,375    250,777  main_loop
2516		 29,916,167 26,005,792  bootm_start
2517		 30,361,327    445,160  start_kernel
2518
2519		CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2520		Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2521		and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2522
2523		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2524		Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2525		node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2526		has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2527		mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2528		accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2529		For example:
2530
2531		bootstage {
2532			154 {
2533				name = "board_init_f";
2534				mark = <3575678>;
2535			};
2536			170 {
2537				name = "lcd";
2538				accum = <33482>;
2539			};
2540		};
2541
2542		Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.
2543
2544Legacy uImage format:
2545
2546  Arg	Where			When
2547    1	common/cmd_bootm.c	before attempting to boot an image

2703		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
2704		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
2705		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
2706		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
2707
2708- Standalone program support:
2709		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2710
2711		This option defines a board specific value for the

2720		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
2721		when using a graphics controller has separate video
2722		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2723		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2724		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2725		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2726		configured panel size.
2727
2728		Please see board_init_f function.
2729
2730- Automatic software updates via TFTP server

2784		The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
2785
2786		CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK

2897Modem Support:
2898--------------
2899
2900[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
2901
2902- Modem support enable:
2903		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
2904
2905- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
2906		CONFIG_HWFLOW
2907
2908- Modem debug support:
2909		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
2910
2911		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
2912		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
2913
2914- Interrupt support (PPC):
2915
2916		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2917		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
2918		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
2919		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
2920		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
2921		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
2922		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
2923		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2924		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2925		general timer_interrupt().
2926
2927- General:
2928
2929		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2930		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2931		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
2932		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
2933		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2934		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2935		initialization.
2936
2937		If there are no modem init strings in the
2938		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2939		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
2940		suppressed, though.
2941
2942		See also: doc/README.Modem
2943
2944Board initialization settings:
2945------------------------------
2946
2947During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2948to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2949before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2950following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2951architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2952typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
2953
2954- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()

2994		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
2995
2996- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE

3005
3006- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3007		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3008		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3009
3010- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3011		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3012		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3013		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3014		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3015		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3016		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3017		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3018		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3019		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3020
3021		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3022		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3023		be touched.
3024
3025		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3026		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3027		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3028		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3029		problems.
3030
3031- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3032		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3033
3034- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3035		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3036
3037- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3038		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3039		Cogent motherboard)
3040
3041- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3042		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3043
3044- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3045		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3046		make config files to be same as the text base address
3047		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3048		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3049
3050- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3051		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3052		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3053		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3054		flash sector.
3055
3056- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3057		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3058
3059- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3060		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3061		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3062		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3063		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3064
3065- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3066		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3067		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3068		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3069		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3070		enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3071		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3072		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3073		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3074		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3075		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3076
3077- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3078		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3079		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3080		is enabled.
3081
3082- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3083		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3084		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3085
3086- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3087		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3088		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3089
3090- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3091		Max number of Flash memory banks
3092
3093- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3094		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3095
3096- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3097		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3098
3099- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3100		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3101
3102- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3103		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3104
3105- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3106		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3107
3108- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3109		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3110		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3111
3112- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3113
3114		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3115		without this option such a download has to be
3116		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3117		copy from RAM to flash.
3118
3119		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3120		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3121		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3122		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3123		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3124
3125- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3126		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3127		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3128
3129- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3130		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3131		in the drivers directory
3132
3133- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3134		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3135		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3136		to the MTD layer.
3137
3138- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3139		Use buffered writes to flash.
3140
3141- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3142		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3143		write commands.
3144
3145- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3146		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3147		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3148		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3149		optionally available.
3150
3151- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3152		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3153		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3154		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3155
3156- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3157		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3158		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3159		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3160		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3161		on high Ethernet traffic.
3162		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3163
3164- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3165
3166	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3167	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3168	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3169	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3170	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3171
3172- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3173- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3174	Enable validation of the values given to enviroment variables when
3175	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3176	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3177	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3178
3179	The format of the list is:
3180		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3181		access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
3182		attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
3183		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3184		list = entry[,list]
3185
3186	The type attributes are:
3187		s - String (default)
3188		d - Decimal
3189		x - Hexadecimal
3190		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3191		i - IP address
3192		m - MAC address
3193
3194	The access attributes are:
3195		a - Any (default)
3196		r - Read-only
3197		o - Write-once
3198		c - Change-default
3199
3200	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3201		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3202		envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3203
3204	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3205		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3206		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3207		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
3208		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3209		".flags" variable.
3210
3211- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3212	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3213	access flags.
3214
3215The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3216of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3217following configurations:
3218
3219- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3220
3221	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3222	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3223
3224- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3225
3226	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3227
3228	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3229	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3230	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3231	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3232	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3233	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3234	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3235	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3236	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3237	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3238	   between U-Boot and the environment.
3239
3240	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3241
3242	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3243	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3244	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3245	   for this sector is given here.
3246
3247	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3248
3249	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3250
3251	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
3252	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3253	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3254
3255	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3256
3257	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
3258
3259
3260	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3261	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3262	   the environment.
3263
3264	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3265
3266	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3267	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3268	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3269	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3270
3271	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3272	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3273	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3274	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3275	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3276	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
3277	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3278	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3279	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
3280
3281	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3282	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3283
3284	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3285	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3286	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3287	   a "saveenv" operation.
3288
3289BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3290source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3291accordingly!
3292
3293
3294- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3295
3296	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3297	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3298	environment.
3299
3300	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3301	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3302
3303	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3304	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3305	  can just be read and written to, without any special
3306	  provision.
3307
3308BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3309in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3310console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3311U-Boot will hang.
3312
3313Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3314environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3315keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3316to save the current settings.
3317
3318
3319- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3320
3321	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3322	device and a driver for it.
3323
3324	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3325	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3326
3327	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3328	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3329
3330	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3331	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3332	  The default address is zero.
3333
3334	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3335	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3336	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
3337	  would require six bits.
3338
3339	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3340	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3341	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
3342
3343	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3344	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
3345	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
3346
3347	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3348	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3349	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3350	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3351	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3352	  byte chips.
3353
3354	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3355	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3356	  in the chip address.
3357
3358	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3359	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3360
3361	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3362	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3363	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3364
3365	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3366	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3367	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3368	  EEPROM. For example:
3369
3370	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  "pca9547:70:d\0"
3371
3372	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3373	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3374
3375- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3376
3377	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3378	want to use for the environment.
3379
3380	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3381	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3382	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3383
3384	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3385	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3386	  at the specified address.
3387
3388- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3389
3390	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3391	want to use for the local device's environment.
3392
3393	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3394	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3395
3396	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3397	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
3398	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
3399	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3400
3401BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3402"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3403environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3404but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3405
3406- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3407
3408	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3409	for the environment.
3410
3411	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3412	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3413
3414	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3415	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3416	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3417
3418	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3419
3420	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3421	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3422	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3423	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
3424	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3425
3426	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3427
3428	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3429	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3430	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3431	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3432	  the range to be avoided.
3433
3434	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3435
3436	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3437	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
3438	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3439	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3440	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3441
3442- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3443
3444	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3445	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3446	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3447
3448- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
3449
3450	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3451	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3452	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3453	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3454	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3455	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3456	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3457
3458Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
3459has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
3460created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
3461until then to read environment variables.
3462
3463The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3464is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3465with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3466necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3467"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3468have any device yet where we could complain.]
3469
3470Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3471the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
3472use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
3473
3474- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
3475		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
3476
3477		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
3478		      also needs to be defined.
3479
3480- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
3481		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
3482
3483- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3484		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3485		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3486		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
3487		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3488		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3489
3490- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3491		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3492		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3493		to do this.
3494
3495- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3496		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3497		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3498		present.
3499
3500Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
3501---------------------------------------------------
3502
3503- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
3504		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
3505
3506- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
3507		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
3508
3509		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
3510		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
3511		the IMMR register after a reset.
3512
3513- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3514		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3515		PowerPC SOCs.
3516
3517- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3518		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3519		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3520
3521		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
3522		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
3523
3524- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3525		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
3526		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
3527		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
3528		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
3529		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
3530		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3531
3532		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3533			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3534
3535- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
3536		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
3537		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
3538		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3539		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3540
3541- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3542		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
3543		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3544		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3545
3546- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3547		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3548		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
3549
3550- Floppy Disk Support:
3551		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
3552
3553		the default drive number (default value 0)
3554
3555		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
3556
3557		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
3558		(default value 1)
3559
3560		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
3561
3562		defines the offset of register from address. It
3563		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
3564		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
3565
3566		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
3567		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
3568		default value.
3569
3570		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
3571		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
3572		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
3573		source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
3574		initializations.
3575
3576- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
3577		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3578		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3579		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3580		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3581		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
3582		is requierd.
3583
3584- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
3585		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
3586		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
3587
3588- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
3589
3590		Start address of memory area that can be used for
3591		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
3592		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
3593		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
3594		will become available only after programming the
3595		memory controller and running certain initialization
3596		sequences.
3597
3598		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
3599		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
3600		- MPC824X: data cache
3601		- PPC4xx:  data cache
3602
3603- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
3604
3605		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
3606		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3607		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
3608		data is located at the end of the available space
3609		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
3610		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
3611		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
3612		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
3613
3614	Note:
3615		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3616		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
3617		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
3618		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
3619		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

3653  CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL:
3654		Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer
3655		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
3656
3657- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
3658		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
3659		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
3660
3661- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
3662		enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
3663		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1]
3664
3665- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
3666		enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
3667		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
3668
3669- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
3670		Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
3671		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
3672		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
3673
3674- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
3675		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
3676		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
3677		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
3678		cpm_8260.h.
3679
3680- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
3681  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

3687  CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
3688		Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
3689
3690- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
3691		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
3692		required.
3693
3694- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
3695		Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
3696		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
3697		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
3698		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
3699		by coreboot or similar.
3700
3701- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
3702		Chip has SRIO or not
3703

3712
3713- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
3714		Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region

3721		16 bit bus.
3722
3723- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
3724		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
3725		a default value will be used.
3726
3727- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
3728		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
3729		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
3730
3731  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
3732		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
3733
3734- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
3735		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
3736		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
3737		to something your driver can deal with.
3738
3739- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
3740		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
3741		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
3742		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
3743		header files or board specific files.
3744
3745- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
3746		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
3747
3748- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
3749		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
3750		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
3751
3752- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
3753		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
3754
3755- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
3756		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
3757		to the given FEC; i. e.
3758			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
3759		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
3760
3761		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
3762
3763- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
3764		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
3765		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
3766
3767- CONFIG_RMII
3768		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
3769		Note that this is a global option, we can't
3770		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
3771
3772- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
3773		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
3774		The syntax is:
3775
3776		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
3777
3778		Where address/count indicate a memory area
3779		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
3780		area should have.
3781
3782- CONFIG_LOOPW
3783		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
3784		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
3785
3786- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
3787		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
3788		"md/mw" commands.
3789		Examples:
3790
3791		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
3792		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
3793
3794		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
3795		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
3796
3797		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
3798		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
3799
3800- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
3801		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
3802		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3803		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3804		relocate itself into RAM.
3805
3806		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3807		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3808		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3809		these initializations itself.
3810
3811- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
3812		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
3813		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
3814		compiling a NAND SPL.
3815
3816- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
3817		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
3818		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
3819		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
3820		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
3821		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
3822		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
3823		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
3824
3825- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
3826  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
3827		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
3828		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
3829		conditions but may increase the binary size.
3830
3831- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
3832		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
3833		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
3834
3835
3836Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3837-----------------------------------
3838
3839The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3840loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3841This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3842are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3843within that device.
3844
3845- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3846	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
3847	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3848	is also specified.
3849
3850- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3851	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
3852	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3853	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3854	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3855
3856- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3857	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3858	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3859	virtual address in NOR flash.
3860
3861- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3862	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3863	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3864
3865- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3866	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3867	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3868
3869- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
3870	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
3871	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3872
3873- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3874	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3875	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
3876	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3877	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3878	master's memory space.
3879
3880Building the Software:
3881======================
3882
3883Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3884and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3885all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3886(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3887recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3888which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
3889
3890If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3891have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3892you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3893Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3894necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
3895
3896	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3897	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
3898
3899Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3900      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3901      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3902      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
3903
3904       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3905
3906      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3907      be executed on computers running Windows.
3908
3909U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3910sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
3911is done by typing:
3912
3913	make NAME_config
3914
3915where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
3916rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
3917
3918Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3919      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3920      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3921      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
3922      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
3923
3924      make TQM823L_config
3925	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
3926
3927      make TQM823L_LCD_config
3928	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
3929
3930      etc.
3931
3932
3933Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3934images ready for download to / installation on your system:
3935
3936- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3937- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3938- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
3939
3940By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3941in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3942this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3943
39441. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3945
3946	make O=/tmp/build distclean
3947	make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3948	make O=/tmp/build all
3949
39502. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3951
3952	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3953	make distclean
3954	make NAME_config
3955	make all
3956
3957Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3958variable.
3959
3960
3961Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3962for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3963native "make".
3964
3965
3966If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3967to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3968steps:
3969
39701.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
3971    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
3972    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
39732.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3974    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3975    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
39763.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3977    your board
39783.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3979    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
39804.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
39815.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3982    to be installed on your target system.
39836.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3984    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
3985
3986
3987Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3988==============================================================
3989
3990If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3991or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
3992provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3993the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
3994official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
3995
3996But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3997cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
3998the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3999just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
4000for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4001select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4002environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4003you can type
4004
4005	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4006
4007or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4008
4009	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4010
4011When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4012U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4013setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4014built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4015<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4016location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4017variable. For example:
4018
4019	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4020	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4021	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4022
4023With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4024log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4025during the whole build process.

4080Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
4081========================================
4082
4083TODO.
4084
4085For now: just type "help <command>".
4086
4087
4088Environment Variables:
4089======================
4090
4091U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4092can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4093
4094Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4095"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4096without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4097environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4098working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4099environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4100
4101Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4102
4103List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4104
4105  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4106
4107  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4108
4109  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4110
4111  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4112
4113  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
4114
4115  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4116		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4117		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4118		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4119		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4120		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4121		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4122		  bootm_mapsize.
4123
4124  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4125		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4126		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4127		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4128		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4129		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4130		  used otherwise.
4131
4132  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4133		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4134		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4135		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4136		  environment variable.
4137
4138  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4139		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4140		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4141
4142  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4143		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4144		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4145		  load any image using TFTP
4146
4147  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4148		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4149		  be automatically started (by internally calling
4150		  "bootm")
4151
4152		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4153		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4154		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4155		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4156		  data.
4157
4158  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4159		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4160		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4161		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4162		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4163		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4164		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4165		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4166		  access it during the boot procedure.
4167
4168		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4169		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
4170		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4171		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4172		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4173		  must be accessible by the kernel.
4174
4175  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4176		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4177		  defined.
4178
4179  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4180		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4181		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4182		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4183		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
4184
4185  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
4186		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4187		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4188		  is usually what you want since it allows for
4189		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4190		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4191		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4192		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4193		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4194		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4195		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4196
4197		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4198		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4199		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4200		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4201		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4202		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
4203
4204		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4205
4206		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4207		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4208		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4209		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4210		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4211		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
4212		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4213
4214  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4215
4216  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4217		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4218
4219  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4220
4221  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4222
4223  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4224
4225  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4226
4227  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4228
4229  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
4230
4231  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
4232		  For example you can do the following
4233
4234		  => setenv ethact FEC
4235		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4236		  => setenv ethact SCC
4237		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4238
4239  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4240		  available network interfaces.
4241		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4242
4243  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
4244		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
4245		  When set to "once" the network operation will
4246		  fail when all the available network interfaces
4247		  are tried once without success.
4248		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4249		  themselves.
4250
4251  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
4252
4253  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4254		  UDP source port.
4255
4256  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4257		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4258
4259  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4260		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
4261
4262  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4263		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4264		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4265		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4266		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4267		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4268		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
4269
4270  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4271		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4272		  VLAN tagged frames.
4273
4274The following image location variables contain the location of images
4275used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4276not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4277variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4278server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4279loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4280flash or offset in NAND flash.
4281
4282*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4283boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4284boards use these variables for other purposes.
4285
4286Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
4287-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
4288u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
4289Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
4290device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
4291ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
4292
4293The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4294updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4295depending the information provided by your boot server:
4296
4297  bootfile	- see above
4298  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
4299  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4300  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4301  hostname	- Target hostname
4302  ipaddr	- see above
4303  netmask	- Subnet Mask
4304  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4305  serverip	- see above
4306
4307
4308There are two special Environment Variables:
4309
4310  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
4311		  as type string and/or serial number
4312  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
4313
4314These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4315the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4316once they have been set once.
4317
4318
4319Further special Environment Variables:
4320
4321  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4322		  with the "version" command. This variable is
4323		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4324
4325
4326Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4327only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4328
4329
4330Callback functions for environment variables:
4331---------------------------------------------
4332
4333For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4334when their values are changed.  This functionailty allows functions to
4335be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
4336deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4337effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4338
4339The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4340U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4341
4342These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
4343static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4344in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4345associations.  The list must be in the following format:
4346
4347	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4348	list = entry[,list]
4349
4350If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4351Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4352
4353Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4354with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
4355override any association in the static list. You can define
4356CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4357".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4358
4359
4360Command Line Parsing:
4361=====================
4362
4363There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4364the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
4365
4366Old, simple command line parser:
4367--------------------------------
4368
4369- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4370- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
4371- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
4372- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4373  for example:
4374	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
4375- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4376	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
4377
4378Hush shell:
4379-----------
4380
4381- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4382  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4383  until...do...done, ...
4384- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4385  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4386  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4387  command
4388
4389General rules:
4390--------------
4391
4392(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4393    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4394    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4395    executed anyway.
4396
4397(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
4398    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
4399    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4400    variables are not executed.
4401
4402Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4403=======================================
4404
4405Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
4406such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4407"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
4408
4409Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4410MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4411"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
4412
4413If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4414in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4415ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4416variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
4417
4418o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4419  environment, the SROM's address is used.
4420
4421o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4422  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4423  used.
4424
4425o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4426  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
4427
4428o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4429  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4430  warning is printed.
4431
4432o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4433  is raised.
4434
4435If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
4436will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
4437may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4438The naming convention is as follows:
4439"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
4440
4441Image Formats:
4442==============
4443
4444U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4445images in two formats:
4446
4447New uImage format (FIT)
4448-----------------------
4449
4450Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4451to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4452components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4453SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4454
4455
4456Old uImage format
4457-----------------
4458
4459Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4460preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4461details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

4482Linux Support:
4483==============
4484
4485Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4486easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4487U-Boot.
4488
4489U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4490special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4491"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4492instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4493serves several purposes:
4494
4495- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4496  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4497  Flash memory footprint)
4498
4499- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4500  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
4501
4502- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4503  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4504  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4505  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4506  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4507  software is easier now.
4508
4509
4510Linux HOWTO:
4511============
4512
4513Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4514---------------------------------------
4515
4516U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4517configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4518(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4519Linux :-).
4520
4521But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
4522
4523Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4524include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
4525Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4526and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
4527as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
4528
4529
4530Configuring the Linux kernel:
4531-----------------------------
4532
4533No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4534device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4535
4536
4537Building a Linux Image:
4538-----------------------
4539
4540With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4541not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4542"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4543U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4544which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4545100% compatible format.
4546
4547Example:
4548
4549	make TQM850L_config
4550	make oldconfig
4551	make dep
4552	make uImage
4553
4554The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4555encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
4556CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4557
4558* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4559
4560* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4561
4562	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4563				 -R .note -R .comment \
4564				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4565
4566* compress the binary image:
4567
4568	gzip -9 linux.bin
4569
4570* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4571
4572	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4573		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4574		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
4575
4576
4577The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4578with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4579combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4580byte header containing information about target architecture,
4581operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4582stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4583
4584"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4585print the header information, or to build new images.
4586
4587In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4588contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4589checksum verification:
4590
4591	tools/mkimage -l image
4592	  -l ==> list image header information
4593
4594The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4595from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4596
4597	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4598		      -n name -d data_file image
4599	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4600	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4601	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4602	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4603	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4604	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4605	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4606	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4607
4608Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4609address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4610kernel version:
4611
4612- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4613- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4614
4615So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4616
4617	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4618	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
4619	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
4620	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
4621	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4622	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4623	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4624	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4625	Load Address: 0x00000000
4626	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4627
4628To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4629
4630	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
4631	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4632	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4633	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4634	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4635	Load Address: 0x00000000
4636	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4637
4638NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4639speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4640needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4641need to be uncompressed:
4642
4643	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
4644	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4645	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
4646	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
4647	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
4648	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4649	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4650	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
4651	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
4652	Load Address: 0x00000000
4653	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4654
4655
4656Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4657when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
4658
4659	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
4660	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
4661	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
4662	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
4663	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
4664	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
4665	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
4666	Load Address: 0x00000000
4667	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4668
4669
4670Installing a Linux Image:
4671-------------------------
4672
4673To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4674you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4675
4676	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4677
4678The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4679image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4680address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4681specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4682command.
4683
4684Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4685TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4686
4687	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
4688
4689	.......... done
4690	Erased 8 sectors
4691
4692	=> loads 40100000
4693	## Ready for S-Record download ...
4694	~>examples/image.srec
4695	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
4696	...
4697	15989 15990 15991 15992
4698	[file transfer complete]
4699	[connected]
4700	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
4701
4702
4703You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
4704this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
4705corruption happened:
4706
4707	=> imi 40100000
4708
4709	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
4710	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L

4714	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
4715	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
4716
4717
4718Boot Linux:
4719-----------
4720
4721The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4722memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4723of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
4724parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
4725"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
4726
4727
4728	=> printenv bootargs
4729	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
4730
4731	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
4732
4733	=> printenv bootargs
4734	bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

4752If you want to boot a Linux kernel with initial RAM disk, you pass
4753the memory addresses of both the kernel and the initrd image (PPBCOOT

4850More About U-Boot Image Types:
4851------------------------------
4852
4853U-Boot supports the following image types:
4854
4855   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4856	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4857	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4858	the Standalone Program.
4859   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4860	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4861	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4862	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4863	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4864   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4865	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4866	being started.
4867   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4868	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4869	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4870	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4871	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4872	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
4873
4874	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4875	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4876	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4877	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4878	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4879	a multiple of 4 bytes).
4880
4881   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4882	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4883	flash memory.
4884
4885   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4886	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4887	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4888	as command interpreter.
4889
4890Booting the Linux zImage:
4891-------------------------
4892
4893On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4894using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4895as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4896
4897Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
4898kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4899address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4900format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
4901
4902
4903Standalone HOWTO:
4904=================

4906One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4907run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4908U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
4909
4910Two simple examples are included with the sources:
4911
4912"Hello World" Demo:
4913-------------------
4914
4915'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4916application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4917It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4918like that:
4919
4920	=> loads
4921	## Ready for S-Record download ...
4922	~>examples/hello_world.srec
4923	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
4924	[file transfer complete]
4925	[connected]
4926	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
4927
4928	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
4929	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
4930	Hello World
4931	argc = 7
4932	argv[0] = "40004"
4933	argv[1] = "Hello"
4934	argv[2] = "World!"
4935	argv[3] = "This"
4936	argv[4] = "is"
4937	argv[5] = "a"
4938	argv[6] = "test."
4939	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
4940	Hit any key to exit ...
4941
4942	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
4943
4944Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4945handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4946Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4947The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4948character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4949controlled by the following keys:
4950
4951	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4952	b - enable interrupts and start timer
4953	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
4954	q - quit application
4955
4956	=> loads
4957	## Ready for S-Record download ...

4991Minicom warning:
4992================
4993
4994Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4995"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4996consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4997Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4998especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
4999use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
5000http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5001for help with kermit.
5002
5003
5004Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5005configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5006
5007	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5008	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

5012NetBSD Notes:
5013=============
5014
5015Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5016(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5017
5018Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5019NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5020need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5021Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5022attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5023missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5024
5025	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5026	# mkdir powerpc
5027	# ln -s powerpc machine
5028	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5029	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5030
5031Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5032and U-Boot include files.
5033
5034Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5035stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5036proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5037tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5038meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5041Implementation Internals:
5042=========================
5043
5044The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5045implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5046inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5047hardware.
5048
5049
5050Initial Stack, Global Data:
5051---------------------------
5052
5053The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5054starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5055system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5056This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5057is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5058at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5059options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5060models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5061MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5062locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5063
5064	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5065	U-Boot mailing list:
5066
5067	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5068	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5069	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5070	...
5071
5072	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5073	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5074	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5075	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5076	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5077	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5078	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5079	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5080
5081	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5082	is another option for the system designer to use as an
5083	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5084	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5085	board designers haven't used it for something that would
5086	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5087	used.
5088
5089	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5090	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5091	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5092	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5093	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5094	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5095	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5096	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5097	you get the config right.

5101
5102It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5103code for the initialization procedures:
5104
5105* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5106  to write it.
5107
5108* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
5109  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5110  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5111
5112* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5113  that.
5114
5115Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5116normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5117turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5118simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5119functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5120functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5121the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5122place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5123reserve for this purpose.
5124
5125When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5126relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
5127GCC's implementation.
5128
5129For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5130	R1:	stack pointer
5131	R2:	reserved for system use
5132	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
5133	R5-R10: parameter passing
5134	R13:	small data area pointer
5135	R30:	GOT pointer
5136	R31:	frame pointer
5137
5138	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5139	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5140	going back and forth between asm and C)
5141
5142    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5143
5144    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5145    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5146    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5147    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5148    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5149    624 text + 127 data).
5150
5151On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
5152	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
5153
5154    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
5155
5156On ARM, the following registers are used:
5157
5158	R0:	function argument word/integer result
5159	R1-R3:	function argument word
5160	R9:	GOT pointer
5161	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled)
5162	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
5163	R12:	temporary workspace
5164	R13:	stack pointer
5165	R14:	link register
5166	R15:	program counter
5167
5168    ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data
5169
5170On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5171	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5172
5173    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5174
5175    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5176    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5177
5178On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5179
5180	R0-R1:	argument/return
5181	R2-R5:	argument
5182	R15:	temporary register for assembler
5183	R16:	trampoline register
5184	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
5185	R29:	global pointer (GP)
5186	R30:	link register (LP)
5187	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
5188	PC:	program counter (PC)
5189
5190    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5191
5192NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5193or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5194
5195Memory Management:
5196------------------
5197
5198U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5199MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5200
5201The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5202controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5203memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5204physical memory banks.
5205
5206U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5207TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5208booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5209to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5210memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5211configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5212Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5213
5214Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5215of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5216
5217So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5218this:
5219
5220	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
5221	      :
5222	0x0000 1FFF
5223	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
5224	      :
5225	      :
5226
5227	      :
5228	      :
5229	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5230	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5231	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
5232	      :
5233	0x00FD FFFF
5234	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5235	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5236	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5237	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
5238
5239
5240System Initialization:
5241----------------------
5242
5243In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5244(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5245configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5246To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5247To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5248initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5249which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5250part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5251the caches and the SIU.
5252
5253Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5254preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5255(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5256on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5257programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5258simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5259banks.
5260
5261When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5262different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5263bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
52640x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5265contiguous memory starting from 0.
5266
5267Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5268and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5269Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5270pages, and the final stack is set up.
5271
5272Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5273until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5274running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5275new address in RAM.

5352Coding Standards:
5353-----------------
5354
5355All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
5356coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
5357"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
5358
5359Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5360MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5361reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5362sources.
5363
5364Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5365Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5366in your code.
5367
5368Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5369- remove any trailing white space
5370- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
5371- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
5372- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
5373- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5374
5375Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5376with a request to reformat the changes.
5377
5378
5379Submitting Patches:
5380-------------------
5381
5382Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5383establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5384may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
5385
5386Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.

5388Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5389see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5390
5391When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5392it:
5393
5394* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5395  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5396  patch actually fixes something.
5397
5398* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5399  implementation.
5400
5401* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5402
5403* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
5404
5405* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
5406  board to the MAINTAINERS file, too.
5407
5408* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5409  document these in the README file.
5410
5411* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5412  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
5413  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
5414  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5415  with some other mail clients.
5416
5417  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5418  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5419  GNU diff.
5420
5421  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5422  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5423  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5424  affected files).
5425
5426  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5427  and compressed attachments must not be used.
5428
5429* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5430  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5431
5432* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5433  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5434
5435
5436Notes:
5437
5438* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
5439  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5440  for any of the boards.
5441
5442* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5443  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5444  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
5445
5446* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5447  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5448  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5449  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5450  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5451  modification.
5452
5453* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5454  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5455  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5456  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
