8Summary:
9========
10
11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
38the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.
41
42Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the
43actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically
44from the Git log using:

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

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

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

531		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_IFC_BE
532		Defines the IFC controller register space as Big Endian
533
534		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_IFC_LE
535		Defines the IFC controller register space as Little Endian
536
537		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_PBI
538		It enables addition of RCW (Power on reset configuration) in built image.
539		Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details
540

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

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

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

1063		CONFIG_CMD_SHA1SUM	* print sha1 memory digest
1064					  (requires CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY)
1065		CONFIG_CMD_SOFTSWITCH	* Soft switch setting command for BF60x
1066		CONFIG_CMD_SOURCE	  "source" command Support

1077
1078		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1079		support you can write:
1080
1081		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1082		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1083
1084	Other Commands:
1085		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1086
1087	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1088		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1089		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1090		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1091		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1092		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1093		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1094		initial stack and some data.
1095
1096
1097		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1098
1099- Removal of commands
1100		If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1101		CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1102		will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1103		boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1104		instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1105		simple boot procedures.
1106
1107- Regular expression support:
1108		CONFIG_REGEX
1109		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1110		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1111		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1112		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1113
1114- Device tree:
1115		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1116		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1117		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1118		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1119		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1120		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1121
1122		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1123		be done using one of the two options below:
1124
1125		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1126		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1127		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1128		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1129		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1130		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1131
1132		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1133		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1134		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1135		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1136
1137			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1138
1139		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1140		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1141		still use the individual files if you need something more
1142		exotic.
1143
1144- Watchdog:
1145		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1146		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1147		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1148		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1149		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1150		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1151		available, then no further board specific code should
1152		be needed to use it.
1153
1154		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1155		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1156		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1157		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1158
1159		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1160		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1161
1162- U-Boot Version:
1163		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1164		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1165		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1166		version as printed by the "version" command.
1167		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1168		next reset.
1169
1170- Real-Time Clock:
1171
1172		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1173		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1174		following options:
1175
1176		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1177		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1178		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1179		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1180		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1181		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1182		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1183		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1184		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1185		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1186		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1187		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1188		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1189					  RV3029 RTC.
1190
1191		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1192		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1193
1194- GPIO Support:
1195		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1196
1197		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1198		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1199		pins supported by a particular chip.
1200
1201		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1202		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1203
1204- I/O tracing:
1205		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1206		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1207		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1208		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1209		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1210		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1211		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1212		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1213
1214		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1215		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1216		still continue to operate.
1217
1218			iotrace is enabled
1219			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1220			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1221			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
1222			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
1223			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
1224			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
1225
1226- Timestamp Support:
1227
1228		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1229		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1230		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1231		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1232
1233- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1234		Zero or more of the following:
1235		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1236		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1237				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1238		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1239		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1240				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1241				       disk/part_efi.c
1242		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1243
1244		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1245		CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1246		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1247
1248- IDE Reset method:
1249		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1250		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1251
1252		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1253		be performed by calling the function
1254			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1255		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1256
1257- ATAPI Support:
1258		CONFIG_ATAPI
1259
1260		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1261
1262- LBA48 Support
1263		CONFIG_LBA48
1264
1265		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1266		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1267		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1268		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1269
1270		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1271			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1272			Default is 32bit.
1273
1274- SCSI Support:
1275		At the moment only there is only support for the
1276		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1277		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1278
1279		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1280		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1281		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1282		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1283		devices.
1284		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)

1297
1298		CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1299		Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for

1369
1370			CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA
1371			Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1372			Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.

1375			useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1376			control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1377			correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1378

1464		storage devices.
1465		Note:
1466		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1467		(TEAC FD-05PUB).
1468		MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1469			CONFIG_USB_CLOCK
1470				for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1471			CONFIG_PSC3_USB
1472				for USB on PSC3

1487
1488- USB Device:
1489		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1490		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1491		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1492		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1493		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1494		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1495		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1496		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1497		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1498		a Linux host by
1499		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1500		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1501		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1502		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1503
1504			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1505			Define this to build a UDC device
1506
1507			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1508			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1509			talk to the UDC device
1510
1511			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1512			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1513			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1514			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1515			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1516			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1517			speed.
1518
1519			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1520			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1521			be set to usbtty.
1522
1523			mpc8xx:
1524				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH

1532		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1533		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1534		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1535		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1536		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1537		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1538
1539			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1540			Define this string as the name of your company for
1541			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1542
1543			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1544			Define this string as the name of your product
1545			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1546
1547			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1548			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1549			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1550			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1551			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1552
1553			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1554			Define this as the unique Product ID
1555			for your device
1556			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1557
1558- ULPI Layer Support:
1559		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1560		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1561		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1562		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1563		viewport is supported.
1564		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1565		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1566		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1567		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1568		the appropriate value in Hz.
1569
1570- MMC Support:
1571		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1572		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1573		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1574		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1575		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1576		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1577
1578		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1579		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1580
1581			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1582			Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1583
1584			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1585			Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1586
1587		CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC
1588		Enable the generic MMC driver
1589
1590		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1591		Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1592
1593		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1594		Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1595		key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1596
1597- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1598		CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1599		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1600
1601		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1602		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1603		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1604		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1605		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1606
1607		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1608		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1609
1610		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1611		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1612
1613		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1614		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1615		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1616		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1617		one that would help mostly the developer.
1618
1619		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1620		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1621		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1622		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1623		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1624
1625		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1626		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1627		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1628		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1629		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1630		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1631
1632		DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1633		Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1634		host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1635		a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1636
1637		DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1638		Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1639		entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1640		sending again an USB request to the device.
1641
1642- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1643		CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1644		This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1645
1646		CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1647		This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1648		fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1649		protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1650		used on Android devices.
1651		See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1652
1653		CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1654		This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1655		image format header.
1656
1657		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1658		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1659		downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1660		downloaded images.
1661
1662		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1663		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1664		downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1665		platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1666
1667		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1668		The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1669		the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1670		this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1671
1672		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1673		The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1674		regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1675		the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1676
1677		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1678		The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1679		image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1680		Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1681		to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1682		This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1683		"fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1684		Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1685
1686- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1687		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1688		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1689		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1690
1691		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1692		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1693		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1694
1695		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1696		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1697		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1698
1699		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1700		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1701		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1702		have not defined a custom partition
1703
1704- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1705		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1706
1707		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1708		file in FAT formatted partition.
1709
1710		This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1711		user to write files to FAT.
1712
1713CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1714		CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1715
1716		Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1717		filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1718		and cbfsload.
1719
1720- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1721		CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1722
1723		Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1724		a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1725
1726- Keyboard Support:
1727		See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1728
1729		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1730
1731		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1732		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1733		defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1734		and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1735		instead.
1736
1737- Video support:
1738		CONFIG_VIDEO
1739
1740		Define this to enable video support (for output to
1741		video).
1742
1743		CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1744
1745		Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1746
1747		CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1748		Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1749		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1750		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1751		assumed.
1752
1753		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1754		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1755		are possible:
1756		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1757		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1758
1759		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1760		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1761		      8 bits |	0x301*	0x303	 0x305	  0x161	    0x307
1762		     15 bits |	0x310	0x313	 0x316	  0x162	    0x319
1763		     16 bits |	0x311	0x314	 0x317	  0x163	    0x31A
1764		     24 bits |	0x312	0x315	 0x318	    ?	    0x31B
1765		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1766		(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1767
1768		- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1769		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1770
1771
1772		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1773		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1774		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1775		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1776
1777		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1778		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1779		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1780		support, and should also define these other macros:
1781
1782			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1783			CONFIG_VIDEO
1784			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1785			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1786			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1787			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1788			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1789			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1790
1791		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1792		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1793		boot.  See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1794		description of this variable.
1795
1796- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1797
1798		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1799		display); also select one of the supported displays
1800		by defining one of these:
1801
1802		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1803
1804			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1805
1806		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1807
1808			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1809
1810		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1811
1812			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1813			Active, color, single scan.
1814
1815		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1816
1817			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1818			Active, color, single scan.
1819
1820		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1821
1822			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1823			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1824
1825		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1826
1827			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1828			Active, color, single scan.
1829
1830		CONFIG_HLD1045
1831
1832			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1833			Active, color, single scan.
1834
1835		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1836
1837			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1838			or
1839			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1840			or
1841			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1842
1843			320x240. Black & white.
1844
1845		Normally display is black on white background; define
1846		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1847
1848		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1849
1850		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1851		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1852		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1853		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1854		a per-section basis.
1855
1856		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1857
1858		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1859		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1860		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1861		is slow.
1862
1863		CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1864
1865		Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1866		mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1867		we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1868		framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1869		printed out.
1870		Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1871		initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1872		"vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1873		The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1874		fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1875		0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1876		1 = 90 degree rotation
1877		2 = 180 degree rotation
1878		3 = 270 degree rotation
1879
1880		If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1881		initialized with 0degree rotation.
1882
1883		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1884
1885		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1886
1887		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1888
1889		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1890		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1891
1892- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1893
1894		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1895		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1896		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1897		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1898		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1899		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1900		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1901		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1902
1903		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1904
1905		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1906		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1907		(see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1908		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1909		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1910		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1911		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1912		there is no need to set this option.
1913
1914		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1915
1916		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1917		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1918		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1919		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1920		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1921		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1922
1923		Example:
1924		setenv splashpos m,m
1925			=> image at center of screen
1926
1927		setenv splashpos 30,20
1928			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1929
1930		setenv splashpos -10,m
1931			=> vertically centered image
1932			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1933
1934- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1935
1936		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1937		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1938		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1939
1940- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1941
1942		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1943		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1944		bmp command.
1945
1946- Do compressing for memory range:
1947		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1948
1949		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1950		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1951
1952- Compression support:
1953		CONFIG_GZIP
1954
1955		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1956
1957		CONFIG_BZIP2
1958
1959		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1960		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1961		compressed images are supported.
1962
1963		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1964		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1965		be at least 4MB.
1966
1967		CONFIG_LZMA
1968
1969		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1970		images is included.
1971
1972		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1973		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1974		formula:
1975
1976			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1977
1978		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1979		and Literal pos bits.
1980
1981		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1982		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1983		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1984		a very small buffer.
1985
1986		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1987		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
1988		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
1989
1990		CONFIG_LZO
1991
1992		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1993		is included.
1994
1995- MII/PHY support:
1996		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1997
1998		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1999
2000		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2001
2002		The clock frequency of the MII bus
2003
2004		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2005
2006		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
2007		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
2008
2009		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2010
2011		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2012		reset before any MII register access is possible.
2013		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2014		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2015
2016		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2017
2018		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2019		command issued before MII status register can be read
2020
2021- IP address:
2022		CONFIG_IPADDR
2023
2024		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
2025		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
2026		determined through e.g. bootp.
2027		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
2028
2029- Server IP address:
2030		CONFIG_SERVERIP
2031
2032		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
2033		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
2034		(Environment variable "serverip")
2035
2036		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2037
2038		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2039		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2040
2041- Gateway IP address:
2042		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2043
2044		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2045		default router where packets to other networks are
2046		sent to.
2047		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
2048
2049- Subnet mask:
2050		CONFIG_NETMASK
2051
2052		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2053		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2054		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2055		forwarded through a router.
2056		(Environment variable "netmask")
2057
2058- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2059		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2060
2061		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2062		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
2063		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
2064		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2065		multicast group.
2066
2067- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2068		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2069
2070		If you have many targets in a network that try to
2071		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2072		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2073		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2074		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2075		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2076		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2077		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2078		following delays are inserted then:
2079
2080		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
2081		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
2082		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
2083		4th and following
2084		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
2085
2086		CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2087
2088		BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2089		server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2090		U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2091		an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2092		aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2093		ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2094		respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2095		takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2096		time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2097		to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2098		retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2099		IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2100		cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2101		requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2102		from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2103
2104- DHCP Advanced Options:
2105		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2106		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2107
2108		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2109		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2110		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2111		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2112		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2113		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2114		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2115		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2116		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2117		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2118		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2119		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2120		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2121
2122		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2123		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2124
2125		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2126		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2127		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
2128		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2129		is not available.
2130
2131		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2132		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2133		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2134		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2135		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2136		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2137		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2138		is defined.
2139
2140		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2141		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2142		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2143		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2144		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2145		option 12 to the DHCP server.
2146
2147		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2148
2149		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2150		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2151		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2152		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2153		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2154		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2155		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2156		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2157		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2158		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2159		this delay.
2160
2161 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2162		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2163		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2164		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2165		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2166
2167		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2168
2169 - CDP Options:
2170		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2171
2172		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2173
2174		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2175
2176		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2177		of the device.
2178
2179		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2180
2181		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2182		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2183		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2184
2185		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2186
2187		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2188		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2189
2190		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2191
2192		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2193
2194		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2195
2196		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2197
2198		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2199
2200		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2201
2202		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2203
2204		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2205		device in .1 of milliwatts.
2206
2207		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2208
2209		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2210
2211- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2212
2213		Several configurations allow to display the current
2214		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2215		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2216		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2217		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2218		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2219		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2220		feature in U-Boot.
2221
2222		Additional options:
2223
2224		CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2225		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2226		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2227		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2228		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2229
2230		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2231		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2232		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2233		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2234		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2235		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2236
2237- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2238
2239		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2240		on those systems that support this (optional)
2241		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2242
2243- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2244
2245		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2246		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2247		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2248		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2249		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2250		interface.

2272		    bus.
2273		  - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define

2385
2386		additional defines:
2387
2388		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2389		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you
2390		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2391		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2392		omit this define.
2393
2394		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2395		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2396		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2397		omit this define.
2398
2399		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2400		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2401		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2402		define.
2403
2404		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2405		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2406		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2407		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2408		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2409
2410		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2411					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2412					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2413					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2414					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2415					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2416					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \

2418					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2419					}
2420
2421		which defines

2432		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2433
2434- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2435
2436		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2437		provides the following compelling advantages:
2438
2439		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2440		- approved multibus support
2441		- better i2c mux support
2442
2443		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2444
2445		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2446		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2447		for the selected CPU.
2448
2449		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2450		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2451		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2452		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2453		command line interface.
2454
2455		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2456
2457		There are several other quantities that must also be
2458		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2459
2460		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2461		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2462		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2463		the CPU's i2c node address).
2464
2465		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2466		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2467		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2468		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2469		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2470
2471		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2472
2473		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2474		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2475		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2476		commands until the slave device responds.
2477
2478		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2479
2480		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2481		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2482		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2483
2484		I2C_INIT
2485
2486		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2487		controller or configure ports.
2488
2489		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2490
2491		I2C_PORT
2492
2493		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2494		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2495		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2496
2497		I2C_ACTIVE
2498
2499		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2500		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2501		define can be null.
2502
2503		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2504
2505		I2C_TRISTATE
2506
2507		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2508		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2509		define can be null.
2510
2511		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2512
2513		I2C_READ
2514
2515		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2516		false if it is low.
2517
2518		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2519
2520		I2C_SDA(bit)
2521
2522		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2523		is false, it clears it (low).
2524
2525		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2526			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2527			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2528
2529		I2C_SCL(bit)
2530
2531		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2532		is false, it clears it (low).
2533
2534		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2535			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2536			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2537
2538		I2C_DELAY
2539
2540		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2541		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2542		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2543		like:
2544
2545		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2546
2547		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2548
2549		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2550		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2551		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2552		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2553
2554		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2555		the generic GPIO functions.
2556
2557		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2558
2559		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2560		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2561		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2562		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2563		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2564		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2565		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2566		is run early in the boot sequence.
2567
2568		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2569
2570		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2571		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2572		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2573		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2574		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2575		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2576		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2577		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2578
2579		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2580
2581		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2582		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2583		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2584
2585		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2586
2587		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2588		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2589		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2590		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2591
2592		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2593
2594		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2595		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2596		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2597		a 1D array of device addresses
2598
2599		e.g.
2600			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2601			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2602
2603		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2604
2605			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2606			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2607
2608		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2609
2610		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2611
2612		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2613		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2614
2615		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2616
2617		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2618		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2619
2620		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2621
2622		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2623		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2624
2625		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2626
2627		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2628		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2629		specified DTT device.
2630
2631		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2632
2633		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2634		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2635		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2636		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2637		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2638		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2639		the other.
2640
2641- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2642
2643		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2644		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2645		D/As on the SACSng board)
2646
2647		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2648
2649		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2650		only SH7757 is supported.
2651
2652		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2653
2654		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2655		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2656		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2657		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2658		defined, the board configuration must define several
2659		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2660		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2661
2662		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2663
2664		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2665		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2666		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2667		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2668		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2669
2670		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2671
2672		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2673		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2674
2675		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2676		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2677		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2678
2679- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2680
2681		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2682
2683		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2684
2685		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2686		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2687
2688		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2689
2690		Enables support for FPGA family.
2691		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2692
2693		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2694
2695		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2696
2697		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2698
2699		Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2700
2701		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2702
2703		Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2704
2705		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2706
2707		Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2708		(Xilinx only)
2709
2710		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2711
2712		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2713
2714		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2715
2716		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2717		status by the configuration function. This option
2718		will require a board or device specific function to
2719		be written.
2720
2721		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2722
2723		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2724		configuration driver.
2725
2726		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2727		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2728
2729		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2730
2731		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2732		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2733		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2734		indicated a CRC error).
2735
2736		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2737
2738		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2739		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2740		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2741		ms.
2742
2743		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2744
2745		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2746		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2747
2748		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2749
2750		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2751		200 ms.
2752
2753- Configuration Management:
2754		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2755
2756		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2757		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2758		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2759		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2760		make / buildman.
2761
2762		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2763
2764		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2765		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2766
2767- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2768
2769		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2770		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2771		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2772		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2773		protects these variables from casual modification by
2774		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2775		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2776		change this behaviour:
2777
2778		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2779		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2780		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2781		these parameters.
2782
2783		Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2784		default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2785		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2786		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2787		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2788		read-only.]
2789
2790		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2791		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2792		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2793		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2794
2795- Protected RAM:
2796		CONFIG_PRAM
2797
2798		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2799		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2800		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2801		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2802		this default value by defining an environment
2803		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2804		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2805		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2806		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2807		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2808		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2809		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2810
2811			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2812			saveenv
2813
2814		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2815		either, which results in a memory region that will
2816		not be affected by reboots.
2817
2818		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2819		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2820		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2821		following board configurations are known to be
2822		"pRAM-clean":
2823
2824			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2825			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2826			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2827
2828- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2829		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2830		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2831		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2832		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2833		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2834		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2835
2836- Error Recovery:
2837		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2838
2839		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2840		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2841		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2842		system where you want the system to reboot
2843		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2844		useful during development since you can try to debug
2845		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2846
2847		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2848
2849		This variable defines the number of retries for
2850		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2851		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2852		default value of 5 is used.
2853
2854		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2855
2856		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2857
2858		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2859
2860		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2861		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2862		try longer timeout such as
2863		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2864
2865- Command Interpreter:
2866		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2867
2868		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2869
2870		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2871
2872		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2873		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2874		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2875
2876	Note:
2877
2878		In the current implementation, the local variables
2879		space and global environment variables space are
2880		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2881		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2882		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2883		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2884		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2885
2886		Global environment variables are those you use
2887		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2888		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2889		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2890
2891		To store commands and special characters in a
2892		variable, please use double quotation marks
2893		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2894		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2895		symbols.
2896
2897- Command Line Editing and History:
2898		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2899
2900		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2901		command line input operations
2902
2903- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2904		CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2905
2906		Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2907		at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2908		The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2909		and PS2.
2910
2911- Default Environment:
2912		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2913
2914		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2915		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2916		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2917
2918		For example, place something like this in your
2919		board's config file:
2920
2921		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2922			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2923			"myvar2=value2\0"
2924
2925		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2926		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2927		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2928		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2929		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2930		You better know what you are doing here.
2931
2932		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2933		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2934		the environment like the "source" command or the
2935		boot command first.
2936
2937		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2938
2939		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2940		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2941		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2942
2943		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2944
2945		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2946		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2947		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2948		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2949		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2950
2951		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2952
2953		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2954		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2955		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2956
2957		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2958
2959		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2960		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2961		that so that the environment is not available until
2962		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2963		this is instead controlled by the value of
2964		/config/load-environment.
2965
2966- Parallel Flash support:
2967		CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2968
2969		Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
2970		flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2971		flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2972		parallel flash.
2973
2974		If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2975		(e.g.  CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2976		selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2977		flash API (see include/flash.h).
2978
2979- DataFlash Support:
2980		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2981
2982		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2983		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2984		commands cp, md...
2985
2986- Serial Flash support
2987		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2988
2989		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2990		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2991
2992		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2993		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2994		commands.
2995
2996		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2997		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2998		flash is present on the system.
2999
3000		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
3001		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
3002		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
3003		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
3004
3005		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3006
3007		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3008		test ('sf test').
3009
3010		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
3011
3012		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3013		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
3014		Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
3015
3016- SystemACE Support:
3017		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3018
3019		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3020		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
3021		of the chip must also be defined in the
3022		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3023
3024		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3025		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3026
3027		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3028		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3029
3030- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3031		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3032
3033		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3034		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3035		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3036		number generator is used.
3037
3038		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3039		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
3040		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3041
3042		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3043		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3044		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3045		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3046		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3047		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3048		but sometimes that is not allowed.
3049
3050- Hashing support:
3051		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3052
3053		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3054		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3055
3056		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3057
3058		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3059		size a little.
3060
3061		CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3062		algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3063		CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3064		SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3065		CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3066		for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3067		This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3068		hash_lookup_algo() function.
3069		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3070		hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3071		Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3072		is performed in hardware.
3073
3074		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3075		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3076
3077- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3078		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3079		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3080		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3081
3082		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3083		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3084		a boot from specific media.
3085
3086		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3087		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3088		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3089		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
3090		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3091
3092- bootcount support:
3093		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3094
3095		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3096		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3097
3098		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3099		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3100		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3101		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3102		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3103		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3104		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3105		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3106		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3107		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3108			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3109			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3110						    the bootcounter.
3111			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3112
3113- Show boot progress:
3114		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3115
3116		Defining this option allows to add some board-
3117		specific code (calling a user-provided function
3118		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3119		the system's boot progress on some display (for
3120		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3121		the following checkpoints are implemented:
3122

3276
3277- legacy image format:
3278		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3279		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3280
3281		Default:
3282		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3283
3284		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3285		disable the legacy image format
3286
3287		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3288		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3289
3290- FIT image support:
3291		CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3292		Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3293		For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3294		with this option.
3295
3296		TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3297		and move it to Kconfig
3298
3299- Standalone program support:
3300		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3301
3302		This option defines a board specific value for the
3303		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3304		overwriting the architecture dependent default
3305		settings.
3306
3307- Frame Buffer Address:
3308		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3309
3310		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3311		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3312		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3313		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3314		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3315		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3316		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3317		configured panel size.
3318
3319		Please see board_init_f function.
3320
3321- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3322		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3323		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3324		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3325
3326		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3327		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3328
3329- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3330		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3331
3332		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3333		Needed for mtdparts command support.
3334
3335		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3336
3337		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3338		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3339
3340- UBI support
3341		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3342
3343		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3344		with the UBI flash translation layer
3345
3346		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3347
3348		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3349
3350		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3351		warnings and errors enabled.
3352
3353
3354		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3355		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3356		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3357		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3358		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3359		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3360
3361		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3362		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3363		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3364		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3365		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3366
3367		default: 4096
3368
3369		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3370		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3371		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3372		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3373		flash), this value is ignored.
3374
3375		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3376		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3377		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3378		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3379		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3380		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3381
3382		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3383		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3384		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3385		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3386		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3387		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3388		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3389		partition.
3390
3391		default: 20
3392
3393		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3394		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3395		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3396		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3397		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3398		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3399		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3400		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3401		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3402		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3403		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3404		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3405
3406		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3407		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3408		without a fastmap.
3409		default: 0
3410
3411		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3412		Enable UBI fastmap debug
3413		default: 0
3414
3415- UBIFS support
3416		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3417
3418		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3419		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3420
3421		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3422
3423		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3424
3425		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3426		warnings and errors enabled.
3427
3428- SPL framework
3429		CONFIG_SPL
3430		Enable building of SPL globally.
3431
3432		CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3433		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3434
3435		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3436		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3437		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3438		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3439		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3440		must not be both defined at the same time.
3441
3442		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3443		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3444		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3445		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3446		not exceed it.
3447
3448		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3449		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3450
3451		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3452		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3453		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3454
3455		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3456		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3457
3458		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3459		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3460		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3461		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3462		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3463		must not be both defined at the same time.
3464
3465		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3466		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3467
3468		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3469		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3470		loaded does not have a signature.
3471		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3472		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3473		will be caught.
3474		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3475		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3476		and thus should be skipped silently.
3477
3478		CONFIG_SPL_ABORT_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3479		When defined, SPL will proceed to another boot method
3480		if the image it has loaded does not have a signature.
3481
3482		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3483		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3484		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3485		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3486
3487		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3488		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3489		When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3490		it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3491		can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3492
3493		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3494		The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3495
3496		CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3497		Enable the SPL framework under common/.  This framework
3498		supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3499		NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3500
3501		CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3502		Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3503		See also: doc/README.falcon
3504
3505		CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3506		For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3507		about the running system.
3508
3509		CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL

3529		Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from
3530		when the MMC is being used in raw mode.
3531
3532		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3533		Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being

3537		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3538		used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3539

3562
3563		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3564		Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3565		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3566
3567		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3568		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3569		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3570		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3571		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3572
3573		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3574		Avoid SPL relocation
3575
3576		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3577		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires

3589
3590		CONFIG_SPL_UBI
3591		Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3592		loader

3596		environment on NAND support within SPL.
3597
3598		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3599		Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3600		if you need to save space.
3601
3602		CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT
3603		Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for
3604		drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary.
3605
3606		CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3607		Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3608		SPL binary.
3609
3610		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3611		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3612		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,

3626
3627		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3628		Size of image to load
3629
3630		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3631		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3632
3633		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3634		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3635		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3636
3637		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3638		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the

3643
3644		CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT
3645		Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary
3646
3647		CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT
3648		Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary
3649
3650		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3651		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3652
3653		CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT
3654		Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary
3655
3656		CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
3657		Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3658
3659		CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3660		Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3661		It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3662		CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3663
3664		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3665		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3666		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3667		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3668		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3669		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3670
3671		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3672		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3673		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3674		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3675
3676		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3677		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3678		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3679		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3680		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3681
3682- TPL framework
3683		CONFIG_TPL
3684		Enable building of TPL globally.
3685
3686		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3687		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3688		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3689		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3690		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3691		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3692
3693- Interrupt support (PPC):
3694
3695		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3696		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3697		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3698		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3699		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3700		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3701		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3702		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3703		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3704		general timer_interrupt().
3705
3706
3707Board initialization settings:
3708------------------------------
3709
3710During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3711to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3712before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3713following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3714architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3715typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3716
3717- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3718- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3719- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3720- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3721
3722Configuration Settings:
3723-----------------------
3724
3725- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3726		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3727
3728- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3729		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3730
3731- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3732		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3733
3734- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3735		prompt for user input.
3736
3737- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3738
3739- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3740
3741- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3742
3743- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3744		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3745		booted
3746
3747- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3748		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3749
3750- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3751		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3752
3753- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3754		If the board specific function
3755			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3756		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3757		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3758
3759- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3760		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3761
3762- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3763		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3764
3765- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3766		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3767		simple memory test.
3768
3769- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3770		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3771
3772- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3773		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3774		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3775
3776- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3777		Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3778		If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3779		is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3780		This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3781		gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3782		the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3783		this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3784
3785- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3786		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3787		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3788		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3789		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3790		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3791		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3792		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3793		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3794		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3795
3796		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3797		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3798		be touched.
3799
3800		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3801		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3802		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3803		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3804		problems.
3805
3806- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3807		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3808
3809- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3810		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3811
3812- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3813		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3814		Cogent motherboard)
3815
3816- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3817		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3818
3819- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3820		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3821		make config files to be same as the text base address
3822		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3823		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3824
3825- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3826		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3827		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3828		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3829		flash sector.
3830
3831- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3832		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3833
3834- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3835		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3836		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3837		will become available before relocation. The address is just
3838		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3839		space.
3840
3841		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3842		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3843		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3844		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3845		U-Boot relocates itself.
3846
3847- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3848		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3849		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3850		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3851
3852- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3853		Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3854		typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3855		uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3856		otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3857		some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3858		cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3859		are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3860		cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3861		if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3862		size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3863		one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3864		written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3865		happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3866		buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3867		16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3868
3869		Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3870
3871- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3872		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3873		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3874		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3875		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3876
3877- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3878		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3879		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3880		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3881		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3882		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3883		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3884		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3885		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3886		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3887		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3888
3889- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3890		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3891		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3892		is enabled.
3893
3894- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3895		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3896		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3897
3898- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3899		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3900		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3901
3902- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3903		Max number of Flash memory banks
3904
3905- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3906		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3907
3908- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3909		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3910
3911- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3912		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3913
3914- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3915		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3916
3917- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3918		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3919
3920- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3921		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3922		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3923
3924- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3925
3926		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3927		without this option such a download has to be
3928		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3929		copy from RAM to flash.
3930
3931		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3932		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3933		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3934		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3935		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3936
3937- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3938		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3939		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3940
3941- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3942		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3943		in the drivers directory
3944
3945- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3946		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3947		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3948		to the MTD layer.
3949
3950- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3951		Use buffered writes to flash.
3952
3953- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3954		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3955		write commands.
3956
3957- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3958		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3959		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3960		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3961		optionally available.
3962
3963- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3964		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3965		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3966		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3967
3968- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3969		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3970		against the source after the write operation. An error message
3971		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3972		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3973		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3974		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3975		this option if you really know what you are doing.
3976
3977- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3978		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3979		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3980		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3981		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3982		on high Ethernet traffic.
3983		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3984
3985- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3986
3987	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3988	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3989	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3990	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3991	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3992
3993- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3994- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3995	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3996	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3997	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3998	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3999
4000	The format of the list is:
4001		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
4002		access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
4003		attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
4004		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4005		list = entry[,list]
4006
4007	The type attributes are:
4008		s - String (default)
4009		d - Decimal
4010		x - Hexadecimal
4011		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4012		i - IP address
4013		m - MAC address
4014
4015	The access attributes are:
4016		a - Any (default)
4017		r - Read-only
4018		o - Write-once
4019		c - Change-default
4020
4021	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4022		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4023		environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4024
4025	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4026		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4027		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4028		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
4029		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4030		".flags" variable.
4031
4032	If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4033	regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
4034	flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
4035
4036- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4037	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4038	access flags.
4039
4040- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4041	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4042	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4043	the value can be calculated on a given board.
4044
4045- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4046	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4047	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4048	building U-Boot to enable this.
4049
4050The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4051of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4052following configurations:
4053
4054- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4055
4056	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4057	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4058
4059- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4060
4061	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4062
4063	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4064	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4065	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4066	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4067	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4068	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4069	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4070	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4071	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4072	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4073	   between U-Boot and the environment.
4074
4075	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4076
4077	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4078	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4079	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4080	   for this sector is given here.
4081
4082	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4083
4084	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4085
4086	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
4087	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4088	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
4089
4090	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4091
4092	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
4093
4094
4095	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4096	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4097	   the environment.
4098
4099	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4100
4101	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4102	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4103	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4104	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4105
4106	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4107	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4108	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4109	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4110	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4111	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
4112	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4113	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4114	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
4115
4116	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4117	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4118
4119	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4120	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4121	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4122	   a "saveenv" operation.
4123
4124BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4125source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4126accordingly!
4127
4128
4129- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4130
4131	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4132	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4133	environment.
4134
4135	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4136	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4137
4138	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4139	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4140	  can just be read and written to, without any special
4141	  provision.
4142
4143BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4144in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4145console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4146U-Boot will hang.
4147
4148Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4149environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4150keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4151to save the current settings.
4152
4153
4154- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4155
4156	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4157	device and a driver for it.
4158
4159	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4160	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4161
4162	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4163	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4164
4165	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4166	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4167	  The default address is zero.
4168
4169	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4170	  If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4171
4172	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4173	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4174	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
4175	  would require six bits.
4176
4177	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4178	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4179	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
4180
4181	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4182	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
4183	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
4184
4185	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4186	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4187	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4188	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4189	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4190	  byte chips.
4191
4192	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4193	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4194	  in the chip address.
4195
4196	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4197	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4198
4199	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4200	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4201	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4202
4203	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4204	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4205	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4206	  EEPROM. For example:
4207
4208	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
4209
4210	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4211	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4212
4213- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4214
4215	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4216	want to use for the environment.
4217
4218	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4219	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4220	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4221
4222	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4223	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4224	  at the specified address.
4225
4226- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4227
4228	Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4229	want to use for the environment.
4230
4231	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4232	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4233
4234	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4235	  environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4236	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4237
4238	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4239
4240	  Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4241
4242	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4243
4244	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4245	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4246	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4247	  during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4248	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4249
4250	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4251	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4252
4253	  Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4254
4255	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4256
4257	  Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4258
4259	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4260
4261	  Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4262
4263- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4264
4265	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4266	want to use for the local device's environment.
4267
4268	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4269	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4270
4271	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4272	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
4273	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
4274	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4275
4276BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4277"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4278environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4279but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4280
4281- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4282
4283	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4284	for the environment.
4285
4286	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4287	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4288
4289	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4290	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4291	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4292
4293	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4294
4295	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4296	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4297	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4298	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4299	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4300
4301	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4302
4303	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4304	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4305	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4306	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4307	  the range to be avoided.
4308
4309	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4310
4311	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4312	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
4313	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4314	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4315	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4316
4317- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4318
4319	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4320	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4321	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4322
4323- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4324
4325	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4326	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4327	accesses, which is important on NAND.
4328
4329	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4330
4331	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4332
4333	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4334
4335	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4336	  environment in.
4337
4338	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4339
4340	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4341	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4342	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4343
4344	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4345	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4346
4347	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4348	  when storing the env in UBI.
4349
4350- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4351       Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4352
4353       - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4354
4355         Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4356
4357       - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4358
4359         Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4360         be as following:
4361
4362           "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4363               - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4364                        partition table.
4365               - "D:0": device D.
4366               - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4367                              table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4368                              table.
4369               - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4370                           If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4371                           partition table then means device D.
4372
4373       - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4374
4375         It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4376         environment.
4377
4378       - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4379         This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4380
4381- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4382
4383	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4384	environment.
4385
4386	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4387
4388	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4389
4390	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4391
4392	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4393	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4394	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4395
4396	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4397	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4398
4399	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4400	  area within the specified MMC device.
4401
4402	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4403	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4404	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4405	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4406	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4407	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4408	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4409
4410	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4411	  MMC sector boundary.
4412
4413	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4414
4415	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4416	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4417	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4418	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4419
4420	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4421	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4422
4423	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4424	  an MMC sector boundary.
4425
4426	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4427
4428	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4429	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4430	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4431
4432- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4433
4434	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4435	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4436	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4437	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4438	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4439	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4440	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4441
4442Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4443has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4444created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4445until then to read environment variables.
4446
4447The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4448is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4449with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4450necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4451"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4452have any device yet where we could complain.]
4453
4454Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4455the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4456use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4457
4458- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4459		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4460
4461		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4462		      also needs to be defined.
4463
4464- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4465		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4466
4467- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4468		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4469		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4470		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4471		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4472		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4473
4474- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4475		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4476		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4477		to do this.
4478
4479- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4480		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4481		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4482		present.
4483
4484- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4485		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4486		build system checks that the actual size does not
4487		exceed it.
4488
4489Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4490---------------------------------------------------
4491
4492- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4493		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4494
4495- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4496		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4497
4498		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4499		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4500		the IMMR register after a reset.
4501
4502- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4503		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4504		PowerPC SOCs.
4505
4506- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4507		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4508		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4509
4510		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4511		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4512
4513- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4514		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4515		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4516		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4517		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4518		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4519		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4520
4521		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4522			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4523
4524- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4525		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4526		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4527		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4528		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4529
4530- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4531		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4532		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4533		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4534
4535- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4536		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4537		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4538
4539- Floppy Disk Support:
4540		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4541
4542		the default drive number (default value 0)
4543
4544		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4545
4546		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4547		(default value 1)
4548
4549		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4550
4551		defines the offset of register from address. It
4552		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4553		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4554
4555		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4556		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4557		default value.
4558
4559		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4560		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4561		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4562		source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4563		initializations.
4564
4565- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4566		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4567		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4568		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4569		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4570		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4571		is required.
4572
4573- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4574		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4575		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4576
4577- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4578
4579		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4580		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4581		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4582		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4583		will become available only after programming the
4584		memory controller and running certain initialization
4585		sequences.
4586
4587		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4588		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4589		- MPC824X: data cache
4590		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4591
4592- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4593
4594		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4595		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4596		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4597		data is located at the end of the available space
4598		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4599		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4600		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4601		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4602
4603	Note:
4604		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4605		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4606		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4607		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4608		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4609

4642  CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL:
4643		Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer
4644		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
4645

4656		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4657
4658- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
4659		Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4660		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4661		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4662
4663- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4664		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4665		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4666		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
4667		cpm_8260.h.
4668
4669- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
4670  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

4676  CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
4677		Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4678
4679- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4680		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4681		required.
4682
4683- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4684		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4685		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4686		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4687		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4688		by coreboot or similar.
4689
4690- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4691		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4692
4693- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
4694		Chip has SRIO or not
4695
4696- CONFIG_SRIO1:
4697		Board has SRIO 1 port available
4698

4700		Board has SRIO 2 port available
4701
4702- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
4703		Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
4704

4711- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4712		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4713
4714- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4715		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4716		a 16 bit bus.
4717		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4718		Example of drivers that use it:
4719		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4720		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4721
4722- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4723		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4724		a default value will be used.
4725
4726- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4727		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4728		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4729
4730  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4731		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4732
4733- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4734		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4735		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4736		to something your driver can deal with.
4737
4738- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4739		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4740		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4741		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4742		header files or board specific files.
4743
4744- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4745		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4746
4747- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4748		Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4749
4750- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4751		Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4752
4753- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4754		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4755		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4756
4757- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4758		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4759
4760- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4761		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4762		to the given FEC; i. e.
4763			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4764		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4765
4766		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4767
4768- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4769		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4770		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4771
4772- CONFIG_RMII
4773		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4774		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4775		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4776
4777- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4778		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4779		The syntax is:
4780
4781		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4782
4783		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4784		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4785		area should have.
4786
4787- CONFIG_LOOPW
4788		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4789		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4790
4791- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4792		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4793		"md/mw" commands.
4794		Examples:
4795
4796		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4797		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4798
4799		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4800		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4801
4802		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4803		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4804
4805- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4806		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4807		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4808		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4809		relocate itself into RAM.
4810
4811		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4812		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4813		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4814		these initializations itself.
4815
4816- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4817		[ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4818		to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4819		instruction cache) is still performed.
4820
4821- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4822		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4823		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4824		compiling a NAND SPL.
4825
4826- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4827		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4828		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4829		It is loaded by the SPL.
4830
4831- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4832		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4833		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4834		previous 4k of the .text section.
4835
4836- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4837		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4838		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4839		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4840		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4841		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4842		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4843		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4844
4845- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4846  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4847		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4848		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4849		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4850
4851- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4852		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4853		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4854
4855- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4856		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4857
4858		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4859
4860- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4861		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4862
4863- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4864		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4865		driver that uses this:
4866		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4867
4868Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4869-----------------------------------
4870
4871The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4872loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4873This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4874are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4875within that device.
4876
4877- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4878	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
4879	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4880	is also specified.
4881
4882- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4883	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
4884	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4885	is also specified.
4886
4887- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4888	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4889	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4890	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4891	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4892
4893- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4894	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4895	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4896	virtual address in NOR flash.
4897
4898- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4899	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4900	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4901
4902- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4903	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4904	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4905
4906- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4907	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4908	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4909
4910- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4911	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4912	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4913	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4914	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4915	master's memory space.
4916
4917Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4918---------------------------------------------------------
4919The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4920"firmware".
4921This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4922are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4923within that device.
4924
4925- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4926	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4927
4928- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4929	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
4930	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4931	is also specified.
4932
4933- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4934	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4935	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4936	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4937	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4938
4939- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4940	Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4941	normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4942	virtual address in NOR flash.
4943
4944Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4945-------------------------------------------
4946The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4947"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4948This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4949
4950- CONFIG_FSL_DEBUG_SERVER
4951	Enable the Debug Server for Layerscape SoCs.
4952
4953- CONFIG_SYS_DEBUG_SERVER_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE
4954	Define minimum DDR size required for debug server image
4955
4956- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4957	Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4958
4959Reproducible builds
4960-------------------
4961
4962In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4963process have to be set to a fixed value.
4964
4965This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4966SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4967option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4968
4969SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4970
4971Building the Software:
4972======================
4973
4974Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4975and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4976all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4977(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4978recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4979which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4980
4981If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4982have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4983you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4984Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4985necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4986
4987	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4988	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
4989
4990Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4991      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4992      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4993      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
4994
4995       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4996
4997      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4998      be executed on computers running Windows.
4999
5000U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5001sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
5002is done by typing:
5003
5004	make NAME_defconfig
5005
5006where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5007rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5008
5009Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5010      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5011      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5012      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5013      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5014
5015      make TQM823L_defconfig
5016	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5017
5018      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5019	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5020
5021      etc.
5022
5023
5024Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5025images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5026
5027- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5028- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5029- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5030
5031By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5032in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5033this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5034
50351. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5036
5037	make O=/tmp/build distclean
5038	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5039	make O=/tmp/build all
5040
50412. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5042
5043	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5044	make distclean
5045	make NAME_defconfig
5046	make all
5047
5048Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5049variable.
5050
5051
5052Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5053for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5054native "make".
5055
5056
5057If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5058to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5059steps:
5060
50611.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5062    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5063    the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
50642.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5065    your board.
50663.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5067    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
50684.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
50695.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5070    to be installed on your target system.
50716.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5072    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5073
5074
5075Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5076==============================================================
5077
5078If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5079or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5080provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5081the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5082official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5083
5084But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5085cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5086the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5087just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
5088configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
5089will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
5090for documentation.

5148TODO.
5149
5150For now: just type "help <command>".
5151
5152
5153Environment Variables:
5154======================
5155
5156U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5157can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5158
5159Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5160"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5161without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5162environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5163working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5164environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5165
5166Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5167
5168List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5169
5170  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5171
5172  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5173
5174  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5175
5176  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5177
5178  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
5179
5180  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5181		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5182		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5183		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5184		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5185		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5186		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5187		  bootm_mapsize.
5188
5189  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5190		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5191		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5192		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5193		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5194		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5195		  used otherwise.
5196
5197  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5198		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5199		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5200		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5201		  environment variable.
5202
5203  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5204		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5205		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5206
5207  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5208		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5209		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5210		  load any image using TFTP
5211
5212  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5213		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5214		  be automatically started (by internally calling
5215		  "bootm")
5216
5217		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5218		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5219		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5220		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5221		  data.
5222
5223  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5224		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5225		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5226		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5227		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5228		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5229		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5230		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5231		  access it during the boot procedure.
5232
5233		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5234		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
5235		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5236		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5237		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5238		  must be accessible by the kernel.
5239
5240  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5241		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5242		  defined.
5243
5244  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5245		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5246		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5247		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5248		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
5249
5250  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
5251		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5252		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5253		  is usually what you want since it allows for
5254		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5255		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5256		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5257		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5258		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5259		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5260		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5261
5262		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5263		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5264		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5265		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5266		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5267		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
5268
5269		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5270
5271		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5272		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5273		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5274		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5275		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5276		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
5277		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5278
5279  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5280
5281  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5282		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5283
5284  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5285
5286  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5287
5288  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5289
5290  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5291
5292  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5293
5294  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
5295
5296  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
5297		  For example you can do the following
5298
5299		  => setenv ethact FEC
5300		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5301		  => setenv ethact SCC
5302		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5303
5304  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5305		  available network interfaces.
5306		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5307
5308  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
5309		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
5310		  When set to "once" the network operation will
5311		  fail when all the available network interfaces
5312		  are tried once without success.
5313		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5314		  themselves.
5315
5316  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
5317
5318  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5319		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5320		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5321		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5322		  is silent.
5323
5324  tftpsrcp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5325		  UDP source port.
5326
5327  tftpdstp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5328		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5329
5330  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5331		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
5332
5333  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5334		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5335		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5336		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5337		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5338		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5339		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
5340
5341  tftptimeoutcountmax	- maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5342		  unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5343		  can happen during a single file transfer before that
5344		  transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5345		  'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5346		  downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5347		  unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5348
5349  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5350		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5351		  VLAN tagged frames.
5352
5353  bootpretryperiod	- Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
5354		  Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5355		  be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5356		  CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5357		  precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
5358
5359The following image location variables contain the location of images
5360used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5361not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5362variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5363server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5364loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5365flash or offset in NAND flash.
5366
5367*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5368boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5369boards use these variables for other purposes.
5370
5371Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location

5377
5378The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5379updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5380depending the information provided by your boot server:
5381
5382  bootfile	- see above
5383  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
5384  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5385  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5386  hostname	- Target hostname
5387  ipaddr	- see above
5388  netmask	- Subnet Mask
5389  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5390  serverip	- see above
5391
5392
5393There are two special Environment Variables:
5394
5395  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
5396		  as type string and/or serial number
5397  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
5398
5399These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5400the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5401once they have been set once.
5402
5403
5404Further special Environment Variables:
5405
5406  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5407		  with the "version" command. This variable is
5408		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5409
5410
5411Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5412only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5413
5414
5415Callback functions for environment variables:
5416---------------------------------------------
5417
5418For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5419when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
5420be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
5421deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5422effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5423
5424The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5425U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5426
5427These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
5428static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5429in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5430associations.  The list must be in the following format:
5431
5432	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5433	list = entry[,list]
5434
5435If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5436Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5437
5438Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5439with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5440override any association in the static list. You can define
5441CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5442".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5443
5444If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5445regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5446the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5447
5448
5449Command Line Parsing:
5450=====================
5451
5452There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5453the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5454
5455Old, simple command line parser:
5456--------------------------------
5457
5458- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5459- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5460- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5461- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5462  for example:
5463	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5464- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5465	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5466
5467Hush shell:
5468-----------
5469
5470- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5471  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5472  until...do...done, ...
5473- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5474  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5475  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5476  command
5477
5478General rules:
5479--------------
5480
5481(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5482    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5483    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5484    executed anyway.
5485
5486(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5487    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5488    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5489    variables are not executed.
5490
5491Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5492=======================================
5493
5494Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5495such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5496"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5497
5498Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5499MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5500"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5501
5502If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5503in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5504ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5505variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5506
5507o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5508  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5509
5510o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5511  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5512  used.
5513
5514o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5515  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5516
5517o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5518  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5519  warning is printed.
5520
5521o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5522  is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5523  a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5524
5525If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5526will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5527may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5528The naming convention is as follows:
5529"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5530
5531Image Formats:
5532==============
5533
5534U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5535images in two formats:
5536
5537New uImage format (FIT)
5538-----------------------
5539
5540Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5541to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5542components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5543SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5544
5545
5546Old uImage format
5547-----------------
5548
5549Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5550preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5551details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5552
5553* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5554  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5555  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5556  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5557  INTEGRITY).
5558* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5559  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5560  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5561* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5562* Load Address
5563* Entry Point
5564* Image Name
5565* Image Timestamp
5566
5567The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5568and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5569CRC32 checksums.
5570
5571
5572Linux Support:
5573==============
5574
5575Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5576easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5577U-Boot.
5578
5579U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5580special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5581"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5582instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5583serves several purposes:
5584
5585- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5586  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5587  Flash memory footprint)
5588
5589- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5590  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5591
5592- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5593  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5594  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5595  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5596  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5597  software is easier now.
5598
5599
5600Linux HOWTO:
5601============
5602
5603Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5604---------------------------------------
5605
5606U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5607configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5608(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5609Linux :-).
5610
5611But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5612
5613Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5614include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5615Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5616and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5617as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5618
5619Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5620If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5621is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5622doc/driver-model.
5623
5624
5625Configuring the Linux kernel:
5626-----------------------------
5627
5628No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5629device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5630
5631
5632Building a Linux Image:
5633-----------------------
5634
5635With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5636not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5637"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5638U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5639which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5640100% compatible format.
5641
5642Example:
5643
5644	make TQM850L_defconfig
5645	make oldconfig
5646	make dep
5647	make uImage
5648
5649The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5650encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5651CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5652
5653* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5654
5655* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5656
5657	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5658				 -R .note -R .comment \
5659				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5660
5661* compress the binary image:
5662
5663	gzip -9 linux.bin
5664
5665* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5666
5667	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5668		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5669		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5670
5671
5672The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5673with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5674combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5675byte header containing information about target architecture,
5676operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5677stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5678
5679"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5680print the header information, or to build new images.
5681
5682In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5683contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5684checksum verification:
5685
5686	tools/mkimage -l image
5687	  -l ==> list image header information
5688
5689The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5690from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5691
5692	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5693		      -n name -d data_file image
5694	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5695	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5696	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5697	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5698	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5699	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5700	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5701	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5702
5703Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5704address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5705kernel version:
5706
5707- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5708- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5709
5710So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5711
5712	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5713	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5714	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5715	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5716	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5717	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5718	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5719	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5720	Load Address: 0x00000000
5721	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5722
5723To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5724
5725	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5726	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5727	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5728	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5729	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5730	Load Address: 0x00000000
5731	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5732
5733NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5734speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5735needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5736need to be uncompressed:
5737
5738	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5739	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5740	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5741	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5742	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5743	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5744	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5745	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5746	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5747	Load Address: 0x00000000
5748	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5749
5750
5751Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5752when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5753
5754	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5755	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5756	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5757	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5758	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5759	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5760	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5761	Load Address: 0x00000000
5762	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5763
5764The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5765option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5766option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5767from the image:
5768
5769	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5770	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5771	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5772	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5773
5774
5775Installing a Linux Image:
5776-------------------------
5777
5778To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5779you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5780
5781	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5782
5783The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5784image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5785address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5786specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5787command.
5788
5789Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5790TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5791
5792	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5793
5794	.......... done
5795	Erased 8 sectors
5796
5797	=> loads 40100000
5798	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5799	~>examples/image.srec
5800	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5801	...
5802	15989 15990 15991 15992
5803	[file transfer complete]
5804	[connected]
5805	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5806
5807
5808You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5809this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5810corruption happened:
5811
5812	=> imi 40100000
5813
5814	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5815	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
5816	   Image Type:	 PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5817	   Data Size:	 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
5818	   Load Address: 00000000
5819	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
5820	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
5821
5822
5823Boot Linux:
5824-----------
5825
5826The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5827memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5828of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5829parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5830"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5831
5832
5833	=> printenv bootargs
5834	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5835
5836	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5837
5838	=> printenv bootargs
5839	bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5840
5841	=> bootm 40020000
5842	## Booting Linux kernel at 40020000 ...
5843	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for NFS on TQM850L

5955More About U-Boot Image Types:
5956------------------------------
5957
5958U-Boot supports the following image types:
5959
5960   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5961	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5962	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5963	the Standalone Program.
5964   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5965	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5966	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5967	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5968	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5969   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5970	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5971	being started.
5972   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5973	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5974	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5975	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5976	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5977	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5978
5979	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5980	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5981	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5982	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5983	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5984	a multiple of 4 bytes).
5985
5986   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5987	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5988	flash memory.
5989
5990   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5991	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5992	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5993	as command interpreter.
5994
5995Booting the Linux zImage:
5996-------------------------
5997
5998On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5999using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6000as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6001
6002Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
6003kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6004address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6005format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
6006
6007
6008Standalone HOWTO:
6009=================
6010
6011One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6012run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6013U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6014
6015Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6016
6017"Hello World" Demo:
6018-------------------
6019
6020'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6021application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6022It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6023like that:
6024
6025	=> loads
6026	## Ready for S-Record download ...
6027	~>examples/hello_world.srec
6028	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6029	[file transfer complete]
6030	[connected]
6031	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6032
6033	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6034	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6035	Hello World
6036	argc = 7
6037	argv[0] = "40004"
6038	argv[1] = "Hello"
6039	argv[2] = "World!"
6040	argv[3] = "This"
6041	argv[4] = "is"
6042	argv[5] = "a"
6043	argv[6] = "test."
6044	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6045	Hit any key to exit ...
6046
6047	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6048
6049Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6050handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6051Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6052The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6053character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6054controlled by the following keys:
6055
6056	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6057	b - enable interrupts and start timer
6058	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6059	q - quit application
6060
6061	=> loads
6062	## Ready for S-Record download ...

6096Minicom warning:
6097================
6098
6099Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6100"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6101consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6102Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6103especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
6104use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
6105http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6106for help with kermit.
6107
6108
6109Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6110configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
6111
6112	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
6113	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N
6114	Y  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r	 N    D	   Y	   N	  N

6117NetBSD Notes:
6118=============
6119
6120Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6121(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6122
6123Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6124NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6125need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6126Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6127attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6128missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6129
6130	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6131	# mkdir powerpc
6132	# ln -s powerpc machine
6133	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6134	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6135
6136Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6137and U-Boot include files.
6138
6139Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6140stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6141proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6142tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6143meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6144
6145
6146Implementation Internals:
6147=========================
6148
6149The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6150implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6151inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6152hardware.
6153
6154
6155Initial Stack, Global Data:
6156---------------------------
6157
6158The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6159starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6160system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6161This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6162is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6163at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6164options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6165models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6166MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6167locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6168
6169	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6170	U-Boot mailing list:
6171
6172	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6173	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6174	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6175	...
6176
6177	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6178	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6179	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6180	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6181	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6182	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6183	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6184	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6185
6186	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6187	is another option for the system designer to use as an
6188	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6189	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6190	board designers haven't used it for something that would
6191	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6192	used.
6193
6194	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6195	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6196	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6197	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6198	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6199	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6200	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6201	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6202	you get the config right.

6206
6207It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6208code for the initialization procedures:
6209
6210* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6211  to write it.
6212
6213* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6214  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6215  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6216
6217* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6218  that.
6219
6220Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6221normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6222turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6223simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6224functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6225functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6226the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6227place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6228reserve for this purpose.
6229
6230When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6231relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
6232GCC's implementation.
6233
6234For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6235	R1:	stack pointer
6236	R2:	reserved for system use
6237	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
6238	R5-R10: parameter passing
6239	R13:	small data area pointer
6240	R30:	GOT pointer
6241	R31:	frame pointer
6242
6243	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6244	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6245	going back and forth between asm and C)
6246
6247    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6248
6249    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6250    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6251    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6252    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6253    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6254    624 text + 127 data).
6255
6256On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6257	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6258
6259    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6260
6261On ARM, the following registers are used:
6262
6263	R0:	function argument word/integer result
6264	R1-R3:	function argument word
6265	R9:	platform specific
6266	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6267	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
6268	R12:	temporary workspace
6269	R13:	stack pointer
6270	R14:	link register
6271	R15:	program counter
6272
6273    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6274
6275    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6276
6277On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6278	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6279
6280    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6281
6282    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6283    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6284
6285On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6286
6287	R0-R1:	argument/return
6288	R2-R5:	argument

6299NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6300or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6301
6302Memory Management:
6303------------------
6304
6305U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6306MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6307
6308The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6309controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6310memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6311physical memory banks.
6312
6313U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6314TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6315booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6316to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6317memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6318configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6319Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6320
6321Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6322of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6323
6324So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6325this:
6326
6327	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
6328	      :
6329	0x0000 1FFF
6330	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
6331	      :
6332	      :
6333
6334	      :
6335	      :
6336	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6337	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6338	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
6339	      :
6340	0x00FD FFFF
6341	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6342	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6343	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6344	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
6345
6346
6347System Initialization:
6348----------------------
6349
6350In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6351(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6352configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6353To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6354To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6355initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6356which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6357part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6358the caches and the SIU.
6359
6360Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6361preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6362(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6363on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6364programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6365simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6366banks.
6367
6368When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6369different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6370bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63710x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6372contiguous memory starting from 0.
6373
6374Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6375and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6376Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6377pages, and the final stack is set up.
6378
6379Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6380until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6381running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6382new address in RAM.

6459Coding Standards:
6460-----------------
6461
6462All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6463coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6464"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6465
6466Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6467MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6468reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6469sources.
6470
6471Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6472Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6473in your code.
6474
6475Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6476- remove any trailing white space
6477- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6478- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6479- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6480- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6481
6482Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6483with a request to reformat the changes.
6484
6485
6486Submitting Patches:
6487-------------------
6488
6489Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6490establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6491may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6492
6493Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6494
6495Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6496see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6497
6498When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6499it:
6500
6501* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6502  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6503  patch actually fixes something.
6504
6505* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6506  implementation.
6507
6508* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6509
6510* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6511  information and associated file and directory references.
6512
6513* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6514  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6515
6516* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6517  document these in the README file.
6518
6519* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6520  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6521  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6522  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6523  with some other mail clients.
6524
6525  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6526  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6527  GNU diff.
6528
6529  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6530  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6531  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6532  affected files).
6533
6534  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6535  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6536
6537* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6538  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6539
6540* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6541  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6542
6543
6544Notes:
6545
6546* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6547  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6548  for any of the boards.
6549
6550* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6551  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6552  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6553
6554* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6555  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6556  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6557  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6558  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6559  modification.
6560
6561* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6562  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6563  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6564  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
