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

225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235  "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
240  "CONFIG_SYS_".
241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257	cd u-boot
258	make TQM823L_defconfig
259
260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
263
264
265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.
272
273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
274
275
276Board Initialisation Flow:
277--------------------------
278
279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL
281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each
282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this.
283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
284
285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after
286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below.
287
288lowlevel_init():
289	- purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
290	- no global_data or BSS
291	- there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
292	- must not set up SDRAM or use console
293	- must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
294		board_init_f()
295	- this is almost never needed
296	- return normally from this function
297
298board_init_f():
299	- purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
300		i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
301	- global_data is available
302	- stack is in SRAM
303	- BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
304		only stack variables and global_data
305
306	Non-SPL-specific notes:
307	- dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
308		can do nothing
309
310	SPL-specific notes:
311	- you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
312		version as needed.
313	- preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
314	- should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
315	- these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
316	- must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
317		directly)
318
319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
322memory.
323
324board_init_r():
325	- purpose: main execution, common code
326	- global_data is available
327	- SDRAM is available
328	- BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
329	- execution eventually continues to main_loop()
330
331	Non-SPL-specific notes:
332	- U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
333		there.
334
335	SPL-specific notes:
336	- stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
337		CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
338	- preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
339		done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
340		spl_board_init() function containing this call
341	- loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
342
343
344
345Configuration Options:
346----------------------
347
348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
349such information is kept in a configuration file
350"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
351
352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
353"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
354
355
356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
358build a config tool - later.
359
360
361The following options need to be configured:
362
363- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
364
365- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
366
367- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
368		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
369
370- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
371		Define exactly one of
372		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
373--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
374		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
375		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
376
377- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
378		Define exactly one of
379		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
380
381- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
382		Define one or more of
383		CONFIG_CMA302
384
385- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
386		Define one or more of
387		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
388					  the LCD display every second with
389					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
390
391- Marvell Family Member
392		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
393					  multiple fs option at one time
394					  for marvell soc family
395
396- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
397		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
398					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
399					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
400					  reference PIT/RTC clock
401		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
402					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
403
404- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
405		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
406		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
407		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
408			See doc/README.MPC866
409
410		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
411
412		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
413		of relying on the correctness of the configured
414		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
415		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
416		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
417		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
418
419		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
420
421		Define this option if you want to enable the
422		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
423
424- 85xx CPU Options:
425		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
426
427		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
428		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
429		compliance, among other possible reasons.
430
431		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
432
433		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
434		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
435		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
436
437		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
438
439		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
440		tree nodes for the given platform.
441
442		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
443
444		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
445		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
446		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
447		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
448		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
449		purpose.
450
451		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
452
453		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
454		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
455		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
456
457		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
458		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
459
460		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
461		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
462
463		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
464		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
465		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
466		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
467
468		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
469		this erratum.
470
471		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
472		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
473		required during NOR boot.
474
475		CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
476		Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
477		required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
478
479		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
480
481		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
482		according to the A004510 workaround.
483
484		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
485		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
486		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
487
488		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
489		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
490		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
491
492		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
493		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
494		connected to the DSP core.
495
496		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
497		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
498
499		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
500		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
501		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
502		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
503
504		CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
505		This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
506		time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
507
508		CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
509		Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
510		supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
511
512- Generic CPU options:
513		CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
514		Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
515		If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
516		generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
517		should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
518
519		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
520
521		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
522		values is arch specific.
523

634- MIPS CPU options:
635		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
636
637		Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
638		pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before

665
666- ARM options:
667		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
668
669		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
670		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
671
672		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
673
674		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
675		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
676		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
677		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
678		GCC.
679
680		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
681		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
682		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
683		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
684		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
685		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
686
687		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
688		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
689		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
690		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
691		set these options unless they apply!
692
693		NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
694		do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
695		specific checks, but expect no product checks.
696		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
697		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
698		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
699		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
700
701- Tegra SoC options:
702		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
703
704		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
705		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
706		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
707
708- Linux Kernel Interface:
709		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
710
711		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
712		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
713		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
714		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
715		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
716		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
717		Linux kernel.
718		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
719		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
720		default environment.
721
722		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
723
724		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
725		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
726		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
727
728		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
729
730		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
731		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
732		concepts).
733
734		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
735		 * New libfdt-based support
736		 * Adds the "fdt" command
737		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
738
739		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
740			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
741		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
742			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
743		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
744		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
745
746		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
747		addresses
748
749		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
750
751		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
752		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
753
754		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
755
756		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
757		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
758		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
759		the kernel.
760
761		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
762
763		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
764		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
765
766		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
767
768		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
769		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
770		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
771		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
772		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
773		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
774
775		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
776
777		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
778		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
779		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
780		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
781		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
782		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
783		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
784
785- vxWorks boot parameters:
786
787		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
788		environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
789		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
790
791		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
792		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
793		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
794		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
795
796		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
797
798		Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
799
800		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
801		the defaults discussed just above.
802
803- Cache Configuration:
804		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
805		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
806		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
807
808- Cache Configuration for ARM:
809		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
810				      controller
811		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
812					controller register space
813
814- Serial Ports:
815		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
816
817		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
818
819		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
820
821		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
822
823		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
824
825		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
826		the clock speed of the UARTs.
827
828		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
829
830		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
831		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
832		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
833
834		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
835
836		Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
837		have separate receive and transmit line control registers.  Set
838		this variable to initialize the extra register.
839
840		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
841
842		On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
843		boot loader that has already initialized the UART.  Define this
844		variable to flush the UART at init time.
845
846		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
847
848		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
849		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
850
851- Console Interface:
852		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
853		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
854		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
855		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
856
857		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
858		port routines must be defined elsewhere
859		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
860
861		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
862		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
863		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
864			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
865						(default big endian)
866			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
867						rectangle fill
868						(cf. smiLynxEM)
869			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
870						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
871			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
872						(cols=pitch)
873			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
874			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
875			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
876						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
877			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
878			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
879						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
880			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
881						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
882			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
883						(i.e. i8042_getc)
884			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
885						(requires blink timer
886						cf. i8042.c)
887			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
888			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
889						upper right corner
890						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
891			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
892						upper left corner
893			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
894						linux_logo.h for logo.
895						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
896			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
897						additional board info beside
898						the logo
899
900		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
901		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
902		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
903
904		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
905		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
906		environment 'console=serial'.
907
908		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
909		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
910		the "silent" environment variable. See
911		doc/README.silent for more information.
912
913		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
914			is 0x00.
915		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
916			is 0xa0.
917
918- Console Baudrate:
919		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
920		Select one of the baudrates listed in
921		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
922		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
923
924- Console Rx buffer length
925		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
926		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
927		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
928		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
929		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
930		the SMC.
931
932- Pre-Console Buffer:
933		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
934		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
935		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
936		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
937		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
938		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
939		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
940		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
941		earlier bytes are discarded.
942
943		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
944		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
945
946- Safe printf() functions
947		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
948		the printf() functions. These are defined in
949		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
950		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
951		If this option is not given then these functions will
952		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
953		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
954
955- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
956		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
957		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
958		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
959		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
960
961		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
962		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
963		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
964		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
965		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
966		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
967		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
968		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
969		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
970		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
971		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
972		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
973
974- Autoboot Command:
975		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
976		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
977		define a command string that is automatically executed
978		when no character is read on the console interface
979		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
980
981		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
982		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
983		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
984		environment value "bootargs".
985
986		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
987		The value of these goes into the environment as
988		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
989		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
990		RAM and NFS.
991
992- Bootcount:
993		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
994		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
995		cycle, see:
996		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
997
998		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
999		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1000		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1001		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1002		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1003		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1004		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1005		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1006		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1007
1008- Pre-Boot Commands:
1009		CONFIG_PREBOOT
1010
1011		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1012		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1013		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1014		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1015		entering interactive mode.
1016
1017		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1018		automatically generated or modified. For an example
1019		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1020		modified when the user holds down a certain
1021		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1022		booting the systems
1023
1024- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1025		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1026		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1027		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1028		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1029		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1030		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1031		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1032
1033- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
1034		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1035		Select one of the baudrates listed in
1036		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
1037
1038- Monitor Functions:
1039		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1040		from the build by using the #include files
1041		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1042		commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
1043		and augmenting with additional #define's
1044		for wanted commands.
1045
1046		The default command configuration includes all commands
1047		except those marked below with a "*".
1048
1049		CONFIG_CMD_AES		  AES 128 CBC encrypt/decrypt
1050		CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV	* ask for env variable
1051		CONFIG_CMD_BDI		  bdinfo
1052		CONFIG_CMD_BEDBUG	* Include BedBug Debugger
1053		CONFIG_CMD_BMP		* BMP support
1054		CONFIG_CMD_BSP		* Board specific commands

1157		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1158		support you can write:
1159
1160		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1161		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1162
1163	Other Commands:
1164		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1165
1166	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1167		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1168		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1169		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1170		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1171		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1172		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1173		initial stack and some data.
1174
1175
1176		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1177
1178- Regular expression support:
1179		CONFIG_REGEX
1180		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1181		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1182		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1183		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1184
1185- Device tree:
1186		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1187		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1188		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1189		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1190		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1191		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1192
1193		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1194		be done using one of the two options below:
1195
1196		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1197		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1198		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1199		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1200		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1201		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1202
1203		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1204		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1205		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1206		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1207
1208			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1209
1210		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1211		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1212		still use the individual files if you need something more
1213		exotic.
1214
1215- Watchdog:
1216		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1217		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1218		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1219		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1220		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1221		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1222		available, then no further board specific code should
1223		be needed to use it.
1224
1225		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1226		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1227		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1228		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1229
1230		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1231		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1232
1233- U-Boot Version:
1234		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1235		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1236		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1237		version as printed by the "version" command.
1238		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1239		next reset.
1240
1241- Real-Time Clock:
1242
1243		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1244		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1245		following options:
1246
1247		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1248		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1249		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1250		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1251		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1252		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1253		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1254		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1255		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1256		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1257		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1258		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1259		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1260					  RV3029 RTC.
1261
1262		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1263		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1264
1265- GPIO Support:
1266		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1267
1268		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1269		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1270		pins supported by a particular chip.
1271
1272		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1273		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1274
1275- I/O tracing:
1276		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1277		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1278		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1279		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1280		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1281		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1282		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1283		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1284
1285		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1286		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1287		still continue to operate.
1288
1289			iotrace is enabled
1290			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1291			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1292			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
1293			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
1294			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
1295			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
1296
1297- Timestamp Support:
1298
1299		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1300		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1301		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1302		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1303
1304- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1305		Zero or more of the following:
1306		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1307		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1308				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1309		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.

1312				       disk/part_efi.c
1313		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1314
1315		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1316		CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1317		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1318
1319- IDE Reset method:
1320		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1321		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1322
1323		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1324		be performed by calling the function
1325			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1326		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1327
1328- ATAPI Support:
1329		CONFIG_ATAPI
1330
1331		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1332
1333- LBA48 Support
1334		CONFIG_LBA48
1335
1336		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1337		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1338		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1339		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1340
1341		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1342			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1343			Default is 32bit.
1344
1345- SCSI Support:
1346		At the moment only there is only support for the
1347		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1348		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1349
1350		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1351		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1352		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1353		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1354		devices.
1355		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1356

1524		Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
1525		Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
1526
1527- USB Support:
1528		At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1529		supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
1530		CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1531		define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1532		and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1533		storage devices.
1534		Note:
1535		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1536		(TEAC FD-05PUB).
1537		MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1538			CONFIG_USB_CLOCK
1539				for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1540			CONFIG_PSC3_USB
1541				for USB on PSC3
1542			CONFIG_USB_CONFIG
1543				for differential drivers: 0x00001000
1544				for single ended drivers: 0x00005000
1545				for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100
1546				for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100
1547			CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
1548				May be defined to allow interrupt polling
1549				instead of using asynchronous interrupts
1550
1551		CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1552		txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1553
1554		CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1555		HW module registers.
1556
1557- USB Device:
1558		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1559		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1560		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1561		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1562		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1563		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1564		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1565		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1566		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1567		a Linux host by
1568		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1569		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1570		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1571		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1572
1573			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1574			Define this to build a UDC device
1575
1576			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1577			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1578			talk to the UDC device
1579
1580			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1581			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1582			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1583			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1584			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1585			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1586			speed.
1587
1588			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1589			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1590			be set to usbtty.
1591
1592			mpc8xx:
1593				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1594				Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1595				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1596
1597				CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1598				Derive USB clock from brgclk
1599				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1600
1601		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1602		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1603		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1604		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1605		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1606		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1607
1608			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1609			Define this string as the name of your company for
1610			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1611
1612			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1613			Define this string as the name of your product
1614			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1615
1616			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1617			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1618			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1619			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1620			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1621
1622			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1623			Define this as the unique Product ID
1624			for your device
1625			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1626
1627- ULPI Layer Support:
1628		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1629		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1630		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1631		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1632		viewport is supported.
1633		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1634		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1635		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1636		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1637		the appropriate value in Hz.
1638
1639- MMC Support:
1640		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1641		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1642		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1643		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1644		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1645		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1646
1647		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1648		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1649
1650			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1651			Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1652
1653			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1654			Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1655
1656		CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC
1657		Enable the generic MMC driver
1658
1659		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1660		Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1661
1662		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1663		Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1664		key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1665
1666- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1667		CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1668		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1669
1670		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1671		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1672		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1673		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1674		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1675
1676		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1677		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1678
1679		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1680		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1681
1682		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1683		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1684		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1685		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1686		one that would help mostly the developer.
1687
1688		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1689		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1690		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1691		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1692		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1693
1694		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1695		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1696		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1697		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1698		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1699		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1700
1701		DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1702		Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1703		host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1704		a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1705
1706		DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1707		Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1708		entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1709		sending again an USB request to the device.
1710
1711- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1712		CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1713		This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1714		fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1715		protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1716		used on Android devices.
1717		See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1718
1719		CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1720		This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1721		image format header.
1722
1723		CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1724		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1725		downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1726		downloaded images.
1727
1728		CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1729		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1730		downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1731		platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1732
1733		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1734		The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1735		the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1736		this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1737
1738		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1739		The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1740		regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1741		the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1742
1743		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1744		The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1745		image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1746		Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1747		to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1748		This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1749		"fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1750		Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1751
1752- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1753		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1754		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1755		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1756
1757		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1758		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1759		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1760
1761		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1762		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1763		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1764
1765		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1766		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1767		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1768		have not defined a custom partition
1769
1770- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1771		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1772
1773		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1774		file in FAT formatted partition.
1775
1776		This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1777		user to write files to FAT.
1778
1779CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1780		CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1781
1782		Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1783		filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1784		and cbfsload.
1785
1786- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1787		CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1788
1789		Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1790		a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1791
1792- Keyboard Support:
1793		CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
1794
1795		Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1796		support
1797
1798		CONFIG_I8042_KBD
1799		Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1800		GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1801		Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1802		for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1803
1804		CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB
1805		Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface.
1806		This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller
1807		which provides key scans on request.
1808
1809- Video support:
1810		CONFIG_VIDEO
1811
1812		Define this to enable video support (for output to
1813		video).
1814
1815		CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1816
1817		Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1818
1819		CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1820		Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1821		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1822		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1823		assumed.
1824
1825		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1826		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1827		are possible:
1828		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1829		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1830
1831		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1832		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1833		      8 bits |	0x301*	0x303	 0x305	  0x161	    0x307
1834		     15 bits |	0x310	0x313	 0x316	  0x162	    0x319
1835		     16 bits |	0x311	0x314	 0x317	  0x163	    0x31A
1836		     24 bits |	0x312	0x315	 0x318	    ?	    0x31B
1837		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1838		(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1839
1840		- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1841		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1842
1843
1844		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1845		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1846		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1847		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1848
1849		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1850		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1851		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1852		support, and should also define these other macros:
1853
1854			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1855			CONFIG_VIDEO
1856			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1857			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1858			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1859			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1860			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1861			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1862
1863		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1864		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1865		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1866		description of this variable.
1867
1868		CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA
1869
1870		Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you
1871		are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer
1872		driver.
1873
1874
1875- Keyboard Support:
1876		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1877
1878		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1879		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1880		defined in your board-specific files.
1881		The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1882
1883- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1884
1885		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1886		display); also select one of the supported displays
1887		by defining one of these:
1888
1889		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1890
1891			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1892
1893		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1894
1895			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1896
1897		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1898
1899			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1900			Active, color, single scan.
1901
1902		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1903
1904			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1905			Active, color, single scan.
1906
1907		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1908
1909			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1910			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1911
1912		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1913
1914			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1915			Active, color, single scan.
1916
1917		CONFIG_HLD1045
1918
1919			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1920			Active, color, single scan.
1921
1922		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1923
1924			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1925			or
1926			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1927			or
1928			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1929
1930			320x240. Black & white.
1931
1932		Normally display is black on white background; define
1933		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1934
1935		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1936
1937		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1938		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1939		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1940		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1941		a per-section basis.
1942
1943		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1944
1945		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1946		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1947		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1948		is slow.
1949
1950		CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1951
1952		Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1953		mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1954		we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1955		framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1956		printed out.
1957		Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1958		initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1959		"vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1960		The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1961		fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1962		0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1963		1 = 90 degree rotation
1964		2 = 180 degree rotation
1965		3 = 270 degree rotation
1966
1967		If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1968		initialized with 0degree rotation.
1969
1970		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1971
1972		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1973
1974		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1975
1976		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1977		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1978
1979- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1980
1981		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1982		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1983		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1984		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1985		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1986		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1987		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1988		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1989
1990		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1991
1992		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1993		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1994		(see README.displaying-bmps).
1995		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1996		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1997		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1998		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1999		there is no need to set this option.
2000
2001		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2002
2003		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2004		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2005		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2006		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2007		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2008		specify 'm' for centering the image.
2009
2010		Example:
2011		setenv splashpos m,m
2012			=> image at center of screen
2013
2014		setenv splashpos 30,20
2015			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
2016
2017		setenv splashpos -10,m
2018			=> vertically centered image

2020
2021- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2022
2023		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2024		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2025		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2026
2027- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2028
2029		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2030		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2031		bmp command.
2032
2033- Do compressing for memory range:
2034		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2035
2036		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2037		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2038
2039- Compression support:
2040		CONFIG_GZIP
2041
2042		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2043
2044		CONFIG_BZIP2
2045
2046		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2047		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2048		compressed images are supported.
2049
2050		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
2051		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
2052		be at least 4MB.
2053
2054		CONFIG_LZMA
2055
2056		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2057		images is included.
2058
2059		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2060		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2061		formula:
2062
2063			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2064
2065		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2066		and Literal pos bits.
2067
2068		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2069		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2070		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2071		a very small buffer.
2072
2073		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2074		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
2075		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
2076
2077		CONFIG_LZO
2078
2079		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2080		is included.
2081
2082- MII/PHY support:
2083		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2084
2085		The address of PHY on MII bus.
2086
2087		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2088
2089		The clock frequency of the MII bus
2090
2091		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2092
2093		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
2094		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
2095
2096		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2097
2098		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2099		reset before any MII register access is possible.
2100		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2101		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2102
2103		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2104
2105		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2106		command issued before MII status register can be read
2107
2108- Ethernet address:
2109		CONFIG_ETHADDR
2110		CONFIG_ETH1ADDR
2111		CONFIG_ETH2ADDR
2112		CONFIG_ETH3ADDR
2113		CONFIG_ETH4ADDR
2114		CONFIG_ETH5ADDR
2115
2116		Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
2117		for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
2118		is not determined automatically.
2119
2120- IP address:
2121		CONFIG_IPADDR
2122
2123		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
2124		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
2125		determined through e.g. bootp.
2126		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
2127
2128- Server IP address:
2129		CONFIG_SERVERIP
2130
2131		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
2132		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
2133		(Environment variable "serverip")
2134
2135		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2136
2137		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2138		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2139
2140- Gateway IP address:
2141		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2142
2143		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2144		default router where packets to other networks are
2145		sent to.
2146		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
2147
2148- Subnet mask:
2149		CONFIG_NETMASK
2150
2151		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2152		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2153		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2154		forwarded through a router.
2155		(Environment variable "netmask")
2156
2157- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2158		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2159
2160		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2161		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
2162		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
2163		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2164		multicast group.
2165
2166- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2167		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2168
2169		If you have many targets in a network that try to
2170		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2171		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2172		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2173		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2174		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2175		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2176		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2177		following delays are inserted then:
2178
2179		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
2180		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
2181		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
2182		4th and following
2183		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
2184
2185		CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2186
2187		BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2188		server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2189		U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2190		an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2191		aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2192		ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2193		respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2194		takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2195		time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2196		to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2197		retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2198		IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2199		cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2200		requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2201		from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2202
2203- DHCP Advanced Options:
2204		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2205		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2206
2207		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2208		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2209		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2210		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2211		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2212		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2213		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2214		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2215		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2216		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2217		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2218		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2219		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2220
2221		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2222		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2223
2224		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2225		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2226		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
2227		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2228		is not available.
2229
2230		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2231		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2232		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2233		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2234		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2235		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2236		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2237		is defined.
2238
2239		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2240		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2241		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2242		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2243		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2244		option 12 to the DHCP server.
2245
2246		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2247
2248		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2249		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2250		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2251		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2252		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2253		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2254		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2255		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2256		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2257		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2258		this delay.
2259
2260 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2261		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2262		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2263		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2264		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2265
2266		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2267
2268 - CDP Options:
2269		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2270
2271		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2272
2273		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2274
2275		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2276		of the device.
2277
2278		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2279
2280		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2281		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2282		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2283
2284		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2285
2286		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2287		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2288
2289		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2290
2291		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2292
2293		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2294
2295		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2296
2297		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2298
2299		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2300
2301		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2302
2303		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2304		device in .1 of milliwatts.
2305
2306		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2307
2308		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2309
2310- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2311
2312		Several configurations allow to display the current
2313		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2314		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2315		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2316		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2317		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2318		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2319		feature in U-Boot.
2320
2321		Additional options:
2322
2323		CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2324		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2325		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2326		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2327		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2328
2329		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2330		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2331		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2332		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2333		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2334		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2335
2336- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2337
2338		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2339		on those systems that support this (optional)
2340		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2341
2342- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2343
2344		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2345		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2346		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2347		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2348		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2349		interface.
2350

2371		    bus.
2372		  - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
2373		    CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset

2469
2470		additional defines:
2471
2472		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2473		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you
2474		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2475		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2476		omit this define.
2477
2478		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2479		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2480		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2481		omit this define.
2482
2483		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2484		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2485		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2486		define.
2487
2488		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2489		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2490		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2491		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2492		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2493
2494		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2495					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2496					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2497					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2498					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2499					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2500					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2501					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2502					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2503					}
2504
2505		which defines
2506			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2507			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2508			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2509			bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2510			bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2511			bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2512			bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2513			bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2514			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2515
2516		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2517
2518- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2519
2520		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2521		provides the following compelling advantages:
2522
2523		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2524		- approved multibus support
2525		- better i2c mux support
2526
2527		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2528
2529		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2530		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2531		for the selected CPU.
2532
2533		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2534		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2535		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2536		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2537		command line interface.
2538
2539		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2540
2541		There are several other quantities that must also be
2542		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2543
2544		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2545		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2546		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2547		the CPU's i2c node address).
2548
2549		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2550		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2551		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2552		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2553		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2554
2555		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2556
2557		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2558		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2559		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2560		commands until the slave device responds.
2561
2562		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2563
2564		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2565		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2566		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2567
2568		I2C_INIT
2569
2570		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2571		controller or configure ports.
2572
2573		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2574
2575		I2C_PORT
2576
2577		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2578		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2579		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2580
2581		I2C_ACTIVE
2582
2583		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2584		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2585		define can be null.
2586
2587		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2588
2589		I2C_TRISTATE
2590
2591		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2592		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2593		define can be null.
2594
2595		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2596
2597		I2C_READ
2598
2599		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2600		false if it is low.
2601
2602		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2603
2604		I2C_SDA(bit)
2605
2606		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2607		is false, it clears it (low).
2608
2609		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2610			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2611			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2612
2613		I2C_SCL(bit)
2614
2615		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2616		is false, it clears it (low).
2617
2618		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2619			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2620			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2621
2622		I2C_DELAY
2623
2624		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2625		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2626		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2627		like:
2628
2629		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2630
2631		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2632
2633		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2634		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2635		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2636		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2637
2638		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2639		the generic GPIO functions.
2640
2641		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2642
2643		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2644		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2645		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2646		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2647		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2648		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2649		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2650		is run early in the boot sequence.
2651
2652		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2653
2654		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2655		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2656		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2657		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2658		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2659		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2660		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2661		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2662
2663		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2664
2665		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2666		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2667		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2668
2669		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2670
2671		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2672		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2673		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2674		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2675
2676		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2677
2678		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2679		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2680		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2681		a 1D array of device addresses
2682
2683		e.g.
2684			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2685			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2686
2687		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2688
2689			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2690			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2691
2692		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2693
2694		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2695
2696		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2697		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2698
2699		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2700
2701		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2702		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2703
2704		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2705
2706		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2707		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2708
2709		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2710
2711		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2712		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2713		specified DTT device.
2714
2715		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2716
2717		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2718		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2719		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2720		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2721		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2722		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2723		the other.
2724
2725- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2726
2727		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2728		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2729		D/As on the SACSng board)
2730
2731		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2732
2733		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2734		only SH7757 is supported.
2735
2736		CONFIG_SPI_X
2737
2738		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2739		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2740
2741		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2742
2743		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2744		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2745		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2746		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2747		defined, the board configuration must define several
2748		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2749		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2750
2751		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2752
2753		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2754		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2755		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2756		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2757		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2758
2759		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2760
2761		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2762		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2763
2764		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2765		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2766		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2767
2768- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2769
2770		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2771
2772		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2773
2774		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2775		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2776
2777		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2778
2779		Enables support for FPGA family.
2780		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2781
2782		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2783
2784		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2785
2786		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2787
2788		Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2789
2790		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2791
2792		Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2793
2794		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2795
2796		Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2797		(Xilinx only)
2798
2799		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2800
2801		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2802
2803		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2804
2805		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2806		status by the configuration function. This option
2807		will require a board or device specific function to
2808		be written.
2809
2810		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2811
2812		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2813		configuration driver.
2814
2815		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2816		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2817
2818		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2819
2820		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2821		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2822		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2823		indicated a CRC error).
2824
2825		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2826
2827		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2828		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2829		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2830		ms.
2831
2832		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2833
2834		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2835		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2836
2837		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2838
2839		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2840		200 ms.
2841
2842- Configuration Management:
2843		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2844
2845		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2846		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2847		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2848		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2849		make / MAKEALL.
2850
2851		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2852
2853		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2854		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2855
2856- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2857
2858		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2859		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2860		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2861		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2862		protects these variables from casual modification by
2863		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2864		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2865		change this behaviour:
2866
2867		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2868		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2869		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2870		these parameters.
2871
2872		Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2873		_and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2874		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2875		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2876		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2877		read-only.]
2878
2879		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2880		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2881		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2882		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2883
2884- Protected RAM:
2885		CONFIG_PRAM
2886
2887		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2888		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2889		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2890		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2891		this default value by defining an environment
2892		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2893		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2894		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2895		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2896		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2897		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2898		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2899
2900			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2901			saveenv
2902
2903		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2904		either, which results in a memory region that will
2905		not be affected by reboots.
2906
2907		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2908		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2909		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2910		following board configurations are known to be
2911		"pRAM-clean":
2912
2913			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2914			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2915			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2916
2917- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2918		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2919		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2920		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2921		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2922		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2923		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2924
2925- Error Recovery:
2926		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2927
2928		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2929		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2930		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2931		system where you want the system to reboot
2932		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2933		useful during development since you can try to debug
2934		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2935
2936		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2937
2938		This variable defines the number of retries for
2939		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2940		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2941		default value of 5 is used.
2942
2943		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2944
2945		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2946
2947		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2948
2949		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2950		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2951		try longer timeout such as
2952		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2953
2954- Command Interpreter:
2955		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2956
2957		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2958
2959		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2960
2961		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2962		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2963		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2964
2965	Note:
2966
2967		In the current implementation, the local variables
2968		space and global environment variables space are
2969		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2970		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2971		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2972		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2973		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2974
2975		Global environment variables are those you use
2976		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2977		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2978		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2979
2980		To store commands and special characters in a
2981		variable, please use double quotation marks
2982		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2983		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2984		symbols.
2985
2986- Command Line Editing and History:
2987		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2988
2989		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2990		command line input operations
2991
2992- Default Environment:
2993		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2994
2995		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2996		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2997		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2998
2999		For example, place something like this in your
3000		board's config file:
3001
3002		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
3003			"myvar1=value1\0" \
3004			"myvar2=value2\0"
3005
3006		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
3007		internal format how the environment is stored by the
3008		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3009		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
3010		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
3011		You better know what you are doing here.
3012
3013		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3014		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
3015		the environment like the "source" command or the
3016		boot command first.
3017
3018		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3019
3020		Define this in order to add variables describing the
3021		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3022		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3023
3024		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3025
3026		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3027		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3028		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3029		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3030		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3031
3032		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3033
3034		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3035		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3036		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3037
3038		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3039
3040		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
3041		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
3042		that so that the environment is not available until
3043		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3044		this is instead controlled by the value of
3045		/config/load-environment.
3046
3047- DataFlash Support:
3048		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3049
3050		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3051		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3052		commands cp, md...
3053
3054- Serial Flash support
3055		CONFIG_CMD_SF
3056
3057		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3058		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3059
3060		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3061		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3062		commands.
3063
3064		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3065		to handle the common case when only a single serial
3066		flash is present on the system.
3067
3068		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
3069		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
3070		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
3071		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
3072
3073		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3074
3075		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3076		test ('sf test').
3077
3078		CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR		Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3079
3080		Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3081		support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3082
3083		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
3084
3085		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3086		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
3087		Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
3088
3089		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3090		enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3091		register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3092		The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3093		the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3094		device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3095		and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3096		nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3097		operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3098		hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3099
3100- SystemACE Support:
3101		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3102
3103		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3104		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
3105		of the chip must also be defined in the
3106		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3107
3108		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3109		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3110
3111		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3112		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3113
3114- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3115		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3116
3117		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3118		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3119		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3120		number generator is used.
3121
3122		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3123		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
3124		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3125
3126		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3127		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3128		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3129		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3130		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3131		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3132		but sometimes that is not allowed.
3133
3134- Hashing support:
3135		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3136
3137		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3138		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3139
3140		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3141
3142		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3143		size a little.
3144
3145		CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3146		algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3147		CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3148		SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3149		CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3150		for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3151		This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3152		hash_lookup_algo() function.
3153		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3154		hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3155		Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3156		is performed in hardware.
3157
3158		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3159		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3160
3161- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3162		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3163		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3164		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3165
3166		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3167		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3168		a boot from specific media.
3169
3170		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3171		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3172		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3173		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
3174		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3175
3176- Signing support:
3177		CONFIG_RSA
3178
3179		This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
3180		in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
3181
3182		The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3183		driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3184		library to function.
3185
3186		The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3187		option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3188		mkimage irrespective of this option.
3189
3190- bootcount support:
3191		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3192
3193		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3194		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3195
3196		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3197		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3198		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3199		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3200		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3201		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3202		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3203		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3204		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3205		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3206			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3207			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3208						    the bootcounter.
3209			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3210
3211- Show boot progress:
3212		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3213
3214		Defining this option allows to add some board-
3215		specific code (calling a user-provided function
3216		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3217		the system's boot progress on some display (for
3218		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3219		the following checkpoints are implemented:
3220
3221

3374
3375- legacy image format:
3376		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3377		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3378
3379		Default:
3380		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3381
3382		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3383		disable the legacy image format
3384
3385		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3386		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3387
3388- FIT image support:
3389		CONFIG_FIT
3390		Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3391
3392		CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3393		When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3394		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3395		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3396		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3397		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3398
3399		CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3400		This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3401		using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If
3402		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive
3403		hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it.
3404		See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3405
3406		WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3407		signature check the legacy image format is default
3408		disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3409		enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3410
3411		CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3412		Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3413		For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3414		with this option.
3415
3416- Standalone program support:
3417		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3418
3419		This option defines a board specific value for the
3420		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3421		overwriting the architecture dependent default
3422		settings.
3423
3424- Frame Buffer Address:
3425		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3426
3427		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3428		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3429		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3430		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3431		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3432		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3433		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3434		configured panel size.
3435
3436		Please see board_init_f function.
3437
3438- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3439		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3440		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3441		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3442
3443		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3444		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3445
3446- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3447		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3448
3449		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3450		Needed for mtdparts command support.
3451
3452		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3453
3454		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3455		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3456
3457- UBI support
3458		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3459
3460		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3461		with the UBI flash translation layer
3462
3463		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3464
3465		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3466
3467		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3468		warnings and errors enabled.
3469
3470
3471		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3472		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3473		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3474		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3475		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3476		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3477
3478		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3479		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3480		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3481		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3482		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3483
3484		default: 4096
3485
3486		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3487		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3488		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3489		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3490		flash), this value is ignored.
3491
3492		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3493		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3494		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3495		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3496		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3497		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3498
3499		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3500		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3501		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3502		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3503		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3504		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3505		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3506		partition.
3507
3508		default: 20
3509
3510		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3511		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3512		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3513		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3514		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3515		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3516		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3517		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3518		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3519		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3520		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3521		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3522
3523		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3524		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3525		without a fastmap.
3526		default: 0
3527
3528- UBIFS support
3529		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3530
3531		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3532		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3533
3534		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3535
3536		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3537
3538		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3539		warnings and errors enabled.
3540
3541- SPL framework
3542		CONFIG_SPL
3543		Enable building of SPL globally.
3544
3545		CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3546		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3547
3548		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3549		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3550		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3551		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3552		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3553		must not be both defined at the same time.
3554
3555		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3556		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3557		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3558		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3559		not exceed it.
3560
3561		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3562		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3563
3564		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3565		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3566		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3567
3568		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3569		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3570
3571		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3572		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3573		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3574		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3575		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3576		must not be both defined at the same time.
3577
3578		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3579		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3580
3581		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3582		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3583		loaded does not have a signature.
3584		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3585		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3586		will be caught.
3587		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3588		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3589		and thus should be skipped silently.
3590
3591		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3592		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3593		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3594		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3595
3596		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3597		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3598

3608		Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3609		See also: doc/README.falcon

3640		used in raw mode
3641
3642		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3643		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3644		used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3645
3646		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3647		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3648		Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3649		parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3650		(for falcon mode)
3651
3652		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION

3671		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3672
3673		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3674		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3675		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3676		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3677		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3678
3679		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3680		Avoid SPL relocation
3681
3682		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3683		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires
3684		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.

3688
3689		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3690		Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3691
3692		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE

3694		expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3695
3696		CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT

3698		environment on NAND support within SPL.
3699
3700		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3701		Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3702		if you need to save space.
3703
3704		CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT
3705		Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for
3706		drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary.
3707

3710		SPL binary.
3711
3712		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3713		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3714		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3715		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3716		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3717		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3718		to read U-Boot
3719
3720		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3721		Add support NAND boot
3722
3723		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3724		Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3725
3726		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3727		Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3728
3729		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3730		Size of image to load
3731
3732		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3733		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3734
3735		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3736		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3737		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3738
3739		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3740		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3741		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3742
3743		CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
3744		Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary
3745
3746		CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT
3747		Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary

3752		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3753		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3754
3755		CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT
3756		Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary
3757
3758		CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
3759		Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3760
3761		CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3762		Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3763		It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3764		CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3765
3766		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3767		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3768		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3769		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3770		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3771		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3772
3773		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3774		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3775		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3776		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3777
3778		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3779		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3780		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3781		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3782		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3783
3784- TPL framework
3785		CONFIG_TPL
3786		Enable building of TPL globally.
3787
3788		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3789		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3790		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3791		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3792		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3793		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3794
3795Modem Support:
3796--------------
3797
3798[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3799
3800- Modem support enable:
3801		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3802
3803- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3804		CONFIG_HWFLOW
3805
3806- Modem debug support:
3807		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3808
3809		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3810		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3811
3812- Interrupt support (PPC):
3813
3814		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3815		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3816		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3817		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3818		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3819		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3820		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3821		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3822		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3823		general timer_interrupt().
3824
3825- General:
3826
3827		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3828		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3829		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3830		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3831		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3832		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3833		initialization.
3834
3835		If there are no modem init strings in the
3836		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3837		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3838		suppressed, though.
3839
3840		See also: doc/README.Modem
3841
3842Board initialization settings:
3843------------------------------
3844
3845During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3846to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3847before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3848following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3849architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3850typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3851
3852- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3853- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3854- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3855- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3856
3857Configuration Settings:
3858-----------------------
3859
3860- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3861		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3862
3863- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3864		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3865
3866- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3867		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3868
3869- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3870		prompt for user input.
3871
3872- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3873
3874- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3875
3876- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3877
3878- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3879		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3880		booted
3881
3882- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3883		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3884
3885- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3886		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3887
3888- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3889		If the board specific function
3890			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3891		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3892		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3893
3894- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3895		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3896
3897- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3898		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3899
3900- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3901		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3902		simple memory test.
3903
3904- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3905		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3906
3907- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3908		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3909		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3910
3911- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3912		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3913		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3914		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3915		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3916		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3917		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3918		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3919		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3920		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3921
3922		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3923		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3924		be touched.
3925
3926		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3927		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3928		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3929		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3930		problems.
3931
3932- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3933		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3934
3935- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3936		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3937
3938- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3939		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3940		Cogent motherboard)
3941
3942- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3943		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3944
3945- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3946		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3947		make config files to be same as the text base address
3948		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3949		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3950
3951- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3952		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3953		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3954		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3955		flash sector.
3956
3957- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3958		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3959
3960- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3961		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3962		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3963		will become available before relocation. The address is just
3964		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3965		space.
3966
3967		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3968		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3969		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3970		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3971		U-Boot relocates itself.
3972
3973		Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
3974		at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3975
3976- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3977		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3978		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3979		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3980
3981- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3982		Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3983		typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3984		uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3985		otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3986		some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3987		cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3988		are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3989		cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3990		if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3991		size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3992		one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3993		written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3994		happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3995		buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3996		16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3997
3998		Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3999
4000- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
4001		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4002		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
4003		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
4004		to adjust this setting to your needs.
4005
4006- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
4007		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
4008		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
4009		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
4010		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
4011		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
4012		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
4013		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
4014		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4015		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4016		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
4017
4018- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
4019		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
4020		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
4021		is enabled.
4022
4023- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
4024		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
4025		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4026
4027- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
4028		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
4029		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4030
4031- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
4032		Max number of Flash memory banks
4033
4034- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
4035		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
4036
4037- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
4038		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
4039
4040- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
4041		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
4042
4043- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
4044		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
4045
4046- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
4047		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
4048
4049- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
4050		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4051		instead of U-Boot software protection.
4052
4053- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
4054
4055		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4056		without this option such a download has to be
4057		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4058		copy from RAM to flash.
4059
4060		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4061		you can check if the download worked before you erase
4062		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4063		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
4064		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4065
4066- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
4067		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
4068		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
4069
4070- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
4071		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
4072		in the drivers directory
4073
4074- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4075		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4076		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4077		to the MTD layer.
4078
4079- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
4080		Use buffered writes to flash.
4081
4082- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
4083		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
4084		write commands.
4085
4086- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
4087		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
4088		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4089		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4090		optionally available.
4091
4092- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4093		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4094		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4095		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4096
4097- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4098		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4099		against the source after the write operation. An error message
4100		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4101		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4102		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4103		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4104		this option if you really know what you are doing.
4105
4106- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
4107		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4108		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
4109		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4110		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
4111		on high Ethernet traffic.
4112		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
4113
4114- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
4115
4116	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4117	internally to store the environment settings. The default
4118	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4119	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4120	lib/hashtable.c for details.
4121
4122- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4123- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4124	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
4125	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4126	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4127	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4128
4129	The format of the list is:
4130		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
4131		access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
4132		attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
4133		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4134		list = entry[,list]
4135
4136	The type attributes are:
4137		s - String (default)
4138		d - Decimal
4139		x - Hexadecimal
4140		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4141		i - IP address
4142		m - MAC address
4143
4144	The access attributes are:
4145		a - Any (default)
4146		r - Read-only
4147		o - Write-once
4148		c - Change-default
4149
4150	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4151		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4152		environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4153
4154	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4155		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4156		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4157		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
4158		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4159		".flags" variable.
4160
4161- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4162	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4163	access flags.
4164
4165- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4166	This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4167	architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4168	to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4169	arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4170	common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4171	must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).
4172	If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report
4173	the problem and send patches!
4174
4175- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4176	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4177	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4178	the value can be calculated on a given board.
4179
4180- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4181	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4182	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4183	building U-Boot to enable this.
4184
4185The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4186of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4187following configurations:
4188
4189- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4190
4191	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4192	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4193
4194- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4195
4196	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4197
4198	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4199	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4200	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4201	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4202	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4203	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4204	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4205	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4206	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4207	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4208	   between U-Boot and the environment.
4209
4210	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4211
4212	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4213	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4214	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4215	   for this sector is given here.
4216
4217	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4218
4219	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4220
4221	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
4222	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4223	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
4224
4225	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4226
4227	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
4228
4229
4230	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4231	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4232	   the environment.
4233
4234	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4235
4236	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4237	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4238	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4239	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4240
4241	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4242	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4243	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4244	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4245	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4246	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
4247	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4248	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4249	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
4250
4251	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4252	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4253
4254	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4255	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4256	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4257	   a "saveenv" operation.
4258
4259BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4260source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4261accordingly!
4262
4263
4264- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4265
4266	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4267	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4268	environment.
4269
4270	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4271	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4272
4273	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4274	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4275	  can just be read and written to, without any special
4276	  provision.
4277
4278BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4279in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4280console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4281U-Boot will hang.
4282
4283Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4284environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4285keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4286to save the current settings.
4287
4288
4289- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4290
4291	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4292	device and a driver for it.
4293
4294	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4295	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4296
4297	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4298	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4299
4300	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4301	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4302	  The default address is zero.
4303
4304	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4305	  If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4306
4307	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4308	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4309	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
4310	  would require six bits.
4311
4312	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4313	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4314	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
4315
4316	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4317	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
4318	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
4319
4320	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4321	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4322	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4323	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4324	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4325	  byte chips.
4326
4327	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4328	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4329	  in the chip address.
4330
4331	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4332	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4333
4334	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4335	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4336	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4337
4338	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4339	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4340	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4341	  EEPROM. For example:
4342
4343	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
4344
4345	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4346	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4347
4348- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4349
4350	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4351	want to use for the environment.
4352
4353	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4354	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4355	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4356
4357	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4358	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4359	  at the specified address.
4360
4361- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4362
4363	Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4364	want to use for the environment.
4365
4366	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4367	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4368
4369	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4370	  environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4371	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4372
4373	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4374
4375	  Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4376
4377	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4378
4379	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4380	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4381	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4382	  during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4383	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4384
4385	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4386	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4387
4388	  Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4389
4390	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4391
4392	  Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4393
4394	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4395
4396	  Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4397
4398- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4399
4400	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4401	want to use for the local device's environment.
4402
4403	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4404	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4405
4406	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4407	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
4408	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
4409	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4410
4411BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4412"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4413environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4414but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4415
4416- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4417
4418	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4419	for the environment.
4420
4421	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4422	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4423
4424	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4425	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4426	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4427
4428	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4429
4430	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4431	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4432	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4433	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4434	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4435
4436	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4437
4438	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4439	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4440	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4441	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4442	  the range to be avoided.
4443
4444	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4445
4446	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4447	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
4448	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4449	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4450	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4451
4452- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4453
4454	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4455	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4456	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4457
4458- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4459
4460	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4461	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4462	accesses, which is important on NAND.
4463
4464	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4465
4466	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4467
4468	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4469
4470	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4471	  environment in.
4472
4473	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4474
4475	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4476	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4477	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4478
4479	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4480	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4481
4482	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4483	  when storing the env in UBI.
4484
4485- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4486       Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4487
4488       - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4489
4490         Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4491
4492       - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4493
4494         Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4495         be as following:
4496
4497           "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4498               - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4499                        partition table.
4500               - "D:0": device D.
4501               - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4502                              table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4503                              table.
4504               - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4505                           If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4506                           partition table then means device D.
4507
4508       - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4509
4510         It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4511         environment.
4512
4513       - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4514         This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4515
4516- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4517
4518	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4519	environment.
4520
4521	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4522
4523	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4524
4525	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4526
4527	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4528	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4529	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4530
4531	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4532	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4533
4534	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4535	  area within the specified MMC device.
4536
4537	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4538	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4539	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4540	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4541	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4542	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4543	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4544
4545	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4546	  MMC sector boundary.
4547
4548	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4549
4550	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4551	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4552	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4553	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4554
4555	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4556	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4557
4558	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4559	  an MMC sector boundary.
4560
4561	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4562
4563	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4564	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4565	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4566
4567- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4568
4569	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4570	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4571	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4572	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4573	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4574	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4575	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4576
4577Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4578has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4579created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4580until then to read environment variables.
4581
4582The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4583is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4584with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4585necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4586"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4587have any device yet where we could complain.]
4588
4589Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4590the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4591use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4592
4593- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4594		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4595
4596		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4597		      also needs to be defined.
4598
4599- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4600		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4601
4602- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4603		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4604		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4605		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4606		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4607		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4608
4609- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4610		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4611		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4612		to do this.
4613
4614- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4615		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4616		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4617		present.
4618
4619- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4620		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4621		build system checks that the actual size does not
4622		exceed it.
4623
4624Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4625---------------------------------------------------
4626
4627- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4628		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4629
4630- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4631		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4632
4633		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4634		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4635		the IMMR register after a reset.
4636
4637- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4638		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4639		PowerPC SOCs.
4640
4641- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4642		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4643		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4644
4645		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4646		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4647
4648- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4649		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4650		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4651		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4652		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4653		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4654		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4655
4656		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4657			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4658
4659- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4660		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4661		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4662		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4663		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4664
4665- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4666		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4667		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4668		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4669
4670- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4671		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4672		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4673
4674- Floppy Disk Support:
4675		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4676
4677		the default drive number (default value 0)
4678
4679		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4680
4681		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4682		(default value 1)
4683
4684		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4685
4686		defines the offset of register from address. It
4687		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4688		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4689
4690		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4691		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4692		default value.
4693
4694		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4695		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4696		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4697		source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4698		initializations.
4699
4700- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4701		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4702		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4703		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4704		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4705		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4706		is required.
4707
4708- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4709		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4710		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4711
4712- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4713
4714		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4715		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4716		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4717		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4718		will become available only after programming the
4719		memory controller and running certain initialization
4720		sequences.
4721
4722		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4723		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4724		- MPC824X: data cache
4725		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4726
4727- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4728
4729		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4730		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4731		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4732		data is located at the end of the available space
4733		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4734		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4735		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4736		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4737
4738	Note:
4739		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4740		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4741		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4742		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4743		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4779		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
4780
4781- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4782		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4783		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
4784
4785- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:

4795		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4796		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4797
4798- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4799		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4800		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4801		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
4802		cpm_8260.h.
4803
4804- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
4805  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

4816		required.
4817
4818- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4819		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4820		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4821		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4822		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4823		by coreboot or similar.

4883		Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4884
4885- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4886		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4887		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4888
4889- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4890		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4891
4892- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4893		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4894		to the given FEC; i. e.
4895			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4896		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4897
4898		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4899
4900- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4901		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4902		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4903
4904- CONFIG_RMII
4905		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4906		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4907		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4908
4909- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4910		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4911		The syntax is:
4912
4913		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4914
4915		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4916		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4917		area should have.
4918
4919- CONFIG_LOOPW
4920		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4921		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4922
4923- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4924		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4925		"md/mw" commands.
4926		Examples:
4927
4928		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4929		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4930
4931		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4932		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4933
4934		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4935		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4936
4937- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4938		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4939		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4940		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4941		relocate itself into RAM.
4942
4943		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4944		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4945		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4946		these initializations itself.
4947
4948- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4949		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4950		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4951		compiling a NAND SPL.
4952
4953- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4954		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4955		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4956		It is loaded by the SPL.
4957
4958- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4959		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4960		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4961		previous 4k of the .text section.
4962
4963- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4964		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4965		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4966		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4967		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4968		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4969		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4970		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4971
4972- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4973  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4974		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4975		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4976		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4977
4978- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4979		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4980		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4981
4982- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4983		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4984
4985		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4986
4987- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4988		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4989
4990- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4991		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4992		driver that uses this:
4993		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4994
4995Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4996-----------------------------------
4997
4998The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4999loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
5000This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5001are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5002within that device.
5003
5004- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
5005	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
5006	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5007	is also specified.
5008
5009- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
5010	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
5011	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5012	is also specified.
5013
5014- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5015	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
5016	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5017	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5018	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5019
5020- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5021	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5022	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5023	virtual address in NOR flash.
5024
5025- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
5026	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
5027	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
5028
5029- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
5030	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
5031	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5032
5033- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
5034	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5035	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5036
5037- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5038	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5039	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
5040	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5041	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
5042	master's memory space.
5043
5044Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
5045---------------------------------------------------------
5046The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5047"firmware".
5048This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5049are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5050within that device.
5051
5052- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5053	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5054
5055- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5056	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
5057	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5058	is also specified.
5059
5060- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5061	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
5062	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5063	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5064	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5065
5066- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5067	Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5068	normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
5069	virtual address in NOR flash.
5070
5071Building the Software:
5072======================
5073
5074Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5075and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5076all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5077(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5078recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5079which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
5080
5081If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5082have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5083you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5084Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5085necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
5086
5087	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5088	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
5089
5090Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5091      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5092      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5093      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
5094
5095       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5096
5097      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5098      be executed on computers running Windows.
5099
5100U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5101sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
5102is done by typing:
5103
5104	make NAME_defconfig
5105
5106where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5107rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5108
5109Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5110      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5111      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5112      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5113      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5114
5115      make TQM823L_defconfig
5116	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5117
5118      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5119	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5120
5121      etc.
5122
5123
5124Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5125images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5126
5127- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5128- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5129- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5130
5131By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5132in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5133this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5134
51351. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5136
5137	make O=/tmp/build distclean
5138	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5139	make O=/tmp/build all
5140
51412. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5142
5143	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5144	make distclean
5145	make NAME_defconfig
5146	make all
5147
5148Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5149variable.
5150
5151
5152Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5153for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5154native "make".
5155
5156
5157If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5158to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5159steps:
5160
51611.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
5162    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5163    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
51642.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5165    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5166    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51673.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5168    your board
51693.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5170    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
51714.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
51725.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5173    to be installed on your target system.
51746.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5175    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5176
5177
5178Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5179==============================================================
5180
5181If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5182or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5183provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5184the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5185official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5186
5187But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5188cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5189the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5190just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5191for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5192select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5193environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5194you can type
5195
5196	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5197
5198or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5199
5200	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5201
5202When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5203U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5204setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5205built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5206<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5207location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5208variable. For example:
5209
5210	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5211	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5212	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5213
5214With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5215log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5216during the whole build process.

5271Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
5272========================================
5273
5274TODO.
5275
5276For now: just type "help <command>".
5277
5278
5279Environment Variables:
5280======================
5281
5282U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5283can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5284
5285Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5286"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5287without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5288environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5289working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5290environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5291
5292Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5293
5294List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5295
5296  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5297
5298  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5299
5300  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5301
5302  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5303
5304  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
5305
5306  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5307		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5308		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5309		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5310		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5311		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5312		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5313		  bootm_mapsize.
5314
5315  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5316		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5317		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5318		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5319		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5320		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5321		  used otherwise.
5322
5323  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5324		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5325		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5326		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5327		  environment variable.
5328
5329  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5330		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5331		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5332
5333  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5334		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5335		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5336		  load any image using TFTP
5337
5338  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5339		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5340		  be automatically started (by internally calling
5341		  "bootm")
5342
5343		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5344		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5345		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5346		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5347		  data.
5348
5349  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5350		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5351		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5352		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5353		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5354		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5355		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5356		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5357		  access it during the boot procedure.
5358
5359		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5360		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
5361		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5362		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5363		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5364		  must be accessible by the kernel.
5365
5366  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5367		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5368		  defined.
5369
5370  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5371		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5372		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5373		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5374		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
5375
5376  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
5377		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5378		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5379		  is usually what you want since it allows for
5380		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5381		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5382		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5383		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5384		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5385		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5386		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5387
5388		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5389		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5390		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5391		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5392		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5393		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
5394
5395		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5396
5397		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5398		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5399		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5400		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5401		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5402		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
5403		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5404
5405  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5406
5407  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5408		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5409
5410  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5411
5412  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5413
5414  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5415
5416  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5417
5418  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5419
5420  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
5421
5422  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
5423		  For example you can do the following
5424
5425		  => setenv ethact FEC
5426		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5427		  => setenv ethact SCC
5428		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5429
5430  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5431		  available network interfaces.
5432		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5433
5434  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
5435		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
5436		  When set to "once" the network operation will
5437		  fail when all the available network interfaces
5438		  are tried once without success.
5439		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5440		  themselves.
5441
5442  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
5443
5444  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5445		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5446		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5447		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5448		  is silent.
5449
5450  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5451		  UDP source port.
5452
5453  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5454		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5455
5456  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5457		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
5458
5459  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5460		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5461		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5462		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5463		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5464		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5465		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
5466
5467  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5468		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5469		  VLAN tagged frames.
5470
5471The following image location variables contain the location of images
5472used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5473not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5474variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5475server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5476loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5477flash or offset in NAND flash.
5478
5479*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5480boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5481boards use these variables for other purposes.
5482
5483Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
5484-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
5485u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
5486Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
5487device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
5488ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
5489
5490The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5491updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5492depending the information provided by your boot server:
5493
5494  bootfile	- see above
5495  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
5496  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5497  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5498  hostname	- Target hostname
5499  ipaddr	- see above
5500  netmask	- Subnet Mask
5501  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5502  serverip	- see above
5503
5504
5505There are two special Environment Variables:
5506
5507  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
5508		  as type string and/or serial number
5509  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
5510
5511These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5512the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5513once they have been set once.
5514
5515
5516Further special Environment Variables:
5517
5518  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5519		  with the "version" command. This variable is
5520		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5521
5522
5523Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5524only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5525
5526
5527Callback functions for environment variables:
5528---------------------------------------------
5529
5530For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5531when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
5532be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
5533deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5534effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5535
5536The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5537U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5538
5539These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
5540static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5541in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5542associations.  The list must be in the following format:
5543
5544	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5545	list = entry[,list]
5546
5547If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5548Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5549
5550Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5551with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5552override any association in the static list. You can define
5553CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5554".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5555
5556
5557Command Line Parsing:
5558=====================
5559
5560There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5561the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5562
5563Old, simple command line parser:
5564--------------------------------
5565
5566- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5567- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5568- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5569- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5570  for example:
5571	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5572- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5573	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5574
5575Hush shell:
5576-----------
5577
5578- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5579  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5580  until...do...done, ...
5581- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5582  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5583  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5584  command
5585
5586General rules:
5587--------------
5588
5589(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5590    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5591    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5592    executed anyway.
5593
5594(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5595    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5596    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5597    variables are not executed.
5598
5599Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5600=======================================
5601
5602Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5603such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5604"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5605
5606Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5607MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5608"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5609
5610If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5611in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5612ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5613variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5614
5615o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5616  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5617
5618o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5619  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5620  used.
5621
5622o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5623  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5624
5625o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5626  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5627  warning is printed.
5628
5629o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5630  is raised.
5631
5632If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5633will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5634may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5635The naming convention is as follows:
5636"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5637
5638Image Formats:
5639==============
5640
5641U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5642images in two formats:
5643
5644New uImage format (FIT)
5645-----------------------
5646
5647Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5648to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5649components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5650SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5651
5652
5653Old uImage format
5654-----------------
5655
5656Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5657preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5658details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5659
5660* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5661  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5662  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5663  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5664  INTEGRITY).
5665* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5666  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5667  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5668* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5669* Load Address
5670* Entry Point
5671* Image Name
5672* Image Timestamp
5673
5674The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5675and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5676CRC32 checksums.
5677
5678
5679Linux Support:
5680==============
5681
5682Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5683easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5684U-Boot.
5685
5686U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5687special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5688"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5689instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5690serves several purposes:
5691
5692- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5693  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5694  Flash memory footprint)
5695
5696- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5697  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5698
5699- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5700  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5701  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5702  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5703  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5704  software is easier now.
5705
5706
5707Linux HOWTO:
5708============
5709
5710Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5711---------------------------------------
5712
5713U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5714configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5715(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5716Linux :-).
5717
5718But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5719
5720Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5721include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5722Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5723and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5724as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5725
5726Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5727If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5728is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5729doc/driver-model.
5730
5731
5732Configuring the Linux kernel:
5733-----------------------------
5734
5735No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5736device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5737
5738
5739Building a Linux Image:
5740-----------------------
5741
5742With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5743not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5744"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5745U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5746which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5747100% compatible format.
5748
5749Example:
5750
5751	make TQM850L_defconfig
5752	make oldconfig
5753	make dep
5754	make uImage
5755
5756The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5757encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5758CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5759
5760* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5761
5762* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5763
5764	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5765				 -R .note -R .comment \
5766				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5767
5768* compress the binary image:
5769
5770	gzip -9 linux.bin
5771
5772* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5773
5774	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5775		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5776		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5777
5778
5779The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5780with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5781combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5782byte header containing information about target architecture,
5783operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5784stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5785
5786"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5787print the header information, or to build new images.
5788
5789In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5790contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5791checksum verification:
5792
5793	tools/mkimage -l image
5794	  -l ==> list image header information
5795
5796The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5797from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5798
5799	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5800		      -n name -d data_file image
5801	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5802	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5803	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5804	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5805	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5806	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5807	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5808	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5809
5810Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5811address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5812kernel version:
5813
5814- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5815- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5816
5817So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5818
5819	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5820	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5821	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5822	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5823	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5824	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5825	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5826	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5827	Load Address: 0x00000000
5828	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5829
5830To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5831
5832	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5833	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5834	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5835	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5836	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5837	Load Address: 0x00000000
5838	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5839
5840NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5841speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5842needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5843need to be uncompressed:
5844
5845	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5846	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5847	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5848	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5849	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5850	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5851	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5852	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5853	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB

5858Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5859when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5860
5861	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5862	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5863	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5864	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5865	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5866	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5867	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5868	Load Address: 0x00000000
5869	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5870
5871The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5872option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5873option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5874from the image:
5875
5876	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5877	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5878	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5879	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5880
5881
5882Installing a Linux Image:
5883-------------------------
5884
5885To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5886you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5887
5888	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5889
5890The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5891image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5892address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5893specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5894command.
5895
5896Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5897TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5898
5899	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5900
5901	.......... done
5902	Erased 8 sectors
5903

5910	[file transfer complete]
5911	[connected]
5912	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5913
5914
5915You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5916this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5917corruption happened:
5918
5919	=> imi 40100000
5920

5930Boot Linux:
5931-----------
5932
5933The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5934memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5935of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5936parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5937"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5938
5939
5940	=> printenv bootargs
5941	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5942
5943	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2

6062More About U-Boot Image Types:
6063------------------------------
6064
6065U-Boot supports the following image types:
6066
6067   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6068	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6069	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6070	the Standalone Program.
6071   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6072	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6073	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6074	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6075	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6076   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6077	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6078	being started.
6079   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6080	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6081	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6082	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6083	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6084	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6085
6086	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6087	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6088	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6089	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6090	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6091	a multiple of 4 bytes).
6092
6093   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6094	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6095	flash memory.
6096
6097   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6098	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6099	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6100	as command interpreter.
6101
6102Booting the Linux zImage:
6103-------------------------
6104
6105On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6106using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6107as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6108
6109Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
6110kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6111address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6112format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
6113
6114
6115Standalone HOWTO:
6116=================
6117
6118One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6119run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6120U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6121
6122Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6123
6124"Hello World" Demo:
6125-------------------
6126
6127'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6128application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6129It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6130like that:
6131
6132	=> loads
6133	## Ready for S-Record download ...
6134	~>examples/hello_world.srec
6135	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6136	[file transfer complete]
6137	[connected]
6138	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6139
6140	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6141	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6142	Hello World
6143	argc = 7
6144	argv[0] = "40004"
6145	argv[1] = "Hello"
6146	argv[2] = "World!"
6147	argv[3] = "This"
6148	argv[4] = "is"
6149	argv[5] = "a"
6150	argv[6] = "test."
6151	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6152	Hit any key to exit ...
6153
6154	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6155
6156Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6157handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6158Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6159The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6160character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6161controlled by the following keys:
6162
6163	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6164	b - enable interrupts and start timer
6165	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6166	q - quit application
6167
6168	=> loads
6169	## Ready for S-Record download ...

6203Minicom warning:
6204================
6205
6206Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6207"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6208consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6209Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6210especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
6211use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
6212http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6213for help with kermit.
6214
6215
6216Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6217configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
6218
6219	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
6220	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

6224NetBSD Notes:
6225=============
6226
6227Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6228(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6229
6230Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6231NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6232need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6233Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6234attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6235missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6236
6237	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6238	# mkdir powerpc
6239	# ln -s powerpc machine
6240	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6241	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6242
6243Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6244and U-Boot include files.
6245
6246Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6247stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6248proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6249tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6250meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6251
6252
6253Implementation Internals:
6254=========================
6255
6256The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6257implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6258inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6259hardware.
6260
6261
6262Initial Stack, Global Data:
6263---------------------------
6264
6265The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6266starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6267system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6268This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6269is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6270at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6271options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6272models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6273MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6274locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6275
6276	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6277	U-Boot mailing list:
6278
6279	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6280	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6281	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6282	...
6283
6284	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6285	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6286	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6287	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6288	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6289	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6290	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6291	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6292
6293	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6294	is another option for the system designer to use as an
6295	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6296	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6297	board designers haven't used it for something that would
6298	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6299	used.
6300
6301	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6302	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6303	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6304	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6305	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6306	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6307	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6308	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6309	you get the config right.

6314It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6315code for the initialization procedures:
6316
6317* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6318  to write it.
6319
6320* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6321  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6322  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6323
6324* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6325  that.
6326
6327Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6328normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6329turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6330simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6331functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6332functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6333the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6334place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6335reserve for this purpose.
6336
6337When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6338relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
6339GCC's implementation.
6340
6341For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6342	R1:	stack pointer
6343	R2:	reserved for system use
6344	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
6345	R5-R10: parameter passing
6346	R13:	small data area pointer
6347	R30:	GOT pointer
6348	R31:	frame pointer
6349
6350	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6351	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6352	going back and forth between asm and C)
6353
6354    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6355
6356    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6357    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6358    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6359    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6360    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6361    624 text + 127 data).
6362
6363On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6364	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6365
6366    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6367
6368On ARM, the following registers are used:
6369
6370	R0:	function argument word/integer result
6371	R1-R3:	function argument word
6372	R9:	platform specific
6373	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6374	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
6375	R12:	temporary workspace
6376	R13:	stack pointer
6377	R14:	link register
6378	R15:	program counter
6379
6380    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6381
6382    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6383
6384On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6385	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6386
6387    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6388
6389    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6390    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6391
6392On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6393
6394	R0-R1:	argument/return
6395	R2-R5:	argument
6396	R15:	temporary register for assembler
6397	R16:	trampoline register
6398	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
6399	R29:	global pointer (GP)
6400	R30:	link register (LP)
6401	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
6402	PC:	program counter (PC)
6403
6404    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6405
6406NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6407or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6408
6409Memory Management:
6410------------------
6411
6412U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6413MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6414
6415The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6416controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6417memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6418physical memory banks.
6419
6420U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6421TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6422booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6423to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6424memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6425configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6426Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6427
6428Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6429of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6430
6431So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6432this:
6433
6434	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
6435	      :
6436	0x0000 1FFF
6437	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
6438	      :
6439	      :
6440
6441	      :
6442	      :
6443	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6444	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6445	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
6446	      :
6447	0x00FD FFFF
6448	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6449	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6450	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6451	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
6452
6453
6454System Initialization:
6455----------------------
6456
6457In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6458(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6459configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6460To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6461To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6462initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6463which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6464part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6465the caches and the SIU.
6466
6467Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6468preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6469(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6470on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6471programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6472simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6473banks.
6474
6475When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6476different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6477bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64780x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6479contiguous memory starting from 0.
6480
6481Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6482and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6483Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6484pages, and the final stack is set up.
6485
6486Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6487until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6488running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6489new address in RAM.

6566Coding Standards:
6567-----------------
6568
6569All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6570coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6571"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6572
6573Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6574MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6575reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6576sources.
6577
6578Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6579Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6580in your code.
6581
6582Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6583- remove any trailing white space
6584- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6585- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6586- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6587- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6588
6589Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6590with a request to reformat the changes.
6591
6592
6593Submitting Patches:
6594-------------------
6595
6596Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6597establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6598may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6599
6600Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6601
6602Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6603see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6604
6605When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6606it:
6607
6608* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6609  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6610  patch actually fixes something.
6611
6612* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6613  implementation.
6614
6615* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6616
6617* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6618
6619* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6620  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6621
6622* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6623  document these in the README file.
6624
6625* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6626  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6627  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6628  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6629  with some other mail clients.
6630
6631  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6632  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6633  GNU diff.
6634
6635  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6636  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6637  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6638  affected files).
6639
6640  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6641  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6642
6643* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6644  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6645
6646* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6647  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6648
6649
6650Notes:
6651
6652* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6653  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6654  for any of the boards.
6655
6656* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6657  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6658  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6659
6660* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6661  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6662  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6663  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6664  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6665  modification.
6666
6667* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6668  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6669  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6670  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
