For instance, all monitor commands are 40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to 41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used 42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can 43load and run it dynamically. 44 45 46Status: 47======= 48 49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the 50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered 51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. 52 53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out 54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board 55maintainers. 56 57 58Where to get help: 59================== 60 61In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 62U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 63<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

The spelling 108"U-Boot" shall be used in all written text (documentation, comments 109in source files etc.). Example: 110 111 This is the README file for the U-Boot project. 112 113File names etc. shall be based on the string "u-boot". Examples: 114 115 include/asm-ppc/u-boot.h 116 117 #include <asm/u-boot.h> 118 119Variable names, preprocessor constants etc. shall be either based on 120the string "u_boot" or on "U_BOOT". Example: 121 122 U_BOOT_VERSION u_boot_logo 123 IH_OS_U_BOOT u_boot_hush_start 124 125 126Versioning: 127=========== 128 129U-Boot uses a 3 level version number containing a version, a 130sub-version, and a patchlevel: "U-Boot-2.34.5" means version "2", 131sub-version "34", and patchlevel "4". 132 133The patchlevel is used to indicate certain stages of development 134between released versions, i. e. officially released versions of 135U-Boot will always have a patchlevel of "0". 136 137 138Directory Hierarchy: 139==================== 140 141- board Board dependent files 142- common Misc architecture independent functions 143- cpu CPU specific files 144 - 74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 145 - arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 146 - arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 147 - at91rm9200 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 148 - imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 149 - s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 150 - arm925t Files specific to ARM 925 CPUs 151 - arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 152 - arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 153 - at32ap Files specific to Atmel AVR32 AP CPUs 154 - blackfin Files specific to Analog Devices Blackfin CPUs 155 - i386 Files specific to i386 CPUs 156 - ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 157 - leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 158 - leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 159 - mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 160 - mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 161 - mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 162 - mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 163 - mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 164 - mips Files specific to MIPS CPUs 165 - mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 166 - mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 167 - mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 168 - mpc8220 Files specific to Freescale MPC8220 CPUs 169 - mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 170 - mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 171 - mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 172 - nios Files specific to Altera NIOS CPUs 173 - nios2 Files specific to Altera Nios-II CPUs 174 - ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 175 - pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 176 - s3c44b0 Files specific to Samsung S3C44B0 CPUs 177 - sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 178- disk Code for disk drive partition handling 179- doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 180- drivers Commonly used device drivers 181- dtt Digital Thermometer and Thermostat drivers 182- examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 183- include Header Files 184- lib_arm Files generic to ARM architecture 185- lib_avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 186- lib_blackfin Files generic to Blackfin architecture 187- lib_generic Files generic to all architectures 188- lib_i386 Files generic to i386 architecture 189- lib_m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 190- lib_mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 191- lib_nios Files generic to NIOS architecture 192- lib_ppc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 193- lib_sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 194- libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 195- net Networking code 196- post Power On Self Test 197- rtc Real Time Clock drivers 198- tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 199 200Software Configuration: 201======================= 202 203Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 204rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 205 206There are two classes of configuration variables: 207 208* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 209 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 210 "CONFIG_". 211 212* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 213 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 214 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 215 "CONFIG_SYS_". 216 217Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 218identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 219do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 220links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 221as an example here. 222 223 224Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 225--------------------------------------------------- 226 227For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 228configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 229 230Example: For a TQM823L module type: 231 232 cd u-boot 233 make TQM823L_config 234 235For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 236e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 237directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 238 239 240Configuration Options: 241---------------------- 242 243Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 244such information is kept in a configuration file 245"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 246 247Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 248"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 249 250 251Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 252kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 253build a config tool - later. 254 255 256The following options need to be configured: 257 258- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 259 260- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 261 262- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 263 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 264 265- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 266 Define exactly one of 267 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 268--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 269 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 270 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 271 272- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 273 Define exactly one of 274 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 275 276- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 277 Define one or more of 278 CONFIG_CMA302 279 280- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 281 Define one or more of 282 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 283 the LCD display every second with 284 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 285 286- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 287 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 288 Possible values are: 289 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 290 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 291 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 292 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 293 294- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 295 Define exactly one of 296 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 297 298- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 299 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 300 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 301 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 302 reference PIT/RTC clock 303 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 304 or XTAL/EXTAL) 305 306- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 307 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 308 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 309 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 310 See doc/README.MPC866 311 312 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 313 314 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 315 of relying on the correctness of the configured 316 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 317 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 318 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 319 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 320 321 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 322 323 Define this option if you want to enable the 324 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 325 326- Intel Monahans options: 327 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 328 329 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 330 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 331 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 332 333 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 334 335 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 336 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 337 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 338 by this value. 339 340- Linux Kernel Interface: 341 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 342 343 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 344 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 345 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 346 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 347 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 348 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 349 Linux kernel. 350 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 351 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 352 default environment. 353 354 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 355 356 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 357 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 358 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 359 360 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 361 362 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 363 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 364 concepts). 365 366 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 367 * New libfdt-based support 368 * Adds the "fdt" command 369 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 370 371 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node. 372 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node. 373 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 374 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 375 376 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 377 addresses 378 379 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 380 381 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 382 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 383 384 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 385 386 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 387 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 388 389- vxWorks boot parameters: 390 391 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 392 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 393 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 394 395 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 396 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 397 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 398 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 399 400 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 401 402 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 403 404 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 405 the defaults discussed just above. 406 407- Serial Ports: 408 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 409 410 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 411 412 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 413 414 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 415 416 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 417 418 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 419 the clock speed of the UARTs. 420 421 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 422 423 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 424 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 425 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 426 427 428- Console Interface: 429 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 430 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 431 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 432 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 433 434 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 435 port routines must be defined elsewhere 436 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 437 438 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 439 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 440 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx) 441 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 442 (default big endian) 443 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 444 rectangle fill 445 (cf. smiLynxEM) 446 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 447 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 448 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 449 (cols=pitch) 450 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 451 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 452 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 453 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 454 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 455 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 456 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 457 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 458 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 459 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 460 (i.e. i8042_getc) 461 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 462 (requires blink timer 463 cf. i8042.c) 464 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 465 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 466 upper right corner 467 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 468 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 469 upper left corner 470 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 471 linux_logo.h for logo. 472 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 473 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 474 additional board info beside 475 the logo 476 477 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 478 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 479 environment 'console=serial'. 480 481 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 482 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 483 the "silent" environment variable. See 484 doc/README.silent for more information. 485 486- Console Baudrate: 487 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 488 Select one of the baudrates listed in 489 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 490 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 491 492- Console Rx buffer length 493 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 494 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 495 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 496 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 497 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 498 the SMC. 499 500- Interrupt driven serial port input: 501 CONFIG_SERIAL_SOFTWARE_FIFO 502 503 PPC405GP only. 504 Use an interrupt handler for receiving data on the 505 serial port. It also enables using hardware handshake 506 (RTS/CTS) and UART's built-in FIFO. Set the number of 507 bytes the interrupt driven input buffer should have. 508 509 Leave undefined to disable this feature, including 510 disable the buffer and hardware handshake. 511 512- Console UART Number: 513 CONFIG_UART1_CONSOLE 514 515 AMCC PPC4xx only. 516 If defined internal UART1 (and not UART0) is used 517 as default U-Boot console. 518 519- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 520 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 521 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 522 523 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 524 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 525 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 526 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 527 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 528 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 529 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 530 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 531 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 532 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 533 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 534 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 535 536- Autoboot Command: 537 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 538 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 539 define a command string that is automatically executed 540 when no character is read on the console interface 541 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 542 543 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 544 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 545 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 546 environment value "bootargs". 547 548 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 549 The value of these goes into the environment as 550 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 551 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 552 RAM and NFS. 553 554- Pre-Boot Commands: 555 CONFIG_PREBOOT 556 557 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 558 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 559 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 560 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 561 entering interactive mode. 562 563 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 564 automatically generated or modified. For an example 565 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 566 modified when the user holds down a certain 567 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 568 booting the systems 569 570- Serial Download Echo Mode: 571 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 572 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 573 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 574 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 575 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 576 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 577 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 578 579- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 580 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 581 Select one of the baudrates listed in 582 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 583 584- Monitor Functions: 585 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 586 from the build by using the #include files 587 "config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted 588 commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h" 589 and augmenting with additional #define's 590 for wanted commands. 591 592 The default command configuration includes all commands 593 except those marked below with a "*". 594 595 CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable 596 CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo 597 CONFIG_CMD_BEDBUG * Include BedBug Debugger 598 CONFIG_CMD_BMP * BMP support 599 CONFIG_CMD_BSP * Board specific commands 600 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTD bootd 601 CONFIG_CMD_CACHE * icache, dcache 602 CONFIG_CMD_CONSOLE coninfo 603 CONFIG_CMD_DATE * support for RTC, date/time... 604 CONFIG_CMD_DHCP * DHCP support 605 CONFIG_CMD_DIAG * Diagnostics 606 CONFIG_CMD_DOC * Disk-On-Chip Support 607 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510 * ds4510 I2C gpio commands 608 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_INFO * ds4510 I2C info command 609 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_MEM * ds4510 I2C eeprom/sram commansd 610 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_RST * ds4510 I2C rst command 611 CONFIG_CMD_DTT * Digital Therm and Thermostat 612 CONFIG_CMD_ECHO echo arguments 613 CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM * EEPROM read/write support 614 CONFIG_CMD_ELF * bootelf, bootvx 615 CONFIG_CMD_SAVEENV saveenv 616 CONFIG_CMD_FDC * Floppy Disk Support 617 CONFIG_CMD_FAT * FAT partition support 618 CONFIG_CMD_FDOS * Dos diskette Support 619 CONFIG_CMD_FLASH flinfo, erase, protect 620 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA FPGA device initialization support 621 CONFIG_CMD_HWFLOW * RTS/CTS hw flow control 622 CONFIG_CMD_I2C * I2C serial bus support 623 CONFIG_CMD_IDE * IDE harddisk support 624 CONFIG_CMD_IMI iminfo 625 CONFIG_CMD_IMLS List all found images 626 CONFIG_CMD_IMMAP * IMMR dump support 627 CONFIG_CMD_IRQ * irqinfo 628 CONFIG_CMD_ITEST Integer/string test of 2 values 629 CONFIG_CMD_JFFS2 * JFFS2 Support 630 CONFIG_CMD_KGDB * kgdb 631 CONFIG_CMD_LOADB loadb 632 CONFIG_CMD_LOADS loads 633 CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY md, mm, nm, mw, cp, cmp, crc, base, 634 loop, loopw, mtest 635 CONFIG_CMD_MISC Misc functions like sleep etc 636 CONFIG_CMD_MMC * MMC memory mapped support 637 CONFIG_CMD_MII * MII utility commands 638 CONFIG_CMD_MTDPARTS * MTD partition support 639 CONFIG_CMD_NAND * NAND support 640 CONFIG_CMD_NET bootp, tftpboot, rarpboot 641 CONFIG_CMD_PCA953X * PCA953x I2C gpio commands 642 CONFIG_CMD_PCA953X_INFO * PCA953x I2C gpio info command 643 CONFIG_CMD_PCI * pciinfo 644 CONFIG_CMD_PCMCIA * PCMCIA support 645 CONFIG_CMD_PING * send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to network 646 host 647 CONFIG_CMD_PORTIO * Port I/O 648 CONFIG_CMD_REGINFO * Register dump 649 CONFIG_CMD_RUN run command in env variable 650 CONFIG_CMD_SAVES * save S record dump 651 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI * SCSI Support 652 CONFIG_CMD_SDRAM * print SDRAM configuration information 653 (requires CONFIG_CMD_I2C) 654 CONFIG_CMD_SETGETDCR Support for DCR Register access 655 (4xx only) 656 CONFIG_CMD_SOURCE "source" command Support 657 CONFIG_CMD_SPI * SPI serial bus support 658 CONFIG_CMD_USB * USB support 659 CONFIG_CMD_VFD * VFD support (TRAB) 660 CONFIG_CMD_CDP * Cisco Discover Protocol support 661 CONFIG_CMD_FSL * Microblaze FSL support 662 663 664 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network 665 support you can write: 666 667 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 668 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 669 670 Other Commands: 671 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 672 673 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 674 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 675 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 676 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 677 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 678 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 679 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 680 initial stack and some data. 681 682 683 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 684 685- Watchdog: 686 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 687 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 688 support. There must be support in the platform specific 689 code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 CPUs, the 690 SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 691 register. 692 693- U-Boot Version: 694 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 695 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 696 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 697 version as printed by the "version" command. 698 This variable is readonly. 699 700- Real-Time Clock: 701 702 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 703 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 704 following options: 705 706 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 707 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 708 CONFIG_RTC_MC13783 - use MC13783 RTC 709 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 710 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc.

MAX6900 RTC 716 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 717 718 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 719 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 720 721- GPIO Support: 722 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 723 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 724 725 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 726 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 727 728- Timestamp Support: 729 730 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 731 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 732 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 733 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 734 735- Partition Support: 736 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION 737 and/or CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION 738 739 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 740 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 741 least one partition type as well. 742 743- IDE Reset method: 744 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 745 board configurations files but used nowhere! 746 747 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 748 be performed by calling the function 749 ide_set_reset(int reset) 750 which has to be defined in a board specific file 751 752- ATAPI Support: 753 CONFIG_ATAPI 754 755 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 756 757- LBA48 Support 758 CONFIG_LBA48 759 760 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 761 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA ,CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF and CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_STRTOUL 762 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 763 support disks up to 2.1TB. 764 765 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 766 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 767 Default is 32bit. 768 769- SCSI Support: 770 At the moment only there is only support for the 771 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 772 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 773 774 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 775 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 776 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 777 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 778 devices. 779 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 780 781- NETWORK Support (PCI): 782 CONFIG_E1000 783 Support for Intel 8254x gigabit chips. 784 785 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 786 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 787 788 CONFIG_EEPRO100 789 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 790 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 791 write routine for first time initialisation. 792 793 CONFIG_TULIP 794 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 795 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 796 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 797 798 CONFIG_NATSEMI 799 Support for National dp83815 chips. 800 801 CONFIG_NS8382X 802 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 803 804- NETWORK Support (other): 805 806 CONFIG_DRIVER_LAN91C96 807 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 808 809 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 810 Define this to hold the physical address 811 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 812 813 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 814 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 815 816 CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC91111 817 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 818 819 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 820 Define this to hold the physical address 821 of the device (I/O space) 822 823 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 824 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 825 826 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 827 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 828 (some hardware wont work with macros) 829 830 CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X 831 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 832 833 CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_BASE 834 Define this to hold the physical address 835 of the device (I/O space) 836 837 CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_32_BIT 838 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 839 840 CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_16_BIT 841 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 842 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 843 words you may also try CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC911X_32_BIT. 844 845- USB Support: 846 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 847 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 848 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 849 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 850 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 851 storage devices. 852 Note: 853 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 854 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 855 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 856 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 857 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 858 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 859 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 860 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 861 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 862 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 863 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 864 865- USB Device: 866 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 867 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 868 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 869 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 870 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 871 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 872 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 873 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 874 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 875 a Linux host by 876 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 877 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 878 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 879 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 880 881 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 882 Define this to build a UDC device 883 884 CONFIG_USB_TTY 885 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 886 talk to the UDC device 887 888 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 889 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 890 be set to usbtty. 891 892 mpc8xx: 893 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 894 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 895 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 896 897 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 898 Derive USB clock from brgclk 899 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 900 901 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 902 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 903 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 904 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 905 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 906 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 907 908 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 909 Define this string as the name of your company for 910 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 911 912 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 913 Define this string as the name of your product 914 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 915 916 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 917 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 918 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 919 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 920 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 921 922 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 923 Define this as the unique Product ID 924 for your device 925 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 926 927 928- MMC Support: 929 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 930 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 931 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 932 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 933 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 934 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 935 936- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 937 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 938 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 939 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 940 941 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 942 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 943 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 944 945 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 946 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 947 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 948 949 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 950 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 951 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 952 have not defined a custom partition 953 954- Keyboard Support: 955 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 956 957 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 958 support 959 960 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 961 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 962 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 963 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 964 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 965 966- Video support: 967 CONFIG_VIDEO 968 969 Define this to enable video support (for output to 970 video). 971 972 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 973 974 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 975 976 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 977 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 978 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 979 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 980 assumed. 981 982 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 983 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 984 are possible: 985 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 986 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 987 988 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 989 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 990 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 991 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 992 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 993 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 994 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 995 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 996 997 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 998 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 999 1000 1001 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1002 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1003 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1004 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1005 1006- Keyboard Support: 1007 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1008 1009 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1010 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1011 defined in your board-specific files. 1012 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1013 1014- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1015 1016 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1017 display); also select one of the supported displays 1018 by defining one of these: 1019 1020 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1021 1022 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1023 1024 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1025 1026 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1027 1028 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1029 1030 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1031 Active, color, single scan. 1032 1033 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1034 1035 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1036 Active, color, single scan. 1037 1038 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1039 1040 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1041 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1042 1043 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1044 1045 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1046 Active, color, single scan. 1047 1048 CONFIG_HLD1045 1049 1050 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1051 Active, color, single scan. 1052 1053 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1054 1055 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1056 or 1057 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1058 or 1059 Hitachi SP14Q002 1060 1061 320x240. Black & white. 1062 1063 Normally display is black on white background; define 1064 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1065 1066- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1067 1068 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1069 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1070 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1071 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1072 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1073 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1074 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1075 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1076 1077- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1078 1079 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1080 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1081 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1082 1083- Compression support: 1084 CONFIG_BZIP2 1085 1086 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1087 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1088 compressed images are supported. 1089 1090 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1091 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1092 be at least 4MB. 1093 1094 CONFIG_LZMA 1095 1096 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1097 images is included. 1098 1099 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1100 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1101 formula: 1102 1103 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1104 1105 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1106 and Literal pos bits. 1107 1108 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1109 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1110 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1111 a very small buffer. 1112 1113 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1114 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1115 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1116 1117- MII/PHY support: 1118 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1119 1120 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1121 1122 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1123 1124 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1125 1126 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1127 1128 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1129 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1130 1131 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1132 1133 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1134 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1135 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1136 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1137 1138 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1139 1140 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1141 command issued before MII status register can be read 1142 1143- Ethernet address: 1144 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1145 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1146 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1147 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1148 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1149 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1150 1151 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1152 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1153 is not determined automatically. 1154 1155- IP address: 1156 CONFIG_IPADDR 1157 1158 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1159 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1160 determined through e.g. bootp. 1161 1162- Server IP address: 1163 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1164 1165 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1166 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1167 1168- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1169 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1170 1171 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1172 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1173 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1174 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1175 multicast group. 1176 1177 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1178- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1179 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1180 1181 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1182 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1183 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1184 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1185 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1186 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1187 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1188 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1189 following delays are inserted then: 1190 1191 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1192 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1193 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1194 4th and following 1195 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1196 1197- DHCP Advanced Options: 1198 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1199 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1200 1201 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1202 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1203 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1204 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1205 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1206 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1207 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1208 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1209 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1210 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1211 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1212 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1213 1214 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1215 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1216 1217 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1218 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1219 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1220 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1221 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1222 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1223 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1224 is defined. 1225 1226 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1227 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1228 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1229 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1230 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1231 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1232 1233 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1234 1235 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1236 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1237 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1238 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1239 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1240 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1241 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1242 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1243 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1244 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1245 this delay. 1246 1247 - CDP Options: 1248 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1249 1250 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1251 1252 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1253 1254 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1255 of the device. 1256 1257 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1258 1259 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1260 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1261 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1262 1263 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1264 1265 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1266 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1267 1268 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1269 1270 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1271 1272 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1273 1274 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1275 1276 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1277 1278 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1279 1280 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1281 1282 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1283 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1284 1285 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1286 1287 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1288 1289- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1290 1291 Several configurations allow to display the current 1292 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1293 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1294 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1295 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1296 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1297 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1298 feature in U-Boot. 1299 1300- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1301 1302 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1303 on those systems that support this (optional) 1304 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1305 1306- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 1307 1308 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of 1309 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will 1310 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. 1311 1312 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 1313 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 1314 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 1315 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 1316 command line interface. 1317 1318 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 1319 1320 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka 1321 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware 1322 support for I2C. 1323 1324 There are several other quantities that must also be 1325 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. 1326 1327 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 1328 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 1329 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 1330 the CPU's i2c node address). 1331 1332 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx (cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) 1333 sets the CPU up as a master node and so its address should 1334 therefore be cleared to 0 (See, eg, MPC823e User's Manual 1335 p.16-473). So, set CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 1336 1337 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 1338 1339 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) 1340 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1341 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1342 1343 I2C_INIT 1344 1345 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1346 controller or configure ports. 1347 1348 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1349 1350 I2C_PORT 1351 1352 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 1353 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 1354 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 1355 1356 I2C_ACTIVE 1357 1358 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 1359 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 1360 define can be null. 1361 1362 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 1363 1364 I2C_TRISTATE 1365 1366 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 1367 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 1368 define can be null. 1369 1370 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 1371 1372 I2C_READ 1373 1374 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high, 1375 FALSE if it is low. 1376 1377 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 1378 1379 I2C_SDA(bit) 1380 1381 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it 1382 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1383 1384 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 1385 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 1386 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 1387 1388 I2C_SCL(bit) 1389 1390 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 1391 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1392 1393 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 1394 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 1395 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 1396 1397 I2C_DELAY 1398 1399 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 1400 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 1401 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 1402 like: 1403 1404 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 1405 1406 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 1407 1408 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1409 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1410 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 1411 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 1412 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 1413 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 1414 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 1415 is run early in the boot sequence. 1416 1417 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 1418 1419 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 1420 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 1421 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 1422 1423 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1424 1425 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 1426 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 1427 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 1428 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 1429 1430 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 1431 1432 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 1433 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1434 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 1435 a 1D array of device addresses 1436 1437 e.g. 1438 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1439 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 1440 1441 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 1442 1443 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1444 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 1445 1446 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 1447 1448 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 1449 1450 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 1451 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 1452 1453 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 1454 1455 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 1456 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 1457 1458 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 1459 1460 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 1461 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 1462 1463 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 1464 1465 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 1466 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 1467 specified DTT device. 1468 1469 CONFIG_FSL_I2C 1470 1471 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in 1472 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. 1473 1474 CONFIG_I2C_MUX 1475 1476 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n 1477 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C 1478 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a 1479 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the 1480 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for 1481 the muxes to activate this new "bus". 1482 1483 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this 1484 feature! 1485 1486 Example: 1487 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes 1488 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 1489 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 1490 1491 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 1492 1493 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list 1494 of I2C Busses with muxes: 1495 1496 => i2c bus 1497 Busses reached over muxes: 1498 Bus ID: 2 1499 reached over Mux(es): 1500 pca9544a@70 ch: 4 1501 Bus ID: 3 1502 reached over Mux(es): 1503 pca9544a@70 ch: 6 1504 pca9544a@71 ch: 4 1505 => 1506 1507 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" 1508 u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable 1509 channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable 1510 the channel 4. 1511 1512 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as 1513 usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind 1514 the 2 muxes. 1515 1516 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging 1517 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C 1518 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult 1519 to add this option to other architectures. 1520 1521 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 1522 1523 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 1524 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 1525 between writing the address pointer and reading the 1526 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 1527 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 1528 devices can use either method, but some require one or 1529 the other. 1530 1531- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 1532 1533 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 1534 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 1535 D/As on the SACSng board) 1536 1537 CONFIG_SPI_X 1538 1539 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 1540 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 1541 1542 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 1543 1544 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 1545 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 1546 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 1547 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 1548 defined, the board configuration must define several 1549 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 1550 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 1551 1552 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 1553 1554 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 1555 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 1556 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 1557 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 1558 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 1559 1560 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 1561 1562 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 1563 SoCs. Currently only i.MX31 is supported. 1564 1565- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 1566 1567 Enables FPGA subsystem. 1568 1569 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 1570 1571 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 1572 (ALTERA, XILINX) 1573 1574 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 1575 1576 Enables support for FPGA family. 1577 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 1578 1579 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 1580 1581 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 1582 1583 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 1584 1585 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 1586 1587 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 1588 1589 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 1590 status by the configuration function. This option 1591 will require a board or device specific function to 1592 be written. 1593 1594 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 1595 1596 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 1597 configuration driver. 1598 1599 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 1600 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 1601 1602 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 1603 1604 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 1605 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 1606 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 1607 indicated a CRC error). 1608 1609 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 1610 1611 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 1612 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 1613 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 1614 ms. 1615 1616 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 1617 1618 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 1619 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 1620 1621 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 1622 1623 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 1624 200 ms. 1625 1626- Configuration Management: 1627 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 1628 1629 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 1630 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 1631 1632- Vendor Parameter Protection: 1633 1634 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 1635 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 1636 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 1637 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 1638 protects these variables from casual modification by 1639 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 1640 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 1641 change this behaviour: 1642 1643 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 1644 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 1645 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 1646 these parameters. 1647 1648 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 1649 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 1650 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 1651 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 1652 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 1653 read-only.] 1654 1655- Protected RAM: 1656 CONFIG_PRAM 1657 1658 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 1659 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 1660 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 1661 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 1662 this default value by defining an environment 1663 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 1664 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 1665 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 1666 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 1667 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 1668 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 1669 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 1670 1671 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 1672 saveenv 1673 1674 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 1675 either, which results in a memory region that will 1676 not be affected by reboots. 1677 1678 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 1679 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 1680 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 1681 following board configurations are known to be 1682 "pRAM-clean": 1683 1684 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 1685 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC, 1686 PCU_E, FLAGADM, TQM8260 1687 1688- Error Recovery: 1689 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 1690 1691 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 1692 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 1693 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 1694 system where you want the system to reboot 1695 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 1696 useful during development since you can try to debug 1697 the conditions that lead to the situation. 1698 1699 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 1700 1701 This variable defines the number of retries for 1702 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 1703 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 1704 default value of 5 is used. 1705 1706 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 1707 1708 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 1709 1710- Command Interpreter: 1711 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 1712 1713 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 1714 1715 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 1716 for the "hush" shell. 1717 1718 1719 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 1720 1721 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 1722 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 1723 powerful command line syntax like 1724 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 1725 constructs ("shell scripts"). 1726 1727 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 1728 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 1729 1730 1731 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 1732 1733 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 1734 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 1735 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 1736 1737 Note: 1738 1739 In the current implementation, the local variables 1740 space and global environment variables space are 1741 separated. Local variables are those you define by 1742 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 1743 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 1744 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 1745 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 1746 1747 Global environment variables are those you use 1748 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 1749 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 1750 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 1751 1752 To store commands and special characters in a 1753 variable, please use double quotation marks 1754 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 1755 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 1756 symbols. 1757 1758- Commandline Editing and History: 1759 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 1760 1761 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 1762 commandline input operations 1763 1764- Default Environment: 1765 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 1766 1767 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 1768 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 1769 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 1770 1771 For example, place something like this in your 1772 board's config file: 1773 1774 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 1775 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 1776 "myvar2=value2\0" 1777 1778 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 1779 internal format how the environment is stored by the 1780 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 1781 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 1782 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 1783 You better know what you are doing here. 1784 1785 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 1786 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 1787 the environment like the "source" command or the 1788 boot command first. 1789 1790- DataFlash Support: 1791 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 1792 1793 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 1794 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 1795 commands cp, md... 1796 1797- SystemACE Support: 1798 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 1799 1800 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 1801 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 1802 of the chip must also be defined in the 1803 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 1804 1805 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 1806 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 1807 1808 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 1809 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 1810 1811- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 1812 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 1813 1814 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 1815 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 1816 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 1817 number generator is used. 1818 1819 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 1820 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 1821 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 1822 1823 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 1824 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 1825 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 1826 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 1827 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 1828 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 1829 but sometimes that is not allowed. 1830 1831- Show boot progress: 1832 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 1833 1834 Defining this option allows to add some board- 1835 specific code (calling a user-provided function 1836 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 1837 the system's boot progress on some display (for 1838 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 1839 the following checkpoints are implemented: 1840 1841- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 1842 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 1843 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 1844 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 1845 1846 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 1847 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 1848 1849- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 1850 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 1851 1852 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 1853 Needed for mtdparts command support. 1854 1855 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 1856 1857 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 1858 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 1859 1860Legacy uImage format: 1861 1862 Arg Where When 1863 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 1864 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header has bad magic

2015-------------- 2016 2017[so far only for SMDK2400 and TRAB boards] 2018 2019- Modem support enable: 2020 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 2021 2022- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 2023 CONFIG_HWFLOW 2024 2025- Modem debug support: 2026 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 2027 2028 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 2029 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 2030 2031- Interrupt support (PPC): 2032 2033 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 2034 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 2035 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 2036 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 2037 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 2038 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 2039 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 2040 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 2041 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 2042 general timer_interrupt(). 2043 2044- General: 2045 2046 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 2047 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 2048 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 2049 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 2050 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 2051 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 2052 initialization. 2053 2054 If there are no modem init strings in the 2055 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 2056 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 2057 suppressed, though. 2058 2059 See also: doc/README.Modem 2060 2061 2062Configuration Settings: 2063----------------------- 2064 2065- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 2066 undefine this when you're short of memory. 2067 2068- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 2069 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 2070 2071- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 2072 prompt for user input. 2073 2074- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 2075 2076- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 2077 2078- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 2079 2080- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 2081 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 2082 booted 2083 2084- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 2085 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 2086 2087- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 2088 Suppress display of console information at boot. 2089 2090- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 2091 If the board specific function 2092 extern int overwrite_console (void); 2093 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 2094 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 2095 2096- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 2097 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 2098 2099- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 2100 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 2101 2102- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 2103 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 2104 simple memory test. 2105 2106- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 2107 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 2108 2109- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 2110 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 2111 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 2112 2113- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 2114 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 2115 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 2116 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 2117 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 2118 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 2119 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 2120 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 2121 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 2122 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 2123 2124 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 2125 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 2126 be touched. 2127 2128 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 2129 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 2130 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 2131 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 2132 problems. 2133 2134- CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR: 2135 Default load address for network file downloads 2136 2137- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 2138 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 2139 2140- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 2141 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 2142 2143- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 2144 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 2145 Cogent motherboard) 2146 2147- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 2148 Physical start address of Flash memory. 2149 2150- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 2151 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 2152 make config files to be same as the text base address 2153 (TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 2154 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 2155 2156- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 2157 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 2158 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 2159 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 2160 flash sector. 2161 2162- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 2163 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 2164 2165- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 2166 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 2167 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 2168 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 2169 to adjust this setting to your needs. 2170 2171- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 2172 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 2173 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 2174 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 2175 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 2176 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 2177 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 2178 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. 2179 2180- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 2181 Max number of Flash memory banks 2182 2183- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 2184 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 2185 2186- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 2187 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 2188 2189- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 2190 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 2191 2192- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 2193 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 2194 2195- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 2196 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 2197 2198- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 2199 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 2200 instead of U-Boot software protection. 2201 2202- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 2203 2204 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 2205 without this option such a download has to be 2206 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 2207 copy from RAM to flash. 2208 2209 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 2210 you can check if the download worked before you erase 2211 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 2212 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 2213 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 2214 2215- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 2216 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 2217 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 2218 2219- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 2220 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 2221 in the drivers directory 2222 2223- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 2224 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 2225 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 2226 to the MTD layer. 2227 2228- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 2229 Use buffered writes to flash. 2230 2231- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 2232 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 2233 write commands. 2234 2235- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 2236 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 2237 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 2238 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 2239 optionally available. 2240 2241- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 2242 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 2243 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 2244 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 2245 2246- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 2247 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 2248 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 2249 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 2250 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 2251 on high Ethernet traffic. 2252 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 2253 2254The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 2255of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 2256following configurations: 2257 2258- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 2259 2260 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 2261 2262 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 2263 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 2264 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 2265 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 2266 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 2267 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 2268 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 2269 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 2270 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 2271 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 2272 between U-Boot and the environment. 2273 2274 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2275 2276 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 2277 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 2278 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 2279 for this sector is given here. 2280 2281 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 2282 2283 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2284 2285 This is just another way to specify the start address of 2286 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 2287 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 2288 2289 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 2290 2291 Size of the sector containing the environment. 2292 2293 2294 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 2295 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 2296 the environment. 2297 2298 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2299 2300 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 2301 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 2302 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 2303 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 2304 2305 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 2306 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 2307 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 2308 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 2309 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 2310 updating the environment in flash makes it always 2311 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 2312 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 2313 RAM, your target system will be dead. 2314 2315 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 2316 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 2317 2318 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 2319 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 2320 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 2321 a "saveenv" operation. 2322 2323BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 2324source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 2325accordingly! 2326 2327 2328- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 2329 2330 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 2331 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 2332 environment. 2333 2334 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2335 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2336 2337 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 2338 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 2339 can just be read and written to, without any special 2340 provision. 2341 2342BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 2343in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 2344console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 2345U-Boot will hang. 2346 2347Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 2348environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 2349keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 2350to save the current settings. 2351 2352 2353- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 2354 2355 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 2356 device and a driver for it. 2357 2358 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2359 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2360 2361 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 2362 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 2363 2364 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 2365 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 2366 The default address is zero. 2367 2368 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 2369 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 2370 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 2371 would require six bits. 2372 2373 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 2374 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 2375 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 2376 2377 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 2378 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 2379 that this is NOT the chip address length! 2380 2381 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 2382 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 2383 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 2384 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 2385 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 2386 byte chips. 2387 2388 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 2389 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 2390 in the chip address. 2391 2392 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 2393 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 2394 2395 2396- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 2397 2398 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 2399 want to use for the environment. 2400 2401 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2402 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2403 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2404 2405 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 2406 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 2407 at the specified address. 2408 2409- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 2410 2411 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 2412 for the environment. 2413 2414 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2415 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2416 2417 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 2418 area within the first NAND device. 2419 2420 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND 2421 2422 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 2423 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, 2424 so that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a 2425 power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 2426 2427 Note: CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET and CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be aligned 2428 to a block boundary, and CONFIG_ENV_SIZE must be a multiple of 2429 the NAND devices block size. 2430 2431- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 2432 2433 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 2434 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 2435 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 2436 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 2437 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 2438 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 2439 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 2440 2441Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 2442has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 2443created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_r() 2444until then to read environment variables. 2445 2446The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 2447is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 2448with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 2449necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 2450"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 2451have any device yet where we could complain.] 2452 2453Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 2454the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 2455use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 2456 2457- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 2458 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 2459 2460 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 2461 also needs to be defined. 2462 2463- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 2464 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 2465 2466- CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_VSPRINTF: 2467 Makes vsprintf (and all *printf functions) support printing 2468 of 64bit values by using the L quantifier 2469 2470- CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_STRTOUL: 2471 Adds simple_strtoull that returns a 64bit value 2472 2473- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 2474 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 2475 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 2476 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 2477 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 2478 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 2479 2480Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 2481--------------------------------------------------- 2482 2483- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 2484 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 2485 2486- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 2487 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 2488 2489 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 2490 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 2491 the IMMR register after a reset. 2492 2493- Floppy Disk Support: 2494 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 2495 2496 the default drive number (default value 0) 2497 2498 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 2499 2500 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 2501 (default value 1) 2502 2503 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 2504 2505 defines the offset of register from address. It 2506 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 2507 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 2508 2509 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 2510 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 2511 default value. 2512 2513 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 2514 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 2515 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 2516 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 2517 initializations. 2518 2519- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 2520 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 2521 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 2522 2523- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 2524 2525 Start address of memory area that can be used for 2526 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 2527 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 2528 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 2529 will become available only after programming the 2530 memory controller and running certain initialization 2531 sequences. 2532 2533 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 2534 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 2535 - MPC824X: data cache 2536 - PPC4xx: data cache 2537 2538- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 2539 2540 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 2541 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 2542 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 2543 data is located at the end of the available space 2544 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_END - 2545 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 2546 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 2547 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 2548 2549 Note: 2550 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 2551 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 2552 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 2553 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 2554 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 2555 2556- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 2557 2558- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 2559 2560- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 2561 2562- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 2563 2564- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 2565 2566- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 2567 2568- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 2569 SDRAM timing 2570 2571- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 2572 periodic timer for refresh 2573 2574- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 2575 2576- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 2577 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 2578 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 2579 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 2580 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 2581 2582- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 2583 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 2584 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 2585 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 2586 2587- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 2588 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 2589 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 2590 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 2591 2592- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 2593 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 2594 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 2595 2596- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 2597 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 2598 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 2599 2600- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 2601 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 2602 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 2603 2604- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 2605 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 2606 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 2607 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 2608 2609- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 2610 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 2611 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 2612 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 2613 cpm_8260.h. 2614 2615- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 2616 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 2617 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 2618 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 2619 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 2620 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 2621 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 2622 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 2623 Overrides the default PCI memory map in cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 2624 2625- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 2626 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 2627 required. 2628 2629- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 2630 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 2631 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 2632 2633 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 2634 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 2635 2636- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2637 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 2638 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 2639 to something your driver can deal with. 2640 2641- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 2642 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 2643 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 2644 2645- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 2646 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 2647 2648- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 2649 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 2650 to the given FEC; i. e. 2651 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 2652 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 2653 2654 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 2655 2656- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 2657 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 2658 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 2659 2660- CONFIG_RMII 2661 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 2662 Note that this is a global option, we can't 2663 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 2664 2665- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 2666 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 2667 The syntax is: 2668 2669 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 2670 2671 Where address/count indicate a memory area 2672 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 2673 area should have. 2674 2675- CONFIG_LOOPW 2676 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 2677 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 2678 2679- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 2680 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 2681 "md/mw" commands. 2682 Examples: 2683 2684 => mdc.b 10 4 500 2685 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 2686 2687 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 2688 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 2689 2690 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 2691 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 2692 2693- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 2694- CONFIG_SKIP_RELOCATE_UBOOT 2695 2696 [ARM only] If these variables are defined, then 2697 certain low level initializations (like setting up 2698 the memory controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does 2699 not relocate itself into RAM. 2700 Normally these variables MUST NOT be defined. The 2701 only exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by 2702 some other boot loader or by a debugger which 2703 performs these initializations itself. 2704 2705- CONFIG_PRELOADER 2706 2707 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 2708 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 2709 compiling a NAND SPL. 2710 2711Building the Software: 2712====================== 2713 2714Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 2715and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 2716all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 2717(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 2718recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 2719which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 2720 2721If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 2722have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 2723you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 2724Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 2725necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 2726 2727 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 2728 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 2729 2730Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 2731 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 2732 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 2733 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 2734 2735 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 2736 2737 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 2738 be executed on computers running Windows. 2739 2740U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 2741sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 2742is done by typing: 2743 2744 make NAME_config 2745 2746where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 2747rations; see the main Makefile for supported names. 2748 2749Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 2750 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 2751 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 2752 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 2753 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 2754 2755 make TQM823L_config 2756 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 2757 2758 make TQM823L_LCD_config 2759 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 2760 2761 etc. 2762 2763 2764Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 2765images ready for download to / installation on your system: 2766 2767- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 2768- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 2769- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 2770 2771By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 2772in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 2773this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 2774 27751. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 2776 2777 make O=/tmp/build distclean 2778 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 2779 make O=/tmp/build all 2780 27812. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 2782 2783 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 2784 make distclean 2785 make NAME_config 2786 make all 2787 2788Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 2789variable. 2790 2791 2792Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 2793for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 2794native "make". 2795 2796 2797If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 2798to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 2799steps: 2800 28011. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 2802 "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing 2803 entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places 2804 boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please 2805 keep this order. 28062. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 2807 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 2808 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 28093. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 2810 your board 28113. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 2812 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 28134. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 28145. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 2815 to be installed on your target system. 28166. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 2817 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 2818 2819 2820Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 2821============================================================== 2822 2823If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 2824or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 2825provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 2826the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 2827official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 2828 2829But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 2830cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 2831the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 2832just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 2833for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 2834select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 2835environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 2836you can type 2837 2838 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 2839 2840or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 2841 2842 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 2843 2844When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 2845U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 2846setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 2847built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 2848<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 2849location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 2850variable. For example: 2851 2852 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 2853 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 2854 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 2855 2856With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 2857log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 2858during the whole build process. 2859 2860 2861See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 2862 2863 2864Monitor Commands - Overview: 2865============================ 2866 2867go - start application at address 'addr' 2868run - run commands in an environment variable 2869bootm - boot application image from memory 2870bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 2871tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 2872 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 2873 (and eventually "gatewayip") 2874rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 2875diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 2876loads - load S-Record file over serial line 2877loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 2878md - memory display 2879mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 2880nm - memory modify (constant address) 2881mw - memory write (fill) 2882cp - memory copy 2883cmp - memory compare 2884crc32 - checksum calculation 2885i2c - I2C sub-system 2886sspi - SPI utility commands 2887base - print or set address offset 2888printenv- print environment variables 2889setenv - set environment variables 2890saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 2891protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 2892erase - erase FLASH memory 2893flinfo - print FLASH memory information 2894bdinfo - print Board Info structure 2895iminfo - print header information for application image 2896coninfo - print console devices and informations 2897ide - IDE sub-system 2898loop - infinite loop on address range 2899loopw - infinite write loop on address range 2900mtest - simple RAM test 2901icache - enable or disable instruction cache 2902dcache - enable or disable data cache 2903reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 2904echo - echo args to console 2905version - print monitor version 2906help - print online help 2907? - alias for 'help' 2908 2909 2910Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 2911======================================== 2912 2913TODO. 2914 2915For now: just type "help <command>". 2916 2917 2918Environment Variables: 2919====================== 2920 2921U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 2922can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 2923 2924Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 2925"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 2926without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 2927environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 2928working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 2929environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 2930 2931Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables: 2932 2933 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 2934 2935 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 2936 2937 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 2938 2939 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 2940 2941 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 2942 2943 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 2944 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 2945 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 2946 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 2947 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 2948 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 2949 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. 2950 2951 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 2952 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 2953 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 2954 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 2955 environment variable. 2956 2957 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 2958 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 2959 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 2960 2961 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 2962 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 2963 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 2964 load any image using TFTP 2965 2966 autoscript - if set to "yes" commands like "loadb", "loady", 2967 "bootp", "tftpb", "rarpboot" and "nfs" will attempt 2968 to automatically run script images (by internally 2969 calling "source"). 2970 2971 autoscript_uname - if script image is in a format (FIT) this 2972 variable is used to get script subimage unit name. 2973 2974 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 2975 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 2976 be automatically started (by internally calling 2977 "bootm") 2978 2979 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 2980 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 2981 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 2982 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 2983 data. 2984 2985 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2986 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 2987 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 2988 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 2989 it must be saved and board must be reset. 2990 2991 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 2992 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 2993 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 2994 is usually what you want since it allows for 2995 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 2996 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 2997 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 2998 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 2999 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 3000 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 3001 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 3002 3003 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 3004 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 3005 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 3006 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 3007 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 3008 12 MB as well - this can be done with 3009 3010 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 3011 3012 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 3013 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 3014 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 3015 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 3016 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 3017 boot time on your system, but requires that this 3018 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 3019 3020 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3021 3022 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 3023 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 3024 3025 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 3026 3027 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3028 3029 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 3030 3031 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 3032 3033 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 3034 3035 ethprime - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which 3036 interface is used first. 3037 3038 ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which 3039 interface is currently active. For example you 3040 can do the following 3041 3042 => setenv ethact FEC ETHERNET 3043 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC ETHERNET 3044 => setenv ethact SCC ETHERNET 3045 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC ETHERNET 3046 3047 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 3048 available network interfaces. 3049 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 3050 3051 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 3052 either succeed or fail without retrying. 3053 When set to "once" the network operation will 3054 fail when all the available network interfaces 3055 are tried once without success. 3056 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 3057 themselves. 3058 3059 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 3060 3061 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 3062 UDP source port. 3063 3064 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 3065 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 3066 3067 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 3068 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 3069 VLAN tagged frames. 3070 3071The following environment variables may be used and automatically 3072updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 3073depending the information provided by your boot server: 3074 3075 bootfile - see above 3076 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 3077 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 3078 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 3079 hostname - Target hostname 3080 ipaddr - see above 3081 netmask - Subnet Mask 3082 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 3083 serverip - see above 3084 3085 3086There are two special Environment Variables: 3087 3088 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 3089 as type string and/or serial number 3090 ethaddr - Ethernet address 3091 3092These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 3093the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 3094once they have been set once. 3095 3096 3097Further special Environment Variables: 3098 3099 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 3100 with the "version" command. This variable is 3101 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 3102 3103 3104Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 3105only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 3106 3107 3108Command Line Parsing: 3109===================== 3110 3111There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 3112the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 3113 3114Old, simple command line parser: 3115-------------------------------- 3116 3117- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 3118- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 3119- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 3120- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 3121 for example: 3122 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 3123- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 3124 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 3125 3126Hush shell: 3127----------- 3128 3129- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 3130 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 3131 until...do...done, ... 3132- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 3133 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 3134 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 3135 command 3136 3137General rules: 3138-------------- 3139 3140(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 3141 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 3142 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 3143 executed anyway. 3144 3145(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 3146 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 3147 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 3148 variables are not executed. 3149 3150Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 3151======================================= 3152 3153Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 3154such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 3155"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 3156 3157Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 3158MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 3159"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 3160 3161If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 3162in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 3163ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 3164variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 3165 3166o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 3167 environment, the SROM's address is used. 3168 3169o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 3170 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 3171 used. 3172 3173o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 3174 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 3175 3176o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 3177 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 3178 warning is printed. 3179 3180o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 3181 is raised. 3182 3183 3184Image Formats: 3185============== 3186 3187U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 3188images in two formats: 3189 3190New uImage format (FIT) 3191----------------------- 3192 3193Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 3194to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 3195components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 3196SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 3197 3198 3199Old uImage format 3200----------------- 3201 3202Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 3203preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 3204details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 3205 3206* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 3207 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 3208 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 3209 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 3210 INTEGRITY). 3211* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 3212 IA64, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 3213 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NIOS, PowerPC). 3214* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 3215* Load Address 3216* Entry Point 3217* Image Name 3218* Image Timestamp 3219 3220The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 3221and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 3222CRC32 checksums. 3223 3224 3225Linux Support: 3226============== 3227 3228Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 3229easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 3230U-Boot. 3231 3232U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 3233special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 3234"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 3235instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 3236serves several purposes: 3237 3238- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 3239 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 3240 Flash memory footprint) 3241 3242- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 3243 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 3244 3245- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 3246 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 3247 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 3248 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 3249 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 3250 software is easier now. 3251 3252 3253Linux HOWTO: 3254============ 3255 3256Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 3257--------------------------------------- 3258 3259U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 3260configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 3261(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 3262Linux :-). 3263 3264But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/ppc/mbxboot). 3265 3266Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 3267include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 3268Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 3269and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 3270as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 3271 3272 3273Configuring the Linux kernel: 3274----------------------------- 3275 3276No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 3277device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 3278 3279 3280Building a Linux Image: 3281----------------------- 3282 3283With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 3284not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 3285"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 3286U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 3287which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 3288100% compatible format. 3289 3290Example: 3291 3292 make TQM850L_config 3293 make oldconfig 3294 make dep 3295 make uImage 3296 3297The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 3298encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 3299CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 3300 3301* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 3302 3303* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 3304 3305 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 3306 -R .note -R .comment \ 3307 -S vmlinux linux.bin 3308 3309* compress the binary image: 3310 3311 gzip -9 linux.bin 3312 3313* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 3314 3315 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 3316 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 3317 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 3318 3319 3320The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 3321with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 3322combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 3323byte header containing information about target architecture, 3324operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 3325stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 3326 3327"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 3328print the header information, or to build new images. 3329 3330In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 3331contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 3332checksum verification: 3333 3334 tools/mkimage -l image 3335 -l ==> list image header information 3336 3337The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 3338from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 3339 3340 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 3341 -n name -d data_file image 3342 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 3343 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 3344 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 3345 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 3346 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 3347 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 3348 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 3349 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 3350 3351Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 3352address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 3353kernel version: 3354 3355- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 3356- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 3357 3358So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 3359 3360 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 3361 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 3362 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 3363 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 3364 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 3365 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 3366 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 3367 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 3368 Load Address: 0x00000000 3369 Entry Point: 0x00000000 3370 3371To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 3372 3373 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 3374 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 3375 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 3376 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 3377 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 3378 Load Address: 0x00000000 3379 Entry Point: 0x00000000 3380 3381NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 3382speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 3383needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 3384need to be uncompressed: 3385 3386 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 3387 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 3388 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 3389 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/ppc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 3390 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 3391 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 3392 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 3393 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 3394 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 3395 Load Address: 0x00000000 3396 Entry Point: 0x00000000 3397 3398 3399Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 3400when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 3401 3402 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 3403 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 3404 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 3405 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 3406 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 3407 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 3408 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 3409 Load Address: 0x00000000 3410 Entry Point: 0x00000000 3411 3412 3413Installing a Linux Image: 3414------------------------- 3415 3416To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 3417you must convert the image to S-Record format: 3418 3419 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 3420 3421The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 3422image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 3423address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 3604 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 3605 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 3606 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 3607 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 3608 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 3609 being started. 3610 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 3611 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 3612 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 3613 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 3614 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 3615 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 3616 3617 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 3618 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 3619 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 3620 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 3621 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 3622 a multiple of 4 bytes). 3623 3624 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 3625 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 3626 flash memory. 3627 3628 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 3629 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 3630 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 3631 as command interpreter. 3632 3633 3634Standalone HOWTO: 3635================= 3636 3637One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 3638run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 3639U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 3640 3641Two simple examples are included with the sources: 3642 3643"Hello World" Demo: 3644------------------- 3645 3646'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 3647application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 3648It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 3649like that: 3650 3651 => loads 3652 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 3653 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 3654 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 3655 [file transfer complete] 3656 [connected] 3657 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 3658 3659 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 3680controlled by the following keys: 3681 3682 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 3683 b - enable interrupts and start timer 3684 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 3685 q - quit application 3686 3687 => loads 3688 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 3689 ~>examples/timer.srec 3690 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 3691 [file transfer complete] 3692 [connected] 3693 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 3694 3695 => go 40004 3696 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 3697 TIMERS=0xfff00980 3698 Using timer 1 3699 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 3700 3701Hit 'b': 3702 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 3703 Enabling timer 3704Hit '?': 3705 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 3706 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 3707Hit '?': 3708 [q, b, e, ?] . 3709 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 3710Hit '?': 3711 [q, b, e, ?] . 3712 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 3713Hit '?': 3714 [q, b, e, ?] . 3715 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 3716Hit 'e': 3717 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 3718Hit 'q': 3719 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 3720 3721 3722Minicom warning: 3723================ 3724 3725Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 3726"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 3752 3753 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 3754 # mkdir powerpc 3755 # ln -s powerpc machine 3756 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 3757 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 3758 3759Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 3760and U-Boot include files. 3761 3762Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 3763stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 3764proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 3765tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 3766meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 3767 3768 3769Implementation Internals: 3770========================= 3771 3772The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 3773implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 3774inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 3775hardware. 3776 3777 3778Initial Stack, Global Data: 3779--------------------------- 3780 3781The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 3782starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 3783system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 3784This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 3785is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 3786at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 3787options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 3788models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 3789MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 3790locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 3791 3792 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 3793 U-Boot mailing list: 3794 3795 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 3796 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 3797 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 3798 ... 3799 3800 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 3801 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 3802 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 3803 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 3804 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 3805 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 3806 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 3807 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 3808 3809 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 3810 is another option for the system designer to use as an 3811 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 3812 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 3813 board designers haven't used it for something that would 3814 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 3815 used. 3816 3817 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 3818 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 3819 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 3820 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 3821 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 3822 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 3823 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 3824 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 3825 you get the config right. 3826 3827 -Chris Hallinan 3828 DS4.COM, Inc. 3829 3830It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 3831code for the initialization procedures: 3832 3833* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 3834 to write it. 3835 3836* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 3837 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 3838 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 3839 3840* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 3841 that. 3842 3843Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 3844normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 3845turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 3846simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 3847functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 3848functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 3849the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 3850place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 3851reserve for this purpose. 3852 3853When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 3854relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 3855GCC's implementation. 3856 3857For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 3858 R1: stack pointer 3859 R2: reserved for system use 3860 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 3861 R5-R10: parameter passing 3862 R13: small data area pointer 3863 R30: GOT pointer 3864 R31: frame pointer 3865 3866 (U-Boot also uses R14 as internal GOT pointer.) 3867 3868 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 3869 3870 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 3871 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 3872 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 3873 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 3874 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 3875 624 text + 127 data). 3876 3877On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P5) is followed as documented here: 3878 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 3879 3880 ==> U-Boot will use P5 to hold a pointer to the global data 3881 3882On ARM, the following registers are used: 3883 3884 R0: function argument word/integer result 3885 R1-R3: function argument word 3886 R9: GOT pointer 3887 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 3888 R11: argument (frame) pointer 3889 R12: temporary workspace 3890 R13: stack pointer 3891 R14: link register 3892 R15: program counter 3893 3894 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 3895 3896NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 3897or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 3898 3899Memory Management: 3900------------------ 3901 3902U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 3903MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 3904 3905The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 3906controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 3907memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 3908physical memory banks. 3909 3910U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 3911TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 3912booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 3913to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 3914memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 3915configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 3916Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 3917 3918Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 3919of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 3920 3921So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 3922this: 3923 3924 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 3925 : 3926 0x0000 1FFF 3927 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 3928 : 3929 : 3930 3931 : 3932 : 3933 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 3934 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 3935 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 3936 : 3937 0x00FD FFFF 3938 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 3939 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 3940 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 3941 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 3942 3943 3944System Initialization: 3945---------------------- 3946 3947In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 3948(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 3949configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 3950To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 3951To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 3952initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 3953which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 3954part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 3955the caches and the SIU. 3956 3957Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 3958preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 3959(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 3960on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 3961programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 3962simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 3963banks. 3964 3965When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 3966different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 3967bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 39680x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 3969contiguous memory starting from 0. 3970 3971Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 3972and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 3973Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 3974pages, and the final stack is set up. 3975 3976Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 3977until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 3978running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 3979new address in RAM. 3980 3981 3982U-Boot Porting Guide: 3983---------------------- 3984 3985[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 3986list, October 2002] 3987 3988 3989int main (int argc, char *argv[]) 3990{ 3991 sighandler_t no_more_time; 3992 3993 signal (SIGALRM, no_more_time); 3994 alarm (PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 3995 3996 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 3997 pay consultant to port U-Boot; 3998 return 0; 3999 } 4000 4001 Download latest U-Boot source; 4002 4003 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 4004 4005 if (clueless) { 4006 email ("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 4007 } 4008 4009 while (learning) { 4010 Read the README file in the top level directory; 4011 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual ; 4012 Read the source, Luke; 4013 } 4014 4015 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) { 4016 Buy a BDI2000; 4017 } else { 4018 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 4019 } 4020 4021 Create your own board support subdirectory; 4022 4023 Create your own board config file; 4024 4025 while (!running) { 4026 do { 4027 Add / modify source code; 4028 } until (compiles); 4029 Debug; 4030 if (clueless) 4031 email ("Hi, I am having problems..."); 4032 } 4033 Send patch file to Wolfgang; 4034 4035 return 0; 4036} 4037 4038void no_more_time (int sig) 4039{ 4040 hire_a_guru(); 4041} 4042 4043 4044Coding Standards: 4045----------------- 4046 4047All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 4048coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 4049"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources 4050originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding 4051spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used. 4052 4053Source files originating from a different project (for example the 4054MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 4055reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 4056sources. 4057 4058Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 4059Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 4060in your code. 4061 4062Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 4063- remove any trailing white space 4064- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces 4065- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 4066- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files 4067- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 4068 4069Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 4070with a request to reformat the changes. 4071 4072 4073Submitting Patches: 4074------------------- 4075 4076Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 4077establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 4078may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 4079 4080Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 4081 4082Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 4083see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 4084 4085When you send a patch, please include the following information with 4086it: 4087 4088* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 4089 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 4090 patch actually fixes something. 4091 4092* For new features: a description of the feature and your 4093 implementation. 4094 4095* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 4096 4097* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 4098 4099* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 4100 board to the MAKEALL script, too. 4101 4102* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 4103 document these in the README file. 4104 4105* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 4106 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 4107 "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to 4108 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 4109 with some other mail clients. 4110 4111 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 4112 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 4113 GNU diff. 4114 4115 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 4116 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 4117 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 4118 affected files). 4119 4120 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 4121 and compressed attachments must not be used. 4122 4123* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 4124 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 4125 4126* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 4127 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 4128 4129 4130Notes: 4131 4132* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 4133 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 4134 for any of the boards. 4135 4136* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 4137 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 4138 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 4139 4140* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 4141 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 4142 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 4143 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 4144 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 4145 modification. 4146 4147* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 4148 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 4149 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 4150 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 4151
