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>.

the 229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 230 231There are two classes of configuration variables: 232 233* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 235 "CONFIG_". 236 237* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 240 "CONFIG_SYS_". 241 242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 246as an example here. 247 248 249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 250--------------------------------------------------- 251 252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig". 254 255Example: For a TQM823L module type: 256 257 cd u-boot 258 make TQM823L_defconfig 259 260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent 262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 263 264 265Sandbox Environment: 266-------------------- 267 268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox' 269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture- 270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to 271run some of U-Boot's tests. 272 273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details. 274 275 276Board Initialisation Flow: 277-------------------------- 278 279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both 280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL 281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each 282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this. 283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this. 284 285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after 286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below. 287 288lowlevel_init(): 289 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f() 290 - no global_data or BSS 291 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed) 292 - must not set up SDRAM or use console 293 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to 294 board_init_f() 295 - this is almost never needed 296 - return normally from this function 297 298board_init_f(): 299 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r(): 300 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART 301 - global_data is available 302 - stack is in SRAM 303 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables, 304 only stack variables and global_data 305 306 Non-SPL-specific notes: 307 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this 308 can do nothing 309 310 SPL-specific notes: 311 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own 312 version as needed. 313 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis 314 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work 315 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S 316 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r() 317 directly) 318 319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at 320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below 321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of 322memory. 323 324board_init_r(): 325 - purpose: main execution, common code 326 - global_data is available 327 - SDRAM is available 328 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used 329 - execution eventually continues to main_loop() 330 331 Non-SPL-specific notes: 332 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from 333 there. 334 335 SPL-specific notes: 336 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and 337 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM 338 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is 339 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a 340 spl_board_init() function containing this call 341 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux 342 343 344 345Configuration Options: 346---------------------- 347 348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 349such information is kept in a configuration file 350"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 351 352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 353"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 354 355 356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 358build a config tool - later. 359 360 361The following options need to be configured: 362 363- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 364 365- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 366 367- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 368 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 369 370- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 371 Define exactly one of 372 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 373--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 374 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 375 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 376 377- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 378 Define exactly one of 379 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 380 381- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 382 Define one or more of 383 CONFIG_CMA302 384 385- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 386 Define one or more of 387 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 388 the LCD display every second with 389 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 390 391- Marvell Family Member 392 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 393 multiple fs option at one time 394 for marvell soc family 395 396- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 397 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 398 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 399 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 400 reference PIT/RTC clock 401 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 402 or XTAL/EXTAL) 403 404- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 405 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 406 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 407 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 408 See doc/README.MPC866 409 410 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 411 412 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 413 of relying on the correctness of the configured 414 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 415 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 416 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 417 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 418 419 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 420 421 Define this option if you want to enable the 422 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 423 424- 85xx CPU Options: 425 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 426 427 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 428 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 429 compliance, among other possible reasons. 430 431 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 432 433 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 434 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 435 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 436 437 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 438 439 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 440 tree nodes for the given platform. 441 442 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 443 444 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 445 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 446 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 447 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 448 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 449 purpose. 450 451 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 452 453 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 454 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 455 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 456 457 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 458 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 459 460 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 461 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 462 463 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 464 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 465 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 466 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 467 468 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 469 this erratum. 470 471 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 472 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 473 required during NOR boot. 474 475 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND 476 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only 477 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision 478 479 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 480 481 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 482 according to the A004510 workaround. 483 484 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR 485 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is 486 connected exclusively to the DSP cores. 487 488 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 489 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 490 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 491 492 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR 493 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly 494 connected to the DSP core. 495 496 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 497 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 498 499 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK 500 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's. 501 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply 502 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock. 503 504 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F 505 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the 506 time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized. 507 508 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP 509 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is 510 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up. 511 512- Generic CPU options: 513 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA 514 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f(). 515 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in 516 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board 517 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f(). 518 519 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 520 521 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 522 values is arch specific. 523 524 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR 525 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is 526 found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core 527 SoCs. 528 529 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_ADDR 530 Freescale DDR memory-mapped register base. 531 532 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 533 Specify emulator support for DDR.

It can be enabled for SoCs with 553 Freescale DDR1 or DDR2 controllers, depending on the board 554 implemetation. 555 556 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2 557 Board config to use DDR2. It can be eanbeld for SoCs with 558 Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board 559 implementation. 560 561 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3 562 Board config to use DDR3. It can be enabled for SoCs with 563 Freescale DDR3 or DDR3L controllers. 564 565 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3L 566 Board config to use DDR3L. It can be enabled for SoCs with 567 DDR3L controllers. 568 569 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR4 570 Board config to use DDR4. It can be enabled for SoCs with 571 DDR4 controllers. 572 573 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_IFC_BE 574 Defines the IFC controller register space as Big Endian 575 576 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_IFC_LE 577 Defines the IFC controller register space as Little Endian 578 579 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_PBI 580 It enables addition of RCW (Power on reset configuration) in built image. 581 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details 582 583 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PBL_RCW 584 It adds PBI(pre-boot instructions) commands in u-boot build image. 585 PBI commands can be used to configure SoC before it starts the execution. 586 Please refer doc/README.pblimage for more details 587 588 CONFIG_SPL_FSL_PBL 589 It adds a target to create boot binary having SPL binary in PBI format 590 concatenated with u-boot binary. 591 592 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_BE 593 Defines the DDR controller register space as Big Endian 594 595 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_LE 596 Defines the DDR controller register space as Little Endian 597 598 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_SDRAM_BASE_PHY 599 Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the 600 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But 601 it could be different for ARM SoCs. 602 603 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B 604 DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special 605 interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape 606 SoCs with ARM core. 607 608 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_MAIN_NUM_CTRLS 609 Number of controllers used as main memory. 610 611 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_OTHER_DDR_NUM_CTRLS 612 Number of controllers used for other than main memory. 613 614 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_BE 615 Defines the SEC controller register space as Big Endian 616 617 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE 618 Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian 619 620- Intel Monahans options: 621 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 622 623 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 624 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 625 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 626 627 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 628 629 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 630 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 631 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 632 by this value. 633 634- MIPS CPU options: 635 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 636 637 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 638 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 639 relocation. 640 641 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 642 643 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 644 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 645 Possible values are: 646 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 647 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 648 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 649 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 650 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 651 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 652 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 653 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 654 655 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 656 657 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 658 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 659 660 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 661 662 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 663 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 664 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 665 666- ARM options: 667 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 668 669 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 670 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 671 672 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 673 674 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 675 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 676 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 677 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 678 GCC. 679 680 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 681 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 682 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 683 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 684 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072 685 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320 686 687 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 688 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 689 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 690 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 691 set these options unless they apply! 692 693 COUNTER_FREQUENCY 694 Generic timer clock source frequency. 695 696 COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL 697 Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is 698 different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined 699 at run time. 700 701 NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These 702 do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine 703 specific checks, but expect no product checks. 704 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973 705 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179 706 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766 707 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870 708 709- Tegra SoC options: 710 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE 711 712 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain 713 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode, 714 such as ARM architectural timer initialization. 715 716- Linux Kernel Interface: 717 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 718 719 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 720 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 721 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 722 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 723 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 724 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 725 Linux kernel. 726 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 727 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 728 default environment. 729 730 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 731 732 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions 733 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 734 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 735 736 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 737 738 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 739 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 740 concepts). 741 742 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 743 * New libfdt-based support 744 * Adds the "fdt" command 745 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 746 747 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 748 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 749 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 750 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 751 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 752 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 753 754 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 755 addresses 756 757 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 758 759 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 760 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 761 762 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP 763 764 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make 765 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel. 766 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting 767 the kernel. 768 769 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 770 771 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 772 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 773 774 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 775 776 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 777 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 778 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 779 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 780 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 781 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 782 783 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 784 785 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 786 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 787 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 788 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 789 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 790 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 791 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 792 793- vxWorks boot parameters: 794 795 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 796 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 797 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 798 799 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 800 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 801 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 802 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 803 804 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 805 806 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 807 808 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 809 the defaults discussed just above. 810 811- Cache Configuration: 812 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 813 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 814 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 815 816- Cache Configuration for ARM: 817 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 818 controller 819 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 820 controller register space 821 822- Serial Ports: 823 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 824 825 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 826 827 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 828 829 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 830 831 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 832 833 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 834 the clock speed of the UARTs. 835 836 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 837 838 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 839 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 840 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 841 842 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 843 844 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 845 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 846 this variable to initialize the extra register. 847 848 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 849 850 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 851 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 852 variable to flush the UART at init time. 853 854 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL 855 856 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver. 857 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver 858 859- Console Interface: 860 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 861 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 862 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 863 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 864 865 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 866 port routines must be defined elsewhere 867 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 868 869 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 870 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 871 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 872 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 873 (default big endian) 874 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 875 rectangle fill 876 (cf. smiLynxEM) 877 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 878 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 879 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 880 (cols=pitch) 881 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 882 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 883 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 884 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 885 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 886 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 887 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 888 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 889 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 890 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 891 (i.e. i8042_getc) 892 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 893 (requires blink timer 894 cf. i8042.c) 895 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 896 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 897 upper right corner 898 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 899 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 900 upper left corner 901 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 902 linux_logo.h for logo. 903 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 904 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 905 additional board info beside 906 the logo 907 908 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 909 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 910 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 911 912 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 913 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 914 environment 'console=serial'. 915 916 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 917 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 918 the "silent" environment variable. See 919 doc/README.silent for more information. 920 921 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default 922 is 0x00. 923 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default 924 is 0xa0. 925 926- Console Baudrate: 927 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 928 Select one of the baudrates listed in 929 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 930 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 931 932- Console Rx buffer length 933 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 934 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 935 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 936 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 937 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 938 the SMC. 939 940- Pre-Console Buffer: 941 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 942 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 943 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 944 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 945 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 946 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 947 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 948 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 949 earlier bytes are discarded. 950 951 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the 952 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack. 953 954 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 955 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 956 957- Safe printf() functions 958 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 959 the printf() functions. These are defined in 960 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 961 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 962 If this option is not given then these functions will 963 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 964 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 965 966- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 967 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 968 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 969 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 970 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 971 972 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 973 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 974 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 975 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 976 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 977 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 978 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 979 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 980 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 981 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 982 983- Autoboot Command: 984 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 985 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 986 define a command string that is automatically executed 987 when no character is read on the console interface 988 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 989 990 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 991 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 992 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 993 environment value "bootargs". 994 995 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 996 The value of these goes into the environment as 997 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 998 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 999 RAM and NFS. 1000 1001- Bootcount: 1002 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 1003 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot 1004 cycle, see: 1005 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 1006 1007 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV 1008 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware 1009 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a 1010 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable 1011 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is 1012 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is 1013 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment. 1014 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available" 1015 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully. 1016 1017- Pre-Boot Commands: 1018 CONFIG_PREBOOT 1019 1020 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 1021 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 1022 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 1023 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 1024 entering interactive mode. 1025 1026 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 1027 automatically generated or modified. For an example 1028 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 1029 modified when the user holds down a certain 1030 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 1031 booting the systems 1032 1033- Serial Download Echo Mode: 1034 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 1035 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 1036 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 1037 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 1038 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 1039 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 1040 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 1041 1042- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 1043 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 1044 Select one of the baudrates listed in 1045 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 1046 1047- Monitor Functions: 1048 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 1049 from the build by using the #include files 1050 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 1051 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands. 1052 1053 The default command configuration includes all commands 1054 except those marked below with a "*". 1055 1056 CONFIG_CMD_AES AES 128 CBC encrypt/decrypt 1057 CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable 1058 CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo 1059 CONFIG_CMD_BEDBUG * Include BedBug Debugger 1060

EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network 1165 support you can write: 1166 1167 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 1168 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 1169 1170 Other Commands: 1171 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1172 1173 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 1174 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 1175 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 1176 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 1177 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 1178 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 1179 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 1180 initial stack and some data. 1181 1182 1183 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 1184 1185- Regular expression support: 1186 CONFIG_REGEX 1187 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 1188 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 1189 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 1190 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 1191 1192- Device tree: 1193 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 1194 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 1195 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 1196 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 1197 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 1198 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 1199 1200 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 1201 be done using one of the two options below: 1202 1203 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 1204 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 1205 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 1206 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 1207 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 1208 the global data structure as gd->blob. 1209 1210 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 1211 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 1212 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 1213 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 1214 1215 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 1216 1217 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 1218 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 1219 still use the individual files if you need something more 1220 exotic. 1221 1222- Watchdog: 1223 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 1224 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 1225 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 1226 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 1227 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 1228 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 1229 available, then no further board specific code should 1230 be needed to use it. 1231 1232 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 1233 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 1234 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 1235 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 1236 1237 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT 1238 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds. 1239 1240- U-Boot Version: 1241 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 1242 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1243 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1244 version as printed by the "version" command. 1245 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1246 next reset. 1247 1248- Real-Time Clock: 1249 1250 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1251 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1252 following options: 1253 1254 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1255 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1256 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1257 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1258 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1259 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1260 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1261 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC 1262 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1263 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1264 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1265 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1266 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1267 RV3029 RTC. 1268 1269 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1270 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1271 1272- GPIO Support: 1273 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1274 1275 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1276 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1277 pins supported by a particular chip. 1278 1279 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1280 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1281 1282- I/O tracing: 1283 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O 1284 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out 1285 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is 1286 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that 1287 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code 1288 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To 1289 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>' 1290 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test. 1291 1292 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below. 1293 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will 1294 still continue to operate. 1295 1296 iotrace is enabled 1297 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address) 1298 Size: 00010000 (buffer size) 1299 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset) 1300 Output: 10000120 (start + offset) 1301 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records) 1302 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records) 1303 1304- Timestamp Support: 1305 1306 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1307 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1308 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1309 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1310 1311- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1312 Zero or more of the following: 1313 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1314 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1315 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1316 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1317 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1318 bootloader.

When used on devices 1382 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 1383 1384 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 1385 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 1386 1387 CONFIG_EEPRO100 1388 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 1389 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 1390 write routine for first time initialisation. 1391 1392 CONFIG_TULIP 1393 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 1394 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 1395 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 1396 1397 CONFIG_NATSEMI 1398 Support for National dp83815 chips. 1399 1400 CONFIG_NS8382X 1401 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 1402 1403- NETWORK Support (other): 1404 1405 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 1406 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 1407 1408 CONFIG_RMII 1409 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1410 1411 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1412 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1413 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1414 1415 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 1416 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 1417 1418 CONFIG_LAN91C96 1419 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1420 1421 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1422 Define this to hold the physical address 1423 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1424 1425 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1426 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1427 1428 CONFIG_SMC91111 1429 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1430 1431 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1432 Define this to hold the physical address 1433 of the device (I/O space) 1434 1435 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1436 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1437 1438 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1439 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1440 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1441 1442 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1443 Support for davinci emac 1444 1445 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1446 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1447 1448 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1449 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1450 1451 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1452 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1453 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1454 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1455 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1456 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1457 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1458 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1459 1460 CONFIG_SMC911X 1461 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1462 1463 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1464 Define this to hold the physical address 1465 of the device (I/O space) 1466 1467 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1468 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1469 1470 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1471 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1472 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1473 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1474 1475 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1476 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1477 1478 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1479 Define the number of ports to be used 1480 1481 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1482 Define the ETH PHY's address 1483 1484 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1485 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1486 1487- PWM Support: 1488 CONFIG_PWM_IMX 1489 Support for PWM modul on the imx6. 1490 1491- TPM Support: 1492 CONFIG_TPM 1493 Support TPM devices. 1494 1495 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C 1496 Support for i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1497 per system is supported at this time. 1498 1499 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BUS_NUMBER 1500 Define the the i2c bus number for the TPM device 1501 1502 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_SLAVE_ADDRESS 1503 Define the TPM's address on the i2c bus 1504 1505 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1506 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1507 1508 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI 1509 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. 1510 1511 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1512 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1513 per system is supported at this time. 1514 1515 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1516 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1517 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1518 0xfed40000. 1519 1520 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1521 Add tpm monitor functions. 1522 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1523 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1524 1525 CONFIG_TPM 1526 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1527 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1528 Requires support for a TPM device. 1529 1530 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1531 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1532 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1533 1534- USB Support: 1535 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1536 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1537 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1538 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1539 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1540 storage devices. 1541 Note: 1542 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1543 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1544 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1545 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1546 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1547 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1548 for USB on PSC3 1549 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1550 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1551 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1552 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1553 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1554 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1555 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1556 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1557 1558 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1559 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1560 1561 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2 1562 HW module registers. 1563 1564- USB Device: 1565 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1566 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1567 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1568 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1569 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1570 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1571 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1572 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1573 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1574 a Linux host by 1575 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1576 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1577 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1578 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1579 1580 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1581 Define this to build a UDC device 1582 1583 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1584 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1585 talk to the UDC device 1586 1587 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1588 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1589 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1590 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1591 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1592 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1593 speed. 1594 1595 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1596 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1597 be set to usbtty. 1598 1599 mpc8xx: 1600 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1601 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1602 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1603 1604 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1605 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1606 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1607 1608 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1609 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1610 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1611 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1612 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1613 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1614 1615 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1616 Define this string as the name of your company for 1617 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1618 1619 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1620 Define this string as the name of your product 1621 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1622 1623 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1624 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1625 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1626 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1627 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1628 1629 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1630 Define this as the unique Product ID 1631 for your device 1632 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1633 1634- ULPI Layer Support: 1635 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1636 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1637 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1638 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1639 viewport is supported. 1640 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1641 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1642 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1643 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1644 the appropriate value in Hz. 1645 1646- MMC Support: 1647 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1648 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1649 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1650 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1651 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1652 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1653 1654 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1655 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1656 1657 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1658 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1659 1660 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1661 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1662 1663 CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC 1664 Enable the generic MMC driver 1665 1666 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT 1667 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions. 1668 1669 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB 1670 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the 1671 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC. 1672 1673- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1674 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU 1675 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1676 1677 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1678 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1679 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1680 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1681 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1682 1683 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1684 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1685 1686 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1687 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1688 1689 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1690 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1691 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1692 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1693 one that would help mostly the developer. 1694 1695 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1696 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1697 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1698 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1699 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1700 1701 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1702 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1703 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1704 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1705 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1706 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1707 1708 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT 1709 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the 1710 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending 1711 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device. 1712 1713 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT 1714 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when 1715 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before 1716 sending again an USB request to the device. 1717 1718- USB Device Android Fastboot support: 1719 CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT 1720 This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget 1721 1722 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT 1723 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android 1724 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB 1725 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control 1726 used on Android devices. 1727 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information. 1728 1729 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE 1730 This enables support for booting images which use the Android 1731 image format header. 1732 1733 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR 1734 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1735 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for 1736 downloaded images. 1737 1738 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE 1739 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1740 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a 1741 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot. 1742 1743 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH 1744 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing 1745 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define 1746 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command. 1747 1748 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV 1749 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information 1750 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to 1751 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image. 1752 1753 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME 1754 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded 1755 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition 1756 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed 1757 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.) 1758 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the 1759 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value. 1760 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined. 1761 1762- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1763 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1764 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1765 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1766 1767 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1768 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1769 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1770 1771 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1772 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1773 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1774 1775 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1776 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1777 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1778 have not defined a custom partition 1779 1780- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1781 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1782 1783 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1784 file in FAT formatted partition. 1785 1786 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1787 user to write files to FAT. 1788 1789CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1790 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1791 1792 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1793 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1794 and cbfsload. 1795 1796- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size: 1797 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE 1798 1799 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else 1800 a default value of 65536 will be defined. 1801 1802- Keyboard Support: 1803 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1804 1805 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1806 support 1807 1808 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1809 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1810 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1811 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1812 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1813 1814 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1815 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1816 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1817 which provides key scans on request. 1818 1819- Video support: 1820 CONFIG_VIDEO 1821 1822 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1823 video). 1824 1825 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1826 1827 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1828 1829 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1830 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1831 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1832 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1833 assumed. 1834 1835 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1836 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1837 are possible: 1838 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1839 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1840 1841 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1842 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1843 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1844 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1845 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1846 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1847 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1848 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1849 1850 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1851 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1852 1853 1854 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1855 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1856 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1857 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1858 1859 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1860 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1861 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1862 support, and should also define these other macros: 1863 1864 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1865 CONFIG_VIDEO 1866 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1867 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1868 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1869 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1870 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1871 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1872 1873 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1874 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1875 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1876 description of this variable. 1877 1878 1879- Keyboard Support: 1880 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1881 1882 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1883 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1884 defined in your board-specific files. 1885 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1886 1887- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1888 1889 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1890 display); also select one of the supported displays 1891 by defining one of these: 1892 1893 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1894 1895 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1896 1897 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1898 1899 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1900 1901 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1902 1903 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1904 Active, color, single scan. 1905 1906 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1907 1908 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1909 Active, color, single scan. 1910 1911 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1912 1913 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1914 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1915 1916 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1917 1918 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1919 Active, color, single scan. 1920 1921 CONFIG_HLD1045 1922 1923 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1924 Active, color, single scan. 1925 1926 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1927 1928 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1929 or 1930 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1931 or 1932 Hitachi SP14Q002 1933 1934 320x240. Black & white. 1935 1936 Normally display is black on white background; define 1937 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1938 1939 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1940 1941 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is 1942 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1943 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1944 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1945 a per-section basis. 1946 1947 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1948 1949 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1950 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1951 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1952 is slow. 1953 1954 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION 1955 1956 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait 1957 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree, 1958 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the 1959 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are 1960 printed out. 1961 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be 1962 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of 1963 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code. 1964 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to 1965 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline): 1966 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree 1967 1 = 90 degree rotation 1968 2 = 180 degree rotation 1969 3 = 270 degree rotation 1970 1971 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be 1972 initialized with 0degree rotation. 1973 1974 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1975 1976 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1977 1978 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1979 1980 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1981 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1982 1983- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1984 1985 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1986 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1987 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1988 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1989 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1990 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1991 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1992 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1993 1994 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1995 1996 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1997 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1998 (see README.displaying-bmps). 1999 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 2000 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 2001 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 2002 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 2003 there is no need to set this option. 2004 2005 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 2006 2007 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 2008 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 2009 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 2010 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 2011 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 2012 specify 'm' for centering the image. 2013 2014 Example: 2015 setenv splashpos m,m 2016 => image at center of screen 2017 2018 setenv splashpos 30,20 2019 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 2020 2021 setenv splashpos -10,m 2022 => vertically centered image 2023 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 2024 2025- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 2026 2027 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 2028 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 2029 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 2030 2031- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 2032 2033 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 2034 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 2035 bmp command. 2036 2037- Do compressing for memory range: 2038 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 2039 2040 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 2041 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 2042 2043- Compression support: 2044 CONFIG_GZIP 2045 2046 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 2047 2048 CONFIG_BZIP2 2049 2050 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 2051 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 2052 compressed images are supported. 2053 2054 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 2055 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 2056 be at least 4MB. 2057 2058 CONFIG_LZMA 2059 2060 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 2061 images is included. 2062 2063 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 2064 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 2065 formula: 2066 2067 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 2068 2069 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 2070 and Literal pos bits. 2071 2072 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 2073 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 2074 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 2075 a very small buffer. 2076 2077 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 2078 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 2079 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 2080 2081 CONFIG_LZO 2082 2083 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images 2084 is included. 2085 2086- MII/PHY support: 2087 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 2088 2089 The address of PHY on MII bus. 2090 2091 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 2092 2093 The clock frequency of the MII bus 2094 2095 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 2096 2097 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 2098 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 2099 2100 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 2101 2102 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 2103 reset before any MII register access is possible. 2104 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 2105 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 2106 2107 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 2108 2109 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 2110 command issued before MII status register can be read 2111 2112- IP address: 2113 CONFIG_IPADDR 2114 2115 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 2116 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 2117 determined through e.g. bootp. 2118 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 2119 2120- Server IP address: 2121 CONFIG_SERVERIP 2122 2123 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 2124 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 2125 (Environment variable "serverip") 2126 2127 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 2128 2129 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 2130 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 2131 2132- Gateway IP address: 2133 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 2134 2135 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 2136 default router where packets to other networks are 2137 sent to. 2138 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 2139 2140- Subnet mask: 2141 CONFIG_NETMASK 2142 2143 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 2144 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 2145 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 2146 forwarded through a router. 2147 (Environment variable "netmask") 2148 2149- Multicast TFTP Mode: 2150 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 2151 2152 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 2153 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 2154 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 2155 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 2156 multicast group. 2157 2158- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 2159 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 2160 2161 If you have many targets in a network that try to 2162 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 2163 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 2164 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 2165 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 2166 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 2167 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 2168 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 2169 following delays are inserted then: 2170 2171 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 2172 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 2173 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 2174 4th and following 2175 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 2176 2177 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE 2178 2179 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The 2180 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and 2181 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of 2182 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses 2183 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP 2184 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to 2185 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it 2186 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that 2187 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order 2188 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these 2189 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of 2190 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this 2191 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding 2192 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers 2193 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. 2194 2195- DHCP Advanced Options: 2196 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 2197 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 2198 2199 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 2200 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 2201 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 2202 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 2203 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 2204 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 2205 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2206 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 2207 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 2208 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 2209 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 2210 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 2211 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 2212 2213 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 2214 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 2215 2216 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 2217 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 2218 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 2219 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 2220 is not available. 2221 2222 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 2223 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 2224 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 2225 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 2226 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 2227 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 2228 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2229 is defined. 2230 2231 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 2232 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 2233 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 2234 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 2235 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 2236 option 12 to the DHCP server. 2237 2238 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 2239 2240 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 2241 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 2242 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 2243 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 2244 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 2245 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 2246 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 2247 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 2248 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 2249 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 2250 this delay. 2251 2252 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 2253 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 2254 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 2255 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 2256 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 2257 2258 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 2259 2260 - CDP Options: 2261 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 2262 2263 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 2264 2265 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 2266 2267 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 2268 of the device. 2269 2270 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 2271 2272 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 2273 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 2274 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 2275 2276 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 2277 2278 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 2279 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 2280 2281 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 2282 2283 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 2284 2285 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 2286 2287 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 2288 2289 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 2290 2291 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 2292 2293 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 2294 2295 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 2296 device in .1 of milliwatts. 2297 2298 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 2299 2300 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 2301 2302- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 2303 2304 Several configurations allow to display the current 2305 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 2306 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 2307 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 2308 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 2309 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 2310 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 2311 feature in U-Boot. 2312 2313 Additional options: 2314 2315 CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2316 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. 2317 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a 2318 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2319 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. 2320 2321 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE 2322 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which 2323 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and 2324 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state. 2325 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined 2326 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity. 2327 2328- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 2329 2330 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 2331 on those systems that support this (optional) 2332 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 2333 2334- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 2335 2336 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 2337 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 2338 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 2339 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See 2340 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line 2341 interface. 2342 2343 ported i2c driver to the new framework: 2344 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: 2345 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define 2346 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE 2347 for defining speed and slave address 2348 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define 2349 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 2350 for defining speed and slave address 2351 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define 2352 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 2353 for defining speed and slave address 2354 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define 2355 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 2356 for defining speed and slave address 2357 2358 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: 2359 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL 2360 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register 2361 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and 2362 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first 2363 bus. 2364 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define 2365 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset 2366 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and 2367 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the 2368 second bus. 2369 2370 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: 2371 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA 2372 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from 2373 100000 and the slave addr 0!

If you 2468 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this 2469 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can 2470 omit this define. 2471 2472 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS 2473 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. 2474 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can 2475 omit this define. 2476 2477 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS 2478 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected 2479 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 2480 define. 2481 2482 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 2483 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if 2484 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 2485 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 2486 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 2487 2488 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2489 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 2490 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 2491 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 2492 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 2493 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 2494 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2495 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 2496 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 2497 } 2498 2499 which defines 2500 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 2501 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 2502 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 2503 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 2504 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 2505 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 2506 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 2507 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 2508 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 2509 2510 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 2511 2512- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C 2513 2514 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which 2515 provides the following compelling advantages: 2516 2517 - more than one i2c adapter is usable 2518 - approved multibus support 2519 - better i2c mux support 2520 2521 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** 2522 2523 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining 2524 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver 2525 for the selected CPU. 2526 2527 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 2528 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 2529 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 2530 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 2531 command line interface. 2532 2533 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 2534 2535 There are several other quantities that must also be 2536 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2537 2538 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 2539 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 2540 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 2541 the CPU's i2c node address). 2542 2543 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 2544 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 2545 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 2546 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 2547 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 2548 2549 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 2550 2551 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2552 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2553 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 2554 commands until the slave device responds. 2555 2556 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2557 2558 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 2559 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 2560 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 2561 2562 I2C_INIT 2563 2564 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 2565 controller or configure ports. 2566 2567 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 2568 2569 I2C_PORT 2570 2571 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2572 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2573 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2574 2575 I2C_ACTIVE 2576 2577 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2578 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2579 define can be null. 2580 2581 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2582 2583 I2C_TRISTATE 2584 2585 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2586 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2587 define can be null. 2588 2589 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2590 2591 I2C_READ 2592 2593 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2594 false if it is low. 2595 2596 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2597 2598 I2C_SDA(bit) 2599 2600 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2601 is false, it clears it (low). 2602 2603 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2604 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2605 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2606 2607 I2C_SCL(bit) 2608 2609 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2610 is false, it clears it (low). 2611 2612 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2613 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2614 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2615 2616 I2C_DELAY 2617 2618 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2619 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2620 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2621 like: 2622 2623 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2624 2625 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2626 2627 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2628 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2629 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2630 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2631 2632 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2633 the generic GPIO functions. 2634 2635 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2636 2637 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2638 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2639 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2640 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2641 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2642 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2643 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2644 is run early in the boot sequence. 2645 2646 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2647 2648 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2649 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2650 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2651 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2652 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2653 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2654 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2655 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2656 2657 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2658 2659 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2660 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2661 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2662 2663 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2664 2665 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2666 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2667 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2668 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2669 2670 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2671 2672 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2673 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2674 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2675 a 1D array of device addresses 2676 2677 e.g. 2678 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2679 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2680 2681 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2682 2683 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2684 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2685 2686 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2687 2688 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2689 2690 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2691 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2692 2693 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2694 2695 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2696 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2697 2698 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2699 2700 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2701 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2702 2703 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2704 2705 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2706 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2707 specified DTT device. 2708 2709 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2710 2711 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2712 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2713 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2714 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2715 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2716 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2717 the other. 2718 2719- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2720 2721 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2722 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2723 D/As on the SACSng board) 2724 2725 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2726 2727 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2728 only SH7757 is supported. 2729 2730 CONFIG_SPI_X 2731 2732 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2733 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2734 2735 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2736 2737 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2738 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2739 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2740 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2741 defined, the board configuration must define several 2742 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2743 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2744 2745 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2746 2747 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2748 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2749 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2750 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2751 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2752 2753 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2754 2755 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2756 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2757 2758 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT 2759 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed. 2760 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */ 2761 2762- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2763 2764 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2765 2766 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2767 2768 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2769 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2770 2771 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2772 2773 Enables support for FPGA family. 2774 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2775 2776 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2777 2778 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2779 2780 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK 2781 2782 Enable support for fpga loadmk command 2783 2784 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP 2785 2786 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream 2787 2788 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP 2789 2790 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream 2791 (Xilinx only) 2792 2793 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2794 2795 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2796 2797 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2798 2799 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2800 status by the configuration function. This option 2801 will require a board or device specific function to 2802 be written. 2803 2804 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2805 2806 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2807 configuration driver. 2808 2809 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2810 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2811 2812 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2813 2814 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2815 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2816 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2817 indicated a CRC error). 2818 2819 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2820 2821 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert 2822 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II 2823 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2824 ms. 2825 2826 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2827 2828 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during 2829 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2830 2831 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2832 2833 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2834 200 ms. 2835 2836- Configuration Management: 2837 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET 2838 2839 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary 2840 with a special header) as build targets. By defining 2841 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this 2842 special image will be automatically built upon calling 2843 make / MAKEALL. 2844 2845 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2846 2847 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2848 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2849 2850- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2851 2852 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2853 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2854 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2855 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2856 protects these variables from casual modification by 2857 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2858 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2859 change this behaviour: 2860 2861 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2862 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2863 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2864 these parameters. 2865 2866 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the 2867 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2868 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2869 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2870 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2871 read-only.] 2872 2873 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2874 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2875 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2876 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2877 2878- Protected RAM: 2879 CONFIG_PRAM 2880 2881 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2882 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2883 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2884 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2885 this default value by defining an environment 2886 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2887 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2888 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2889 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2890 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2891 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2892 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2893 2894 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2895 saveenv 2896 2897 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2898 either, which results in a memory region that will 2899 not be affected by reboots. 2900 2901 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2902 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2903 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2904 following board configurations are known to be 2905 "pRAM-clean": 2906 2907 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2908 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2909 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2910 2911- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2912 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2913 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2914 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2915 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2916 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2917 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2918 2919- Error Recovery: 2920 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2921 2922 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2923 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2924 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2925 system where you want the system to reboot 2926 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2927 useful during development since you can try to debug 2928 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2929 2930 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2931 2932 This variable defines the number of retries for 2933 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2934 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2935 default value of 5 is used. 2936 2937 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2938 2939 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2940 2941 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2942 2943 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2944 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2945 try longer timeout such as 2946 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2947 2948- Command Interpreter: 2949 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2950 2951 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2952 2953 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2954 2955 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2956 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2957 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2958 2959 Note: 2960 2961 In the current implementation, the local variables 2962 space and global environment variables space are 2963 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2964 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2965 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2966 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2967 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2968 2969 Global environment variables are those you use 2970 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2971 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2972 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2973 2974 To store commands and special characters in a 2975 variable, please use double quotation marks 2976 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2977 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2978 symbols. 2979 2980- Command Line Editing and History: 2981 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2982 2983 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2984 command line input operations 2985 2986- Default Environment: 2987 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2988 2989 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2990 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2991 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2992 2993 For example, place something like this in your 2994 board's config file: 2995 2996 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2997 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2998 "myvar2=value2\0" 2999 3000 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 3001 internal format how the environment is stored by the 3002 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 3003 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 3004 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 3005 You better know what you are doing here. 3006 3007 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 3008 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 3009 the environment like the "source" command or the 3010 boot command first. 3011 3012 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 3013 3014 Define this in order to add variables describing the 3015 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 3016 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 3017 3018 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 3019 3020 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 3021 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 3022 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 3023 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 3024 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 3025 3026 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 3027 3028 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 3029 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 3030 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 3031 3032 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 3033 3034 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 3035 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 3036 that so that the environment is not available until 3037 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 3038 this is instead controlled by the value of 3039 /config/load-environment. 3040 3041- Parallel Flash support: 3042 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH 3043 3044 Traditionally U-boot was run on systems with parallel NOR 3045 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR 3046 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have 3047 parallel flash. 3048 3049 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers 3050 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be 3051 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the 3052 flash API (see include/flash.h). 3053 3054- DataFlash Support: 3055 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 3056 3057 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 3058 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 3059 commands cp, md... 3060 3061- Serial Flash support 3062 CONFIG_CMD_SF 3063 3064 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 3065 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 3066 3067 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 3068 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 3069 commands. 3070 3071 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 3072 to handle the common case when only a single serial 3073 flash is present on the system. 3074 3075 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 3076 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 3077 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 3078 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 3079 3080 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 3081 3082 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 3083 test ('sf test'). 3084 3085 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories 3086 3087 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash 3088 memories can be connected with a given cs line. 3089 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections. 3090 3091- SystemACE Support: 3092 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 3093 3094 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 3095 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 3096 of the chip must also be defined in the 3097 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 3098 3099 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 3100 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 3101 3102 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 3103 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 3104 3105- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 3106 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 3107 3108 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 3109 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 3110 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 3111 number generator is used. 3112 3113 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 3114 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 3115 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 3116 3117 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 3118 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 3119 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 3120 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 3121 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 3122 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 3123 but sometimes that is not allowed. 3124 3125- Hashing support: 3126 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 3127 3128 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 3129 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 3130 3131 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 3132 3133 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 3134 size a little. 3135 3136 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1 3137 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software. 3138 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using 3139 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software. 3140 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration 3141 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing. 3142 This affects the 'hash' command and also the 3143 hash_lookup_algo() function. 3144 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables 3145 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing. 3146 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing 3147 is performed in hardware. 3148 3149 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 3150 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 3151 3152- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 3153 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 3154 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 3155 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 3156 3157 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 3158 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 3159 a boot from specific media. 3160 3161 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 3162 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 3163 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 3164 will set it back to normal. This command currently 3165 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 3166 3167- Signing support: 3168 CONFIG_RSA 3169 3170 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 3171 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information. 3172 3173 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using 3174 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this 3175 library to function. 3176 3177 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 3178 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into 3179 mkimage irrespective of this option. 3180 3181- bootcount support: 3182 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 3183 3184 This enables the bootcounter support, see: 3185 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 3186 3187 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE 3188 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards. 3189 CONFIG_BLACKFIN 3190 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards. 3191 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX 3192 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards. 3193 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM 3194 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM 3195 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C 3196 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device. 3197 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address 3198 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for 3199 the bootcounter. 3200 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len 3201 3202- Show boot progress: 3203 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 3204 3205 Defining this option allows to add some board- 3206 specific code (calling a user-provided function 3207 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 3208 the system's boot progress on some display (for 3209 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 3210 the following checkpoints are implemented: 3211 3212 3213Legacy uImage format: 3214 3215 Arg Where When 3216 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 3217 -1

A match is considered "best" if it matches the 3387 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 3388 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 3389 3390 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 3391 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 3392 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If 3393 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive 3394 hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it. 3395 See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 3396 3397 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required 3398 signature check the legacy image format is default 3399 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support 3400 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3401 3402 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256 3403 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size. 3404 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled 3405 with this option. 3406 3407- Standalone program support: 3408 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 3409 3410 This option defines a board specific value for the 3411 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 3412 overwriting the architecture dependent default 3413 settings. 3414 3415- Frame Buffer Address: 3416 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 3417 3418 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 3419 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 3420 when using a graphics controller has separate video 3421 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 3422 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 3423 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 3424 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 3425 configured panel size. 3426 3427 Please see board_init_f function. 3428 3429- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 3430 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 3431 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 3432 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 3433 3434 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 3435 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 3436 3437- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 3438 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 3439 3440 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 3441 Needed for mtdparts command support. 3442 3443 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 3444 3445 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 3446 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 3447 3448- UBI support 3449 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 3450 3451 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 3452 with the UBI flash translation layer 3453 3454 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 3455 3456 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3457 3458 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 3459 warnings and errors enabled. 3460 3461 3462 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD 3463 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest 3464 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks 3465 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing 3466 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase 3467 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. 3468 3469 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and 3470 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. 3471 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock 3472 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., 3473 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). 3474 3475 default: 4096 3476 3477 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT 3478 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI 3479 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the 3480 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR 3481 flash), this value is ignored. 3482 3483 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM 3484 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. 3485 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks 3486 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", 3487 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total 3488 count of eraseblocks on the chip). 3489 3490 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to 3491 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks 3492 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire 3493 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means 3494 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad 3495 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same 3496 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a 3497 partition. 3498 3499 default: 20 3500 3501 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP 3502 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device 3503 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it 3504 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. 3505 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach 3506 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where 3507 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install 3508 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter 3509 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note 3510 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations 3511 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap 3512 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. 3513 3514 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT 3515 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images 3516 without a fastmap. 3517 default: 0 3518 3519- UBIFS support 3520 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 3521 3522 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 3523 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 3524 3525 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 3526 3527 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3528 3529 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 3530 warnings and errors enabled. 3531 3532- SPL framework 3533 CONFIG_SPL 3534 Enable building of SPL globally. 3535 3536 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 3537 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 3538 3539 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 3540 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 3541 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 3542 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3543 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3544 must not be both defined at the same time. 3545 3546 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 3547 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 3548 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 3549 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 3550 not exceed it. 3551 3552 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 3553 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 3554 3555 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 3556 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 3557 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 3558 3559 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 3560 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 3561 3562 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3563 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 3564 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 3565 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3566 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3567 must not be both defined at the same time. 3568 3569 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 3570 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 3571 3572 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE 3573 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has 3574 loaded does not have a signature. 3575 Defining this is useful when code which loads images 3576 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors 3577 will be caught. 3578 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will 3579 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad, 3580 and thus should be skipped silently. 3581 3582 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 3583 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 3584 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 3585 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 3586 3587 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 3588 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3589 3590 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 3591 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3592 3593 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 3594 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 3595 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 3596 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 3597 3598 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT 3599 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL. 3600 See also: doc/README.falcon 3601 3602 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 3603 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 3604 about the running system. 3605 3606 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 3607 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 3608 3609 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 3610 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 3611 3612 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 3613 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 3614 3615 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 3616 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 3617 3618 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 3619 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 3620 3621 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 3622 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 3623 3624 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3625 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3626 Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3627 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3628 3629 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION 3630 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being 3631 used in raw mode 3632 3633 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3634 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3635 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3636 3637 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3638 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3639 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3640 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3641 (for falcon mode) 3642 3643 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION 3644 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being 3645 used in fs mode 3646 3647 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3648 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3649 3650 CONFIG_SPL_EXT_SUPPORT 3651 Support for EXT filesystem in SPL binary 3652 3653 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3654 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem 3655 3656 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3657 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3658 from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 3659 3660 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3661 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3662 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 3663 3664 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3665 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3666 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3667 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3668 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3669 3670 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE 3671 Avoid SPL relocation 3672 3673 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3674 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3675 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3676 3677 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3678 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3679 3680 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3681 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3682 3683 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3684 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3685 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3686 3687 CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT 3688 Support for the MTD subsystem within SPL. Useful for 3689 environment on NAND support within SPL. 3690 3691 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY 3692 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only 3693 if you need to save space. 3694 3695 CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT 3696 Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for 3697 drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary. 3698 3699 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 3700 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 3701 SPL binary. 3702 3703 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3704 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3705 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3706 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3707 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3708 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3709 to read U-Boot 3710 3711 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT 3712 Add support NAND boot 3713 3714 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3715 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3716 3717 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3718 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3719 3720 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3721 Size of image to load 3722 3723 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3724 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3725 3726 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3727 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3728 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms. 3729 3730 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3731 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3732 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3733 3734 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3735 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3736 3737 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3738 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3739 3740 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3741 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3742 3743 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3744 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3745 3746 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3747 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3748 3749 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3750 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3751 3752 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3753 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3754 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3755 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3756 3757 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3758 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3759 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3760 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3761 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3762 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3763 3764 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3765 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3766 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3767 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3768 3769 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3770 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3771 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3772 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3773 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3774 3775- TPL framework 3776 CONFIG_TPL 3777 Enable building of TPL globally. 3778 3779 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 3780 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 3781 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3782 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3783 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3784 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3785 3786Modem Support: 3787-------------- 3788 3789[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3790 3791- Modem support enable: 3792 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3793 3794- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3795 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3796 3797- Modem debug support: 3798 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3799 3800 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3801 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3802 3803- Interrupt support (PPC): 3804 3805 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3806 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3807 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3808 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3809 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3810 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3811 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3812 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3813 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3814 general timer_interrupt(). 3815 3816- General: 3817 3818 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3819 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3820 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3821 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3822 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3823 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3824 initialization. 3825 3826 If there are no modem init strings in the 3827 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3828 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3829 suppressed, though. 3830 3831 See also: doc/README.Modem 3832 3833Board initialization settings: 3834------------------------------ 3835 3836During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3837to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3838before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3839following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3840architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3841typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3842 3843- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3844- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3845- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3846- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3847 3848Configuration Settings: 3849----------------------- 3850 3851- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit. 3852 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands. 3853 3854- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3855 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3856 3857- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3858 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3859 3860- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3861 prompt for user input. 3862 3863- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3864 3865- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3866 3867- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3868 3869- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3870 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3871 booted 3872 3873- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3874 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3875 3876- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3877 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3878 3879- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3880 If the board specific function 3881 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3882 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3883 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3884 3885- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3886 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3887 3888- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3889 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3890 3891- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3892 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3893 simple memory test. 3894 3895- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3896 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3897 3898- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3899 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3900 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3901 3902- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3903 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3904 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3905 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3906 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3907 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3908 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3909 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3910 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3911 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3912 3913 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3914 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3915 be touched. 3916 3917 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3918 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3919 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3920 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3921 problems. 3922 3923- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3924 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3925 3926- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3927 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3928 3929- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3930 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3931 Cogent motherboard) 3932 3933- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3934 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3935 3936- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3937 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3938 make config files to be same as the text base address 3939 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3940 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3941 3942- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3943 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3944 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3945 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3946 flash sector. 3947 3948- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3949 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3950 3951- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN 3952 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If 3953 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation 3954 will become available before relocation. The address is just 3955 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make 3956 space. 3957 3958 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses 3959 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc() 3960 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing. 3961 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when 3962 U-Boot relocates itself. 3963 3964 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox 3965 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs. 3966 3967- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE 3968 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those 3969 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is 3970 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START). 3971 3972- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY: 3973 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be 3974 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped 3975 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would 3976 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For 3977 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the 3978 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed 3979 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding 3980 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e. 3981 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the 3982 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of 3983 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has 3984 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can 3985 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for 3986 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g. 3987 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes). 3988 3989 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present. 3990 3991- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3992 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3993 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3994 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3995 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3996 3997- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3998 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3999 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 4000 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 4001 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 4002 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 4003 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 4004 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 4005 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 4006 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 4007 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 4008 4009- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 4010 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 4011 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 4012 is enabled. 4013 4014- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 4015 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 4016 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 4017 4018- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 4019 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 4020 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 4021 4022- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 4023 Max number of Flash memory banks 4024 4025- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 4026 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 4027 4028- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 4029 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 4030 4031- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 4032 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 4033 4034- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 4035 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 4036 4037- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 4038 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 4039 4040- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 4041 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 4042 instead of U-Boot software protection. 4043 4044- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 4045 4046 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 4047 without this option such a download has to be 4048 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 4049 copy from RAM to flash. 4050 4051 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 4052 you can check if the download worked before you erase 4053 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 4054 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 4055 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 4056 4057- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 4058 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 4059 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 4060 4061- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 4062 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 4063 in the drivers directory 4064 4065- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 4066 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 4067 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 4068 to the MTD layer. 4069 4070- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 4071 Use buffered writes to flash. 4072 4073- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 4074 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 4075 write commands. 4076 4077- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 4078 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 4079 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 4080 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 4081 optionally available. 4082 4083- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 4084 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 4085 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 4086 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 4087 4088- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 4089 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 4090 against the source after the write operation. An error message 4091 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 4092 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 4093 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 4094 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 4095 this option if you really know what you are doing. 4096 4097- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 4098 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 4099 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 4100 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 4101 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 4102 on high Ethernet traffic. 4103 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 4104 4105- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 4106 4107 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 4108 internally to store the environment settings. The default 4109 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 4110 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 4111 lib/hashtable.c for details. 4112 4113- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 4114- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 4115 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 4116 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 4117 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 4118 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 4119 4120 The format of the list is: 4121 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 4122 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c] 4123 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute] 4124 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 4125 list = entry[,list] 4126 4127 The type attributes are: 4128 s - String (default) 4129 d - Decimal 4130 x - Hexadecimal 4131 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 4132 i - IP address 4133 m - MAC address 4134 4135 The access attributes are: 4136 a - Any (default) 4137 r - Read-only 4138 o - Write-once 4139 c - Change-default 4140 4141 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 4142 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 4143 environment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4144 4145 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 4146 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 4147 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 4148 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 4149 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 4150 ".flags" variable. 4151 4152 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a 4153 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same 4154 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable. 4155 4156- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 4157 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 4158 access flags. 4159 4160- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 4161 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 4162 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 4163 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 4164 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 4165 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 4166 must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig). 4167 If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report 4168 the problem and send patches! 4169 4170- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 4171 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 4172 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 4173 the value can be calculated on a given board. 4174 4175- CONFIG_USE_STDINT 4176 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this 4177 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when 4178 building U-Boot to enable this. 4179 4180The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 4181of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 4182following configurations: 4183 4184- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 4185 4186 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 4187 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 4188 4189- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 4190 4191 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 4192 4193 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 4194 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 4195 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 4196 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 4197 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 4198 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 4199 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 4200 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 4201 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 4202 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 4203 between U-Boot and the environment. 4204 4205 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4206 4207 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 4208 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 4209 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 4210 for this sector is given here. 4211 4212 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 4213 4214 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4215 4216 This is just another way to specify the start address of 4217 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 4218 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 4219 4220 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4221 4222 Size of the sector containing the environment. 4223 4224 4225 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 4226 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 4227 the environment. 4228 4229 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4230 4231 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 4232 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 4233 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 4234 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 4235 4236 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 4237 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 4238 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 4239 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 4240 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 4241 updating the environment in flash makes it always 4242 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 4243 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 4244 RAM, your target system will be dead. 4245 4246 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 4247 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 4248 4249 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 4250 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 4251 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 4252 a "saveenv" operation. 4253 4254BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 4255source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 4256accordingly! 4257 4258 4259- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 4260 4261 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 4262 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 4263 environment. 4264 4265 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4266 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4267 4268 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 4269 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 4270 can just be read and written to, without any special 4271 provision. 4272 4273BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 4274in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the 4275console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 4276U-Boot will hang. 4277 4278Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 4279environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 4280keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 4281to save the current settings. 4282 4283 4284- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 4285 4286 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 4287 device and a driver for it. 4288 4289 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4290 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4291 4292 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4293 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 4294 4295 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 4296 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 4297 The default address is zero. 4298 4299 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS: 4300 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device. 4301 4302 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 4303 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 4304 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 4305 would require six bits. 4306 4307 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 4308 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 4309 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 4310 4311 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 4312 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 4313 that this is NOT the chip address length! 4314 4315 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 4316 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 4317 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 4318 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 4319 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 4320 byte chips. 4321 4322 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 4323 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 4324 in the chip address. 4325 4326 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 4327 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 4328 4329 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 4330 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 4331 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 4332 4333 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 4334 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 4335 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 4336 EEPROM. For example: 4337 4338 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 4339 4340 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 4341 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 4342 4343- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 4344 4345 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 4346 want to use for the environment. 4347 4348 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4349 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4350 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4351 4352 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 4353 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 4354 at the specified address. 4355 4356- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH: 4357 4358 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you 4359 want to use for the environment. 4360 4361 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4362 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4363 4364 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4365 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4366 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4367 4368 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4369 4370 Define the SPI flash's sector size. 4371 4372 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4373 4374 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4375 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4376 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4377 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4378 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4379 4380 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional): 4381 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional): 4382 4383 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0. 4384 4385 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional): 4386 4387 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz. 4388 4389 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional): 4390 4391 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3. 4392 4393- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 4394 4395 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 4396 want to use for the local device's environment. 4397 4398 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4399 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4400 4401 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 4402 environment area within the remote memory space. The 4403 local device can get the environment from remote memory 4404 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 4405 4406BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 4407"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 4408environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 4409but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 4410 4411- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 4412 4413 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 4414 for the environment. 4415 4416 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4417 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4418 4419 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4420 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4421 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4422 4423 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4424 4425 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4426 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4427 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4428 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4429 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4430 4431 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 4432 4433 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 4434 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 4435 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 4436 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 4437 the range to be avoided. 4438 4439 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 4440 4441 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 4442 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 4443 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 4444 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 4445 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 4446 4447- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 4448 4449 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 4450 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 4451 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4452 4453- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 4454 4455 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 4456 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 4457 accesses, which is important on NAND. 4458 4459 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 4460 4461 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 4462 4463 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 4464 4465 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 4466 environment in. 4467 4468 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 4469 4470 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 4471 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 4472 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 4473 4474 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 4475 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 4476 4477 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 4478 when storing the env in UBI. 4479 4480- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT: 4481 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment. 4482 4483 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE: 4484 4485 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device. 4486 4487 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART: 4488 4489 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can 4490 be as following: 4491 4492 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1) 4493 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no 4494 partition table. 4495 - "D:0": device D. 4496 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition 4497 table, or the whole device D if has no partition 4498 table. 4499 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set. 4500 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no 4501 partition table then means device D. 4502 4503 - FAT_ENV_FILE: 4504 4505 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the 4506 environment. 4507 4508 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE: 4509 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file. 4510 4511- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 4512 4513 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 4514 environment. 4515 4516 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 4517 4518 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 4519 4520 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 4521 4522 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 4523 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 4524 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 4525 4526 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4527 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4528 4529 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4530 area within the specified MMC device. 4531 4532 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 4533 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 4534 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 4535 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 4536 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 4537 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 4538 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 4539 4540 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 4541 MMC sector boundary. 4542 4543 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4544 4545 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 4546 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 4547 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 4548 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 4549 4550 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 4551 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 4552 4553 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 4554 an MMC sector boundary. 4555 4556 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 4557 4558 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 4559 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 4560 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4561 4562- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 4563 4564 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 4565 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 4566 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 4567 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 4568 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 4569 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 4570 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 4571 4572Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 4573has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 4574created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 4575until then to read environment variables. 4576 4577The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 4578is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 4579with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 4580necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 4581"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 4582have any device yet where we could complain.] 4583 4584Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 4585the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 4586use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 4587 4588- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 4589 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 4590 4591 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 4592 also needs to be defined. 4593 4594- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 4595 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 4596 4597- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 4598 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 4599 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 4600 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 4601 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 4602 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 4603 4604- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 4605 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 4606 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 4607 to do this. 4608 4609- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 4610 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 4611 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 4612 present. 4613 4614- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT: 4615 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the 4616 build system checks that the actual size does not 4617 exceed it. 4618 4619Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 4620--------------------------------------------------- 4621 4622- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 4623 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 4624 4625- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 4626 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 4627 4628 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 4629 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 4630 the IMMR register after a reset. 4631 4632- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 4633 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 4634 PowerPC SOCs. 4635 4636- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 4637 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 4638 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 4639 4640 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 4641 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 4642 4643- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 4644 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 4645 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 4646 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 4647 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 4648 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 4649 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 4650 4651 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 4652 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 4653 4654- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 4655 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 4656 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 4657 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4658 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4659 4660- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 4661 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 4662 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4663 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4664 4665- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 4666 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 4667 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 4668 4669- Floppy Disk Support: 4670 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 4671 4672 the default drive number (default value 0) 4673 4674 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 4675 4676 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 4677 (default value 1) 4678 4679 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 4680 4681 defines the offset of register from address. It 4682 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 4683 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 4684 4685 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 4686 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 4687 default value. 4688 4689 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 4690 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 4691 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 4692 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent 4693 initializations. 4694 4695- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 4696 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 4697 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 4698 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 4699 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 4700 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 4701 is required. 4702 4703- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 4704 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 4705 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 4706 4707- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 4708 4709 Start address of memory area that can be used for 4710 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 4711 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 4712 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 4713 will become available only after programming the 4714 memory controller and running certain initialization 4715 sequences. 4716 4717 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 4718 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 4719 - MPC824X: data cache 4720 - PPC4xx: data cache 4721 4722- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 4723 4724 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 4725 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 4726 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 4727 data is located at the end of the available space 4728 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 4729 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 4730 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 4731 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 4732 4733 Note: 4734 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 4735 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 4736 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 4737 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 4738 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 4739 4740- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 4741 4742- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 4743 4744- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 4745 4746- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 4747 4748- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 4749 4750- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 4751 4752- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 4753 SDRAM timing 4754 4755- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 4756 periodic timer for refresh 4757 4758- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 4759 4760- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 4761 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 4762 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 4763 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 4764 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 4765 4766- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 4767 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 4768 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 4769 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 4770 4771- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 4772 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 4773 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 4774 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 4775 4776- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4777 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4778 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 4779 4780- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4781 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4782 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 4783 4784- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4785 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4786 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 4787 4788- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4789 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 4790 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 4791 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 4792 4793- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 4794 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 4795 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 4796 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 4797 cpm_8260.h. 4798 4799- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4800 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 4801 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 4802 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4803 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 4804 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 4805 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 4806 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 4807 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 4808 4809- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 4810 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 4811 required. 4812 4813- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 4814 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses. 4815 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 4816 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 4817 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4818 by coreboot or similar. 4819 4820- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4821 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4822 4823- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4824 Chip has SRIO or not 4825 4826- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4827 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4828 4829- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4830 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4831 4832- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4833 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4834 4835- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4836 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4837 4838- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4839 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4840 4841- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4842 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4843 4844- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4845 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4846 a 16 bit bus. 4847 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4848 Example of drivers that use it: 4849 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4850 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4851 4852- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4853 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4854 a default value will be used. 4855 4856- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4857 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4858 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4859 4860 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4861 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4862 4863- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4864 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4865 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4866 to something your driver can deal with. 4867 4868- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4869 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4870 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4871 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4872 header files or board specific files. 4873 4874- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4875 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4876 4877- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH 4878 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers. 4879 4880- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST 4881 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers. 4882 4883- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4884 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4885 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4886 4887- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4888 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4889 4890- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4891 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4892 to the given FEC; i. e. 4893 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4894 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4895 4896 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4897 4898- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4899 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4900 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4901 4902- CONFIG_RMII 4903 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4904 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4905 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4906 4907- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4908 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4909 The syntax is: 4910 4911 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4912 4913 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4914 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4915 area should have. 4916 4917- CONFIG_LOOPW 4918 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4919 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4920 4921- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4922 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4923 "md/mw" commands. 4924 Examples: 4925 4926 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4927 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4928 4929 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4930 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4931 4932 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4933 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4934 4935- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4936 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4937 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4938 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4939 relocate itself into RAM. 4940 4941 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4942 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4943 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4944 these initializations itself. 4945 4946- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4947 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4948 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4949 compiling a NAND SPL. 4950 4951- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 4952 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4953 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 4954 It is loaded by the SPL. 4955 4956- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4957 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4958 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4959 previous 4k of the .text section. 4960 4961- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4962 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4963 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4964 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4965 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4966 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4967 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4968 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4969 4970- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4971 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4972 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4973 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4974 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4975 4976- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4977 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4978 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4979 4980- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4981 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4982 4983 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4984 4985- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC: 4986 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms 4987 4988- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE 4989 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver 4990 driver that uses this: 4991 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c 4992 4993Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4994----------------------------------- 4995 4996The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4997loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4998This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4999are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 5000within that device. 5001 5002- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR 5003 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The 5004 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 5005 is also specified. 5006 5007- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR 5008 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The 5009 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 5010 is also specified. 5011 5012- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 5013 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 5014 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 5015 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 5016 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 5017 5018- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 5019 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 5020 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 5021 virtual address in NOR flash. 5022 5023- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 5024 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 5025 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 5026 5027- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 5028 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 5029 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 5030 5031- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 5032 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 5033 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 5034 5035- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 5036 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 5037 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 5038 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 5039 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 5040 master's memory space. 5041 5042Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support: 5043--------------------------------------------------------- 5044The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of 5045"firmware". 5046This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 5047are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 5048within that device. 5049 5050- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET 5051 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs. 5052 5053- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR 5054 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 5055 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro 5056 is also specified. 5057 5058- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH 5059 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 5060 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 5061 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 5062 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 5063 5064- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR 5065 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 5066 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the 5067 virtual address in NOR flash. 5068 5069Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support: 5070------------------------------------------- 5071The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of 5072"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom. 5073This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting. 5074 5075- CONFIG_FSL_DEBUG_SERVER 5076 Enable the Debug Server for Layerscape SoCs. 5077 5078- CONFIG_SYS_DEBUG_SERVER_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE 5079 Define minimum DDR size required for debug server image 5080 5081- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE_MIN 5082 Define minimum DDR size to be hided from top of the DDR memory 5083 5084Building the Software: 5085====================== 5086 5087Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 5088and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 5089all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 5090(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 5091recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 5092which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 5093 5094If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 5095have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 5096you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 5097Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 5098necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 5099 5100 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 5101 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 5102 5103Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 5104 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 5105 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 5106 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 5107 5108 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 5109 5110 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 5111 be executed on computers running Windows. 5112 5113U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 5114sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 5115is done by typing: 5116 5117 make NAME_defconfig 5118 5119where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu- 5120rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 5121 5122Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 5123 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 5124 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 5125 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 5126 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 5127 5128 make TQM823L_defconfig 5129 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 5130 5131 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig 5132 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 5133 5134 etc. 5135 5136 5137Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 5138images ready for download to / installation on your system: 5139 5140- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 5141- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 5142- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 5143 5144By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 5145in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 5146this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 5147 51481. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 5149 5150 make O=/tmp/build distclean 5151 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig 5152 make O=/tmp/build all 5153 51542. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location: 5155 5156 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build 5157 make distclean 5158 make NAME_defconfig 5159 make all 5160 5161Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment 5162variable. 5163 5164 5165Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 5166for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 5167native "make". 5168 5169 5170If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 5171to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 5172steps: 5173 51741. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 5175 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 5176 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 51772. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 5178 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 5179 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 51803. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 5181 your board 51823. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 5183 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 51844. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. 51855. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 5186 to be installed on your target system. 51876. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 5188 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 5189 5190 5191Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 5192============================================================== 5193 5194If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 5195or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 5196provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 5197the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 5198official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 5199 5200But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 5201cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 5202the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 5203just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 5204for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 5205select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 5206environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 5207you can type 5208 5209 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5210 5211or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 5212 5213 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 5214 5215When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 5216U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 5217setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 5218built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 5219<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 5220location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 5221variable. For example: 5222 5223 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 5224 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 5225 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5226 5227With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 5228log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 5229during the whole build process. 5230 5231 5232See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 5233 5234 5235Monitor Commands - Overview: 5236============================ 5237 5238go - start application at address 'addr' 5239run - run commands in an environment variable 5240bootm - boot application image from memory 5241bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 5242bootz - boot zImage from memory 5243tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 5244 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 5245 (and eventually "gatewayip") 5246tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 5247rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 5248diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 5249loads - load S-Record file over serial line 5250loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 5251md - memory display 5252mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 5253nm - memory modify (constant address) 5254mw - memory write (fill) 5255cp - memory copy 5256cmp - memory compare 5257crc32 - checksum calculation 5258i2c - I2C sub-system 5259sspi - SPI utility commands 5260base - print or set address offset 5261printenv- print environment variables 5262setenv - set environment variables 5263saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 5264protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 5265erase - erase FLASH memory 5266flinfo - print FLASH memory information 5267nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 5268bdinfo - print Board Info structure 5269iminfo - print header information for application image 5270coninfo - print console devices and informations 5271ide - IDE sub-system 5272loop - infinite loop on address range 5273loopw - infinite write loop on address range 5274mtest - simple RAM test 5275icache - enable or disable instruction cache 5276dcache - enable or disable data cache 5277reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 5278echo - echo args to console 5279version - print monitor version 5280help - print online help 5281? - alias for 'help' 5282 5283 5284Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 5285======================================== 5286 5287TODO. 5288 5289For now: just type "help <command>". 5290 5291 5292Environment Variables: 5293====================== 5294 5295U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 5296can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 5297 5298Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 5299"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 5300without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 5301environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 5302working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 5303environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 5304 5305Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 5306 5307List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 5308 5309 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 5310 5311 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 5312 5313 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 5314 5315 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 5316 5317 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 5318 5319 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5320 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5321 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 5322 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 5323 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 5324 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 5325 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 5326 bootm_mapsize. 5327 5328 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 5329 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 5330 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 5331 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 5332 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 5333 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 5334 used otherwise. 5335 5336 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5337 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5338 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 5339 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 5340 environment variable. 5341 5342 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 5343 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 5344 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 5345 5346 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 5347 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 5348 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 5349 load any image using TFTP 5350 5351 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 5352 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 5353 be automatically started (by internally calling 5354 "bootm") 5355 5356 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 5357 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 5358 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 5359 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 5360 data. 5361 5362 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 5363 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 5364 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 5365 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 5366 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 5367 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 5368 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 5369 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 5370 access it during the boot procedure. 5371 5372 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 5373 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 5374 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 5375 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 5376 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 5377 must be accessible by the kernel. 5378 5379 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 5380 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 5381 defined. 5382 5383 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 5384 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 5385 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 5386 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 5387 it must be saved and board must be reset. 5388 5389 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 5390 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 5391 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 5392 is usually what you want since it allows for 5393 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 5394 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 5395 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 5396 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 5397 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 5398 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 5399 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 5400 5401 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 5402 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 5403 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 5404 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 5405 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 5406 12 MB as well - this can be done with 5407 5408 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 5409 5410 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 5411 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 5412 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 5413 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 5414 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 5415 boot time on your system, but requires that this 5416 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 5417 5418 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5419 5420 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 5421 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 5422 5423 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 5424 5425 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5426 5427 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 5428 5429 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 5430 5431 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 5432 5433 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 5434 5435 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 5436 For example you can do the following 5437 5438 => setenv ethact FEC 5439 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 5440 => setenv ethact SCC 5441 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 5442 5443 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 5444 available network interfaces. 5445 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 5446 5447 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 5448 either succeed or fail without retrying. 5449 When set to "once" the network operation will 5450 fail when all the available network interfaces 5451 are tried once without success. 5452 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 5453 themselves. 5454 5455 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 5456 5457 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by 5458 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 5459 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 5460 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 5461 is silent. 5462 5463 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 5464 UDP source port. 5465 5466 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 5467 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 5468 5469 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 5470 we use the TFTP server's default block size 5471 5472 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 5473 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 5474 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 5475 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 5476 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 5477 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 5478 with unreliable TFTP servers. 5479 5480 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 5481 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 5482 VLAN tagged frames. 5483 5484The following image location variables contain the location of images 5485used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 5486not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 5487variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 5488server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 5489loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 5490flash or offset in NAND flash. 5491 5492*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 5493boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some 5494boards use these variables for other purposes. 5495 5496Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 5497----- --------- ----------- -------------- 5498u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 5499Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 5500device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 5501ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 5502 5503The following environment variables may be used and automatically 5504updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 5505depending the information provided by your boot server: 5506 5507 bootfile - see above 5508 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 5509 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 5510 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 5511 hostname - Target hostname 5512 ipaddr - see above 5513 netmask - Subnet Mask 5514 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 5515 serverip - see above 5516 5517 5518There are two special Environment Variables: 5519 5520 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 5521 as type string and/or serial number 5522 ethaddr - Ethernet address 5523 5524These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 5525the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 5526once they have been set once. 5527 5528 5529Further special Environment Variables: 5530 5531 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 5532 with the "version" command. This variable is 5533 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 5534 5535 5536Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 5537only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 5538 5539 5540Callback functions for environment variables: 5541--------------------------------------------- 5542 5543For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 5544when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to 5545be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 5546deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 5547effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 5548 5549The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 5550U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 5551 5552These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 5553static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 5554in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 5555associations. The list must be in the following format: 5556 5557 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 5558 list = entry[,list] 5559 5560If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 5561Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 5562 5563Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 5564with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 5565override any association in the static list. You can define 5566CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 5567".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment. 5568 5569If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a 5570regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to 5571the same callback without explicitly listing them all out. 5572 5573 5574Command Line Parsing: 5575===================== 5576 5577There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 5578the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 5579 5580Old, simple command line parser: 5581-------------------------------- 5582 5583- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 5584- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 5585- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 5586- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 5587 for example: 5588 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 5589- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 5590 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 5591 5592Hush shell: 5593----------- 5594 5595- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 5596 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 5597 until...do...done, ... 5598- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 5599 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 5600 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 5601 command 5602 5603General rules: 5604-------------- 5605 5606(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 5607 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 5608 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 5609 executed anyway. 5610 5611(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 5612 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 5613 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 5614 variables are not executed. 5615 5616Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 5617======================================= 5618 5619Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 5620such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 5621"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 5622 5623Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 5624MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 5625"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 5626 5627If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 5628in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 5629ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 5630variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 5631 5632o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 5633 environment, the SROM's address is used. 5634 5635o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 5636 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 5637 used. 5638 5639o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 5640 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 5641 5642o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 5643 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 5644 warning is printed. 5645 5646o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 5647 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case 5648 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used. 5649 5650If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 5651will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 5652may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 5653The naming convention is as follows: 5654"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 5655 5656Image Formats: 5657============== 5658 5659U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 5660images in two formats: 5661 5662New uImage format (FIT) 5663----------------------- 5664 5665Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 5666to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 5667components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 5668SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 5669 5670 5671Old uImage format 5672----------------- 5673 5674Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 5675preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 5676details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 5677 5678* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 5679 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 5680 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 5681 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 5682 INTEGRITY). 5683* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 5684 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 5685 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 5686* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 5687* Load Address 5688* Entry Point 5689* Image Name 5690* Image Timestamp 5691 5692The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 5693and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 5694CRC32 checksums. 5695 5696 5697Linux Support: 5698============== 5699 5700Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 5701easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 5702U-Boot. 5703 5704U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 5705special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 5706"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 5707instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 5708serves several purposes: 5709 5710- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 5711 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 5712 Flash memory footprint) 5713 5714- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 5715 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 5716 5717- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 5718 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 5719 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 5720 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 5721 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 5722 software is easier now. 5723 5724 5725Linux HOWTO: 5726============ 5727 5728Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 5729--------------------------------------- 5730 5731U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 5732configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 5733(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 5734Linux :-). 5735 5736But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 5737 5738Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 5739include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 5740Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 5741and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 5742as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 5743 5744Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. 5745If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there 5746is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See 5747doc/driver-model. 5748 5749 5750Configuring the Linux kernel: 5751----------------------------- 5752 5753No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 5754device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 5755 5756 5757Building a Linux Image: 5758----------------------- 5759 5760With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 5761not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 5762"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 5763U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 5764which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 5765100% compatible format. 5766 5767Example: 5768 5769 make TQM850L_defconfig 5770 make oldconfig 5771 make dep 5772 make uImage 5773 5774The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 5775encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 5776CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 5777 5778* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 5779 5780* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 5781 5782 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 5783 -R .note -R .comment \ 5784 -S vmlinux linux.bin 5785 5786* compress the binary image: 5787 5788 gzip -9 linux.bin 5789 5790* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 5791 5792 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 5793 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 5794 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 5795 5796 5797The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 5798with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 5799combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 5800byte header containing information about target architecture, 5801operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 5802stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 5803 5804"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 5805print the header information, or to build new images. 5806 5807In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 5808contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 5809checksum verification: 5810 5811 tools/mkimage -l image 5812 -l ==> list image header information 5813 5814The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 5815from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 5816 5817 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 5818 -n name -d data_file image 5819 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 5820 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 5821 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5822 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 5823 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 5824 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 5825 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 5826 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 5827 5828Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 5829address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 5830kernel version: 5831 5832- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 5833- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 5834 5835So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 5836 5837 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5838 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 5839 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 5840 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 5841 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5842 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5843 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5844 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5845 Load Address: 0x00000000 5846 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5847 5848To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 5849 5850 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 5851 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5852 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5853 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5854 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5855 Load Address: 0x00000000 5856 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5857 5858NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 5859speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 5860needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 5861need to be uncompressed: 5862 5863 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 5864 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5865 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 5866 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 5867 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 5868 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5869 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5870 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5871 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5872 Load Address: 0x00000000 5873 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5874 5875 5876Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5877when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5878 5879 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5880 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5881 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5882 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 5883 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 5884 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 5885 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 5886 Load Address: 0x00000000 5887 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5888 5889The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i" 5890option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d" 5891option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file" 5892from the image: 5893 5894 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file 5895 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file' 5896 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5897 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image' 5898 5899 5900Installing a Linux Image: 5901------------------------- 5902 5903To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 5904you must convert the image to S-Record format: 5905 5906 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 5907 5908The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 5909image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 5910address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to 5911specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads' 5912command. 5913 5914Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the 5915TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank): 5916 5917 => erase 40100000 401FFFFF 5918 5919 .......... done 5920 Erased 8 sectors 5921 5922 => loads 40100000 5923 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5924 ~>examples/image.srec 5925 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ... 5926 ... 5927 15989 15990 15991 15992 5928 [file transfer complete] 5929 [connected] 5930 ## Start Addr = 0x00000000 5931 5932 5933You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command; 5934this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data 5935corruption happened: 5936 5937 => imi 40100000 5938 5939 ## Checking Image at 40100000 ... 5940 Image Name: 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L 5941 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5942 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB 5943 Load Address: 00000000 5944 Entry Point: 0000000c 5945 Verifying Checksum ...

Usually these programs 6091 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 6092 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 6093 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 6094 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 6095 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 6096 being started. 6097 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 6098 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 6099 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 6100 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 6101 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 6102 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 6103 6104 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 6105 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 6106 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 6107 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 6108 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 6109 a multiple of 4 bytes). 6110 6111 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 6112 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 6113 flash memory. 6114 6115 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 6116 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 6117 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 6118 as command interpreter. 6119 6120Booting the Linux zImage: 6121------------------------- 6122 6123On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 6124using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 6125as the syntax of "bootm" command. 6126 6127Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 6128kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 6129address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 6130format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 6131 6132 6133Standalone HOWTO: 6134================= 6135 6136One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 6137run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 6138U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 6139 6140Two simple examples are included with the sources: 6141 6142"Hello World" Demo: 6143------------------- 6144 6145'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 6146application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 6147It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 6148like that: 6149 6150 => loads 6151 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6152 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 6153 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6154 [file transfer complete] 6155 [connected] 6156 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6157 6158 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 6179controlled by the following keys: 6180 6181 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 6182 b - enable interrupts and start timer 6183 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 6184 q - quit application 6185 6186 => loads 6187 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6188 ~>examples/timer.srec 6189 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6190 [file transfer complete] 6191 [connected] 6192 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6193 6194 => go 40004 6195 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 6196 TIMERS=0xfff00980 6197 Using timer 1 6198 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 6199 6200Hit 'b': 6201 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 6202 Enabling timer 6203Hit '?': 6204 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 6205 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 6206Hit '?': 6207 [q, b, e, ?] . 6208 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 6209Hit '?': 6210 [q, b, e, ?] . 6211 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 6212Hit '?': 6213 [q, b, e, ?] . 6214 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 6215Hit 'e': 6216 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 6217Hit 'q': 6218 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 6219 6220 6221Minicom warning: 6222================ 6223 6224Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 6225"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 6226consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 6227Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 6228especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 6229use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 6230http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 6231for help with kermit. 6232 6233 6234Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 6235configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 6236 6237 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 6254 6255 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 6256 # mkdir powerpc 6257 # ln -s powerpc machine 6258 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 6259 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 6260 6261Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 6262and U-Boot include files. 6263 6264Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 6265stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 6266proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 6267tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 6268meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 6269 6270 6271Implementation Internals: 6272========================= 6273 6274The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 6275implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 6276inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 6277hardware. 6278 6279 6280Initial Stack, Global Data: 6281--------------------------- 6282 6283The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 6284starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 6285system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 6286This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 6287is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 6288at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 6289options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 6290models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 6291MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 6292locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 6293 6294 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 6295 U-Boot mailing list: 6296 6297 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 6298 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 6299 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 6300 ... 6301 6302 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 6303 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 6304 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 6305 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 6306 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 6307 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 6308 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 6309 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 6310 6311 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 6312 is another option for the system designer to use as an 6313 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 6314 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 6315 board designers haven't used it for something that would 6316 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 6317 used. 6318 6319 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 6320 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 6321 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 6322 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 6323 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 6324 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 6325 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 6326 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 6327 you get the config right. 6328 6329 -Chris Hallinan 6330 DS4.COM, Inc. 6331 6332It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 6333code for the initialization procedures: 6334 6335* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 6336 to write it. 6337 6338* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized 6339 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 6340 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 6341 6342* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 6343 that. 6344 6345Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 6346normal global data to share information between the code. But it 6347turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 6348simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 6349functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 6350functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 6351the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 6352place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 6353reserve for this purpose. 6354 6355When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 6356relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 6357GCC's implementation. 6358 6359For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 6360 R1: stack pointer 6361 R2: reserved for system use 6362 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 6363 R5-R10: parameter passing 6364 R13: small data area pointer 6365 R30: GOT pointer 6366 R31: frame pointer 6367 6368 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 6369 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 6370 going back and forth between asm and C) 6371 6372 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 6373 6374 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 6375 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 6376 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 6377 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 6378 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 6379 624 text + 127 data). 6380 6381On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 6382 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 6383 6384 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 6385 6386On ARM, the following registers are used: 6387 6388 R0: function argument word/integer result 6389 R1-R3: function argument word 6390 R9: platform specific 6391 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 6392 R11: argument (frame) pointer 6393 R12: temporary workspace 6394 R13: stack pointer 6395 R14: link register 6396 R15: program counter 6397 6398 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 6399 6400 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 6401 6402On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 6403 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 6404 6405 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 6406 6407 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 6408 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 6409 6410On NDS32, the following registers are used: 6411 6412 R0-R1: argument/return 6413 R2-R5: argument 6414 R15: temporary register for assembler 6415 R16: trampoline register 6416 R28: frame pointer (FP) 6417 R29: global pointer (GP) 6418 R30: link register (LP) 6419 R31: stack pointer (SP) 6420 PC: program counter (PC) 6421 6422 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 6423 6424NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 6425or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 6426 6427Memory Management: 6428------------------ 6429 6430U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 6431MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 6432 6433The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 6434controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 6435memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 6436physical memory banks. 6437 6438U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 6439TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 6440booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 6441to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 6442memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 6443configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 6444Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 6445 6446Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 6447of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 6448 6449So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 6450this: 6451 6452 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 6453 : 6454 0x0000 1FFF 6455 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 6456 : 6457 : 6458 6459 : 6460 : 6461 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 6462 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 6463 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 6464 : 6465 0x00FD FFFF 6466 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 6467 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 6468 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 6469 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 6470 6471 6472System Initialization: 6473---------------------- 6474 6475In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 6476(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 6477configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory. 6478To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 6479To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 6480initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 6481which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 6482part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 6483the caches and the SIU. 6484 6485Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 6486preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 6487(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 6488on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 6489programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 6490simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 6491banks. 6492 6493When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 6494different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 6495bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 64960x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 6497contiguous memory starting from 0. 6498 6499Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 6500and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 6501Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 6502pages, and the final stack is set up. 6503 6504Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 6505until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 6506running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 6507new address in RAM. 6508 6509 6510U-Boot Porting Guide: 6511---------------------- 6512 6513[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 6514list, October 2002] 6515 6516 6517int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 6518{ 6519 sighandler_t no_more_time; 6520 6521 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 6522 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 6523 6524 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 6525 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 6526 return 0; 6527 } 6528 6529 Download latest U-Boot source; 6530 6531 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 6532 6533 if (clueless) 6534 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 6535 6536 while (learning) { 6537 Read the README file in the top level directory; 6538 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 6539 Read applicable doc/*.README; 6540 Read the source, Luke; 6541 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 6542 } 6543 6544 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 6545 Buy a BDI3000; 6546 else 6547 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 6548 6549 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 6550 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 6551 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 6552 } else { 6553 Create your own board support subdirectory; 6554 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 6555 } 6556 Edit new board/<myboard> files 6557 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 6558 6559 while (!accepted) { 6560 while (!running) { 6561 do { 6562 Add / modify source code; 6563 } until (compiles); 6564 Debug; 6565 if (clueless) 6566 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 6567 } 6568 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 6569 if (reasonable critiques) 6570 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 6571 else 6572 Defend code as written; 6573 } 6574 6575 return 0; 6576} 6577 6578void no_more_time (int sig) 6579{ 6580 hire_a_guru(); 6581} 6582 6583 6584Coding Standards: 6585----------------- 6586 6587All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 6588coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 6589"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 6590 6591Source files originating from a different project (for example the 6592MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 6593reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 6594sources. 6595 6596Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 6597Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 6598in your code. 6599 6600Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 6601- remove any trailing white space 6602- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 6603- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 6604- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 6605- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 6606 6607Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 6608with a request to reformat the changes. 6609 6610 6611Submitting Patches: 6612------------------- 6613 6614Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 6615establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 6616may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 6617 6618Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 6619 6620Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 6621see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 6622 6623When you send a patch, please include the following information with 6624it: 6625 6626* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 6627 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 6628 patch actually fixes something. 6629 6630* For new features: a description of the feature and your 6631 implementation. 6632 6633* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 6634 6635* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 6636 6637* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a 6638 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. 6639 6640* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 6641 document these in the README file. 6642 6643* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 6644 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 6645 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 6646 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 6647 with some other mail clients. 6648 6649 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 6650 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 6651 GNU diff. 6652 6653 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 6654 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 6655 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 6656 affected files). 6657 6658 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 6659 and compressed attachments must not be used. 6660 6661* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 6662 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 6663 6664* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 6665 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 6666 6667 6668Notes: 6669 6670* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 6671 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 6672 for any of the boards. 6673 6674* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 6675 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 6676 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 6677 6678* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 6679 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 6680 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 6681 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 6682 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 6683 modification. 6684 6685* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 6686 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 6687 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 6688 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 6689
