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

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

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

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

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_761320
685		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_773022
686		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_774769
687		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
688
689		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
690		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
691		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
692		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
693		set these options unless they apply!
694
695		COUNTER_FREQUENCY
696		Generic timer clock source frequency.
697
698		COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
699		Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
700		different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
701		at run time.
702
703		NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
704		do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
705		specific checks, but expect no product checks.
706		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
707		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
708		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
709		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
710		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_801819
711
712- Tegra SoC options:
713		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
714
715		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
716		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
717		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
718
719- Linux Kernel Interface:
720		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
721
722		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
723		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
724		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
725		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
726		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
727		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
728		Linux kernel.
729		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
730		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
731		default environment.
732
733		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
734
735		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
736		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
737		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
738
739		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
740
741		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
742		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
743		concepts).
744
745		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
746		 * New libfdt-based support
747		 * Adds the "fdt" command
748		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
749
750		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
751			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
752		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
753			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
754		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
755		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
756
757		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
758		addresses
759
760		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
761
762		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
763		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
764
765		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
766
767		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
768		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
769		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
770		the kernel.
771
772		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
773
774		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
775		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
776
777		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
778
779		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
780		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
781		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
782		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
783		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
784		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
785
786		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
787
788		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
789		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
790		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
791		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
792		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
793		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
794		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
795
796- vxWorks boot parameters:
797
798		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
799		environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
800		serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
801		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
802
803		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
804		the defaults discussed just above.
805
806- Cache Configuration:
807		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
808		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
809		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
810
811- Cache Configuration for ARM:
812		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
813				      controller
814		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
815					controller register space
816
817- Serial Ports:
818		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
819
820		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
821
822		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
823
824		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
825
826		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
827
828		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
829		the clock speed of the UARTs.
830
831		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
832
833		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
834		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
835		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
836
837		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
838
839		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
840		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
841
842- Console Interface:
843		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
844		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
845		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
846		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
847
848		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
849		port routines must be defined elsewhere
850		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
851
852		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
853		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
854		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
855			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
856						(default big endian)
857			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
858						rectangle fill
859						(cf. smiLynxEM)
860			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
861						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
862			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
863						(cols=pitch)
864			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
865			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
866			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
867						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
868			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
869			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
870						(i.e. rx51_kp_init())
871			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
872						(i.e. rx51_kp_tstc)
873			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
874						(i.e. rx51_kp_getc)
875			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
876						upper left corner
877			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
878						linux_logo.h for logo.
879						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
880			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
881						additional board info beside
882						the logo
883
884		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
885		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
886		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
887
888		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
889		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
890		environment 'console=serial'.
891
892		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
893		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
894		the "silent" environment variable. See
895		doc/README.silent for more information.
896
897		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
898			is 0x00.
899		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
900			is 0xa0.
901
902- Console Baudrate:
903		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
904		Select one of the baudrates listed in
905		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
906		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
907
908- Console Rx buffer length
909		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
910		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
911		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
912		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
913		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
914		the SMC.
915
916- Pre-Console Buffer:
917		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
918		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
919		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
920		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
921		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
922		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
923		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
924		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
925		earlier bytes are discarded.
926
927		Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
928		stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
929
930		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
931		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
932
933- Safe printf() functions
934		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
935		the printf() functions. These are defined in
936		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
937		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
938		If this option is not given then these functions will
939		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
940		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
941
942- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
943		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
944		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
945		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
946		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
947
948		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
949		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
950		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
951		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
952		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
953		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
954		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
955		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
956		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
957		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
958
959- Autoboot Command:
960		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
961		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
962		define a command string that is automatically executed
963		when no character is read on the console interface
964		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
965
966		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
967		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
968		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
969		environment value "bootargs".
970
971		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
972		The value of these goes into the environment as
973		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
974		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
975		RAM and NFS.
976
977- Bootcount:
978		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
979		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
980		cycle, see:
981		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
982
983		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
984		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
985		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
986		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
987		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
988		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
989		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
990		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
991		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
992
993- Pre-Boot Commands:
994		CONFIG_PREBOOT
995
996		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
997		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
998		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
999		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1000		entering interactive mode.
1001
1002		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1003		automatically generated or modified. For an example
1004		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1005		modified when the user holds down a certain
1006		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1007		booting the systems
1008
1009- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1010		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1011		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1012		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1013		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1014		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1015		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1016		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1017
1018- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
1019		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1020		Select one of the baudrates listed in
1021		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
1022
1023- Monitor Functions:
1024		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1025		from the build by using the #include files
1026		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1027		commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
1028
1029		The default command configuration includes all commands
1030		except those marked below with a "*".
1031
1032		CONFIG_CMD_AES		  AES 128 CBC encrypt/decrypt

1141		support you can write:
1142
1143		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1144		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1145
1146	Other Commands:
1147		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1148
1149	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1150		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1151		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1152		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1153		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1154		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1155		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1156		initial stack and some data.
1157
1158
1159		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1160
1161- Regular expression support:
1162		CONFIG_REGEX
1163		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1164		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1165		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1166		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1167
1168- Device tree:
1169		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1170		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1171		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1172		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1173		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1174		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1175
1176		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1177		be done using one of the two options below:
1178
1179		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1180		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1181		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1182		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1183		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1184		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1185
1186		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1187		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1188		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1189		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1190
1191			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1192
1193		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1194		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1195		still use the individual files if you need something more
1196		exotic.
1197
1198- Watchdog:
1199		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1200		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1201		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1202		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1203		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1204		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1205		available, then no further board specific code should
1206		be needed to use it.
1207
1208		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1209		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1210		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1211		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1212
1213		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1214		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1215
1216- U-Boot Version:
1217		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1218		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1219		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1220		version as printed by the "version" command.
1221		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1222		next reset.
1223
1224- Real-Time Clock:
1225
1226		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1227		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1228		following options:
1229
1230		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1231		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1232		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1233		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1234		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1235		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1236		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1237		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1238		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1239		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1240		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1241		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1242		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1243					  RV3029 RTC.
1244
1245		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1246		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1247
1248- GPIO Support:
1249		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1250
1251		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1252		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1253		pins supported by a particular chip.
1254
1255		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1256		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1257
1258- I/O tracing:
1259		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1260		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1261		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1262		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1263		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1264		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1265		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1266		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1267
1268		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1269		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1270		still continue to operate.
1271
1272			iotrace is enabled
1273			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1274			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1275			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
1276			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
1277			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
1278			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
1279
1280- Timestamp Support:
1281
1282		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1283		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1284		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1285		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1286
1287- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1288		Zero or more of the following:
1289		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1290		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1291				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1292		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1293		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1294				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1295				       disk/part_efi.c
1296		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1297
1298		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1299		CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1300		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1301
1302- IDE Reset method:
1303		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1304		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1305
1306		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1307		be performed by calling the function
1308			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1309		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1310
1311- ATAPI Support:
1312		CONFIG_ATAPI
1313
1314		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1315
1316- LBA48 Support
1317		CONFIG_LBA48
1318
1319		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1320		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1321		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1322		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1323
1324		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1325			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1326			Default is 32bit.
1327
1328- SCSI Support:
1329		At the moment only there is only support for the
1330		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1331		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.

1333		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1334		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1335		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1336		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1337		devices.
1338		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1339

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

2315		    bus.
2316		  - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
2317		    CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset

2428
2429		additional defines:
2430
2431		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2432		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you
2433		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2434		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2435		omit this define.
2436
2437		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2438		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2439		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2440		omit this define.
2441
2442		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2443		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2444		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2445		define.
2446
2447		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2448		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2449		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2450		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2451		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2452

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

3325
3326- legacy image format:
3327		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3328		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3329
3330		Default:
3331		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3332
3333		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3334		disable the legacy image format
3335
3336		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3337		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3338
3339- FIT image support:
3340		CONFIG_FIT
3341		Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3342
3343		CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3344		When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3345		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3346		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3347		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3348		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3349
3350		CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3351		This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3352		using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If
3353		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive
3354		hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it.
3355		See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3356
3357		WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3358		signature check the legacy image format is default
3359		disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3360		enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3361
3362		CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3363		Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3364		For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3365		with this option.
3366
3367- Standalone program support:
3368		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3369
3370		This option defines a board specific value for the
3371		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3372		overwriting the architecture dependent default
3373		settings.
3374
3375- Frame Buffer Address:
3376		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3377
3378		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3379		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3380		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3381		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3382		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3383		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3384		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3385		configured panel size.
3386
3387		Please see board_init_f function.
3388
3389- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3390		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3391		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3392		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3393
3394		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3395		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3396
3397- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3398		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3399
3400		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3401		Needed for mtdparts command support.
3402
3403		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3404
3405		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3406		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3407
3408- UBI support
3409		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3410
3411		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3412		with the UBI flash translation layer
3413
3414		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3415
3416		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3417
3418		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3419		warnings and errors enabled.
3420
3421
3422		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3423		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3424		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3425		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3426		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3427		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3428
3429		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3430		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3431		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3432		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3433		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3434
3435		default: 4096
3436
3437		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3438		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3439		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3440		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3441		flash), this value is ignored.
3442
3443		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3444		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3445		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3446		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3447		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3448		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3449
3450		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3451		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3452		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3453		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3454		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3455		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3456		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3457		partition.
3458
3459		default: 20
3460
3461		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3462		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3463		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3464		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3465		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3466		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3467		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3468		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3469		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3470		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3471		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3472		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3473
3474		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3475		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3476		without a fastmap.
3477		default: 0
3478
3479		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3480		Enable UBI fastmap debug
3481		default: 0
3482
3483- UBIFS support
3484		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3485
3486		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3487		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3488
3489		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3490
3491		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3492
3493		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3494		warnings and errors enabled.
3495
3496- SPL framework
3497		CONFIG_SPL
3498		Enable building of SPL globally.
3499
3500		CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3501		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3502
3503		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3504		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3505		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3506		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3507		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3508		must not be both defined at the same time.
3509
3510		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3511		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3512		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3513		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3514		not exceed it.
3515
3516		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3517		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3518
3519		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3520		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3521		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3522
3523		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3524		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3525
3526		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3527		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3528		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3529		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3530		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3531		must not be both defined at the same time.
3532
3533		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3534		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3535
3536		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3537		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3538		loaded does not have a signature.
3539		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3540		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3541		will be caught.
3542		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3543		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3544		and thus should be skipped silently.
3545
3546		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3547		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3548		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3549		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3550
3551		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3552		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3553		When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3554		it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3555		can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3556
3557		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3558		The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3559
3560		CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3561		Enable the SPL framework under common/.  This framework
3562		supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3563		NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3564
3565		CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3566		Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3567		See also: doc/README.falcon
3568
3569		CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3570		For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3571		about the running system.
3572
3573		CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3574		Arch init code should be built for a very small image

3593		Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from
3594		when the MMC is being used in raw mode.
3595

3597		Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3598		used in raw mode
3599
3600		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3601		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3602		used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)

3629		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3630
3631		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3632		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3633		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3634		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3635		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3636
3637		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3638		Avoid SPL relocation
3639
3640		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3641		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires

3646
3647		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3648		Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3649

3656		environment on NAND support within SPL.
3657
3658		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3659		Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3660		if you need to save space.
3661
3662		CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT
3663		Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for
3664		drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary.
3665
3666		CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3667		Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3668		SPL binary.
3669
3670		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3671		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3672		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3673		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3674		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3675		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3676		to read U-Boot
3677
3678		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3679		Add support NAND boot
3680
3681		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3682		Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3683
3684		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3685		Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3686
3687		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3688		Size of image to load
3689
3690		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3691		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3692
3693		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3694		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3695		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3696
3697		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3698		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3699		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3700
3701		CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
3702		Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary

3716		CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
3717		Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3718
3719		CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3720		Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3721		It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3722		CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3723
3724		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3725		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3726		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3727		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3728		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3729		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3730
3731		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3732		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3733		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3734		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3735
3736		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3737		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3738		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3739		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3740		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3741
3742- TPL framework
3743		CONFIG_TPL
3744		Enable building of TPL globally.
3745
3746		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3747		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3748		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3749		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3750		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3751		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3752
3753Modem Support:
3754--------------
3755
3756[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3757
3758- Modem support enable:
3759		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3760
3761- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3762		CONFIG_HWFLOW
3763
3764- Modem debug support:
3765		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3766
3767		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3768		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3769
3770- Interrupt support (PPC):
3771
3772		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3773		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3774		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3775		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3776		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3777		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3778		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3779		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3780		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3781		general timer_interrupt().
3782
3783- General:
3784
3785		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3786		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3787		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3788		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3789		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3790		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3791		initialization.
3792
3793		If there are no modem init strings in the
3794		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3795		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3796		suppressed, though.
3797
3798		See also: doc/README.Modem
3799
3800Board initialization settings:
3801------------------------------
3802
3803During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3804to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3805before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3806following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3807architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3808typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3809
3810- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3811- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3812- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3813- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3814
3815Configuration Settings:
3816-----------------------
3817
3818- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3819		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3820
3821- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3822		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3823
3824- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3825		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3826
3827- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3828		prompt for user input.
3829
3830- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3831
3832- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3833
3834- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3835
3836- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3837		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3838		booted
3839
3840- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3841		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3842
3843- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3844		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3845
3846- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3847		If the board specific function
3848			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3849		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3850		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3851
3852- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3853		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3854
3855- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3856		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3857
3858- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3859		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3860		simple memory test.
3861
3862- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3863		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3864
3865- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3866		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3867		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3868
3869- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3870		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3871		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3872		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3873		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3874		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3875		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3876		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3877		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3878		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3879
3880		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3881		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3882		be touched.
3883
3884		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3885		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3886		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3887		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3888		problems.
3889
3890- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3891		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3892
3893- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3894		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3895
3896- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:

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

4741		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
4742
4743- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4744		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4745		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
4746

4757		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4758		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4759
4760- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4761		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4762		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4763		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

4765
4766- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,

4775
4776- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4777		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4778		required.
4779
4780- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4781		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4782		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4783		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4784		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4785		by coreboot or similar.

4829
4830- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM

4847- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4848		Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4849
4850- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4851		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4852		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4853
4854- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4855		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4856
4857- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4858		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds

4860			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4861		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1

4869- CONFIG_RMII
4870		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4871		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4872		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4873
4874- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4875		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4876		The syntax is:
4877
4878		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4879
4880		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4881		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4882		area should have.
4883
4884- CONFIG_LOOPW
4885		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4886		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4887
4888- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4889		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4890		"md/mw" commands.
4891		Examples:
4892
4893		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4894		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4895
4896		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4897		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4898
4899		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4900		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4901
4902- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4903		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4904		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4905		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4906		relocate itself into RAM.
4907
4908		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4909		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4910		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4911		these initializations itself.
4912
4913- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4914		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4915		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4916		compiling a NAND SPL.
4917
4918- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4919		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4920		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4921		It is loaded by the SPL.
4922
4923- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4924		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4925		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4926		previous 4k of the .text section.
4927
4928- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4929		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4930		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4931		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4932		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4933		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4934		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4935		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4936
4937- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4938  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4939		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4940		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4941		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4942
4943- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4944		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4945		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4946
4947- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4948		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4949
4950		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4951
4952- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4953		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4954
4955- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4956		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4957		driver that uses this:
4958		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4959
4960Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4961-----------------------------------
4962
4963The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4964loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4965This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4966are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4967within that device.
4968
4969- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4970	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
4971	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4972	is also specified.
4973
4974- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4975	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
4976	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4977	is also specified.
4978
4979- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4980	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4981	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4982	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4983	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4984
4985- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4986	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4987	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4988	virtual address in NOR flash.
4989
4990- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4991	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4992	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4993
4994- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4995	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4996	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4997
4998- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4999	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5000	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5001
5002- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5003	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5004	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
5005	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5006	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
5007	master's memory space.
5008
5009Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
5010---------------------------------------------------------
5011The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5012"firmware".
5013This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5014are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5015within that device.
5016
5017- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5018	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5019
5020- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5021	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
5022	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5023	is also specified.
5024
5025- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5026	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
5027	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5028	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5029	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5030
5031- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5032	Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5033	normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
5034	virtual address in NOR flash.
5035
5036Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
5037-------------------------------------------
5038The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
5039"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
5040This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
5041
5042- CONFIG_FSL_DEBUG_SERVER
5043	Enable the Debug Server for Layerscape SoCs.
5044
5045- CONFIG_SYS_DEBUG_SERVER_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE
5046	Define minimum DDR size required for debug server image
5047
5048- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE_MIN
5049	Define minimum DDR size to be hided from top of the DDR memory
5050
5051Reproducible builds
5052-------------------
5053
5054In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
5055process have to be set to a fixed value.
5056
5057This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
5058SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
5059option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
5060
5061SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
5062
5063Building the Software:
5064======================
5065
5066Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5067and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5068all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5069(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5070recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5071which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
5072
5073If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5074have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5075you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5076Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5077necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
5078
5079	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5080	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
5081
5082Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5083      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5084      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5085      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
5086
5087       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5088
5089      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5090      be executed on computers running Windows.
5091
5092U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5093sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
5094is done by typing:
5095
5096	make NAME_defconfig
5097
5098where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5099rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5100
5101Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5102      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5103      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5104      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5105      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5106
5107      make TQM823L_defconfig
5108	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5109
5110      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5111	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5112
5113      etc.
5114
5115
5116Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5117images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5118
5119- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5120- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5121- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5122
5123By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5124in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5125this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5126
51271. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5128
5129	make O=/tmp/build distclean
5130	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5131	make O=/tmp/build all
5132
51332. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5134
5135	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5136	make distclean
5137	make NAME_defconfig
5138	make all
5139
5140Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5141variable.
5142
5143
5144Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5145for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5146native "make".
5147
5148
5149If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5150to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5151steps:
5152
51531.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
5154    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5155    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
51562.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5157    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5158    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51593.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5160    your board
51613.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5162    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
51634.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
51645.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5165    to be installed on your target system.
51666.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5167    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5168
5169
5170Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5171==============================================================
5172
5173If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5174or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5175provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5176the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5177official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5178
5179But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5180cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5181the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5182just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5183for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5184select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5185environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5186you can type
5187
5188	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5189
5190or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5191
5192	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5193
5194When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5195U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5196setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5197built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5198<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5199location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5200variable. For example:
5201
5202	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5203	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5204	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5205
5206With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5207log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5208during the whole build process.

5263Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
5264========================================
5265
5266TODO.
5267
5268For now: just type "help <command>".
5269
5270
5271Environment Variables:
5272======================
5273
5274U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5275can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5276
5277Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5278"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5279without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5280environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5281working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5282environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5283
5284Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5285
5286List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5287
5288  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5289
5290  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5291
5292  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5293
5294  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5295
5296  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
5297
5298  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5299		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5300		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5301		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5302		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5303		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5304		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5305		  bootm_mapsize.
5306
5307  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5308		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5309		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5310		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5311		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5312		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5313		  used otherwise.
5314
5315  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5316		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5317		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5318		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5319		  environment variable.
5320
5321  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5322		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5323		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5324
5325  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5326		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5327		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5328		  load any image using TFTP
5329
5330  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5331		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5332		  be automatically started (by internally calling
5333		  "bootm")
5334
5335		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5336		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5337		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5338		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5339		  data.
5340
5341  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5342		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5343		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5344		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5345		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5346		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5347		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5348		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5349		  access it during the boot procedure.
5350
5351		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5352		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
5353		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5354		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5355		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5356		  must be accessible by the kernel.
5357
5358  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5359		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5360		  defined.
5361
5362  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5363		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5364		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5365		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5366		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
5367
5368  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
5369		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5370		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5371		  is usually what you want since it allows for
5372		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5373		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5374		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5375		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5376		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5377		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5378		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5379
5380		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5381		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5382		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5383		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5384		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5385		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
5386
5387		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5388
5389		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5390		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5391		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5392		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5393		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5394		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
5395		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5396
5397  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5398
5399  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5400		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5401
5402  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5403
5404  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5405
5406  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5407
5408  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5409
5410  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5411
5412  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
5413
5414  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
5415		  For example you can do the following
5416
5417		  => setenv ethact FEC
5418		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5419		  => setenv ethact SCC
5420		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5421
5422  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5423		  available network interfaces.
5424		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5425
5426  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
5427		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
5428		  When set to "once" the network operation will
5429		  fail when all the available network interfaces
5430		  are tried once without success.
5431		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5432		  themselves.
5433
5434  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
5435
5436  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5437		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5438		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5439		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5440		  is silent.
5441
5442  tftpsrcp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5443		  UDP source port.
5444
5445  tftpdstp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5446		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5447
5448  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5449		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
5450
5451  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5452		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5453		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5454		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5455		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5456		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5457		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
5458
5459  tftptimeoutcountmax	- maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5460		  unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5461		  can happen during a single file transfer before that
5462		  transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5463		  'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5464		  downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5465		  unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5466
5467  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5468		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5469		  VLAN tagged frames.
5470
5471The following image location variables contain the location of images
5472used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5473not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5474variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5475server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5476loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5477flash or offset in NAND flash.
5478
5479*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5480boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5481boards use these variables for other purposes.
5482
5483Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
5484-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
5485u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
5486Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
5487device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
5488ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
5489
5490The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5491updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5492depending the information provided by your boot server:
5493
5494  bootfile	- see above
5495  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
5496  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5497  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5498  hostname	- Target hostname
5499  ipaddr	- see above
5500  netmask	- Subnet Mask
5501  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5502  serverip	- see above
5503
5504
5505There are two special Environment Variables:
5506
5507  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
5508		  as type string and/or serial number
5509  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
5510
5511These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5512the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5513once they have been set once.
5514
5515
5516Further special Environment Variables:
5517
5518  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5519		  with the "version" command. This variable is
5520		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5521
5522
5523Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5524only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5525
5526
5527Callback functions for environment variables:
5528---------------------------------------------
5529
5530For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5531when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
5532be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
5533deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5534effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5535
5536The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5537U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5538
5539These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
5540static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5541in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5542associations.  The list must be in the following format:
5543
5544	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5545	list = entry[,list]
5546
5547If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5548Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5549
5550Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5551with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5552override any association in the static list. You can define
5553CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5554".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5555
5556If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5557regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5558the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5559
5560
5561Command Line Parsing:
5562=====================
5563
5564There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5565the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5566
5567Old, simple command line parser:
5568--------------------------------
5569
5570- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5571- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5572- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5573- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5574  for example:
5575	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5576- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5577	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5578
5579Hush shell:
5580-----------
5581
5582- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5583  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5584  until...do...done, ...
5585- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5586  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5587  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5588  command
5589
5590General rules:
5591--------------
5592
5593(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5594    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5595    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5596    executed anyway.
5597
5598(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5599    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5600    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5601    variables are not executed.
5602
5603Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5604=======================================
5605
5606Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5607such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5608"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5609
5610Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5611MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5612"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5613
5614If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5615in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5616ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5617variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5618
5619o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5620  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5621
5622o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5623  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5624  used.
5625
5626o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5627  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5628
5629o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5630  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5631  warning is printed.
5632
5633o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5634  is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5635  a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5636
5637If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5638will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5639may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5640The naming convention is as follows:
5641"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5642
5643Image Formats:
5644==============
5645
5646U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5647images in two formats:
5648
5649New uImage format (FIT)
5650-----------------------
5651
5652Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5653to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5654components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5655SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5656
5657
5658Old uImage format
5659-----------------
5660
5661Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5662preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5663details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5664
5665* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5666  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5667  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5668  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5669  INTEGRITY).
5670* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5671  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5672  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5673* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5674* Load Address
5675* Entry Point
5676* Image Name
5677* Image Timestamp
5678
5679The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5680and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5681CRC32 checksums.
5682
5683
5684Linux Support:
5685==============
5686
5687Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5688easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5689U-Boot.
5690
5691U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5692special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5693"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5694instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5695serves several purposes:
5696
5697- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5698  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5699  Flash memory footprint)
5700
5701- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5702  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5703
5704- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5705  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5706  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5707  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5708  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5709  software is easier now.
5710
5711
5712Linux HOWTO:
5713============
5714
5715Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5716---------------------------------------
5717
5718U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5719configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5720(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5721Linux :-).
5722
5723But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5724
5725Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5726include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5727Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5728and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5729as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5730
5731Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5732If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5733is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5734doc/driver-model.
5735
5736
5737Configuring the Linux kernel:
5738-----------------------------
5739
5740No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5741device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5742
5743
5744Building a Linux Image:
5745-----------------------
5746
5747With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5748not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5749"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5750U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5751which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5752100% compatible format.
5753
5754Example:
5755
5756	make TQM850L_defconfig
5757	make oldconfig
5758	make dep
5759	make uImage
5760
5761The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5762encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5763CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5764
5765* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5766
5767* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5768
5769	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5770				 -R .note -R .comment \
5771				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5772
5773* compress the binary image:
5774
5775	gzip -9 linux.bin
5776
5777* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5778
5779	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5780		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5781		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5782
5783
5784The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5785with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5786combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5787byte header containing information about target architecture,
5788operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5789stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5790
5791"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5792print the header information, or to build new images.
5793
5794In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5795contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5796checksum verification:
5797
5798	tools/mkimage -l image
5799	  -l ==> list image header information
5800
5801The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5802from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5803
5804	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5805		      -n name -d data_file image
5806	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5807	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5808	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5809	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5810	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5811	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5812	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5813	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5814
5815Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5816address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5817kernel version:
5818
5819- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5820- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5821
5822So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5823
5824	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5825	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5826	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5827	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5828	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5829	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5830	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5831	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5832	Load Address: 0x00000000
5833	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5834
5835To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5836
5837	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5838	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5839	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5840	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)

5844
5845NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5846speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5847needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5848need to be uncompressed:

5861
5862
5863Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5864when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5865
5866	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5867	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5868	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5873	Load Address: 0x00000000
5874	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5875
5876The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5877option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5878option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5879from the image:
5880
5881	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5882	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5883	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5884	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5885
5886
5887Installing a Linux Image:
5888-------------------------
5889
5890To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5891you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5892
5893	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5894
5895The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5896image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5897address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5898specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5899command.
5900
5901Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5902TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5903
5904	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5905
5906	.......... done
5907	Erased 8 sectors
5908
5909	=> loads 40100000

5915	[file transfer complete]
5916	[connected]
5917	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5918
5919
5920You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5921this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5922corruption happened:
5923
5924	=> imi 40100000
5925

5934
5935Boot Linux:
5936-----------
5937
5938The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5939memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5940of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5941parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5942"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5943
5944
5945	=> printenv bootargs
5946	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5947
5948	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5949

6019-----------
6020
6021First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
6022titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
6023following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
6024flat device tree:

6067More About U-Boot Image Types:
6068------------------------------
6069
6070U-Boot supports the following image types:
6071
6072   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6073	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6074	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6075	the Standalone Program.
6076   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6077	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6078	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6079	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6080	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6081   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6082	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6083	being started.
6084   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6085	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6086	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6087	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6088	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6089	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
6090
6091	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6092	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6093	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6094	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6095	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6096	a multiple of 4 bytes).
6097
6098   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6099	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6100	flash memory.
6101
6102   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6103	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6104	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6105	as command interpreter.
6106
6107Booting the Linux zImage:
6108-------------------------
6109
6110On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6111using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6112as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6113
6114Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
6115kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6116address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6117format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
6118
6119
6120Standalone HOWTO:
6121=================
6122
6123One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6124run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6125U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6126
6127Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6128
6129"Hello World" Demo:
6130-------------------
6131
6132'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6133application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6134It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6135like that:
6136
6137	=> loads
6138	## Ready for S-Record download ...
6139	~>examples/hello_world.srec
6140	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6141	[file transfer complete]
6142	[connected]
6143	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6144
6145	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6146	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6147	Hello World
6148	argc = 7
6149	argv[0] = "40004"
6150	argv[1] = "Hello"
6151	argv[2] = "World!"
6152	argv[3] = "This"
6153	argv[4] = "is"
6154	argv[5] = "a"
6155	argv[6] = "test."
6156	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6157	Hit any key to exit ...
6158
6159	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6160
6161Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6162handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6163Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6164The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6165character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6166controlled by the following keys:
6167
6168	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6169	b - enable interrupts and start timer
6170	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6171	q - quit application
6172
6173	=> loads
6174	## Ready for S-Record download ...

6208Minicom warning:
6209================
6210
6211Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6212"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6213consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6214Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6215especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
6216use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
6217http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6218for help with kermit.
6219
6220
6221Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6222configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
6223
6224	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
6225	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N
6226	Y  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r	 N    D	   Y	   N	  N
6227
6228
6229NetBSD Notes:
6230=============
6231
6232Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6233(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6234
6235Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6236NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6237need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6238Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6239attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6240missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6241
6242	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6243	# mkdir powerpc
6244	# ln -s powerpc machine
6245	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6246	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6247
6248Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6249and U-Boot include files.
6250
6251Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6252stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6253proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6254tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6255meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6256
6257
6258Implementation Internals:
6259=========================
6260
6261The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6262implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6263inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6264hardware.
6265
6266
6267Initial Stack, Global Data:
6268---------------------------
6269
6270The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6271starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6272system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6273This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6274is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6275at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6276options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6277models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6278MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6279locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6280
6281	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6282	U-Boot mailing list:

6288
6289	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6290	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6291	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6292	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6293	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6294	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6295	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6296	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6297
6298	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6299	is another option for the system designer to use as an
6300	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6301	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6302	board designers haven't used it for something that would
6303	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6304	used.
6305
6306	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6307	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6308	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6309	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6310	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6311	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6312	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6313	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6314	you get the config right.

6319It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6320code for the initialization procedures:
6321
6322* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6323  to write it.
6324
6325* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6326  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6327  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6328
6329* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6330  that.
6331
6332Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6333normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6334turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6335simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6336functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6337functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6338the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6339place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6340reserve for this purpose.
6341
6342When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6343relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
6344GCC's implementation.
6345
6346For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6347	R1:	stack pointer
6348	R2:	reserved for system use
6349	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
6350	R5-R10: parameter passing
6351	R13:	small data area pointer
6352	R30:	GOT pointer
6353	R31:	frame pointer
6354
6355	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6356	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6357	going back and forth between asm and C)
6358
6359    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6360
6361    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6362    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6363    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6364    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6365    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6366    624 text + 127 data).
6367
6368On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6369	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6370
6371    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6372
6373On ARM, the following registers are used:
6374
6375	R0:	function argument word/integer result
6376	R1-R3:	function argument word
6377	R9:	platform specific
6378	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6379	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
6380	R12:	temporary workspace
6381	R13:	stack pointer
6382	R14:	link register
6383	R15:	program counter
6384
6385    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6386
6387    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6388
6389On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6390	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6391
6392    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6393
6394    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6395    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6396
6397On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6398
6399	R0-R1:	argument/return
6400	R2-R5:	argument
6401	R15:	temporary register for assembler
6402	R16:	trampoline register
6403	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
6404	R29:	global pointer (GP)
6405	R30:	link register (LP)
6406	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
6407	PC:	program counter (PC)
6408
6409    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6410
6411NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6412or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6413
6414Memory Management:
6415------------------
6416
6417U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6418MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6419
6420The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6421controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6422memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6423physical memory banks.
6424
6425U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6426TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6427booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6428to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6429memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6430configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6431Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6432
6433Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6434of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6435
6436So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6437this:
6438
6439	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
6440	      :
6441	0x0000 1FFF
6442	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
6443	      :
6444	      :
6445
6446	      :
6447	      :
6448	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6449	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6450	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
6451	      :
6452	0x00FD FFFF
6453	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6454	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6455	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6456	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
6457
6458
6459System Initialization:
6460----------------------
6461
6462In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6463(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6464configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6465To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6466To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6467initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6468which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6469part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6470the caches and the SIU.
6471
6472Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6473preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6474(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6475on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6476programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6477simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6478banks.
6479
6480When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6481different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6482bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64830x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6484contiguous memory starting from 0.
6485
6486Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6487and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6488Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6489pages, and the final stack is set up.
6490
6491Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6492until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6493running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6494new address in RAM.

6571Coding Standards:
6572-----------------
6573
6574All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6575coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6576"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6577
6578Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6579MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6580reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6581sources.
6582
6583Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6584Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6585in your code.
6586
6587Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6588- remove any trailing white space
6589- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6590- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6591- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6592- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6593
6594Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6595with a request to reformat the changes.
6596
6597
6598Submitting Patches:
6599-------------------
6600
6601Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6602establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6603may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6604
6605Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6606
6607Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6608see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6609
6610When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6611it:
6612
6613* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6614  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6615  patch actually fixes something.
6616
6617* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6618  implementation.
6619
6620* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6621
6622* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6623
6624* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6625  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6626
6627* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6628  document these in the README file.
6629
6630* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6631  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6632  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6633  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6634  with some other mail clients.
6635
6636  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6637  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6638  GNU diff.
6639
6640  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6641  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6642  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6643  affected files).
6644
6645  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6646  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6647
6648* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6649  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6650
6651* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6652  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6653
6654
6655Notes:
6656
6657* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6658  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6659  for any of the boards.
6660
6661* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6662  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6663  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6664
6665* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6666  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6667  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6668  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6669  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6670  modification.
6671
6672* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6673  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6674  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6675  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
