8Summary:
9========
10
11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
38the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.
41
42Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the
43actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically
44from the Git log using:
45
46	make CHANGELOG

169
170Software Configuration:
171=======================
172
173Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
174rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
175
176There are two classes of configuration variables:
177
178* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
179  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
180  "CONFIG_".
181
182* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
183  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
184  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
185  "CONFIG_SYS_".
186
187Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
188symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
189U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
190allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
191build.
192
193
194Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
195---------------------------------------------------
196
197For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
198configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
199
200Example: For a TQM823L module type:
201
202	cd u-boot
203	make TQM823L_defconfig
204
205Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
206you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
207doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
208
209Sandbox Environment:
210--------------------
211
212U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
213board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
214specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
215run some of U-Boot's tests.
216
217See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
218
219
220Board Initialisation Flow:
221--------------------------
222
223This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
224SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
225
226Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
227more detail later in this file.
228
229At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
230and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
231may not conform to this.  At least most ARM boards which use
232CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
233
234Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
235CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
236
237	- arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
238	- arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
239	- arch/mips/cpu/start.S
240
241and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
242limitations of each of these functions are described below.
243
244lowlevel_init():
245	- purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
246	- no global_data or BSS
247	- there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
248	- must not set up SDRAM or use console
249	- must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
250		board_init_f()
251	- this is almost never needed
252	- return normally from this function
253
254board_init_f():
255	- purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
256		i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
257	- global_data is available
258	- stack is in SRAM
259	- BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
260		only stack variables and global_data
261
262	Non-SPL-specific notes:
263	- dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
264		can do nothing
265
266	SPL-specific notes:
267	- you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
268		version as needed.
269	- preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
270	- should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
271	- these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
272	- must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
273		directly)
274
275Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
276this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
277CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
278memory.
279
280board_init_r():
281	- purpose: main execution, common code
282	- global_data is available
283	- SDRAM is available
284	- BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
285	- execution eventually continues to main_loop()
286
287	Non-SPL-specific notes:
288	- U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
289		there.
290
291	SPL-specific notes:
292	- stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
293		CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
294	- preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
295		done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
296		spl_board_init() function containing this call
297	- loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
298

301Configuration Options:
302----------------------
303
304Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
305such information is kept in a configuration file
306"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
307
308Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
309"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
310
311
312Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
313kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
314build a config tool - later.
315
316- ARM Platform Bus Type(CCI):
317		CoreLink Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI) is ARM BUS which
318		provides full cache coherency between two clusters of multi-core
319		CPUs and I/O coherency for devices and I/O masters
320
321		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCI400
322
323		Defined For SoC that has cache coherent interconnect
324		CCN-400
325
326		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCN504
327
328		Defined for SoC that has cache coherent interconnect CCN-504
329
330The following options need to be configured:
331
332- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
333
334- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
335
336- Marvell Family Member
337		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
338					  multiple fs option at one time
339					  for marvell soc family
340
341- 85xx CPU Options:
342		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
343
344		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements

346		compliance, among other possible reasons.
347
348		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
349
350		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
351		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
352		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
353
354		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
355
356		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
357		tree nodes for the given platform.
358
359		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
360
361		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
362		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
363		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
364
365		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
366		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
367
368		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
369		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
370
371		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
372		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
373		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
374		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
375
376		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
377		this erratum.
378

394		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
395
396		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
397		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
398		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
399
400		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
401		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
402		connected to the DSP core.
403
404		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
405		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
406
407		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
408		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
409		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
410		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
411
412		CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
413		This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
414		time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
415
416		CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
417		Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
418		supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
419
420- Generic CPU options:

560		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
561		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
562
563- ARM options:
564		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
565
566		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
567		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
568
569		COUNTER_FREQUENCY
570		Generic timer clock source frequency.
571
572		COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
573		Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
574		different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
575		at run time.
576
577- Tegra SoC options:
578		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
579
580		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
581		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
582		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
583
584- Linux Kernel Interface:
585		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
586
587		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
588		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
589		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
590		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
591		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
592		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
593		Linux kernel.
594		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
595		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
596		default environment.
597
598		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
599
600		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
601		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
602		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
603
604		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
605
606		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
607		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
608		concepts).
609
610		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
611		 * New libfdt-based support
612		 * Adds the "fdt" command
613		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
614
615		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
616		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
617
618		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
619		addresses
620
621		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
622
623		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
624		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
625
626		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
627
628		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
629		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
630		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
631		the kernel.
632
633		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
634
635		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
636		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
637		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
638		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
639		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
640		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
641
642		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
643
644		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
645		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
646		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
647		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
648		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
649		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
650		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
651
652- vxWorks boot parameters:
653
654		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
655		environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
656		serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
657		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
658
659		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
660		the defaults discussed just above.
661
662- Cache Configuration:
663		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
664		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
665		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
666
667- Cache Configuration for ARM:
668		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
669				      controller
670		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
671					controller register space
672
673- Serial Ports:
674		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
675
676		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
677
678		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
679
680		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
681
682		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
683
684		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
685		the clock speed of the UARTs.
686
687		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
688
689		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
690		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
691		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
692
693		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
694
695		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
696		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
697
698- Console Baudrate:
699		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
700		Select one of the baudrates listed in
701		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
702
703- Autoboot Command:
704		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
705		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
706		define a command string that is automatically executed
707		when no character is read on the console interface
708		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
709
710		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
711		The value of these goes into the environment as
712		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
713		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
714		RAM and NFS.
715
716- Pre-Boot Commands:
717		CONFIG_PREBOOT
718
719		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
720		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
721		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
722		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
723		entering interactive mode.
724
725		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
726		automatically generated or modified. For an example
727		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
728		modified when the user holds down a certain
729		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
730		booting the systems
731
732- Serial Download Echo Mode:
733		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
734		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
735		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
736		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
737		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
738		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
739		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
740
741- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
742		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
743		Select one of the baudrates listed in
744		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
745
746- Removal of commands
747		If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
748		CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
749		will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
750		boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
751		instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
752		simple boot procedures.
753
754- Regular expression support:
755		CONFIG_REGEX
756		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
757		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
758		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
759		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
760
761- Device tree:
762		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
763		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
764		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
765		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
766		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
767		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
768
769		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
770		be done using one of the three options below:
771
772		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
773		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
774		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
775		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
776		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
777		the global data structure as gd->fdt_blob.
778
779		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
780		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
781		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
782		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
783
784			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
785
786		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
787		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
788		still use the individual files if you need something more
789		exotic.
790
791		CONFIG_OF_BOARD
792		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
793		provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
794		the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
795		this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
796
797- Watchdog:
798		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
799		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
800		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
801		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx
802		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
803		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
804		available, then no further board specific code should
805		be needed to use it.
806
807		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
808		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
809		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
810		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
811
812		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
813		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
814
815- Real-Time Clock:
816
817		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
818		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
819		following options:
820
821		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
822		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
823		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
824		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
825		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
826		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
827		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
828		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
829		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
830		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
831		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
832		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
833					  RV3029 RTC.
834
835		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
836		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
837
838- GPIO Support:
839		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
840
841		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
842		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
843		pins supported by a particular chip.
844
845		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
846		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
847
848- I/O tracing:
849		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
850		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
851		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
852		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
853		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
854		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
855		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
856		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
857
858		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
859		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
860		still continue to operate.
861
862			iotrace is enabled
863			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
864			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
865			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
866			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
867			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
868			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
869
870- Timestamp Support:
871
872		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
873		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
874		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
875		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
876
877- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
878		Zero or more of the following:
879		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
880		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
881		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
882				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
883				       disk/part_efi.c
884		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
885
886		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_IDE or
887		CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
888		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
889
890- IDE Reset method:
891		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
892		board configurations files but used nowhere!
893
894		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
895		be performed by calling the function
896			ide_set_reset(int reset)
897		which has to be defined in a board specific file
898
899- ATAPI Support:
900		CONFIG_ATAPI
901
902		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
903
904- LBA48 Support
905		CONFIG_LBA48
906
907		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
908		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
909		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
910		support disks up to 2.1TB.
911
912		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
913			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
914			Default is 32bit.
915
916- SCSI Support:
917		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
918		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
919		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
920		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
921		devices.
922
923		The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
924		SCSI devices found during the last scan.
925
926- NETWORK Support (PCI):
927		CONFIG_E1000
928		Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
929
930		CONFIG_E1000_SPI
931		Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
932		This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
933		of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
934
935		CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
936		Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
937		example with the "sspi" command.
938
939		CONFIG_EEPRO100
940		Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips.

997		Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet
998
999			CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA
1000			Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1001			Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1002			If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1003			wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1004			useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1005			control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1006			correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1007
1008		CONFIG_SH_ETHER

1033			Define the burst count bytes upper limit
1034
1035		CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24
1036		Support for STMicroelectronics TPM devices. Requires DM_TPM support.
1037
1038			CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24_I2C
1039			Support for STMicroelectronics ST33ZP24 I2C devices.
1040			Requires TPM_ST33ZP24 and I2C.
1041
1042			CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24_SPI

1066
1067- USB Support:
1068		At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1069		supported (PIP405, MIP405); define
1070		CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1071		define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1072		and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1073		storage devices.
1074		Note:
1075		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1076		(TEAC FD-05PUB).
1077
1078		CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the

1086		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1087		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1088		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1089		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1090		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1091		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1092		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1093		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1094		a Linux host by
1095		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1096		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1097		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1098		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1099
1100			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1101			Define this to build a UDC device
1102
1103			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1104			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1105			talk to the UDC device
1106
1107			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1108			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1109			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1110			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1111			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1112			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1113			speed.
1114
1115			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1116			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1117			be set to usbtty.
1118
1119		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1120		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1121		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1122		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1123		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1124		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1125
1126			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1127			Define this string as the name of your company for
1128			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1129
1130			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1131			Define this string as the name of your product
1132			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1133
1134			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1135			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1136			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1137			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1138			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1139
1140			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1141			Define this as the unique Product ID
1142			for your device
1143			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1144
1145- ULPI Layer Support:
1146		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1147		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1148		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1149		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1150		viewport is supported.
1151		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1152		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1153		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1154		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1155		the appropriate value in Hz.
1156
1157- MMC Support:
1158		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1159		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1160		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1161		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1162		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1163		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1164
1165		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1166		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1167
1168			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1169			Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1170
1171			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1172			Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1173
1174		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1175		Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1176
1177		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1178		Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1179		key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1180
1181- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1182		CONFIG_DFU_OVER_USB
1183		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1184
1185		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1186		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1187
1188		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1189		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1190
1191		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1192		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1193		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1194		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1195		one that would help mostly the developer.
1196
1197		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1198		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1199		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1200		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1201		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1202
1203		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1204		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1205		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1206		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1207		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1208		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1209
1210		DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1211		Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1212		host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1213		a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1214
1215		DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1216		Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1217		entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1218		sending again an USB request to the device.
1219
1220- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1221		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
1222		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1223
1224		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1225		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1226		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1227
1228- Keyboard Support:
1229		See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1230
1231		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1232
1233		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1234		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1235		defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1236		and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1237		instead.
1238
1239- Video support:
1240		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1241		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1242		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1243		support, and should also define these other macros:
1244
1245			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1246			CONFIG_VIDEO
1247			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1248			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1249			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1250			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1251			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1252
1253		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1254		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1255		boot.  See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1256		description of this variable.
1257
1258- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1259
1260		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1261		display); also select one of the supported displays
1262		by defining one of these:
1263
1264		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1265
1266			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1267
1268		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1269
1270			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1271
1272		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1273
1274			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1275			Active, color, single scan.
1276
1277		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1278
1279			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1280			Active, color, single scan.
1281
1282		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1283
1284			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1285			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1286
1287		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1288
1289			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1290			Active, color, single scan.
1291
1292		CONFIG_HLD1045
1293
1294			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1295			Active, color, single scan.
1296
1297		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1298
1299			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1300			or
1301			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1302			or
1303			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1304
1305			320x240. Black & white.
1306
1307		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1308
1309		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1310		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1311		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1312		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1313		a per-section basis.
1314
1315
1316		CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1317
1318		Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1319		mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1320		we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1321		framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1322		printed out.
1323		Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1324		initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1325		"vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1326		The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1327		fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1328		0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1329		1 = 90 degree rotation
1330		2 = 180 degree rotation
1331		3 = 270 degree rotation
1332
1333		If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1334		initialized with 0degree rotation.
1335
1336		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1337
1338		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1339
1340		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1341
1342		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1343		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1344
1345- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1346
1347		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1348		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1349		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1350		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1351		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1352		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1353		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1354		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1355
1356		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1357
1358		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1359		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1360		(see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1361		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1362		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1363		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1364		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1365		there is no need to set this option.
1366
1367		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1368
1369		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1370		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1371		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1372		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1373		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1374		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1375
1376		Example:
1377		setenv splashpos m,m
1378			=> image at center of screen
1379
1380		setenv splashpos 30,20
1381			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1382
1383		setenv splashpos -10,m
1384			=> vertically centered image
1385			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1386
1387- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1388
1389		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1390		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1391		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1392
1393- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1394
1395		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1396		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1397		bmp command.
1398
1399- Compression support:
1400		CONFIG_GZIP
1401
1402		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1403
1404		CONFIG_BZIP2
1405
1406		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1407		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1408		compressed images are supported.
1409
1410		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1411		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1412		be at least 4MB.
1413
1414- MII/PHY support:
1415		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1416
1417		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1418
1419		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1420
1421		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1422		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1423		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1424		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1425
1426		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1427
1428		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1429		command issued before MII status register can be read
1430
1431- IP address:
1432		CONFIG_IPADDR
1433
1434		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1435		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1436		determined through e.g. bootp.
1437		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
1438
1439- Server IP address:
1440		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1441
1442		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1443		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1444		(Environment variable "serverip")
1445
1446		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1447
1448		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1449		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1450
1451- Gateway IP address:
1452		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1453
1454		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1455		default router where packets to other networks are
1456		sent to.
1457		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
1458
1459- Subnet mask:
1460		CONFIG_NETMASK
1461
1462		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1463		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1464		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1465		forwarded through a router.
1466		(Environment variable "netmask")
1467
1468- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1469		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1470
1471		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1472		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1473		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1474		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1475		multicast group.
1476
1477- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1478		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1479
1480		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1481		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1482		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1483		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1484		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1485		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1486		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1487		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1488		following delays are inserted then:
1489
1490		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1491		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1492		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1493		4th and following
1494		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1495
1496		CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1497
1498		BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1499		server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1500		U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1501		an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1502		aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1503		ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1504		respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1505		takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1506		time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1507		to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1508		retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1509		IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1510		cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1511		requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1512		from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1513
1514- DHCP Advanced Options:
1515		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1516		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1517
1518		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1519		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1520		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1521		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1522		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1523		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1524		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1525
1526		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1527		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1528
1529		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1530		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1531		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
1532		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1533		is not available.
1534
1535		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1536		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1537		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1538		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1539		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1540		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1541
1542		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1543
1544		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1545		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1546		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1547		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1548		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1549		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1550		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1551		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1552		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1553		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1554		this delay.
1555
1556 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1557		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1558		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1559		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1560		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1561
1562		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1563
1564 - MAC address from environment variables
1565
1566		FDT_SEQ_MACADDR_FROM_ENV
1567
1568		Fix-up device tree with MAC addresses fetched sequentially from
1569		environment variables. This config work on assumption that
1570		non-usable ethernet node of device-tree are either not present
1571		or their status has been marked as "disabled".
1572
1573 - CDP Options:
1574		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1575
1576		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1577
1578		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1579
1580		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1581		of the device.
1582
1583		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1584
1585		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1586		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1587		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1588
1589		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1590
1591		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1592		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1593
1594		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1595
1596		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1597
1598		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1599
1600		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1601
1602		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1603
1604		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1605
1606		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1607
1608		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1609		device in .1 of milliwatts.
1610
1611		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1612
1613		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1614
1615- Status LED:	CONFIG_LED_STATUS
1616
1617		Several configurations allow to display the current
1618		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1619		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1620		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1621		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1622		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1623		kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
1624		feature in U-Boot.
1625
1626		Additional options:
1627
1628		CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1629		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1630		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
1631		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1632		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
1633
1634		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1635		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1636		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1637		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1638		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
1639		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
1640
1641- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
1642
1643		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
1644		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
1645		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
1646		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
1647		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
1648		interface.

1781
1782		additional defines:
1783
1784		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
1785		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
1786
1787		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
1788		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
1789		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
1790		omit this define.
1791
1792		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
1793		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
1794		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
1795		define.
1796
1797		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
1798		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
1799		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
1800		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
1801		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
1802
1803		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
1804					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
1805					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
1806					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
1807					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
1808					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
1809					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
1810					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
1811					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
1812					}
1813
1814		which defines
1815			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
1816			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
1817			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
1818			bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
1819			bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
1820			bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
1821			bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
1822			bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
1823			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
1824
1825		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
1826
1827- Legacy I2C Support:
1828		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
1829		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1830		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
1831
1832		I2C_INIT
1833
1834		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
1835		controller or configure ports.
1836
1837		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
1838
1839		I2C_ACTIVE
1840
1841		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1842		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
1843		define can be null.
1844
1845		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
1846
1847		I2C_TRISTATE
1848
1849		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1850		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
1851		define can be null.
1852
1853		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1854
1855		I2C_READ
1856
1857		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
1858		false if it is low.
1859
1860		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1861
1862		I2C_SDA(bit)
1863
1864		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1865		is false, it clears it (low).
1866
1867		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
1868			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
1869			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
1870
1871		I2C_SCL(bit)
1872
1873		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1874		is false, it clears it (low).
1875
1876		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
1877			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
1878			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
1879
1880		I2C_DELAY
1881
1882		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1883		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
1884		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
1885		like:
1886
1887		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
1888
1889		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1890
1891		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1892		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1893		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1894		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1895
1896		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1897		the generic GPIO functions.
1898
1899		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
1900
1901		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1902		chips might think that the current transfer is still
1903		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1904		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1905		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1906		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1907		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1908		is run early in the boot sequence.
1909
1910		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1911
1912		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1913		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
1914		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1915		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1916
1917		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
1918
1919		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
1920		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1921		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
1922		a 1D array of device addresses
1923
1924		e.g.
1925			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1926			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
1927
1928		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1929
1930			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1931			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
1932
1933		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1934
1935		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
1936
1937		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1938		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1939
1940		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
1941
1942		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1943		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1944
1945		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1946
1947		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1948		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1949		between writing the address pointer and reading the
1950		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1951		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
1952		devices can use either method, but some require one or
1953		the other.
1954
1955- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
1956
1957		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
1958		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
1959		D/As on the SACSng board)
1960
1961		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
1962
1963		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
1964		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1965		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1966		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1967		defined, the board configuration must define several
1968		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1969		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
1970
1971		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
1972
1973		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
1974		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
1975		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
1976		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
1977		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
1978
1979		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
1980		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
1981		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
1982
1983- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
1984
1985		Enables FPGA subsystem.
1986
1987		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
1988
1989		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
1990		(ALTERA, XILINX)
1991
1992		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
1993
1994		Enables support for FPGA family.
1995		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
1996
1997		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
1998
1999		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2000
2001		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2002
2003		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2004
2005		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2006
2007		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2008		status by the configuration function. This option
2009		will require a board or device specific function to
2010		be written.
2011
2012		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2013
2014		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2015		configuration driver.
2016
2017		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2018		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2019
2020		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2021
2022		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2023		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2024		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2025		indicated a CRC error).
2026
2027		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2028
2029		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2030		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2031		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2032		ms.
2033
2034		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2035
2036		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2037		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2038
2039		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2040
2041		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2042		200 ms.
2043
2044- Configuration Management:
2045		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2046
2047		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2048		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2049		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2050		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2051		make / buildman.
2052
2053		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2054
2055		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2056		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2057
2058- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2059
2060		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2061		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2062		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2063		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2064		protects these variables from casual modification by
2065		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2066		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2067		change this behaviour:
2068
2069		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2070		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2071		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2072		these parameters.
2073
2074		Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2075		default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2076		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2077		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2078		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2079		read-only.]
2080
2081		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2082		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2083		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2084		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2085
2086- Protected RAM:
2087		CONFIG_PRAM
2088
2089		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2090		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2091		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2092		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2093		this default value by defining an environment
2094		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2095		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2096		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2097		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2098		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2099		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2100		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2101
2102			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2103			saveenv
2104
2105		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2106		either, which results in a memory region that will
2107		not be affected by reboots.
2108
2109		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2110		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2111		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2112		following board configurations are known to be
2113		"pRAM-clean":
2114
2115			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx,
2116			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2117			FLAGADM
2118
2119- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2120		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2121		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2122		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2123		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2124		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2125		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2126
2127- Error Recovery:
2128		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2129
2130		This variable defines the number of retries for
2131		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2132		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2133		default value of 5 is used.
2134
2135		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2136
2137		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2138
2139		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2140
2141		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2142		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2143		try longer timeout such as
2144		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2145
2146- Command Interpreter:
2147		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2148
2149		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2150		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2151		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2152
2153	Note:
2154
2155		In the current implementation, the local variables
2156		space and global environment variables space are
2157		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2158		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2159		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2160		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2161		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2162
2163		Global environment variables are those you use
2164		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2165		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2166		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2167
2168		To store commands and special characters in a
2169		variable, please use double quotation marks
2170		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2171		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2172		symbols.
2173
2174- Command Line Editing and History:
2175		CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2176
2177		Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2178		at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2179		The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2180		and PS2.
2181
2182- Default Environment:
2183		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2184
2185		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2186		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2187		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2188
2189		For example, place something like this in your
2190		board's config file:
2191
2192		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2193			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2194			"myvar2=value2\0"
2195
2196		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2197		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2198		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2199		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2200		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2201		You better know what you are doing here.
2202
2203		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2204		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2205		the environment like the "source" command or the
2206		boot command first.
2207
2208		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2209
2210		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2211		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2212		that so that the environment is not available until
2213		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2214		this is instead controlled by the value of
2215		/config/load-environment.
2216
2217- Serial Flash support
2218		Usage requires an initial 'sf probe' to define the serial
2219		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2220		commands.
2221
2222		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2223		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2224		flash is present on the system.
2225
2226		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2227		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2228		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2229		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2230
2231
2232- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2233		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2234
2235		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2236		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2237		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2238		number generator is used.
2239
2240		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2241		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2242		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2243
2244		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2245		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2246		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2247		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2248		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2249		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2250		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2251
2252- Show boot progress:
2253		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2254
2255		Defining this option allows to add some board-
2256		specific code (calling a user-provided function
2257		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2258		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2259		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2260		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2261

2415
2416- legacy image format:
2417		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
2418		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
2419
2420		Default:
2421		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
2422
2423		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
2424		disable the legacy image format
2425
2426		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
2427		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
2428
2429- Standalone program support:
2430		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2431
2432		This option defines a board specific value for the
2433		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2434		overwriting the architecture dependent default
2435		settings.
2436
2437- Frame Buffer Address:
2438		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2439
2440		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
2441		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
2442		when using a graphics controller has separate video
2443		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2444		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2445		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2446		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2447		configured panel size.
2448
2449		Please see board_init_f function.
2450
2451- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
2452		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
2453		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
2454		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
2455
2456		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
2457		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
2458
2459- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
2460		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
2461
2462		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
2463		Needed for mtdparts command support.
2464
2465		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
2466
2467		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
2468		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
2469
2470- UBI support
2471		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
2472		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
2473		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
2474		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
2475		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
2476		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
2477
2478		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
2479		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
2480		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
2481		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
2482		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
2483
2484		default: 4096
2485
2486		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
2487		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
2488		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
2489		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
2490		flash), this value is ignored.
2491
2492		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
2493		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
2494		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
2495		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
2496		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
2497		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
2498
2499		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
2500		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
2501		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
2502		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
2503		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
2504		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
2505		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
2506		partition.
2507
2508		default: 20
2509
2510		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
2511		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
2512		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
2513		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
2514		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
2515		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
2516		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
2517		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
2518		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
2519		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
2520		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
2521		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
2522
2523		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
2524		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
2525		without a fastmap.
2526		default: 0
2527
2528		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
2529		Enable UBI fastmap debug
2530		default: 0
2531
2532- SPL framework
2533		CONFIG_SPL
2534		Enable building of SPL globally.
2535
2536		CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
2537		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
2538
2539		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
2540		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
2541		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
2542		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
2543		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
2544		must not be both defined at the same time.
2545
2546		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
2547		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
2548		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
2549		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
2550		not exceed it.
2551
2552		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
2553		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
2554
2555		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
2556		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
2557		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
2558
2559		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
2560		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
2561
2562		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
2563		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
2564		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
2565		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
2566		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
2567		must not be both defined at the same time.
2568
2569		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
2570		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
2571
2572		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
2573		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
2574		loaded does not have a signature.
2575		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
2576		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
2577		will be caught.
2578		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
2579		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
2580		and thus should be skipped silently.
2581
2582		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
2583		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
2584		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
2585		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
2586
2587		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
2588		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
2589		When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
2590		it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
2591		can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
2592
2593		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
2594		The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
2595
2596		CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
2597		Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
2598		See also: doc/README.falcon
2599
2600		CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
2601		For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
2602		about the running system.
2603
2604		CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
2605		Arch init code should be built for a very small image
2606
2607		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
2608		Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
2609		used in raw mode
2610
2611		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
2612		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
2613		used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
2614
2615		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
2616		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
2617		Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
2618		parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
2619		(for falcon mode)
2620
2621		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
2622		Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
2623		used in fs mode
2624
2625		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
2626		Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
2627
2628		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
2629		Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
2630		from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
2631
2632		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
2633		Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
2634		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
2635
2636		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
2637		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
2638		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
2639		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
2640		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
2641
2642		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
2643		Avoid SPL relocation
2644
2645		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
2646		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires
2647		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
2648
2649		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
2650		SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
2651
2652		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
2653		Include standard software ECC in the SPL
2654
2655		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
2656		Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
2657		expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
2658
2659		CONFIG_SPL_UBI
2660		Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
2661		loader
2662
2663		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
2664		Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
2665		if you need to save space.
2666
2667		CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
2668		Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
2669		SPL binary.
2670
2671		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
2672		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
2673		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
2674		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
2675		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
2676		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
2677		to read U-Boot
2678
2679		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
2680		Add support NAND boot
2681
2682		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
2683		Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
2684
2685		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
2686		Location in memory to load U-Boot to
2687
2688		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
2689		Size of image to load
2690
2691		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
2692		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
2693
2694		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
2695		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
2696		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
2697
2698		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
2699		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
2700
2701		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
2702		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
2703		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
2704		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
2705		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
2706		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
2707
2708		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
2709		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
2710		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
2711		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
2712
2713		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
2714		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
2715		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
2716		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
2717		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
2718
2719- TPL framework
2720		CONFIG_TPL
2721		Enable building of TPL globally.
2722
2723		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
2724		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
2725		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
2726		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
2727		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
2728		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
2729
2730- Interrupt support (PPC):
2731
2732		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2733		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
2734		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
2735		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
2736		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
2737		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
2738		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
2739		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2740		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2741		general timer_interrupt().
2742
2743
2744Board initialization settings:
2745------------------------------
2746
2747During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
2748to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
2749before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
2750following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
2751architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
2752typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
2753
2754- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
2755- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
2756- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
2757- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
2758
2759Configuration Settings:
2760-----------------------
2761
2762- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
2763		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
2764
2765- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
2766		undefine this when you're short of memory.
2767
2768- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
2769		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
2770
2771- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
2772		prompt for user input.
2773
2774- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
2775
2776- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
2777
2778- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
2779
2780- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
2781		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
2782		booted
2783
2784- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
2785		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
2786
2787- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
2788		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
2789		simple memory test.
2790
2791- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
2792		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
2793		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
2794
2795- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
2796		Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
2797		If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
2798		is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
2799		This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
2800		gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
2801		the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
2802		this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
2803
2804- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
2805		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
2806		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
2807		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
2808		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2809		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2810		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
2811		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
2812		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
2813		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
2814
2815		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2816		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2817		be touched.
2818
2819		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2820		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2821		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
2822		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
2823		problems.
2824
2825- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
2826		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
2827
2828- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
2829		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
2830
2831- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
2832		Physical start address of Flash memory.
2833
2834- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
2835		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
2836		make config files to be same as the text base address
2837		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
2838		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
2839
2840- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
2841		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
2842		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
2843		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
2844		flash sector.
2845
2846- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
2847		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
2848
2849- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
2850		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
2851		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
2852		will become available before relocation. The address is just
2853		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
2854		space.
2855
2856		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
2857		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
2858		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
2859		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
2860		U-Boot relocates itself.
2861
2862- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
2863		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
2864		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
2865		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
2866
2867- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
2868		Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
2869		typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
2870		uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
2871		otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
2872		some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
2873		cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
2874		are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
2875		cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
2876		if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
2877		size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
2878		one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
2879		written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
2880		happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
2881		buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
2882		16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
2883
2884		Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
2885
2886- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
2887		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
2888		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
2889		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
2890		to adjust this setting to your needs.
2891
2892- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
2893		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
2894		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
2895		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
2896		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
2897		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
2898		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
2899		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
2900		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
2901		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
2902		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
2903
2904- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
2905		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
2906		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
2907		is enabled.
2908
2909- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
2910		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
2911		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2912
2913- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
2914		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
2915		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
2916
2917- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
2918		Max number of Flash memory banks
2919
2920- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
2921		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
2922
2923- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
2924		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
2925
2926- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
2927		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
2928
2929- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
2930		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
2931
2932- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
2933		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
2934
2935- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
2936		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
2937		instead of U-Boot software protection.
2938
2939- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
2940
2941		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2942		without this option such a download has to be
2943		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2944		copy from RAM to flash.
2945
2946		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2947		you can check if the download worked before you erase
2948		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2949		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
2950		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
2951
2952- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
2953		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
2954		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
2955
2956- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
2957		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
2958		in the drivers directory
2959
2960- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
2961		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
2962		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
2963		to the MTD layer.
2964
2965- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
2966		Use buffered writes to flash.
2967
2968- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
2969		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
2970		write commands.
2971
2972- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
2973		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
2974		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
2975		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
2976		optionally available.
2977
2978- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
2979		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
2980		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
2981		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
2982
2983- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
2984		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
2985		against the source after the write operation. An error message
2986		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
2987		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
2988		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
2989		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
2990		this option if you really know what you are doing.
2991
2992- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
2993		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
2994		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
2995		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
2996		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
2997		on high Ethernet traffic.
2998		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
2999
3000- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3001
3002	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3003	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3004	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3005	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3006	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3007
3008- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3009- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3010	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3011	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3012	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3013	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3014
3015	The format of the list is:
3016		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3017		access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3018		attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3019		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3020		list = entry[,list]
3021
3022	The type attributes are:
3023		s - String (default)
3024		d - Decimal
3025		x - Hexadecimal
3026		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3027		i - IP address
3028		m - MAC address
3029
3030	The access attributes are:
3031		a - Any (default)
3032		r - Read-only
3033		o - Write-once
3034		c - Change-default
3035
3036	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3037		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3038		environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3039
3040	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3041		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3042		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3043		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
3044		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3045		".flags" variable.
3046
3047	If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3048	regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3049	flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3050
3051- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3052	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3053	access flags.
3054
3055- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3056	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3057	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3058	building U-Boot to enable this.
3059
3060The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3061of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3062following configurations:
3063
3064- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3065
3066	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3067	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3068
3069BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3070in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3071console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3072U-Boot will hang.
3073
3074Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3075environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3076keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3077to save the current settings.
3078
3079BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3080"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3081environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3082but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3083
3084- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3085
3086	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3087	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3088	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3089
3090Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
3091has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
3092created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use env_get_f()
3093until then to read environment variables.
3094
3095The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3096is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3097with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3098necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3099"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3100have any device yet where we could complain.]
3101
3102Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3103the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
3104use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
3105
3106- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
3107		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
3108
3109		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
3110		      also needs to be defined.
3111
3112- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
3113		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
3114
3115- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3116		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3117		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3118		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
3119		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3120		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3121
3122- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3123		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3124		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3125		to do this.
3126
3127- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3128		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3129		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3130		present.
3131
3132- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
3133		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
3134		build system checks that the actual size does not
3135		exceed it.
3136
3137Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
3138---------------------------------------------------
3139
3140- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
3141		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
3142
3143- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
3144		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
3145		PowerPC SOCs.
3146
3147- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
3148		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
3149		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
3150
3151- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
3152		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
3153		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
3154		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
3155		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
3156		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
3157		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
3158
3159		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
3160			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
3161
3162- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
3163		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
3164		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
3165		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3166		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3167
3168- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
3169		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
3170		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
3171		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
3172
3173- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
3174		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
3175		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
3176
3177- Floppy Disk Support:
3178		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
3179
3180		the default drive number (default value 0)
3181
3182		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
3183
3184		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
3185		(default value 1)
3186
3187		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
3188
3189		defines the offset of register from address. It
3190		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
3191		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
3192
3193		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
3194		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
3195		default value.
3196
3197		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
3198		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
3199		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
3200		source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
3201		initializations.
3202
3203- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
3204		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
3205		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
3206		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
3207		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
3208		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
3209		is required.
3210
3211- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
3212		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
3213		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx systems only]
3214
3215- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
3216
3217		Start address of memory area that can be used for
3218		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
3219		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
3220		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
3221		will become available only after programming the
3222		memory controller and running certain initialization
3223		sequences.
3224
3225		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
3226		- MPC8xx: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
3227
3228- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
3229
3230		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
3231		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
3232		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
3233		data is located at the end of the available space
3234		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
3235		GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
3236		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
3237		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
3238
3239	Note:
3240		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
3241		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
3242		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
3243		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
3244		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
3245
3246- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR:	System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27)
3247
3248- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM:
3249		SDRAM timing
3250
3251- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA:
3252		periodic timer for refresh
3253
3254- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM,
3255  CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP,
3256  CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM,
3257  CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM:
3258		Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH)
3259
3260- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE,
3261  CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM,
3262  CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM:
3263		Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM)
3264
3265- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
3266		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
3267		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
3268		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
3269		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
3270		by coreboot or similar.
3271
3272- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
3273		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
3274
3275- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
3276		Chip has SRIO or not
3277
3278- CONFIG_SRIO1:
3279		Board has SRIO 1 port available
3280
3281- CONFIG_SRIO2:
3282		Board has SRIO 2 port available
3283
3284- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
3285		Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
3286
3287- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT:
3288		Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
3289
3290- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
3291		Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
3292
3293- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
3294		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
3295
3296- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
3297		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
3298		a 16 bit bus.
3299		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
3300		Example of drivers that use it:
3301		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
3302		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
3303
3304- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
3305		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
3306		a default value will be used.
3307
3308- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
3309		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
3310		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
3311
3312  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
3313		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
3314
3315- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
3316		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
3317		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
3318		to something your driver can deal with.
3319
3320- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
3321		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
3322		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
3323		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
3324		header files or board specific files.
3325
3326- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
3327		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
3328
3329- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
3330		Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
3331
3332- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
3333		Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
3334
3335- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
3336		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
3337		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
3338
3339- CONFIG_RMII
3340		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
3341		Note that this is a global option, we can't
3342		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
3343
3344- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
3345		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
3346		The syntax is:
3347
3348		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
3349
3350		Where address/count indicate a memory area
3351		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
3352		area should have.
3353
3354- CONFIG_LOOPW
3355		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
3356		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY).
3357
3358- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
3359		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
3360		"md/mw" commands.
3361		Examples:
3362
3363		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
3364		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
3365
3366		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
3367		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
3368
3369		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
3370		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY).
3371
3372- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
3373		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS, RISC-V only] If this variable is defined, then certain
3374		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
3375		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
3376		relocate itself into RAM.
3377
3378		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
3379		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
3380		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
3381		these initializations itself.
3382
3383- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
3384		[ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
3385		to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
3386		instruction cache) is still performed.
3387
3388- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
3389		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
3390		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
3391		compiling a NAND SPL.
3392
3393- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
3394		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
3395		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
3396		It is loaded by the SPL.
3397
3398- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
3399		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
3400		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
3401		previous 4k of the .text section.
3402
3403- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
3404		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
3405		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
3406		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
3407		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
3408		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
3409		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
3410		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
3411
3412- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
3413		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
3414		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
3415
3416- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
3417		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
3418		driver that uses this:
3419		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
3420
3421Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
3422-----------------------------------
3423
3424The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
3425loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
3426This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3427are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3428within that device.
3429
3430- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
3431	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
3432	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3433	is also specified.
3434
3435- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
3436	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
3437	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
3438	is also specified.
3439
3440- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
3441	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
3442	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
3443	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
3444	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
3445
3446- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
3447	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
3448	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
3449	virtual address in NOR flash.
3450
3451- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
3452	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
3453	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
3454
3455- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
3456	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
3457	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
3458
3459- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
3460	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
3461	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
3462	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
3463	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
3464	master's memory space.
3465
3466Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
3467---------------------------------------------------------
3468The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
3469"firmware".
3470This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
3471are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
3472within that device.
3473
3474- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
3475	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
3476
3477Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
3478-------------------------------------------
3479The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
3480"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
3481This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
3482
3483- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
3484	Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
3485
3486Reproducible builds
3487-------------------
3488
3489In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
3490process have to be set to a fixed value.
3491
3492This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
3493SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
3494option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
3495
3496SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
3497
3498Building the Software:
3499======================
3500
3501Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
3502and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
3503all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
3504(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
3505recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
3506which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
3507
3508If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
3509have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
3510you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
3511Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
3512necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
3513
3514	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
3515	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
3516
3517Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
3518      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
3519      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
3520      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
3521
3522       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
3523
3524      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
3525      be executed on computers running Windows.
3526
3527U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
3528sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
3529is done by typing:
3530
3531	make NAME_defconfig
3532
3533where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
3534rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
3535
3536Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
3537      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
3538      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
3539      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
3540      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
3541
3542      make TQM823L_defconfig
3543	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
3544
3545      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
3546	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
3547
3548      etc.
3549
3550
3551Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
3552images ready for download to / installation on your system:
3553
3554- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3555- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3556- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
3557
3558By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3559in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3560this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3561
35621. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3563
3564	make O=/tmp/build distclean
3565	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
3566	make O=/tmp/build all
3567
35682. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
3569
3570	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
3571	make distclean
3572	make NAME_defconfig
3573	make all
3574
3575Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
3576variable.
3577
3578User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by
3579setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS.
3580For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors:
3581
3582	make KCFLAGS=-Werror
3583
3584Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3585for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3586native "make".
3587
3588
3589If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3590to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3591steps:
3592
35931.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3594    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3595    the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
35962.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3597    your board.
35983.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3599    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
36004.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
36015.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3602    to be installed on your target system.
36036.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3604    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
3605
3606
3607Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
3608==============================================================
3609
3610If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3611or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
3612provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3613the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
3614official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
3615
3616But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3617cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
3618the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3619just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
3620configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
3621will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
3622for documentation.

3677Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
3678========================================
3679
3680TODO.
3681
3682For now: just type "help <command>".
3683
3684
3685Environment Variables:
3686======================
3687
3688U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3689can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
3690
3691Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3692"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3693without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3694environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3695working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3696environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
3697
3698Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
3699
3700List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
3701
3702  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
3703
3704  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
3705
3706  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
3707
3708  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
3709
3710  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
3711
3712  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3713		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3714		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3715		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3716		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3717		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
3718		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
3719		  bootm_mapsize.
3720
3721  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
3722		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
3723		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
3724		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
3725		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
3726		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
3727		  used otherwise.
3728
3729  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3730		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3731		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3732		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3733		  environment variable.
3734
3735  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3736		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3737		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
3738
3739  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3740		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3741		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3742		  load any image using TFTP
3743
3744  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3745		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3746		  be automatically started (by internally calling
3747		  "bootm")
3748
3749		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3750		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3751		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3752		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3753		  data.
3754
3755  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
3756		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
3757		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
3758		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
3759		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
3760		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
3761		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
3762		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
3763		  access it during the boot procedure.
3764
3765		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
3766		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
3767		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
3768		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
3769		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
3770		  must be accessible by the kernel.
3771
3772  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
3773		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
3774		  defined.
3775
3776  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3777		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3778		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3779		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3780		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
3781
3782  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
3783		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3784		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3785		  is usually what you want since it allows for
3786		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3787		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
3788		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
3789		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3790		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3791		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3792		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
3793
3794		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3795		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3796		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3797		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3798		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3799		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
3800
3801		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
3802
3803		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3804		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3805		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3806		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3807		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3808		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
3809		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
3810
3811  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
3812
3813  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
3814		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
3815
3816  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
3817
3818  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
3819
3820  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
3821
3822  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
3823
3824  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
3825
3826  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
3827
3828  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
3829		  For example you can do the following
3830
3831		  => setenv ethact FEC
3832		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
3833		  => setenv ethact SCC
3834		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
3835
3836  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3837		  available network interfaces.
3838		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3839
3840  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
3841		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
3842		  When set to "once" the network operation will
3843		  fail when all the available network interfaces
3844		  are tried once without success.
3845		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3846		  themselves.
3847
3848  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
3849
3850  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
3851		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
3852		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
3853		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
3854		  is silent.
3855
3856  tftpsrcp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
3857		  UDP source port.
3858
3859  tftpdstp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
3860		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
3861
3862  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
3863		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
3864
3865  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
3866		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
3867		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
3868		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
3869		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
3870		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
3871		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
3872
3873  tftptimeoutcountmax	- maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
3874		  unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
3875		  can happen during a single file transfer before that
3876		  transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
3877		  'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
3878		  downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
3879		  unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
3880
3881  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
3882		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
3883		  VLAN tagged frames.
3884
3885  bootpretryperiod	- Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
3886		  Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
3887		  be either the default (28000), or a value based on
3888		  CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
3889		  precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
3890
3891The following image location variables contain the location of images
3892used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
3893not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
3894variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
3895server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
3896loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
3897flash or offset in NAND flash.
3898
3899*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
3900boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
3901boards use these variables for other purposes.
3902
3903Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
3904-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
3905u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
3906Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
3907device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
3908ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
3909
3910The following environment variables may be used and automatically
3911updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
3912depending the information provided by your boot server:
3913
3914  bootfile	- see above
3915  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
3916  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
3917  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
3918  hostname	- Target hostname
3919  ipaddr	- see above
3920  netmask	- Subnet Mask
3921  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
3922  serverip	- see above
3923
3924
3925There are two special Environment Variables:
3926
3927  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
3928		  as type string and/or serial number
3929  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
3930
3931These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3932the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3933once they have been set once.
3934
3935
3936Further special Environment Variables:
3937
3938  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3939		  with the "version" command. This variable is
3940		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
3941
3942
3943Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
3944only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
3945
3946
3947Callback functions for environment variables:
3948---------------------------------------------
3949
3950For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
3951when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
3952be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
3953deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
3954effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
3955
3956The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
3957U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
3958
3959These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
3960static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
3961in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
3962associations.  The list must be in the following format:
3963
3964	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
3965	list = entry[,list]
3966
3967If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
3968Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
3969
3970Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
3971with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
3972override any association in the static list. You can define
3973CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
3974".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3975
3976If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3977regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
3978the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
3979
3980
3981Command Line Parsing:
3982=====================
3983
3984There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3985the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
3986
3987Old, simple command line parser:
3988--------------------------------
3989
3990- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3991- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
3992- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
3993- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3994  for example:
3995	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
3996- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3997	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
3998
3999Hush shell:
4000-----------
4001
4002- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4003  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4004  until...do...done, ...
4005- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4006  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4007  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4008  command
4009
4010General rules:
4011--------------
4012
4013(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4014    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4015    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4016    executed anyway.
4017
4018(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
4019    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
4020    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4021    variables are not executed.
4022
4023Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4024=======================================
4025
4026Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
4027such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4028"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
4029
4030Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4031MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4032"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
4033
4034If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4035in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4036ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4037variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
4038
4039o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4040  environment, the SROM's address is used.
4041
4042o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4043  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4044  used.
4045
4046o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4047  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
4048
4049o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4050  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4051  warning is printed.
4052
4053o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4054  is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
4055  a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
4056
4057If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
4058will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
4059may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4060The naming convention is as follows:
4061"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
4062
4063Image Formats:
4064==============
4065
4066U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4067images in two formats:
4068
4069New uImage format (FIT)
4070-----------------------
4071
4072Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4073to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4074components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4075SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4076
4077
4078Old uImage format
4079-----------------
4080
4081Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4082preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4083details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
4084
4085* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
4086  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
4087  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
4088  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
4089  INTEGRITY).
4090* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86,
4091  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
4092  Currently supported: ARM, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
4093* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
4094* Load Address
4095* Entry Point
4096* Image Name
4097* Image Timestamp
4098
4099The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
4100and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
4101CRC32 checksums.
4102
4103
4104Linux Support:
4105==============
4106
4107Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4108easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4109U-Boot.
4110
4111U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4112special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4113"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4114instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4115serves several purposes:
4116
4117- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4118  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4119  Flash memory footprint)
4120
4121- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4122  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
4123
4124- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4125  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4126  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4127  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4128  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4129  software is easier now.
4130
4131
4132Linux HOWTO:
4133============
4134
4135Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4136---------------------------------------
4137
4138U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4139configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4140(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4141Linux :-).
4142
4143But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
4144
4145Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4146include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
4147Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4148and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
4149as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
4150
4151Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
4152If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
4153is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
4154doc/driver-model.
4155
4156
4157Configuring the Linux kernel:
4158-----------------------------
4159
4160No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4161device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4162
4163
4164Building a Linux Image:
4165-----------------------
4166
4167With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4168not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4169"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4170U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4171which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4172100% compatible format.
4173
4174Example:
4175
4176	make TQM850L_defconfig
4177	make oldconfig
4178	make dep
4179	make uImage
4180
4181The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4182encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
4183CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4184
4185* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4186
4187* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4188
4189	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4190				 -R .note -R .comment \
4191				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4192
4193* compress the binary image:
4194
4195	gzip -9 linux.bin
4196
4197* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4198
4199	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4200		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4201		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
4202
4203
4204The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4205with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4206combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4207byte header containing information about target architecture,
4208operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4209stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4210
4211"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4212print the header information, or to build new images.
4213
4214In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4215contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4216checksum verification:
4217
4218	tools/mkimage -l image
4219	  -l ==> list image header information
4220
4221The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4222from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4223
4224	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4225		      -n name -d data_file image
4226	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4227	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4228	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4229	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4230	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4231	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4232	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4233	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4234
4235Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4236address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4237kernel version:
4238
4239- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4240- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4241
4242So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4243
4244	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4245	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
4246	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
4247	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
4248	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4249	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4250	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4251	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4252	Load Address: 0x00000000
4253	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4254
4255To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4256
4257	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
4258	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4259	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4260	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4261	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4262	Load Address: 0x00000000
4263	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4264
4265NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4266speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4267needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4268need to be uncompressed:
4269
4270	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
4271	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4272	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
4273	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
4274	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
4275	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4276	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4277	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
4278	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
4279	Load Address: 0x00000000
4280	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4281
4282
4283Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
4284when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
4285
4286	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
4287	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
4288	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
4289	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
4290	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
4291	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
4292	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
4293	Load Address: 0x00000000
4294	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4295
4296The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
4297option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
4298option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
4299from the image:
4300
4301	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
4302	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
4303	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4304	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
4305
4306
4307Installing a Linux Image:
4308-------------------------
4309
4310To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
4311you must convert the image to S-Record format:
4312
4313	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
4314
4315The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
4316image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
4317address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
4318specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
4319command.
4320
4321Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
4322TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
4323
4324	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
4325
4326	.......... done
4327	Erased 8 sectors
4328
4329	=> loads 40100000
4330	## Ready for S-Record download ...
4331	~>examples/image.srec
4332	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
4333	...
4334	15989 15990 15991 15992
4335	[file transfer complete]
4336	[connected]
4337	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
4338
4339
4340You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
4341this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
4342corruption happened:
4343
4344	=> imi 40100000
4345
4346	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
4347	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
4348	   Image Type:	 PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4349	   Data Size:	 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
4350	   Load Address: 00000000
4351	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
4352	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
4353
4354
4355Boot Linux:
4356-----------
4357
4358The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
4359memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
4360of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
4361parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
4362"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
4363
4364
4365	=> printenv bootargs
4366	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
4367
4368	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
4369
4370	=> printenv bootargs
4371	bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
4372
4373	=> bootm 40020000
4374	## Booting Linux kernel at 40020000 ...

4388
4389If you want to boot a Linux kernel with initial RAM disk, you pass
4390the memory addresses of both the kernel and the initrd image (PPBCOOT
4391format!) to the "bootm" command:
4392
4393	=> imi 40100000 40200000

4441First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section

4487More About U-Boot Image Types:
4488------------------------------
4489
4490U-Boot supports the following image types:
4491
4492   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
4493	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
4494	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
4495	the Standalone Program.
4496   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
4497	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
4498	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
4499	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
4500	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
4501   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
4502	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
4503	being started.
4504   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
4505	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
4506	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
4507	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
4508	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
4509	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
4510
4511	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
4512	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
4513	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
4514	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
4515	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
4516	a multiple of 4 bytes).
4517
4518   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
4519	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
4520	flash memory.
4521
4522   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
4523	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
4524	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
4525	as command interpreter.
4526
4527Booting the Linux zImage:
4528-------------------------
4529
4530On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
4531using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
4532as the syntax of "bootm" command.
4533
4534Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
4535kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
4536address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
4537format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
4538
4539
4540Standalone HOWTO:
4541=================
4542
4543One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
4544run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
4545U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
4546
4547Two simple examples are included with the sources:
4548
4549"Hello World" Demo:
4550-------------------
4551
4552'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
4553application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
4554It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
4555like that:
4556
4557	=> loads
4558	## Ready for S-Record download ...
4559	~>examples/hello_world.srec
4560	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
4561	[file transfer complete]
4562	[connected]
4563	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
4564
4565	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
4566	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
4567	Hello World
4568	argc = 7
4569	argv[0] = "40004"
4570	argv[1] = "Hello"
4571	argv[2] = "World!"
4572	argv[3] = "This"
4573	argv[4] = "is"
4574	argv[5] = "a"
4575	argv[6] = "test."
4576	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
4577	Hit any key to exit ...
4578
4579	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
4580
4581Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
4582handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
4583Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
4584The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
4585character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
4586controlled by the following keys:
4587
4588	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
4589	b - enable interrupts and start timer
4590	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
4591	q - quit application
4592
4593	=> loads

4628Minicom warning:
4629================
4630
4631Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
4632"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
4633consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
4634Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
4635especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
4636use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
4637http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
4638for help with kermit.
4639
4640
4641Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
4642configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
4643
4644	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
4645	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N
4646	Y  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r	 N    D	   Y	   N	  N

4649NetBSD Notes:
4650=============
4651
4652Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
4653(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
4654
4655Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
4656NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
4657need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
4658Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
4659attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
4660missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
4661
4662	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
4663	# mkdir powerpc
4664	# ln -s powerpc machine
4665	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4666	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
4667
4668Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4669and U-Boot include files.
4670
4671Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4672stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4673proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4674tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
4675meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
4676
4677
4678Implementation Internals:
4679=========================
4680
4681The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4682implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4683inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4684hardware.
4685
4686
4687Initial Stack, Global Data:
4688---------------------------
4689
4690The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4691starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4692system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4693This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4694is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4695at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4696options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4697models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4698MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4699locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
4700
4701	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
4702	U-Boot mailing list:
4703
4704	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
4705	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
4706	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
4707	...
4708
4709	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4710	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4711	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4712	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4713	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
4714	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
4715	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4716	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
4717
4718	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4719	is another option for the system designer to use as an
4720	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
4721	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4722	board designers haven't used it for something that would
4723	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4724	used.
4725
4726	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
4727	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4728	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
4729	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
4730	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4731	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4732	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4733	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4734	you get the config right.

4738
4739It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4740code for the initialization procedures:
4741
4742* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4743  to write it.
4744
4745* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
4746  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4747  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
4748
4749* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4750  that.
4751
4752Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
4753normal global data to share information between the code. But it
4754turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4755simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4756functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4757functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4758the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4759place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4760reserve for this purpose.
4761
4762When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4763relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
4764GCC's implementation.
4765
4766For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4767	R1:	stack pointer
4768	R2:	reserved for system use
4769	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
4770	R5-R10: parameter passing
4771	R13:	small data area pointer
4772	R30:	GOT pointer
4773	R31:	frame pointer
4774
4775	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4776	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4777	going back and forth between asm and C)
4778
4779    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
4780
4781    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4782    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4783    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4784    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4785    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4786    624 text + 127 data).
4787
4788On ARM, the following registers are used:
4789
4790	R0:	function argument word/integer result
4791	R1-R3:	function argument word
4792	R9:	platform specific
4793	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
4794	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
4795	R12:	temporary workspace
4796	R13:	stack pointer
4797	R14:	link register
4798	R15:	program counter
4799
4800    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
4801
4802    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
4803
4804On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
4805	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
4806
4807    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
4808
4809    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
4810    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
4811
4812On NDS32, the following registers are used:
4813
4814	R0-R1:	argument/return
4815	R2-R5:	argument
4816	R15:	temporary register for assembler
4817	R16:	trampoline register
4818	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
4819	R29:	global pointer (GP)
4820	R30:	link register (LP)
4821	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
4822	PC:	program counter (PC)
4823
4824    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
4825
4826NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
4827or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
4828
4829On RISC-V, the following registers are used:
4830
4831	x0: hard-wired zero (zero)
4832	x1: return address (ra)
4833	x2:	stack pointer (sp)
4834	x3:	global pointer (gp)
4835	x4:	thread pointer (tp)
4836	x5:	link register (t0)
4837	x8:	frame pointer (fp)
4838	x10-x11:	arguments/return values (a0-1)
4839	x12-x17:	arguments (a2-7)
4840	x28-31:	 temporaries (t3-6)
4841	pc:	program counter (pc)
4842
4843    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
4844
4845Memory Management:
4846------------------
4847
4848U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4849MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
4850
4851The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4852controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4853memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4854physical memory banks.
4855
4856U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4857TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4858booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4859to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
4860memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
4861configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4862Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
4863
4864Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4865of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
4866
4867So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4868this:
4869
4870	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
4871	      :
4872	0x0000 1FFF
4873	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
4874	      :
4875	      :
4876
4877	      :
4878	      :
4879	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
4880	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
4881	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
4882	      :
4883	0x00FD FFFF
4884	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
4885	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
4886	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
4887	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
4888
4889
4890System Initialization:
4891----------------------
4892
4893In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
4894(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
4895configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
4896To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
4897To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
4898initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
4899which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data
4900cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and
4901the SIU.
4902
4903Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
4904preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
4905(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
4906on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
4907programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4908simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4909banks.
4910
4911When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4912different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4913bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
49140x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4915contiguous memory starting from 0.
4916
4917Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4918and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4919Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4920pages, and the final stack is set up.
4921
4922Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4923until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4924running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4925new address in RAM.

5002Coding Standards:
5003-----------------
5004
5005All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
5006coding style; see the kernel coding style guide at
5007https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html, and the
5008script "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
5009
5010Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5011MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5012reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5013sources.
5014
5015Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5016Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5017in your code.
5018
5019Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5020- remove any trailing white space
5021- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
5022- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
5023- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
5024- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5025
5026Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5027with a request to reformat the changes.
5028
5029
5030Submitting Patches:
5031-------------------
5032
5033Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5034establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5035may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
5036
5037Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
5038
5039Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5040see https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot
5041
5042When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5043it:
5044
5045* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5046  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5047  patch actually fixes something.
5048
5049* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5050  implementation.
5051
5052* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5053
5054* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
5055  information and associated file and directory references.
5056
5057* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5058  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
5059
5060* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5061  document these in the README file.
5062
5063* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5064  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
5065  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
5066  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5067  with some other mail clients.
5068
5069  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5070  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5071  GNU diff.
5072
5073  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5074  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5075  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5076  affected files).
5077
5078  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5079  and compressed attachments must not be used.
5080
5081* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5082  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5083
5084* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5085  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5086
5087
5088Notes:
5089
5090* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
5091  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5092  for any of the boards.
5093
5094* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5095  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5096  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
5097
5098* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5099  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5100  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5101  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5102  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5103  modification.
5104
5105* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5106  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5107  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5108  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
