8Summary:
9========
10
11This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
12Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
16
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
18the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
20support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.
28
29
30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
34Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
35"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.
36
37In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
38the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.
41
42Note: As of August, 2010, there is no longer a CHANGELOG file in the
43actual U-Boot source tree; however, it can be created dynamically
44from the Git log using:
45

171
172Software Configuration:
173=======================
174
175Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
176rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
177
178There are two classes of configuration variables:
179
180* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
181  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
182  "CONFIG_".
183
184* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
185  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
186  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
187  "CONFIG_SYS_".
188
189Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
190symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
191U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
192allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
193build.
194
195
196Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
197---------------------------------------------------
198
199For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
200configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
201
202Example: For a TQM823L module type:
203
204	cd u-boot
205	make TQM823L_defconfig
206
207Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
208you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
209doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
210
211Sandbox Environment:
212--------------------
213
214U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
215board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
216specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
217run some of U-Boot's tests.
218
219See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
220
221
222Board Initialisation Flow:
223--------------------------
224
225This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
226SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
227
228Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
229more detail later in this file.
230
231At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
232and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
233may not conform to this.  At least most ARM boards which use
234CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
235
236Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
237CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
238
239	- arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
240	- arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
241	- arch/mips/cpu/start.S
242
243and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
244limitations of each of these functions are described below.
245
246lowlevel_init():
247	- purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
248	- no global_data or BSS
249	- there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
250	- must not set up SDRAM or use console
251	- must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
252		board_init_f()
253	- this is almost never needed
254	- return normally from this function
255
256board_init_f():
257	- purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
258		i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
259	- global_data is available
260	- stack is in SRAM
261	- BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
262		only stack variables and global_data
263
264	Non-SPL-specific notes:
265	- dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
266		can do nothing
267
268	SPL-specific notes:
269	- you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
270		version as needed.
271	- preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
272	- should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
273	- these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
274	- must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
275		directly)
276
277Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
278this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
279CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
280memory.
281
282board_init_r():
283	- purpose: main execution, common code
284	- global_data is available
285	- SDRAM is available
286	- BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
287	- execution eventually continues to main_loop()
288
289	Non-SPL-specific notes:
290	- U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
291		there.
292
293	SPL-specific notes:
294	- stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
295		CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
296	- preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
297		done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
298		spl_board_init() function containing this call
299	- loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

302
303Configuration Options:
304----------------------
305
306Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
307such information is kept in a configuration file
308"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
309
310Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
311"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
312
313
314Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
315kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
316build a config tool - later.
317
318
319The following options need to be configured:
320
321- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
322
323- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
324
325- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
326		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
327
328- Marvell Family Member
329		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
330					  multiple fs option at one time
331					  for marvell soc family
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		required during NOR boot.
411
412		CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
413		Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
414		required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
415
416		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
417
418		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
419		according to the A004510 workaround.
420
421		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
422		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
423		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
424
425		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
426		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
427		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
428
429		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
430		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
431		connected to the DSP core.
432
433		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
434		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
435
436		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
437		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
438		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
439		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
440
441		CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
442		This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
443		time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
444
445		CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
446		Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
447		supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
448
449- Generic CPU options:
450		CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
451		Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
452		If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
453		generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
454		should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
455
456		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
457
458		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
459		values is arch specific.

556
557		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE
558		Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian
559
560- MIPS CPU options:
561		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
562
563		Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
564		pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
565		relocation.
566
567		CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
568
569		Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
570		See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
571		Possible values are:
572			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
573			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
574			CONF_CM_UNCACHED
575			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
576			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
577			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
578			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
579			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
580
581		CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
582
583		Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
584		See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
585
586		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
587
588		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
589		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
590		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
591
592- ARM options:
593		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
594
595		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
596		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
597
598		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
599
600		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
601		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
602		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
603		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
604		GCC.
605
606		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
607		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
608		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
609		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
610		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
611		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_773022
612		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_774769
613		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
614
615		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
616		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
617		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
618		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
619		set these options unless they apply!
620
621		COUNTER_FREQUENCY
622		Generic timer clock source frequency.
623
624		COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
625		Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
626		different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
627		at run time.
628
629		NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
630		do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
631		specific checks, but expect no product checks.
632		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
633		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
634		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
635		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
636		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_801819
637
638- Tegra SoC options:
639		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
640
641		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
642		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
643		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
644
645- Linux Kernel Interface:
646		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
647
648		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
649		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
650		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
651		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
652		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
653		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
654		Linux kernel.
655		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
656		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
657		default environment.
658
659		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
660
661		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
662		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
663		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
664
665		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
666
667		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
668		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
669		concepts).
670
671		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
672		 * New libfdt-based support
673		 * Adds the "fdt" command
674		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
675
676		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
677			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
678		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
679			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
680		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
681		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
682
683		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
684		addresses
685
686		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
687
688		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
689		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
690
691		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
692
693		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
694		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
695		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
696		the kernel.
697
698		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
699
700		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
701		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
702		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
703		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
704		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
705		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
706
707		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
708
709		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
710		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
711		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
712		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
713		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
714		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
715		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
716
717- vxWorks boot parameters:
718
719		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
720		environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
721		serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
722		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
723
724		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
725		the defaults discussed just above.
726
727- Cache Configuration:
728		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
729		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
730		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
731
732- Cache Configuration for ARM:
733		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
734				      controller
735		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
736					controller register space
737
738- Serial Ports:
739		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
740
741		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
742
743		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
744
745		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
746
747		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
748
749		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
750		the clock speed of the UARTs.
751
752		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
753
754		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
755		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
756		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
757
758		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
759
760		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
761		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
762
763- Console Interface:
764		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
765		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
766		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
767		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
768
769		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
770		port routines must be defined elsewhere
771		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
772
773		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
774		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
775		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
776			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
777						(default big endian)
778			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
779						rectangle fill
780						(cf. smiLynxEM)
781			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
782						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
783			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
784						(cols=pitch)
785			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
786			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
787			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
788						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
789			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
790			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
791						(i.e. rx51_kp_init())
792			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
793						(i.e. rx51_kp_tstc)
794			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
795						(i.e. rx51_kp_getc)
796			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
797						upper left corner
798			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
799						linux_logo.h for logo.
800						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
801			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
802						additional board info beside
803						the logo
804			CONFIG_HIDE_LOGO_VERSION
805						do not display bootloader
806						version string
807
808		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
809		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
810		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
811
812		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
813		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
814		environment 'console=serial'.
815
816		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
817		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
818		the "silent" environment variable. See
819		doc/README.silent for more information.
820
821		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
822			is 0x00.
823		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
824			is 0xa0.
825
826- Console Baudrate:
827		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
828		Select one of the baudrates listed in
829		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
830		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
831
832- Console Rx buffer length
833		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
834		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
835		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
836		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
837		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
838		the SMC.
839
840- Pre-Console Buffer:
841		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
842		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
843		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
844		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
845		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
846		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
847		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
848		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
849		earlier bytes are discarded.
850
851		Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
852		stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
853
854		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
855		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
856
857- Autoboot Command:
858		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
859		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
860		define a command string that is automatically executed
861		when no character is read on the console interface
862		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
863
864		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
865		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
866		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
867		environment value "bootargs".
868
869		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
870		The value of these goes into the environment as
871		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
872		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
873		RAM and NFS.
874
875- Bootcount:
876		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
877		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
878		cycle, see:
879		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
880
881		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
882		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
883		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
884		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
885		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
886		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
887		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
888		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
889		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
890
891- Pre-Boot Commands:
892		CONFIG_PREBOOT
893
894		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
895		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
896		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
897		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
898		entering interactive mode.
899
900		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
901		automatically generated or modified. For an example
902		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
903		modified when the user holds down a certain
904		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
905		booting the systems
906
907- Serial Download Echo Mode:
908		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
909		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
910		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
911		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
912		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
913		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
914		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
915
916- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
917		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
918		Select one of the baudrates listed in
919		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
920
921- Monitor Functions:
922		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
923		from the build by using the #include files
924		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
925		commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
926
927		The default command configuration includes all commands
928		except those marked below with a "*".

1040
1041		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1042		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1043
1044	Other Commands:
1045		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1046
1047	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1048		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1049		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1050		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1051		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1052		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1053		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1054		initial stack and some data.
1055
1056
1057		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1058
1059- Removal of commands
1060		If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1061		CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1062		will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1063		boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1064		instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1065		simple boot procedures.
1066
1067- Regular expression support:
1068		CONFIG_REGEX
1069		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1070		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1071		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1072		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1073
1074- Device tree:
1075		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1076		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1077		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1078		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1079		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1080		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1081
1082		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1083		be done using one of the two options below:
1084
1085		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1086		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1087		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1088		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1089		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1090		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1091
1092		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1093		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1094		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1095		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1096
1097			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1098
1099		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1100		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1101		still use the individual files if you need something more
1102		exotic.
1103
1104- Watchdog:
1105		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1106		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1107		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1108		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1109		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1110		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1111		available, then no further board specific code should
1112		be needed to use it.
1113
1114		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1115		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1116		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1117		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1118
1119		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1120		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1121
1122- U-Boot Version:
1123		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1124		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1125		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1126		version as printed by the "version" command.
1127		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1128		next reset.
1129
1130- Real-Time Clock:
1131
1132		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1133		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1134		following options:
1135
1136		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1137		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1138		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1139		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1140		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1141		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1142		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1143		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1144		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1145		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1146		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1147		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1148		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1149					  RV3029 RTC.
1150
1151		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1152		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1153
1154- GPIO Support:
1155		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1156
1157		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1158		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1159		pins supported by a particular chip.
1160
1161		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1162		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1163
1164- I/O tracing:
1165		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1166		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1167		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1168		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1169		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1170		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1171		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1172		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1173
1174		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1175		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1176		still continue to operate.
1177
1178			iotrace is enabled
1179			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1180			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1181			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
1182			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
1183			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
1184			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
1185
1186- Timestamp Support:
1187
1188		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1189		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1190		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1191		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1192
1193- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1194		Zero or more of the following:
1195		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1196		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1197				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1198		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1199		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1200				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1201				       disk/part_efi.c
1202		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1203
1204		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1205		CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1206		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1207
1208- IDE Reset method:
1209		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1210		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1211
1212		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1213		be performed by calling the function
1214			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1215		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1216
1217- ATAPI Support:
1218		CONFIG_ATAPI
1219
1220		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1221
1222- LBA48 Support
1223		CONFIG_LBA48
1224
1225		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1226		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1227		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1228		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1229
1230		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1231			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1232			Default is 32bit.
1233
1234- SCSI Support:
1235		At the moment only there is only support for the
1236		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1237		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1238
1239		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1240		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1241		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1242		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1243		devices.
1244		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)

1322
1323		CONFIG_FTGMAC100
1324		Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet
1325
1326			CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA
1327			Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1328			Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.
1329			If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur
1330			wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1331			useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1332			control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1333			correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1334

1421		Note:
1422		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1423		(TEAC FD-05PUB).
1424		MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1425			CONFIG_USB_CLOCK
1426				for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1427			CONFIG_PSC3_USB
1428				for USB on PSC3
1429			CONFIG_USB_CONFIG
1430				for differential drivers: 0x00001000
1431				for single ended drivers: 0x00005000

1443
1444- USB Device:
1445		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1446		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1447		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1448		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1449		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1450		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1451		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1452		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1453		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1454		a Linux host by
1455		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1456		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1457		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1458		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1459
1460			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1461			Define this to build a UDC device
1462
1463			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1464			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1465			talk to the UDC device
1466
1467			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1468			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1469			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1470			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1471			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1472			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1473			speed.
1474
1475			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1476			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1477			be set to usbtty.
1478
1479			mpc8xx:
1480				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1481				Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1482				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1483
1484		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1485		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1486		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1487		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1488		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1489		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1490
1491			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1492			Define this string as the name of your company for
1493			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1494
1495			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1496			Define this string as the name of your product
1497			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1498
1499			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1500			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1501			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1502			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1503			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1504
1505			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1506			Define this as the unique Product ID
1507			for your device
1508			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1509
1510- ULPI Layer Support:
1511		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1512		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1513		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1514		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1515		viewport is supported.
1516		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1517		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1518		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1519		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1520		the appropriate value in Hz.
1521
1522- MMC Support:
1523		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1524		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1525		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1526		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1527		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1528		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1529
1530		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1531		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1532
1533			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR

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

2336		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
2337
2338		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2339		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2340		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2341		omit this define.
2342
2343		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2344		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2345		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2346		define.
2347
2348		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2349		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2350		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2351		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2352		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2353
2354		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2355					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2356					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2357					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2358					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2359					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2360					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2361					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2362					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2363					}
2364
2365		which defines
2366			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2367			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1

2375
2376		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2377
2378- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2379
2380		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2381		provides the following compelling advantages:
2382
2383		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2384		- approved multibus support
2385		- better i2c mux support
2386
2387		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2388
2389		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2390		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2391		for the selected CPU.
2392
2393		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2394		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2395		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2396		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2397		command line interface.
2398
2399		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2400
2401		There are several other quantities that must also be
2402		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2403
2404		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2405		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2406		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2407		the CPU's i2c node address).
2408
2409		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2410		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2411		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2412		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2413		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2414
2415		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2416
2417		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2418		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2419		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2420		commands until the slave device responds.
2421
2422		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2423
2424		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2425		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2426		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2427
2428		I2C_INIT
2429
2430		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2431		controller or configure ports.
2432
2433		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2434
2435		I2C_PORT
2436
2437		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2438		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2439		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2440
2441		I2C_ACTIVE
2442
2443		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2444		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2445		define can be null.
2446
2447		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2448
2449		I2C_TRISTATE
2450
2451		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2452		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2453		define can be null.
2454
2455		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2456
2457		I2C_READ
2458
2459		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2460		false if it is low.
2461
2462		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2463
2464		I2C_SDA(bit)
2465
2466		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2467		is false, it clears it (low).
2468
2469		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2470			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2471			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2472
2473		I2C_SCL(bit)
2474
2475		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2476		is false, it clears it (low).
2477
2478		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2479			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2480			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2481
2482		I2C_DELAY
2483
2484		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2485		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2486		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2487		like:
2488
2489		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2490
2491		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2492
2493		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2494		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2495		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2496		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2497
2498		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2499		the generic GPIO functions.
2500
2501		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2502
2503		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2504		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2505		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2506		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2507		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2508		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2509		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2510		is run early in the boot sequence.
2511
2512		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2513
2514		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2515		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2516		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2517		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2518		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2519		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2520		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2521		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2522
2523		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2524
2525		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2526		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2527		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2528
2529		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2530
2531		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2532		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2533		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2534		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2535
2536		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2537
2538		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2539		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2540		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2541		a 1D array of device addresses
2542
2543		e.g.
2544			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2545			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2546
2547		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2548
2549			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2550			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2551
2552		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2553
2554		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2555
2556		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2557		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2558
2559		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2560
2561		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2562		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2563
2564		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2565
2566		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2567		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2568
2569		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2570
2571		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2572		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2573		specified DTT device.
2574
2575		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2576
2577		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2578		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2579		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2580		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2581		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2582		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2583		the other.
2584
2585- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2586
2587		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2588		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2589		D/As on the SACSng board)
2590
2591		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2592
2593		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2594		only SH7757 is supported.
2595
2596		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2597
2598		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2599		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2600		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2601		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2602		defined, the board configuration must define several
2603		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2604		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2605
2606		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2607
2608		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2609		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2610		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2611		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2612		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2613
2614		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2615
2616		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2617		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2618
2619		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2620		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2621		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2622
2623- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2624
2625		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2626
2627		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2628
2629		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2630		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2631
2632		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2633
2634		Enables support for FPGA family.
2635		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2636
2637		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2638
2639		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2640
2641		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2642
2643		Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2644
2645		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2646
2647		Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2648
2649		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2650
2651		Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2652		(Xilinx only)
2653
2654		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2655
2656		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2657
2658		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2659
2660		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2661		status by the configuration function. This option
2662		will require a board or device specific function to
2663		be written.
2664
2665		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2666
2667		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2668		configuration driver.
2669
2670		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2671		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2672
2673		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2674
2675		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2676		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2677		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2678		indicated a CRC error).
2679
2680		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2681
2682		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2683		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2684		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2685		ms.
2686
2687		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2688
2689		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2690		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2691
2692		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2693
2694		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2695		200 ms.
2696
2697- Configuration Management:
2698		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2699
2700		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2701		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2702		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2703		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2704		make / buildman.
2705
2706		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2707
2708		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2709		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2710
2711- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2712
2713		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2714		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2715		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2716		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2717		protects these variables from casual modification by
2718		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2719		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2720		change this behaviour:
2721
2722		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2723		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2724		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2725		these parameters.
2726
2727		Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2728		default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2729		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2730		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2731		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2732		read-only.]
2733
2734		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2735		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2736		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2737		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2738
2739- Protected RAM:
2740		CONFIG_PRAM
2741
2742		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2743		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2744		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2745		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2746		this default value by defining an environment
2747		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2748		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2749		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2750		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2751		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2752		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2753		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2754
2755			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2756			saveenv
2757
2758		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2759		either, which results in a memory region that will
2760		not be affected by reboots.
2761
2762		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2763		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2764		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2765		following board configurations are known to be
2766		"pRAM-clean":
2767
2768			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2769			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2770			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2771
2772- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2773		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2774		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2775		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2776		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2777		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2778		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2779
2780- Error Recovery:
2781		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2782
2783		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2784		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2785		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2786		system where you want the system to reboot
2787		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2788		useful during development since you can try to debug
2789		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2790
2791		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2792
2793		This variable defines the number of retries for
2794		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2795		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2796		default value of 5 is used.
2797
2798		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2799
2800		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2801
2802		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2803
2804		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2805		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2806		try longer timeout such as
2807		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2808
2809- Command Interpreter:
2810		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2811
2812		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2813
2814		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2815
2816		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2817		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2818		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2819
2820	Note:
2821
2822		In the current implementation, the local variables
2823		space and global environment variables space are
2824		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2825		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2826		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2827		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2828		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2829
2830		Global environment variables are those you use
2831		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2832		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2833		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2834
2835		To store commands and special characters in a
2836		variable, please use double quotation marks
2837		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2838		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2839		symbols.
2840
2841- Command Line Editing and History:
2842		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2843
2844		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2845		command line input operations
2846
2847- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2848		CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2849
2850		Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2851		at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2852		The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2853		and PS2.
2854
2855- Default Environment:
2856		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2857
2858		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2859		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2860		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2861
2862		For example, place something like this in your
2863		board's config file:
2864
2865		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2866			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2867			"myvar2=value2\0"
2868
2869		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2870		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2871		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2872		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2873		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2874		You better know what you are doing here.
2875
2876		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2877		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2878		the environment like the "source" command or the
2879		boot command first.
2880
2881		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2882
2883		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2884		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2885		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2886
2887		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2888
2889		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2890		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2891		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2892		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2893		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2894
2895		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2896
2897		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2898		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2899		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2900
2901		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2902
2903		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2904		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2905		that so that the environment is not available until
2906		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2907		this is instead controlled by the value of
2908		/config/load-environment.
2909
2910- Parallel Flash support:
2911		CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2912
2913		Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
2914		flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2915		flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2916		parallel flash.
2917
2918		If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2919		(e.g.  CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2920		selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2921		flash API (see include/flash.h).
2922
2923- DataFlash Support:
2924		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2925
2926		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2927		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2928		commands cp, md...
2929
2930- Serial Flash support
2931		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2932
2933		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2934		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2935
2936		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2937		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2938		commands.
2939
2940		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2941		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2942		flash is present on the system.
2943
2944		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2945		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2946		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2947		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2948
2949		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2950
2951		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2952		test ('sf test').
2953
2954		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
2955
2956		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2957		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2958		Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2959
2960- SystemACE Support:
2961		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2962
2963		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2964		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2965		of the chip must also be defined in the
2966		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2967
2968		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2969		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2970
2971		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2972		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2973
2974- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2975		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2976
2977		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2978		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2979		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2980		number generator is used.
2981
2982		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2983		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2984		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2985
2986		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2987		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2988		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2989		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2990		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2991		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2992		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2993
2994- Hashing support:
2995		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2996
2997		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2998		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2999
3000		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3001
3002		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3003		size a little.
3004
3005		CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3006		algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3007		CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3008		SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3009		CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3010		for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3011		This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3012		hash_lookup_algo() function.
3013		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3014		hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3015		Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3016		is performed in hardware.
3017
3018		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3019		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3020
3021- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3022		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3023		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3024		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3025
3026		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3027		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3028		a boot from specific media.
3029
3030		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3031		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3032		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3033		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
3034		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3035
3036- bootcount support:
3037		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3038
3039		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3040		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3041
3042		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3043		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3044		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3045		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3046		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3047		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3048		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3049		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3050		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3051		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3052			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3053			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3054						    the bootcounter.
3055			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3056
3057- Show boot progress:
3058		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3059
3060		Defining this option allows to add some board-
3061		specific code (calling a user-provided function
3062		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3063		the system's boot progress on some display (for
3064		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3065		the following checkpoints are implemented:
3066

3220
3221- legacy image format:
3222		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3223		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3224
3225		Default:
3226		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3227
3228		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3229		disable the legacy image format
3230
3231		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3232		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3233
3234- FIT image support:
3235		CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3236		Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3237		For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3238		with this option.
3239
3240		TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3241		and move it to Kconfig
3242
3243- Standalone program support:
3244		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3245
3246		This option defines a board specific value for the
3247		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3248		overwriting the architecture dependent default
3249		settings.
3250
3251- Frame Buffer Address:
3252		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3253
3254		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3255		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3256		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3257		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3258		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3259		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3260		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3261		configured panel size.
3262
3263		Please see board_init_f function.
3264
3265- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3266		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3267		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3268		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3269
3270		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3271		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3272
3273- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3274		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3275
3276		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3277		Needed for mtdparts command support.
3278
3279		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3280
3281		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3282		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3283
3284- UBI support
3285		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3286
3287		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3288		with the UBI flash translation layer
3289
3290		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3291
3292		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3293
3294		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3295		warnings and errors enabled.
3296
3297
3298		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3299		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3300		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3301		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3302		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3303		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3304
3305		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3306		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3307		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3308		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3309		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3310
3311		default: 4096
3312
3313		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3314		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3315		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3316		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3317		flash), this value is ignored.
3318
3319		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3320		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3321		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3322		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3323		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3324		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3325
3326		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3327		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3328		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3329		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3330		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3331		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3332		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3333		partition.
3334
3335		default: 20
3336
3337		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3338		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3339		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3340		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3341		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3342		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3343		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3344		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3345		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3346		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3347		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3348		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3349
3350		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3351		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3352		without a fastmap.
3353		default: 0
3354
3355		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3356		Enable UBI fastmap debug
3357		default: 0
3358
3359- UBIFS support
3360		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3361
3362		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3363		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3364
3365		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3366
3367		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3368
3369		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3370		warnings and errors enabled.
3371
3372- SPL framework
3373		CONFIG_SPL
3374		Enable building of SPL globally.
3375
3376		CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3377		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3378
3379		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3380		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3381		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3382		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3383		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3384		must not be both defined at the same time.
3385
3386		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3387		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3388		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3389		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3390		not exceed it.
3391
3392		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3393		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3394
3395		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3396		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3397		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3398
3399		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3400		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3401
3402		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3403		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3404		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3405		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3406		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3407		must not be both defined at the same time.
3408
3409		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3410		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3411
3412		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3413		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3414		loaded does not have a signature.
3415		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3416		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3417		will be caught.
3418		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3419		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3420		and thus should be skipped silently.
3421
3422		CONFIG_SPL_ABORT_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3423		When defined, SPL will proceed to another boot method
3424		if the image it has loaded does not have a signature.
3425
3426		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3427		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3428		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3429		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3430
3431		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3432		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3433		When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3434		it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3435		can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3436
3437		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3438		The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3439
3440		CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK

3463		used in raw mode
3464
3465		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3466		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being

3468
3469		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3470		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS

3488		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3489
3490		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3491		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3492		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3493		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3494		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3495
3496		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3497		Avoid SPL relocation
3498
3499		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3500		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires
3501		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3502
3503		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3504		SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3505

3514		Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3515		loader
3516
3517		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY

3519		if you need to save space.
3520
3521		CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3522		Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3523		SPL binary.
3524
3525		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,

3527		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3528		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3529		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3530		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3531		to read U-Boot
3532
3533		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3534		Add support NAND boot
3535
3536		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3537		Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3538
3539		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3540		Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3541
3542		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3543		Size of image to load
3544
3545		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3546		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3547
3548		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3549		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3550		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3551
3552		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3553		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3554		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3555
3556		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3557		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3558
3559		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3560		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3561		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3562		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3563		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3564		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3565
3566		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3567		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3568		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3569		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3570
3571		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3572		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3573		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3574		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3575		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3576
3577- TPL framework
3578		CONFIG_TPL
3579		Enable building of TPL globally.
3580
3581		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3582		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3583		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3584		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3585		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3586		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3587
3588- Interrupt support (PPC):
3589
3590		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3591		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3592		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3593		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3594		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3595		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3596		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3597		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3598		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3599		general timer_interrupt().
3600
3601
3602Board initialization settings:
3603------------------------------
3604
3605During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3606to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3607before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3608following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3609architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3610typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3611
3612- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3613- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3614- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3615- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3616
3617Configuration Settings:
3618-----------------------
3619
3620- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3621		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3622
3623- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3624		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3625
3626- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3627		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3628
3629- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3630		prompt for user input.
3631
3632- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3633
3634- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3635
3636- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3637
3638- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3639		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3640		booted
3641
3642- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3643		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3644
3645- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3646		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3647
3648- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3649		If the board specific function
3650			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3651		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3652		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3653
3654- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3655		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3656
3657- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3658		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3659
3660- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3661		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3662		simple memory test.
3663
3664- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3665		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3666
3667- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3668		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3669		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3670
3671- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3672		Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3673		If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3674		is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3675		This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3676		gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3677		the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3678		this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3679
3680- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3681		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3682		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3683		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3684		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3685		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3686		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3687		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3688		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3689		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3690
3691		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3692		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3693		be touched.
3694
3695		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3696		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3697		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3698		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3699		problems.
3700
3701- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3702		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3703
3704- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3705		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3706
3707- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3708		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3709
3710- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3711		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3712		make config files to be same as the text base address
3713		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3714		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3715
3716- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3717		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3718		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3719		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3720		flash sector.
3721
3722- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3723		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3724
3725- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3726		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3727		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3728		will become available before relocation. The address is just
3729		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3730		space.
3731
3732		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3733		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3734		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3735		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3736		U-Boot relocates itself.
3737
3738- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3739		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3740		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3741		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3742
3743- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3744		Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3745		typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3746		uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3747		otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3748		some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3749		cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3750		are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3751		cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3752		if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3753		size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3754		one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3755		written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3756		happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3757		buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3758		16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3759
3760		Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3761
3762- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3763		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3764		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3765		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3766		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3767
3768- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3769		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3770		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3771		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3772		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3773		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3774		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3775		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3776		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3777		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3778		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3779
3780- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3781		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3782		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3783		is enabled.
3784
3785- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3786		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3787		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3788
3789- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3790		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3791		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3792
3793- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3794		Max number of Flash memory banks
3795
3796- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3797		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3798
3799- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3800		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3801
3802- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3803		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3804
3805- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3806		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3807
3808- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3809		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3810
3811- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3812		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3813		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3814
3815- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3816
3817		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3818		without this option such a download has to be
3819		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3820		copy from RAM to flash.
3821
3822		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3823		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3824		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3825		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3826		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3827
3828- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3829		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3830		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3831
3832- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3833		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3834		in the drivers directory
3835
3836- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3837		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3838		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3839		to the MTD layer.
3840
3841- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3842		Use buffered writes to flash.
3843
3844- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3845		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3846		write commands.
3847
3848- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3849		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3850		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3851		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3852		optionally available.
3853
3854- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3855		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3856		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3857		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3858
3859- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3860		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3861		against the source after the write operation. An error message
3862		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3863		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3864		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3865		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3866		this option if you really know what you are doing.
3867
3868- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3869		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3870		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3871		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3872		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3873		on high Ethernet traffic.
3874		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3875
3876- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3877
3878	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3879	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3880	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3881	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3882	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3883
3884- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3885- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3886	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3887	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3888	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3889	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3890
3891	The format of the list is:
3892		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3893		access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3894		attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3895		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3896		list = entry[,list]
3897
3898	The type attributes are:
3899		s - String (default)
3900		d - Decimal
3901		x - Hexadecimal
3902		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3903		i - IP address
3904		m - MAC address
3905
3906	The access attributes are:
3907		a - Any (default)
3908		r - Read-only
3909		o - Write-once
3910		c - Change-default
3911
3912	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3913		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3914		environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3915
3916	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3917		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3918		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3919		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
3920		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3921		".flags" variable.
3922
3923	If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3924	regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3925	flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3926
3927- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3928	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3929	access flags.
3930
3931- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
3932	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
3933	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
3934	the value can be calculated on a given board.
3935
3936- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3937	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3938	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3939	building U-Boot to enable this.
3940
3941The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3942of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3943following configurations:
3944
3945- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3946
3947	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3948	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3949
3950- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3951
3952	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3953
3954	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3955	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3956	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3957	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3958	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3959	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3960	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3961	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3962	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3963	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3964	   between U-Boot and the environment.
3965
3966	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3967
3968	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3969	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3970	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3971	   for this sector is given here.
3972
3973	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3974
3975	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3976
3977	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
3978	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3979	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3980
3981	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3982
3983	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
3984
3985
3986	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3987	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3988	   the environment.
3989
3990	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3991
3992	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3993	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3994	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3995	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3996
3997	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3998	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3999	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4000	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4001	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4002	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
4003	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4004	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4005	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
4006
4007	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4008	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4009
4010	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4011	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4012	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4013	   a "saveenv" operation.
4014
4015BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4016source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4017accordingly!
4018
4019
4020- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4021
4022	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4023	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4024	environment.
4025
4026	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4027	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4028
4029	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4030	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4031	  can just be read and written to, without any special
4032	  provision.
4033
4034BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4035in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4036console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4037U-Boot will hang.
4038
4039Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4040environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4041keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4042to save the current settings.
4043
4044
4045- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4046
4047	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4048	device and a driver for it.
4049
4050	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4051	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4052
4053	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4054	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4055
4056	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4057	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4058	  The default address is zero.
4059
4060	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4061	  If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4062
4063	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4064	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4065	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
4066	  would require six bits.
4067
4068	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4069	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4070	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
4071
4072	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4073	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
4074	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
4075
4076	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4077	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4078	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4079	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4080	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4081	  byte chips.
4082
4083	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4084	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4085	  in the chip address.
4086
4087	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4088	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4089
4090	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4091	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4092	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4093
4094	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4095	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4096	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4097	  EEPROM. For example:
4098
4099	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
4100
4101	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4102	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4103
4104- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4105
4106	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4107	want to use for the environment.
4108
4109	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4110	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4111	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4112
4113	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4114	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4115	  at the specified address.
4116
4117- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4118
4119	Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4120	want to use for the environment.
4121
4122	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4123	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4124
4125	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4126	  environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4127	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4128
4129	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4130
4131	  Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4132
4133	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4134
4135	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4136	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4137	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4138	  during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4139	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4140
4141	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4142	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4143
4144	  Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4145
4146	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4147
4148	  Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4149
4150	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4151
4152	  Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4153
4154- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4155
4156	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4157	want to use for the local device's environment.
4158
4159	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4160	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4161
4162	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4163	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
4164	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
4165	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4166
4167BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4168"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4169environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4170but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4171
4172- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4173
4174	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4175	for the environment.
4176
4177	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4178	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4179
4180	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4181	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4182	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4183
4184	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4185
4186	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4187	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4188	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4189	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
4190	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4191
4192	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4193
4194	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4195	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4196	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4197	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4198	  the range to be avoided.
4199
4200	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4201
4202	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4203	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
4204	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4205	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4206	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4207
4208- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4209
4210	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4211	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4212	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4213
4214- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4215
4216	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4217	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4218	accesses, which is important on NAND.
4219
4220	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4221
4222	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4223
4224	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4225
4226	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4227	  environment in.
4228
4229	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4230
4231	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4232	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4233	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4234
4235	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4236	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4237
4238	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4239	  when storing the env in UBI.
4240
4241- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4242       Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4243
4244       - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4245
4246         Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4247
4248       - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4249
4250         Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4251         be as following:
4252
4253           "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4254               - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4255                        partition table.
4256               - "D:0": device D.
4257               - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4258                              table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4259                              table.
4260               - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4261                           If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4262                           partition table then means device D.
4263
4264       - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4265
4266         It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4267         environment.
4268
4269       - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4270         This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4271
4272- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4273
4274	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4275	environment.
4276
4277	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4278
4279	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4280
4281	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4282
4283	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4284	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4285	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4286
4287	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4288	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4289
4290	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4291	  area within the specified MMC device.
4292
4293	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4294	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4295	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4296	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4297	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4298	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4299	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4300
4301	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4302	  MMC sector boundary.
4303
4304	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4305
4306	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4307	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4308	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4309	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4310
4311	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4312	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4313
4314	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4315	  an MMC sector boundary.
4316
4317	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4318
4319	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4320	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4321	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4322
4323- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4324
4325	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4326	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4327	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4328	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4329	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4330	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4331	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4332
4333Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4334has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4335created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4336until then to read environment variables.
4337
4338The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4339is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4340with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4341necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4342"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4343have any device yet where we could complain.]
4344
4345Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4346the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4347use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4348
4349- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4350		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4351
4352		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4353		      also needs to be defined.
4354
4355- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4356		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4357
4358- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4359		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4360		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4361		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4362		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4363		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4364
4365- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4366		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4367		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4368		to do this.
4369
4370- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4371		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4372		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4373		present.
4374
4375- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4376		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4377		build system checks that the actual size does not
4378		exceed it.
4379
4380Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4381---------------------------------------------------
4382
4383- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4384		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4385
4386- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4387		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4388
4389		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4390		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4391		the IMMR register after a reset.
4392
4393- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4394		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4395		PowerPC SOCs.
4396
4397- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4398		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4399		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4400
4401		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4402		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4403
4404- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4405		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4406		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4407		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4408		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4409		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4410		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4411
4412		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4413			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4414
4415- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4416		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4417		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4418		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4419		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4420
4421- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4422		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4423		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4424		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4425
4426- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4427		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4428		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4429
4430- Floppy Disk Support:
4431		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4432
4433		the default drive number (default value 0)
4434
4435		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4436
4437		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4438		(default value 1)
4439
4440		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4441
4442		defines the offset of register from address. It
4443		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4444		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4445
4446		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4447		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4448		default value.
4449
4450		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4451		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4452		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4453		source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4454		initializations.
4455
4456- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4457		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4458		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4459		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4460		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4461		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4462		is required.
4463
4464- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4465		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4466		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4467
4468- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4469
4470		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4471		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4472		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4473		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4474		will become available only after programming the
4475		memory controller and running certain initialization
4476		sequences.
4477
4478		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4479		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4480		- MPC824X: data cache
4481		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4482
4483- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4484
4485		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4486		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4487		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4488		data is located at the end of the available space
4489		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4490		GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4491		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4492		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4493
4494	Note:
4495		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4496		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4497		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4498		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4499		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4547		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4548
4549- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4550		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4551		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4552		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
4553		cpm_8260.h.
4554
4555- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,

4562  CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
4563		Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4564
4565- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4566		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4567		required.
4568
4569- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4570		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4571		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4572		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4573		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4574		by coreboot or similar.
4575
4576- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4577		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4578
4579- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
4580		Chip has SRIO or not
4581

4597- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4598		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4599
4600- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4601		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4602		a 16 bit bus.
4603		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4604		Example of drivers that use it:
4605		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4606		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4607
4608- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4609		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4610		a default value will be used.
4611
4612- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4613		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4614		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4615
4616  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4617		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4618
4619- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4620		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4621		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4622		to something your driver can deal with.
4623
4624- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4625		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4626		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4627		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4628		header files or board specific files.
4629
4630- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4631		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4632
4633- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4634		Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4635
4636- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4637		Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4638
4639- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4640		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4641		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4642
4643- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4644		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4645
4646- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4647		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4648		to the given FEC; i. e.
4649			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4650		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4651
4652		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4653
4654- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4655		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4656		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4657
4658- CONFIG_RMII
4659		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4660		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4661		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4662
4663- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4664		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4665		The syntax is:
4666
4667		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4668
4669		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4670		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4671		area should have.
4672
4673- CONFIG_LOOPW
4674		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4675		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4676
4677- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4678		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4679		"md/mw" commands.
4680		Examples:
4681
4682		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4683		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4684
4685		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4686		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4687
4688		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4689		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4690
4691- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4692		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4693		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4694		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4695		relocate itself into RAM.
4696
4697		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4698		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4699		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4700		these initializations itself.
4701
4702- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4703		[ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4704		to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4705		instruction cache) is still performed.
4706
4707- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4708		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4709		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4710		compiling a NAND SPL.
4711
4712- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4713		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4714		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4715		It is loaded by the SPL.
4716
4717- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4718		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4719		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4720		previous 4k of the .text section.
4721
4722- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4723		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4724		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4725		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4726		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4727		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4728		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4729		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4730
4731- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4732  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4733		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4734		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4735		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4736
4737- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4738		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4739		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4740
4741- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4742		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4743
4744		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4745
4746- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4747		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4748
4749- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4750		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4751		driver that uses this:
4752		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4753
4754Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4755-----------------------------------
4756
4757The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4758loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4759This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4760are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4761within that device.
4762
4763- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4764	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
4765	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4766	is also specified.
4767
4768- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4769	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
4770	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4771	is also specified.
4772
4773- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4774	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4775	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4776	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4777	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4778
4779- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4780	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4781	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4782	virtual address in NOR flash.
4783
4784- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4785	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4786	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4787
4788- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4789	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4790	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4791
4792- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4793	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4794	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4795	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4796	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4797	master's memory space.
4798
4799Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4800---------------------------------------------------------
4801The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4802"firmware".
4803This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4804are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4805within that device.
4806
4807- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4808	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4809
4810Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4811-------------------------------------------
4812The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4813"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4814This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4815
4816- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4817	Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4818
4819Reproducible builds
4820-------------------
4821
4822In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4823process have to be set to a fixed value.
4824
4825This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4826SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4827option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4828
4829SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4830
4831Building the Software:
4832======================
4833
4834Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4835and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4836all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4837(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4838recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4839which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4840
4841If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4842have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4843you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4844Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4845necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4846
4847	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4848	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
4849
4850Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4851      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4852      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4853      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
4854
4855       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4856
4857      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4858      be executed on computers running Windows.
4859
4860U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4861sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4862is done by typing:
4863
4864	make NAME_defconfig
4865
4866where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4867rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4868
4869Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4870      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4871      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4872      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4873      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4874
4875      make TQM823L_defconfig
4876	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4877
4878      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4879	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4880
4881      etc.
4882
4883
4884Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4885images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4886
4887- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4888- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4889- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4890
4891By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4892in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4893this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4894
48951. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4896
4897	make O=/tmp/build distclean
4898	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4899	make O=/tmp/build all
4900
49012. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4902
4903	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4904	make distclean
4905	make NAME_defconfig
4906	make all
4907
4908Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4909variable.
4910
4911
4912Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4913for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4914native "make".
4915
4916
4917If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4918to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4919steps:
4920
49211.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4922    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4923    the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
49242.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4925    your board.
49263.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4927    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
49284.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
49295.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4930    to be installed on your target system.
49316.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4932    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4933
4934
4935Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4936==============================================================
4937
4938If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4939or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4940provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4941the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4942official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4943
4944But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4945cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4946the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4947just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4948configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4949will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4950for documentation.

5005Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
5006========================================
5007
5008TODO.
5009
5010For now: just type "help <command>".
5011
5012
5013Environment Variables:
5014======================
5015
5016U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5017can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5018
5019Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5020"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5021without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5022environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5023working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5024environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5025
5026Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5027
5028List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5029
5030  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5031
5032  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5033
5034  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5035
5036  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5037
5038  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
5039
5040  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5041		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5042		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5043		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5044		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5045		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5046		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5047		  bootm_mapsize.
5048
5049  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5050		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5051		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5052		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5053		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5054		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5055		  used otherwise.
5056
5057  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5058		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5059		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5060		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5061		  environment variable.
5062
5063  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5064		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5065		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5066
5067  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5068		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5069		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5070		  load any image using TFTP
5071
5072  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5073		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5074		  be automatically started (by internally calling
5075		  "bootm")
5076
5077		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5078		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5079		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5080		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5081		  data.
5082
5083  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5084		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5085		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5086		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5087		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5088		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5089		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5090		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5091		  access it during the boot procedure.
5092
5093		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5094		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
5095		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5096		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5097		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5098		  must be accessible by the kernel.
5099
5100  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5101		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5102		  defined.
5103
5104  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5105		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5106		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5107		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5108		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
5109
5110  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
5111		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5112		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5113		  is usually what you want since it allows for
5114		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5115		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5116		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5117		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5118		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5119		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5120		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5121
5122		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5123		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5124		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5125		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5126		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5127		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
5128
5129		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5130
5131		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5132		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5133		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5134		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5135		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5136		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
5137		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5138
5139  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5140
5141  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5142		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5143
5144  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5145
5146  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5147
5148  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5149
5150  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5151
5152  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5153
5154  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
5155
5156  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
5157		  For example you can do the following
5158
5159		  => setenv ethact FEC
5160		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5161		  => setenv ethact SCC
5162		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5163
5164  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5165		  available network interfaces.
5166		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5167
5168  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
5169		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
5170		  When set to "once" the network operation will
5171		  fail when all the available network interfaces
5172		  are tried once without success.
5173		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5174		  themselves.
5175
5176  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
5177
5178  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5179		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5180		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5181		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5182		  is silent.
5183
5184  tftpsrcp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5185		  UDP source port.
5186
5187  tftpdstp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5188		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5189
5190  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5191		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
5192
5193  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5194		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5195		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5196		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5197		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5198		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5199		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
5200
5201  tftptimeoutcountmax	- maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5202		  unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5203		  can happen during a single file transfer before that
5204		  transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5205		  'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5206		  downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5207		  unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5208
5209  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5210		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5211		  VLAN tagged frames.
5212
5213  bootpretryperiod	- Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
5214		  Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5215		  be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5216		  CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5217		  precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
5218
5219The following image location variables contain the location of images
5220used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5221not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5222variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5223server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5224loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5225flash or offset in NAND flash.
5226
5227*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5228boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5229boards use these variables for other purposes.
5230
5231Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
5232-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
5233u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
5234Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
5235device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
5236ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
5237
5238The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5239updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5240depending the information provided by your boot server:
5241
5242  bootfile	- see above
5243  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
5244  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5245  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5246  hostname	- Target hostname
5247  ipaddr	- see above
5248  netmask	- Subnet Mask
5249  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5250  serverip	- see above
5251
5252
5253There are two special Environment Variables:
5254
5255  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
5256		  as type string and/or serial number
5257  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
5258
5259These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5260the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5261once they have been set once.
5262
5263
5264Further special Environment Variables:
5265
5266  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5267		  with the "version" command. This variable is
5268		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5269
5270
5271Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5272only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5273
5274
5275Callback functions for environment variables:
5276---------------------------------------------
5277
5278For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5279when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
5280be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
5281deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5282effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5283
5284The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5285U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5286
5287These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
5288static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5289in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5290associations.  The list must be in the following format:
5291
5292	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5293	list = entry[,list]
5294
5295If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5296Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5297
5298Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5299with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5300override any association in the static list. You can define
5301CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5302".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5303
5304If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5305regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5306the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5307
5308
5309Command Line Parsing:
5310=====================
5311
5312There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5313the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5314
5315Old, simple command line parser:
5316--------------------------------
5317
5318- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5319- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5320- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5321- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5322  for example:
5323	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5324- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5325	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5326
5327Hush shell:
5328-----------
5329
5330- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5331  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5332  until...do...done, ...
5333- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5334  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5335  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5336  command
5337
5338General rules:
5339--------------
5340
5341(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5342    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5343    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5344    executed anyway.
5345
5346(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5347    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5348    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5349    variables are not executed.
5350
5351Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5352=======================================
5353
5354Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5355such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5356"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5357
5358Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5359MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5360"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5361
5362If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5363in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5364ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5365variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5366
5367o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5368  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5369
5370o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5371  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5372  used.
5373
5374o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5375  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5376
5377o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5378  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5379  warning is printed.
5380
5381o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5382  is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5383  a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5384
5385If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5386will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5387may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5388The naming convention is as follows:
5389"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5390
5391Image Formats:
5392==============
5393
5394U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5395images in two formats:
5396
5397New uImage format (FIT)
5398-----------------------
5399
5400Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5401to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5402components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5403SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5404
5405
5406Old uImage format
5407-----------------
5408
5409Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5410preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5411details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5412
5413* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5414  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5415  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5416  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5417  INTEGRITY).
5418* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5419  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5420  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5421* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5422* Load Address
5423* Entry Point
5424* Image Name
5425* Image Timestamp
5426
5427The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5428and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5429CRC32 checksums.
5430
5431
5432Linux Support:
5433==============
5434
5435Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5436easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5437U-Boot.
5438
5439U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5440special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5441"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5442instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5443serves several purposes:
5444
5445- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5446  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5447  Flash memory footprint)
5448
5449- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5450  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5451
5452- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5453  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5454  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5455  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5456  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5457  software is easier now.
5458
5459
5460Linux HOWTO:
5461============
5462
5463Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5464---------------------------------------
5465
5466U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5467configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5468(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5469Linux :-).
5470
5471But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5472
5473Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5474include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5475Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5476and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5477as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5478
5479Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5480If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5481is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5482doc/driver-model.
5483
5484
5485Configuring the Linux kernel:
5486-----------------------------
5487
5488No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5489device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5490
5491
5492Building a Linux Image:
5493-----------------------
5494
5495With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5496not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5497"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5498U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5499which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5500100% compatible format.
5501
5502Example:
5503
5504	make TQM850L_defconfig
5505	make oldconfig
5506	make dep
5507	make uImage
5508
5509The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5510encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5511CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5512
5513* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5514
5515* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5516
5517	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5518				 -R .note -R .comment \
5519				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5520
5521* compress the binary image:
5522
5523	gzip -9 linux.bin
5524
5525* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5526
5527	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5528		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5529		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5530
5531
5532The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5533with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5534combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5535byte header containing information about target architecture,
5536operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5537stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5538
5539"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5540print the header information, or to build new images.
5541
5542In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5543contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5544checksum verification:
5545
5546	tools/mkimage -l image
5547	  -l ==> list image header information
5548
5549The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5550from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5551
5552	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5553		      -n name -d data_file image
5554	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5555	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5556	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5557	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5558	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5559	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5560	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5561	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5562
5563Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5564address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5565kernel version:
5566
5567- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5568- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5569
5570So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5571
5572	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5573	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5574	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5575	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5576	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5577	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5578	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5579	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5580	Load Address: 0x00000000
5581	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5582
5583To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5584
5585	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5586	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5587	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5588	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5589	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5590	Load Address: 0x00000000
5591	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5592
5593NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5594speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5595needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5596need to be uncompressed:
5597
5598	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5599	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5600	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5601	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5602	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5603	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5604	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5605	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5606	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5607	Load Address: 0x00000000
5608	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5609
5610
5611Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5612when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5613
5614	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5615	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5616	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5617	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5618	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5619	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5620	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5621	Load Address: 0x00000000
5622	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5623
5624The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5625option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5626option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5627from the image:
5628
5629	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5630	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5631	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5632	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5633
5634
5635Installing a Linux Image:
5636-------------------------
5637
5638To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5639you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5640
5641	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5642
5643The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5644image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5645address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5646specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5647command.
5648
5649Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5650TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5651
5652	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5653
5654	.......... done
5655	Erased 8 sectors
5656
5657	=> loads 40100000
5658	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5659	~>examples/image.srec
5660	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5661	...
5662	15989 15990 15991 15992
5663	[file transfer complete]
5664	[connected]
5665	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5666
5667
5668You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5669this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5670corruption happened:
5671
5672	=> imi 40100000
5673
5674	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5675	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L

5679	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
5680	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
5681
5682
5683Boot Linux:
5684-----------
5685
5686The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5687memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5688of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5689parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5690"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5691
5692
5693	=> printenv bootargs
5694	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5695
5696	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5697
5698	=> printenv bootargs
5699	bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5700

5717If you want to boot a Linux kernel with initial RAM disk, you pass
5718the memory addresses of both the kernel and the initrd image (PPBCOOT

5815More About U-Boot Image Types:
5816------------------------------
5817
5818U-Boot supports the following image types:
5819
5820   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5821	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5822	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5823	the Standalone Program.
5824   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5825	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5826	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5827	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5828	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5829   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5830	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5831	being started.
5832   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5833	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5834	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5835	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5836	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5837	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5838
5839	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5840	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5841	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5842	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5843	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5844	a multiple of 4 bytes).
5845
5846   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5847	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5848	flash memory.
5849
5850   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5851	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5852	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5853	as command interpreter.
5854
5855Booting the Linux zImage:
5856-------------------------
5857
5858On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5859using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5860as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5861
5862Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5863kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5864address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5865format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5866
5867
5868Standalone HOWTO:
5869=================
5870
5871One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5872run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5873U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5874
5875Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5876
5877"Hello World" Demo:
5878-------------------
5879
5880'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5881application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5882It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5883like that:
5884
5885	=> loads
5886	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5887	~>examples/hello_world.srec
5888	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5889	[file transfer complete]
5890	[connected]
5891	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5892
5893	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5894	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5895	Hello World
5896	argc = 7
5897	argv[0] = "40004"
5898	argv[1] = "Hello"
5899	argv[2] = "World!"
5900	argv[3] = "This"
5901	argv[4] = "is"
5902	argv[5] = "a"
5903	argv[6] = "test."
5904	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5905	Hit any key to exit ...
5906
5907	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5908
5909Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5910handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5911Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5912The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5913character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5914controlled by the following keys:
5915
5916	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5917	b - enable interrupts and start timer
5918	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5919	q - quit application
5920
5921	=> loads
5922	## Ready for S-Record download ...

5956Minicom warning:
5957================
5958
5959Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5960"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5961consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5962Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5963especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5964use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
5965http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5966for help with kermit.
5967
5968
5969Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5970configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5971
5972	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5973	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

5976
5977NetBSD Notes:
5978=============
5979
5980Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5981(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5982
5983Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5984NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5985need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5986Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5987attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5988missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5989
5990	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5991	# mkdir powerpc
5992	# ln -s powerpc machine
5993	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5994	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5995
5996Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5997and U-Boot include files.
5998
5999Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6000stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6001proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6002tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6003meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6004
6005
6006Implementation Internals:
6007=========================
6008
6009The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6010implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6011inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6012hardware.
6013
6014
6015Initial Stack, Global Data:
6016---------------------------
6017
6018The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6019starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6020system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6021This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6022is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6023at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6024options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6025models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6026MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6027locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6028
6029	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6030	U-Boot mailing list:
6031
6032	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6033	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6034	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6035	...
6036
6037	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6038	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6039	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6040	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6041	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6042	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6043	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6044	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6045
6046	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6047	is another option for the system designer to use as an
6048	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6049	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6050	board designers haven't used it for something that would
6051	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6052	used.
6053
6054	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6055	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6056	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6057	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6058	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6059	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6060	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6061	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6062	you get the config right.

6066
6067It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6068code for the initialization procedures:
6069
6070* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6071  to write it.
6072
6073* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6074  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6075  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6076
6077* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6078  that.
6079
6080Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6081normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6082turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6083simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6084functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6085functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6086the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6087place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6088reserve for this purpose.
6089
6090When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6091relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
6092GCC's implementation.
6093
6094For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6095	R1:	stack pointer
6096	R2:	reserved for system use
6097	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
6098	R5-R10: parameter passing
6099	R13:	small data area pointer
6100	R30:	GOT pointer
6101	R31:	frame pointer
6102
6103	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6104	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6105	going back and forth between asm and C)
6106
6107    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6108
6109    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6110    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6111    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6112    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6113    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6114    624 text + 127 data).
6115
6116On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6117	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6118
6119    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6120
6121On ARM, the following registers are used:
6122
6123	R0:	function argument word/integer result
6124	R1-R3:	function argument word
6125	R9:	platform specific
6126	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6127	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
6128	R12:	temporary workspace
6129	R13:	stack pointer
6130	R14:	link register
6131	R15:	program counter
6132
6133    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6134
6135    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6136
6137On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6138	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6139
6140    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6141
6142    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6143    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6144
6145On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6146
6147	R0-R1:	argument/return
6148	R2-R5:	argument
6149	R15:	temporary register for assembler
6150	R16:	trampoline register
6151	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
6152	R29:	global pointer (GP)
6153	R30:	link register (LP)
6154	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
6155	PC:	program counter (PC)
6156
6157    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6158
6159NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6160or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6161
6162Memory Management:
6163------------------
6164
6165U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6166MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6167
6168The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6169controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6170memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6171physical memory banks.
6172
6173U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6174TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6175booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6176to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6177memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6178configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6179Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6180
6181Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6182of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6183
6184So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6185this:
6186
6187	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
6188	      :
6189	0x0000 1FFF
6190	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
6191	      :
6192	      :
6193
6194	      :
6195	      :
6196	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6197	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6198	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
6199	      :
6200	0x00FD FFFF
6201	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6202	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6203	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6204	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
6205
6206
6207System Initialization:
6208----------------------
6209
6210In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6211(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6212configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6213To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6214To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6215initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6216which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6217part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6218the caches and the SIU.
6219
6220Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6221preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6222(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6223on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6224programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6225simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6226banks.
6227
6228When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6229different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6230bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
62310x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6232contiguous memory starting from 0.
6233
6234Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6235and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6236Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6237pages, and the final stack is set up.
6238
6239Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6240until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6241running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6242new address in RAM.

6319Coding Standards:
6320-----------------
6321
6322All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6323coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6324"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6325
6326Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6327MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6328reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6329sources.
6330
6331Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6332Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6333in your code.
6334
6335Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6336- remove any trailing white space
6337- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6338- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6339- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6340- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6341
6342Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6343with a request to reformat the changes.
6344
6345
6346Submitting Patches:
6347-------------------
6348
6349Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6350establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6351may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6352
6353Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6354
6355Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6356see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6357
6358When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6359it:
6360
6361* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6362  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6363  patch actually fixes something.
6364
6365* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6366  implementation.
6367
6368* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6369
6370* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6371  information and associated file and directory references.
6372
6373* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6374  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6375
6376* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6377  document these in the README file.
6378
6379* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6380  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6381  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6382  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6383  with some other mail clients.
6384
6385  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6386  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6387  GNU diff.
6388
6389  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6390  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6391  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6392  affected files).
6393
6394  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6395  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6396
6397* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6398  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6399
6400* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6401  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6402
6403
6404Notes:
6405
6406* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6407  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6408  for any of the boards.
6409
6410* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6411  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6412  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6413
6414* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6415  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6416  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6417  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6418  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6419  modification.
6420
6421* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6422  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6423  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6424  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
