8Summary:
9========
10
11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out
38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board
39maintainers.
40
41Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree;
42it can be created dynamically from the Git log using:

223Software Configuration:
224=======================
225
226Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
227rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
228
229There are two classes of configuration variables:
230
231* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
232  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
233  "CONFIG_".
234
235* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
236  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
237  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
238  "CONFIG_SYS_".
239
240Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
241identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
242do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
243links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
244as an example here.
245
246
247Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
248---------------------------------------------------
249
250For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
251configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
252
253Example: For a TQM823L module type:
254
255	cd u-boot
256	make TQM823L_config
257
258For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
259e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
260directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
261
262
263Configuration Options:
264----------------------
265
266Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
267such information is kept in a configuration file
268"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
269
270Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
271"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
272
273
274Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
275kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
276build a config tool - later.
277
278
279The following options need to be configured:
280
281- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
282
283- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
284
285- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
286		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
287
288- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
289		Define exactly one of
290		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
291--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
292		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
293		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
294
295- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
296		Define exactly one of
297		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
298
299- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
300		Define one or more of
301		CONFIG_CMA302
302
303- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
304		Define one or more of
305		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
306					  the LCD display every second with
307					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
308
309- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined)
310		CONFIG_ADSTYPE
311		Possible values are:
312			CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS	- original MPC8260ADS
313			CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS	- MPC8266ADS
314			CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS	- PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR
315			CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS	- MPC8272ADS
316
317- Marvell Family Member
318		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
319					  multiple fs option at one time
320					  for marvell soc family
321
322- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined)
323		Define exactly one of
324		CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245
325
326- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
327		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
328					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
329					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
330					  reference PIT/RTC clock
331		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
332					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
333
334- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
335		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
336		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
337		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
338			See doc/README.MPC866
339
340		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
341
342		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
343		of relying on the correctness of the configured
344		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
345		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
346		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
347		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
348
349		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
350
351		Define this option if you want to enable the
352		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
353
354- 85xx CPU Options:
355		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
356
357		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
358		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
359		compliance, among other possible reasons.
360
361		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
362
363		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
364		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
365		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
366
367		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
368
369		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
370		tree nodes for the given platform.
371
372		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
373
374		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
375		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
376		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
377		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
378		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
379		purpose.
380
381		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
382
383		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
384		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
385		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
386
387		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
388		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
389
390		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
391		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
392
393		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
394		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
395		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
396		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
397
398		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
399		this erratum.
400
401		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
402		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
403		requred during NOR boot.
404
405		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
406
407		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
408		according to the A004510 workaround.
409
410		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
411		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
412		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
413
414		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
415		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
416		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
417
418		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
419		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
420		connected to the DSP core.
421
422		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
423		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
424
425		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
426		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
427		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
428		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
429
430- Generic CPU options:
431		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
432
433		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
434		values is arch specific.

528		Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
529		See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
530		Possible values are:
531			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
532			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
533			CONF_CM_UNCACHED
534			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
535			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
536			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
537			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
538			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
539
540		CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
541
542		Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
543		See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
544
545		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
546
547		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
548		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
549		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
550
551- ARM options:
552		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
553
554		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
555		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
556
557		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
558
559		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
560		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
561		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
562		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
563		GCC.
564
565		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
566		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
567		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
568		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
569
570		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
571		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
572		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
573		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
574		set these options unless they apply!
575
576- CPU timer options:
577		CONFIG_SYS_HZ
578
579		The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer().
580		get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG
581		option must be set to 1000.
582
583- Linux Kernel Interface:
584		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
585
586		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
587		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
588		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
589		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
590		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
591		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
592		Linux kernel.
593		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
594		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
595		default environment.
596
597		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
598
599		When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
600		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
601		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
602
603		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
604
605		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
606		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
607		concepts).
608
609		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
610		 * New libfdt-based support
611		 * Adds the "fdt" command
612		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
613
614		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
615			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
616		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
617			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
618		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
619		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
620
621		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
622		addresses
623
624		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
625
626		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
627		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
628
629		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
630
631		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
632		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
633
634		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
635
636		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
637		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
638		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
639		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
640		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
641		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
642
643		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
644
645		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
646		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
647		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
648		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
649		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
650		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
651		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
652
653- vxWorks boot parameters:
654
655		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
656		environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
657		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
658
659		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
660		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
661		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
662		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
663
664		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
665
666		Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
667
668		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
669		the defaults discussed just above.
670
671- Cache Configuration:
672		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
673		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
674		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
675
676- Cache Configuration for ARM:
677		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
678				      controller
679		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
680					controller register space
681
682- Serial Ports:
683		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
684
685		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
686
687		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
688
689		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
690
691		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
692
693		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
694		the clock speed of the UARTs.
695
696		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
697
698		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
699		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
700		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
701
702		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
703
704		Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
705		have separate receive and transmit line control registers.  Set
706		this variable to initialize the extra register.
707
708		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
709
710		On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
711		boot loader that has already initialized the UART.  Define this
712		variable to flush the UART at init time.
713
714
715- Console Interface:
716		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
717		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
718		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
719		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
720
721		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
722		port routines must be defined elsewhere
723		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
724
725		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
726		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
727		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
728			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
729						(default big endian)
730			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
731						rectangle fill
732						(cf. smiLynxEM)
733			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
734						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
735			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
736						(cols=pitch)
737			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
738			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
739			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
740						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
741			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
742			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
743						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
744			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
745						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
746			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
747						(i.e. i8042_getc)
748			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
749						(requires blink timer
750						cf. i8042.c)
751			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
752			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
753						upper right corner
754						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
755			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
756						upper left corner
757			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
758						linux_logo.h for logo.
759						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
760			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
761						additional board info beside
762						the logo
763
764		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
765		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
766		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
767
768		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
769		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
770		environment 'console=serial'.
771
772		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
773		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
774		the "silent" environment variable. See
775		doc/README.silent for more information.
776
777		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
778			is 0x00.
779		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
780			is 0xa0.
781
782- Console Baudrate:
783		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
784		Select one of the baudrates listed in
785		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
786		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
787
788- Console Rx buffer length
789		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
790		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
791		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
792		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
793		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
794		the SMC.
795
796- Pre-Console Buffer:
797		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
798		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
799		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
800		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
801		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
802		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
803		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
804		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
805		earlier bytes are discarded.
806
807		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
808		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
809
810- Safe printf() functions
811		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
812		the printf() functions. These are defined in
813		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
814		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
815		If this option is not given then these functions will
816		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
817		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
818
819- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
820		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
821		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
822		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
823		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
824
825		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
826		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
827		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
828		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
829		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
830		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
831		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
832		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
833		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
834		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
835		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
836		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
837
838- Autoboot Command:
839		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
840		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
841		define a command string that is automatically executed
842		when no character is read on the console interface
843		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
844
845		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
846		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
847		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
848		environment value "bootargs".
849
850		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
851		The value of these goes into the environment as
852		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
853		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
854		RAM and NFS.
855
856- Bootcount:
857		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
858		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
859		cycle, see:
860		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
861
862		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
863		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
864		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
865		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
866		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
867		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
868		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
869		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
870		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
871
872- Pre-Boot Commands:
873		CONFIG_PREBOOT
874
875		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
876		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
877		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
878		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
879		entering interactive mode.
880
881		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
882		automatically generated or modified. For an example
883		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
884		modified when the user holds down a certain
885		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
886		booting the systems
887
888- Serial Download Echo Mode:
889		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
890		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
891		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
892		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
893		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
894		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
895		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
896
897- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
898		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
899		Select one of the baudrates listed in
900		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
901
902- Monitor Functions:
903		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
904		from the build by using the #include files
905		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
906		commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
907		and augmenting with additional #define's
908		for wanted commands.
909
910		The default command configuration includes all commands
911		except those marked below with a "*".

1019
1020		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1021		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1022
1023	Other Commands:
1024		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1025
1026	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1027		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1028		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1029		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1030		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1031		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1032		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1033		initial stack and some data.
1034
1035
1036		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1037
1038- Regular expression support:
1039		CONFIG_REGEX
1040		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1041		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1042		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1043		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1044
1045- Device tree:
1046		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1047		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1048		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1049		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1050		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1051		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1052
1053		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1054		be done using one of the two options below:
1055
1056		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1057		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1058		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1059		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1060		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1061		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1062
1063		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1064		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1065		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1066		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1067
1068			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1069
1070		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1071		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1072		still use the individual files if you need something more
1073		exotic.
1074
1075- Watchdog:
1076		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1077		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1078		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1079		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1080		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1081		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1082		available, then no further board specific code should
1083		be needed to use it.
1084
1085		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1086		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1087		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1088		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1089
1090- U-Boot Version:
1091		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1092		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1093		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1094		version as printed by the "version" command.
1095		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1096		next reset.
1097
1098- Real-Time Clock:
1099
1100		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1101		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1102		following options:
1103
1104		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1105		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1106		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1107		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC

1109		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1110		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1111		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1112		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1113		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1114		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1115		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1116					  RV3029 RTC.
1117
1118		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1119		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1120
1121- GPIO Support:
1122		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1123
1124		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1125		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1126		pins supported by a particular chip.
1127
1128		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1129		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1130
1131- Timestamp Support:
1132
1133		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1134		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1135		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1136		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1137
1138- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1139		Zero or more of the following:
1140		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.

1144		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1145				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1146				       disk/part_efi.c
1147		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1148
1149		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1150		CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1151		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1152
1153- IDE Reset method:
1154		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1155		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1156
1157		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1158		be performed by calling the function
1159			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1160		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1161
1162- ATAPI Support:
1163		CONFIG_ATAPI
1164
1165		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1166
1167- LBA48 Support
1168		CONFIG_LBA48
1169
1170		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1171		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1172		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1173		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1174
1175		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1176			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1177			Default is 32bit.
1178
1179- SCSI Support:
1180		At the moment only there is only support for the
1181		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1182		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1183
1184		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1185		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1186		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1187		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1188		devices.
1189		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1190
1191		The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1192		SCSI devices found during the last scan.
1193
1194- NETWORK Support (PCI):
1195		CONFIG_E1000
1196		Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1197
1198		CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1199		Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1200		This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1201		of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1202
1203		CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1204		Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1205		example with the "sspi" command.
1206
1207		CONFIG_CMD_E1000

1276		Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet
1277
1278			CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA
1279			Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1280			Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1281			If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1282			wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1283			useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1284			control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1285			correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1286
1287		CONFIG_SMC911X
1288		Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips

1340			to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at
1341			0xfed40000.
1342
1343		CONFIG_CMD_TPM
1344		Add tpm monitor functions.
1345		Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also
1346		provides monitor access to authorized functions.
1347
1348		CONFIG_TPM
1349		Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides
1350		functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
1351		Requires support for a TPM device.
1352
1353		CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
1354		Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.

1356
1357- USB Support:
1358		At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1359		supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
1360		CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1361		define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1362		and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1363		storage devices.
1364		Note:
1365		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives

1384		CONFIG_USB_HUB_MIN_POWER_ON_DELAY defines the minimum
1385		interval for usb hub power-on delay.(minimum 100msec)
1386
1387- USB Device:
1388		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1389		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1390		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1391		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1392		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1393		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1394		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1395		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1396		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1397		a Linux host by
1398		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1399		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1400		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1401		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1402
1403			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1404			Define this to build a UDC device
1405
1406			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1407			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1408			talk to the UDC device
1409
1410			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1411			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1412			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1413			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1414			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1415			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1416			speed.
1417
1418			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1419			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1420			be set to usbtty.
1421
1422			mpc8xx:
1423				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1424				Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1425				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1426
1427				CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1428				Derive USB clock from brgclk
1429				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1430
1431		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1432		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1433		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1434		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1435		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1436		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1437
1438			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1439			Define this string as the name of your company for
1440			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1441
1442			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1443			Define this string as the name of your product
1444			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1445
1446			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1447			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1448			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1449			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1450			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1451
1452			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1453			Define this as the unique Product ID
1454			for your device
1455			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1456
1457		Some USB device drivers may need to check USB cable attachment.
1458		In this case you can enable following config in BoardName.h:
1459			CONFIG_USB_CABLE_CHECK
1460			This enables function definition:
1461			- usb_cable_connected() in include/usb.h
1462			Implementation of this function is board-specific.
1463
1464- ULPI Layer Support:
1465		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1466		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1467		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1468		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1469		viewport is supported.
1470		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1471		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1472		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1473		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1474		the appropriate value in Hz.
1475
1476- MMC Support:
1477		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1478		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1479		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1480		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1481		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1482		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1483
1484		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1485		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1486
1487			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1488			Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1489
1490			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1491			Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1492
1493- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1494		CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1495		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1496
1497		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1498		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1499		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1500		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1501		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1502
1503		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1504		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1505
1506		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1507		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1508
1509		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1510		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1511		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1512		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1513		one that would help mostly the developer.
1514
1515		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1516		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1517		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1518		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1519		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1520
1521		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1522		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1523		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1524		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1525		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1526		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1527
1528- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1529		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1530		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1531		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1532
1533		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1534		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1535		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1536
1537		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1538		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1539		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1540
1541		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1542		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1543		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1544		have not defined a custom partition
1545
1546- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1547		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1548
1549		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1550		file in FAT formatted partition.
1551
1552		This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1553		user to write files to FAT.
1554
1555CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1556		CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1557
1558		Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1559		filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1560		and cbfsload.
1561
1562- Keyboard Support:
1563		CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
1564
1565		Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1566		support
1567
1568		CONFIG_I8042_KBD
1569		Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1570		GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1571		Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1572		for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1573
1574		CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB
1575		Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface.
1576		This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller
1577		which provides key scans on request.
1578
1579- Video support:
1580		CONFIG_VIDEO
1581
1582		Define this to enable video support (for output to
1583		video).
1584
1585		CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1586
1587		Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1588
1589		CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1590		Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1591		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1592		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1593		assumed.
1594
1595		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1596		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1597		are possible:
1598		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1599		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1600
1601		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1602		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1603		      8 bits |	0x301*	0x303	 0x305	  0x161	    0x307
1604		     15 bits |	0x310	0x313	 0x316	  0x162	    0x319
1605		     16 bits |	0x311	0x314	 0x317	  0x163	    0x31A
1606		     24 bits |	0x312	0x315	 0x318	    ?	    0x31B
1607		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1608		(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1609
1610		- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1611		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1612
1613
1614		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1615		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1616		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1617		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1618
1619		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1620		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1621		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1622		support, and should also define these other macros:
1623
1624			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1625			CONFIG_VIDEO
1626			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1627			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1628			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1629			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1630			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1631			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1632
1633		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1634		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1635		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1636		description of this variable.
1637
1638		CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1639
1640		Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1641		are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1642		driver.
1643
1644
1645- Keyboard Support:
1646		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1647
1648		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1649		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1650		defined in your board-specific files.
1651		The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1652
1653- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1654
1655		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1656		display); also select one of the supported displays
1657		by defining one of these:
1658
1659		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1660
1661			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1662
1663		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1664
1665			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1666
1667		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1668
1669			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1670			Active, color, single scan.
1671
1672		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1673
1674			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1675			Active, color, single scan.
1676
1677		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1678
1679			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1680			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1681
1682		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1683
1684			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1685			Active, color, single scan.
1686
1687		CONFIG_HLD1045
1688
1689			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1690			Active, color, single scan.
1691
1692		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1693
1694			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1695			or
1696			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1697			or
1698			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1699
1700			320x240. Black & white.
1701
1702		Normally display is black on white background; define
1703		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1704
1705		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1706
1707		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1708		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1709		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1710		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1711		a per-section basis.
1712
1713		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1714
1715		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1716		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1717		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1718		is slow.
1719
1720		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1721
1722		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1723
1724		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1725
1726		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1727		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1728
1729- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1730
1731		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1732		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1733		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1734		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1735		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1736		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1737		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1738		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1739
1740		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1741
1742		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1743		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1744		(see README.displaying-bmps).
1745		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1746		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1747		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1748		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1749		there is no need to set this option.
1750
1751		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1752
1753		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1754		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1755		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1756		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1757		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1758		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1759
1760		Example:
1761		setenv splashpos m,m
1762			=> image at center of screen
1763
1764		setenv splashpos 30,20
1765			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1766
1767		setenv splashpos -10,m
1768			=> vertically centered image
1769			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1770
1771- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1772
1773		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1774		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1775		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1776
1777- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1778
1779		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1780		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1781		bmp command.
1782
1783- Do compresssing for memory range:
1784		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1785
1786		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1787		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1788
1789- Compression support:
1790		CONFIG_GZIP
1791
1792		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1793
1794		CONFIG_BZIP2
1795
1796		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1797		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1798		compressed images are supported.
1799
1800		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1801		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1802		be at least 4MB.
1803
1804		CONFIG_LZMA
1805
1806		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1807		images is included.
1808
1809		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1810		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1811		formula:
1812
1813			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1814
1815		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1816		and Literal pos bits.
1817
1818		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1819		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1820		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1821		a very small buffer.
1822
1823		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1824		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1825		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1826
1827		CONFIG_LZO
1828
1829		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1830		is included.
1831
1832- MII/PHY support:
1833		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1834
1835		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1836
1837		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1838
1839		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1840
1841		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1842
1843		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1844		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1845
1846		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1847
1848		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1849		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1850		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1851		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1852
1853		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1854
1855		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1856		command issued before MII status register can be read
1857
1858- Ethernet address:
1859		CONFIG_ETHADDR
1860		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
1861		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
1862		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
1863		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
1864		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
1865
1866		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
1867		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
1868		is not determined automatically.
1869
1870- IP address:
1871		CONFIG_IPADDR
1872
1873		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1874		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1875		determined through e.g. bootp.
1876		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
1877
1878- Server IP address:
1879		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1880
1881		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1882		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1883		(Environment variable "serverip")
1884
1885		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1886
1887		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1888		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1889
1890- Gateway IP address:
1891		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1892
1893		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1894		default router where packets to other networks are
1895		sent to.
1896		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
1897
1898- Subnet mask:
1899		CONFIG_NETMASK
1900
1901		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1902		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1903		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1904		forwarded through a router.
1905		(Environment variable "netmask")
1906
1907- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1908		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1909
1910		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1911		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1912		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1913		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1914		multicast group.
1915
1916- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1917		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1918
1919		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1920		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1921		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1922		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1923		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1924		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1925		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1926		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1927		following delays are inserted then:
1928
1929		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1930		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1931		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1932		4th and following
1933		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1934
1935- DHCP Advanced Options:
1936		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1937		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1938
1939		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1940		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1941		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1942		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1943		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1944		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1945		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1946		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1947		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1948		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1949		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1950		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1951		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1952
1953		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1954		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1955
1956		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1957		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1958		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
1959		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1960		is not available.
1961
1962		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1963		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1964		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1965		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1966		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1967		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1968		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1969		is defined.
1970
1971		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1972		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1973		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1974		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1975		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1976		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1977
1978		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1979
1980		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1981		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1982		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1983		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1984		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1985		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1986		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1987		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1988		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1989		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1990		this delay.
1991
1992 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1993		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1994		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1995		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1996		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1997
1998		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1999
2000 - CDP Options:
2001		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2002
2003		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2004
2005		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2006
2007		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2008		of the device.
2009
2010		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2011
2012		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2013		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2014		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2015
2016		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2017
2018		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2019		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2020
2021		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2022
2023		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2024
2025		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2026
2027		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2028
2029		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2030
2031		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2032
2033		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2034
2035		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2036		device in .1 of milliwatts.
2037
2038		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2039
2040		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2041
2042- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2043
2044		Several configurations allow to display the current
2045		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2046		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2047		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2048		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2049		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2050		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2051		feature in U-Boot.
2052
2053		Additional options:
2054
2055		CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2056		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2057		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2058		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2059		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2060
2061		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2062		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2063		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2064		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2065		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2066		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2067
2068- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2069
2070		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2071		on those systems that support this (optional)
2072		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2073
2074- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2075
2076		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2077		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2078		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2079		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2080		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2081		interface.

2185		    with a fix speed from 100000 and the slave addr 0!
2186
2187		additional defines:
2188
2189		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2190		Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2191		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2192		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2193		omit this define.
2194
2195		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2196		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2197		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2198		omit this define.
2199
2200		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2201		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2202		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2203		define.
2204
2205		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2206		hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2207		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2208		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2209		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2210
2211		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2212					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2213					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2214					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2215					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2216					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2217					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2218					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2219					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2220					}
2221
2222		which defines
2223			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2224			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2225			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2226			bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2227			bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2228			bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2229			bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2230			bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2231			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2232
2233		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2234
2235- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2236
2237		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2238		provides the following compelling advantages:
2239
2240		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2241		- approved multibus support
2242		- better i2c mux support
2243
2244		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2245
2246		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2247		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2248		for the selected CPU.
2249
2250		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2251		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2252		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2253		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2254		command line interface.
2255
2256		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2257
2258		There are several other quantities that must also be
2259		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2260
2261		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2262		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2263		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2264		the CPU's i2c node address).
2265
2266		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2267		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2268		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2269		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2270		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2271
2272		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2273
2274		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2275		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2276		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2277		commands until the slave device responds.
2278
2279		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2280
2281		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2282		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2283		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2284
2285		I2C_INIT
2286
2287		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2288		controller or configure ports.
2289
2290		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2291
2292		I2C_PORT
2293
2294		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2295		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2296		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2297
2298		I2C_ACTIVE
2299
2300		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2301		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2302		define can be null.
2303
2304		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2305
2306		I2C_TRISTATE
2307
2308		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2309		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2310		define can be null.
2311
2312		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2313
2314		I2C_READ
2315
2316		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2317		false if it is low.
2318
2319		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2320
2321		I2C_SDA(bit)
2322
2323		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2324		is false, it clears it (low).
2325
2326		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2327			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2328			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2329
2330		I2C_SCL(bit)
2331
2332		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2333		is false, it clears it (low).
2334
2335		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2336			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2337			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2338
2339		I2C_DELAY
2340
2341		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2342		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2343		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2344		like:
2345
2346		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2347
2348		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2349
2350		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2351		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2352		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2353		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2354
2355		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2356		the generic GPIO functions.
2357
2358		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2359
2360		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2361		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2362		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2363		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2364		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2365		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2366		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2367		is run early in the boot sequence.
2368
2369		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2370
2371		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2372		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2373		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2374		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2375		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2376		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2377		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2378		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2379
2380		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2381
2382		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2383		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2384		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2385
2386		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2387
2388		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2389		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2390		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2391		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2392
2393		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2394
2395		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2396		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2397		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2398		a 1D array of device addresses
2399
2400		e.g.
2401			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2402			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2403
2404		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2405
2406			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2407			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2408
2409		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2410
2411		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2412
2413		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2414		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2415
2416		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2417
2418		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2419		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2420
2421		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2422
2423		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2424		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2425
2426		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2427
2428		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2429		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2430		specified DTT device.
2431
2432		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2433
2434		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2435		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2436		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2437		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2438		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2439		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2440		the other.
2441
2442- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2443
2444		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2445		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2446		D/As on the SACSng board)
2447
2448		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2449
2450		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2451		only SH7757 is supported.
2452
2453		CONFIG_SPI_X
2454
2455		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2456		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2457
2458		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2459
2460		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2461		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2462		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2463		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2464		defined, the board configuration must define several
2465		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2466		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2467
2468		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2469
2470		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2471		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2472		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2473		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2474		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2475
2476		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2477
2478		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2479		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2480
2481- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2482
2483		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2484
2485		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2486
2487		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2488		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2489
2490		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2491
2492		Enables support for FPGA family.
2493		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2494
2495		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2496
2497		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2498
2499		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2500
2501		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2502
2503		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2504
2505		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2506		status by the configuration function. This option
2507		will require a board or device specific function to
2508		be written.
2509
2510		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2511
2512		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2513		configuration driver.
2514
2515		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2516		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2517
2518		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2519
2520		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2521		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2522		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2523		indicated a CRC error).
2524
2525		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2526
2527		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert
2528		after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II
2529		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2530		ms.
2531
2532		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2533
2534		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during
2535		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2536
2537		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2538
2539		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2540		200 ms.
2541
2542- Configuration Management:
2543		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2544
2545		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2546		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2547
2548- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2549
2550		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2551		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2552		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2553		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2554		protects these variables from casual modification by
2555		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2556		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2557		change this behaviour:
2558
2559		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2560		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2561		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2562		these parameters.
2563
2564		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2565		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2566		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2567		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2568		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2569		read-only.]
2570
2571		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2572		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2573		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2574		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2575
2576- Protected RAM:
2577		CONFIG_PRAM
2578
2579		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2580		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2581		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2582		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2583		this default value by defining an environment
2584		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2585		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2586		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2587		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2588		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2589		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2590		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2591
2592			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2593			saveenv
2594
2595		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2596		either, which results in a memory region that will
2597		not be affected by reboots.
2598
2599		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2600		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2601		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2602		following board configurations are known to be
2603		"pRAM-clean":
2604
2605			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2606			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2607			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2608
2609- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2610		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2611		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2612		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2613		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2614		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2615		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2616
2617- Error Recovery:
2618		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2619
2620		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2621		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2622		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2623		system where you want the system to reboot
2624		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2625		useful during development since you can try to debug
2626		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2627
2628		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2629
2630		This variable defines the number of retries for
2631		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2632		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2633		default value of 5 is used.
2634
2635		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2636
2637		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2638
2639		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2640
2641		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2642		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2643		try longer timeout such as
2644		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2645
2646- Command Interpreter:
2647		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2648
2649		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2650
2651		Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2652		for the "hush" shell.
2653
2654
2655		CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
2656
2657		Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2658		Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2659		powerful command line syntax like
2660		if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2661		constructs ("shell scripts").
2662
2663		If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2664		with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2665
2666
2667		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2668
2669		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2670		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2671		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2672
2673	Note:
2674
2675		In the current implementation, the local variables
2676		space and global environment variables space are
2677		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2678		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2679		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2680		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2681		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2682
2683		Global environment variables are those you use
2684		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2685		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2686		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2687
2688		To store commands and special characters in a
2689		variable, please use double quotation marks
2690		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2691		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2692		symbols.
2693
2694- Commandline Editing and History:
2695		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2696
2697		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2698		commandline input operations
2699
2700- Default Environment:
2701		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2702
2703		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2704		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2705		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2706
2707		For example, place something like this in your
2708		board's config file:
2709
2710		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2711			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2712			"myvar2=value2\0"
2713
2714		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2715		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2716		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2717		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2718		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2719		You better know what you are doing here.
2720
2721		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2722		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2723		the environment like the "source" command or the
2724		boot command first.
2725
2726		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2727
2728		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2729		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2730		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2731
2732		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2733
2734		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2735		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2736		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2737		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2738		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2739
2740		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2741
2742		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2743		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2744		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2745
2746		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2747
2748		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2749		intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2750		that so that the environment is not available until
2751		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2752		this is instead controlled by the value of
2753		/config/load-environment.
2754
2755- DataFlash Support:
2756		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2757
2758		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2759		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2760		commands cp, md...
2761
2762- Serial Flash support
2763		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2764
2765		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2766		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2767
2768		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2769		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2770		commands.
2771
2772		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2773		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2774		flash is present on the system.
2775
2776		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2777		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2778		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2779		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2780
2781		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2782
2783		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2784		test ('sf test').
2785
2786		CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR		Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2787
2788		Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2789		support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2790
2791		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
2792
2793		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2794		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2795		currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2796
2797- SystemACE Support:
2798		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2799
2800		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2801		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2802		of the chip must also be defined in the
2803		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2804
2805		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2806		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2807
2808		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2809		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2810
2811- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2812		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2813
2814		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2815		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2816		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2817		number generator is used.
2818
2819		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2820		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2821		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2822
2823		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2824		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2825		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2826		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2827		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2828		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2829		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2830
2831- Hashing support:
2832		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2833
2834		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2835		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2836
2837		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2838
2839		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2840		size a little.
2841
2842		CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
2843		CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
2844
2845		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2846		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2847
2848- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2849		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2850		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2851		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2852
2853		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
2854		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
2855		a boot from specific media.
2856
2857		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
2858		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
2859		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
2860		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
2861		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
2862
2863- Signing support:
2864		CONFIG_RSA
2865
2866		This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
2867		in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
2868
2869		The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
2870		option.
2871
2872- bootcount support:
2873		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2874
2875		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2876		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2877
2878		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2879		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2880		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
2881		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
2882		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2883		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2884		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2885		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2886		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2887		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2888			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2889			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2890						    the bootcounter.
2891			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2892
2893- Show boot progress:
2894		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2895
2896		Defining this option allows to add some board-
2897		specific code (calling a user-provided function
2898		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2899		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2900		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2901		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2902
2903- Detailed boot stage timing
2904		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
2905		Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
2906		of the boot process.
2907
2908		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
2909		This is the number of available user bootstage records.
2910		Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
2911		a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
2912		the limit, recording will stop.
2913
2914		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
2915		Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
2916
2917		Timer summary in microseconds:
2918		       Mark    Elapsed  Stage
2919			  0          0  reset
2920		  3,575,678  3,575,678  board_init_f start
2921		  3,575,695         17  arch_cpu_init A9
2922		  3,575,777         82  arch_cpu_init done
2923		  3,659,598     83,821  board_init_r start
2924		  3,910,375    250,777  main_loop
2925		 29,916,167 26,005,792  bootm_start
2926		 30,361,327    445,160  start_kernel
2927
2928		CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
2929		Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
2930		and un/stashing of bootstage data.
2931
2932		CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
2933		Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
2934		node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
2935		has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
2936		mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
2937		accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
2938		For example:
2939
2940		bootstage {
2941			154 {
2942				name = "board_init_f";
2943				mark = <3575678>;
2944			};
2945			170 {
2946				name = "lcd";
2947				accum = <33482>;
2948			};
2949		};
2950
2951		Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3107		CONFIG_FIT
3108		Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3109
3110		CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3111		When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3112		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3113		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3114		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3115		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3116
3117		CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3118		This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3119		using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See
3120		doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3121
3122- Standalone program support:
3123		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3124
3125		This option defines a board specific value for the
3126		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus

3128		settings.
3129
3130- Frame Buffer Address:
3131		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3132
3133		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3134		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3135		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3136		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3137		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3138		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3139		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3140		configured panel size.
3141
3142		Please see board_init_f function.
3143
3144- Automatic software updates via TFTP server

3172
3173		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3174		warnings and errors enabled.
3175
3176- UBIFS support
3177		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3178
3179		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3180		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3181
3182		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3183
3184		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3185

3405		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3406		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3407
3408Modem Support:
3409--------------
3410
3411[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3412
3413- Modem support enable:
3414		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3415
3416- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3417		CONFIG_HWFLOW
3418
3419- Modem debug support:
3420		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3421
3422		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3423		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3424
3425- Interrupt support (PPC):
3426
3427		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3428		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3429		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3430		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3431		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3432		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3433		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3434		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3435		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3436		general timer_interrupt().
3437
3438- General:
3439
3440		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3441		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3442		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3443		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3444		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3445		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3446		initialization.
3447
3448		If there are no modem init strings in the
3449		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3450		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3451		suppressed, though.
3452

3458During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3459to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3460before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3461following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3462architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3463typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3464
3465- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3466- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3467- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3468- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3469
3470Configuration Settings:
3471-----------------------
3472
3473- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3474		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3475
3476- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3477		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3478
3479- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3480		prompt for user input.
3481
3482- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3483
3484- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3485
3486- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3487
3488- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3489		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3490		booted
3491
3492- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3493		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3494
3495- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3496		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3497
3498- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3499		If the board specific function
3500			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3501		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3502		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3503
3504- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3505		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3506
3507- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3508		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3509
3510- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3511		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3512		simple memory test.
3513
3514- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3515		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3516
3517- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3518		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3519		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3520
3521- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3522		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3523		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3524		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3525		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3526		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3527		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3528		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3529		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3530		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3531
3532		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3533		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3534		be touched.
3535
3536		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3537		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3538		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3539		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3540		problems.
3541
3542- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3543		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3544
3545- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3546		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3547
3548- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3549		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3550		Cogent motherboard)
3551
3552- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3553		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3554
3555- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3556		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3557		make config files to be same as the text base address
3558		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3559		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3560
3561- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3562		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3563		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3564		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3565		flash sector.
3566
3567- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3568		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3569
3570- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3571		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3572		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3573		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3574		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3575
3576- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3577		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3578		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3579		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3580		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3581		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3582		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3583		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3584		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3585		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3586		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3587
3588- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3589		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3590		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3591		is enabled.
3592
3593- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3594		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3595		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3596
3597- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3598		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3599		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3600
3601- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3602		Max number of Flash memory banks
3603
3604- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3605		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3606
3607- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3608		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3609
3610- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3611		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3612
3613- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3614		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3615
3616- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3617		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3618
3619- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3620		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3621		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3622
3623- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3624
3625		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3626		without this option such a download has to be
3627		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3628		copy from RAM to flash.
3629
3630		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3631		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3632		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3633		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3634		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3635
3636- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3637		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3638		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3639
3640- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3641		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3642		in the drivers directory
3643
3644- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3645		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3646		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3647		to the MTD layer.
3648
3649- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3650		Use buffered writes to flash.
3651
3652- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3653		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3654		write commands.
3655
3656- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3657		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3658		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3659		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3660		optionally available.
3661
3662- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3663		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3664		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3665		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3666
3667- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3668		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3669		against the source after the write operation. An error message
3670		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3671		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3672		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3673		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3674		this option if you really know what you are doing.
3675
3676- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3677		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3678		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3679		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3680		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3681		on high Ethernet traffic.
3682		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3683
3684- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3685
3686	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3687	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3688	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3689	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3690	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3691
3692- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3693- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3694	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3695	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3696	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3697	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3698
3699	The format of the list is:
3700		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3701		access_atribute = [a|r|o|c]
3702		attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute]
3703		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3704		list = entry[,list]
3705
3706	The type attributes are:
3707		s - String (default)
3708		d - Decimal
3709		x - Hexadecimal
3710		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3711		i - IP address
3712		m - MAC address
3713
3714	The access attributes are:
3715		a - Any (default)
3716		r - Read-only
3717		o - Write-once
3718		c - Change-default
3719
3720	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3721		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3722		envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3723
3724	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3725		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3726		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3727		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
3728		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3729		".flags" variable.
3730
3731- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3732	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3733	access flags.
3734
3735- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
3736	This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
3737	architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
3738	to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
3739	arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
3740	common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
3741	must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
3742	its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
3743	your board please report the problem and send patches!
3744
3745- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3746	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3747	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3748	the value can be calulated on a given board.
3749
3750The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3751of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3752following configurations:
3753
3754- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3755
3756	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3757	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3758
3759- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3760
3761	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3762
3763	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3764	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3765	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3766	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3767	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3768	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3769	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3770	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3771	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3772	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3773	   between U-Boot and the environment.
3774
3775	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3776
3777	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3778	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3779	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3780	   for this sector is given here.
3781
3782	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3783
3784	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3785
3786	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
3787	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3788	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3789
3790	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3791
3792	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
3793
3794
3795	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3796	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3797	   the environment.
3798
3799	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3800
3801	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3802	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3803	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3804	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3805
3806	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3807	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3808	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3809	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3810	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3811	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
3812	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3813	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3814	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
3815
3816	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3817	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3818
3819	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3820	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3821	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3822	   a "saveenv" operation.
3823
3824BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3825source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3826accordingly!
3827
3828
3829- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3830
3831	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3832	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3833	environment.
3834
3835	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3836	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3837
3838	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3839	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3840	  can just be read and written to, without any special
3841	  provision.
3842
3843BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3844in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3845console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3846U-Boot will hang.
3847
3848Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3849environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3850keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3851to save the current settings.
3852
3853
3854- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3855
3856	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3857	device and a driver for it.
3858
3859	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3860	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3861
3862	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3863	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3864
3865	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3866	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3867	  The default address is zero.
3868
3869	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3870	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3871	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
3872	  would require six bits.
3873
3874	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3875	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3876	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
3877
3878	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3879	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
3880	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
3881
3882	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3883	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3884	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3885	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3886	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3887	  byte chips.
3888
3889	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3890	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3891	  in the chip address.
3892
3893	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3894	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3895
3896	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3897	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3898	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3899
3900	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3901	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3902	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3903	  EEPROM. For example:
3904
3905	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
3906
3907	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3908	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3909
3910- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3911
3912	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3913	want to use for the environment.
3914
3915	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3916	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3917	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3918
3919	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3920	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3921	  at the specified address.
3922
3923- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3924
3925	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3926	want to use for the local device's environment.
3927
3928	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3929	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3930
3931	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3932	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
3933	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
3934	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3935
3936BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3937"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3938environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3939but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3940
3941- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3942
3943	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3944	for the environment.
3945
3946	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3947	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3948
3949	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3950	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3951	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3952
3953	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3954
3955	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3956	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3957	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3958	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
3959	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3960
3961	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3962
3963	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3964	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3965	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3966	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3967	  the range to be avoided.
3968
3969	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3970
3971	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3972	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
3973	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3974	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3975	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3976
3977- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3978
3979	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3980	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3981	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3982
3983- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3984
3985	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3986	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3987	accesses, which is important on NAND.
3988
3989	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3990
3991	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3992
3993	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3994
3995	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3996	  environment in.
3997
3998	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3999
4000	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4001	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4002	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4003
4004	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4005	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4006
4007	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4008	  when storing the env in UBI.
4009
4010- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4011
4012	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4013	environment.
4014
4015	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4016
4017	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4018
4019	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4020
4021	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4022	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4023	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4024
4025	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4026	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4027
4028	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4029	  area within the specified MMC device.
4030
4031	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4032	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4033	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4034	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4035	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4036	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4037	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4038
4039	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4040	  MMC sector boundary.
4041
4042	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4043
4044	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4045	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4046	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4047	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4048
4049	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4050	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4051
4052	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4053	  an MMC sector boundary.
4054
4055	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4056
4057	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4058	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4059	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4060
4061- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4062
4063	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4064	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4065	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4066	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4067	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4068	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4069	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4070
4071Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4072has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4073created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4074until then to read environment variables.
4075
4076The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4077is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4078with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4079necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4080"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4081have any device yet where we could complain.]
4082
4083Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4084the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4085use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4086
4087- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4088		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4089
4090		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4091		      also needs to be defined.
4092
4093- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4094		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4095
4096- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4097		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4098		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4099		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4100		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4101		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4102
4103- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4104		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4105		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4106		to do this.
4107
4108- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4109		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4110		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4111		present.
4112
4113Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4114---------------------------------------------------
4115
4116- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4117		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4118
4119- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4120		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4121
4122		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4123		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4124		the IMMR register after a reset.
4125
4126- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4127		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4128		PowerPC SOCs.
4129
4130- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4131		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4132		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4133
4134		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4135		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4136
4137- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4138		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4139		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4140		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4141		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4142		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4143		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4144
4145		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4146			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4147
4148- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4149		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4150		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4151		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4152		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4153
4154- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4155		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4156		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4157		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4158
4159- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4160		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4161		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4162
4163- Floppy Disk Support:
4164		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4165
4166		the default drive number (default value 0)
4167
4168		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4169
4170		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4171		(default value 1)
4172
4173		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4174
4175		defines the offset of register from address. It
4176		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4177		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4178
4179		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4180		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4181		default value.
4182
4183		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4184		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4185		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4186		source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4187		initializations.
4188
4189- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4190		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4191		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4192		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4193		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4194		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4195		is requierd.
4196
4197- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4198		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4199		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4200
4201- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4202
4203		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4204		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4205		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4206		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4207		will become available only after programming the
4208		memory controller and running certain initialization
4209		sequences.
4210
4211		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4212		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4213		- MPC824X: data cache
4214		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4215
4216- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4217
4218		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4219		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4220		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4221		data is located at the end of the available space
4222		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4223		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4224		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4225		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4226
4227	Note:
4228		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4229		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4230		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4231		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4232		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4233

4268		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
4269
4270- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4271		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4272		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
4273
4274- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4275		enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4276		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1]
4277
4278- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:

4280		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4281
4282- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
4283		Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4284		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4285		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4286
4287- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4288		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4289		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4290		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
4291		cpm_8260.h.
4292
4293- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
4294  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

4302
4303- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4304		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4305		required.
4306
4307- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4308		Only scan through and get the devices on the busses.
4309		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4310		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4311		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4312		by coreboot or similar.
4313
4314- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4315		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4316

4338- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4339		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4340		a 16 bit bus.
4341		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.

4345
4346- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG

4356
4357- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM

4360		to something your driver can deal with.
4361
4362- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4363		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4364		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing

4366		header files or board specific files.
4367
4368- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4369		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4370
4371- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4372		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4373		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4374
4375- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4376		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4377
4378- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4379		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4380		to the given FEC; i. e.
4381			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4382		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4383
4384		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4385
4386- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4387		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4388		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4389
4390- CONFIG_RMII
4391		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4392		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4393		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4394
4395- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4396		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4397		The syntax is:
4398
4399		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4400
4401		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4402		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4403		area should have.
4404
4405- CONFIG_LOOPW
4406		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4407		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4408
4409- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4410		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4411		"md/mw" commands.
4412		Examples:
4413
4414		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4415		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4416
4417		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4418		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4419
4420		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4421		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4422
4423- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4424		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4425		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4426		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4427		relocate itself into RAM.
4428
4429		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4430		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4431		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4432		these initializations itself.
4433
4434- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4435		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4436		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4437		compiling a NAND SPL.
4438
4439- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4440		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4441		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4442		It is loaded by the SPL.
4443
4444- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4445		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4446		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4447		previous 4k of the .text section.
4448
4449- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4450		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4451		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4452		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4453		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4454		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4455		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4456		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4457
4458- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4459  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4460		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4461		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4462		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4463
4464- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4465		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4466		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4467
4468- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4469		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4470
4471		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4472
4473- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4474		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4475
4476Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4477-----------------------------------
4478
4479The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4480loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4481This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4482are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4483within that device.
4484
4485- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4486	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
4487	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4488	is also specified.
4489
4490- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4491	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4492	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4493	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4494	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4495
4496- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4497	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4498	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4499	virtual address in NOR flash.
4500
4501- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4502	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4503	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4504
4505- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4506	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4507	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4508
4509- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4510	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4511	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4512
4513- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4514	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4515	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4516	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4517	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4518	master's memory space.
4519
4520Building the Software:
4521======================
4522
4523Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4524and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4525all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4526(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4527recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4528which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4529
4530If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4531have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4532you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4533Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4534necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4535
4536	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4537	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
4538
4539Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4540      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4541      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4542      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
4543
4544       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4545
4546      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4547      be executed on computers running Windows.
4548
4549U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4550sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4551is done by typing:
4552
4553	make NAME_config
4554
4555where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4556rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4557
4558Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4559      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4560      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4561      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4562      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4563
4564      make TQM823L_config
4565	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4566
4567      make TQM823L_LCD_config
4568	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4569
4570      etc.
4571
4572
4573Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4574images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4575
4576- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4577- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4578- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4579
4580By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4581in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4582this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4583
45841. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4585
4586	make O=/tmp/build distclean
4587	make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
4588	make O=/tmp/build all
4589
45902. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4591
4592	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4593	make distclean
4594	make NAME_config
4595	make all
4596
4597Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
4598variable.
4599
4600
4601Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4602for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4603native "make".
4604
4605
4606If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4607to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4608steps:
4609
46101.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
4611    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
4612    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
46132.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4614    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4615    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
46163.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4617    your board
46183.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4619    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
46204.  Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
46215.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4622    to be installed on your target system.
46236.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4624    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4625
4626
4627Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4628==============================================================
4629
4630If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4631or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4632provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4633the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4634official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4635
4636But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4637cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4638the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4639just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
4640for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
4641select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
4642environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
4643you can type
4644
4645	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4646
4647or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
4648
4649	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
4650
4651When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
4652U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
4653setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
4654built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
4655<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
4656location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
4657variable. For example:
4658
4659	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4660	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
4661	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
4662
4663With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
4664log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
4665during the whole build process.

4722
4723TODO.
4724
4725For now: just type "help <command>".
4726
4727
4728Environment Variables:
4729======================
4730
4731U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4732can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4733
4734Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4735"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4736without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4737environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4738working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4739environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4740
4741Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4742
4743List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4744
4745  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4746
4747  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4748
4749  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4750
4751  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4752
4753  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
4754
4755  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4756		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4757		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4758		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4759		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4760		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4761		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4762		  bootm_mapsize.
4763
4764  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4765		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4766		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4767		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4768		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4769		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4770		  used otherwise.
4771
4772  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4773		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4774		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4775		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4776		  environment variable.
4777
4778  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4779		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4780		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4781
4782  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4783		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4784		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4785		  load any image using TFTP
4786
4787  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4788		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4789		  be automatically started (by internally calling
4790		  "bootm")
4791
4792		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4793		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4794		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4795		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4796		  data.
4797
4798  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4799		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4800		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4801		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4802		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4803		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4804		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4805		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4806		  access it during the boot procedure.
4807
4808		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4809		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
4810		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4811		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4812		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4813		  must be accessible by the kernel.
4814
4815  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4816		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4817		  defined.
4818
4819  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4820		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4821		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4822		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4823		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
4824
4825  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
4826		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4827		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4828		  is usually what you want since it allows for
4829		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4830		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4831		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4832		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4833		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4834		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4835		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4836
4837		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4838		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4839		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4840		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4841		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4842		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
4843
4844		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4845
4846		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4847		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4848		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4849		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4850		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4851		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
4852		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4853
4854  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4855
4856  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4857		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4858
4859  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4860
4861  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4862
4863  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4864
4865  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4866
4867  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4868
4869  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
4870
4871  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
4872		  For example you can do the following
4873
4874		  => setenv ethact FEC
4875		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4876		  => setenv ethact SCC
4877		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4878
4879  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4880		  available network interfaces.
4881		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4882
4883  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
4884		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
4885		  When set to "once" the network operation will
4886		  fail when all the available network interfaces
4887		  are tried once without success.
4888		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4889		  themselves.
4890
4891  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
4892
4893  silent_linux  - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
4894		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4895		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4896		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4897		  is silent.
4898
4899  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4900		  UDP source port.
4901
4902  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4903		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4904
4905  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4906		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
4907
4908  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4909		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4910		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4911		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4912		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4913		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4914		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
4915
4916  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4917		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4918		  VLAN tagged frames.
4919
4920The following image location variables contain the location of images
4921used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4922not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4923variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4924server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4925loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4926flash or offset in NAND flash.
4927
4928*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4929boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
4930boards use these variables for other purposes.
4931
4932Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
4933-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
4934u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
4935Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
4936device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
4937ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
4938
4939The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4940updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4941depending the information provided by your boot server:
4942
4943  bootfile	- see above
4944  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
4945  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4946  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4947  hostname	- Target hostname
4948  ipaddr	- see above
4949  netmask	- Subnet Mask
4950  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4951  serverip	- see above
4952
4953
4954There are two special Environment Variables:
4955
4956  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
4957		  as type string and/or serial number
4958  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
4959
4960These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4961the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4962once they have been set once.
4963
4964
4965Further special Environment Variables:
4966
4967  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4968		  with the "version" command. This variable is
4969		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4970
4971
4972Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4973only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4974
4975
4976Callback functions for environment variables:
4977---------------------------------------------
4978
4979For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4980when their values are changed.  This functionailty allows functions to
4981be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
4982deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4983effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4984
4985The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4986U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4987
4988These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
4989static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4990in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4991associations.  The list must be in the following format:
4992
4993	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4994	list = entry[,list]
4995
4996If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4997Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4998
4999Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5000with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5001override any association in the static list. You can define
5002CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5003".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5004
5005
5006Command Line Parsing:
5007=====================
5008
5009There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5010the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5011
5012Old, simple command line parser:
5013--------------------------------
5014
5015- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5016- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5017- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5018- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5019  for example:
5020	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5021- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5022	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5023
5024Hush shell:
5025-----------
5026
5027- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5028  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5029  until...do...done, ...
5030- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5031  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5032  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5033  command
5034
5035General rules:
5036--------------
5037
5038(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5039    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5040    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5041    executed anyway.
5042
5043(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5044    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5045    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5046    variables are not executed.
5047
5048Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5049=======================================
5050
5051Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5052such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5053"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5054
5055Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5056MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5057"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5058
5059If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5060in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5061ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5062variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5063
5064o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5065  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5066
5067o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5068  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5069  used.
5070
5071o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5072  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5073
5074o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5075  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5076  warning is printed.
5077
5078o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5079  is raised.
5080
5081If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5082will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5083may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5084The naming convention is as follows:
5085"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5086
5087Image Formats:
5088==============
5089
5090U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5091images in two formats:
5092
5093New uImage format (FIT)
5094-----------------------
5095
5096Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5097to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5098components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5099SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5100
5101
5102Old uImage format
5103-----------------
5104
5105Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5106preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5107details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5108
5109* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5110  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5111  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5112  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5113  INTEGRITY).
5114* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5115  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5116  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5117* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5118* Load Address
5119* Entry Point
5120* Image Name
5121* Image Timestamp
5122
5123The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5124and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5125CRC32 checksums.
5126
5127
5128Linux Support:
5129==============
5130
5131Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5132easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5133U-Boot.
5134
5135U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5136special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5137"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5138instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5139serves several purposes:
5140
5141- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5142  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5143  Flash memory footprint)
5144
5145- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5146  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5147
5148- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5149  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5150  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5151  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5152  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5153  software is easier now.
5154
5155
5156Linux HOWTO:
5157============
5158
5159Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5160---------------------------------------
5161
5162U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5163configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5164(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5165Linux :-).
5166
5167But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5168
5169Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5170include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5171Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5172and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5173as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5174
5175
5176Configuring the Linux kernel:
5177-----------------------------
5178
5179No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5180device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5181
5182
5183Building a Linux Image:
5184-----------------------
5185
5186With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5187not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5188"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5189U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5190which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5191100% compatible format.
5192
5193Example:
5194
5195	make TQM850L_config
5196	make oldconfig
5197	make dep
5198	make uImage
5199
5200The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5201encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5202CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5203
5204* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5205
5206* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5207
5208	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5209				 -R .note -R .comment \
5210				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5211
5212* compress the binary image:
5213
5214	gzip -9 linux.bin
5215
5216* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5217
5218	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5219		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5220		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5221
5222
5223The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5224with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5225combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5226byte header containing information about target architecture,
5227operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5228stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5229
5230"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5231print the header information, or to build new images.
5232
5233In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5234contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5235checksum verification:
5236
5237	tools/mkimage -l image
5238	  -l ==> list image header information
5239
5240The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5241from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5242
5243	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5244		      -n name -d data_file image
5245	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5246	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5247	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5248	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5249	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5250	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5251	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5252	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5253
5254Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5255address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5256kernel version:
5257
5258- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5259- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5260
5261So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5262
5263	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5264	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5265	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5266	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5267	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5268	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5269	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5270	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5271	Load Address: 0x00000000
5272	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5273
5274To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5275
5276	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5277	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5278	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5279	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5280	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5281	Load Address: 0x00000000
5282	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5283
5284NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5285speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5286needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5287need to be uncompressed:
5288
5289	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5290	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5291	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5292	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5293	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5294	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5295	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5296	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5297	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5298	Load Address: 0x00000000
5299	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5300
5301
5302Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5303when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5304
5305	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5306	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5307	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5308	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5309	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5310	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5311	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5312	Load Address: 0x00000000
5313	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5314
5315The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5316option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5317option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5318from the image:
5319
5320	tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file
5321	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \
5322	   indexed by 'position'
5323
5324
5325Installing a Linux Image:
5326-------------------------
5327
5328To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5329you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5330
5331	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5332
5333The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5334image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5335address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5336specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5337command.
5338
5339Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5340TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5341
5342	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5343
5344	.......... done
5345	Erased 8 sectors
5346
5347	=> loads 40100000
5348	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5349	~>examples/image.srec
5350	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5351	...
5352	15989 15990 15991 15992
5353	[file transfer complete]
5354	[connected]
5355	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5356
5357
5358You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5359this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5360corruption happened:
5361
5362	=> imi 40100000
5363
5364	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5365	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
5366	   Image Type:	 PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5367	   Data Size:	 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
5368	   Load Address: 00000000
5369	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
5370	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
5371
5372
5373Boot Linux:
5374-----------
5375
5376The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5377memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5378of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5379parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5380"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5381
5382
5383	=> printenv bootargs

5505More About U-Boot Image Types:
5506------------------------------
5507
5508U-Boot supports the following image types:
5509
5510   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5511	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5512	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5513	the Standalone Program.
5514   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5515	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5516	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5517	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5518	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5519   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5520	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5521	being started.
5522   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5523	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5524	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5525	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5526	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5527	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5528
5529	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5530	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5531	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5532	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5533	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5534	a multiple of 4 bytes).
5535
5536   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5537	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5538	flash memory.
5539
5540   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5541	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5542	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5543	as command interpreter.
5544
5545Booting the Linux zImage:
5546-------------------------
5547
5548On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5549using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5550as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5551
5552Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5553kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5554address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5555format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5556
5557
5558Standalone HOWTO:
5559=================
5560
5561One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5562run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5563U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5564
5565Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5566
5567"Hello World" Demo:
5568-------------------
5569
5570'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5571application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5572It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5573like that:
5574
5575	=> loads
5576	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5577	~>examples/hello_world.srec
5578	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5579	[file transfer complete]
5580	[connected]
5581	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5582
5583	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5584	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5585	Hello World
5586	argc = 7
5587	argv[0] = "40004"
5588	argv[1] = "Hello"
5589	argv[2] = "World!"
5590	argv[3] = "This"
5591	argv[4] = "is"
5592	argv[5] = "a"
5593	argv[6] = "test."
5594	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5595	Hit any key to exit ...
5596
5597	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5598
5599Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5600handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5601Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5602The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5603character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5604controlled by the following keys:
5605
5606	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5607	b - enable interrupts and start timer
5608	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5609	q - quit application
5610
5611	=> loads

5646Minicom warning:
5647================
5648
5649Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5650"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5651consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5652Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5653especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5654use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
5655http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5656for help with kermit.
5657
5658
5659Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5660configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5661
5662	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5663	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N
5664	Y  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r	 N    D	   Y	   N	  N

5667NetBSD Notes:
5668=============
5669
5670Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5671(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5672
5673Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5674NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5675need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5676Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5677attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5678missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5679
5680	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5681	# mkdir powerpc
5682	# ln -s powerpc machine
5683	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5684	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5685
5686Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5687and U-Boot include files.
5688
5689Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5690stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5691proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5692tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5693meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5694
5695
5696Implementation Internals:
5697=========================
5698
5699The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5700implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5701inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5702hardware.
5703
5704
5705Initial Stack, Global Data:
5706---------------------------
5707
5708The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5709starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5710system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5711This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5712is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5713at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5714options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5715models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5716MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5717locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5718
5719	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5720	U-Boot mailing list:
5721
5722	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5723	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5724	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5725	...
5726
5727	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5728	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5729	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5730	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5731	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5732	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5733	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5734	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5735
5736	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5737	is another option for the system designer to use as an
5738	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5739	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5740	board designers haven't used it for something that would
5741	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5742	used.
5743
5744	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5745	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5746	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5747	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5748	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5749	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5750	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5751	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5752	you get the config right.

5756
5757It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5758code for the initialization procedures:
5759
5760* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5761  to write it.
5762
5763* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
5764  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5765  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5766
5767* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5768  that.
5769
5770Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5771normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
5772turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5773simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5774functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5775functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5776the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5777place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5778reserve for this purpose.
5779
5780When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5781relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
5782GCC's implementation.
5783
5784For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5785	R1:	stack pointer
5786	R2:	reserved for system use
5787	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
5788	R5-R10: parameter passing
5789	R13:	small data area pointer
5790	R30:	GOT pointer
5791	R31:	frame pointer
5792
5793	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5794	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5795	going back and forth between asm and C)
5796
5797    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5798
5799    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5800    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5801    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5802    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5803    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5804    624 text + 127 data).
5805
5806On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
5807	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
5808
5809    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
5810
5811On ARM, the following registers are used:
5812
5813	R0:	function argument word/integer result
5814	R1-R3:	function argument word
5815	R9:	platform specific
5816	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5817	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
5818	R12:	temporary workspace
5819	R13:	stack pointer
5820	R14:	link register
5821	R15:	program counter
5822
5823    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5824
5825    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.

5827On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5828	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5829
5830    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5831
5832    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5833    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5834
5835On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5836
5837	R0-R1:	argument/return
5838	R2-R5:	argument
5839	R15:	temporary register for assembler
5840	R16:	trampoline register
5841	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
5842	R29:	global pointer (GP)
5843	R30:	link register (LP)
5844	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
5845	PC:	program counter (PC)
5846
5847    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5848
5849NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5850or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5851
5852Memory Management:
5853------------------
5854
5855U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5856MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5857
5858The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5859controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5860memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5861physical memory banks.
5862
5863U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5864TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5865booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5866to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5867memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5868configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5869Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5870
5871Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5872of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5873
5874So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5875this:
5876
5877	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
5878	      :
5879	0x0000 1FFF
5880	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
5881	      :
5882	      :
5883
5884	      :
5885	      :
5886	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5887	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5888	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
5889	      :
5890	0x00FD FFFF
5891	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5892	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5893	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5894	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
5895
5896
5897System Initialization:
5898----------------------
5899
5900In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5901(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5902configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
5903To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5904To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5905initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5906which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5907part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5908the caches and the SIU.
5909
5910Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5911preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5912(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5913on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5914programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5915simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5916banks.
5917
5918When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5919different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5920bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59210x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5922contiguous memory starting from 0.
5923
5924Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5925and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5926Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5927pages, and the final stack is set up.
5928
5929Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5930until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5931running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5932new address in RAM.

6009Coding Standards:
6010-----------------
6011
6012All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6013coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6014"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6015
6016Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6017MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6018reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6019sources.
6020
6021Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6022Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6023in your code.
6024
6025Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6026- remove any trailing white space
6027- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6028- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6029- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6030- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6031
6032Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6033with a request to reformat the changes.
6034
6035
6036Submitting Patches:
6037-------------------
6038
6039Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6040establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6041may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6042
6043Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6044
6045Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6046see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6047
6048When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6049it:
6050
6051* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6052  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6053  patch actually fixes something.
6054
6055* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6056  implementation.
6057
6058* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6059
6060* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6061
6062* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6063  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6064
6065* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6066  document these in the README file.
6067
6068* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6069  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6070  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6071  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6072  with some other mail clients.
6073
6074  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6075  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6076  GNU diff.
6077
6078  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6079  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6080  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6081  affected files).
6082
6083  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6084  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6085
6086* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6087  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6088
6089* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6090  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6091
6092
6093Notes:
6094
6095* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6096  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6097  for any of the boards.
6098
6099* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6100  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6101  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6102
6103* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6104  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6105  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6106  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6107  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6108  modification.
6109
6110* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6111  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6112  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6113  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
