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
46	make CHANGELOG

169
170Software Configuration:
171=======================
172
173Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
174rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
175
176There are two classes of configuration variables:
177
178* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
179  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
180  "CONFIG_".
181
182* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
183  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
184  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
185  "CONFIG_SYS_".
186
187Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
188symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
189U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
190allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
191build.
192
193
194Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
195---------------------------------------------------
196
197For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
198configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
199
200Example: For a TQM823L module type:
201
202	cd u-boot
203	make TQM823L_defconfig
204
205Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
206you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
207doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
208
209Sandbox Environment:
210--------------------
211
212U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
213board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
214specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
215run some of U-Boot's tests.
216
217See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
218
219
220Board Initialisation Flow:
221--------------------------
222
223This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
224SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
225
226Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
227more detail later in this file.
228
229At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
230and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
231may not conform to this.  At least most ARM boards which use
232CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
233
234Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
235CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
236
237	- arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
238	- arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
239	- arch/mips/cpu/start.S
240
241and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
242limitations of each of these functions are described below.
243
244lowlevel_init():
245	- purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
246	- no global_data or BSS
247	- there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
248	- must not set up SDRAM or use console
249	- must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
250		board_init_f()
251	- this is almost never needed
252	- return normally from this function
253
254board_init_f():
255	- purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
256		i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
257	- global_data is available
258	- stack is in SRAM
259	- BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
260		only stack variables and global_data
261
262	Non-SPL-specific notes:
263	- dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
264		can do nothing
265
266	SPL-specific notes:
267	- you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
268		version as needed.
269	- preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
270	- should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
271	- these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
272	- must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
273		directly)
274
275Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
276this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
277CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
278memory.
279
280board_init_r():
281	- purpose: main execution, common code
282	- global_data is available
283	- SDRAM is available
284	- BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
285	- execution eventually continues to main_loop()
286
287	Non-SPL-specific notes:
288	- U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
289		there.
290
291	SPL-specific notes:
292	- stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
293		CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
294	- preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
295		done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
296		spl_board_init() function containing this call
297	- loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
298

301Configuration Options:
302----------------------
303
304Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
305such information is kept in a configuration file
306"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
307
308Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
309"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
310
311
312Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
313kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
314build a config tool - later.
315
316
317The following options need to be configured:
318
319- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
320
321- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
322
323- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
324		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
325
326- Marvell Family Member
327		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
328					  multiple fs option at one time
329					  for marvell soc family
330
331- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
332		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
333					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
334					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
335					  reference PIT/RTC clock
336		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
337					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
338
339- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
340		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
341		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
342		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
343			See doc/README.MPC866
344
345		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
346
347		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
348		of relying on the correctness of the configured
349		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
350		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
351		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
352		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
353
354		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
355
356		Define this option if you want to enable the
357		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
358
359- 85xx CPU Options:
360		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
361
362		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
363		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
364		compliance, among other possible reasons.
365
366		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
367
368		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
369		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
370		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
371
372		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
373
374		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
375		tree nodes for the given platform.
376
377		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
378
379		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
380		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
381		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
382
383		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
384		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
385
386		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
387		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
388
389		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
390		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
391		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
392		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
393
394		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
395		this erratum.
396
397		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
398		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
399		required during NOR boot.
400
401		CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
402		Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
403		required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
404
405		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
406
407		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
408		according to the A004510 workaround.
409
410		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
411		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
412		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
413
414		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
415		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
416		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
417
418		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
419		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
420		connected to the DSP core.
421
422		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
423		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
424
425		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
426		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
427		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
428		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
429
430		CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
431		This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
432		time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
433
434		CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
435		Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
436		supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
437
438- Generic CPU options:
439		CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
440		Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
441		If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
442		generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
443		should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
444
445		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
446
447		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
448		values is arch specific.
449
450		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR

558		Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
559		pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
560		relocation.
561
562		CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
563
564		Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
565		See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
566		Possible values are:
567			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
568			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
569			CONF_CM_UNCACHED
570			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT
571			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE
572			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
573			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
574			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
575
576		CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
577
578		Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
579		See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
580
581		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
582
583		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
584		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
585		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
586
587- ARM options:
588		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
589
590		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
591		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
592
593		COUNTER_FREQUENCY
594		Generic timer clock source frequency.
595
596		COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
597		Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
598		different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
599		at run time.
600
601- Tegra SoC options:
602		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
603
604		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
605		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
606		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
607
608- Linux Kernel Interface:
609		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
610
611		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
612		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
613		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
614		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
615		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
616		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
617		Linux kernel.
618		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
619		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
620		default environment.
621
622		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
623
624		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
625		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
626		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
627
628		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
629
630		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
631		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
632		concepts).
633
634		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
635		 * New libfdt-based support
636		 * Adds the "fdt" command
637		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
638
639		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
640			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
641		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
642			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
643		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
644		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
645
646		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
647		addresses
648
649		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
650
651		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
652		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
653
654		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
655
656		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
657		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
658		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
659		the kernel.
660
661		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
662
663		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
664		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
665		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
666		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
667		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
668		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
669
670		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
671
672		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
673		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
674		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
675		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
676		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
677		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
678		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
679
680- vxWorks boot parameters:
681
682		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
683		environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
684		serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
685		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
686
687		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
688		the defaults discussed just above.
689
690- Cache Configuration:
691		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
692		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
693		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
694
695- Cache Configuration for ARM:
696		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
697				      controller
698		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
699					controller register space
700
701- Serial Ports:
702		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
703
704		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
705
706		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
707
708		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
709
710		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
711
712		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
713		the clock speed of the UARTs.
714
715		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
716
717		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
718		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
719		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
720
721		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
722
723		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
724		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
725
726- Console Interface:
727		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
728		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
729		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
730		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
731
732		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
733		port routines must be defined elsewhere
734		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
735
736- Console Baudrate:
737		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
738		Select one of the baudrates listed in
739		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
740		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
741
742- Console Rx buffer length
743		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
744		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
745		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
746		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
747		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
748		the SMC.
749
750- Autoboot Command:
751		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
752		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
753		define a command string that is automatically executed
754		when no character is read on the console interface
755		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
756
757		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
758		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
759		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
760		environment value "bootargs".
761
762		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
763		The value of these goes into the environment as
764		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
765		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
766		RAM and NFS.
767
768- Bootcount:
769		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
770		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
771		cycle, see:
772		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
773
774		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
775		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
776		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
777		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
778		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
779		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
780		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
781		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
782		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
783
784- Pre-Boot Commands:
785		CONFIG_PREBOOT
786
787		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
788		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
789		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
790		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
791		entering interactive mode.
792
793		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
794		automatically generated or modified. For an example
795		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
796		modified when the user holds down a certain
797		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
798		booting the systems
799
800- Serial Download Echo Mode:
801		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
802		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
803		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
804		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
805		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
806		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
807		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
808
809- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
810		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
811		Select one of the baudrates listed in
812		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
813
814- Monitor Functions:
815		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
816		from the build by using the #include files
817		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
818		commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
819
820		The default command configuration includes all commands
821		except those marked below with a "*".

907		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
908		support you can write:
909
910		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
911		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
912
913	Other Commands:
914		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
915
916	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
917		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
918		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
919		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
920		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
921		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
922		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
923		initial stack and some data.
924
925
926		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
927
928- Removal of commands
929		If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
930		CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
931		will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
932		boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
933		instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
934		simple boot procedures.
935
936- Regular expression support:
937		CONFIG_REGEX
938		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
939		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
940		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
941		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
942
943- Device tree:
944		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
945		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
946		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
947		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
948		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
949		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
950
951		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
952		be done using one of the three options below:
953
954		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
955		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
956		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
957		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
958		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
959		the global data structure as gd->blob.
960
961		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
962		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
963		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
964		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
965
966			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
967
968		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
969		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
970		still use the individual files if you need something more
971		exotic.
972
973		CONFIG_OF_BOARD
974		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
975		provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
976		the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
977		this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
978
979- Watchdog:
980		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
981		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
982		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
983		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
984		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
985		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
986		available, then no further board specific code should
987		be needed to use it.
988
989		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
990		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
991		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
992		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
993
994		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
995		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
996
997- U-Boot Version:
998		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
999		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1000		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1001		version as printed by the "version" command.
1002		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1003		next reset.
1004
1005- Real-Time Clock:
1006
1007		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1008		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1009		following options:
1010
1011		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1012		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1013		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1014		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1015		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1016		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1017		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1018		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1019		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1020		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1021		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1022		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1023		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1024					  RV3029 RTC.
1025
1026		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1027		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1028
1029- GPIO Support:
1030		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1031
1032		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1033		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1034		pins supported by a particular chip.
1035
1036		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1037		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1038
1039- I/O tracing:
1040		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1041		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1042		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1043		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1044		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1045		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1046		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1047		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1048
1049		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1050		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1051		still continue to operate.
1052
1053			iotrace is enabled
1054			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1055			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1056			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)

1319- USB Device:
1320		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1321		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1322		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1323		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1324		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1325		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1326		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1327		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1328		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1329		a Linux host by
1330		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1331		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1332		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1333		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1334
1335			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1336			Define this to build a UDC device
1337
1338			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1339			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1340			talk to the UDC device
1341
1342			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1343			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1344			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1345			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1346			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1347			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1348			speed.
1349
1350			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1351			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1352			be set to usbtty.
1353
1354			mpc8xx:
1355				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH
1356				Derive USB clock from external clock "blah"
1357				- CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02
1358
1359		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1360		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1361		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1362		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1363		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1364		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1365
1366			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1367			Define this string as the name of your company for
1368			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"

1375			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1376			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1377			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1378			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1379
1380			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1381			Define this as the unique Product ID
1382			for your device
1383			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1384
1385- ULPI Layer Support:
1386		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1387		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1388		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1389		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1390		viewport is supported.
1391		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1392		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1393		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1394		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1395		the appropriate value in Hz.
1396
1397- MMC Support:
1398		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1399		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be

1439		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1440		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1441		one that would help mostly the developer.
1442
1443		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1444		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1445		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1446		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1447		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1448
1449		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1450		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1451		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1452		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1453		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1454		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1455
1456		DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1457		Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1458		host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1459		a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1460
1461		DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1462		Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1463		entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1464		sending again an USB request to the device.
1465
1466- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1467		CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1468		This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget

1474		used on Android devices.
1475		See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1476
1477		CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1478		This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1479		image format header.
1480
1481		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1482		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1483		downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1484		downloaded images.
1485
1486		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1487		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1488		downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1489		platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1490
1491		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1492		The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1493		the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1494		this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1495
1496		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1497		The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1498		regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1499		the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1500
1501		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1502		The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1503		image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1504		Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1505		to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1506		This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1507		"fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1508		The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1509
1510		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1511		The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1512		image to DOS MBR.
1513		This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1514		"fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1515		If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1516

1542
1543		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1544
1545		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1546		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1547		defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1548		and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1549		instead.
1550
1551- Video support:
1552		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1553		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1554		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU

1563			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1564
1565		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1566		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1567		boot.  See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1568		description of this variable.
1569
1570- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1571
1572		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1573		display); also select one of the supported displays
1574		by defining one of these:
1575
1576		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1577
1578			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1579
1580		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1581
1582			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1583
1584		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1585
1586			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1587			Active, color, single scan.
1588
1589		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1590
1591			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1592			Active, color, single scan.
1593
1594		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1595
1596			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1597			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1598
1599		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1600
1601			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1602			Active, color, single scan.
1603
1604		CONFIG_HLD1045
1605
1606			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1607			Active, color, single scan.
1608
1609		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1610
1611			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1612			or
1613			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1614			or
1615			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1616
1617			320x240. Black & white.
1618
1619		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1620
1621		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1622		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1623		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1624		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1625		a per-section basis.
1626
1627
1628		CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1629
1630		Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1631		mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1632		we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1633		framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1634		printed out.
1635		Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1636		initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1637		"vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1638		The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1639		fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1640		0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1641		1 = 90 degree rotation
1642		2 = 180 degree rotation
1643		3 = 270 degree rotation
1644
1645		If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1646		initialized with 0degree rotation.
1647
1648		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1649
1650		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1651
1652		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1653
1654		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1655		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1656
1657- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1658
1659		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1660		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1661		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1662		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1663		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1664		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1665		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1666		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1667
1668		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1669
1670		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1671		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1672		(see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1673		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1674		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1675		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1676		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1677		there is no need to set this option.
1678
1679		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1680
1681		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1682		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1683		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1684		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1685		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1686		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1687
1688		Example:
1689		setenv splashpos m,m
1690			=> image at center of screen
1691
1692		setenv splashpos 30,20
1693			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1694
1695		setenv splashpos -10,m
1696			=> vertically centered image
1697			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1698
1699- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1700
1701		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1702		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1703		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1704
1705- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1706
1707		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1708		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1709		bmp command.
1710
1711- Compression support:
1712		CONFIG_GZIP
1713
1714		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1715
1716		CONFIG_BZIP2
1717
1718		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1719		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1720		compressed images are supported.
1721
1722		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1723		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1724		be at least 4MB.
1725
1726		CONFIG_LZO
1727
1728		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1729		is included.
1730
1731- MII/PHY support:
1732		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1733
1734		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1735
1736		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1737
1738		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1739
1740		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1741
1742		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1743		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1744
1745		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1746
1747		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1748		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1749		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1750		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1751
1752		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1753
1754		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1755		command issued before MII status register can be read
1756
1757- IP address:
1758		CONFIG_IPADDR
1759
1760		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1761		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1762		determined through e.g. bootp.
1763		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
1764
1765- Server IP address:
1766		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1767
1768		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1769		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1770		(Environment variable "serverip")
1771
1772		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1773
1774		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1775		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1776
1777- Gateway IP address:
1778		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1779
1780		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1781		default router where packets to other networks are
1782		sent to.
1783		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
1784
1785- Subnet mask:
1786		CONFIG_NETMASK
1787
1788		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1789		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1790		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1791		forwarded through a router.
1792		(Environment variable "netmask")
1793
1794- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1795		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1796
1797		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1798		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1799		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1800		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1801		multicast group.
1802
1803- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1804		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1805
1806		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1807		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1808		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1809		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1810		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1811		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1812		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1813		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1814		following delays are inserted then:
1815
1816		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1817		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1818		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1819		4th and following
1820		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1821
1822		CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1823
1824		BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1825		server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1826		U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1827		an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1828		aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1829		ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1830		respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1831		takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1832		time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1833		to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1834		retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1835		IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1836		cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1837		requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1838		from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1839
1840- DHCP Advanced Options:
1841		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1842		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1843
1844		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1845		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1846		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1847		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1848		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1849		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1850		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1851		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1852		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1853		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1854		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1855		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1856		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1857
1858		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1859		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1860
1861		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1862		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1863		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
1864		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1865		is not available.
1866
1867		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1868		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1869		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1870		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1871		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1872		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1873		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1874		is defined.
1875
1876		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1877		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1878		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1879		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1880		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1881		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1882
1883		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1884
1885		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1886		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1887		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1888		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1889		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1890		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1891		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1892		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1893		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1894		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1895		this delay.
1896
1897 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1898		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1899		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1900		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1901		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1902
1903		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1904
1905 - CDP Options:
1906		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1907
1908		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1909
1910		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1911
1912		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1913		of the device.
1914
1915		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1916
1917		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1918		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1919		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1920
1921		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1922
1923		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1924		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1925
1926		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1927
1928		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1929
1930		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1931
1932		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1933
1934		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1935
1936		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1937
1938		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1939
1940		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1941		device in .1 of milliwatts.
1942
1943		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1944
1945		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1946
1947- Status LED:	CONFIG_LED_STATUS
1948
1949		Several configurations allow to display the current
1950		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1951		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1952		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1953		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1954		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1955		kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
1956		feature in U-Boot.
1957
1958		Additional options:
1959
1960		CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1961		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1962		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
1963		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1964		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
1965
1966		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1967		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1968		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1969		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1970		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
1971		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
1972
1973- CAN Support:	CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1974
1975		Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1976		on those systems that support this (optional)
1977		feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1978
1979- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
1980
1981		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
1982		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
1983		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
1984		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
1985		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
1986		interface.
1987
1988		ported i2c driver to the new framework:
1989		- drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c:
1990		  - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define

2007		    CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first
2008		    bus.
2009		  - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define
2010		    CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset
2011		    CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and

2043		  - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RCAR
2044		  - This driver adds 4 i2c buses

2119
2120		additional defines:
2121
2122		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2123		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
2124
2125		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2126		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2127		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2128		omit this define.
2129
2130		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2131		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2132		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2133		define.
2134
2135		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2136		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2137		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2138		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2139		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2140
2141		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2142					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2143					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2144					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2145					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2146					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2147					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2148					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2149					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2150					}
2151
2152		which defines
2153			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2154			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2155			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2156			bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3

2158			bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2159			bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2160			bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2161			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2162
2163		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2164
2165- Legacy I2C Support:
2166		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2167		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2168		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2169
2170		I2C_INIT
2171
2172		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2173		controller or configure ports.
2174
2175		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2176
2177		I2C_PORT
2178
2179		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2180		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2181		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2182
2183		I2C_ACTIVE
2184
2185		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2186		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2187		define can be null.
2188
2189		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2190
2191		I2C_TRISTATE
2192
2193		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2194		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2195		define can be null.
2196
2197		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2198
2199		I2C_READ
2200
2201		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2202		false if it is low.
2203
2204		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2205
2206		I2C_SDA(bit)
2207
2208		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2209		is false, it clears it (low).
2210
2211		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2212			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2213			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2214
2215		I2C_SCL(bit)
2216
2217		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2218		is false, it clears it (low).
2219
2220		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2221			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2222			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2223
2224		I2C_DELAY
2225
2226		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2227		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2228		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2229		like:
2230
2231		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2232
2233		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2234
2235		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2236		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2237		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2238		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2239
2240		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2241		the generic GPIO functions.
2242
2243		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2244
2245		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2246		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2247		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2248		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2249		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2250		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2251		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2252		is run early in the boot sequence.
2253
2254		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2255
2256		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2257		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2258		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2259		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2260
2261		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2262
2263		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2264		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2265		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2266		a 1D array of device addresses
2267
2268		e.g.
2269			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2270			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2271
2272		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2273
2274			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2275			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2276
2277		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2278
2279		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2280
2281		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2282		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2283
2284		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2285
2286		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2287		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2288
2289		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2290
2291		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2292		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2293		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2294		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2295		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2296		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2297		the other.
2298
2299- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2300
2301		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2302		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2303		D/As on the SACSng board)
2304
2305		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2306
2307		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2308		only SH7757 is supported.
2309
2310		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2311
2312		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2313		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2314		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2315		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2316		defined, the board configuration must define several
2317		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2318		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2319
2320		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2321
2322		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2323		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2324		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2325		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2326		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2327
2328		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2329
2330		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2331		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2332
2333		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2334		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2335		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2336
2337- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2338
2339		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2340
2341		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2342
2343		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2344		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2345
2346		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2347
2348		Enables support for FPGA family.
2349		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2350
2351		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2352
2353		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2354
2355		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2356
2357		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2358
2359		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2360
2361		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2362		status by the configuration function. This option
2363		will require a board or device specific function to
2364		be written.
2365
2366		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2367
2368		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2369		configuration driver.
2370
2371		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2372		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2373
2374		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2375
2376		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2377		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2378		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2379		indicated a CRC error).
2380
2381		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2382
2383		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2384		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2385		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2386		ms.
2387
2388		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2389
2390		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2391		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2392
2393		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2394
2395		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2396		200 ms.
2397
2398- Configuration Management:
2399		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2400
2401		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2402		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2403		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2404		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2405		make / buildman.
2406
2407		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2408
2409		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2410		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2411
2412- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2413
2414		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2415		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2416		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2417		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2418		protects these variables from casual modification by
2419		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2420		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2421		change this behaviour:
2422
2423		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2424		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2425		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2426		these parameters.
2427
2428		Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2429		default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2430		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2431		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2432		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2433		read-only.]
2434
2435		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2436		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2437		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2438		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2439
2440- Protected RAM:
2441		CONFIG_PRAM
2442
2443		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2444		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2445		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2446		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2447		this default value by defining an environment
2448		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2449		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2450		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2451		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2452		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2453		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2454		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2455
2456			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2457			saveenv
2458
2459		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2460		either, which results in a memory region that will
2461		not be affected by reboots.
2462
2463		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2464		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2465		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2466		following board configurations are known to be
2467		"pRAM-clean":
2468
2469			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2470			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2471			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2472
2473- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2474		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2475		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2476		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2477		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2478		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2479		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2480
2481- Error Recovery:
2482		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2483
2484		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2485		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2486		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2487		system where you want the system to reboot
2488		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2489		useful during development since you can try to debug
2490		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2491
2492		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2493
2494		This variable defines the number of retries for
2495		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2496		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2497		default value of 5 is used.
2498
2499		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2500
2501		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2502
2503		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2504
2505		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2506		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2507		try longer timeout such as
2508		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2509
2510- Command Interpreter:
2511		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2512
2513		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2514
2515		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2516
2517		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2518		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2519		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2520
2521	Note:
2522
2523		In the current implementation, the local variables
2524		space and global environment variables space are
2525		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2526		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2527		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2528		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2529		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2530
2531		Global environment variables are those you use
2532		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2533		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2534		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2535
2536		To store commands and special characters in a
2537		variable, please use double quotation marks
2538		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2539		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2540		symbols.
2541
2542- Command Line Editing and History:
2543		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2544
2545		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2546		command line input operations
2547
2548- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2549		CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2550
2551		Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2552		at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2553		The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2554		and PS2.
2555
2556- Default Environment:
2557		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2558
2559		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2560		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2561		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2562
2563		For example, place something like this in your
2564		board's config file:
2565
2566		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2567			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2568			"myvar2=value2\0"
2569
2570		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2571		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2572		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2573		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2574		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2575		You better know what you are doing here.
2576
2577		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2578		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2579		the environment like the "source" command or the
2580		boot command first.
2581
2582		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2583
2584		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2585		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2586		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2587
2588		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2589
2590		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2591		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2592		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2593		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2594		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2595
2596		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2597
2598		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2599		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2600		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2601
2602		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2603
2604		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2605		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2606		that so that the environment is not available until
2607		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2608		this is instead controlled by the value of
2609		/config/load-environment.
2610
2611- DataFlash Support:
2612		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2613
2614		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2615		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2616		commands cp, md...
2617
2618- Serial Flash support
2619		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2620
2621		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2622		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2623
2624		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2625		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2626		commands.
2627
2628		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2629		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2630		flash is present on the system.
2631
2632		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2633		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2634		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2635		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2636
2637		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2638
2639		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2640		test ('sf test').
2641
2642		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
2643
2644		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2645		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2646		Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
2647
2648- SystemACE Support:
2649		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2650
2651		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2652		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2653		of the chip must also be defined in the
2654		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2655
2656		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2657		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2658
2659		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2660		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2661
2662- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2663		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2664
2665		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2666		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2667		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2668		number generator is used.
2669
2670		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2671		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2672		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2673
2674		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2675		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2676		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2677		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2678		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2679		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2680		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2681
2682- Hashing support:
2683		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2684
2685		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2686		size a little.
2687
2688		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2689		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2690
2691- bootcount support:
2692		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2693
2694		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2695		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2696
2697		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2698		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2699		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2700		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2701		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2702		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2703		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2704		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2705			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2706			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2707						    the bootcounter.
2708			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2709
2710- Show boot progress:
2711		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2712
2713		Defining this option allows to add some board-
2714		specific code (calling a user-provided function
2715		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2716		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2717		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2718		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2719

2872  151	common/cmd_nand.c	FIT image format OK
2873
2874- legacy image format:
2875		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
2876		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
2877
2878		Default:
2879		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
2880
2881		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
2882		disable the legacy image format
2883
2884		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
2885		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
2886
2887- Standalone program support:
2888		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2889
2890		This option defines a board specific value for the
2891		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2892		overwriting the architecture dependent default
2893		settings.
2894
2895- Frame Buffer Address:
2896		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2897
2898		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
2899		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
2900		when using a graphics controller has separate video
2901		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2902		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2903		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2904		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2905		configured panel size.
2906
2907		Please see board_init_f function.
2908
2909- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
2910		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
2911		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
2912		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
2913
2914		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
2915		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
2916
2917- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
2918		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
2919
2920		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
2921		Needed for mtdparts command support.
2922
2923		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
2924
2925		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
2926		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
2927
2928- UBI support
2929		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
2930
2931		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
2932		with the UBI flash translation layer
2933
2934		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
2935
2936		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
2937
2938		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
2939		warnings and errors enabled.
2940
2941
2942		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
2943		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
2944		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
2945		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
2946		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
2947		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
2948
2949		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
2950		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
2951		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
2952		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
2953		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
2954
2955		default: 4096
2956
2957		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
2958		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
2959		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
2960		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
2961		flash), this value is ignored.
2962
2963		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
2964		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
2965		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
2966		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
2967		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
2968		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
2969
2970		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
2971		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
2972		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
2973		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
2974		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
2975		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
2976		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
2977		partition.
2978
2979		default: 20
2980
2981		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
2982		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
2983		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
2984		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
2985		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
2986		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
2987		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
2988		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
2989		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
2990		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
2991		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
2992		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
2993
2994		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
2995		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
2996		without a fastmap.
2997		default: 0
2998
2999		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3000		Enable UBI fastmap debug
3001		default: 0
3002
3003- UBIFS support
3004		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3005
3006		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3007		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3008
3009		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3010
3011		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3012
3013		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3014		warnings and errors enabled.
3015
3016- SPL framework
3017		CONFIG_SPL
3018		Enable building of SPL globally.
3019
3020		CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3021		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3022
3023		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3024		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3025		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3026		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3027		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3028		must not be both defined at the same time.
3029
3030		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3031		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3032		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3033		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3034		not exceed it.
3035
3036		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3037		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3038
3039		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3040		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3041		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3042
3043		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3044		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3045
3046		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3047		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3048		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3049		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3050		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3051		must not be both defined at the same time.
3052
3053		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3054		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3055
3056		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3057		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3058		loaded does not have a signature.
3059		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3060		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3061		will be caught.
3062		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3063		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3064		and thus should be skipped silently.
3065
3066		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3067		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3068		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3069		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3070
3071		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3072		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3073		When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3074		it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3075		can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3076
3077		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3078		The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3079
3080		CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3081		Enable the SPL framework under common/.  This framework
3082		supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3083		NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3084
3085		CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3086		Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3087		See also: doc/README.falcon
3088
3089		CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3090		For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3091		about the running system.
3092
3093		CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
3094		Arch init code should be built for a very small image
3095
3096		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3097		Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3098		used in raw mode
3099
3100		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3101		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3102		used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3103
3104		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3105		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS
3106		Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument
3107		parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode
3108		(for falcon mode)
3109
3110		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION
3111		Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3112		used in fs mode
3113
3114		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME
3115		Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
3116
3117		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3118		Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3119		from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3120
3121		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3122		Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3123		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3124
3125		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3126		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3127		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3128		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3129		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3130
3131		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3132		Avoid SPL relocation
3133
3134		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3135		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires
3136		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS.
3137
3138		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS
3139		SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers.
3140
3141		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC
3142		Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3143
3144		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE
3145		Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that
3146		expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3147
3148		CONFIG_SPL_UBI
3149		Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and
3150		loader
3151
3152		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3153		Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3154		if you need to save space.
3155
3156		CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3157		Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3158		SPL binary.
3159
3160		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3161		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3162		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3163		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3164		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3165		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3166		to read U-Boot
3167
3168		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT
3169		Add support NAND boot
3170
3171		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS
3172		Location in NAND to read U-Boot from
3173
3174		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST
3175		Location in memory to load U-Boot to
3176
3177		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE
3178		Size of image to load
3179
3180		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3181		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3182
3183		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3184		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3185		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3186
3187		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3188		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3189		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3190
3191		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3192		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3193
3194		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3195		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3196		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3197		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3198		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3199		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3200
3201		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3202		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3203		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3204		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3205
3206		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3207		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3208		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3209		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3210		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3211
3212- TPL framework
3213		CONFIG_TPL
3214		Enable building of TPL globally.
3215
3216		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3217		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3218		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3219		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3220		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3221		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3222
3223- Interrupt support (PPC):
3224
3225		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3226		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3227		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3228		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3229		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3230		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3231		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3232		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3233		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3234		general timer_interrupt().
3235
3236
3237Board initialization settings:
3238------------------------------
3239
3240During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3241to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3242before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3243following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3244architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3245typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3246
3247- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3248- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3249- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3250- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3251
3252Configuration Settings:
3253-----------------------
3254
3255- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3256		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3257
3258- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3259		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3260
3261- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3262		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3263
3264- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3265		prompt for user input.
3266
3267- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3268
3269- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3270
3271- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3272
3273- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3274		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3275		booted
3276
3277- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3278		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3279
3280- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3281		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3282		simple memory test.
3283
3284- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3285		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3286
3287- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3288		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3289		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3290
3291- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3292		Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3293		If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3294		is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3295		This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3296		gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3297		the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3298		this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3299
3300- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3301		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3302		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3303		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3304		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3305		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3306		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3307		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3308		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3309		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3310
3311		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3312		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3313		be touched.
3314
3315		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3316		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3317		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3318		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3319		problems.
3320
3321- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3322		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3323
3324- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3325		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3326
3327- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3328		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3329
3330- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3331		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3332		make config files to be same as the text base address
3333		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3334		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3335
3336- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3337		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3338		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3339		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3340		flash sector.
3341
3342- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3343		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3344
3345- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3346		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3347		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3348		will become available before relocation. The address is just
3349		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3350		space.
3351
3352		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3353		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3354		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3355		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3356		U-Boot relocates itself.
3357
3358- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3359		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3360		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3361		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3362
3363- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3364		Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3365		typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3366		uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3367		otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3368		some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3369		cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3370		are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3371		cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3372		if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3373		size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3374		one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3375		written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3376		happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3377		buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3378		16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3379
3380		Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3381
3382- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3383		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3384		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3385		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3386		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3387
3388- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3389		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3390		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3391		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3392		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3393		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3394		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3395		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3396		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3397		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3398		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3399
3400- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3401		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3402		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3403		is enabled.
3404
3405- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3406		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3407		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3408
3409- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3410		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3411		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3412
3413- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3414		Max number of Flash memory banks
3415
3416- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3417		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3418
3419- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3420		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3421
3422- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3423		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3424
3425- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3426		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3427
3428- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3429		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3430
3431- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3432		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3433		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3434
3435- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3436
3437		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3438		without this option such a download has to be
3439		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3440		copy from RAM to flash.
3441
3442		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3443		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3444		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3445		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3446		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3447
3448- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3449		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3450		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3451
3452- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3453		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3454		in the drivers directory
3455
3456- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3457		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3458		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3459		to the MTD layer.
3460
3461- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3462		Use buffered writes to flash.
3463
3464- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3465		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3466		write commands.
3467
3468- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3469		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3470		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3471		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3472		optionally available.
3473
3474- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3475		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3476		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3477		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3478
3479- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3480		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3481		against the source after the write operation. An error message
3482		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3483		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3484		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3485		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3486		this option if you really know what you are doing.
3487
3488- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3489		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3490		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3491		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3492		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3493		on high Ethernet traffic.
3494		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3495
3496- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3497
3498	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3499	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3500	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3501	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3502	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3503
3504- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3505- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3506	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3507	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3508	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3509	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3510
3511	The format of the list is:
3512		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3513		access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3514		attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3515		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
3516		list = entry[,list]
3517
3518	The type attributes are:
3519		s - String (default)
3520		d - Decimal
3521		x - Hexadecimal
3522		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
3523		i - IP address
3524		m - MAC address
3525
3526	The access attributes are:
3527		a - Any (default)
3528		r - Read-only
3529		o - Write-once
3530		c - Change-default
3531
3532	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3533		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
3534		environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
3535
3536	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3537		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3538		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3539		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
3540		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3541		".flags" variable.
3542
3543	If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3544	regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3545	flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
3546
3547- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
3548	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
3549	access flags.
3550
3551- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3552	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3553	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3554	building U-Boot to enable this.
3555
3556The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3557of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3558following configurations:
3559
3560- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3561
3562	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3563	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3564
3565- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
3566
3567	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3568
3569	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3570	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3571	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3572	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3573	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3574	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3575	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3576	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3577	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3578	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3579	   between U-Boot and the environment.
3580
3581	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3582
3583	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3584	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3585	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3586	   for this sector is given here.
3587
3588	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
3589
3590	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3591
3592	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
3593	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
3594	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
3595
3596	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3597
3598	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
3599
3600
3601	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3602	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3603	   the environment.
3604
3605	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3606
3607	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
3608	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
3609	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3610	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3611
3612	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3613	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3614	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3615	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3616	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3617	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
3618	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3619	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3620	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
3621
3622	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
3623	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
3624
3625	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
3626	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
3627	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
3628	   a "saveenv" operation.
3629
3630BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
3631source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
3632accordingly!
3633
3634
3635- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
3636
3637	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3638	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3639	environment.
3640
3641	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3642	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3643
3644	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
3645	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3646	  can just be read and written to, without any special
3647	  provision.
3648
3649BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
3650in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
3651console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
3652U-Boot will hang.
3653
3654Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3655environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3656keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3657to save the current settings.
3658
3659
3660- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
3661
3662	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3663	device and a driver for it.
3664
3665	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3666	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3667
3668	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3669	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
3670
3671	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
3672	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
3673	  The default address is zero.
3674
3675	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
3676	  If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
3677
3678	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
3679	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3680	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
3681	  would require six bits.
3682
3683	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
3684	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
3685	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
3686
3687	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
3688	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
3689	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
3690
3691	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
3692	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3693	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3694	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3695	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3696	  byte chips.
3697
3698	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3699	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3700	  in the chip address.
3701
3702	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
3703	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
3704
3705	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
3706	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
3707	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
3708
3709	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3710	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3711	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3712	  EEPROM. For example:
3713
3714	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
3715
3716	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
3717	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
3718
3719- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
3720
3721	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
3722	want to use for the environment.
3723
3724	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3725	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3726	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3727
3728	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
3729	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
3730	  at the specified address.
3731
3732- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
3733
3734	Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
3735	want to use for the environment.
3736
3737	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3738	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3739
3740	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
3741	  environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3742	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3743
3744	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
3745
3746	  Define the SPI flash's sector size.
3747
3748	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3749
3750	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3751	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3752	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3753	  during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
3754	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
3755
3756	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
3757	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
3758
3759	  Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
3760
3761	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
3762
3763	  Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
3764
3765	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
3766
3767	  Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
3768
3769- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
3770
3771	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
3772	want to use for the local device's environment.
3773
3774	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3775	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3776
3777	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3778	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
3779	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
3780	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
3781
3782BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3783"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
3784environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3785but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
3786
3787- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
3788
3789	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
3790	for the environment.
3791
3792	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3793	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3794
3795	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3796	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
3797	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3798
3799	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3800
3801	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
3802	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
3803	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
3804	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND must be
3805	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
3806
3807	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3808
3809	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3810	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3811	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3812	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3813	  the range to be avoided.
3814
3815	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3816
3817	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3818	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
3819	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3820	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
3821	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
3822
3823- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3824
3825	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
3826	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
3827	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3828
3829- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3830
3831	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3832	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3833	accesses, which is important on NAND.
3834
3835	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3836
3837	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3838
3839	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
3840
3841	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
3842	  environment in.
3843
3844	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
3845
3846	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
3847	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
3848	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
3849
3850	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3851	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3852
3853	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
3854	  when storing the env in UBI.
3855
3856- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
3857       Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
3858
3859       - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
3860
3861         Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
3862
3863       - FAT_ENV_DEVICE_AND_PART:
3864
3865         Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
3866         be as following:
3867
3868           "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
3869               - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
3870                        partition table.
3871               - "D:0": device D.
3872               - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
3873                              table, or the whole device D if has no partition
3874                              table.
3875               - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
3876                           If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
3877                           partition table then means device D.
3878
3879       - FAT_ENV_FILE:
3880
3881         It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
3882         environment.
3883
3884       - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
3885         This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
3886
3887- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
3888
3889	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
3890	environment.
3891
3892	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
3893
3894	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
3895
3896	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
3897
3898	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
3899	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
3900	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
3901
3902	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
3903	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3904
3905	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
3906	  area within the specified MMC device.
3907
3908	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
3909	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
3910	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
3911	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
3912	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
3913	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
3914	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
3915
3916	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
3917	  MMC sector boundary.
3918
3919	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
3920
3921	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
3922	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
3923	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
3924	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
3925
3926	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
3927	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
3928
3929	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
3930	  an MMC sector boundary.
3931
3932	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
3933
3934	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
3935	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
3936	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
3937
3938- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
3939
3940	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
3941	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
3942	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
3943	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
3944	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
3945	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
3946	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
3947
3948Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
3949has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
3950created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
3951until then to read environment variables.
3952
3953The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
3954is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
3955with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
3956necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
3957"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
3958have any device yet where we could complain.]
3959
3960Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
3961the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
3962use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
3963
3964- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
3965		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
3966
3967		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
3968		      also needs to be defined.
3969
3970- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
3971		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
3972
3973- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
3974		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
3975		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
3976		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
3977		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
3978		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
3979
3980- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
3981		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
3982		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
3983		to do this.
3984
3985- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
3986		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
3987		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
3988		present.
3989
3990- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
3991		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
3992		build system checks that the actual size does not
3993		exceed it.
3994
3995Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
3996---------------------------------------------------
3997
3998- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
3999		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4000
4001- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4002		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4003
4004		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4005		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4006		the IMMR register after a reset.
4007
4008- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4009		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4010		PowerPC SOCs.
4011
4012- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4013		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4014		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4015
4016		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4017		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4018
4019- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4020		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4021		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4022		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4023		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4024		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4025		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4026
4027		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4028			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4029
4030- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4031		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4032		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4033		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4034		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4035
4036- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4037		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4038		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4039		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4040
4041- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4042		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4043		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4044
4045- Floppy Disk Support:
4046		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4047
4048		the default drive number (default value 0)
4049
4050		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4051
4052		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4053		(default value 1)
4054
4055		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4056
4057		defines the offset of register from address. It
4058		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4059		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4060
4061		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4062		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4063		default value.
4064
4065		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4066		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4067		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4068		source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4069		initializations.
4070
4071- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4072		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4073		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4074		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4075		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4076		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4077		is required.
4078
4079- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4080		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4081		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4082
4083- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4084
4085		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4086		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4087		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4088		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4089		will become available only after programming the
4090		memory controller and running certain initialization
4091		sequences.
4092
4093		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4094		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4095		- MPC824X: data cache
4096		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4097
4098- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4099
4100		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4101		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4102		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4103		data is located at the end of the available space
4104		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4105		GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4106		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4107		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4108
4109	Note:
4110		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4111		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4112		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4113		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4114		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4115

4159
4160- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]:
4161		enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx);
4162		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4163
4164- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4165		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4166		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4167		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
4168		cpm_8260.h.
4169
4170- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
4171  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

4177  CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
4178		Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4179
4180- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4181		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4182		required.
4183
4184- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4185		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4186		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4187		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4188		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4189		by coreboot or similar.
4190
4191- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4192		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4193
4194- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
4195		Chip has SRIO or not
4196

4209- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS:
4210		Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4211
4212- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4213		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4214
4215- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4216		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4217		a 16 bit bus.
4218		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4219		Example of drivers that use it:
4220		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4221		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4222
4223- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4224		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4225		a default value will be used.
4226
4227- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4228		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4229		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4230
4231  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4232		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4233
4234- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4235		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4236		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4237		to something your driver can deal with.
4238
4239- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4240		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4241		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4242		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4243		header files or board specific files.
4244
4245- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4246		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4247
4248- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4249		Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4250
4251- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4252		Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4253
4254- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4255		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4256		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4257
4258- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4259		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4260
4261- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4262		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4263		to the given FEC; i. e.
4264			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4265		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4266
4267		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4268
4269- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4270		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4271		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4272
4273- CONFIG_RMII
4274		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4275		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4276		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4277
4278- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4279		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4280		The syntax is:
4281
4282		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4283
4284		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4285		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4286		area should have.
4287
4288- CONFIG_LOOPW
4289		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4290		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4291
4292- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4293		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4294		"md/mw" commands.
4295		Examples:
4296
4297		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4298		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4299
4300		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4301		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4302
4303		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4304		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4305
4306- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4307		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4308		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4309		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4310		relocate itself into RAM.
4311
4312		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4313		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4314		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4315		these initializations itself.
4316
4317- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4318		[ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4319		to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4320		instruction cache) is still performed.
4321
4322- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4323		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4324		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4325		compiling a NAND SPL.
4326
4327- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4328		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4329		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4330		It is loaded by the SPL.
4331
4332- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4333		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4334		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4335		previous 4k of the .text section.
4336
4337- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4338		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4339		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4340		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4341		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4342		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4343		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4344		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4345
4346- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4347		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4348		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4349
4350- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4351		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4352
4353- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4354		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4355		driver that uses this:
4356		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4357
4358Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4359-----------------------------------
4360
4361The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4362loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4363This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4364are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4365within that device.
4366
4367- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4368	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
4369	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4370	is also specified.
4371
4372- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4373	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
4374	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4375	is also specified.
4376
4377- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4378	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4379	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4380	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4381	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4382
4383- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4384	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4385	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4386	virtual address in NOR flash.
4387
4388- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4389	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4390	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4391
4392- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4393	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4394	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4395
4396- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4397	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4398	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4399	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4400	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4401	master's memory space.
4402
4403Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4404---------------------------------------------------------
4405The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4406"firmware".
4407This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4408are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4409within that device.
4410
4411- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4412	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4413
4414Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4415-------------------------------------------
4416The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4417"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4418This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4419
4420- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4421	Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4422
4423Reproducible builds
4424-------------------
4425
4426In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4427process have to be set to a fixed value.
4428
4429This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4430SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4431option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4432
4433SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4434
4435Building the Software:
4436======================
4437
4438Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4439and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4440all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4441(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4442recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4443which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4444
4445If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4446have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4447you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4448Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4449necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4450
4451	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4452	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
4453
4454Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4455      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4456      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4457      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
4458
4459       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4460
4461      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4462      be executed on computers running Windows.
4463
4464U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4465sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4466is done by typing:
4467
4468	make NAME_defconfig
4469
4470where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4471rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4472
4473Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4474      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4475      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4476      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4477      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4478
4479      make TQM823L_defconfig
4480	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4481
4482      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4483	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4484
4485      etc.
4486
4487
4488Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4489images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4490
4491- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4492- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4493- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4494
4495By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4496in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4497this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4498
44991. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4500
4501	make O=/tmp/build distclean
4502	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4503	make O=/tmp/build all
4504
45052. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4506
4507	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4508	make distclean
4509	make NAME_defconfig
4510	make all
4511
4512Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4513variable.
4514
4515
4516Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4517for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4518native "make".
4519
4520
4521If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4522to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4523steps:
4524
45251.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4526    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4527    the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
45282.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4529    your board.
45303.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4531    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
45324.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
45335.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4534    to be installed on your target system.
45356.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4536    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4537
4538
4539Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4540==============================================================
4541
4542If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4543or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4544provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4545the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4546official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4547
4548But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4549cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4550the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4551just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4552configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4553will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4554for documentation.

4609Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
4610========================================
4611
4612TODO.
4613
4614For now: just type "help <command>".
4615
4616
4617Environment Variables:
4618======================
4619
4620U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4621can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4622
4623Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4624"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4625without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4626environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4627working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4628environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4629
4630Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4631
4632List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4633
4634  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4635
4636  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4637
4638  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4639
4640  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4641
4642  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
4643
4644  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4645		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4646		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4647		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4648		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4649		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4650		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4651		  bootm_mapsize.
4652
4653  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4654		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4655		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4656		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4657		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4658		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4659		  used otherwise.
4660
4661  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4662		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4663		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4664		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4665		  environment variable.
4666
4667  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4668		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4669		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4670
4671  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4672		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4673		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4674		  load any image using TFTP
4675
4676  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4677		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4678		  be automatically started (by internally calling
4679		  "bootm")
4680
4681		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4682		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4683		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4684		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4685		  data.
4686
4687  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4688		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4689		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4690		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4691		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4692		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4693		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4694		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4695		  access it during the boot procedure.
4696
4697		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4698		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
4699		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4700		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4701		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4702		  must be accessible by the kernel.
4703
4704  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4705		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4706		  defined.
4707
4708  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4709		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4710		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4711		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4712		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
4713
4714  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
4715		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4716		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4717		  is usually what you want since it allows for
4718		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4719		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4720		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4721		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4722		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4723		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4724		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4725
4726		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4727		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4728		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4729		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4730		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4731		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
4732
4733		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4734
4735		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4736		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4737		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4738		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4739		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4740		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
4741		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4742
4743  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4744
4745  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4746		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4747
4748  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4749
4750  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4751
4752  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4753
4754  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4755
4756  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4757
4758  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
4759
4760  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
4761		  For example you can do the following
4762
4763		  => setenv ethact FEC
4764		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4765		  => setenv ethact SCC
4766		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4767
4768  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4769		  available network interfaces.
4770		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4771
4772  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
4773		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
4774		  When set to "once" the network operation will
4775		  fail when all the available network interfaces
4776		  are tried once without success.
4777		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4778		  themselves.
4779
4780  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
4781
4782  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
4783		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4784		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4785		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4786		  is silent.
4787
4788  tftpsrcp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4789		  UDP source port.
4790
4791  tftpdstp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4792		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4793
4794  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4795		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
4796
4797  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4798		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4799		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4800		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4801		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4802		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4803		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
4804
4805  tftptimeoutcountmax	- maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
4806		  unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
4807		  can happen during a single file transfer before that
4808		  transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
4809		  'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
4810		  downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
4811		  unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
4812
4813  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4814		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4815		  VLAN tagged frames.
4816
4817  bootpretryperiod	- Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
4818		  Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
4819		  be either the default (28000), or a value based on
4820		  CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
4821		  precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
4822
4823The following image location variables contain the location of images
4824used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4825not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4826variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4827server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4828loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4829flash or offset in NAND flash.
4830
4831*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4832boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
4833boards use these variables for other purposes.
4834
4835Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
4836-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
4837u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
4838Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
4839device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
4840ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
4841
4842The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4843updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4844depending the information provided by your boot server:
4845
4846  bootfile	- see above
4847  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
4848  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4849  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4850  hostname	- Target hostname
4851  ipaddr	- see above
4852  netmask	- Subnet Mask
4853  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4854  serverip	- see above
4855
4856
4857There are two special Environment Variables:
4858
4859  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
4860		  as type string and/or serial number
4861  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
4862
4863These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4864the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4865once they have been set once.
4866
4867
4868Further special Environment Variables:
4869
4870  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4871		  with the "version" command. This variable is
4872		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4873
4874
4875Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4876only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4877
4878
4879Callback functions for environment variables:
4880---------------------------------------------
4881
4882For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4883when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
4884be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
4885deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4886effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4887
4888The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4889U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4890
4891These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
4892static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4893in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4894associations.  The list must be in the following format:
4895
4896	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4897	list = entry[,list]
4898
4899If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4900Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4901
4902Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4903with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
4904override any association in the static list. You can define
4905CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4906".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4907
4908If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4909regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
4910the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
4911
4912
4913Command Line Parsing:
4914=====================
4915
4916There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4917the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
4918
4919Old, simple command line parser:
4920--------------------------------
4921
4922- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4923- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
4924- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
4925- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4926  for example:
4927	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
4928- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4929	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
4930
4931Hush shell:
4932-----------
4933
4934- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4935  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4936  until...do...done, ...
4937- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4938  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4939  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4940  command
4941
4942General rules:
4943--------------
4944
4945(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4946    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4947    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4948    executed anyway.
4949
4950(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
4951    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
4952    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4953    variables are not executed.
4954
4955Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4956=======================================
4957
4958Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
4959such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4960"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
4961
4962Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4963MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4964"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
4965
4966If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4967in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4968ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4969variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
4970
4971o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4972  environment, the SROM's address is used.
4973
4974o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4975  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4976  used.
4977
4978o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4979  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
4980
4981o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4982  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4983  warning is printed.
4984
4985o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4986  is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
4987  a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
4988
4989If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
4990will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
4991may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4992The naming convention is as follows:
4993"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
4994
4995Image Formats:
4996==============
4997
4998U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4999images in two formats:
5000
5001New uImage format (FIT)
5002-----------------------
5003
5004Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5005to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5006components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5007SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5008
5009
5010Old uImage format
5011-----------------
5012
5013Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5014preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5015details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5016
5017* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5018  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5019  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5020  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5021  INTEGRITY).
5022* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5023  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5024  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5025* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5026* Load Address
5027* Entry Point
5028* Image Name
5029* Image Timestamp
5030
5031The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5032and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5033CRC32 checksums.
5034
5035
5036Linux Support:
5037==============
5038
5039Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5040easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5041U-Boot.
5042
5043U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5044special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5045"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5046instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5047serves several purposes:
5048
5049- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5050  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5051  Flash memory footprint)
5052
5053- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5054  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5055
5056- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5057  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5058  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5059  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5060  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5061  software is easier now.
5062
5063
5064Linux HOWTO:
5065============
5066
5067Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5068---------------------------------------
5069
5070U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5071configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5072(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5073Linux :-).
5074
5075But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5076
5077Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5078include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5079Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5080and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5081as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5082
5083Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5084If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5085is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5086doc/driver-model.
5087
5088
5089Configuring the Linux kernel:
5090-----------------------------
5091
5092No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5093device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5094
5095
5096Building a Linux Image:
5097-----------------------
5098
5099With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5100not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5101"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5102U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5103which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5104100% compatible format.
5105
5106Example:
5107
5108	make TQM850L_defconfig
5109	make oldconfig
5110	make dep
5111	make uImage
5112
5113The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5114encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5115CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5116
5117* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5118
5119* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5120
5121	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5122				 -R .note -R .comment \
5123				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5124
5125* compress the binary image:
5126
5127	gzip -9 linux.bin
5128
5129* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5130
5131	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5132		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5133		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5134
5135
5136The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5137with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5138combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5139byte header containing information about target architecture,
5140operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5141stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5142
5143"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5144print the header information, or to build new images.
5145
5146In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5147contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5148checksum verification:
5149
5150	tools/mkimage -l image
5151	  -l ==> list image header information
5152
5153The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5154from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5155
5156	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5157		      -n name -d data_file image
5158	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5159	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5160	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5161	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5162	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5163	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5164	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5165	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5166
5167Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5168address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5169kernel version:
5170
5171- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5172- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5173
5174So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5175
5176	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5177	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5178	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5179	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5180	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5181	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5182	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5183	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5184	Load Address: 0x00000000
5185	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5186
5187To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5188
5189	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5190	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5191	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5192	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5193	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5194	Load Address: 0x00000000
5195	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5196
5197NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5198speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5199needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5200need to be uncompressed:
5201
5202	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5203	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5204	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5205	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5206	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5207	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5208	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5209	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5210	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5211	Load Address: 0x00000000
5212	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5213
5214
5215Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5216when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5217
5218	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5219	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5220	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5221	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5222	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5223	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5224	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5225	Load Address: 0x00000000
5226	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5227
5228The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5229option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5230option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5231from the image:
5232
5233	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5234	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5235	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5236	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5237
5238
5239Installing a Linux Image:
5240-------------------------
5241
5242To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5243you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5244
5245	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5246
5247The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5248image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5249address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5250specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5251command.
5252
5253Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5254TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5255
5256	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5257
5258	.......... done
5259	Erased 8 sectors
5260
5261	=> loads 40100000
5262	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5263	~>examples/image.srec
5264	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5265	...
5266	15989 15990 15991 15992
5267	[file transfer complete]
5268	[connected]
5269	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5270
5271
5272You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5273this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5274corruption happened:
5275
5276	=> imi 40100000
5277
5278	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5279	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
5280	   Image Type:	 PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5281	   Data Size:	 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
5282	   Load Address: 00000000
5283	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
5284	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
5285
5286
5287Boot Linux:
5288-----------
5289
5290The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5291memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5292of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5293parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5294"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5295
5296
5297	=> printenv bootargs
5298	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5299
5300	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5301
5302	=> printenv bootargs
5303	bootargs=root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5304
5305	=> bootm 40020000

5321If you want to boot a Linux kernel with initial RAM disk, you pass
5322the memory addresses of both the kernel and the initrd image (PPBCOOT
5323format!) to the "bootm" command:
5324

5373First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
5374titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The

5419More About U-Boot Image Types:
5420------------------------------
5421
5422U-Boot supports the following image types:
5423
5424   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5425	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5426	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5427	the Standalone Program.
5428   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5429	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5430	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5431	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5432	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5433   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5434	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5435	being started.
5436   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5437	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5438	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5439	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5440	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5441	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5442
5443	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5444	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5445	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5446	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5447	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5448	a multiple of 4 bytes).
5449
5450   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5451	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5452	flash memory.
5453
5454   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5455	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5456	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5457	as command interpreter.
5458
5459Booting the Linux zImage:
5460-------------------------
5461
5462On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5463using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5464as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5465
5466Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5467kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5468address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5469format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5470
5471
5472Standalone HOWTO:
5473=================
5474
5475One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5476run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5477U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5478
5479Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5480
5481"Hello World" Demo:
5482-------------------
5483
5484'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5485application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5486It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5487like that:
5488
5489	=> loads
5490	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5491	~>examples/hello_world.srec
5492	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5493	[file transfer complete]
5494	[connected]
5495	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5496
5497	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5498	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5499	Hello World
5500	argc = 7
5501	argv[0] = "40004"
5502	argv[1] = "Hello"
5503	argv[2] = "World!"
5504	argv[3] = "This"
5505	argv[4] = "is"
5506	argv[5] = "a"
5507	argv[6] = "test."
5508	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5509	Hit any key to exit ...
5510
5511	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5512
5513Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5514handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5515Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5516The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5517character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5518controlled by the following keys:
5519
5520	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5521	b - enable interrupts and start timer
5522	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5523	q - quit application
5524
5525	=> loads

5560Minicom warning:
5561================
5562
5563Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5564"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5565consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5566Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5567especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5568use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
5569http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5570for help with kermit.
5571
5572
5573Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5574configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5575
5576	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
5577	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N
5578	Y  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -r	 N    D	   Y	   N	  N

5581NetBSD Notes:
5582=============
5583
5584Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5585(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5586
5587Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5588NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5589need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5590Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5591attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5592missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5593
5594	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5595	# mkdir powerpc
5596	# ln -s powerpc machine
5597	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5598	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5599
5600Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5601and U-Boot include files.
5602
5603Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5604stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5605proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5606tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5607meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
5608
5609
5610Implementation Internals:
5611=========================
5612
5613The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5614implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5615inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5616hardware.
5617
5618
5619Initial Stack, Global Data:
5620---------------------------
5621
5622The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5623starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5624system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5625This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5626is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5627at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5628options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5629models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5630MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5631locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5632
5633	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5634	U-Boot mailing list:
5635
5636	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5637	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5638	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5639	...
5640
5641	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5642	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5643	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5644	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5645	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5646	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5647	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5648	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5649
5650	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5651	is another option for the system designer to use as an
5652	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5653	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5654	board designers haven't used it for something that would
5655	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5656	used.
5657
5658	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5659	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5660	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5661	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5662	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5663	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5664	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5665	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5666	you get the config right.

5670
5671It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5672code for the initialization procedures:
5673
5674* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5675  to write it.
5676
5677* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
5678  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5679  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5680
5681* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5682  that.
5683
5684Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5685normal global data to share information between the code. But it
5686turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5687simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5688functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5689functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5690the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5691place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5692reserve for this purpose.
5693
5694When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5695relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
5696GCC's implementation.
5697
5698For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5699	R1:	stack pointer
5700	R2:	reserved for system use
5701	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
5702	R5-R10: parameter passing
5703	R13:	small data area pointer
5704	R30:	GOT pointer
5705	R31:	frame pointer
5706
5707	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5708	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5709	going back and forth between asm and C)
5710
5711    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5712
5713    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5714    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5715    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5716    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5717    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5718    624 text + 127 data).
5719
5720On ARM, the following registers are used:
5721
5722	R0:	function argument word/integer result
5723	R1-R3:	function argument word
5724	R9:	platform specific
5725	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5726	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
5727	R12:	temporary workspace
5728	R13:	stack pointer
5729	R14:	link register
5730	R15:	program counter
5731
5732    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5733
5734    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
5735
5736On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5737	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5738
5739    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5740
5741    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5742    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5743
5744On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5745
5746	R0-R1:	argument/return
5747	R2-R5:	argument
5748	R15:	temporary register for assembler
5749	R16:	trampoline register
5750	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
5751	R29:	global pointer (GP)
5752	R30:	link register (LP)
5753	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
5754	PC:	program counter (PC)
5755
5756    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5757
5758NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5759or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5760
5761Memory Management:
5762------------------
5763
5764U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5765MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5766
5767The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5768controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5769memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5770physical memory banks.
5771
5772U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5773TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5774booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5775to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5776memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5777configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5778Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5779
5780Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5781of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5782
5783So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5784this:
5785
5786	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
5787	      :
5788	0x0000 1FFF
5789	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
5790	      :
5791	      :
5792
5793	      :
5794	      :
5795	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5796	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5797	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
5798	      :
5799	0x00FD FFFF
5800	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5801	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5802	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5803	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
5804
5805
5806System Initialization:
5807----------------------
5808
5809In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5810(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5811configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
5812To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5813To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5814initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5815which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5816part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5817the caches and the SIU.
5818
5819Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5820preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5821(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5822on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5823programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5824simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5825banks.
5826
5827When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5828different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5829bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
58300x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5831contiguous memory starting from 0.
5832
5833Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5834and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5835Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5836pages, and the final stack is set up.
5837
5838Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5839until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5840running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5841new address in RAM.

5918Coding Standards:
5919-----------------
5920
5921All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
5922coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
5923"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
5924
5925Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5926MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5927reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5928sources.
5929
5930Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5931Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5932in your code.
5933
5934Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5935- remove any trailing white space
5936- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
5937- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
5938- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
5939- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5940
5941Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5942with a request to reformat the changes.
5943
5944
5945Submitting Patches:
5946-------------------
5947
5948Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5949establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5950may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
5951
5952Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
5953
5954Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5955see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5956
5957When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5958it:
5959
5960* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5961  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5962  patch actually fixes something.
5963
5964* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5965  implementation.
5966
5967* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5968
5969* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
5970  information and associated file and directory references.
5971
5972* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5973  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
5974
5975* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5976  document these in the README file.
5977
5978* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5979  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
5980  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
5981  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5982  with some other mail clients.
5983
5984  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5985  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5986  GNU diff.
5987
5988  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5989  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5990  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5991  affected files).
5992
5993  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5994  and compressed attachments must not be used.
5995
5996* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5997  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5998
5999* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6000  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6001
6002
6003Notes:
6004
6005* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
6006  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6007  for any of the boards.
6008
6009* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6010  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6011  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6012
6013* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6014  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6015  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6016  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6017  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6018  modification.
6019
6020* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6021  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6022  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6023  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
