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

660		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
661
662		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
663		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to

665
666- ARM options:
667		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
668
669		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
670		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
671
672		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
673
674		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
675		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
676		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
677		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
678		GCC.
679
680		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
681		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
682		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
683		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
684		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
685		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
686
687		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
688		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
689		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
690		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
691		set these options unless they apply!
692
693		COUNTER_FREQUENCY
694		Generic timer clock source frequency.
695
696		COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL

702		do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
703		specific checks, but expect no product checks.
704		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
705		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
706		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
707		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
708
709- Tegra SoC options:
710		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
711
712		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
713		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
714		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
715
716- Linux Kernel Interface:
717		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
718
719		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
720		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
721		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
722		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
723		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
724		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
725		Linux kernel.
726		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
727		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
728		default environment.
729
730		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
731
732		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
733		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
734		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
735
736		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
737
738		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
739		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
740		concepts).
741
742		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
743		 * New libfdt-based support
744		 * Adds the "fdt" command
745		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
746
747		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
748			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
749		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
750			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
751		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
752		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
753
754		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
755		addresses
756
757		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
758
759		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
760		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
761
762		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
763
764		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
765		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
766		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
767		the kernel.
768
769		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
770
771		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
772		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
773
774		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
775
776		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
777		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
778		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
779		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
780		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
781		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
782
783		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
784
785		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
786		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
787		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
788		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
789		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
790		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
791		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
792
793- vxWorks boot parameters:
794
795		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
796		environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
797		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
798
799		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
800		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
801		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
802		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
803
804		CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
805
806		Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
807
808		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
809		the defaults discussed just above.
810
811- Cache Configuration:
812		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
813		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
814		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
815
816- Cache Configuration for ARM:
817		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
818				      controller
819		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
820					controller register space
821
822- Serial Ports:
823		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
824
825		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
826
827		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
828
829		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
830
831		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
832
833		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
834		the clock speed of the UARTs.
835
836		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
837
838		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
839		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
840		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
841
842		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
843
844		Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
845		have separate receive and transmit line control registers.  Set
846		this variable to initialize the extra register.
847
848		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
849
850		On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
851		boot loader that has already initialized the UART.  Define this
852		variable to flush the UART at init time.
853
854		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
855
856		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
857		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
858
859- Console Interface:
860		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
861		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
862		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
863		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
864
865		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
866		port routines must be defined elsewhere
867		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
868
869		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
870		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
871		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
872			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
873						(default big endian)
874			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
875						rectangle fill
876						(cf. smiLynxEM)
877			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
878						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
879			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
880						(cols=pitch)
881			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
882			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
883			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
884						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
885			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
886			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
887						(i.e. i8042_kbd_init())
888			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
889						(i.e. i8042_tstc)
890			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
891						(i.e. i8042_getc)
892			CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR	cursor drawing on/off
893						(requires blink timer
894						cf. i8042.c)
895			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c)
896			CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME	display time/date info in
897						upper right corner
898						(requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE)
899			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
900						upper left corner
901			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
902						linux_logo.h for logo.
903						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
904			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
905						additional board info beside
906						the logo
907
908		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
909		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
910		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
911
912		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
913		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
914		environment 'console=serial'.
915
916		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
917		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
918		the "silent" environment variable. See
919		doc/README.silent for more information.
920
921		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
922			is 0x00.
923		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
924			is 0xa0.
925
926- Console Baudrate:
927		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
928		Select one of the baudrates listed in
929		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
930		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
931
932- Console Rx buffer length
933		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
934		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
935		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
936		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
937		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
938		the SMC.
939
940- Pre-Console Buffer:
941		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
942		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
943		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
944		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
945		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
946		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
947		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
948		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
949		earlier bytes are discarded.
950
951		Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
952		stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
953
954		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
955		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
956
957- Safe printf() functions
958		Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
959		the printf() functions. These are defined in
960		include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
961		so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
962		If this option is not given then these functions will
963		silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
964		you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
965
966- Boot Delay:	CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
967		Delay before automatically booting the default image;
968		set to -1 to disable autoboot.
969		set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
970		(even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
971
972		See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
973		work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
974		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
975		CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
976		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
977		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
978		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
979		CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
980		CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
981		CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
982
983- Autoboot Command:
984		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
985		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
986		define a command string that is automatically executed
987		when no character is read on the console interface
988		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
989
990		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
991		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
992		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
993		environment value "bootargs".
994
995		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
996		The value of these goes into the environment as
997		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
998		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
999		RAM and NFS.
1000
1001- Bootcount:
1002		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1003		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1004		cycle, see:
1005		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1006
1007		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1008		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1009		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1010		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1011		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1012		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1013		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1014		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1015		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1016
1017- Pre-Boot Commands:
1018		CONFIG_PREBOOT
1019
1020		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1021		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1022		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1023		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1024		entering interactive mode.
1025
1026		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1027		automatically generated or modified. For an example
1028		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1029		modified when the user holds down a certain
1030		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1031		booting the systems
1032
1033- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1034		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1035		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1036		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1037		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1038		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1039		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1040		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1041
1042- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
1043		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1044		Select one of the baudrates listed in
1045		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
1046
1047- Monitor Functions:
1048		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1049		from the build by using the #include files
1050		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1051		commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
1052
1053		The default command configuration includes all commands
1054		except those marked below with a "*".
1055
1056		CONFIG_CMD_AES		  AES 128 CBC encrypt/decrypt
1057		CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV	* ask for env variable

1165		support you can write:
1166
1167		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1168		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1169
1170	Other Commands:
1171		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1172
1173	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1174		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1175		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1176		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1177		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1178		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1179		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1180		initial stack and some data.
1181
1182
1183		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1184
1185- Regular expression support:
1186		CONFIG_REGEX
1187		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1188		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1189		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1190		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1191
1192- Device tree:
1193		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1194		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1195		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1196		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1197		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1198		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1199
1200		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1201		be done using one of the two options below:
1202
1203		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1204		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1205		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1206		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1207		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1208		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1209
1210		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1211		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1212		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1213		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1214
1215			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1216
1217		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1218		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1219		still use the individual files if you need something more
1220		exotic.
1221
1222- Watchdog:
1223		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1224		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1225		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1226		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1227		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1228		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1229		available, then no further board specific code should
1230		be needed to use it.
1231
1232		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1233		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1234		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1235		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1236
1237		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1238		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1239
1240- U-Boot Version:
1241		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1242		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1243		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1244		version as printed by the "version" command.
1245		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1246		next reset.
1247
1248- Real-Time Clock:
1249
1250		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1251		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1252		following options:
1253
1254		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1255		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1256		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1257		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1258		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1259		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1260		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1261		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1262		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1263		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1264		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1265		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1266		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1267					  RV3029 RTC.
1268
1269		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1270		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1271
1272- GPIO Support:
1273		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1274
1275		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1276		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1277		pins supported by a particular chip.
1278
1279		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1280		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1281
1282- I/O tracing:
1283		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1284		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1285		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1286		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1287		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1288		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1289		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1290		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1291
1292		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1293		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1294		still continue to operate.
1295
1296			iotrace is enabled
1297			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1298			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1299			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
1300			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
1301			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
1302			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
1303
1304- Timestamp Support:
1305
1306		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1307		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1308		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1309		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1310
1311- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1312		Zero or more of the following:
1313		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1314		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1315				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1316		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1317		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1318				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1319				       disk/part_efi.c
1320		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1321
1322		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1323		CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1324		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1325
1326- IDE Reset method:
1327		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1328		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1329
1330		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1331		be performed by calling the function
1332			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1333		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1334
1335- ATAPI Support:
1336		CONFIG_ATAPI
1337
1338		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1339
1340- LBA48 Support
1341		CONFIG_LBA48
1342
1343		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1344		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1345		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1346		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1347
1348		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1349			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1350			Default is 32bit.
1351
1352- SCSI Support:
1353		At the moment only there is only support for the
1354		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1355		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1356
1357		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1358		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1359		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1360		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1361		devices.
1362		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1363
1364		The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1365		SCSI devices found during the last scan.

1525		CONFIG_TPM
1526		Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides
1527		functional interfaces to some TPM commands.
1528		Requires support for a TPM device.
1529
1530		CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
1531		Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
1532		Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
1533
1534- USB Support:
1535		At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1536		supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define
1537		CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1538		define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1539		and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1540		storage devices.
1541		Note:
1542		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1543		(TEAC FD-05PUB).
1544		MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1545			CONFIG_USB_CLOCK
1546				for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1547			CONFIG_PSC3_USB
1548				for USB on PSC3
1549			CONFIG_USB_CONFIG
1550				for differential drivers: 0x00001000
1551				for single ended drivers: 0x00005000
1552				for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100
1553				for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100
1554			CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL
1555				May be defined to allow interrupt polling
1556				instead of using asynchronous interrupts
1557
1558		CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the
1559		txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset.
1560
1561		CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2
1562		HW module registers.
1563
1564- USB Device:
1565		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1566		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1567		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1568		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1569		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1570		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1571		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1572		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1573		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1574		a Linux host by
1575		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1576		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1577		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1578		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1579
1580			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1581			Define this to build a UDC device
1582
1583			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1584			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1585			talk to the UDC device
1586
1587			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1588			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1589			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1590			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1591			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1592			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1593			speed.
1594
1595			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1596			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1597			be set to usbtty.
1598
1599			mpc8xx:
1600				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1601				Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1602				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1603
1604				CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH
1605				Derive USB clock from brgclk
1606				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04
1607
1608		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1609		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1610		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1611		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1612		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1613		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1614
1615			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1616			Define this string as the name of your company for
1617			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1618
1619			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1620			Define this string as the name of your product
1621			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1622
1623			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1624			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1625			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1626			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1627			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1628
1629			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1630			Define this as the unique Product ID
1631			for your device
1632			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1633
1634- ULPI Layer Support:
1635		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1636		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1637		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1638		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1639		viewport is supported.
1640		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1641		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1642		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1643		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1644		the appropriate value in Hz.
1645
1646- MMC Support:
1647		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1648		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1649		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1650		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1651		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1652		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1653
1654		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1655		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1656
1657			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1658			Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1659
1660			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1661			Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1662
1663		CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC
1664		Enable the generic MMC driver
1665
1666		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1667		Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1668
1669		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1670		Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1671		key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1672
1673- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1674		CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1675		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1676
1677		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1678		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1679		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1680		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1681		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1682
1683		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1684		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1685
1686		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1687		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1688
1689		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1690		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1691		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1692		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1693		one that would help mostly the developer.
1694
1695		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1696		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1697		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1698		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1699		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1700
1701		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1702		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1703		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1704		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1705		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1706		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1707
1708		DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1709		Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1710		host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1711		a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1712
1713		DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1714		Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1715		entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1716		sending again an USB request to the device.
1717
1718- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1719		CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1720		This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1721		fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1722		protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1723		used on Android devices.
1724		See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1725
1726		CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1727		This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1728		image format header.
1729
1730		CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1731		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1732		downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1733		downloaded images.
1734
1735		CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1736		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1737		downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1738		platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1739
1740		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1741		The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1742		the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1743		this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1744
1745		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1746		The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1747		regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1748		the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1749
1750		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1751		The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1752		image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1753		Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1754		to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1755		This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1756		"fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1757		Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1758
1759- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1760		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE,
1761		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV
1762		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1763
1764		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1765		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1766		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1767
1768		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART
1769		Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1770		function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1771
1772		If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
1773		#define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART	1
1774		to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1775		have not defined a custom partition
1776
1777- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support:
1778		CONFIG_FAT_WRITE
1779
1780		Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a
1781		file in FAT formatted partition.
1782
1783		This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the
1784		user to write files to FAT.
1785
1786CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support
1787		CONFIG_CMD_CBFS
1788
1789		Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot
1790		filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls
1791		and cbfsload.
1792
1793- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size:
1794		CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE
1795
1796		Define the max cluster size for fat operations else
1797		a default value of 65536 will be defined.
1798
1799- Keyboard Support:
1800		CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD
1801
1802		Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard
1803		support
1804
1805		CONFIG_I8042_KBD
1806		Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and
1807		GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support.
1808		Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc
1809		for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking.
1810
1811		CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB
1812		Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface.
1813		This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller
1814		which provides key scans on request.
1815
1816- Video support:
1817		CONFIG_VIDEO
1818
1819		Define this to enable video support (for output to
1820		video).
1821
1822		CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000
1823
1824		Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip
1825
1826		CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM
1827		Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The
1828		video output is selected via environment 'videoout'
1829		(1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is
1830		assumed.
1831
1832		For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is
1833		selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways
1834		are possible:
1835		- "videomode=num"   'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers.
1836		Following standard modes are supported	(* is default):
1837
1838		      Colors	640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024
1839		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1840		      8 bits |	0x301*	0x303	 0x305	  0x161	    0x307
1841		     15 bits |	0x310	0x313	 0x316	  0x162	    0x319
1842		     16 bits |	0x311	0x314	 0x317	  0x163	    0x31A
1843		     24 bits |	0x312	0x315	 0x318	    ?	    0x31B
1844		-------------+---------------------------------------------
1845		(i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;)
1846
1847		- "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed
1848		from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c)
1849
1850
1851		CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806
1852		Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp
1853		and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP
1854		or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP
1855
1856		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1857		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1858		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1859		support, and should also define these other macros:
1860
1861			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1862			CONFIG_VIDEO
1863			CONFIG_CMD_BMP
1864			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1865			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1866			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1867			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1868			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1869
1870		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1871		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1872		boot.  See the documentation file README.video for a
1873		description of this variable.
1874
1875
1876- Keyboard Support:
1877		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1878
1879		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1880		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1881		defined in your board-specific files.
1882		The only board using this so far is RBC823.
1883
1884- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1885
1886		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1887		display); also select one of the supported displays
1888		by defining one of these:
1889
1890		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1891
1892			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1893
1894		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1895
1896			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1897
1898		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1899
1900			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1901			Active, color, single scan.
1902
1903		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1904
1905			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1906			Active, color, single scan.
1907
1908		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1909
1910			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1911			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1912
1913		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1914
1915			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1916			Active, color, single scan.
1917
1918		CONFIG_HLD1045
1919
1920			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1921			Active, color, single scan.
1922
1923		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1924
1925			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1926			or
1927			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1928			or
1929			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1930
1931			320x240. Black & white.
1932
1933		Normally display is black on white background; define
1934		CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted.
1935
1936		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1937
1938		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1939		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1940		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1941		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1942		a per-section basis.
1943
1944		CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1945
1946		When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1947		lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1948		the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1949		is slow.
1950
1951		CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1952
1953		Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1954		mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1955		we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1956		framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1957		printed out.
1958		Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1959		initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1960		"vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1961		The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1962		fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1963		0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1964		1 = 90 degree rotation
1965		2 = 180 degree rotation
1966		3 = 270 degree rotation
1967
1968		If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1969		initialized with 0degree rotation.
1970
1971		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1972
1973		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1974
1975		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1976
1977		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1978		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1979
1980- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1981
1982		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1983		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1984		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1985		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1986		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1987		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1988		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1989		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1990
1991		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1992
1993		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1994		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1995		(see README.displaying-bmps).
1996		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1997		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1998		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1999		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2000		there is no need to set this option.
2001
2002		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2003
2004		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2005		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2006		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2007		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2008		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2009		specify 'm' for centering the image.
2010
2011		Example:
2012		setenv splashpos m,m
2013			=> image at center of screen
2014
2015		setenv splashpos 30,20
2016			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
2017
2018		setenv splashpos -10,m
2019			=> vertically centered image

2021
2022- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2023
2024		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2025		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2026		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2027
2028- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2029
2030		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2031		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2032		bmp command.
2033
2034- Do compressing for memory range:
2035		CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2036
2037		If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2038		to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2039
2040- Compression support:
2041		CONFIG_GZIP
2042
2043		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2044
2045		CONFIG_BZIP2
2046
2047		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2048		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2049		compressed images are supported.
2050
2051		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
2052		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
2053		be at least 4MB.
2054
2055		CONFIG_LZMA
2056
2057		If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2058		images is included.
2059
2060		Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2061		requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2062		formula:
2063
2064			(1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2065
2066		Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2067		and Literal pos bits.
2068
2069		This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2070		for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2071		total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2072		a very small buffer.
2073
2074		Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2075		then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
2076		the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
2077
2078		CONFIG_LZO
2079
2080		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2081		is included.
2082
2083- MII/PHY support:
2084		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2085
2086		The address of PHY on MII bus.
2087
2088		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2089
2090		The clock frequency of the MII bus
2091
2092		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2093
2094		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
2095		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
2096
2097		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2098
2099		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2100		reset before any MII register access is possible.
2101		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2102		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2103
2104		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2105
2106		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2107		command issued before MII status register can be read
2108
2109- IP address:
2110		CONFIG_IPADDR
2111
2112		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
2113		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
2114		determined through e.g. bootp.
2115		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
2116
2117- Server IP address:
2118		CONFIG_SERVERIP
2119
2120		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
2121		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
2122		(Environment variable "serverip")
2123
2124		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2125
2126		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2127		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2128
2129- Gateway IP address:
2130		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2131
2132		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2133		default router where packets to other networks are
2134		sent to.
2135		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
2136
2137- Subnet mask:
2138		CONFIG_NETMASK
2139
2140		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2141		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2142		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2143		forwarded through a router.
2144		(Environment variable "netmask")
2145
2146- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2147		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2148
2149		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2150		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
2151		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
2152		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2153		multicast group.
2154
2155- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2156		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2157
2158		If you have many targets in a network that try to
2159		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2160		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2161		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2162		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2163		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2164		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2165		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
2166		following delays are inserted then:
2167
2168		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
2169		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
2170		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
2171		4th and following
2172		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
2173
2174		CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2175
2176		BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2177		server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2178		U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2179		an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2180		aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2181		ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2182		respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2183		takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2184		time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2185		to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2186		retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2187		IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2188		cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2189		requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2190		from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2191
2192- DHCP Advanced Options:
2193		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2194		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
2195
2196		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
2197		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
2198		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
2199		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
2200		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
2201		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
2202		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2203		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
2204		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
2205		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
2206		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
2207		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
2208		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
2209
2210		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2211		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
2212
2213		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2214		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2215		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
2216		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2217		is not available.
2218
2219		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2220		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2221		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2222		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2223		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2224		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2225		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
2226		is defined.
2227
2228		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2229		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2230		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
2231		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
2232		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2233		option 12 to the DHCP server.
2234
2235		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2236
2237		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2238		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2239		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2240		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2241		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2242		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2243		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2244		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2245		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2246		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2247		this delay.
2248
2249 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2250		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2251		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2252		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2253		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2254
2255		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
2256
2257 - CDP Options:
2258		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
2259
2260		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
2261
2262		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
2263
2264		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2265		of the device.
2266
2267		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2268
2269		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2270		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
2271		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
2272
2273		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2274
2275		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
2276		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
2277
2278		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
2279
2280		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
2281
2282		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
2283
2284		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
2285
2286		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
2287
2288		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
2289
2290		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
2291
2292		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
2293		device in .1 of milliwatts.
2294
2295		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
2296
2297		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
2298
2299- Status LED:	CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2300
2301		Several configurations allow to display the current
2302		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2303		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2304		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2305		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2306		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2307		kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2308		feature in U-Boot.
2309
2310		Additional options:
2311
2312		CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2313		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2314		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2315		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2316		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2317
2318		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2319		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2320		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2321		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2322		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2323		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2324
2325- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2326
2327		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2328		on those systems that support this (optional)
2329		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2330
2331- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
2332
2333		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
2334		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
2335		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
2336		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
2337		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
2338		interface.
2339
2340		ported i2c driver to the new framework:
2341		- drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c:
2342		  - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define

2360		    bus.
2361		  - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
2362		    CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset

2460
2461		additional defines:
2462
2463		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2464		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you
2465		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2466		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2467		omit this define.
2468
2469		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2470		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2471		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2472		omit this define.
2473
2474		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2475		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2476		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2477		define.
2478
2479		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2480		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2481		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2482		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2483		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2484
2485		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2486					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2487					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2488					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2489					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2490					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2491					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2492					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2493					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2494					}
2495
2496		which defines
2497			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2498			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2499			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2500			bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2501			bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2502			bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2503			bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2504			bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2505			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2506
2507		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2508
2509- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2510
2511		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2512		provides the following compelling advantages:
2513
2514		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2515		- approved multibus support
2516		- better i2c mux support
2517
2518		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2519
2520		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2521		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2522		for the selected CPU.
2523
2524		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2525		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2526		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2527		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2528		command line interface.
2529
2530		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2531
2532		There are several other quantities that must also be
2533		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2534
2535		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2536		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2537		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2538		the CPU's i2c node address).
2539
2540		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2541		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2542		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2543		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2544		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2545
2546		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2547
2548		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2549		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2550		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2551		commands until the slave device responds.
2552
2553		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2554
2555		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2556		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2557		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2558
2559		I2C_INIT
2560
2561		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2562		controller or configure ports.
2563
2564		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2565
2566		I2C_PORT
2567
2568		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2569		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2570		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2571
2572		I2C_ACTIVE
2573
2574		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2575		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2576		define can be null.
2577
2578		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2579
2580		I2C_TRISTATE
2581
2582		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2583		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2584		define can be null.
2585
2586		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2587
2588		I2C_READ
2589
2590		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2591		false if it is low.
2592
2593		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2594
2595		I2C_SDA(bit)
2596
2597		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2598		is false, it clears it (low).
2599
2600		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2601			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2602			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2603
2604		I2C_SCL(bit)
2605
2606		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2607		is false, it clears it (low).
2608
2609		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2610			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2611			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2612
2613		I2C_DELAY
2614
2615		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2616		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2617		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2618		like:
2619
2620		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2621
2622		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2623
2624		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2625		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2626		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2627		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2628
2629		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2630		the generic GPIO functions.
2631
2632		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2633
2634		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2635		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2636		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2637		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2638		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2639		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2640		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2641		is run early in the boot sequence.
2642
2643		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2644
2645		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2646		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2647		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2648		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2649		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2650		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2651		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2652		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2653
2654		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2655
2656		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2657		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2658		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2659
2660		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2661
2662		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2663		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2664		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2665		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2666
2667		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2668
2669		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2670		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2671		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2672		a 1D array of device addresses
2673
2674		e.g.
2675			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2676			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2677
2678		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2679
2680			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2681			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2682
2683		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2684
2685		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2686
2687		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2688		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2689
2690		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2691
2692		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2693		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2694
2695		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2696
2697		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2698		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2699
2700		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2701
2702		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2703		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2704		specified DTT device.
2705
2706		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2707
2708		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2709		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2710		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2711		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2712		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2713		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2714		the other.
2715
2716- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2717
2718		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2719		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2720		D/As on the SACSng board)
2721
2722		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2723
2724		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2725		only SH7757 is supported.
2726
2727		CONFIG_SPI_X
2728
2729		Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing.
2730		(symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X)
2731
2732		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2733
2734		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2735		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2736		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2737		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2738		defined, the board configuration must define several
2739		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2740		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2741
2742		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2743
2744		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2745		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2746		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2747		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2748		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2749
2750		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2751
2752		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2753		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2754
2755		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2756		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2757		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2758
2759- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2760
2761		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2762
2763		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2764
2765		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2766		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2767
2768		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2769
2770		Enables support for FPGA family.
2771		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2772
2773		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2774
2775		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2776
2777		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2778
2779		Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2780
2781		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2782
2783		Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2784
2785		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2786
2787		Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2788		(Xilinx only)
2789
2790		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2791
2792		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2793
2794		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2795
2796		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2797		status by the configuration function. This option
2798		will require a board or device specific function to
2799		be written.
2800
2801		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2802
2803		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2804		configuration driver.
2805
2806		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2807		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2808
2809		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2810
2811		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2812		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2813		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2814		indicated a CRC error).
2815
2816		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2817
2818		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2819		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2820		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2821		ms.
2822
2823		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2824
2825		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2826		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2827
2828		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2829
2830		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2831		200 ms.
2832
2833- Configuration Management:
2834		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2835
2836		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2837		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2838		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2839		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2840		make / MAKEALL.
2841
2842		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2843
2844		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2845		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2846
2847- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2848
2849		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2850		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2851		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2852		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2853		protects these variables from casual modification by
2854		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2855		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2856		change this behaviour:
2857
2858		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2859		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2860		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2861		these parameters.
2862
2863		Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2864		default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2865		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2866		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2867		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2868		read-only.]
2869
2870		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2871		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2872		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2873		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2874
2875- Protected RAM:
2876		CONFIG_PRAM
2877
2878		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2879		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2880		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2881		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2882		this default value by defining an environment
2883		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2884		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2885		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2886		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2887		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2888		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2889		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2890
2891			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2892			saveenv
2893
2894		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2895		either, which results in a memory region that will
2896		not be affected by reboots.
2897
2898		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2899		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2900		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2901		following board configurations are known to be
2902		"pRAM-clean":
2903
2904			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2905			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2906			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2907
2908- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2909		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2910		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2911		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2912		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2913		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2914		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2915
2916- Error Recovery:
2917		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2918
2919		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2920		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2921		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2922		system where you want the system to reboot
2923		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2924		useful during development since you can try to debug
2925		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2926
2927		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2928
2929		This variable defines the number of retries for
2930		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2931		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2932		default value of 5 is used.
2933
2934		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2935
2936		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2937
2938		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2939
2940		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2941		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2942		try longer timeout such as
2943		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2944
2945- Command Interpreter:
2946		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2947
2948		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2949
2950		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2951
2952		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2953		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2954		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2955
2956	Note:
2957
2958		In the current implementation, the local variables
2959		space and global environment variables space are
2960		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2961		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2962		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2963		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2964		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2965
2966		Global environment variables are those you use
2967		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2968		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2969		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2970
2971		To store commands and special characters in a
2972		variable, please use double quotation marks
2973		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2974		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2975		symbols.
2976
2977- Command Line Editing and History:
2978		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2979
2980		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2981		command line input operations
2982
2983- Default Environment:
2984		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2985
2986		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2987		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2988		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2989
2990		For example, place something like this in your
2991		board's config file:
2992
2993		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2994			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2995			"myvar2=value2\0"
2996
2997		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2998		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2999		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3000		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
3001		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
3002		You better know what you are doing here.
3003
3004		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3005		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
3006		the environment like the "source" command or the
3007		boot command first.
3008
3009		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3010
3011		Define this in order to add variables describing the
3012		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3013		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3014
3015		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3016
3017		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3018		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3019		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3020		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3021		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3022
3023		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3024
3025		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3026		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3027		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3028
3029		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3030
3031		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
3032		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
3033		that so that the environment is not available until
3034		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3035		this is instead controlled by the value of
3036		/config/load-environment.
3037
3038- Parallel Flash support:
3039		CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
3040
3041		Traditionally U-boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
3042		flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
3043		flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
3044		parallel flash.
3045
3046		If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
3047		(e.g.  CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
3048		selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
3049		flash API (see include/flash.h).
3050
3051- DataFlash Support:
3052		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3053
3054		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3055		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3056		commands cp, md...
3057
3058- Serial Flash support
3059		CONFIG_CMD_SF
3060
3061		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3062		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3063
3064		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3065		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3066		commands.
3067
3068		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3069		to handle the common case when only a single serial
3070		flash is present on the system.
3071
3072		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
3073		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
3074		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
3075		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
3076
3077		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3078
3079		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3080		test ('sf test').
3081
3082		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
3083
3084		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3085		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
3086		Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
3087
3088- SystemACE Support:
3089		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3090
3091		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3092		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
3093		of the chip must also be defined in the
3094		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3095
3096		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3097		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3098
3099		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3100		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3101
3102- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3103		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3104
3105		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3106		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3107		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3108		number generator is used.
3109
3110		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3111		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
3112		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3113
3114		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3115		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3116		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3117		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3118		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3119		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3120		but sometimes that is not allowed.
3121
3122- Hashing support:
3123		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3124
3125		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3126		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3127
3128		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3129
3130		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3131		size a little.
3132
3133		CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3134		algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3135		CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3136		SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3137		CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3138		for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3139		This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3140		hash_lookup_algo() function.
3141		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3142		hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3143		Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3144		is performed in hardware.
3145
3146		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3147		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3148
3149- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3150		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3151		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3152		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3153
3154		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3155		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3156		a boot from specific media.
3157
3158		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3159		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3160		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3161		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
3162		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3163
3164- Signing support:
3165		CONFIG_RSA
3166
3167		This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
3168		in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
3169
3170		The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3171		driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3172		library to function.
3173
3174		The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3175		option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3176		mkimage irrespective of this option.
3177
3178- bootcount support:
3179		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3180
3181		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3182		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3183
3184		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3185		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3186		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3187		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3188		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3189		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3190		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3191		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3192		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3193		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3194			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3195			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3196						    the bootcounter.
3197			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3198
3199- Show boot progress:
3200		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3201
3202		Defining this option allows to add some board-
3203		specific code (calling a user-provided function
3204		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3205		the system's boot progress on some display (for
3206		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3207		the following checkpoints are implemented:
3208
3209

3362
3363- legacy image format:
3364		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3365		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3366
3367		Default:
3368		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3369
3370		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3371		disable the legacy image format
3372
3373		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3374		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3375
3376- FIT image support:
3377		CONFIG_FIT
3378		Enable support for the FIT uImage format.
3379
3380		CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH
3381		When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the
3382		one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of
3383		U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the
3384		most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node.
3385		The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored.
3386
3387		CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE
3388		This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages,
3389		using a hash signed and verified using RSA. If
3390		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL is defined, i.e support for progressive
3391		hashing is available using hardware, RSA library will use it.
3392		See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details.
3393
3394		WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required
3395		signature check the legacy image format is default
3396		disabled. If a board need legacy image format support
3397		enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3398
3399		CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3400		Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3401		For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3402		with this option.
3403
3404- Standalone program support:
3405		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3406
3407		This option defines a board specific value for the
3408		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3409		overwriting the architecture dependent default
3410		settings.
3411
3412- Frame Buffer Address:
3413		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3414
3415		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3416		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3417		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3418		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3419		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3420		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3421		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3422		configured panel size.
3423
3424		Please see board_init_f function.
3425
3426- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3427		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3428		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3429		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3430
3431		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3432		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3433
3434- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3435		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3436
3437		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3438		Needed for mtdparts command support.
3439
3440		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3441
3442		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3443		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3444
3445- UBI support
3446		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3447
3448		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3449		with the UBI flash translation layer
3450
3451		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3452
3453		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3454
3455		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3456		warnings and errors enabled.
3457
3458
3459		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3460		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3461		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3462		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3463		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3464		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3465
3466		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3467		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3468		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3469		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3470		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3471
3472		default: 4096
3473
3474		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3475		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3476		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3477		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3478		flash), this value is ignored.
3479
3480		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3481		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3482		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3483		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3484		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3485		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3486
3487		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3488		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3489		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3490		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3491		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3492		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3493		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3494		partition.
3495
3496		default: 20
3497
3498		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3499		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3500		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3501		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3502		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3503		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3504		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3505		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3506		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3507		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3508		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3509		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3510
3511		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3512		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3513		without a fastmap.
3514		default: 0
3515
3516- UBIFS support
3517		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3518
3519		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3520		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3521
3522		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3523
3524		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3525
3526		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3527		warnings and errors enabled.
3528
3529- SPL framework
3530		CONFIG_SPL
3531		Enable building of SPL globally.
3532

3535
3536		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3537		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3538		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3539		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3540		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3541		must not be both defined at the same time.
3542
3543		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3544		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3545		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3546		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3547		not exceed it.
3548
3549		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3550		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3551
3552		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3553		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3554		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3555
3556		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3557		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3558
3559		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3560		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3561		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3562		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3563		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3564		must not be both defined at the same time.
3565
3566		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3567		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3568
3569		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3570		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3571		loaded does not have a signature.
3572		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3573		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3574		will be caught.
3575		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3576		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3577		and thus should be skipped silently.
3578
3579		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3580		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3581		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3582		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3583
3584		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3585		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3586

3628		used in raw mode
3629
3630		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3631		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3632		used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3633
3634		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3635		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3636		Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3637		parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3638		(for falcon mode)
3639
3640		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3641		Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3642		used in fs mode
3643

3659		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3660
3661		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3662		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3663		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3664		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3665		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3666
3667		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3668		Avoid SPL relocation
3669
3670		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3671		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires
3672		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.

3676
3677		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3678		Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3679
3680		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE

3682		expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3683
3684		CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT

3686		environment on NAND support within SPL.
3687
3688		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3689		Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3690		if you need to save space.
3691
3692		CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT
3693		Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for
3694		drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary.

3701		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3702		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3703		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3704		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3705		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3706		to read U-Boot
3707
3708		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3709		Add support NAND boot
3710
3711		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3712		Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3713
3714		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3715		Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3716
3717		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3718		Size of image to load
3719
3720		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3721		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3722
3723		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3724		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3725		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3726
3727		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3728		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3729		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3730
3731		CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT

3740		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3741		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3742
3743		CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT
3744		Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary
3745
3746		CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
3747		Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3748
3749		CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3750		Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3751		It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3752		CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3753
3754		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3755		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3756		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3757		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3758		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3759		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3760
3761		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3762		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3763		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3764		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3765
3766		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3767		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3768		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3769		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3770		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3771
3772- TPL framework
3773		CONFIG_TPL
3774		Enable building of TPL globally.
3775
3776		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3777		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3778		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3779		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3780		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3781		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3782
3783Modem Support:
3784--------------
3785
3786[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
3787
3788- Modem support enable:
3789		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3790
3791- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3792		CONFIG_HWFLOW
3793
3794- Modem debug support:
3795		CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3796
3797		Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3798		for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
3799
3800- Interrupt support (PPC):
3801
3802		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3803		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3804		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3805		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3806		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3807		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3808		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3809		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3810		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3811		general timer_interrupt().
3812
3813- General:
3814
3815		In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3816		specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3817		power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
3818		(autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
3819		board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3820		function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3821		initialization.
3822
3823		If there are no modem init strings in the
3824		environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3825		previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
3826		suppressed, though.
3827
3828		See also: doc/README.Modem
3829
3830Board initialization settings:
3831------------------------------
3832
3833During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3834to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3835before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3836following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3837architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3838typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3839
3840- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3841- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3842- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3843- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3844
3845Configuration Settings:
3846-----------------------
3847
3848- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3849		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3850
3851- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3852		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3853
3854- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3855		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3856
3857- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3858		prompt for user input.
3859
3860- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3861
3862- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3863
3864- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3865
3866- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3867		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3868		booted
3869
3870- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3871		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3872
3873- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3874		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3875
3876- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3877		If the board specific function
3878			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3879		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3880		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3881
3882- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3883		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3884
3885- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3886		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3887
3888- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3889		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3890		simple memory test.
3891
3892- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3893		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3894
3895- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3896		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3897		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3898
3899- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3900		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3901		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3902		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3903		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3904		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3905		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3906		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3907		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3908		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3909
3910		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3911		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3912		be touched.
3913
3914		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3915		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3916		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3917		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3918		problems.
3919
3920- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3921		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3922
3923- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3924		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3925
3926- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3927		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3928		Cogent motherboard)
3929
3930- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3931		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3932
3933- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3934		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3935		make config files to be same as the text base address
3936		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3937		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3938
3939- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3940		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3941		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3942		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3943		flash sector.
3944
3945- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3946		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3947
3948- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3949		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3950		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3951		will become available before relocation. The address is just
3952		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3953		space.
3954
3955		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3956		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3957		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3958		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3959		U-Boot relocates itself.
3960
3961		Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
3962		at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3963
3964- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3965		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3966		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3967		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3968
3969- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3970		Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3971		typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3972		uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3973		otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3974		some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3975		cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3976		are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3977		cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3978		if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3979		size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3980		one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3981		written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3982		happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3983		buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3984		16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3985
3986		Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3987
3988- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3989		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3990		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3991		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3992		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3993
3994- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3995		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3996		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3997		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3998		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3999		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
4000		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
4001		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
4002		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4003		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4004		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
4005
4006- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
4007		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
4008		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
4009		is enabled.
4010
4011- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
4012		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
4013		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4014
4015- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
4016		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
4017		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
4018
4019- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
4020		Max number of Flash memory banks
4021
4022- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
4023		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
4024
4025- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
4026		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
4027
4028- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
4029		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
4030
4031- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
4032		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
4033
4034- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
4035		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
4036
4037- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
4038		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4039		instead of U-Boot software protection.
4040
4041- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
4042
4043		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4044		without this option such a download has to be
4045		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4046		copy from RAM to flash.
4047
4048		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4049		you can check if the download worked before you erase
4050		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4051		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
4052		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4053
4054- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
4055		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
4056		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
4057
4058- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
4059		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
4060		in the drivers directory
4061
4062- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4063		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4064		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4065		to the MTD layer.
4066
4067- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
4068		Use buffered writes to flash.
4069
4070- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
4071		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
4072		write commands.
4073
4074- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
4075		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
4076		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4077		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4078		optionally available.
4079
4080- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4081		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4082		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
4083		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
4084
4085- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4086		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4087		against the source after the write operation. An error message
4088		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4089		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4090		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4091		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4092		this option if you really know what you are doing.
4093
4094- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
4095		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4096		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
4097		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4098		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
4099		on high Ethernet traffic.
4100		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
4101
4102- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
4103
4104	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
4105	internally to store the environment settings. The default
4106	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
4107	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
4108	lib/hashtable.c for details.
4109
4110- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4111- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4112	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
4113	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4114	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4115	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4116
4117	The format of the list is:
4118		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
4119		access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
4120		attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
4121		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4122		list = entry[,list]
4123
4124	The type attributes are:
4125		s - String (default)
4126		d - Decimal
4127		x - Hexadecimal
4128		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4129		i - IP address
4130		m - MAC address
4131
4132	The access attributes are:
4133		a - Any (default)
4134		r - Read-only
4135		o - Write-once
4136		c - Change-default
4137
4138	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4139		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4140		environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4141
4142	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4143		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4144		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4145		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
4146		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4147		".flags" variable.
4148
4149	If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4150	regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
4151	flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
4152
4153- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4154	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4155	access flags.
4156
4157- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4158	This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4159	architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4160	to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4161	arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4162	common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4163	must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).
4164	If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report
4165	the problem and send patches!
4166
4167- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4168	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4169	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4170	the value can be calculated on a given board.
4171
4172- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4173	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4174	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4175	building U-Boot to enable this.
4176
4177The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4178of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4179following configurations:
4180
4181- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4182
4183	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4184	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4185
4186- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4187
4188	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4189
4190	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4191	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4192	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4193	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4194	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4195	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4196	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4197	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4198	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4199	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4200	   between U-Boot and the environment.
4201
4202	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4203
4204	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4205	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4206	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4207	   for this sector is given here.
4208
4209	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4210
4211	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4212
4213	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
4214	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4215	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
4216
4217	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4218
4219	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
4220
4221
4222	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4223	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4224	   the environment.
4225
4226	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4227
4228	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4229	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4230	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4231	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4232
4233	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4234	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4235	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4236	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4237	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4238	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
4239	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4240	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4241	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
4242
4243	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4244	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4245
4246	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4247	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4248	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4249	   a "saveenv" operation.
4250
4251BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4252source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4253accordingly!
4254
4255
4256- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4257
4258	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4259	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4260	environment.
4261
4262	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4263	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4264
4265	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4266	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4267	  can just be read and written to, without any special
4268	  provision.
4269
4270BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4271in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4272console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4273U-Boot will hang.
4274
4275Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4276environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4277keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4278to save the current settings.
4279
4280
4281- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4282
4283	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4284	device and a driver for it.
4285
4286	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4287	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4288
4289	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4290	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4291
4292	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4293	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4294	  The default address is zero.
4295
4296	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4297	  If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4298
4299	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4300	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4301	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
4302	  would require six bits.
4303
4304	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4305	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4306	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
4307
4308	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4309	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
4310	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
4311
4312	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4313	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4314	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4315	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4316	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4317	  byte chips.
4318
4319	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4320	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4321	  in the chip address.
4322
4323	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4324	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4325
4326	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4327	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4328	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4329
4330	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4331	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4332	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4333	  EEPROM. For example:
4334
4335	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
4336
4337	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4338	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4339
4340- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4341
4342	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4343	want to use for the environment.
4344
4345	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4346	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4347	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4348
4349	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4350	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4351	  at the specified address.
4352
4353- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4354
4355	Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4356	want to use for the environment.
4357
4358	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4359	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4360
4361	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4362	  environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4363	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4364
4365	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4366
4367	  Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4368
4369	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4370
4371	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4372	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4373	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4374	  during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4375	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4376
4377	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4378	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4379
4380	  Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4381
4382	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4383
4384	  Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4385
4386	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4387
4388	  Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4389
4390- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4391
4392	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4393	want to use for the local device's environment.
4394
4395	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4396	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4397
4398	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4399	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
4400	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
4401	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4402
4403BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4404"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4405environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4406but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4407
4408- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4409
4410	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4411	for the environment.
4412
4413	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4414	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4415
4416	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4417	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4418	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4419
4420	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4421
4422	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4423	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4424	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4425	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4426	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4427
4428	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4429
4430	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4431	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4432	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4433	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4434	  the range to be avoided.
4435
4436	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4437
4438	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4439	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
4440	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4441	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4442	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4443
4444- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4445
4446	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4447	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4448	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4449
4450- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4451
4452	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4453	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4454	accesses, which is important on NAND.
4455
4456	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4457
4458	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4459
4460	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4461
4462	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4463	  environment in.
4464
4465	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4466
4467	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4468	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4469	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4470
4471	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4472	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4473
4474	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4475	  when storing the env in UBI.
4476
4477- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4478       Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4479
4480       - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4481
4482         Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4483
4484       - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4485
4486         Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4487         be as following:
4488
4489           "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4490               - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4491                        partition table.
4492               - "D:0": device D.
4493               - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4494                              table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4495                              table.
4496               - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4497                           If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4498                           partition table then means device D.
4499
4500       - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4501
4502         It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4503         environment.
4504
4505       - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4506         This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4507
4508- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4509
4510	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4511	environment.
4512
4513	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4514
4515	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4516
4517	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4518
4519	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4520	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4521	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4522
4523	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4524	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4525
4526	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4527	  area within the specified MMC device.
4528
4529	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4530	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4531	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4532	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4533	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4534	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4535	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4536
4537	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4538	  MMC sector boundary.
4539
4540	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4541
4542	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4543	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4544	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4545	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4546
4547	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4548	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4549
4550	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4551	  an MMC sector boundary.
4552
4553	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4554
4555	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4556	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4557	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4558
4559- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4560
4561	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4562	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4563	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4564	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4565	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4566	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4567	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4568
4569Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4570has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4571created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4572until then to read environment variables.
4573
4574The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4575is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4576with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4577necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4578"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4579have any device yet where we could complain.]
4580
4581Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4582the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4583use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4584
4585- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4586		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4587
4588		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4589		      also needs to be defined.
4590
4591- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4592		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4593
4594- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4595		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4596		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4597		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4598		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4599		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4600
4601- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4602		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4603		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4604		to do this.
4605
4606- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4607		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4608		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4609		present.
4610
4611- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4612		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4613		build system checks that the actual size does not
4614		exceed it.
4615
4616Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4617---------------------------------------------------
4618
4619- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4620		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4621
4622- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4623		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4624
4625		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4626		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4627		the IMMR register after a reset.
4628
4629- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4630		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4631		PowerPC SOCs.
4632
4633- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4634		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4635		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4636
4637		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4638		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4639
4640- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4641		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4642		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4643		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4644		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4645		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4646		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4647
4648		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4649			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4650
4651- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4652		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4653		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4654		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4655		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4656
4657- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4658		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4659		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4660		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4661
4662- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4663		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4664		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4665
4666- Floppy Disk Support:
4667		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4668
4669		the default drive number (default value 0)
4670
4671		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4672
4673		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4674		(default value 1)
4675
4676		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4677
4678		defines the offset of register from address. It
4679		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4680		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4681
4682		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4683		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4684		default value.
4685
4686		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4687		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4688		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4689		source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4690		initializations.
4691
4692- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4693		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4694		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4695		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4696		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4697		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4698		is required.
4699
4700- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4701		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4702		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4703
4704- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4705
4706		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4707		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4708		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4709		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4710		will become available only after programming the
4711		memory controller and running certain initialization
4712		sequences.
4713
4714		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4715		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4716		- MPC824X: data cache
4717		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4718
4719- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4720
4721		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4722		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4723		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4724		data is located at the end of the available space
4725		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4726		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4727		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4728		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4729
4730	Note:
4731		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4732		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4733		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4734		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4735		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4771		Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing)
4772
4773- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4774		enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4775		define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2]
4776
4777- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:

4787		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4788		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4789
4790- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4791		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4792		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4793		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.

4795
4796- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,

4808		required.
4809
4810- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4811		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4812		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4813		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4814		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4815		by coreboot or similar.

4880- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4881		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4882		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4883
4884- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4885		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4886

4888		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4889		to the given FEC; i. e.
4890			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4891		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4892
4893		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4894
4895- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4896		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4897		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4898
4899- CONFIG_RMII
4900		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4901		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4902		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4903
4904- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4905		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4906		The syntax is:
4907
4908		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4909
4910		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4911		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4912		area should have.
4913
4914- CONFIG_LOOPW
4915		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4916		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4917
4918- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4919		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4920		"md/mw" commands.
4921		Examples:
4922
4923		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4924		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4925
4926		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4927		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4928
4929		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4930		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4931
4932- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4933		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4934		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4935		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4936		relocate itself into RAM.
4937
4938		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4939		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4940		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4941		these initializations itself.
4942
4943- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4944		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4945		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4946		compiling a NAND SPL.
4947
4948- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4949		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4950		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4951		It is loaded by the SPL.
4952
4953- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4954		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4955		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4956		previous 4k of the .text section.
4957
4958- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4959		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4960		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4961		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4962		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4963		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4964		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4965		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4966
4967- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4968  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4969		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4970		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4971		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4972
4973- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4974		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4975		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4976
4977- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4978		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4979
4980		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4981
4982- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4983		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4984
4985- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4986		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4987		driver that uses this:
4988		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4989
4990Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4991-----------------------------------
4992
4993The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4994loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4995This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4996are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4997within that device.
4998
4999- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
5000	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
5001	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5002	is also specified.
5003
5004- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
5005	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
5006	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
5007	is also specified.
5008
5009- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5010	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
5011	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5012	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5013	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5014
5015- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5016	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5017	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5018	virtual address in NOR flash.
5019
5020- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
5021	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
5022	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
5023
5024- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
5025	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
5026	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5027
5028- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
5029	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5030	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5031
5032- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5033	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5034	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
5035	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5036	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
5037	master's memory space.
5038
5039Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
5040---------------------------------------------------------
5041The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5042"firmware".
5043This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5044are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5045within that device.
5046
5047- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5048	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5049
5050- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5051	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
5052	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5053	is also specified.
5054
5055- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5056	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
5057	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5058	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5059	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5060
5061- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5062	Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5063	normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
5064	virtual address in NOR flash.
5065
5066Building the Software:
5067======================
5068
5069Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5070and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5071all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5072(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5073recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5074which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
5075
5076If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5077have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5078you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5079Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5080necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
5081
5082	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5083	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
5084
5085Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5086      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5087      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5088      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
5089
5090       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5091
5092      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5093      be executed on computers running Windows.
5094
5095U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5096sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
5097is done by typing:
5098
5099	make NAME_defconfig
5100
5101where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5102rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5103
5104Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5105      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5106      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5107      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5108      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5109
5110      make TQM823L_defconfig
5111	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5112
5113      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5114	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5115
5116      etc.
5117
5118
5119Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5120images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5121
5122- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5123- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5124- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5125
5126By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5127in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5128this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5129
51301. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5131
5132	make O=/tmp/build distclean
5133	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5134	make O=/tmp/build all
5135
51362. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5137
5138	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5139	make distclean
5140	make NAME_defconfig
5141	make all
5142
5143Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5144variable.
5145
5146
5147Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5148for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5149native "make".
5150
5151
5152If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5153to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5154steps:
5155
51561.  Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
5157    "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5158    Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
51592.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5160    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5161    the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51623.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5163    your board
51643.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5165    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
51664.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
51675.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5168    to be installed on your target system.
51696.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5170    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5171
5172
5173Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5174==============================================================
5175
5176If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5177or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5178provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5179the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5180official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5181
5182But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5183cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5184the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5185just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5186for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5187select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5188environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5189you can type
5190
5191	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5192
5193or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5194
5195	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5196
5197When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5198U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5199setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5200built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5201<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5202location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5203variable. For example:
5204
5205	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5206	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5207	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5208
5209With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5210log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5211during the whole build process.

5268
5269TODO.
5270
5271For now: just type "help <command>".
5272
5273
5274Environment Variables:
5275======================
5276
5277U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5278can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5279
5280Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5281"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5282without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5283environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5284working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5285environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5286
5287Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5288
5289List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5290
5291  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5292
5293  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5294
5295  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5296
5297  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5298
5299  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
5300
5301  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5302		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5303		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5304		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5305		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5306		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5307		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5308		  bootm_mapsize.
5309
5310  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5311		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5312		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5313		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5314		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5315		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5316		  used otherwise.
5317
5318  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5319		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5320		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5321		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5322		  environment variable.
5323
5324  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5325		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5326		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5327
5328  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5329		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5330		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5331		  load any image using TFTP
5332
5333  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5334		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5335		  be automatically started (by internally calling
5336		  "bootm")
5337
5338		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5339		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5340		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5341		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5342		  data.
5343
5344  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5345		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5346		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5347		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5348		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5349		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5350		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5351		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5352		  access it during the boot procedure.
5353
5354		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5355		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
5356		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5357		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5358		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5359		  must be accessible by the kernel.
5360
5361  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5362		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5363		  defined.
5364
5365  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5366		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5367		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5368		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5369		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
5370
5371  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
5372		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5373		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5374		  is usually what you want since it allows for
5375		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5376		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5377		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5378		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5379		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5380		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5381		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5382
5383		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5384		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5385		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5386		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5387		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5388		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
5389
5390		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5391
5392		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5393		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5394		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5395		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5396		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5397		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
5398		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5399
5400  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5401
5402  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5403		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5404
5405  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5406
5407  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5408
5409  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5410
5411  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5412
5413  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5414
5415  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
5416
5417  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
5418		  For example you can do the following
5419
5420		  => setenv ethact FEC
5421		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5422		  => setenv ethact SCC
5423		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5424
5425  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5426		  available network interfaces.
5427		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5428
5429  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
5430		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
5431		  When set to "once" the network operation will
5432		  fail when all the available network interfaces
5433		  are tried once without success.
5434		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5435		  themselves.
5436
5437  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
5438
5439  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5440		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5441		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5442		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5443		  is silent.
5444
5445  tftpsrcport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5446		  UDP source port.
5447
5448  tftpdstport	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5449		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5450
5451  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5452		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
5453
5454  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5455		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5456		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5457		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5458		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5459		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5460		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
5461
5462  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5463		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5464		  VLAN tagged frames.
5465
5466The following image location variables contain the location of images
5467used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5468not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5469variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5470server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5471loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5472flash or offset in NAND flash.
5473
5474*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5475boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5476boards use these variables for other purposes.
5477
5478Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
5479-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
5480u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
5481Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
5482device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
5483ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
5484
5485The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5486updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5487depending the information provided by your boot server:
5488
5489  bootfile	- see above
5490  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
5491  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5492  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5493  hostname	- Target hostname
5494  ipaddr	- see above
5495  netmask	- Subnet Mask
5496  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5497  serverip	- see above
5498
5499
5500There are two special Environment Variables:
5501
5502  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
5503		  as type string and/or serial number
5504  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
5505
5506These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5507the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5508once they have been set once.
5509
5510
5511Further special Environment Variables:
5512
5513  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5514		  with the "version" command. This variable is
5515		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5516
5517
5518Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5519only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5520
5521
5522Callback functions for environment variables:
5523---------------------------------------------
5524
5525For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5526when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
5527be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
5528deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5529effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5530
5531The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5532U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5533
5534These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
5535static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5536in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5537associations.  The list must be in the following format:
5538
5539	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5540	list = entry[,list]
5541
5542If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5543Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5544
5545Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5546with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5547override any association in the static list. You can define
5548CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5549".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5550
5551If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5552regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5553the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5554
5555
5556Command Line Parsing:
5557=====================
5558
5559There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5560the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5561
5562Old, simple command line parser:
5563--------------------------------
5564
5565- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5566- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5567- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5568- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5569  for example:
5570	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5571- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5572	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5573
5574Hush shell:
5575-----------
5576
5577- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5578  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5579  until...do...done, ...
5580- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5581  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5582  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5583  command
5584
5585General rules:
5586--------------
5587
5588(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5589    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5590    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5591    executed anyway.
5592
5593(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5594    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5595    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5596    variables are not executed.
5597
5598Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5599=======================================
5600
5601Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5602such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5603"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5604
5605Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5606MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5607"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5608
5609If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5610in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5611ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5612variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5613
5614o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5615  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5616
5617o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5618  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5619  used.
5620
5621o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5622  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5623
5624o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5625  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5626  warning is printed.
5627
5628o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5629  is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5630  a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5631
5632If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5633will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5634may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5635The naming convention is as follows:
5636"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5637
5638Image Formats:
5639==============
5640
5641U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5642images in two formats:
5643
5644New uImage format (FIT)
5645-----------------------
5646
5647Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5648to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5649components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5650SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5651
5652
5653Old uImage format
5654-----------------
5655
5656Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5657preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5658details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5659
5660* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5661  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5662  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5663  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5664  INTEGRITY).
5665* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5666  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5667  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5668* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5669* Load Address
5670* Entry Point
5671* Image Name
5672* Image Timestamp
5673
5674The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5675and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5676CRC32 checksums.
5677
5678
5679Linux Support:
5680==============
5681
5682Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5683easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5684U-Boot.
5685
5686U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5687special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5688"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5689instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5690serves several purposes:
5691
5692- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5693  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5694  Flash memory footprint)
5695
5696- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5697  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5698
5699- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5700  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5701  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5702  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5703  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5704  software is easier now.
5705
5706
5707Linux HOWTO:
5708============
5709
5710Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5711---------------------------------------
5712
5713U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5714configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5715(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5716Linux :-).
5717
5718But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5719
5720Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5721include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5722Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5723and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5724as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5725
5726Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5727If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5728is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5729doc/driver-model.
5730
5731
5732Configuring the Linux kernel:
5733-----------------------------
5734
5735No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5736device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5737
5738
5739Building a Linux Image:
5740-----------------------
5741
5742With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5743not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5744"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5745U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5746which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5747100% compatible format.
5748
5749Example:
5750
5751	make TQM850L_defconfig
5752	make oldconfig
5753	make dep
5754	make uImage
5755
5756The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5757encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5758CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5759
5760* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5761
5762* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5763
5764	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5765				 -R .note -R .comment \
5766				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5767
5768* compress the binary image:
5769
5770	gzip -9 linux.bin
5771
5772* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5773
5774	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5775		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5776		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5777
5778
5779The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5780with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5781combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5782byte header containing information about target architecture,
5783operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5784stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5785
5786"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5787print the header information, or to build new images.
5788
5789In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5790contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5791checksum verification:
5792
5793	tools/mkimage -l image
5794	  -l ==> list image header information
5795
5796The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5797from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5798
5799	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5800		      -n name -d data_file image
5801	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5802	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5803	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5804	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5805	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5806	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5807	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5808	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5809
5810Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5811address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5812kernel version:
5813
5814- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5815- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5816
5817So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5818
5819	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5820	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5821	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5822	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5823	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5824	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5825	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5826	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5827	Load Address: 0x00000000
5828	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5829
5830To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5831
5832	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5833	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5834	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5835	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5836	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5837	Load Address: 0x00000000
5838	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5839
5840NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5841speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5842needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5843need to be uncompressed:
5844
5845	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5846	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5847	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5848	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5849	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5850	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L

5858Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5859when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5860
5861	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5862	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5863	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd

5870
5871The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5872option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5873option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5874from the image:
5875
5876	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5877	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5878	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5879	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5880
5881
5882Installing a Linux Image:
5883-------------------------
5884
5885To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5886you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5887
5888	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5889
5890The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5891image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5892address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5893specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5894command.
5895
5896Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5897TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5898
5899	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5900
5901	.......... done

5903

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

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

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

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

6224NetBSD Notes:
6225=============
6226
6227Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6228(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6229
6230Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6231NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6232need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6233Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6234attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6235missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6236
6237	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6238	# mkdir powerpc
6239	# ln -s powerpc machine
6240	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6241	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6242
6243Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6244and U-Boot include files.
6245
6246Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6247stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6248proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6249tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6250meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

6252
6253Implementation Internals:
6254=========================
6255
6256The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6257implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6258inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6259hardware.
6260
6261
6262Initial Stack, Global Data:
6263---------------------------
6264
6265The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6266starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6267system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6268This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6269is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6270at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6271options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6272models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6273MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6274locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6275
6276	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6277	U-Boot mailing list:

6283
6284	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6285	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6286	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6287	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6288	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6289	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6290	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6291	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6292
6293	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6294	is another option for the system designer to use as an
6295	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6296	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6297	board designers haven't used it for something that would
6298	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6299	used.
6300
6301	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6302	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6303	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6304	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6305	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6306	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6307	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6308	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6309	you get the config right.

6313
6314It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6315code for the initialization procedures:
6316
6317* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6318  to write it.
6319
6320* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6321  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6322  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6323
6324* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6325  that.
6326
6327Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6328normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6329turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6330simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6331functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6332functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6333the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6334place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6335reserve for this purpose.
6336
6337When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6338relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
6339GCC's implementation.
6340
6341For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6342	R1:	stack pointer
6343	R2:	reserved for system use
6344	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
6345	R5-R10: parameter passing
6346	R13:	small data area pointer
6347	R30:	GOT pointer
6348	R31:	frame pointer
6349
6350	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6351	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6352	going back and forth between asm and C)
6353
6354    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6355
6356    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6357    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6358    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6359    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6360    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6361    624 text + 127 data).
6362
6363On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6364	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6365
6366    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6367
6368On ARM, the following registers are used:
6369
6370	R0:	function argument word/integer result
6371	R1-R3:	function argument word
6372	R9:	platform specific
6373	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6374	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
6375	R12:	temporary workspace
6376	R13:	stack pointer
6377	R14:	link register
6378	R15:	program counter
6379
6380    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6381
6382    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6383
6384On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6385	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6386
6387    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6388
6389    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6390    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6391
6392On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6393
6394	R0-R1:	argument/return
6395	R2-R5:	argument
6396	R15:	temporary register for assembler
6397	R16:	trampoline register
6398	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
6399	R29:	global pointer (GP)
6400	R30:	link register (LP)
6401	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
6402	PC:	program counter (PC)
6403
6404    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6405
6406NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6407or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6408
6409Memory Management:
6410------------------
6411
6412U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6413MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6414
6415The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6416controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6417memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6418physical memory banks.
6419
6420U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6421TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6422booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6423to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6424memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6425configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6426Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6427
6428Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6429of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6430
6431So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6432this:
6433
6434	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
6435	      :
6436	0x0000 1FFF
6437	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
6438	      :
6439	      :
6440
6441	      :
6442	      :
6443	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6444	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6445	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
6446	      :
6447	0x00FD FFFF
6448	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6449	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6450	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6451	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
6452
6453
6454System Initialization:
6455----------------------
6456
6457In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6458(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6459configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6460To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6461To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6462initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6463which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6464part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6465the caches and the SIU.
6466
6467Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6468preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6469(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6470on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6471programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6472simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6473banks.
6474
6475When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6476different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6477bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64780x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6479contiguous memory starting from 0.
6480
6481Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6482and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6483Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6484pages, and the final stack is set up.
6485
6486Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6487until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6488running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6489new address in RAM.

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