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: 43 44 make CHANGELOG 45 46 47Where to get help: 48================== 49 50In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 51U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 52<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

Regular releases are identified by 121names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 122Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 123releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 124 125Examples: 126 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 127 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 128 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 129 130 131Directory Hierarchy: 132==================== 133 134/arch Architecture specific files 135 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 136 /cpu CPU specific files 137 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 138 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 139 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 140 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 141 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 142 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 143 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 144 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 145 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 146 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 147 /lib Architecture specific library files 148 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 149 /cpu CPU specific files 150 /lib Architecture specific library files 151 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 152 /cpu CPU specific files 153 /lib Architecture specific library files 154 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 155 /cpu CPU specific files 156 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 157 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 158 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 159 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 160 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 161 /lib Architecture specific library files 162 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 163 /cpu CPU specific files 164 /lib Architecture specific library files 165 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 166 /cpu CPU specific files 167 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 168 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 169 /lib Architecture specific library files 170 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 171 /cpu CPU specific files 172 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 173 /lib Architecture specific library files 174 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 175 /cpu CPU specific files 176 /lib Architecture specific library files 177 /openrisc Files generic to OpenRISC architecture 178 /cpu CPU specific files 179 /lib Architecture specific library files 180 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 181 /cpu CPU specific files 182 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 183 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 184 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 185 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 186 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 187 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 188 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 189 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 190 /lib Architecture specific library files 191 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 192 /cpu CPU specific files 193 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 194 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 195 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 196 /lib Architecture specific library files 197 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 198 /cpu CPU specific files 199 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 200 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 201 /lib Architecture specific library files 202 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 203 /cpu CPU specific files 204 /lib Architecture specific library files 205/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 206/board Board dependent files 207/common Misc architecture independent functions 208/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 209/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 210/drivers Commonly used device drivers 211/dts Contains Makefile for building internal U-Boot fdt. 212/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 213/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 214/include Header Files 215/lib Files generic to all architectures 216 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 217 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 218 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 219/net Networking code 220/post Power On Self Test 221/spl Secondary Program Loader framework 222/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 223 224Software Configuration: 225======================= 226 227Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 228rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 229 230There are two classes of configuration variables: 231 232* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 233 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 234 "CONFIG_". 235 236* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 237 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 238 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 239 "CONFIG_SYS_". 240 241Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 242identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 243do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 244links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 245as an example here. 246 247 248Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 249--------------------------------------------------- 250 251For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 252configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 253 254Example: For a TQM823L module type: 255 256 cd u-boot 257 make TQM823L_config 258 259For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 260e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 261directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 262 263 264Configuration Options: 265---------------------- 266 267Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 268such information is kept in a configuration file 269"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 270 271Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 272"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 273 274 275Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 276kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 277build a config tool - later. 278 279 280The following options need to be configured: 281 282- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 283 284- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 285 286- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 287 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 288 289- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 290 Define exactly one of 291 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 292--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 293 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 294 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 295 296- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 297 Define exactly one of 298 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 299 300- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 301 Define one or more of 302 CONFIG_CMA302 303 304- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 305 Define one or more of 306 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 307 the LCD display every second with 308 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 309 310- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 311 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 312 Possible values are: 313 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 314 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 315 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 316 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 317 318- Marvell Family Member 319 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 320 multiple fs option at one time 321 for marvell soc family 322 323- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 324 Define exactly one of 325 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 326 327- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 328 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 329 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 330 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 331 reference PIT/RTC clock 332 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 333 or XTAL/EXTAL) 334 335- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 336 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 337 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 338 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 339 See doc/README.MPC866 340 341 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 342 343 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 344 of relying on the correctness of the configured 345 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 346 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 347 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 348 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 349 350 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 351 352 Define this option if you want to enable the 353 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 354 355- 85xx CPU Options: 356 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 357 358 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 359 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 360 compliance, among other possible reasons. 361 362 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 363 364 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 365 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 366 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 367 368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 369 370 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 371 tree nodes for the given platform. 372 373 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 374 375 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 376 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 377 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 378 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 379 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 380 purpose. 381 382 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 383 384 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 385 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 386 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 387 388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 389 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 390 391 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 392 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 393 394 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 395 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 396 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 397 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 398 399 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 400 this erratum. 401 402 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 403 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 404 requred during NOR boot. 405 406 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 407 408 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 409 according to the A004510 workaround. 410 411 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR 412 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is 413 connected exclusively to the DSP cores. 414 415 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 416 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 417 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 418 419 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR 420 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly 421 connected to the DSP core. 422 423 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 424 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 425 426 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 427 Specify emulator support for DDR. Some DDR features such as 428 deskew training are not available. 429 430- Generic CPU options: 431 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 432 433 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 434 values is arch specific. 435 436- Intel Monahans options: 437 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 438 439 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 440 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 441 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 442 443 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 444 445 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 446 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 447 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 448 by this value. 449 450- MIPS CPU options: 451 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 452 453 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 454 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 455 relocation. 456 457 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 458 459 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 460 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 461 Possible values are: 462 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 463 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 464 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 465 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 466 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 467 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 468 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 469 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 470 471 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 472 473 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 474 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 475 476 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 477 478 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 479 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 480 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 481 482- ARM options: 483 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 484 485 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 486 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 487 488 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 489 490 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 491 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 492 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 493 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 494 GCC. 495 496 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 497 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 498 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 499 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 500 501 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 502 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 503 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 504 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 505 set these options unless they apply! 506 507- CPU timer options: 508 CONFIG_SYS_HZ 509 510 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). 511 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG 512 option must be set to 1000. 513 514- Linux Kernel Interface: 515 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 516 517 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 518 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 519 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 520 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 521 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 522 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 523 Linux kernel. 524 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 525 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 526 default environment. 527 528 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 529 530 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 531 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 532 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 533 534 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 535 536 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 537 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 538 concepts). 539 540 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 541 * New libfdt-based support 542 * Adds the "fdt" command 543 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 544 545 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 546 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 547 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 548 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 549 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 550 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 551 552 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 553 addresses 554 555 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 556 557 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 558 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 559 560 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 561 562 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 563 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 564 565 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 566 567 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 568 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 569 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 570 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 571 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 572 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 573 574 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 575 576 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 577 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 578 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 579 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 580 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 581 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 582 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 583 584- vxWorks boot parameters: 585 586 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 587 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 588 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 589 590 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 591 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 592 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 593 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 594 595 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 596 597 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 598 599 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 600 the defaults discussed just above. 601 602- Cache Configuration: 603 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 604 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 605 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 606 607- Cache Configuration for ARM: 608 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 609 controller 610 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 611 controller register space 612 613- Serial Ports: 614 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 615 616 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 617 618 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 619 620 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 621 622 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 623 624 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 625 the clock speed of the UARTs. 626 627 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 628 629 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 630 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 631 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 632 633 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 634 635 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 636 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 637 this variable to initialize the extra register. 638 639 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 640 641 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 642 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 643 variable to flush the UART at init time. 644 645 646- Console Interface: 647 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 648 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 649 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 650 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 651 652 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 653 port routines must be defined elsewhere 654 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 655 656 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 657 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 658 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 659 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 660 (default big endian) 661 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 662 rectangle fill 663 (cf. smiLynxEM) 664 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 665 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 666 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 667 (cols=pitch) 668 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 669 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 670 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 671 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 672 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 673 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 674 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 675 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 676 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 677 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 678 (i.e. i8042_getc) 679 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 680 (requires blink timer 681 cf. i8042.c) 682 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 683 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 684 upper right corner 685 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 686 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 687 upper left corner 688 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 689 linux_logo.h for logo. 690 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 691 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 692 additional board info beside 693 the logo 694 695 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 696 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 697 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 698 699 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 700 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 701 environment 'console=serial'. 702 703 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 704 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 705 the "silent" environment variable. See 706 doc/README.silent for more information. 707 708 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default 709 is 0x00. 710 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default 711 is 0xa0. 712 713- Console Baudrate: 714 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 715 Select one of the baudrates listed in 716 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 717 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 718 719- Console Rx buffer length 720 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 721 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 722 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 723 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 724 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 725 the SMC. 726 727- Pre-Console Buffer: 728 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 729 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 730 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 731 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 732 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 733 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 734 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 735 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 736 earlier bytes are discarded. 737 738 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 739 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 740 741- Safe printf() functions 742 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 743 the printf() functions. These are defined in 744 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 745 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 746 If this option is not given then these functions will 747 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 748 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 749 750- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 751 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 752 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 753 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 754 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 755 756 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 757 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 758 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 759 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 760 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 761 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 762 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 763 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 764 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 765 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 766 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 767 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 768 769- Autoboot Command: 770 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 771 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 772 define a command string that is automatically executed 773 when no character is read on the console interface 774 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 775 776 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 777 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 778 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 779 environment value "bootargs". 780 781 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 782 The value of these goes into the environment as 783 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 784 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 785 RAM and NFS. 786 787- Bootcount: 788 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 789 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot 790 cycle, see: 791 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 792 793 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV 794 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware 795 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a 796 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable 797 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is 798 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is 799 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment. 800 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available" 801 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully. 802 803- Pre-Boot Commands: 804 CONFIG_PREBOOT 805 806 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 807 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 808 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 809 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 810 entering interactive mode. 811 812 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 813 automatically generated or modified. For an example 814 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 815 modified when the user holds down a certain 816 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 817 booting the systems 818 819- Serial Download Echo Mode: 820 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 821 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 822 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 823 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 824 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 825 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 826 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 827 828- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 829 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 830 Select one of the baudrates listed in 831 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 832 833- Monitor Functions: 834 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 835 from the build by using the #include files 836 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 837 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 838 and augmenting with additional #define's 839 for wanted commands. 840 841 The default command configuration

(flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 954 955 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 956 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 957 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 958 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 959 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 960 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 961 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 962 initial stack and some data. 963 964 965 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 966 967- Regular expression support: 968 CONFIG_REGEX 969 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 970 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 971 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 972 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 973 974- Device tree: 975 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 976 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 977 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 978 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 979 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 980 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 981 982 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 983 be done using one of the two options below: 984 985 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 986 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 987 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 988 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 989 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 990 the global data structure as gd->blob. 991 992 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 993 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 994 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 995 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 996 997 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 998 999 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 1000 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 1001 still use the individual files if you need something more 1002 exotic. 1003 1004- Watchdog: 1005 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 1006 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 1007 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 1008 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 1009 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 1010 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 1011 available, then no further board specific code should 1012 be needed to use it. 1013 1014 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 1015 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 1016 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 1017 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 1018 1019- U-Boot Version: 1020 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 1021 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1022 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1023 version as printed by the "version" command. 1024 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1025 next reset. 1026 1027- Real-Time Clock: 1028 1029 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1030 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1031 following options: 1032 1033 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1034 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1035 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1036 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1037 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1038 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1039 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1040 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1041 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1042 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1043 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1044 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1045 RV3029 RTC. 1046 1047 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1048 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1049 1050- GPIO Support: 1051 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1052 1053 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1054 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1055 pins supported by a particular chip. 1056 1057 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1058 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1059 1060- Timestamp Support: 1061 1062 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1063 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1064 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1065 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1066 1067- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1068 Zero or more of the following: 1069 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1070 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1071 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1072 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1073 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1074 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 1075 disk/part_efi.c 1076 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 1077 1078 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 1079 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 1080 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 1081 1082- IDE Reset method: 1083 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 1084 board configurations files but used nowhere! 1085 1086 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 1087 be performed by calling the function 1088 ide_set_reset(int reset) 1089 which has to be defined in a board specific file 1090 1091- ATAPI Support: 1092 CONFIG_ATAPI 1093 1094 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 1095 1096- LBA48 Support 1097 CONFIG_LBA48 1098 1099 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 1100 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 1101 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 1102 support disks up to 2.1TB. 1103 1104 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 1105 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 1106 Default is 32bit. 1107 1108- SCSI Support: 1109 At the moment only there is only support for the 1110 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 1111 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 1112 1113 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 1114 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 1115 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 1116 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 1117 devices. 1118 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 1119 1120 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 1121 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 1122 1123- NETWORK Support (PCI): 1124 CONFIG_E1000 1125 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 1126 1127 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 1128 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 1129 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 1130 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 1131 1132 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 1133 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 1134 example with the "sspi" command. 1135 1136 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 1137 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 1138 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1139 1140 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1141 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1142 1143 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1144 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1145 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1146 write routine for first time initialisation. 1147 1148 CONFIG_TULIP 1149 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1150 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1151 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1152 1153 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1154 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1155 1156 CONFIG_NS8382X 1157 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1158 1159- NETWORK Support (other): 1160 1161 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1162 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1163 1164 CONFIG_RMII 1165 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1166 1167 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1168 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1169 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1170 1171 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1172 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1173 1174 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1175 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1176 1177 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1178 Define this to hold the physical address 1179 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1180 1181 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1182 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1183 1184 CONFIG_SMC91111 1185 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1186 1187 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1188 Define this to hold the physical address 1189 of the device (I/O space) 1190 1191 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1192 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1193 1194 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1195 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1196 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1197 1198 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1199 Support for davinci emac 1200 1201 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1202 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1203 1204 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1205 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1206 1207 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1208 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1209 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1210 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1211 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1212 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1213 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1214 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1215 1216 CONFIG_SMC911X 1217 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1218 1219 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1220 Define this to hold the physical address 1221 of the device (I/O space) 1222 1223 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1224 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1225 1226 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1227 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1228 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1229 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1230 1231 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1232 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1233 1234 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1235 Define the number of ports to be used 1236 1237 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1238 Define the ETH PHY's address 1239 1240 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1241 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1242 1243- TPM Support: 1244 CONFIG_TPM 1245 Support TPM devices. 1246 1247 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C 1248 Support for i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1249 per system is supported at this time. 1250 1251 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BUS_NUMBER 1252 Define the the i2c bus number for the TPM device 1253 1254 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 1255 Define the TPM's address on the i2c bus 1256 1257 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1258 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1259 1260 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI 1261 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. 1262 1263 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1264 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1265 per system is supported at this time. 1266 1267 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1268 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1269 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1270 0xfed40000. 1271 1272 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1273 Add tpm monitor functions. 1274 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1275 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1276 1277 CONFIG_TPM 1278 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1279 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1280 Requires support for a TPM device. 1281 1282 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1283 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1284 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1285 1286- USB Support: 1287 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1288 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1289 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1290 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1291 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1292 storage devices. 1293 Note: 1294 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1295 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1296 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1297 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1298 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1299 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1300 for USB on PSC3 1301 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1302 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1303 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1304 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1305 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1306 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1307 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1308 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1309 1310 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1311 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1312 1313 CONFIG_USB_HUB_MIN_POWER_ON_DELAY defines the minimum 1314 interval for usb hub power-on delay.(minimum 100msec) 1315 1316- USB Device: 1317 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1318 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1319 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1320 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1321 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1322 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1323 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1324 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1325 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1326 a Linux host by 1327 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1328 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1329 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1330 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1331 1332 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1333 Define this to build a UDC device 1334 1335 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1336 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1337 talk to the UDC device 1338 1339 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1340 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1341 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1342 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1343 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1344 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1345 speed. 1346 1347 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1348 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1349 be set to usbtty. 1350 1351 mpc8xx: 1352 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1353 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1354 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1355 1356 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1357 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1358 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1359 1360 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1361 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1362 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1363 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1364 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1365 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1366 1367 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1368 Define this string as the name of your company for 1369 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1370 1371 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1372 Define this string as the name of your product 1373 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1374 1375 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1376 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1377 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1378 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1379 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1380 1381 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1382 Define this as the unique Product ID 1383 for your device 1384 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1385 1386 Some USB device drivers may need to check USB cable attachment. 1387 In this case you can enable following config in BoardName.h: 1388 CONFIG_USB_CABLE_CHECK 1389 This enables function definition: 1390 - usb_cable_connected() in include/usb.h 1391 Implementation of this function is board-specific. 1392 1393- ULPI Layer Support: 1394 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1395 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1396 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1397 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1398 viewport is supported. 1399 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1400 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1401 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1402 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1403 the appropriate value in Hz. 1404 1405- MMC Support: 1406 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1407 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1408 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1409 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1410 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1411 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1412 1413 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1414 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1415 1416 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1417 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1418 1419 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1420 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1421 1422- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1423 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1424 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1425 1426 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1427 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1428 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1429 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1430 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1431 1432 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1433 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1434 1435 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1436 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1437 1438 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1439 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1440 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1441 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1442 one that would help mostly the developer. 1443 1444 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1445 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1446 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1447 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1448 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1449 1450 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1451 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1452 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1453 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1454 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1455 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1456 1457- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1458 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1459 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1460 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1461 1462 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1463 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1464 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1465 1466 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1467 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1468 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1469 1470 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1471 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1472 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1473 have not defined a custom partition 1474 1475- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1476 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1477 1478 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1479 file in FAT formatted partition. 1480 1481 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1482 user to write files to FAT. 1483 1484CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1485 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1486 1487 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1488 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1489 and cbfsload. 1490 1491- Keyboard Support: 1492 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1493 1494 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1495 support 1496 1497 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1498 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1499 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1500 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1501 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1502 1503 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1504 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1505 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1506 which provides key scans on request. 1507 1508- Video support: 1509 CONFIG_VIDEO 1510 1511 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1512 video). 1513 1514 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1515 1516 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1517 1518 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1519 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1520 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1521 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1522 assumed. 1523 1524 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1525 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1526 are possible: 1527 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1528 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1529 1530 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1531 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1532 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1533 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1534 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1535 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1536 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1537 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1538 1539 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1540 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1541 1542 1543 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1544 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1545 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1546 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1547 1548 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1549 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1550 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1551 support, and should also define these other macros: 1552 1553 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1554 CONFIG_VIDEO 1555 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1556 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1557 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1558 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1559 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1560 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1561 1562 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1563 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1564 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1565 description of this variable. 1566 1567 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1568 1569 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1570 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1571 driver. 1572 1573 1574- Keyboard Support: 1575 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1576 1577 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1578 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1579 defined in your board-specific files. 1580 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1581 1582- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1583 1584 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1585 display); also select one of the supported displays 1586 by defining one of these: 1587 1588 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1589 1590 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1591 1592 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1593 1594 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1595 1596 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1597 1598 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1599 Active, color, single scan. 1600 1601 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1602 1603 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1604 Active, color, single scan. 1605 1606 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1607 1608 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1609 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1610 1611 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1612 1613 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1614 Active, color, single scan. 1615 1616 CONFIG_HLD1045 1617 1618 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1619 Active, color, single scan. 1620 1621 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1622 1623 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1624 or 1625 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1626 or 1627 Hitachi SP14Q002 1628 1629 320x240. Black & white. 1630 1631 Normally display is black on white background; define 1632 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1633 1634 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1635 1636 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1637 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1638 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1639 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1640 a per-section basis. 1641 1642 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1643 1644 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1645 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1646 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1647 is slow. 1648 1649 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1650 1651 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1652 1653 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1654 1655 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1656 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1657 1658- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1659 1660 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1661 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1662 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1663 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1664 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1665 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1666 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1667 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1668 1669 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1670 1671 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1672 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1673 (see README.displaying-bmps and README.arm-unaligned-accesses). 1674 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1675 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1676 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1677 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1678 there is no need to set this option. 1679 1680 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1681 1682 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1683 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1684 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1685 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1686 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1687 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1688 1689 Example: 1690 setenv splashpos m,m 1691 => image at center of screen 1692 1693 setenv splashpos 30,20 1694 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1695 1696 setenv splashpos -10,m 1697 => vertically centered image 1698 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1699 1700- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1701 1702 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1703 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1704 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1705 1706- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1707 1708 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1709 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1710 bmp command. 1711 1712- Do compresssing for memory range: 1713 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1714 1715 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1716 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1717 1718- Compression support: 1719 CONFIG_GZIP 1720 1721 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 1722 1723 CONFIG_BZIP2 1724 1725 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1726 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1727 compressed images are supported. 1728 1729 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1730 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1731 be at least 4MB. 1732 1733 CONFIG_LZMA 1734 1735 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1736 images is included. 1737 1738 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1739 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1740 formula: 1741 1742 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1743 1744 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1745 and Literal pos bits. 1746 1747 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1748 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1749 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1750 a very small buffer. 1751 1752 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1753 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1754 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1755 1756 CONFIG_LZO 1757 1758 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images 1759 is included. 1760 1761- MII/PHY support: 1762 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1763 1764 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1765 1766 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1767 1768 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1769 1770 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1771 1772 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1773 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1774 1775 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1776 1777 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1778 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1779 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1780 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1781 1782 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1783 1784 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1785 command issued before MII status register can be read 1786 1787- Ethernet address: 1788 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1789 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1790 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1791 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1792 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1793 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1794 1795 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1796 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1797 is not determined automatically. 1798 1799- IP address: 1800 CONFIG_IPADDR 1801 1802 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1803 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1804 determined through e.g. bootp. 1805 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1806 1807- Server IP address: 1808 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1809 1810 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1811 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1812 (Environment variable "serverip") 1813 1814 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1815 1816 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1817 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1818 1819- Gateway IP address: 1820 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1821 1822 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1823 default router where packets to other networks are 1824 sent to. 1825 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1826 1827- Subnet mask: 1828 CONFIG_NETMASK 1829 1830 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1831 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1832 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1833 forwarded through a router. 1834 (Environment variable "netmask") 1835 1836- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1837 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1838 1839 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1840 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1841 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1842 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1843 multicast group. 1844 1845- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1846 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1847 1848 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1849 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1850 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1851 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1852 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1853 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1854 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1855 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1856 following delays are inserted then: 1857 1858 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1859 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1860 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1861 4th and following 1862 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1863 1864- DHCP Advanced Options: 1865 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1866 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1867 1868 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1869 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1870 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1871 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1872 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1873 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1874 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1875 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1876 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1877 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1878 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1879 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1880 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1881 1882 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1883 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1884 1885 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1886 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1887 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1888 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1889 is not available. 1890 1891 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1892 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1893 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1894 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1895 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1896 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1897 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1898 is defined. 1899 1900 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1901 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1902 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1903 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1904 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1905 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1906 1907 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1908 1909 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1910 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1911 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1912 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1913 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1914 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1915 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1916 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1917 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1918 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1919 this delay. 1920 1921 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1922 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1923 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1924 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1925 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1926 1927 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1928 1929 - CDP Options: 1930 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1931 1932 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1933 1934 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1935 1936 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1937 of the device. 1938 1939 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1940 1941 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1942 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1943 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1944 1945 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1946 1947 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1948 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1949 1950 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1951 1952 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1953 1954 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1955 1956 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1957 1958 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1959 1960 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1961 1962 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1963 1964 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1965 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1966 1967 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1968 1969 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1970 1971- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1972 1973 Several configurations allow to display the current 1974 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1975 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1976 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1977 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1978 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1979 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1980 feature in U-Boot. 1981 1982- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1983 1984 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1985 on those systems that support this (optional) 1986 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1987 1988- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 1989 1990 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 1991 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 1992 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 1993 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See 1994 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line 1995 interface. 1996 1997 ported i2c driver to the new framework: 1998 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: 1999 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define 2000 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE 2001 for defining speed and slave address 2002 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define 2003 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 2004 for defining speed and slave address 2005 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define 2006 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 2007 for defining speed and slave address 2008 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define 2009 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 2010 for defining speed and slave address 2011 2012 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: 2013 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL 2014 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register 2015 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and 2016 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first 2017 bus. 2018 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define 2019 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset 2020 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and 2021 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the 2022 second bus. 2023 2024 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: 2025 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA 2026 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from 2027 100000 and the slave addr 0! 2028 2029 - drivers/i2c/ppc4xx_i2c.c 2030 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PPC4XX 2031 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PPC4XX_CH0 activate hardware channel 0 2032 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PPC4XX_CH1 activate hardware channel 1 2033 2034 - drivers/i2c/i2c_mxc.c 2035 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MXC 2036 - define speed for bus 1 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C1_SPEED 2037 - define slave for bus 1 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C1_SLAVE 2038 - define speed for bus 2 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C2_SPEED 2039 - define slave for bus 2 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C2_SLAVE 2040 - define speed for bus 3 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C3_SPEED 2041 - define slave for bus 3 with CONFIG_SYS_MXC_I2C3_SLAVE 2042 If thoses defines are not set, default value is 100000 2043 for speed, and 0 for slave. 2044 2045 - drivers/i2c/rcar_i2c.c: 2046 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RCAR 2047 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses 2048 2049 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C0_BASE for setting the register channel 0 2050 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C0_SPEED for for the speed channel 0 2051 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C1_BASE for setting the register channel 1 2052 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C1_SPEED for for the speed channel 1 2053 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C2_BASE for setting the register channel 2 2054 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C2_SPEED for for the speed channel 2 2055 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C3_BASE for setting the register channel 3 2056 - CONFIG_SYS_RCAR_I2C3_SPEED for for the speed channel 3 2057 - CONFIF_SYS_RCAR_I2C_NUM_CONTROLLERS for number of i2c buses 2058 2059 additional defines: 2060 2061 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES 2062 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you 2063 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this 2064 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can 2065 omit this define. 2066 2067 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS 2068 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. 2069 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can 2070 omit this define. 2071 2072 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS 2073 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected 2074 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 2075 define. 2076 2077 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 2078 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if 2079 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 2080 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 2081 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 2082 2083 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2084 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 2085 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 2086 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 2087 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 2088 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 2089 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2090 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 2091 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 2092 } 2093 2094 which defines 2095 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 2096 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 2097 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 2098 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 2099 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 2100 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 2101 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 2102 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 2103 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 2104 2105 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 2106 2107- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C 2108 2109 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which 2110 provides the following compelling advantages: 2111 2112 - more than one i2c adapter is usable 2113 - approved multibus support 2114 - better i2c mux support 2115 2116 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** 2117 2118 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining 2119 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver 2120 for the selected CPU. 2121 2122 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 2123 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 2124 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 2125 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 2126 command line interface. 2127 2128 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 2129 2130 There are several other quantities that must also be 2131 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2132 2133 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 2134 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 2135 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 2136 the CPU's i2c node address). 2137 2138 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 2139 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 2140 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 2141 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 2142 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 2143 2144 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 2145 2146 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2147 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2148 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 2149 commands until the slave device responds. 2150 2151 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2152 2153 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 2154 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 2155 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 2156 2157 I2C_INIT 2158 2159 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 2160 controller or configure ports. 2161 2162 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 2163 2164 I2C_PORT 2165 2166 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2167 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2168 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2169 2170 I2C_ACTIVE 2171 2172 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2173 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2174 define can be null. 2175 2176 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2177 2178 I2C_TRISTATE 2179 2180 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2181 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2182 define can be null. 2183 2184 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2185 2186 I2C_READ 2187 2188 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2189 false if it is low. 2190 2191 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2192 2193 I2C_SDA(bit) 2194 2195 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2196 is false, it clears it (low). 2197 2198 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2199 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2200 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2201 2202 I2C_SCL(bit) 2203 2204 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2205 is false, it clears it (low). 2206 2207 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2208 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2209 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2210 2211 I2C_DELAY 2212 2213 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2214 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2215 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2216 like: 2217 2218 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2219 2220 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2221 2222 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2223 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2224 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2225 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2226 2227 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2228 the generic GPIO functions. 2229 2230 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2231 2232 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2233 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2234 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2235 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2236 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2237 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2238 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2239 is run early in the boot sequence. 2240 2241 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2242 2243 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2244 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2245 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2246 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2247 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2248 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2249 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2250 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2251 2252 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2253 2254 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2255 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2256 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2257 2258 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2259 2260 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2261 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2262 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2263 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2264 2265 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2266 2267 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2268 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2269 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2270 a 1D array of device addresses 2271 2272 e.g. 2273 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2274 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2275 2276 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2277 2278 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2279 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2280 2281 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2282 2283 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2284 2285 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2286 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2287 2288 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2289 2290 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2291 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2292 2293 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2294 2295 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2296 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2297 2298 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2299 2300 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2301 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2302 specified DTT device. 2303 2304 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2305 2306 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2307 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2308 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2309 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2310 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2311 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2312 the other. 2313 2314- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2315 2316 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2317 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2318 D/As on the SACSng board) 2319 2320 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2321 2322 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2323 only SH7757 is supported. 2324 2325 CONFIG_SPI_X 2326 2327 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2328 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2329 2330 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2331 2332 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2333 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2334 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2335 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2336 defined, the board configuration must define several 2337 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2338 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2339 2340 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2341 2342 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2343 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2344 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2345 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2346 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2347 2348 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2349 2350 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2351 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2352 2353- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2354 2355 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2356 2357 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2358 2359 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2360 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2361 2362 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2363 2364 Enables support for FPGA family. 2365 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2366 2367 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2368 2369 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2370 2371 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2372 2373 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2374 2375 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2376 2377 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2378 status by the configuration function. This option 2379 will require a board or device specific function to 2380 be written. 2381 2382 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2383 2384 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2385 configuration driver. 2386 2387 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2388 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2389 2390 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2391 2392 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2393 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2394 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2395 indicated a CRC error). 2396 2397 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2398 2399 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2400 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2401 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2402 ms. 2403 2404 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2405 2406 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2407 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2408 2409 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2410 2411 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2412 200 ms. 2413 2414- Configuration Management: 2415 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2416 2417 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2418 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2419 2420- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2421 2422 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2423 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2424 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2425 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2426 protects these variables from casual modification by 2427 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2428 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2429 change this behaviour: 2430 2431 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2432 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2433 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2434 these parameters. 2435 2436 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2437 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2438 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2439 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2440 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2441 read-only.] 2442 2443 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2444 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2445 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2446 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2447 2448- Protected RAM: 2449 CONFIG_PRAM 2450 2451 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2452 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2453 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2454 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2455 this default value by defining an environment 2456 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2457 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2458 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2459 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2460 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2461 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2462 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2463 2464 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2465 saveenv 2466 2467 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2468 either, which results in a memory region that will 2469 not be affected by reboots. 2470 2471 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2472 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2473 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2474 following board configurations are known to be 2475 "pRAM-clean": 2476 2477 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2478 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2479 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2480 2481- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2482 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2483 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2484 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2485 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2486 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2487 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2488 2489- Error Recovery: 2490 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2491 2492 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2493 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2494 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2495 system where you want the system to reboot 2496 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2497 useful during development since you can try to debug 2498 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2499 2500 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2501 2502 This variable defines the number of retries for 2503 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2504 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2505 default value of 5 is used. 2506 2507 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2508 2509 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2510 2511 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2512 2513 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2514 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2515 try longer timeout such as 2516 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2517 2518- Command Interpreter: 2519 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2520 2521 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2522 2523 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2524 for the "hush" shell. 2525 2526 2527 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2528 2529 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2530 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2531 powerful command line syntax like 2532 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2533 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2534 2535 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2536 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2537 2538 2539 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2540 2541 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2542 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2543 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2544 2545 Note: 2546 2547 In the current implementation, the local variables 2548 space and global environment variables space are 2549 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2550 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2551 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2552 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2553 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2554 2555 Global environment variables are those you use 2556 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2557 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2558 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2559 2560 To store commands and special characters in a 2561 variable, please use double quotation marks 2562 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2563 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2564 symbols. 2565 2566- Commandline Editing and History: 2567 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2568 2569 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2570 commandline input operations 2571 2572- Default Environment: 2573 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2574 2575 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2576 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2577 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2578 2579 For example, place something like this in your 2580 board's config file: 2581 2582 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2583 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2584 "myvar2=value2\0" 2585 2586 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2587 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2588 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2589 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2590 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2591 You better know what you are doing here. 2592 2593 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2594 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2595 the environment like the "source" command or the 2596 boot command first. 2597 2598 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2599 2600 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2601 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2602 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2603 2604 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2605 2606 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2607 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2608 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2609 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2610 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2611 2612 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2613 2614 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2615 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2616 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2617 2618 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2619 2620 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2621 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2622 that so that the environment is not available until 2623 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2624 this is instead controlled by the value of 2625 /config/load-environment. 2626 2627- DataFlash Support: 2628 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2629 2630 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2631 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2632 commands cp, md... 2633 2634- Serial Flash support 2635 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2636 2637 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2638 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2639 2640 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2641 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2642 commands. 2643 2644 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2645 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2646 flash is present on the system. 2647 2648 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2649 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2650 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2651 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2652 2653 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2654 2655 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2656 test ('sf test'). 2657 2658 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg 2659 2660 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr 2661 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. 2662 2663- SystemACE Support: 2664 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2665 2666 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2667 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2668 of the chip must also be defined in the 2669 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2670 2671 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2672 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2673 2674 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2675 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2676 2677- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2678 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2679 2680 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2681 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2682 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2683 number generator is used. 2684 2685 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2686 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2687 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2688 2689 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2690 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2691 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2692 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2693 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2694 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2695 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2696 2697- Hashing support: 2698 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 2699 2700 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 2701 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 2702 2703 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 2704 2705 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 2706 size a little. 2707 2708 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 2709 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 2710 2711 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 2712 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 2713 2714- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 2715 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 2716 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 2717 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 2718 2719 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 2720 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 2721 a boot from specific media. 2722 2723 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 2724 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 2725 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 2726 will set it back to normal. This command currently 2727 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 2728 2729- Signing support: 2730 CONFIG_RSA 2731 2732 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 2733 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage/signature for more information. 2734 2735 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 2736 option. 2737 2738 2739- Show boot progress: 2740 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2741 2742 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2743 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2744 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2745 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2746 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2747 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2748 2749- Detailed boot stage timing 2750 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 2751 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 2752 of the boot process. 2753 2754 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 2755 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 2756 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 2757 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 2758 the limit, recording will stop. 2759 2760 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 2761 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 2762 2763 Timer summary in microseconds: 2764 Mark Elapsed Stage 2765 0 0 reset 2766 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 2767 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 2768 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 2769 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 2770 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 2771 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 2772 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 2773 2774 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 2775 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 2776 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 2777 2778 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 2779 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 2780 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 2781 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 2782 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 2783 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 2784 For example: 2785 2786 bootstage { 2787 154 { 2788 name = "board_init_f"; 2789 mark = <3575678>; 2790 }; 2791 170 { 2792 name = "lcd"; 2793 accum = <33482>; 2794 }; 2795 }; 2796 2797 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 2798 2799Legacy uImage format: 2800 2801 Arg Where When 2802 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 2803 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

CONFIG_FIT 2954 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 2955 2956 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 2957 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 2958 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 2959 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 2960 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 2961 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 2962 2963 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 2964 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 2965 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See 2966 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 2967 2968- Standalone program support: 2969 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2970 2971 This option defines a board specific value for the 2972 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2973 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2974 settings. 2975 2976- Frame Buffer Address: 2977 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2978 2979 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2980 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 2981 when using a graphics controller has separate video 2982 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 2983 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 2984 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 2985 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 2986 configured panel size. 2987 2988 Please see board_init_f function. 2989 2990- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2991 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2992 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2993 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2994 2995 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2996 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2997 2998- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2999 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 3000 3001 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 3002 Needed for mtdparts command support. 3003 3004 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 3005 3006 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 3007 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 3008 3009- UBI support 3010 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 3011 3012 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 3013 with the UBI flash translation layer 3014 3015 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 3016 3017 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3018 3019 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 3020 warnings and errors enabled. 3021 3022- UBIFS support 3023 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 3024 3025 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 3026 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 3027 3028 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 3029 3030 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3031 3032 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 3033 warnings and errors enabled. 3034 3035- SPL framework 3036 CONFIG_SPL 3037 Enable building of SPL globally. 3038 3039 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 3040 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 3041 3042 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 3043 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 3044 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 3045 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3046 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3047 must not be both defined at the same time. 3048 3049 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 3050 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 3051 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 3052 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 3053 not exceed it. 3054 3055 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 3056 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 3057 3058 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 3059 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 3060 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 3061 3062 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 3063 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 3064 3065 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3066 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 3067 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 3068 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3069 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3070 must not be both defined at the same time. 3071 3072 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 3073 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 3074 3075 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 3076 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 3077 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 3078 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 3079 3080 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 3081 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3082 3083 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 3084 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3085 3086 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 3087 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 3088 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 3089 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 3090 3091 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 3092 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 3093 about the running system. 3094 3095 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 3096 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 3097 3098 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 3099 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 3100 3101 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 3102 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 3103 3104 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 3105 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 3106 3107 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 3108 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 3109 3110 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 3111 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 3112 3113 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3114 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3115 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FAT_BOOT_PARTITION 3116 Address, size and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3117 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3118 3119 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3120 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3121 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3122 3123 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3124 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3125 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3126 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3127 (for falcon mode) 3128 3129 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3130 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3131 3132 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3133 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from FAT 3134 3135 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3136 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3137 from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3138 3139 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3140 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3141 when reading from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3142 3143 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3144 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3145 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3146 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3147 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3148 3149 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3150 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3151 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3152 3153 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3154 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3155 3156 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3157 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3158 3159 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3160 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3161 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3162 3163 CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT 3164 Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for 3165 arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xxx/ddr/libddr.o in SPL binary. 3166 3167 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 3168 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 3169 SPL binary. 3170 3171 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3172 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3173 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3174 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3175 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3176 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3177 to read U-Boot 3178 3179 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3180 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3181 3182 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3183 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3184 3185 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3186 Size of image to load 3187 3188 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3189 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3190 3191 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3192 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3193 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 3194 3195 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3196 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3197 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3198 3199 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3200 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3201 3202 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3203 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3204 3205 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3206 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3207 3208 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3209 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3210 3211 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3212 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3213 3214 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3215 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3216 3217 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3218 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3219 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3220 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3221 3222 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3223 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3224 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3225 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3226 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3227 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3228 3229 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3230 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3231 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3232 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3233 3234 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3235 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3236 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3237 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3238 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3239 3240- TPL framework 3241 CONFIG_TPL 3242 Enable building of TPL globally. 3243 3244 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 3245 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 3246 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3247 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3248 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3249 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3250 3251Modem Support: 3252-------------- 3253 3254[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3255 3256- Modem support enable: 3257 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3258 3259- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3260 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3261 3262- Modem debug support: 3263 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3264 3265 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3266 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3267 3268- Interrupt support (PPC): 3269 3270 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3271 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3272 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3273 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3274 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3275 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3276 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3277 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3278 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3279 general timer_interrupt(). 3280 3281- General: 3282 3283 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3284 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3285 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3286 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3287 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3288 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3289 initialization. 3290 3291 If there are no modem init strings in the 3292 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3293 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3294 suppressed, though. 3295 3296 See also: doc/README.Modem 3297 3298Board initialization settings: 3299------------------------------ 3300 3301During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3302to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3303before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3304following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3305architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3306typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3307 3308- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3309- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3310- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3311- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3312 3313Configuration Settings: 3314----------------------- 3315 3316- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3317 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3318 3319- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3320 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3321 3322- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3323 prompt for user input. 3324 3325- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3326 3327- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3328 3329- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3330 3331- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3332 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3333 booted 3334 3335- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3336 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3337 3338- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3339 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3340 3341- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3342 If the board specific function 3343 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3344 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3345 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3346 3347- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3348 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3349 3350- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3351 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3352 3353- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3354 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3355 simple memory test. 3356 3357- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3358 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3359 3360- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3361 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3362 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3363 3364- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3365 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3366 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3367 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3368 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3369 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3370 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3371 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3372 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3373 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3374 3375 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3376 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3377 be touched. 3378 3379 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3380 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3381 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3382 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3383 problems. 3384 3385- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3386 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3387 3388- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3389 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3390 3391- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3392 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3393 Cogent motherboard) 3394 3395- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3396 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3397 3398- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3399 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3400 make config files to be same as the text base address 3401 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3402 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3403 3404- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3405 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3406 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3407 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3408 flash sector. 3409 3410- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3411 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3412 3413- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3414 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3415 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3416 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3417 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3418 3419- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3420 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3421 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3422 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3423 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3424 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3425 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3426 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3427 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3428 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3429 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3430 3431- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3432 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3433 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3434 is enabled. 3435 3436- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3437 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3438 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3439 3440- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3441 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3442 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3443 3444- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3445 Max number of Flash memory banks 3446 3447- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3448 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3449 3450- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3451 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3452 3453- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3454 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3455 3456- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3457 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3458 3459- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3460 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3461 3462- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3463 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3464 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3465 3466- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3467 3468 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3469 without this option such a download has to be 3470 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3471 copy from RAM to flash. 3472 3473 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3474 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3475 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3476 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3477 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3478 3479- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3480 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3481 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3482 3483- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3484 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3485 in the drivers directory 3486 3487- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3488 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3489 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3490 to the MTD layer. 3491 3492- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3493 Use buffered writes to flash. 3494 3495- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3496 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3497 write commands. 3498 3499- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3500 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3501 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3502 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3503 optionally available. 3504 3505- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3506 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3507 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3508 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3509 3510- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 3511 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 3512 against the source after the write operation. An error message 3513 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 3514 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 3515 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 3516 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 3517 this option if you really know what you are doing. 3518 3519- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3520 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3521 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3522 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3523 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3524 on high Ethernet traffic. 3525 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3526 3527- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3528 3529 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3530 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3531 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3532 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3533 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3534 3535- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3536- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3537 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 3538 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3539 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3540 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3541 3542 The format of the list is: 3543 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3544 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3545 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3546 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3547 list = entry[,list] 3548 3549 The type attributes are: 3550 s - String (default) 3551 d - Decimal 3552 x - Hexadecimal 3553 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3554 i - IP address 3555 m - MAC address 3556 3557 The access attributes are: 3558 a - Any (default) 3559 r - Read-only 3560 o - Write-once 3561 c - Change-default 3562 3563 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3564 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3565 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3566 3567 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3568 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3569 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3570 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 3571 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 3572 ".flags" variable. 3573 3574- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 3575 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 3576 access flags. 3577 3578- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 3579 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 3580 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 3581 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 3582 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 3583 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 3584 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 3585 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 3586 your board please report the problem and send patches! 3587 3588- CONFIG_SYS_SYM_OFFSETS 3589 This is set by architectures that use offsets for link symbols 3590 instead of absolute values. So bss_start is obtained using an 3591 offset _bss_start_ofs from CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE, rather than 3592 directly. You should not need to touch this setting. 3593 3594- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 3595 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 3596 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 3597 the value can be calulated on a given board. 3598 3599The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 3600of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 3601following configurations: 3602 3603- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 3604 3605 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 3606 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 3607 3608- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 3609 3610 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 3611 3612 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 3613 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 3614 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 3615 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 3616 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 3617 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 3618 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 3619 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 3620 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 3621 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 3622 between U-Boot and the environment. 3623 3624 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3625 3626 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 3627 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 3628 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 3629 for this sector is given here. 3630 3631 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 3632 3633 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3634 3635 This is just another way to specify the start address of 3636 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 3637 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 3638 3639 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 3640 3641 Size of the sector containing the environment. 3642 3643 3644 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 3645 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 3646 the environment. 3647 3648 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3649 3650 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 3651 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 3652 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 3653 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 3654 3655 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 3656 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 3657 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 3658 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 3659 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 3660 updating the environment in flash makes it always 3661 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 3662 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 3663 RAM, your target system will be dead. 3664 3665 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 3666 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 3667 3668 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 3669 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 3670 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 3671 a "saveenv" operation. 3672 3673BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 3674source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 3675accordingly! 3676 3677 3678- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 3679 3680 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 3681 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 3682 environment. 3683 3684 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3685 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3686 3687 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 3688 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 3689 can just be read and written to, without any special 3690 provision. 3691 3692BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3693in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3694console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3695U-Boot will hang. 3696 3697Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3698environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3699keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3700to save the current settings. 3701 3702 3703- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 3704 3705 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 3706 device and a driver for it. 3707 3708 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3709 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3710 3711 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 3712 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 3713 3714 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 3715 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 3716 The default address is zero. 3717 3718 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 3719 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 3720 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 3721 would require six bits. 3722 3723 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 3724 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 3725 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 3726 3727 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 3728 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 3729 that this is NOT the chip address length! 3730 3731 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 3732 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 3733 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 3734 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 3735 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 3736 byte chips. 3737 3738 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 3739 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 3740 in the chip address. 3741 3742 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 3743 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 3744 3745 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 3746 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 3747 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 3748 3749 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 3750 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 3751 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 3752 EEPROM. For example: 3753 3754 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 3755 3756 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 3757 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 3758 3759- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 3760 3761 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 3762 want to use for the environment. 3763 3764 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3765 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3766 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3767 3768 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 3769 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 3770 at the specified address. 3771 3772- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 3773 3774 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 3775 want to use for the local device's environment. 3776 3777 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 3778 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3779 3780 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 3781 environment area within the remote memory space. The 3782 local device can get the environment from remote memory 3783 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 3784 3785BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3786"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3787environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3788but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3789 3790- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 3791 3792 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 3793 for the environment. 3794 3795 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3796 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3797 3798 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3799 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 3800 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3801 3802 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3803 3804 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 3805 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 3806 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 3807 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 3808 aligned to an erase block boundary. 3809 3810 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 3811 3812 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 3813 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 3814 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 3815 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 3816 the range to be avoided. 3817 3818 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 3819 3820 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 3821 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 3822 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 3823 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 3824 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 3825 3826- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3827 3828 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3829 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3830 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3831 3832- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 3833 3834 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 3835 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 3836 accesses, which is important on NAND. 3837 3838 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 3839 3840 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 3841 3842 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 3843 3844 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 3845 environment in. 3846 3847 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 3848 3849 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 3850 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 3851 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 3852 3853 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3854 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3855 3856 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 3857 when storing the env in UBI. 3858 3859- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 3860 3861 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 3862 environment. 3863 3864 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 3865 3866 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 3867 3868 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 3869 3870 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 3871 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 3872 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 3873 3874 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 3875 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 3876 3877 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 3878 area within the specified MMC device. 3879 3880 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 3881 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 3882 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 3883 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 3884 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 3885 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 3886 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 3887 3888 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 3889 MMC sector boundary. 3890 3891 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 3892 3893 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 3894 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 3895 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 3896 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 3897 3898 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 3899 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 3900 3901 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 3902 an MMC sector boundary. 3903 3904 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 3905 3906 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 3907 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 3908 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3909 3910- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 3911 3912 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 3913 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 3914 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 3915 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 3916 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 3917 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 3918 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 3919 3920Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3921has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3922created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 3923until then to read environment variables. 3924 3925The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3926is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3927with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3928necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3929"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3930have any device yet where we could complain.] 3931 3932Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3933the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3934use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3935 3936- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3937 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3938 3939 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3940 also needs to be defined. 3941 3942- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3943 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3944 3945- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3946 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3947 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3948 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3949 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3950 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3951 3952- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 3953 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 3954 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 3955 to do this. 3956 3957- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 3958 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 3959 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 3960 present. 3961 3962Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3963--------------------------------------------------- 3964 3965- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3966 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3967 3968- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 3969 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 3970 3971 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 3972 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 3973 the IMMR register after a reset. 3974 3975- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 3976 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 3977 PowerPC SOCs. 3978 3979- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 3980 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 3981 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 3982 3983 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 3984 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 3985 3986- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 3987 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 3988 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 3989 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 3990 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 3991 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 3992 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 3993 3994 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 3995 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 3996 3997- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 3998 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 3999 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 4000 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4001 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4002 4003- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 4004 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 4005 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4006 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4007 4008- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 4009 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 4010 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 4011 4012- Floppy Disk Support: 4013 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 4014 4015 the default drive number (default value 0) 4016 4017 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 4018 4019 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 4020 (default value 1) 4021 4022 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 4023 4024 defines the offset of register from address. It 4025 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 4026 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 4027 4028 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 4029 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 4030 default value. 4031 4032 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 4033 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 4034 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 4035 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 4036 initializations. 4037 4038- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 4039 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 4040 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 4041 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 4042 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 4043 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 4044 is requierd. 4045 4046- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 4047 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 4048 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 4049 4050- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 4051 4052 Start address of memory area that can be used for 4053 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 4054 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 4055 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 4056 will become available only after programming the 4057 memory controller and running certain initialization 4058 sequences. 4059 4060 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 4061 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 4062 - MPC824X: data cache 4063 - PPC4xx: data cache 4064 4065- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 4066 4067 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 4068 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 4069 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 4070 data is located at the end of the available space 4071 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 4072 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 4073 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 4074 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 4075 4076 Note: 4077 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 4078 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 4079 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 4080 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 4081 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 4082 4083- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 4084 4085- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 4086 4087- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 4088 4089- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 4090 4091- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 4092 4093- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 4094 4095- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 4096 SDRAM timing 4097 4098- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 4099 periodic timer for refresh 4100 4101- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 4102 4103- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 4104 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 4105 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 4106 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 4107 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 4108 4109- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 4110 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 4111 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 4112 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 4113 4114- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 4115 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 4116 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 4117 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 4118 4119- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4120 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4121 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 4122 4123- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4124 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4125 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 4126 4127- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4128 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4129 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 4130 4131- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4132 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 4133 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 4134 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 4135 4136- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 4137 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 4138 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 4139 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 4140 cpm_8260.h. 4141 4142- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4143 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 4144 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 4145 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4146 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 4147 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 4148 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 4149 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 4150 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 4151 4152- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 4153 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 4154 required. 4155 4156- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 4157 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 4158 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 4159 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 4160 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4161 by coreboot or similar. 4162 4163- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4164 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4165 4166- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4167 Chip has SRIO or not 4168 4169- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4170 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4171 4172- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4173 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4174 4175- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4176 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4177 4178- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4179 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4180 4181- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4182 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4183 4184- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4185 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4186 4187- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4188 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4189 a 16 bit bus. 4190 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4191 Example of drivers that use it: 4192 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4193 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4194 4195- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4196 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4197 a default value will be used. 4198 4199- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4200 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4201 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4202 4203 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4204 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4205 4206- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4207 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4208 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4209 to something your driver can deal with. 4210 4211- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4212 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4213 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4214 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4215 header files or board specific files. 4216 4217- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4218 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4219 4220- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4221 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4222 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4223 4224- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4225 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4226 4227- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4228 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4229 to the given FEC; i. e. 4230 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4231 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4232 4233 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4234 4235- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4236 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4237 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4238 4239- CONFIG_RMII 4240 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4241 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4242 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4243 4244- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4245 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4246 The syntax is: 4247 4248 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4249 4250 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4251 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4252 area should have. 4253 4254- CONFIG_LOOPW 4255 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4256 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4257 4258- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4259 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4260 "md/mw" commands. 4261 Examples: 4262 4263 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4264 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4265 4266 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4267 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4268 4269 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4270 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4271 4272- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4273 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4274 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4275 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4276 relocate itself into RAM. 4277 4278 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4279 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4280 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4281 these initializations itself. 4282 4283- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4284 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4285 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4286 compiling a NAND SPL. 4287 4288- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 4289 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4290 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 4291 It is loaded by the SPL. 4292 4293- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4294 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4295 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4296 previous 4k of the .text section. 4297 4298- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4299 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4300 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4301 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4302 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4303 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4304 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4305 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4306 4307- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4308 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4309 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4310 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4311 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4312 4313- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4314 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4315 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4316 4317- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4318 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4319 4320 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4321 4322- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC: 4323 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms 4324 4325Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4326----------------------------------- 4327 4328The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4329loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4330This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4331are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4332within that device. 4333 4334- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 4335 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 4336 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4337 is also specified. 4338 4339- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 4340 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4341 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4342 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4343 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4344 4345- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 4346 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4347 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 4348 virtual address in NOR flash. 4349 4350- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 4351 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 4352 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 4353 4354- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4355 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4356 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4357 4358- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4359 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4360 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4361 4362- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4363 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4364 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4365 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4366 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4367 master's memory space. 4368 4369Building the Software: 4370====================== 4371 4372Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4373and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4374all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4375(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4376recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4377which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4378 4379If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4380have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4381you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4382Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4383necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4384 4385 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4386 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4387 4388Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4389 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4390 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4391 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4392 4393 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4394 4395 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4396 be executed on computers running Windows. 4397 4398U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4399sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4400is done by typing: 4401 4402 make NAME_config 4403 4404where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4405rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4406 4407Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4408 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4409 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4410 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4411 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4412 4413 make TQM823L_config 4414 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4415 4416 make TQM823L_LCD_config 4417 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4418 4419 etc. 4420 4421 4422Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4423images ready for download to / installation on your system: 4424 4425- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 4426- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 4427- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 4428 4429By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 4430in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 4431this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 4432 44331. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 4434 4435 make O=/tmp/build distclean 4436 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 4437 make O=/tmp/build all 4438 44392. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 4440 4441 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4442 make distclean 4443 make NAME_config 4444 make all 4445 4446Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 4447variable. 4448 4449 4450Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 4451for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 4452native "make". 4453 4454 4455If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 4456to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 4457steps: 4458 44591. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 4460 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 4461 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 44622. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 4463 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 4464 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 44653. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 4466 your board 44673. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 4468 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 44694. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 44705. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 4471 to be installed on your target system. 44726. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 4473 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 4474 4475 4476Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 4477============================================================== 4478 4479If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 4480or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 4481provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 4482the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 4483official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 4484 4485But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 4486cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 4487the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 4488just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 4489for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 4490select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 4491environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 4492you can type 4493 4494 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4495 4496or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 4497 4498 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 4499 4500When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 4501U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 4502setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 4503built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 4504<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 4505location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 4506variable. For example: 4507 4508 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4509 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 4510 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 4511 4512With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 4513log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 4514during the whole build process. 4515 4516 4517See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 4518 4519 4520Monitor Commands - Overview: 4521============================ 4522 4523go - start application at address 'addr' 4524run - run commands in an environment variable 4525bootm - boot application image from memory 4526bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 4527bootz - boot zImage from memory 4528tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 4529 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 4530 (and eventually "gatewayip") 4531tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 4532rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 4533diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 4534loads - load S-Record file over serial line 4535loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 4536md - memory display 4537mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 4538nm - memory modify (constant address) 4539mw - memory write (fill) 4540cp - memory copy 4541cmp - memory compare 4542crc32 - checksum calculation 4543i2c - I2C sub-system 4544sspi - SPI utility commands 4545base - print or set address offset 4546printenv- print environment variables 4547setenv - set environment variables 4548saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 4549protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 4550erase - erase FLASH memory 4551flinfo - print FLASH memory information 4552nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 4553bdinfo - print Board Info structure 4554iminfo - print header information for application image 4555coninfo - print console devices and informations 4556ide - IDE sub-system 4557loop - infinite loop on address range 4558loopw - infinite write loop on address range 4559mtest - simple RAM test 4560icache - enable or disable instruction cache 4561dcache - enable or disable data cache 4562reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 4563echo - echo args to console 4564version - print monitor version 4565help - print online help 4566? - alias for 'help' 4567 4568 4569Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 4570======================================== 4571 4572TODO. 4573 4574For now: just type "help <command>". 4575 4576 4577Environment Variables: 4578====================== 4579 4580U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 4581can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 4582 4583Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 4584"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 4585without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 4586environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 4587working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 4588environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 4589 4590Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 4591 4592List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 4593 4594 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 4595 4596 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 4597 4598 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 4599 4600 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 4601 4602 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 4603 4604 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4605 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4606 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 4607 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 4608 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 4609 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 4610 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 4611 bootm_mapsize. 4612 4613 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 4614 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 4615 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 4616 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 4617 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 4618 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 4619 used otherwise. 4620 4621 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 4622 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 4623 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 4624 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 4625 environment variable. 4626 4627 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 4628 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 4629 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 4630 4631 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 4632 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 4633 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 4634 load any image using TFTP 4635 4636 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 4637 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 4638 be automatically started (by internally calling 4639 "bootm") 4640 4641 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 4642 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 4643 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 4644 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 4645 data. 4646 4647 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 4648 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 4649 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 4650 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 4651 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 4652 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 4653 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 4654 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 4655 access it during the boot procedure. 4656 4657 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 4658 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 4659 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 4660 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 4661 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 4662 must be accessible by the kernel. 4663 4664 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 4665 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 4666 defined. 4667 4668 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 4669 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 4670 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 4671 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 4672 it must be saved and board must be reset. 4673 4674 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 4675 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 4676 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 4677 is usually what you want since it allows for 4678 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 4679 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 4680 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 4681 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 4682 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 4683 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 4684 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 4685 4686 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 4687 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 4688 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 4689 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 4690 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 4691 12 MB as well - this can be done with 4692 4693 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 4694 4695 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 4696 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 4697 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 4698 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 4699 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 4700 boot time on your system, but requires that this 4701 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 4702 4703 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4704 4705 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 4706 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 4707 4708 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 4709 4710 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 4711 4712 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 4713 4714 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 4715 4716 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 4717 4718 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 4719 4720 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 4721 For example you can do the following 4722 4723 => setenv ethact FEC 4724 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 4725 => setenv ethact SCC 4726 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 4727 4728 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 4729 available network interfaces. 4730 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 4731 4732 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 4733 either succeed or fail without retrying. 4734 When set to "once" the network operation will 4735 fail when all the available network interfaces 4736 are tried once without success. 4737 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 4738 themselves. 4739 4740 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 4741 4742 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by 4743 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 4744 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 4745 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 4746 is silent. 4747 4748 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 4749 UDP source port. 4750 4751 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 4752 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 4753 4754 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 4755 we use the TFTP server's default block size 4756 4757 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 4758 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 4759 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 4760 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 4761 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 4762 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 4763 with unreliable TFTP servers. 4764 4765 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 4766 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 4767 VLAN tagged frames. 4768 4769The following image location variables contain the location of images 4770used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 4771not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 4772variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 4773server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 4774loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 4775flash or offset in NAND flash. 4776 4777*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 4778boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 4779boards use these variables for other purposes. 4780 4781Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 4782----- --------- ----------- -------------- 4783u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 4784Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 4785device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 4786ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 4787 4788The following environment variables may be used and automatically 4789updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 4790depending the information provided by your boot server: 4791 4792 bootfile - see above 4793 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 4794 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 4795 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 4796 hostname - Target hostname 4797 ipaddr - see above 4798 netmask - Subnet Mask 4799 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 4800 serverip - see above 4801 4802 4803There are two special Environment Variables: 4804 4805 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 4806 as type string and/or serial number 4807 ethaddr - Ethernet address 4808 4809These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 4810the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 4811once they have been set once. 4812 4813 4814Further special Environment Variables: 4815 4816 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 4817 with the "version" command. This variable is 4818 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 4819 4820 4821Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 4822only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 4823 4824 4825Callback functions for environment variables: 4826--------------------------------------------- 4827 4828For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 4829when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 4830be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 4831deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 4832effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 4833 4834The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 4835U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 4836 4837These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 4838static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 4839in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 4840associations. The list must be in the following format: 4841 4842 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 4843 list = entry[,list] 4844 4845If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 4846Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 4847 4848Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 4849with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 4850override any association in the static list. You can define 4851CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 4852".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4853 4854 4855Command Line Parsing: 4856===================== 4857 4858There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 4859the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 4860 4861Old, simple command line parser: 4862-------------------------------- 4863 4864- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 4865- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4866- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4867- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4868 for example: 4869 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4870- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4871 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4872 4873Hush shell: 4874----------- 4875 4876- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4877 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4878 until...do...done, ... 4879- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4880 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4881 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4882 command 4883 4884General rules: 4885-------------- 4886 4887(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4888 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4889 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4890 executed anyway. 4891 4892(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4893 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4894 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4895 variables are not executed. 4896 4897Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4898======================================= 4899 4900Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4901such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4902"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4903 4904Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4905MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4906"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4907 4908If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4909in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4910ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4911variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4912 4913o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4914 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4915 4916o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4917 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4918 used. 4919 4920o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4921 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4922 4923o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4924 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4925 warning is printed. 4926 4927o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4928 is raised. 4929 4930If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4931will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4932may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4933The naming convention is as follows: 4934"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4935 4936Image Formats: 4937============== 4938 4939U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4940images in two formats: 4941 4942New uImage format (FIT) 4943----------------------- 4944 4945Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4946to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4947components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4948SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4949 4950 4951Old uImage format 4952----------------- 4953 4954Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4955preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4956details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4957 4958* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4959 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4960 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4961 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4962 INTEGRITY). 4963* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 4964 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4965 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4966* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4967* Load Address 4968* Entry Point 4969* Image Name 4970* Image Timestamp 4971 4972The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4973and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4974CRC32 checksums. 4975 4976 4977Linux Support: 4978============== 4979 4980Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4981easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4982U-Boot. 4983 4984U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4985special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4986"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4987instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4988serves several purposes: 4989 4990- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4991 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4992 Flash memory footprint) 4993 4994- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4995 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4996 4997- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4998 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4999 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 5000 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 5001 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 5002 software is easier now. 5003 5004 5005Linux HOWTO: 5006============ 5007 5008Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 5009--------------------------------------- 5010 5011U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 5012configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 5013(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 5014Linux :-). 5015 5016But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 5017 5018Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 5019include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 5020Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 5021and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 5022as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 5023 5024 5025Configuring the Linux kernel: 5026----------------------------- 5027 5028No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 5029device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 5030 5031 5032Building a Linux Image: 5033----------------------- 5034 5035With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 5036not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 5037"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 5038U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 5039which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 5040100% compatible format. 5041 5042Example: 5043 5044 make TQM850L_config 5045 make oldconfig 5046 make dep 5047 make uImage 5048 5049The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 5050encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 5051CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 5052 5053* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 5054 5055* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 5056 5057 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 5058 -R .note -R .comment \ 5059 -S vmlinux linux.bin 5060 5061* compress the binary image: 5062 5063 gzip -9 linux.bin 5064 5065* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 5066 5067 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 5068 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 5069 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 5070 5071 5072The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 5073with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 5074combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 5075byte header containing information about target architecture, 5076operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 5077stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 5078 5079"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 5080print the header information, or to build new images. 5081 5082In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 5083contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 5084checksum verification: 5085 5086 tools/mkimage -l image 5087 -l ==> list image header information 5088 5089The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 5090from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 5091 5092 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 5093 -n name -d data_file image 5094 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 5095 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 5096 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5097 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 5098 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 5099 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 5100 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 5101 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 5102 5103Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 5104address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 5105kernel version: 5106 5107- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 5108- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 5109 5110So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 5111 5112 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5113 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 5114 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 5115 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 5116 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5117 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5118 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5119 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5120 Load Address: 0x00000000 5121 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5122 5123To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 5124 5125 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 5126 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5127 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5128 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5129 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5130 Load Address: 0x00000000 5131 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5132 5133NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 5134speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 5135needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 5136need to be uncompressed: 5137 5138 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 5139 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5140 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 5141 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 5142 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 5143 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5144 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5145 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5146 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5147 Load Address: 0x00000000 5148 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5149 5150 5151Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5152when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5153 5154 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5155 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5156 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5157 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 5158 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 5159 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 5160 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 5161 Load Address: 0x00000000 5162 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5163 5164 5165Installing a Linux Image: 5166------------------------- 5167 5168To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 5169you must convert the image to S-Record format: 5170 5171 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 5172 5173The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 5174image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 5175address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 5356 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 5357 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 5358 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 5359 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 5360 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5361 being started. 5362 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5363 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5364 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5365 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5366 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5367 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5368 5369 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5370 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5371 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5372 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5373 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5374 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5375 5376 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5377 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5378 flash memory. 5379 5380 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5381 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5382 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5383 as command interpreter. 5384 5385Booting the Linux zImage: 5386------------------------- 5387 5388On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5389using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5390as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5391 5392Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 5393kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5394address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5395format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5396 5397 5398Standalone HOWTO: 5399================= 5400 5401One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5402run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5403U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5404 5405Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5406 5407"Hello World" Demo: 5408------------------- 5409 5410'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 5411application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 5412It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 5413like that: 5414 5415 => loads 5416 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5417 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 5418 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5419 [file transfer complete] 5420 [connected] 5421 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5422 5423 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 5444controlled by the following keys: 5445 5446 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 5447 b - enable interrupts and start timer 5448 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 5449 q - quit application 5450 5451 => loads 5452 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5453 ~>examples/timer.srec 5454 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5455 [file transfer complete] 5456 [connected] 5457 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5458 5459 => go 40004 5460 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 5461 TIMERS=0xfff00980 5462 Using timer 1 5463 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 5464 5465Hit 'b': 5466 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 5467 Enabling timer 5468Hit '?': 5469 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 5470 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 5471Hit '?': 5472 [q, b, e, ?] . 5473 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 5474Hit '?': 5475 [q, b, e, ?] . 5476 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 5477Hit '?': 5478 [q, b, e, ?] . 5479 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 5480Hit 'e': 5481 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 5482Hit 'q': 5483 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 5484 5485 5486Minicom warning: 5487================ 5488 5489Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 5490"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 5491consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 5492Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 5493especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 5494use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 5495http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 5496for help with kermit. 5497 5498 5499Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 5500configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 5501 5502 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 5519 5520 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 5521 # mkdir powerpc 5522 # ln -s powerpc machine 5523 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 5524 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 5525 5526Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 5527and U-Boot include files. 5528 5529Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 5530stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 5531proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 5532tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 5533meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 5534 5535 5536Implementation Internals: 5537========================= 5538 5539The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 5540implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 5541inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 5542hardware. 5543 5544 5545Initial Stack, Global Data: 5546--------------------------- 5547 5548The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 5549starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 5550system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 5551This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 5552is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 5553at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 5554options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 5555models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 5556MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 5557locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 5558 5559 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 5560 U-Boot mailing list: 5561 5562 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 5563 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 5564 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 5565 ... 5566 5567 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 5568 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 5569 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 5570 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 5571 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 5572 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 5573 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 5574 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 5575 5576 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 5577 is another option for the system designer to use as an 5578 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 5579 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 5580 board designers haven't used it for something that would 5581 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 5582 used. 5583 5584 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 5585 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 5586 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 5587 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 5588 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 5589 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 5590 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 5591 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 5592 you get the config right. 5593 5594 -Chris Hallinan 5595 DS4.COM, Inc. 5596 5597It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 5598code for the initialization procedures: 5599 5600* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 5601 to write it. 5602 5603* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 5604 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 5605 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 5606 5607* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 5608 that. 5609 5610Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 5611normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 5612turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 5613simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 5614functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 5615functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 5616the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 5617place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 5618reserve for this purpose. 5619 5620When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 5621relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 5622GCC's implementation. 5623 5624For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 5625 R1: stack pointer 5626 R2: reserved for system use 5627 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 5628 R5-R10: parameter passing 5629 R13: small data area pointer 5630 R30: GOT pointer 5631 R31: frame pointer 5632 5633 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 5634 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 5635 going back and forth between asm and C) 5636 5637 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 5638 5639 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 5640 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 5641 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 5642 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 5643 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 5644 624 text + 127 data). 5645 5646On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 5647 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 5648 5649 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 5650 5651On ARM, the following registers are used: 5652 5653 R0: function argument word/integer result 5654 R1-R3: function argument word 5655 R9: platform specific 5656 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 5657 R11: argument (frame) pointer 5658 R12: temporary workspace 5659 R13: stack pointer 5660 R14: link register 5661 R15: program counter 5662 5663 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 5664 5665 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 5666 5667On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 5668 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 5669 5670 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 5671 5672 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 5673 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 5674 5675On NDS32, the following registers are used: 5676 5677 R0-R1: argument/return 5678 R2-R5: argument 5679 R15: temporary register for assembler 5680 R16: trampoline register 5681 R28: frame pointer (FP) 5682 R29: global pointer (GP) 5683 R30: link register (LP) 5684 R31: stack pointer (SP) 5685 PC: program counter (PC) 5686 5687 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 5688 5689NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 5690or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 5691 5692Memory Management: 5693------------------ 5694 5695U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 5696MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 5697 5698The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 5699controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 5700memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 5701physical memory banks. 5702 5703U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 5704TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 5705booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 5706to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 5707memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 5708configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 5709Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 5710 5711Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 5712of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 5713 5714So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 5715this: 5716 5717 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 5718 : 5719 0x0000 1FFF 5720 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 5721 : 5722 : 5723 5724 : 5725 : 5726 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 5727 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 5728 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 5729 : 5730 0x00FD FFFF 5731 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 5732 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 5733 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 5734 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 5735 5736 5737System Initialization: 5738---------------------- 5739 5740In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 5741(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 5742configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 5743To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 5744To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 5745initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 5746which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 5747part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 5748the caches and the SIU. 5749 5750Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 5751preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 5752(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 5753on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 5754programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 5755simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 5756banks. 5757 5758When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 5759different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 5760bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 57610x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 5762contiguous memory starting from 0. 5763 5764Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 5765and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 5766Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 5767pages, and the final stack is set up. 5768 5769Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 5770until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 5771running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 5772new address in RAM. 5773 5774 5775U-Boot Porting Guide: 5776---------------------- 5777 5778[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 5779list, October 2002] 5780 5781 5782int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 5783{ 5784 sighandler_t no_more_time; 5785 5786 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 5787 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 5788 5789 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 5790 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 5791 return 0; 5792 } 5793 5794 Download latest U-Boot source; 5795 5796 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 5797 5798 if (clueless) 5799 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 5800 5801 while (learning) { 5802 Read the README file in the top level directory; 5803 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 5804 Read applicable doc/*.README; 5805 Read the source, Luke; 5806 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 5807 } 5808 5809 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 5810 Buy a BDI3000; 5811 else 5812 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 5813 5814 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 5815 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 5816 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 5817 } else { 5818 Create your own board support subdirectory; 5819 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 5820 } 5821 Edit new board/<myboard> files 5822 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 5823 5824 while (!accepted) { 5825 while (!running) { 5826 do { 5827 Add / modify source code; 5828 } until (compiles); 5829 Debug; 5830 if (clueless) 5831 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 5832 } 5833 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 5834 if (reasonable critiques) 5835 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 5836 else 5837 Defend code as written; 5838 } 5839 5840 return 0; 5841} 5842 5843void no_more_time (int sig) 5844{ 5845 hire_a_guru(); 5846} 5847 5848 5849Coding Standards: 5850----------------- 5851 5852All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5853coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 5854"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5855 5856Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5857MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5858reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5859sources. 5860 5861Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5862Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5863in your code. 5864 5865Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5866- remove any trailing white space 5867- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5868- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5869- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5870- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5871 5872Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5873with a request to reformat the changes. 5874 5875 5876Submitting Patches: 5877------------------- 5878 5879Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5880establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5881may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5882 5883Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5884 5885Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5886see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 5887 5888When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5889it: 5890 5891* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5892 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5893 patch actually fixes something. 5894 5895* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5896 implementation. 5897 5898* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5899 5900* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 5901 5902* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a 5903 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. 5904 5905* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5906 document these in the README file. 5907 5908* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5909 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5910 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5911 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5912 with some other mail clients. 5913 5914 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5915 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5916 GNU diff. 5917 5918 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5919 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5920 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5921 affected files). 5922 5923 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5924 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5925 5926* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5927 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5928 5929* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5930 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5931 5932 5933Notes: 5934 5935* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 5936 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5937 for any of the boards. 5938 5939* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5940 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5941 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5942 5943* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5944 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5945 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5946 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5947 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5948 modification. 5949 5950* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5951 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5952 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5953 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5954
