For instance, all monitor commands are 24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to 25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used 26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can 27load and run it dynamically. 28 29 30Status: 31======= 32 33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the 34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered 35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. 36 37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out 38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board 39maintainers. 40 41Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree; 42it can be created dynamically from the Git log using: 43 44 make CHANGELOG 45 46 47Where to get help: 48================== 49 50In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 51U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 52<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

the 231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 232 233There are two classes of configuration variables: 234 235* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 237 "CONFIG_". 238 239* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 242 "CONFIG_SYS_". 243 244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 248as an example here. 249 250 251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 252--------------------------------------------------- 253 254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig". 256 257Example: For a TQM823L module type: 258 259 cd u-boot 260 make TQM823L_defconfig 261 262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent 264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 265 266 267Sandbox Environment: 268-------------------- 269 270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox' 271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture- 272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to 273run some of U-Boot's tests. 274 275See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details. 276 277 278Configuration Options: 279---------------------- 280 281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 282such information is kept in a configuration file 283"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 284 285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 286"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 287 288 289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 291build a config tool - later. 292 293 294The following options need to be configured: 295 296- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 297 298- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 299 300- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 301 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 302 303- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 304 Define exactly one of 305 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 306--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 307 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 308 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 309 310- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 311 Define exactly one of 312 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 313 314- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 315 Define one or more of 316 CONFIG_CMA302 317 318- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 319 Define one or more of 320 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 321 the LCD display every second with 322 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 323 324- Marvell Family Member 325 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 326 multiple fs option at one time 327 for marvell soc family 328 329- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 330 Define exactly one of 331 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 332 333- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 334 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 335 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 336 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 337 reference PIT/RTC clock 338 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 339 or XTAL/EXTAL) 340 341- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 342 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 343 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 344 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 345 See doc/README.MPC866 346 347 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 348 349 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 350 of relying on the correctness of the configured 351 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 352 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 353 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 354 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 355 356 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 357 358 Define this option if you want to enable the 359 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 360 361- 85xx CPU Options: 362 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 363 364 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 365 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 366 compliance, among other possible reasons. 367 368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 369 370 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 371 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 372 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 373 374 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 375 376 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 377 tree nodes for the given platform. 378 379 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 380 381 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 382 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 383 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 384 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 385 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 386 purpose. 387 388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 389 390 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 391 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 393 394 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 395 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 396 397 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 398 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 399 400 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 401 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 402 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 403 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 404 405 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 406 this erratum. 407 408 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 409 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 410 requred during NOR boot. 411 412 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 413 414 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 415 according to the A004510 workaround. 416 417 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR 418 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is 419 connected exclusively to the DSP cores. 420 421 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 422 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 423 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 424 425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR 426 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly 427 connected to the DSP core. 428 429 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 430 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 431 432 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK 433 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's. 434 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply 435 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock. 436 437 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F 438 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the 439 time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized. 440 441 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP 442 Inidcates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is 443 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up. 444 445- Generic CPU options: 446 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA 447 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f(). 448 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in 449 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board 450 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f(). 451 452 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 453 454 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 455 values is arch specific. 456 457 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR 458 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is 459 found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core 460 SoCs. 461 462 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_ADDR 463 Freescale DDR memory-mapped register base. 464 465 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 466 Specify emulator support for DDR.

It is the 533 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But 534 it could be different for ARM SoCs. 535 536 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B 537 DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special 538 interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape 539 SoCs with ARM core. 540 541 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_MAIN_NUM_CTRLS 542 Number of controllers used as main memory. 543 544 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_OTHER_DDR_NUM_CTRLS 545 Number of controllers used for other than main memory. 546 547 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_BE 548 Defines the SEC controller register space as Big Endian 549 550 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE 551 Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian 552 553- Intel Monahans options: 554 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 555 556 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 557 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 558 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 559 560 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 561 562 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 563 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 564 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 565 by this value. 566 567- MIPS CPU options: 568 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 569 570 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 571 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 572 relocation. 573 574 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 575 576 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 577 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 578 Possible values are: 579 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 580 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 581 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 582 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 583 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 584 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 585 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 586 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 587 588 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 589 590 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 591 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 592 593 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 594 595 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 596 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 597 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 598 599- ARM options: 600 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 601 602 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 603 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 604 605 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 606 607 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 608 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 609 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 610 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 611 GCC. 612 613 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 614 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 615 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 616 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 617 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072 618 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320 619 620 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 621 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 622 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 623 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 624 set these options unless they apply! 625 626- Linux Kernel Interface: 627 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 628 629 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 630 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 631 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 632 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 633 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 634 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 635 Linux kernel. 636 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 637 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 638 default environment. 639 640 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 641 642 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 643 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 644 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 645 646 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 647 648 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 649 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 650 concepts). 651 652 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 653 * New libfdt-based support 654 * Adds the "fdt" command 655 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 656 657 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 658 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 659 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 660 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 661 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 662 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 663 664 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 665 addresses 666 667 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 668 669 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 670 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 671 672 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 673 674 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 675 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 676 677 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 678 679 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 680 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 681 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 682 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 683 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 684 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 685 686 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 687 688 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 689 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 690 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 691 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 692 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 693 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 694 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 695 696- vxWorks boot parameters: 697 698 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 699 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 700 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 701 702 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 703 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 704 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 705 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 706 707 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 708 709 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 710 711 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 712 the defaults discussed just above. 713 714- Cache Configuration: 715 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 716 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 717 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 718 719- Cache Configuration for ARM: 720 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 721 controller 722 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 723 controller register space 724 725- Serial Ports: 726 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 727 728 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 729 730 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 731 732 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 733 734 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 735 736 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 737 the clock speed of the UARTs. 738 739 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 740 741 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 742 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 743 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 744 745 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 746 747 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 748 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 749 this variable to initialize the extra register. 750 751 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 752 753 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 754 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 755 variable to flush the UART at init time. 756 757 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL 758 759 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver. 760 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver 761 762- Console Interface: 763 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 764 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 765 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 766 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 767 768 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 769 port routines must be defined elsewhere 770 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 771 772 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 773 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 774 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 775 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 776 (default big endian) 777 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 778 rectangle fill 779 (cf. smiLynxEM) 780 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 781 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 782 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 783 (cols=pitch) 784 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 785 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 786 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 787 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 788 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 789 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 790 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 791 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 792 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 793 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 794 (i.e. i8042_getc) 795 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 796 (requires blink timer 797 cf. i8042.c) 798 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 799 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 800 upper right corner 801 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 802 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 803 upper left corner 804 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 805 linux_logo.h for logo. 806 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 807 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 808 additional board info beside 809 the logo 810 811 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 812 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 813 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 814 815 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 816 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 817 environment 'console=serial'. 818 819 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 820 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 821 the "silent" environment variable. See 822 doc/README.silent for more information. 823 824 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default 825 is 0x00. 826 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default 827 is 0xa0. 828 829- Console Baudrate: 830 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 831 Select one of the baudrates listed in 832 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 833 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 834 835- Console Rx buffer length 836 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 837 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 838 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 839 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 840 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 841 the SMC. 842 843- Pre-Console Buffer: 844 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 845 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 846 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 847 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 848 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 849 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 850 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 851 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 852 earlier bytes are discarded. 853 854 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 855 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 856 857- Safe printf() functions 858 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 859 the printf() functions. These are defined in 860 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 861 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 862 If this option is not given then these functions will 863 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 864 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 865 866- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 867 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 868 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 869 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 870 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 871 872 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 873 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 874 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 875 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 877 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 878 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 879 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 880 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 881 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 882 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 883 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 884 885- Autoboot Command: 886 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 887 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 888 define a command string that is automatically executed 889 when no character is read on the console interface 890 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 891 892 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 893 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 894 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 895 environment value "bootargs". 896 897 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 898 The value of these goes into the environment as 899 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 900 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 901 RAM and NFS. 902 903- Bootcount: 904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 905 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot 906 cycle, see: 907 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 908 909 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV 910 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware 911 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a 912 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable 913 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is 914 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is 915 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment. 916 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available" 917 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully. 918 919- Pre-Boot Commands: 920 CONFIG_PREBOOT 921 922 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 923 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 924 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 925 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 926 entering interactive mode. 927 928 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 929 automatically generated or modified. For an example 930 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 931 modified when the user holds down a certain 932 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 933 booting the systems 934 935- Serial Download Echo Mode: 936 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 937 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 938 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 939 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 940 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 941 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 942 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 943 944- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 945 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 946 Select one of the baudrates listed in 947 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 948 949- Monitor Functions: 950 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 951 from the build by using the #include files 952 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 953 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 954 and augmenting with additional #define's 955 for wanted commands. 956 957 The default command configuration includes all commands 958 except those marked below with a "*". 959 960 CONFIG_CMD_AES AES 128 CBC encrypt/decrypt 961 CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable 962 CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo 963

all functions except of network 1068 support you can write: 1069 1070 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 1071 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 1072 1073 Other Commands: 1074 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1075 1076 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 1077 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 1078 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 1079 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 1080 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 1081 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 1082 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 1083 initial stack and some data. 1084 1085 1086 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 1087 1088- Regular expression support: 1089 CONFIG_REGEX 1090 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 1091 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 1092 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 1093 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 1094 1095- Device tree: 1096 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 1097 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 1098 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 1099 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 1100 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 1101 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 1102 1103 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 1104 be done using one of the two options below: 1105 1106 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 1107 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 1108 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 1109 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 1110 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 1111 the global data structure as gd->blob. 1112 1113 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 1114 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 1115 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 1116 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 1117 1118 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 1119 1120 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 1121 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 1122 still use the individual files if you need something more 1123 exotic. 1124 1125- Watchdog: 1126 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 1127 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 1128 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 1129 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 1130 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 1131 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 1132 available, then no further board specific code should 1133 be needed to use it. 1134 1135 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 1136 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 1137 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 1138 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 1139 1140- U-Boot Version: 1141 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 1142 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1143 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1144 version as printed by the "version" command. 1145 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1146 next reset. 1147 1148- Real-Time Clock: 1149 1150 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1151 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1152 following options: 1153 1154 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1155 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1156 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1157 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1158 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1159 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1160 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1161 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC 1162 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1163 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1164 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1165 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1166 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1167 RV3029 RTC. 1168 1169 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1170 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1171 1172- GPIO Support: 1173 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1174 1175 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1176 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1177 pins supported by a particular chip. 1178 1179 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1180 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1181 1182- I/O tracing: 1183 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O 1184 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out 1185 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is 1186 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that 1187 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code 1188 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To 1189 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>' 1190 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test. 1191 1192 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below. 1193 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will 1194 still continue to operate. 1195 1196 iotrace is enabled 1197 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address) 1198 Size: 00010000 (buffer size) 1199 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset) 1200 Output: 10000120 (start + offset) 1201 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records) 1202 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records) 1203 1204- Timestamp Support: 1205 1206 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1207 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1208 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1209 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1210 1211- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1212 Zero or more of the following: 1213 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1214 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1215 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1216 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1217 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1218 bootloader.

Requires I2C support. 1410 1411 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1412 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1413 per system is supported at this time. 1414 1415 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1416 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1417 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1418 0xfed40000. 1419 1420 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1421 Add tpm monitor functions. 1422 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1423 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1424 1425 CONFIG_TPM 1426 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1427 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1428 Requires support for a TPM device. 1429 1430 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1431 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1432 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1433 1434- USB Support: 1435 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1436 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1437 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1438 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1439 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1440 storage devices. 1441 Note: 1442 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1443 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1444 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1445 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1446 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1447 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1448 for USB on PSC3 1449 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1450 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1451 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1452 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1453 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1454 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1455 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1456 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1457 1458 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1459 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1460 1461 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2 1462 HW module registers. 1463 1464- USB Device: 1465 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1466 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1467 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1468 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1469 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1470 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1471 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1472 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1473 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1474 a Linux host by 1475 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1476 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1477 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1478 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1479 1480 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1481 Define this to build a UDC device 1482 1483 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1484 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1485 talk to the UDC device 1486 1487 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1488 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1489 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1490 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1491 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1492 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1493 speed. 1494 1495 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1496 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1497 be set to usbtty. 1498 1499 mpc8xx: 1500 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1501 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1502 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1503 1504 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1505 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1506 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1507 1508 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1509 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1510 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1511 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1512 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1513 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1514 1515 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1516 Define this string as the name of your company for 1517 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1518 1519 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1520 Define this string as the name of your product 1521 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1522 1523 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1524 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1525 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1526 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1527 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1528 1529 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1530 Define this as the unique Product ID 1531 for your device 1532 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1533 1534- ULPI Layer Support: 1535 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1536 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1537 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1538 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1539 viewport is supported. 1540 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1541 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1542 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1543 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1544 the appropriate value in Hz. 1545 1546- MMC Support: 1547 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1548 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1549 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1550 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1551 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1552 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1553 1554 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1555 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1556 1557 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1558 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1559 1560 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1561 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1562 1563 CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC 1564 Enable the generic MMC driver 1565 1566 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT 1567 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions. 1568 1569 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB 1570 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the 1571 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC. 1572 1573- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1574 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1575 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1576 1577 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1578 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1579 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1580 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1581 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1582 1583 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1584 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1585 1586 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1587 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1588 1589 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1590 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1591 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1592 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1593 one that would help mostly the developer. 1594 1595 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1596 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1597 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1598 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1599 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1600 1601 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1602 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1603 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1604 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1605 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1606 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1607 1608 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT 1609 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the 1610 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending 1611 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device. 1612 1613 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT 1614 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when 1615 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before 1616 sending again an USB request to the device. 1617 1618- USB Device Android Fastboot support: 1619 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT 1620 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android 1621 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB 1622 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control 1623 used on Android devices. 1624 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information. 1625 1626 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE 1627 This enables support for booting images which use the Android 1628 image format header. 1629 1630 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR 1631 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1632 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for 1633 downloaded images. 1634 1635 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE 1636 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1637 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a 1638 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot. 1639 1640 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH 1641 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing 1642 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define 1643 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command. 1644 1645 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV 1646 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information 1647 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to 1648 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image. 1649 1650- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1651 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1652 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1653 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1654 1655 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1656 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1657 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1658 1659 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1660 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1661 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1662 1663 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1664 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1665 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1666 have not defined a custom partition 1667 1668- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1669 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1670 1671 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1672 file in FAT formatted partition. 1673 1674 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1675 user to write files to FAT. 1676 1677CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1678 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1679 1680 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1681 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1682 and cbfsload. 1683 1684- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size: 1685 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE 1686 1687 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else 1688 a default value of 65536 will be defined. 1689 1690- Keyboard Support: 1691 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1692 1693 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1694 support 1695 1696 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1697 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1698 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1699 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1700 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1701 1702 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1703 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1704 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1705 which provides key scans on request. 1706 1707- Video support: 1708 CONFIG_VIDEO 1709 1710 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1711 video). 1712 1713 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1714 1715 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1716 1717 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1718 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1719 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1720 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1721 assumed. 1722 1723 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1724 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1725 are possible: 1726 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1727 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1728 1729 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1730 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1731 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1732 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1733 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1734 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1735 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1736 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1737 1738 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1739 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1740 1741 1742 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1743 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1744 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1745 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1746 1747 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1748 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1749 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1750 support, and should also define these other macros: 1751 1752 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1753 CONFIG_VIDEO 1754 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1755 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1756 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1757 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1758 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1759 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1760 1761 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1762 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1763 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1764 description of this variable. 1765 1766 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1767 1768 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1769 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1770 driver. 1771 1772 1773- Keyboard Support: 1774 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1775 1776 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1777 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1778 defined in your board-specific files. 1779 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1780 1781- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1782 1783 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1784 display); also select one of the supported displays 1785 by defining one of these: 1786 1787 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1788 1789 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1790 1791 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1792 1793 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1794 1795 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1796 1797 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1798 Active, color, single scan. 1799 1800 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1801 1802 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1803 Active, color, single scan. 1804 1805 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1806 1807 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1808 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1809 1810 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1811 1812 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1813 Active, color, single scan. 1814 1815 CONFIG_HLD1045 1816 1817 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1818 Active, color, single scan. 1819 1820 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1821 1822 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1823 or 1824 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1825 or 1826 Hitachi SP14Q002 1827 1828 320x240. Black & white. 1829 1830 Normally display is black on white background; define 1831 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1832 1833 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1834 1835 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1836 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1837 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1838 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1839 a per-section basis. 1840 1841 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1842 1843 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1844 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1845 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1846 is slow. 1847 1848 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1849 1850 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1851 1852 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1853 1854 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1855 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1856 1857- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1858 1859 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1860 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1861 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1862 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1863 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1864 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1865 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1866 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1867 1868 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1869 1870 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1871 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1872 (see README.displaying-bmps). 1873 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1874 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1875 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1876 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1877 there is no need to set this option. 1878 1879 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1880 1881 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1882 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1883 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1884 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1885 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1886 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1887 1888 Example: 1889 setenv splashpos m,m 1890 => image at center of screen 1891 1892 setenv splashpos 30,20 1893 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1894 1895 setenv splashpos -10,m 1896 => vertically centered image 1897 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1898 1899- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1900 1901 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1902 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1903 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1904 1905- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1906 1907 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1908 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1909 bmp command. 1910 1911- Do compresssing for memory range: 1912 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1913 1914 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1915 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1916 1917- Compression support: 1918 CONFIG_GZIP 1919 1920 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 1921 1922 CONFIG_BZIP2 1923 1924 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1925 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1926 compressed images are supported. 1927 1928 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1929 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1930 be at least 4MB. 1931 1932 CONFIG_LZMA 1933 1934 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1935 images is included. 1936 1937 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1938 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1939 formula: 1940 1941 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1942 1943 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1944 and Literal pos bits. 1945 1946 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1947 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1948 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1949 a very small buffer. 1950 1951 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1952 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1953 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1954 1955 CONFIG_LZO 1956 1957 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images 1958 is included. 1959 1960- MII/PHY support: 1961 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1962 1963 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1964 1965 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1966 1967 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1968 1969 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1970 1971 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1972 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1973 1974 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1975 1976 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1977 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1978 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1979 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1980 1981 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1982 1983 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1984 command issued before MII status register can be read 1985 1986- Ethernet address: 1987 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1988 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1989 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1990 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1991 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1992 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1993 1994 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1995 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1996 is not determined automatically. 1997 1998- IP address: 1999 CONFIG_IPADDR 2000 2001 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 2002 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 2003 determined through e.g. bootp. 2004 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 2005 2006- Server IP address: 2007 CONFIG_SERVERIP 2008 2009 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 2010 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 2011 (Environment variable "serverip") 2012 2013 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 2014 2015 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 2016 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 2017 2018- Gateway IP address: 2019 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 2020 2021 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 2022 default router where packets to other networks are 2023 sent to. 2024 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 2025 2026- Subnet mask: 2027 CONFIG_NETMASK 2028 2029 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 2030 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 2031 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 2032 forwarded through a router. 2033 (Environment variable "netmask") 2034 2035- Multicast TFTP Mode: 2036 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 2037 2038 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 2039 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 2040 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 2041 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 2042 multicast group. 2043 2044- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 2045 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 2046 2047 If you have many targets in a network that try to 2048 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 2049 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 2050 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 2051 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 2052 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 2053 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 2054 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 2055 following delays are inserted then: 2056 2057 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 2058 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 2059 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 2060 4th and following 2061 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 2062 2063 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE 2064 2065 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The 2066 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and 2067 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of 2068 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses 2069 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP 2070 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to 2071 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it 2072 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that 2073 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order 2074 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these 2075 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of 2076 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this 2077 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding 2078 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers 2079 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. 2080 2081- DHCP Advanced Options: 2082 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 2083 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 2084 2085 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 2086 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 2087 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 2088 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 2089 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 2090 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 2091 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2092 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 2093 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 2094 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 2095 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 2096 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 2097 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 2098 2099 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 2100 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 2101 2102 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 2103 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 2104 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 2105 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 2106 is not available. 2107 2108 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 2109 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 2110 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 2111 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 2112 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 2113 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 2114 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2115 is defined. 2116 2117 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 2118 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 2119 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 2120 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 2121 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 2122 option 12 to the DHCP server. 2123 2124 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 2125 2126 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 2127 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 2128 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 2129 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 2130 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 2131 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 2132 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 2133 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 2134 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 2135 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 2136 this delay. 2137 2138 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 2139 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 2140 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 2141 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 2142 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 2143 2144 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 2145 2146 - CDP Options: 2147 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 2148 2149 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 2150 2151 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 2152 2153 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 2154 of the device. 2155 2156 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 2157 2158 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 2159 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 2160 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 2161 2162 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 2163 2164 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 2165 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 2166 2167 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 2168 2169 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 2170 2171 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 2172 2173 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 2174 2175 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 2176 2177 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 2178 2179 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 2180 2181 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 2182 device in .1 of milliwatts. 2183 2184 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 2185 2186 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 2187 2188- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 2189 2190 Several configurations allow to display the current 2191 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 2192 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 2193 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 2194 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 2195 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 2196 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 2197 feature in U-Boot. 2198 2199 Additional options: 2200 2201 CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2202 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. 2203 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a 2204 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2205 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. 2206 2207 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE 2208 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which 2209 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and 2210 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state. 2211 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined 2212 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity. 2213 2214- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 2215 2216 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 2217 on those systems that support this (optional) 2218 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 2219 2220- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 2221 2222 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 2223 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 2224 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 2225 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See 2226 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line 2227 interface. 2228 2229 ported i2c driver to the new framework: 2230 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: 2231 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define 2232 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE 2233 for defining speed and slave address 2234 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define 2235 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 2236 for defining speed and slave address 2237 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define 2238 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 2239 for defining speed and slave address 2240 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define 2241 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 2242 for defining speed and slave address 2243 2244 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: 2245 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL 2246 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register 2247 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and 2248 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first 2249 bus. 2250 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define 2251 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset 2252 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and 2253 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the 2254 second bus. 2255 2256 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: 2257 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA 2258 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from 2259 100000 and the slave addr 0!

If you 2352 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this 2353 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can 2354 omit this define. 2355 2356 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS 2357 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. 2358 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can 2359 omit this define. 2360 2361 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS 2362 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected 2363 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 2364 define. 2365 2366 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 2367 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if 2368 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 2369 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 2370 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 2371 2372 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2373 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 2374 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 2375 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 2376 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 2377 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 2378 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2379 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 2380 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 2381 } 2382 2383 which defines 2384 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 2385 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 2386 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 2387 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 2388 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 2389 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 2390 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 2391 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 2392 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 2393 2394 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 2395 2396- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C 2397 2398 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which 2399 provides the following compelling advantages: 2400 2401 - more than one i2c adapter is usable 2402 - approved multibus support 2403 - better i2c mux support 2404 2405 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** 2406 2407 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining 2408 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver 2409 for the selected CPU. 2410 2411 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 2412 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 2413 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 2414 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 2415 command line interface. 2416 2417 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 2418 2419 There are several other quantities that must also be 2420 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2421 2422 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 2423 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 2424 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 2425 the CPU's i2c node address). 2426 2427 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 2428 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 2429 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 2430 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 2431 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 2432 2433 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 2434 2435 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2436 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2437 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 2438 commands until the slave device responds. 2439 2440 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2441 2442 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 2443 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 2444 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 2445 2446 I2C_INIT 2447 2448 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 2449 controller or configure ports. 2450 2451 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 2452 2453 I2C_PORT 2454 2455 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2456 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2457 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2458 2459 I2C_ACTIVE 2460 2461 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2462 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2463 define can be null. 2464 2465 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2466 2467 I2C_TRISTATE 2468 2469 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2470 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2471 define can be null. 2472 2473 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2474 2475 I2C_READ 2476 2477 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2478 false if it is low. 2479 2480 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2481 2482 I2C_SDA(bit) 2483 2484 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2485 is false, it clears it (low). 2486 2487 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2488 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2489 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2490 2491 I2C_SCL(bit) 2492 2493 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2494 is false, it clears it (low). 2495 2496 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2497 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2498 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2499 2500 I2C_DELAY 2501 2502 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2503 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2504 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2505 like: 2506 2507 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2508 2509 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2510 2511 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2512 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2513 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2514 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2515 2516 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2517 the generic GPIO functions. 2518 2519 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2520 2521 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2522 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2523 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2524 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2525 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2526 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2527 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2528 is run early in the boot sequence. 2529 2530 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2531 2532 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2533 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2534 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2535 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2536 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2537 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2538 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2539 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2540 2541 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2542 2543 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2544 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2545 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2546 2547 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2548 2549 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2550 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2551 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2552 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2553 2554 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2555 2556 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2557 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2558 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2559 a 1D array of device addresses 2560 2561 e.g. 2562 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2563 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2564 2565 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2566 2567 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2568 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2569 2570 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2571 2572 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2573 2574 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2575 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2576 2577 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2578 2579 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2580 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2581 2582 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2583 2584 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2585 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2586 2587 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2588 2589 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2590 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2591 specified DTT device. 2592 2593 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2594 2595 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2596 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2597 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2598 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2599 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2600 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2601 the other. 2602 2603- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2604 2605 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2606 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2607 D/As on the SACSng board) 2608 2609 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2610 2611 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2612 only SH7757 is supported. 2613 2614 CONFIG_SPI_X 2615 2616 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2617 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2618 2619 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2620 2621 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2622 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2623 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2624 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2625 defined, the board configuration must define several 2626 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2627 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2628 2629 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2630 2631 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2632 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2633 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2634 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2635 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2636 2637 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2638 2639 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2640 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2641 2642 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT 2643 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed. 2644 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */ 2645 2646- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2647 2648 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2649 2650 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2651 2652 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2653 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2654 2655 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2656 2657 Enables support for FPGA family. 2658 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2659 2660 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2661 2662 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2663 2664 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK 2665 2666 Enable support for fpga loadmk command 2667 2668 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP 2669 2670 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream 2671 2672 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP 2673 2674 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream 2675 (Xilinx only) 2676 2677 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2678 2679 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2680 2681 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2682 2683 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2684 status by the configuration function. This option 2685 will require a board or device specific function to 2686 be written. 2687 2688 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2689 2690 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2691 configuration driver. 2692 2693 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2694 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2695 2696 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2697 2698 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2699 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2700 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2701 indicated a CRC error). 2702 2703 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2704 2705 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2706 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2707 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2708 ms. 2709 2710 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2711 2712 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2713 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2714 2715 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2716 2717 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2718 200 ms. 2719 2720- Configuration Management: 2721 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET 2722 2723 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary 2724 with a special header) as build targets. By defining 2725 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this 2726 special image will be automatically built upon calling 2727 make / MAKEALL. 2728 2729 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2730 2731 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2732 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2733 2734- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2735 2736 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2737 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2738 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2739 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2740 protects these variables from casual modification by 2741 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2742 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2743 change this behaviour: 2744 2745 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2746 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2747 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2748 these parameters. 2749 2750 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2751 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2752 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2753 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2754 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2755 read-only.] 2756 2757 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2758 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2759 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2760 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2761 2762- Protected RAM: 2763 CONFIG_PRAM 2764 2765 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2766 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2767 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2768 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2769 this default value by defining an environment 2770 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2771 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2772 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2773 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2774 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2775 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2776 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2777 2778 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2779 saveenv 2780 2781 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2782 either, which results in a memory region that will 2783 not be affected by reboots. 2784 2785 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2786 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2787 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2788 following board configurations are known to be 2789 "pRAM-clean": 2790 2791 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2792 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2793 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2794 2795- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2796 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2797 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2798 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2799 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2800 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2801 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2802 2803- Error Recovery: 2804 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2805 2806 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2807 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2808 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2809 system where you want the system to reboot 2810 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2811 useful during development since you can try to debug 2812 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2813 2814 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2815 2816 This variable defines the number of retries for 2817 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2818 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2819 default value of 5 is used. 2820 2821 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2822 2823 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2824 2825 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2826 2827 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2828 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2829 try longer timeout such as 2830 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2831 2832- Command Interpreter: 2833 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2834 2835 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2836 2837 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2838 2839 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2840 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2841 powerful command line syntax like 2842 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2843 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2844 2845 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2846 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2847 2848 2849 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2850 2851 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2852 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2853 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2854 2855 Note: 2856 2857 In the current implementation, the local variables 2858 space and global environment variables space are 2859 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2860 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2861 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2862 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2863 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2864 2865 Global environment variables are those you use 2866 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2867 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2868 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2869 2870 To store commands and special characters in a 2871 variable, please use double quotation marks 2872 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2873 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2874 symbols. 2875 2876- Commandline Editing and History: 2877 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2878 2879 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2880 commandline input operations 2881 2882- Default Environment: 2883 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2884 2885 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2886 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2887 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2888 2889 For example, place something like this in your 2890 board's config file: 2891 2892 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2893 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2894 "myvar2=value2\0" 2895 2896 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2897 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2898 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2899 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2900 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2901 You better know what you are doing here. 2902 2903 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2904 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2905 the environment like the "source" command or the 2906 boot command first. 2907 2908 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2909 2910 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2911 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2912 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2913 2914 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2915 2916 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2917 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2918 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2919 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2920 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2921 2922 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2923 2924 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2925 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2926 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2927 2928 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2929 2930 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2931 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2932 that so that the environment is not available until 2933 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2934 this is instead controlled by the value of 2935 /config/load-environment. 2936 2937- DataFlash Support: 2938 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2939 2940 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2941 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2942 commands cp, md... 2943 2944- Serial Flash support 2945 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2946 2947 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2948 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2949 2950 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2951 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2952 commands. 2953 2954 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2955 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2956 flash is present on the system. 2957 2958 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2959 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2960 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2961 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2962 2963 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2964 2965 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2966 test ('sf test'). 2967 2968 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg 2969 2970 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr 2971 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. 2972 2973 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories 2974 2975 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash 2976 memories can be connected with a given cs line. 2977 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections. 2978 2979 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN 2980 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status 2981 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128. 2982 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with 2983 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the 2984 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1, 2985 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register 2986 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER 2987 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this 2988 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH. 2989 2990- SystemACE Support: 2991 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2992 2993 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2994 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2995 of the chip must also be defined in the 2996 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2997 2998 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2999 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 3000 3001 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 3002 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 3003 3004- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 3005 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 3006 3007 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 3008 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 3009 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 3010 number generator is used. 3011 3012 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 3013 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 3014 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 3015 3016 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 3017 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 3018 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 3019 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 3020 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 3021 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 3022 but sometimes that is not allowed. 3023 3024- Hashing support: 3025 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 3026 3027 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 3028 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 3029 3030 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 3031 3032 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 3033 size a little. 3034 3035 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 3036 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 3037 3038 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 3039 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 3040 3041- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 3042 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 3043 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 3044 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 3045 3046 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 3047 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 3048 a boot from specific media. 3049 3050 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 3051 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 3052 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 3053 will set it back to normal. This command currently 3054 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 3055 3056- Signing support: 3057 CONFIG_RSA 3058 3059 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 3060 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information. 3061 3062 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 3063 option. 3064 3065- bootcount support: 3066 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 3067 3068 This enables the bootcounter support, see: 3069 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 3070 3071 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE 3072 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards. 3073 CONFIG_BLACKFIN 3074 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards. 3075 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX 3076 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards. 3077 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM 3078 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM 3079 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C 3080 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device. 3081 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address 3082 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for 3083 the bootcounter. 3084 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len 3085 3086- Show boot progress: 3087 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 3088 3089 Defining this option allows to add some board- 3090 specific code (calling a user-provided function 3091 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 3092 the system's boot progress on some display (for 3093 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 3094 the following checkpoints are implemented: 3095 3096- Detailed boot stage timing 3097 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 3098 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 3099 of the boot process. 3100 3101 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 3102 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 3103 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 3104 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 3105 the limit, recording will stop. 3106 3107 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 3108 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 3109 3110 Timer summary in microseconds: 3111 Mark Elapsed Stage 3112 0 0 reset 3113 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 3114 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 3115 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 3116 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 3117 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 3118 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 3119 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 3120 3121 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 3122 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 3123 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 3124 3125 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 3126 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 3127 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 3128 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 3129 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 3130 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 3131 For example: 3132 3133 bootstage { 3134 154 { 3135 name = "board_init_f"; 3136 mark = <3575678>; 3137 }; 3138 170 { 3139 name = "lcd"; 3140 accum = <33482>; 3141 }; 3142 }; 3143 3144 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 3145 3146Legacy uImage format: 3147 3148 Arg Where When 3149 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 3150 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

3300 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3301 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot. 3302 3303 Default: 3304 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined. 3305 3306 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY 3307 disable the legacy image format 3308 3309 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is 3310 enabled per default for backward compatibility. 3311 3312- FIT image support: 3313 CONFIG_FIT 3314 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 3315 3316 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 3317 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 3318 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 3319 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 3320 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 3321 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 3322 3323 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 3324 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 3325 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See 3326 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 3327 3328 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required 3329 signature check the legacy image format is default 3330 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support 3331 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3332 3333 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256 3334 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size. 3335 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled 3336 with this option. 3337 3338- Standalone program support: 3339 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 3340 3341 This option defines a board specific value for the 3342 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 3343 overwriting the architecture dependent default 3344 settings. 3345 3346- Frame Buffer Address: 3347 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 3348 3349 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 3350 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 3351 when using a graphics controller has separate video 3352 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 3353 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 3354 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 3355 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 3356 configured panel size. 3357 3358 Please see board_init_f function. 3359 3360- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 3361 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 3362 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 3363 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 3364 3365 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 3366 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 3367 3368- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 3369 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 3370 3371 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 3372 Needed for mtdparts command support. 3373 3374 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 3375 3376 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 3377 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 3378 3379 CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE 3380 verify if the written data is correct reread. 3381 3382- UBI support 3383 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 3384 3385 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 3386 with the UBI flash translation layer 3387 3388 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 3389 3390 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3391 3392 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 3393 warnings and errors enabled. 3394 3395 3396 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD 3397 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest 3398 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks 3399 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing 3400 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase 3401 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. 3402 3403 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and 3404 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. 3405 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock 3406 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., 3407 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). 3408 3409 default: 4096 3410 3411 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT 3412 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI 3413 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the 3414 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR 3415 flash), this value is ignored. 3416 3417 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM 3418 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. 3419 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks 3420 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", 3421 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total 3422 count of eraseblocks on the chip). 3423 3424 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to 3425 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks 3426 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire 3427 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means 3428 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad 3429 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same 3430 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a 3431 partition. 3432 3433 default: 20 3434 3435 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP 3436 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device 3437 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it 3438 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. 3439 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach 3440 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where 3441 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install 3442 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter 3443 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note 3444 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations 3445 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap 3446 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. 3447 3448 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT 3449 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images 3450 without a fastmap. 3451 default: 0 3452 3453- UBIFS support 3454 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 3455 3456 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 3457 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 3458 3459 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 3460 3461 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3462 3463 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 3464 warnings and errors enabled. 3465 3466- SPL framework 3467 CONFIG_SPL 3468 Enable building of SPL globally. 3469 3470 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 3471 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 3472 3473 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 3474 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 3475 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 3476 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3477 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3478 must not be both defined at the same time. 3479 3480 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 3481 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 3482 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 3483 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 3484 not exceed it. 3485 3486 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 3487 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 3488 3489 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 3490 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 3491 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 3492 3493 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 3494 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 3495 3496 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3497 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 3498 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 3499 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3500 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3501 must not be both defined at the same time. 3502 3503 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 3504 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 3505 3506 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 3507 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 3508 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 3509 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 3510 3511 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 3512 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3513 3514 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 3515 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3516 3517 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 3518 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 3519 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 3520 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 3521 3522 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT 3523 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL. 3524 See also: doc/README.falcon 3525 3526 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 3527 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 3528 about the running system. 3529 3530 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 3531 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 3532 3533 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 3534 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 3535 3536 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 3537 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 3538 3539 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 3540 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 3541 3542 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 3543 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 3544 3545 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 3546 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 3547 3548 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3549 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3550 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION 3551 Address, size and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3552 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3553 3554 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3555 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3556 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3557 3558 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3559 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3560 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3561 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3562 (for falcon mode) 3563 3564 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3565 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3566 3567 CONFIG_SPL_EXT_SUPPORT 3568 Support for EXT filesystem in SPL binary 3569 3570 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3571 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem 3572 3573 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3574 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3575 from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 3576 3577 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3578 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3579 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 3580 3581 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3582 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3583 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3584 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3585 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3586 3587 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE 3588 Avoid SPL relocation 3589 3590 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3591 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3592 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3593 3594 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3595 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3596 3597 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3598 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3599 3600 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3601 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3602 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3603 3604 CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT 3605 Support for the MTD subsystem within SPL. Useful for 3606 environment on NAND support within SPL. 3607 3608 CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT 3609 Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for 3610 drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary. 3611 3612 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 3613 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 3614 SPL binary. 3615 3616 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3617 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3618 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3619 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3620 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3621 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3622 to read U-Boot 3623 3624 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT 3625 Add support NAND boot 3626 3627 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3628 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3629 3630 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3631 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3632 3633 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3634 Size of image to load 3635 3636 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3637 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3638 3639 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3640 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3641 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 3642 3643 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3644 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3645 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3646 3647 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3648 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3649 3650 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3651 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3652 3653 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3654 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3655 3656 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3657 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3658 3659 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3660 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3661 3662 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3663 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3664 3665 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3666 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3667 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3668 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3669 3670 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3671 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3672 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3673 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3674 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3675 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3676 3677 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3678 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3679 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3680 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3681 3682 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3683 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3684 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3685 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3686 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3687 3688- TPL framework 3689 CONFIG_TPL 3690 Enable building of TPL globally. 3691 3692 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 3693 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 3694 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3695 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3696 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3697 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3698 3699Modem Support: 3700-------------- 3701 3702[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3703 3704- Modem support enable: 3705 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3706 3707- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3708 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3709 3710- Modem debug support: 3711 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3712 3713 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3714 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3715 3716- Interrupt support (PPC): 3717 3718 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3719 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3720 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3721 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3722 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3723 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3724 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3725 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3726 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3727 general timer_interrupt(). 3728 3729- General: 3730 3731 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3732 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3733 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3734 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3735 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3736 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3737 initialization. 3738 3739 If there are no modem init strings in the 3740 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3741 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3742 suppressed, though. 3743 3744 See also: doc/README.Modem 3745 3746Board initialization settings: 3747------------------------------ 3748 3749During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3750to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3751before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3752following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3753architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3754typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3755 3756- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3757- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3758- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3759- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3760 3761Configuration Settings: 3762----------------------- 3763 3764- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit. 3765 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands. 3766 3767- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3768 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3769 3770- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3771 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3772 3773- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3774 prompt for user input. 3775 3776- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3777 3778- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3779 3780- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3781 3782- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3783 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3784 booted 3785 3786- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3787 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3788 3789- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3790 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3791 3792- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3793 If the board specific function 3794 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3795 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3796 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3797 3798- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3799 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3800 3801- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3802 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3803 3804- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3805 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3806 simple memory test. 3807 3808- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3809 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3810 3811- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3812 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3813 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3814 3815- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3816 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3817 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3818 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3819 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3820 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3821 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3822 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3823 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3824 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3825 3826 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3827 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3828 be touched. 3829 3830 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3831 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3832 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3833 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3834 problems. 3835 3836- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3837 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3838 3839- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3840 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3841 3842- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3843 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3844 Cogent motherboard) 3845 3846- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3847 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3848 3849- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3850 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3851 make config files to be same as the text base address 3852 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3853 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3854 3855- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3856 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3857 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3858 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3859 flash sector. 3860 3861- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3862 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3863 3864- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN 3865 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If 3866 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation 3867 will become available before relocation. The address is just 3868 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make 3869 space. 3870 3871 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses 3872 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc() 3873 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing. 3874 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when 3875 U-Boot relocates itself. 3876 3877 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox 3878 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs. 3879 3880- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3881 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3882 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3883 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3884 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3885 3886- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3887 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3888 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3889 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3890 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3891 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3892 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3893 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3894 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3895 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3896 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3897 3898- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3899 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3900 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3901 is enabled. 3902 3903- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3904 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3905 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3906 3907- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3908 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3909 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3910 3911- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3912 Max number of Flash memory banks 3913 3914- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3915 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3916 3917- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3918 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3919 3920- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3921 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3922 3923- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3924 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3925 3926- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3927 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3928 3929- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3930 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3931 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3932 3933- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3934 3935 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3936 without this option such a download has to be 3937 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3938 copy from RAM to flash. 3939 3940 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3941 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3942 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3943 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3944 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3945 3946- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3947 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3948 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3949 3950- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3951 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3952 in the drivers directory 3953 3954- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3955 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3956 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3957 to the MTD layer. 3958 3959- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3960 Use buffered writes to flash. 3961 3962- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3963 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3964 write commands. 3965 3966- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3967 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3968 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3969 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3970 optionally available. 3971 3972- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3973 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3974 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3975 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3976 3977- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 3978 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 3979 against the source after the write operation. An error message 3980 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 3981 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 3982 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 3983 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 3984 this option if you really know what you are doing. 3985 3986- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3987 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3988 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3989 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3990 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3991 on high Ethernet traffic. 3992 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3993 3994- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3995 3996 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3997 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3998 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3999 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 4000 lib/hashtable.c for details. 4001 4002- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 4003- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 4004 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 4005 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 4006 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 4007 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 4008 4009 The format of the list is: 4010 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 4011 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 4012 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 4013 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 4014 list = entry[,list] 4015 4016 The type attributes are: 4017 s - String (default) 4018 d - Decimal 4019 x - Hexadecimal 4020 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 4021 i - IP address 4022 m - MAC address 4023 4024 The access attributes are: 4025 a - Any (default) 4026 r - Read-only 4027 o - Write-once 4028 c - Change-default 4029 4030 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 4031 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 4032 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4033 4034 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 4035 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 4036 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 4037 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 4038 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 4039 ".flags" variable. 4040 4041- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 4042 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 4043 access flags. 4044 4045- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 4046 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 4047 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 4048 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 4049 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 4050 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 4051 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 4052 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 4053 your board please report the problem and send patches! 4054 4055- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 4056 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 4057 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 4058 the value can be calulated on a given board. 4059 4060- CONFIG_USE_STDINT 4061 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this 4062 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when 4063 building U-Boot to enable this. 4064 4065The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 4066of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 4067following configurations: 4068 4069- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 4070 4071 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 4072 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 4073 4074- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 4075 4076 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 4077 4078 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 4079 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 4080 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 4081 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 4082 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 4083 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 4084 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 4085 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 4086 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 4087 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 4088 between U-Boot and the environment. 4089 4090 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4091 4092 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 4093 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 4094 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 4095 for this sector is given here. 4096 4097 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 4098 4099 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4100 4101 This is just another way to specify the start address of 4102 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 4103 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 4104 4105 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4106 4107 Size of the sector containing the environment. 4108 4109 4110 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 4111 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 4112 the environment. 4113 4114 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4115 4116 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 4117 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 4118 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 4119 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 4120 4121 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 4122 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 4123 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 4124 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 4125 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 4126 updating the environment in flash makes it always 4127 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 4128 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 4129 RAM, your target system will be dead. 4130 4131 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 4132 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 4133 4134 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 4135 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 4136 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 4137 a "saveenv" operation. 4138 4139BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 4140source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 4141accordingly! 4142 4143 4144- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 4145 4146 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 4147 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 4148 environment. 4149 4150 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4151 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4152 4153 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 4154 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 4155 can just be read and written to, without any special 4156 provision. 4157 4158BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 4159in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 4160console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 4161U-Boot will hang. 4162 4163Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 4164environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 4165keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 4166to save the current settings. 4167 4168 4169- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 4170 4171 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 4172 device and a driver for it. 4173 4174 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4175 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4176 4177 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4178 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 4179 4180 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 4181 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 4182 The default address is zero. 4183 4184 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 4185 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 4186 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 4187 would require six bits. 4188 4189 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 4190 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 4191 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 4192 4193 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 4194 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 4195 that this is NOT the chip address length! 4196 4197 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 4198 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 4199 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 4200 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 4201 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 4202 byte chips. 4203 4204 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 4205 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 4206 in the chip address. 4207 4208 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 4209 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 4210 4211 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 4212 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 4213 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 4214 4215 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 4216 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 4217 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 4218 EEPROM. For example: 4219 4220 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 4221 4222 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 4223 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 4224 4225- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 4226 4227 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 4228 want to use for the environment. 4229 4230 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4231 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4232 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4233 4234 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 4235 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 4236 at the specified address. 4237 4238- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH: 4239 4240 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you 4241 want to use for the environment. 4242 4243 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4244 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4245 4246 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4247 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4248 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4249 4250 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4251 4252 Define the SPI flash's sector size. 4253 4254 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4255 4256 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4257 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4258 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4259 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4260 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4261 4262 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional): 4263 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional): 4264 4265 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0. 4266 4267 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional): 4268 4269 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz. 4270 4271 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional): 4272 4273 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3. 4274 4275- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 4276 4277 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 4278 want to use for the local device's environment. 4279 4280 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4281 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4282 4283 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 4284 environment area within the remote memory space. The 4285 local device can get the environment from remote memory 4286 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 4287 4288BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 4289"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 4290environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 4291but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 4292 4293- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 4294 4295 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 4296 for the environment. 4297 4298 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4299 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4300 4301 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4302 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4303 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4304 4305 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4306 4307 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4308 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4309 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4310 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4311 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4312 4313 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 4314 4315 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 4316 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 4317 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 4318 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 4319 the range to be avoided. 4320 4321 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 4322 4323 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 4324 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 4325 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 4326 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 4327 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 4328 4329- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 4330 4331 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 4332 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 4333 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4334 4335- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 4336 4337 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 4338 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 4339 accesses, which is important on NAND. 4340 4341 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 4342 4343 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 4344 4345 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 4346 4347 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 4348 environment in. 4349 4350 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 4351 4352 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 4353 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 4354 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 4355 4356 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 4357 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 4358 4359 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 4360 when storing the env in UBI. 4361 4362- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT: 4363 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment. 4364 4365 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE: 4366 4367 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device. 4368 4369 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART: 4370 4371 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can 4372 be as following: 4373 4374 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1) 4375 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no 4376 partition table. 4377 - "D:0": device D. 4378 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition 4379 table, or the whole device D if has no partition 4380 table. 4381 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set. 4382 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no 4383 partition table then means device D. 4384 4385 - FAT_ENV_FILE: 4386 4387 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the 4388 envrionment. 4389 4390 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE: 4391 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file. 4392 4393- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 4394 4395 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 4396 environment. 4397 4398 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 4399 4400 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 4401 4402 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 4403 4404 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 4405 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 4406 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 4407 4408 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4409 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4410 4411 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4412 area within the specified MMC device. 4413 4414 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 4415 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 4416 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 4417 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 4418 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 4419 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 4420 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 4421 4422 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 4423 MMC sector boundary. 4424 4425 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4426 4427 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 4428 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 4429 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 4430 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 4431 4432 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 4433 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 4434 4435 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 4436 an MMC sector boundary. 4437 4438 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 4439 4440 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 4441 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 4442 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4443 4444- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 4445 4446 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 4447 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 4448 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 4449 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 4450 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 4451 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 4452 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 4453 4454Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 4455has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 4456created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 4457until then to read environment variables. 4458 4459The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 4460is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 4461with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 4462necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 4463"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 4464have any device yet where we could complain.] 4465 4466Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 4467the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 4468use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 4469 4470- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 4471 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 4472 4473 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 4474 also needs to be defined. 4475 4476- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 4477 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 4478 4479- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 4480 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 4481 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 4482 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 4483 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 4484 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 4485 4486- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 4487 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 4488 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 4489 to do this. 4490 4491- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 4492 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 4493 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 4494 present. 4495 4496- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT: 4497 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the 4498 build system checks that the actual size does not 4499 exceed it. 4500 4501Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 4502--------------------------------------------------- 4503 4504- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 4505 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 4506 4507- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 4508 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 4509 4510 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 4511 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 4512 the IMMR register after a reset. 4513 4514- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 4515 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 4516 PowerPC SOCs. 4517 4518- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 4519 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 4520 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 4521 4522 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 4523 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 4524 4525- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 4526 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 4527 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 4528 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 4529 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 4530 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 4531 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 4532 4533 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 4534 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 4535 4536- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 4537 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 4538 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 4539 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4540 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4541 4542- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 4543 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 4544 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4545 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4546 4547- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 4548 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 4549 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 4550 4551- Floppy Disk Support: 4552 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 4553 4554 the default drive number (default value 0) 4555 4556 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 4557 4558 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 4559 (default value 1) 4560 4561 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 4562 4563 defines the offset of register from address. It 4564 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 4565 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 4566 4567 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 4568 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 4569 default value. 4570 4571 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 4572 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 4573 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 4574 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 4575 initializations. 4576 4577- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 4578 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 4579 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 4580 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 4581 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 4582 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 4583 is requierd. 4584 4585- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 4586 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 4587 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 4588 4589- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 4590 4591 Start address of memory area that can be used for 4592 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 4593 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 4594 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 4595 will become available only after programming the 4596 memory controller and running certain initialization 4597 sequences. 4598 4599 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 4600 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 4601 - MPC824X: data cache 4602 - PPC4xx: data cache 4603 4604- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 4605 4606 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 4607 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 4608 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 4609 data is located at the end of the available space 4610 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 4611 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 4612 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 4613 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 4614 4615 Note: 4616 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 4617 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 4618 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 4619 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 4620 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 4621 4622- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 4623 4624- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 4625 4626- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 4627 4628- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 4629 4630- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 4631 4632- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 4633 4634- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 4635 SDRAM timing 4636 4637- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 4638 periodic timer for refresh 4639 4640- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 4641 4642- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 4643 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 4644 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 4645 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 4646 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 4647 4648- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 4649 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 4650 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 4651 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 4652 4653- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 4654 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 4655 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 4656 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 4657 4658- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4659 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4660 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 4661 4662- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4663 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4664 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 4665 4666- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4667 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4668 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 4669 4670- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4671 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 4672 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 4673 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 4674 4675- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 4676 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 4677 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 4678 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 4679 cpm_8260.h. 4680 4681- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4682 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 4683 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 4684 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4685 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 4686 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 4687 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 4688 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 4689 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 4690 4691- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 4692 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 4693 required. 4694 4695- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 4696 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 4697 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 4698 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 4699 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4700 by coreboot or similar. 4701 4702- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4703 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4704 4705- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4706 Chip has SRIO or not 4707 4708- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4709 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4710 4711- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4712 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4713 4714- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4715 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4716 4717- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4718 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4719 4720- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4721 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4722 4723- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4724 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4725 4726- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4727 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4728 a 16 bit bus. 4729 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4730 Example of drivers that use it: 4731 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4732 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4733 4734- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4735 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4736 a default value will be used. 4737 4738- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4739 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4740 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4741 4742 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4743 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4744 4745- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4746 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4747 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4748 to something your driver can deal with. 4749 4750- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4751 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4752 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4753 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4754 header files or board specific files. 4755 4756- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4757 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4758 4759- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4760 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4761 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4762 4763- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4764 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4765 4766- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4767 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4768 to the given FEC; i. e. 4769 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4770 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4771 4772 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4773 4774- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4775 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4776 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4777 4778- CONFIG_RMII 4779 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4780 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4781 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4782 4783- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4784 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4785 The syntax is: 4786 4787 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4788 4789 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4790 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4791 area should have. 4792 4793- CONFIG_LOOPW 4794 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4795 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4796 4797- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4798 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4799 "md/mw" commands. 4800 Examples: 4801 4802 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4803 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4804 4805 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4806 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4807 4808 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4809 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4810 4811- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4812 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4813 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4814 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4815 relocate itself into RAM. 4816 4817 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4818 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4819 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4820 these initializations itself. 4821 4822- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4823 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4824 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4825 compiling a NAND SPL. 4826 4827- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 4828 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4829 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 4830 It is loaded by the SPL. 4831 4832- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4833 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4834 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4835 previous 4k of the .text section. 4836 4837- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4838 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4839 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4840 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4841 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4842 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4843 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4844 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4845 4846- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4847 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4848 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4849 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4850 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4851 4852- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4853 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4854 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4855 4856- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4857 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4858 4859 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4860 4861- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC: 4862 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms 4863 4864- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE 4865 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver 4866 driver that uses this: 4867 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c 4868 4869Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4870----------------------------------- 4871 4872The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4873loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4874This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4875are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4876within that device. 4877 4878- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR 4879 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The 4880 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4881 is also specified. 4882 4883- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR 4884 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The 4885 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4886 is also specified. 4887 4888- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 4889 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4890 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4891 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4892 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4893 4894- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 4895 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4896 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 4897 virtual address in NOR flash. 4898 4899- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 4900 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 4901 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 4902 4903- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4904 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4905 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4906 4907- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4908 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4909 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4910 4911- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4912 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4913 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4914 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4915 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4916 master's memory space. 4917 4918Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support: 4919--------------------------------------------------------- 4920The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of 4921"firmware". 4922This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4923are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4924within that device. 4925 4926- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET 4927 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs. 4928 4929- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR 4930 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 4931 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro 4932 is also specified. 4933 4934- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH 4935 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4936 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4937 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4938 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4939 4940- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR 4941 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4942 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the 4943 virtual address in NOR flash. 4944 4945Building the Software: 4946====================== 4947 4948Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4949and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4950all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4951(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4952recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4953which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4954 4955If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4956have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4957you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4958Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4959necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4960 4961 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4962 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4963 4964Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4965 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4966 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4967 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4968 4969 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4970 4971 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4972 be executed on computers running Windows. 4973 4974U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4975sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4976is done by typing: 4977 4978 make NAME_defconfig 4979 4980where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4981rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4982 4983Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4984 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4985 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4986 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4987 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4988 4989 make TQM823L_defconfig 4990 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4991 4992 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig 4993 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4994 4995 etc. 4996 4997 4998Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4999images ready for download to / installation on your system: 5000 5001- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 5002- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 5003- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 5004 5005By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 5006in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 5007this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 5008 50091. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 5010 5011 make O=/tmp/build distclean 5012 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig 5013 make O=/tmp/build all 5014 50152. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 5016 5017 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 5018 make distclean 5019 make NAME_defconfig 5020 make all 5021 5022Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 5023variable. 5024 5025 5026Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 5027for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 5028native "make". 5029 5030 5031If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 5032to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 5033steps: 5034 50351. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 5036 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 5037 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 50382. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 5039 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 5040 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 50413. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 5042 your board 50433. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 5044 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 50454. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. 50465. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 5047 to be installed on your target system. 50486. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 5049 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 5050 5051 5052Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 5053============================================================== 5054 5055If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 5056or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 5057provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 5058the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 5059official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 5060 5061But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 5062cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 5063the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 5064just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 5065for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 5066select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 5067environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 5068you can type 5069 5070 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5071 5072or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 5073 5074 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 5075 5076When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 5077U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 5078setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 5079built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 5080<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 5081location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 5082variable. For example: 5083 5084 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 5085 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 5086 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5087 5088With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 5089log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 5090during the whole build process. 5091 5092 5093See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 5094 5095 5096Monitor Commands - Overview: 5097============================ 5098 5099go - start application at address 'addr' 5100run - run commands in an environment variable 5101bootm - boot application image from memory 5102bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 5103bootz - boot zImage from memory 5104tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 5105 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 5106 (and eventually "gatewayip") 5107tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 5108rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 5109diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 5110loads - load S-Record file over serial line 5111loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 5112md - memory display 5113mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 5114nm - memory modify (constant address) 5115mw - memory write (fill) 5116cp - memory copy 5117cmp - memory compare 5118crc32 - checksum calculation 5119i2c - I2C sub-system 5120sspi - SPI utility commands 5121base - print or set address offset 5122printenv- print environment variables 5123setenv - set environment variables 5124saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 5125protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 5126erase - erase FLASH memory 5127flinfo - print FLASH memory information 5128nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 5129bdinfo - print Board Info structure 5130iminfo - print header information for application image 5131coninfo - print console devices and informations 5132ide - IDE sub-system 5133loop - infinite loop on address range 5134loopw - infinite write loop on address range 5135mtest - simple RAM test 5136icache - enable or disable instruction cache 5137dcache - enable or disable data cache 5138reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 5139echo - echo args to console 5140version - print monitor version 5141help - print online help 5142? - alias for 'help' 5143 5144 5145Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 5146======================================== 5147 5148TODO. 5149 5150For now: just type "help <command>". 5151 5152 5153Environment Variables: 5154====================== 5155 5156U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 5157can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 5158 5159Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 5160"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 5161without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 5162environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 5163working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 5164environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 5165 5166Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 5167 5168List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 5169 5170 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 5171 5172 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 5173 5174 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 5175 5176 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 5177 5178 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 5179 5180 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5181 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5182 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 5183 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 5184 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 5185 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 5186 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 5187 bootm_mapsize. 5188 5189 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 5190 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 5191 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 5192 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 5193 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 5194 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 5195 used otherwise. 5196 5197 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5198 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5199 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 5200 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 5201 environment variable. 5202 5203 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 5204 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 5205 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 5206 5207 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 5208 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 5209 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 5210 load any image using TFTP 5211 5212 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 5213 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 5214 be automatically started (by internally calling 5215 "bootm") 5216 5217 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 5218 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 5219 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 5220 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 5221 data. 5222 5223 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 5224 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 5225 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 5226 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 5227 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 5228 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 5229 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 5230 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 5231 access it during the boot procedure. 5232 5233 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 5234 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 5235 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 5236 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 5237 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 5238 must be accessible by the kernel. 5239 5240 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 5241 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 5242 defined. 5243 5244 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 5245 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 5246 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 5247 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 5248 it must be saved and board must be reset. 5249 5250 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 5251 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 5252 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 5253 is usually what you want since it allows for 5254 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 5255 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 5256 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 5257 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 5258 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 5259 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 5260 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 5261 5262 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 5263 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 5264 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 5265 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 5266 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 5267 12 MB as well - this can be done with 5268 5269 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 5270 5271 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 5272 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 5273 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 5274 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 5275 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 5276 boot time on your system, but requires that this 5277 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 5278 5279 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5280 5281 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 5282 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 5283 5284 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 5285 5286 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5287 5288 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 5289 5290 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 5291 5292 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 5293 5294 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 5295 5296 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 5297 For example you can do the following 5298 5299 => setenv ethact FEC 5300 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 5301 => setenv ethact SCC 5302 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 5303 5304 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 5305 available network interfaces. 5306 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 5307 5308 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 5309 either succeed or fail without retrying. 5310 When set to "once" the network operation will 5311 fail when all the available network interfaces 5312 are tried once without success. 5313 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 5314 themselves. 5315 5316 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 5317 5318 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by 5319 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 5320 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 5321 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 5322 is silent. 5323 5324 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 5325 UDP source port. 5326 5327 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 5328 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 5329 5330 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 5331 we use the TFTP server's default block size 5332 5333 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 5334 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 5335 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 5336 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 5337 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 5338 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 5339 with unreliable TFTP servers. 5340 5341 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 5342 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 5343 VLAN tagged frames. 5344 5345The following image location variables contain the location of images 5346used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 5347not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 5348variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 5349server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 5350loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 5351flash or offset in NAND flash. 5352 5353*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 5354boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 5355boards use these variables for other purposes. 5356 5357Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 5358----- --------- ----------- -------------- 5359u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 5360Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 5361device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 5362ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 5363 5364The following environment variables may be used and automatically 5365updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 5366depending the information provided by your boot server: 5367 5368 bootfile - see above 5369 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 5370 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 5371 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 5372 hostname - Target hostname 5373 ipaddr - see above 5374 netmask - Subnet Mask 5375 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 5376 serverip - see above 5377 5378 5379There are two special Environment Variables: 5380 5381 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 5382 as type string and/or serial number 5383 ethaddr - Ethernet address 5384 5385These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 5386the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 5387once they have been set once. 5388 5389 5390Further special Environment Variables: 5391 5392 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 5393 with the "version" command. This variable is 5394 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 5395 5396 5397Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 5398only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 5399 5400 5401Callback functions for environment variables: 5402--------------------------------------------- 5403 5404For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 5405when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 5406be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 5407deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 5408effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 5409 5410The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 5411U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 5412 5413These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 5414static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 5415in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 5416associations. The list must be in the following format: 5417 5418 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 5419 list = entry[,list] 5420 5421If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 5422Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 5423 5424Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 5425with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 5426override any association in the static list. You can define 5427CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 5428".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 5429 5430 5431Command Line Parsing: 5432===================== 5433 5434There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 5435the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 5436 5437Old, simple command line parser: 5438-------------------------------- 5439 5440- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 5441- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 5442- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 5443- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 5444 for example: 5445 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 5446- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 5447 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 5448 5449Hush shell: 5450----------- 5451 5452- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 5453 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 5454 until...do...done, ... 5455- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 5456 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 5457 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 5458 command 5459 5460General rules: 5461-------------- 5462 5463(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 5464 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 5465 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 5466 executed anyway. 5467 5468(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 5469 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 5470 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 5471 variables are not executed. 5472 5473Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 5474======================================= 5475 5476Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 5477such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 5478"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 5479 5480Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 5481MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 5482"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 5483 5484If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 5485in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 5486ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 5487variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 5488 5489o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 5490 environment, the SROM's address is used. 5491 5492o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 5493 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 5494 used. 5495 5496o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 5497 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 5498 5499o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 5500 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 5501 warning is printed. 5502 5503o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 5504 is raised. 5505 5506If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 5507will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 5508may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 5509The naming convention is as follows: 5510"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 5511 5512Image Formats: 5513============== 5514 5515U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 5516images in two formats: 5517 5518New uImage format (FIT) 5519----------------------- 5520 5521Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 5522to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 5523components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 5524SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 5525 5526 5527Old uImage format 5528----------------- 5529 5530Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 5531preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 5532details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 5533 5534* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 5535 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 5536 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 5537 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 5538 INTEGRITY). 5539* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 5540 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 5541 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 5542* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 5543* Load Address 5544* Entry Point 5545* Image Name 5546* Image Timestamp 5547 5548The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 5549and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 5550CRC32 checksums. 5551 5552 5553Linux Support: 5554============== 5555 5556Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 5557easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 5558U-Boot. 5559 5560U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 5561special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 5562"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 5563instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 5564serves several purposes: 5565 5566- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 5567 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 5568 Flash memory footprint) 5569 5570- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 5571 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 5572 5573- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 5574 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 5575 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 5576 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 5577 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 5578 software is easier now. 5579 5580 5581Linux HOWTO: 5582============ 5583 5584Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 5585--------------------------------------- 5586 5587U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 5588configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 5589(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 5590Linux :-). 5591 5592But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 5593 5594Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 5595include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 5596Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 5597and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 5598as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 5599 5600Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. 5601If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there 5602is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See 5603doc/driver-model. 5604 5605 5606Configuring the Linux kernel: 5607----------------------------- 5608 5609No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 5610device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 5611 5612 5613Building a Linux Image: 5614----------------------- 5615 5616With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 5617not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 5618"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 5619U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 5620which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 5621100% compatible format. 5622 5623Example: 5624 5625 make TQM850L_defconfig 5626 make oldconfig 5627 make dep 5628 make uImage 5629 5630The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 5631encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 5632CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 5633 5634* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 5635 5636* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 5637 5638 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 5639 -R .note -R .comment \ 5640 -S vmlinux linux.bin 5641 5642* compress the binary image: 5643 5644 gzip -9 linux.bin 5645 5646* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 5647 5648 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 5649 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 5650 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 5651 5652 5653The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 5654with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 5655combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 5656byte header containing information about target architecture, 5657operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 5658stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 5659 5660"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 5661print the header information, or to build new images. 5662 5663In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 5664contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 5665checksum verification: 5666 5667 tools/mkimage -l image 5668 -l ==> list image header information 5669 5670The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 5671from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 5672 5673 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 5674 -n name -d data_file image 5675 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 5676 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 5677 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5678 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 5679 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 5680 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 5681 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 5682 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 5683 5684Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 5685address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 5686kernel version: 5687 5688- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 5689- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 5690 5691So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 5692 5693 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5694 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 5695 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 5696 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 5697 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5698 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5699 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5700 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5701 Load Address: 0x00000000 5702 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5703 5704To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 5705 5706 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 5707 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5708 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5709 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5710 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5711 Load Address: 0x00000000 5712 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5713 5714NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 5715speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 5716needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 5717need to be uncompressed: 5718 5719 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 5720 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5721 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 5722 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 5723 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 5724 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5725 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5726 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5727 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5728 Load Address: 0x00000000 5729 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5730 5731 5732Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5733when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5734 5735 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5736 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5737 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5738 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 5739 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 5740 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 5741 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 5742 Load Address: 0x00000000 5743 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5744 5745The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i" 5746option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d" 5747option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file" 5748from the image: 5749 5750 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file 5751 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \ 5752 indexed by 'position' 5753 5754 5755Installing a Linux Image: 5756------------------------- 5757 5758To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 5759you must convert the image to S-Record format: 5760 5761 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 5762 5763The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 5764image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 5765address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 5946 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 5947 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 5948 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 5949 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 5950 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5951 being started. 5952 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5953 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5954 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5955 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5956 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5957 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5958 5959 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5960 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5961 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5962 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5963 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5964 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5965 5966 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5967 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5968 flash memory. 5969 5970 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5971 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5972 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5973 as command interpreter. 5974 5975Booting the Linux zImage: 5976------------------------- 5977 5978On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5979using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5980as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5981 5982Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 5983kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5984address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5985format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5986 5987 5988Standalone HOWTO: 5989================= 5990 5991One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5992run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5993U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5994 5995Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5996 5997"Hello World" Demo: 5998------------------- 5999 6000'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 6001application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 6002It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 6003like that: 6004 6005 => loads 6006 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6007 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 6008 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6009 [file transfer complete] 6010 [connected] 6011 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6012 6013 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 6034controlled by the following keys: 6035 6036 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 6037 b - enable interrupts and start timer 6038 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 6039 q - quit application 6040 6041 => loads 6042 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6043 ~>examples/timer.srec 6044 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6045 [file transfer complete] 6046 [connected] 6047 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6048 6049 => go 40004 6050 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 6051 TIMERS=0xfff00980 6052 Using timer 1 6053 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 6054 6055Hit 'b': 6056 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 6057 Enabling timer 6058Hit '?': 6059 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 6060 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 6061Hit '?': 6062 [q, b, e, ?] . 6063 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 6064Hit '?': 6065 [q, b, e, ?] . 6066 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 6067Hit '?': 6068 [q, b, e, ?] . 6069 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 6070Hit 'e': 6071 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 6072Hit 'q': 6073 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 6074 6075 6076Minicom warning: 6077================ 6078 6079Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 6080"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 6081consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 6082Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 6083especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 6084use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 6085http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 6086for help with kermit. 6087 6088 6089Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 6090configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 6091 6092 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 6109 6110 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 6111 # mkdir powerpc 6112 # ln -s powerpc machine 6113 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 6114 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 6115 6116Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 6117and U-Boot include files. 6118 6119Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 6120stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 6121proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 6122tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 6123meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 6124 6125 6126Implementation Internals: 6127========================= 6128 6129The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 6130implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 6131inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 6132hardware. 6133 6134 6135Initial Stack, Global Data: 6136--------------------------- 6137 6138The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 6139starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 6140system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 6141This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 6142is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 6143at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 6144options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 6145models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 6146MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 6147locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 6148 6149 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 6150 U-Boot mailing list: 6151 6152 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 6153 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 6154 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 6155 ... 6156 6157 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 6158 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 6159 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 6160 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 6161 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 6162 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 6163 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 6164 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 6165 6166 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 6167 is another option for the system designer to use as an 6168 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 6169 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 6170 board designers haven't used it for something that would 6171 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 6172 used. 6173 6174 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 6175 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 6176 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 6177 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 6178 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 6179 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 6180 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 6181 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 6182 you get the config right. 6183 6184 -Chris Hallinan 6185 DS4.COM, Inc. 6186 6187It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 6188code for the initialization procedures: 6189 6190* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 6191 to write it. 6192 6193* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 6194 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 6195 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 6196 6197* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 6198 that. 6199 6200Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 6201normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 6202turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 6203simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 6204functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 6205functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 6206the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 6207place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 6208reserve for this purpose. 6209 6210When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 6211relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 6212GCC's implementation. 6213 6214For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 6215 R1: stack pointer 6216 R2: reserved for system use 6217 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 6218 R5-R10: parameter passing 6219 R13: small data area pointer 6220 R30: GOT pointer 6221 R31: frame pointer 6222 6223 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 6224 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 6225 going back and forth between asm and C) 6226 6227 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 6228 6229 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 6230 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 6231 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 6232 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 6233 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 6234 624 text + 127 data). 6235 6236On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 6237 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 6238 6239 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 6240 6241On ARM, the following registers are used: 6242 6243 R0: function argument word/integer result 6244 R1-R3: function argument word 6245 R9: platform specific 6246 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 6247 R11: argument (frame) pointer 6248 R12: temporary workspace 6249 R13: stack pointer 6250 R14: link register 6251 R15: program counter 6252 6253 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 6254 6255 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 6256 6257On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 6258 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 6259 6260 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 6261 6262 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 6263 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 6264 6265On NDS32, the following registers are used: 6266 6267 R0-R1: argument/return 6268 R2-R5: argument 6269 R15: temporary register for assembler 6270 R16: trampoline register 6271 R28: frame pointer (FP) 6272 R29: global pointer (GP) 6273 R30: link register (LP) 6274 R31: stack pointer (SP) 6275 PC: program counter (PC) 6276 6277 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 6278 6279NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 6280or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 6281 6282Memory Management: 6283------------------ 6284 6285U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 6286MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 6287 6288The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 6289controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 6290memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 6291physical memory banks. 6292 6293U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 6294TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 6295booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 6296to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 6297memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 6298configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 6299Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 6300 6301Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 6302of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 6303 6304So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 6305this: 6306 6307 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 6308 : 6309 0x0000 1FFF 6310 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 6311 : 6312 : 6313 6314 : 6315 : 6316 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 6317 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 6318 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 6319 : 6320 0x00FD FFFF 6321 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 6322 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 6323 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 6324 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 6325 6326 6327System Initialization: 6328---------------------- 6329 6330In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 6331(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 6332configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 6333To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 6334To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 6335initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 6336which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 6337part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 6338the caches and the SIU. 6339 6340Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 6341preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 6342(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 6343on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 6344programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 6345simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 6346banks. 6347 6348When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 6349different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 6350bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 63510x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 6352contiguous memory starting from 0. 6353 6354Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 6355and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 6356Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 6357pages, and the final stack is set up. 6358 6359Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 6360until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 6361running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 6362new address in RAM. 6363 6364 6365U-Boot Porting Guide: 6366---------------------- 6367 6368[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 6369list, October 2002] 6370 6371 6372int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 6373{ 6374 sighandler_t no_more_time; 6375 6376 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 6377 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 6378 6379 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 6380 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 6381 return 0; 6382 } 6383 6384 Download latest U-Boot source; 6385 6386 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 6387 6388 if (clueless) 6389 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 6390 6391 while (learning) { 6392 Read the README file in the top level directory; 6393 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 6394 Read applicable doc/*.README; 6395 Read the source, Luke; 6396 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 6397 } 6398 6399 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 6400 Buy a BDI3000; 6401 else 6402 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 6403 6404 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 6405 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 6406 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 6407 } else { 6408 Create your own board support subdirectory; 6409 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 6410 } 6411 Edit new board/<myboard> files 6412 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 6413 6414 while (!accepted) { 6415 while (!running) { 6416 do { 6417 Add / modify source code; 6418 } until (compiles); 6419 Debug; 6420 if (clueless) 6421 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 6422 } 6423 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 6424 if (reasonable critiques) 6425 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 6426 else 6427 Defend code as written; 6428 } 6429 6430 return 0; 6431} 6432 6433void no_more_time (int sig) 6434{ 6435 hire_a_guru(); 6436} 6437 6438 6439Coding Standards: 6440----------------- 6441 6442All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 6443coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 6444"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 6445 6446Source files originating from a different project (for example the 6447MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 6448reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 6449sources. 6450 6451Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 6452Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 6453in your code. 6454 6455Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 6456- remove any trailing white space 6457- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 6458- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 6459- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 6460- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 6461 6462Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 6463with a request to reformat the changes. 6464 6465 6466Submitting Patches: 6467------------------- 6468 6469Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 6470establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 6471may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 6472 6473Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 6474 6475Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 6476see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 6477 6478When you send a patch, please include the following information with 6479it: 6480 6481* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 6482 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 6483 patch actually fixes something. 6484 6485* For new features: a description of the feature and your 6486 implementation. 6487 6488* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 6489 6490* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 6491 6492* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a 6493 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. 6494 6495* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 6496 document these in the README file. 6497 6498* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 6499 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 6500 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 6501 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 6502 with some other mail clients. 6503 6504 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 6505 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 6506 GNU diff. 6507 6508 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 6509 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 6510 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 6511 affected files). 6512 6513 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 6514 and compressed attachments must not be used. 6515 6516* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 6517 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 6518 6519* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 6520 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 6521 6522 6523Notes: 6524 6525* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 6526 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 6527 for any of the boards. 6528 6529* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 6530 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 6531 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 6532 6533* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 6534 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 6535 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 6536 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 6537 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 6538 modification. 6539 6540* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 6541 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 6542 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 6543 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 6544
