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

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

302Configuration Options:
303----------------------
304
305Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
306such information is kept in a configuration file
307"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
308
309Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
310"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
311
312
313Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
314kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
315build a config tool - later.
316
317
318The following options need to be configured:
319
320- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
321
322- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
323
324- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
325		Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
326
327- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
328		Define exactly one of
329		CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
330--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
331		CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
332		CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
333
334- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
335		Define exactly one of
336		CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
337
338- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
339		Define one or more of
340		CONFIG_CMA302
341
342- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined)
343		Define one or more of
344		CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT	- update a character position on
345					  the LCD display every second with
346					  a "rotator" |\-/|\-/
347
348- Marvell Family Member
349		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
350					  multiple fs option at one time
351					  for marvell soc family
352
353- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
354		CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ	- deprecated: CPU clock if
355					  get_gclk_freq() cannot work
356					  e.g. if there is no 32KHz
357					  reference PIT/RTC clock
358		CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK	- PLL input clock (either EXTCLK
359					  or XTAL/EXTAL)
360
361- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU):
362		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN
363		CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX
364		CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT
365			See doc/README.MPC866
366
367		CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK
368
369		Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
370		of relying on the correctness of the configured
371		values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
372		the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
373		that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
374		RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)
375
376		CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE
377
378		Define this option if you want to enable the
379		ICache only when Code runs from RAM.
380
381- 85xx CPU Options:
382		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
383
384		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
385		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
386		compliance, among other possible reasons.
387
388		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
389
390		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
391		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
392		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
393
394		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
395
396		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
397		tree nodes for the given platform.
398
399		CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB
400
401		Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work
402		around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger
403		support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where
404		breakpoints and single stepping do not work.  The value of this
405		symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this
406		purpose.
407
408		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
409
410		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
411		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
412		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
413
414		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
415		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
416
417		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
418		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
419
420		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
421		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
422		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
423		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
424
425		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
426		this erratum.
427
428		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
429		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
430		required during NOR boot.
431
432		CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
433		Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
434		required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
435
436		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
437
438		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
439		according to the A004510 workaround.
440
441		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
442		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
443		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
444
445		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
446		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
447		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
448
449		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
450		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
451		connected to the DSP core.
452
453		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
454		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
455
456		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
457		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
458		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
459		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
460
461		CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
462		This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
463		time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
464
465		CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
466		Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
467		supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
468
469- Generic CPU options:
470		CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
471		Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
472		If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
473		generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
474		should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
475
476		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
477
478		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
479		values is arch specific.
480
481		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR
482		Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is
483		found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core

510		Freescale DDR1 or DDR2 controllers, depending on the board
511		implemetation.
512
513		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2
514		Board config to use DDR2. It can be eanbeld for SoCs with
515		Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board

555		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_SDRAM_BASE_PHY
556		Physical address from the view of DDR controllers. It is the
557		same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for  all Power SoCs. But
558		it could be different for ARM SoCs.
559
560		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B
561		DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special
562		interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape
563		SoCs with ARM core.
564
565		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_MAIN_NUM_CTRLS
566		Number of controllers used as main memory.

575		Defines the SEC controller register space as Big Endian
576
577		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE
578		Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian
579
580- Intel Monahans options:
581		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO
582
583		Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
584		ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core
585		frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz.
586
587		CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO
588
589		Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
590		ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
591		2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
592		by this value.
593
594- MIPS CPU options:
595		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET
596
597		Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack
598		pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before
599		relocation.
600
601		CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE
602
603		Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU.
604		See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h.
605		Possible values are:
606			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA
607			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA
608			CONF_CM_UNCACHED
609			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT

611			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW
612			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW
613			CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED
614
615		CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG
616
617		Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash.
618		See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S.
619
620		CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES
621
622		Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq
623		XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to
624		be swapped if a flash programmer is used.
625
626- ARM options:
627		CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH
628
629		Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not
630		clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15.
631
632		CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD
633
634		Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction
635		set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides
636		better code density. For ARM architectures that support
637		Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by
638		GCC.
639
640		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044
641		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230
642		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622
643		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472
644		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320
645		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_773022
646		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_774769
647		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072
648
649		If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early
650		during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the
651		workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection
652		exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not
653		set these options unless they apply!
654
655		COUNTER_FREQUENCY
656		Generic timer clock source frequency.
657
658		COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
659		Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
660		different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
661		at run time.
662
663		NOTE: The following can be machine specific errata. These
664		do have ability to provide rudimentary version and machine
665		specific checks, but expect no product checks.
666		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_430973
667		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_454179
668		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_621766
669		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_798870
670		CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_801819
671
672- Tegra SoC options:
673		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
674
675		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
676		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
677		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
678
679- Linux Kernel Interface:
680		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
681
682		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
683		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
684		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
685		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
686		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
687		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
688		Linux kernel.
689		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
690		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
691		default environment.
692
693		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
694
695		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
696		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
697		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
698
699		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
700
701		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
702		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
703		concepts).
704
705		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
706		 * New libfdt-based support
707		 * Adds the "fdt" command
708		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
709
710		OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for
711			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
712		OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for
713			MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards).
714		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
715		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
716
717		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
718		addresses
719
720		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
721
722		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
723		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
724
725		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
726
727		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
728		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
729		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
730		the kernel.
731
732		CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
733
734		This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
735		param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
736
737		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
738
739		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
740		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
741		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
742		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
743		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
744		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
745
746		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
747
748		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
749		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
750		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
751		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
752		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
753		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
754		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
755
756- vxWorks boot parameters:
757
758		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
759		environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
760		serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
761		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
762
763		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
764		the defaults discussed just above.
765
766- Cache Configuration:
767		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
768		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
769		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
770
771- Cache Configuration for ARM:
772		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
773				      controller
774		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
775					controller register space
776
777- Serial Ports:
778		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
779
780		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
781
782		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
783
784		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
785
786		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
787
788		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
789		the clock speed of the UARTs.
790
791		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
792
793		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
794		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
795		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
796
797		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
798
799		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
800		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
801
802- Console Interface:
803		Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
804		(like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
805		CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
806		console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
807
808		Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
809		port routines must be defined elsewhere
810		(i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
811
812		CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
813		Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following
814		defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042)
815			VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN	graphic memory organisation
816						(default big endian)
817			VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL	graphic chip supports
818						rectangle fill
819						(cf. smiLynxEM)
820			VIDEO_HW_BITBLT		graphic chip supports
821						bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM)
822			VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS	visible pixel columns
823						(cols=pitch)
824			VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS	visible pixel rows
825			VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE	bytes per pixel
826			VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT	graphic data format
827						(0-5, cf. cfb_console.c)
828			VIDEO_FB_ADRS		framebuffer address
829			VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT	keyboard int fct
830						(i.e. rx51_kp_init())
831			VIDEO_TSTC_FCT		test char fct
832						(i.e. rx51_kp_tstc)
833			VIDEO_GETC_FCT		get char fct
834						(i.e. rx51_kp_getc)
835			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO	display Linux logo in
836						upper left corner
837			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO	use bmp_logo.h instead of
838						linux_logo.h for logo.
839						Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
840			CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO
841						additional board info beside
842						the logo
843
844		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
845		a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
846		erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
847
848		When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
849		default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
850		environment 'console=serial'.
851
852		When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
853		messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
854		the "silent" environment variable. See
855		doc/README.silent for more information.
856
857		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
858			is 0x00.
859		CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
860			is 0xa0.
861
862- Console Baudrate:
863		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
864		Select one of the baudrates listed in
865		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
866		CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
867
868- Console Rx buffer length
869		With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
870		the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
871		This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
872		If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
873		must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
874		the SMC.
875
876- Pre-Console Buffer:
877		Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
878		initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
879		Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
880		buffer any console messages prior to the console being
881		initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
882		bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
883		a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
884		bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
885		earlier bytes are discarded.
886
887		Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
888		stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
889
890		'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
891		CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
892
893- Autoboot Command:
894		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
895		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
896		define a command string that is automatically executed
897		when no character is read on the console interface
898		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
899
900		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
901		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
902		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
903		environment value "bootargs".
904
905		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
906		The value of these goes into the environment as
907		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
908		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
909		RAM and NFS.
910
911- Bootcount:
912		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
913		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
914		cycle, see:
915		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
916
917		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
918		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
919		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
920		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
921		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
922		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
923		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
924		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
925		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
926
927- Pre-Boot Commands:
928		CONFIG_PREBOOT
929
930		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
931		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
932		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
933		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
934		entering interactive mode.
935
936		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
937		automatically generated or modified. For an example
938		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
939		modified when the user holds down a certain
940		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
941		booting the systems
942
943- Serial Download Echo Mode:
944		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
945		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
946		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
947		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
948		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
949		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
950		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
951
952- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
953		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
954		Select one of the baudrates listed in
955		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
956
957- Monitor Functions:
958		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
959		from the build by using the #include files
960		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
961		commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
962
963		The default command configuration includes all commands
964		except those marked below with a "*".

1061		CONFIG_CMD_SOFTSWITCH	* Soft switch setting command for BF60x
1062		CONFIG_CMD_SOURCE	  "source" command Support
1063		CONFIG_CMD_SPI		* SPI serial bus support
1064		CONFIG_CMD_TFTPSRV	* TFTP transfer in server mode
1065		CONFIG_CMD_TFTPPUT	* TFTP put command (upload)

1073
1074		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
1075		support you can write:
1076
1077		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
1078		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
1079
1080	Other Commands:
1081		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
1082
1083	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
1084		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
1085		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1086		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1087		8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1088		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1089		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1090		initial stack and some data.
1091
1092
1093		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1094
1095- Removal of commands
1096		If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1097		CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1098		will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1099		boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1100		instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1101		simple boot procedures.
1102
1103- Regular expression support:
1104		CONFIG_REGEX
1105		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1106		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1107		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1108		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
1109
1110- Device tree:
1111		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1112		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1113		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1114		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1115		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1116		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1117
1118		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1119		be done using one of the two options below:
1120
1121		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1122		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1123		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1124		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1125		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1126		the global data structure as gd->blob.
1127
1128		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1129		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1130		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1131		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1132
1133			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1134
1135		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1136		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1137		still use the individual files if you need something more
1138		exotic.
1139
1140- Watchdog:
1141		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1142		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
1143		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1144		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1145		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1146		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
1147		available, then no further board specific code should
1148		be needed to use it.
1149
1150		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1151		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1152		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1153		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
1154
1155		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1156		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1157
1158- U-Boot Version:
1159		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1160		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1161		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1162		version as printed by the "version" command.
1163		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1164		next reset.
1165
1166- Real-Time Clock:
1167
1168		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
1169		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1170		following options:
1171
1172		CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx	- use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1173		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
1174		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
1175		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
1176		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
1177		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
1178		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
1179		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
1180		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
1181		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
1182		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
1183		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
1184		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
1185					  RV3029 RTC.
1186
1187		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1188		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1189
1190- GPIO Support:
1191		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
1192
1193		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1194		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1195		pins supported by a particular chip.
1196
1197		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1198		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1199
1200- I/O tracing:
1201		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1202		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1203		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1204		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1205		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1206		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1207		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1208		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1209
1210		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1211		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1212		still continue to operate.
1213
1214			iotrace is enabled
1215			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
1216			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
1217			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
1218			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
1219			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
1220			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
1221
1222- Timestamp Support:
1223
1224		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1225		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1226		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1227		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1228
1229- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1230		Zero or more of the following:
1231		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1232		CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION   MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1233				       Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1234		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1235		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1236				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1237				       disk/part_efi.c
1238		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1239
1240		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1241		CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1242		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1243
1244- IDE Reset method:
1245		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1246		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1247
1248		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1249		be performed by calling the function
1250			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1251		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1252
1253- ATAPI Support:
1254		CONFIG_ATAPI
1255
1256		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1257
1258- LBA48 Support
1259		CONFIG_LBA48
1260
1261		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1262		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1263		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1264		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1265
1266		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1267			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1268			Default is 32bit.
1269
1270- SCSI Support:
1271		At the moment only there is only support for the
1272		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1273		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1274
1275		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1276		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1277		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1278		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1279		devices.
1280		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)

1293
1294		CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1295		Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for

1365
1366			CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA
1367			Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY.
1368			Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY.

1370			wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or
1371			useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit
1372			control registers. This behavior won't affect the
1373			correctnessof 10/100 link speed update.
1374

1458		define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1459		and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1460		storage devices.
1461		Note:
1462		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1463		(TEAC FD-05PUB).
1464		MPC5200 USB requires additional defines:
1465			CONFIG_USB_CLOCK
1466				for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb
1467			CONFIG_PSC3_USB
1468				for USB on PSC3
1469			CONFIG_USB_CONFIG

1483
1484- USB Device:
1485		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1486		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1487		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1488		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1489		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1490		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1491		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1492		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1493		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1494		a Linux host by
1495		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1496		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1497		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1498		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1499
1500			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1501			Define this to build a UDC device
1502
1503			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1504			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1505			talk to the UDC device
1506
1507			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1508			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1509			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1510			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1511			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1512			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1513			speed.
1514
1515			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1516			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1517			be set to usbtty.
1518
1519			mpc8xx:
1520				CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH

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

2268		    bus.
2269		  - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define

2381
2382		additional defines:
2383
2384		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2385		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use. If you
2386		don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2387		is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2388		omit this define.
2389
2390		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2391		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2392		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2393		omit this define.
2394
2395		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2396		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2397		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2398		define.
2399
2400		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2401		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2402		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2403		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2404		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2405
2406		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2407					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2408					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2409					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2410					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2411					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2412					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \

2414					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \

2416
2417		which defines

2428		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2429
2430- Legacy I2C Support:	CONFIG_HARD_I2C
2431
2432		NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2433		provides the following compelling advantages:
2434
2435		- more than one i2c adapter is usable
2436		- approved multibus support
2437		- better i2c mux support
2438
2439		** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2440
2441		These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2442		CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2443		for the selected CPU.
2444
2445		This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
2446		command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
2447		CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2448		clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
2449		command line interface.
2450
2451		CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
2452
2453		There are several other quantities that must also be
2454		defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2455
2456		In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
2457		to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
2458		to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
2459		the CPU's i2c node address).
2460
2461		Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
2462		(arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
2463		and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2464		eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2465		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
2466
2467		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2468
2469		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2470		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2471		in progress.  Reset the slave devices by sending start
2472		commands until the slave device responds.
2473
2474		That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
2475
2476		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2477		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2478		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2479
2480		I2C_INIT
2481
2482		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2483		controller or configure ports.
2484
2485		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2486
2487		I2C_PORT
2488
2489		(Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2490		assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2491		are 0..3 for ports A..D.
2492
2493		I2C_ACTIVE
2494
2495		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2496		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2497		define can be null.
2498
2499		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2500
2501		I2C_TRISTATE
2502
2503		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2504		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2505		define can be null.
2506
2507		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2508
2509		I2C_READ
2510
2511		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2512		false if it is low.
2513
2514		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2515
2516		I2C_SDA(bit)
2517
2518		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2519		is false, it clears it (low).
2520
2521		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2522			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2523			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2524
2525		I2C_SCL(bit)
2526
2527		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2528		is false, it clears it (low).
2529
2530		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2531			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2532			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2533
2534		I2C_DELAY
2535
2536		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2537		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2538		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2539		like:
2540
2541		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2542
2543		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2544
2545		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2546		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2547		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2548		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2549
2550		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2551		the generic GPIO functions.
2552
2553		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2554
2555		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2556		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2557		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2558		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2559		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2560		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2561		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2562		is run early in the boot sequence.
2563
2564		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2565
2566		An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2567		defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2568		boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2569		is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2570		using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2571		controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2572		i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2573		controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2574
2575		CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2576
2577		This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2578		in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2579		variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2580
2581		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2582
2583		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2584		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2585		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2586		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2587
2588		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2589
2590		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2591		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2592		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2593		a 1D array of device addresses
2594
2595		e.g.
2596			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2597			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2598
2599		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2600
2601			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2602			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2603
2604		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2605
2606		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2607
2608		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2609		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2610
2611		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2612
2613		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2614		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2615
2616		CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
2617
2618		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2619		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2620
2621		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
2622
2623		If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2624		If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2625		specified DTT device.
2626
2627		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2628
2629		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2630		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2631		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2632		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2633		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2634		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2635		the other.
2636
2637- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2638
2639		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2640		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2641		D/As on the SACSng board)
2642
2643		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2644
2645		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2646		only SH7757 is supported.
2647
2648		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2649
2650		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2651		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2652		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2653		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2654		defined, the board configuration must define several
2655		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2656		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2657
2658		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2659
2660		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2661		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2662		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2663		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2664		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2665
2666		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2667
2668		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2669		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2670
2671		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2672		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2673		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2674
2675- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2676
2677		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2678
2679		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2680
2681		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2682		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2683
2684		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2685
2686		Enables support for FPGA family.
2687		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2688
2689		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2690
2691		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2692
2693		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK
2694
2695		Enable support for fpga loadmk command
2696
2697		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP
2698
2699		Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream
2700
2701		CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP
2702
2703		Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream
2704		(Xilinx only)
2705
2706		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2707
2708		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2709
2710		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2711
2712		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2713		status by the configuration function. This option
2714		will require a board or device specific function to
2715		be written.
2716
2717		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2718
2719		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2720		configuration driver.
2721
2722		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2723		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2724
2725		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2726
2727		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2728		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2729		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2730		indicated a CRC error).
2731
2732		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2733
2734		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2735		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2736		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2737		ms.
2738
2739		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2740
2741		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2742		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2743
2744		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2745
2746		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2747		200 ms.
2748
2749- Configuration Management:
2750		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2751
2752		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2753		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2754		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2755		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2756		make / MAKEALL.
2757
2758		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2759
2760		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2761		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2762
2763- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2764
2765		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2766		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2767		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2768		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2769		protects these variables from casual modification by
2770		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2771		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2772		change this behaviour:
2773
2774		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2775		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2776		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2777		these parameters.
2778
2779		Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2780		default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2781		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2782		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2783		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2784		read-only.]
2785
2786		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2787		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2788		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2789		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2790
2791- Protected RAM:
2792		CONFIG_PRAM
2793
2794		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2795		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2796		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2797		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2798		this default value by defining an environment
2799		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2800		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2801		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2802		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2803		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2804		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2805		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2806
2807			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2808			saveenv
2809
2810		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2811		either, which results in a memory region that will
2812		not be affected by reboots.
2813
2814		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2815		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2816		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2817		following board configurations are known to be
2818		"pRAM-clean":
2819
2820			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
2821			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2822			FLAGADM, TQM8260
2823
2824- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2825		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2826		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2827		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2828		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2829		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2830		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2831
2832- Error Recovery:
2833		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2834
2835		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2836		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2837		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2838		system where you want the system to reboot
2839		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2840		useful during development since you can try to debug
2841		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2842
2843		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2844
2845		This variable defines the number of retries for
2846		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2847		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2848		default value of 5 is used.
2849
2850		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2851
2852		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2853
2854		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2855
2856		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2857		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2858		try longer timeout such as
2859		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2860
2861- Command Interpreter:
2862		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2863
2864		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2865
2866		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2867
2868		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2869		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2870		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2871
2872	Note:
2873
2874		In the current implementation, the local variables
2875		space and global environment variables space are
2876		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2877		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2878		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2879		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2880		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2881
2882		Global environment variables are those you use
2883		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2884		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2885		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2886
2887		To store commands and special characters in a
2888		variable, please use double quotation marks
2889		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2890		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2891		symbols.
2892
2893- Command Line Editing and History:
2894		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2895
2896		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2897		command line input operations
2898
2899- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2900		CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2901
2902		Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2903		at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2904		The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2905		and PS2.
2906
2907- Default Environment:
2908		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2909
2910		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2911		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2912		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2913
2914		For example, place something like this in your
2915		board's config file:
2916
2917		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2918			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2919			"myvar2=value2\0"
2920
2921		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2922		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2923		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2924		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2925		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2926		You better know what you are doing here.
2927
2928		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2929		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2930		the environment like the "source" command or the
2931		boot command first.
2932
2933		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2934
2935		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2936		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2937		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2938
2939		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2940
2941		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2942		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2943		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2944		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2945		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2946
2947		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2948
2949		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2950		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2951		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2952
2953		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2954
2955		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2956		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2957		that so that the environment is not available until
2958		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2959		this is instead controlled by the value of
2960		/config/load-environment.
2961
2962- Parallel Flash support:
2963		CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2964
2965		Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
2966		flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2967		flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2968		parallel flash.
2969
2970		If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2971		(e.g.  CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2972		selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2973		flash API (see include/flash.h).
2974
2975- DataFlash Support:
2976		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2977
2978		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2979		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2980		commands cp, md...
2981
2982- Serial Flash support
2983		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2984
2985		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2986		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2987
2988		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2989		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2990		commands.
2991
2992		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2993		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2994		flash is present on the system.
2995
2996		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2997		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2998		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2999		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
3000
3001		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3002
3003		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3004		test ('sf test').
3005
3006		CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH		Dual flash memories
3007
3008		Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3009		memories can be connected with a given cs line.
3010		Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
3011
3012- SystemACE Support:
3013		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3014
3015		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3016		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
3017		of the chip must also be defined in the
3018		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
3019
3020		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3021		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
3022
3023		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3024		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3025
3026- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3027		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3028
3029		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
3030		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
3031		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
3032		number generator is used.
3033
3034		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3035		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
3036		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3037
3038		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
3039		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3040		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3041		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3042		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3043		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3044		but sometimes that is not allowed.
3045
3046- Hashing support:
3047		CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3048
3049		This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3050		hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3051
3052		CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3053
3054		Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3055		size a little.
3056
3057		CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3058		algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3059		CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3060		SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3061		CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3062		for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3063		This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3064		hash_lookup_algo() function.
3065		CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3066		hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3067		Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3068		is performed in hardware.
3069
3070		Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3071		be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3072
3073- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3074		CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3075		This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3076		HDMI monitor is detected.  This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3077
3078		CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3079		This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3080		a boot from specific media.
3081
3082		This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3083		activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3084		on U-Boot.  Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3085		will set it back to normal.  This command currently
3086		supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3087
3088- bootcount support:
3089		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3090
3091		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3092		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3093
3094		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3095		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3096		CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3097		enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3098		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3099		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3100		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3101		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3102		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3103		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3104			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3105			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3106						    the bootcounter.
3107			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
3108
3109- Show boot progress:
3110		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3111
3112		Defining this option allows to add some board-
3113		specific code (calling a user-provided function
3114		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3115		the system's boot progress on some display (for
3116		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3117		the following checkpoints are implemented:
3118

3272
3273- legacy image format:
3274		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
3275		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
3276
3277		Default:
3278		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3279
3280		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3281		disable the legacy image format
3282
3283		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
3284		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
3285
3286- FIT image support:
3287		CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256
3288		Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size.
3289		For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled
3290		with this option.
3291
3292		TODO(sjg@chromium.org): Adjust this option to be positive,
3293		and move it to Kconfig
3294
3295- Standalone program support:
3296		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3297
3298		This option defines a board specific value for the
3299		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3300		overwriting the architecture dependent default
3301		settings.
3302
3303- Frame Buffer Address:
3304		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
3305
3306		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
3307		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
3308		when using a graphics controller has separate video
3309		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3310		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3311		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3312		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3313		configured panel size.
3314
3315		Please see board_init_f function.
3316
3317- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
3318		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
3319		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
3320		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
3321
3322		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
3323		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
3324
3325- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3326		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3327
3328		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3329		Needed for mtdparts command support.
3330
3331		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3332
3333		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3334		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3335
3336- UBI support
3337		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3338
3339		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3340		with the UBI flash translation layer
3341
3342		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3343
3344		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3345
3346		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
3347		warnings and errors enabled.
3348
3349
3350		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3351		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3352		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3353		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3354		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3355		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3356
3357		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3358		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3359		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3360		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3361		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3362
3363		default: 4096
3364
3365		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3366		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3367		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3368		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3369		flash), this value is ignored.
3370
3371		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3372		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3373		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3374		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3375		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3376		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3377
3378		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3379		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3380		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3381		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3382		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3383		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3384		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3385		partition.
3386
3387		default: 20
3388
3389		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3390		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3391		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3392		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3393		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3394		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3395		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3396		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3397		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3398		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3399		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3400		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3401
3402		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3403		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3404		without a fastmap.
3405		default: 0
3406
3407		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3408		Enable UBI fastmap debug
3409		default: 0
3410
3411- UBIFS support
3412		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3413
3414		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3415		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3416
3417		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3418
3419		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
3420
3421		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
3422		warnings and errors enabled.
3423
3424- SPL framework
3425		CONFIG_SPL
3426		Enable building of SPL globally.
3427
3428		CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
3429		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
3430
3431		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
3432		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
3433		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
3434		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3435		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3436		must not be both defined at the same time.
3437
3438		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
3439		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
3440		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
3441		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
3442		not exceed it.
3443
3444		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
3445		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
3446
3447		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
3448		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3449		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
3450
3451		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
3452		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
3453
3454		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3455		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
3456		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
3457		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
3458		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
3459		must not be both defined at the same time.
3460
3461		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
3462		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
3463
3464		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3465		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3466		loaded does not have a signature.
3467		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3468		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3469		will be caught.
3470		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3471		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3472		and thus should be skipped silently.
3473
3474		CONFIG_SPL_ABORT_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3475		When defined, SPL will proceed to another boot method
3476		if the image it has loaded does not have a signature.
3477
3478		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
3479		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
3480		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
3481		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
3482
3483		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
3484		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3485		When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
3486		it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
3487		can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
3488
3489		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
3490		The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
3491
3492		CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
3493		Enable the SPL framework under common/.  This framework
3494		supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
3495		NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
3496
3497		CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
3498		Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
3499		See also: doc/README.falcon
3500
3501		CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
3502		For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
3503		about the running system.
3504
3505		CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL

3525		Address and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from
3526		when the MMC is being used in raw mode.
3527
3528		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION
3529		Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being
3530		used in raw mode
3531
3532		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR
3533		Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being
3534		used in raw mode (for Falcon mode)
3535
3536		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR,
3537		CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS

3553		Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem
3554
3555		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME
3556		Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading
3557		from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3558
3559		CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME
3560		Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters
3561		when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode)
3562
3563		CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND
3564		Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that
3565		start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before
3566		continuing (the hardware starts execution after just
3567		loading the first page rather than the full 4K).
3568
3569		CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE
3570		Avoid SPL relocation
3571
3572		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE
3573		Include nand_base.c in the SPL.  Requires

3580		Include standard software ECC in the SPL
3581
3582		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE

3584		expose the cmd_ctrl() interface.
3585
3586		CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT
3587		Support for the MTD subsystem within SPL.  Useful for
3588		environment on NAND support within SPL.
3589
3590		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY
3591		Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only
3592		if you need to save space.
3593
3594		CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT
3595		Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for
3596		drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary.
3597
3598		CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR
3599		Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in
3600		SPL binary.
3601
3602		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT,
3603		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE,
3604		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS,
3605		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE,
3606		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES
3607		Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses
3608		to read U-Boot
3609
3610		CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT

3620		Size of image to load
3621
3622		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START
3623		Entry point in loaded image to jump to
3624
3625		CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST
3626		Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the
3627		data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms.
3628
3629		CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND
3630		Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the
3631		ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present.
3632
3633		CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT
3634		Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary
3635
3636		CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT
3637		Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary
3638
3639		CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT
3640		Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary
3641
3642		CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE
3643		Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary
3644
3645		CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT
3646		Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary
3647
3648		CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT
3649		Support for the environment operating in SPL binary
3650
3651		CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT
3652		Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary.
3653		It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by
3654		CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE
3655
3656		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
3657		Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3658		the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3659		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3660		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3661		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3662
3663		CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3664		Final target image containing SPL and payload.  Some SPLs
3665		use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3666		example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3667
3668		CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3669		Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3670		code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3671		option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3672		bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3673
3674- TPL framework
3675		CONFIG_TPL
3676		Enable building of TPL globally.
3677
3678		CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3679		Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3680		the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3681		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3682		CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3683		payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
3684
3685- Interrupt support (PPC):
3686
3687		There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3688		for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
3689		for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
3690		should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
3691		CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
3692		(ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
3693		timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
3694		specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3695		/ other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3696		general timer_interrupt().
3697
3698
3699Board initialization settings:
3700------------------------------
3701
3702During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3703to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3704before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3705following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3706architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3707typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().
3708
3709- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f()
3710- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r()
3711- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init()
3712- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init()
3713
3714Configuration Settings:
3715-----------------------
3716
3717- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit.
3718		Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands.
3719
3720- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included;
3721		undefine this when you're short of memory.
3722
3723- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default
3724		width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output.
3725
3726- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT:	This is what U-Boot prints on the console to
3727		prompt for user input.
3728
3729- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE:	Buffer size for input from the Console
3730
3731- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE:	Buffer size for Console output
3732
3733- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS:	max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands
3734
3735- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to
3736		the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is
3737		booted
3738
3739- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE:
3740		List of legal baudrate settings for this board.
3741
3742- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET
3743		Suppress display of console information at boot.
3744
3745- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
3746		If the board specific function
3747			extern int overwrite_console (void);
3748		returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
3749		serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3750
3751- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
3752		Enable the call to overwrite_console().
3753
3754- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE
3755		Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings.
3756
3757- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
3758		Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3759		simple memory test.
3760
3761- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
3762		Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
3763
3764- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
3765		Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3766		You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3767
3768- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
3769		Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
3770		If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3771		is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3772		This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3773		gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3774		the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3775		this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3776
3777- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
3778		If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
3779		this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
3780		(end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
3781		fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3782		the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3783		This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
3784		board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
3785		recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
3786		will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
3787
3788		This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3789		CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3790		be touched.
3791
3792		WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3793		the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3794		then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3795		non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3796		problems.
3797
3798- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:
3799		Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download
3800
3801- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
3802		Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3803
3804- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE:
3805		Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a
3806		Cogent motherboard)
3807
3808- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
3809		Physical start address of Flash memory.
3810
3811- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
3812		Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3813		make config files to be same as the text base address
3814		(CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
3815		CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
3816
3817- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
3818		Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3819		determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3820		embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3821		flash sector.
3822
3823- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
3824		Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3825
3826- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3827		Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3828		this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3829		will become available before relocation. The address is just
3830		below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3831		space.
3832
3833		This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3834		within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3835		is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3836		The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
3837		U-Boot relocates itself.
3838
3839		Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
3840		at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3841
3842- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3843		Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3844		boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3845		enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3846
3847- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3848		Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3849		typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3850		uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3851		otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3852		some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3853		cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3854		are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3855		cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3856		if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3857		size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3858		one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3859		written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3860		happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3861		buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3862		16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3863
3864		Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3865
3866- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
3867		Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3868		uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
3869		you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
3870		to adjust this setting to your needs.
3871
3872- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
3873		Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3874		the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
3875		the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3876		used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
3877		environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
3878		all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
3879		and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.	 The environment
3880		variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3881		CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.  If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3882		then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
3883
3884- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3885		Enable initrd_high functionality.  If defined then the
3886		initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3887		is enabled.
3888
3889- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3890		Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3891		"bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3892
3893- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3894		Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3895		space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3896
3897- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS:
3898		Max number of Flash memory banks
3899
3900- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT:
3901		Max number of sectors on a Flash chip
3902
3903- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT:
3904		Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms)
3905
3906- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT:
3907		Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms)
3908
3909- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT
3910		Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms)
3911
3912- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT
3913		Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms)
3914
3915- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION
3916		If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3917		instead of U-Boot software protection.
3918
3919- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
3920
3921		Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3922		without this option such a download has to be
3923		performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3924		copy from RAM to flash.
3925
3926		The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3927		you can check if the download worked before you erase
3928		the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3929		too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
3930		downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3931
3932- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:
3933		Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the
3934		common flash structure for storing flash geometry.
3935
3936- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER
3937		This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver
3938		in the drivers directory
3939
3940- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3941		This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3942		in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3943		to the MTD layer.
3944
3945- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE
3946		Use buffered writes to flash.
3947
3948- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N
3949		s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered
3950		write commands.
3951
3952- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST
3953		If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3954		print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3955		is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3956		optionally available.
3957
3958- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3959		If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3960		digits and dots.  Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3961		column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3962
3963- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3964		If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3965		against the source after the write operation. An error message
3966		will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3967		Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3968		since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3969		while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3970		this option if you really know what you are doing.
3971
3972- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
3973		Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3974		Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
3975		to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3976		buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
3977		on high Ethernet traffic.
3978		Defaults to 4 if not defined.
3979
3980- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES
3981
3982	Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used
3983	internally to store the environment settings. The default
3984	setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most
3985	cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see
3986	lib/hashtable.c for details.
3987
3988- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
3989- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3990	Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
3991	calling env set.  Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3992	hexadecimal, or boolean.  If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3993	the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3994
3995	The format of the list is:
3996		type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
3997		access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]
3998		attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute]
3999		entry = variable_name[:attributes]
4000		list = entry[,list]
4001
4002	The type attributes are:
4003		s - String (default)
4004		d - Decimal
4005		x - Hexadecimal
4006		b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF])
4007		i - IP address
4008		m - MAC address
4009
4010	The access attributes are:
4011		a - Any (default)
4012		r - Read-only
4013		o - Write-once
4014		c - Change-default
4015
4016	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT
4017		Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags"
4018		environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4019
4020	- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4021		Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4022		should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4023		environment variable.  To override a setting in the static
4024		list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4025		".flags" variable.
4026
4027	If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4028	regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
4029	flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.
4030
4031- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE
4032	If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable
4033	access flags.
4034
4035- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4036	This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4037	be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
4038	the value can be calculated on a given board.
4039
4040- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4041	If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4042	option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4043	building U-Boot to enable this.
4044
4045The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4046of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4047following configurations:
4048
4049- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4050
4051	Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4052	may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4053
4054- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
4055
4056	Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4057
4058	a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4059	   "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4060	   happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4061	   sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4062	   sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4063	   layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4064	   such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4065	   4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4066	   "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4067	   environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4068	   between U-Boot and the environment.
4069
4070	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4071
4072	   Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4073	   beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4074	   type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4075	   for this sector is given here.
4076
4077	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
4078
4079	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4080
4081	   This is just another way to specify the start address of
4082	   the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
4083	   CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
4084
4085	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4086
4087	   Size of the sector containing the environment.
4088
4089
4090	b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4091	   In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4092	   the environment.
4093
4094	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4095
4096	   If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
4097	   and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
4098	   of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4099	   memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4100
4101	   It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4102	   when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4103	   since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4104	   for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4105	   STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4106	   updating the environment in flash makes it always
4107	   necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4108	   wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4109	   RAM, your target system will be dead.
4110
4111	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4112	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
4113
4114	   These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
4115	   a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
4116	   a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
4117	   a "saveenv" operation.
4118
4119BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4120source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4121accordingly!
4122
4123
4124- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
4125
4126	Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4127	(NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4128	environment.
4129
4130	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4131	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4132
4133	  These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
4134	  want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4135	  can just be read and written to, without any special
4136	  provision.
4137
4138BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4139in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
4140console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
4141U-Boot will hang.
4142
4143Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4144environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4145keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4146to save the current settings.
4147
4148
4149- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
4150
4151	Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4152	device and a driver for it.
4153
4154	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4155	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4156
4157	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4158	  environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4159
4160	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
4161	  If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4162	  The default address is zero.
4163
4164	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4165	  If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4166
4167	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
4168	  If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4169	  single page in the EEPROM device.  A 64 byte page, for example
4170	  would require six bits.
4171
4172	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
4173	  If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
4174	  page writes.	The default is zero milliseconds.
4175
4176	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
4177	  The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address.  Note
4178	  that this is NOT the chip address length!
4179
4180	- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
4181	  EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4182	  like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4183	  address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4184	  slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4185	  byte chips.
4186
4187	  Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4188	  still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4189	  in the chip address.
4190
4191	- CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
4192	  The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4193
4194	- CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4195	  define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4196	  EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4197
4198	- CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4199	  if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4200	  I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4201	  EEPROM. For example:
4202
4203	  #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS	  1
4204
4205	  EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4206	  a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
4207
4208- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
4209
4210	Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
4211	want to use for the environment.
4212
4213	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4214	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4215	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4216
4217	  These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4218	  environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4219	  at the specified address.
4220
4221- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4222
4223	Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4224	want to use for the environment.
4225
4226	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4227	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4228
4229	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4230	  environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4231	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4232
4233	- CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4234
4235	  Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4236
4237	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4238
4239	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4240	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4241	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4242	  during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4243	  aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4244
4245	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4246	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4247
4248	  Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4249
4250	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4251
4252	  Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4253
4254	- CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4255
4256	  Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4257
4258- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4259
4260	Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4261	want to use for the local device's environment.
4262
4263	- CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4264	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4265
4266	  These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4267	  environment area within the remote memory space. The
4268	  local device can get the environment from remote memory
4269	  space by SRIO or PCIE links.
4270
4271BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4272"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
4273environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4274but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
4275
4276- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
4277
4278	Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4279	for the environment.
4280
4281	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4282	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4283
4284	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4285	  area within the first NAND device.  CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4286	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4287
4288	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4289
4290	  This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4291	  size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4292	  that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4293	  during a "saveenv" operation.	 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4294	  aligned to an erase block boundary.
4295
4296	- CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4297
4298	  Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4299	  can be written.  This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4300	  block size.  Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4301	  are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4302	  the range to be avoided.
4303
4304	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4305
4306	  Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4307	  environment from block zero's out-of-band data.  The
4308	  "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4309	  Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4310	  using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
4311
4312- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4313
4314	Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4315	environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4316	CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4317
4318- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4319
4320	Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4321	environment.  This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4322	accesses, which is important on NAND.
4323
4324	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4325
4326	  Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4327
4328	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4329
4330	  Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4331	  environment in.
4332
4333	- CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4334
4335	  Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4336	  the environment in.  This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4337	  It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4338
4339	- CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4340	- CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4341
4342	  You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4343	  when storing the env in UBI.
4344
4345- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4346       Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4347
4348       - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4349
4350         Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4351
4352       - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4353
4354         Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4355         be as following:
4356
4357           "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4358               - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4359                        partition table.
4360               - "D:0": device D.
4361               - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4362                              table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4363                              table.
4364               - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4365                           If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
4366                           partition table then means device D.
4367
4368       - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4369
4370         It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4371         environment.
4372
4373       - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4374         This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
4375
4376- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4377
4378	Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4379	environment.
4380
4381	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4382
4383	  Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4384
4385	- CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4386
4387	  Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4388	  set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4389	  1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4390
4391	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4392	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4393
4394	  These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4395	  area within the specified MMC device.
4396
4397	  If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4398	  the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4399	  as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4400	  your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4401	  different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4402	  environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4403	  maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4404
4405	  These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4406	  MMC sector boundary.
4407
4408	- CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4409
4410	  Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4411	  hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4412	  valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4413	  to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4414
4415	  This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4416	  same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4417
4418	  This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4419	  an MMC sector boundary.
4420
4421	- CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4422
4423	  This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4424	  set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4425	  CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4426
4427- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
4428
4429	Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4430	area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4431	is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4432	scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4433	calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4434	to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4435	start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4436
4437Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
4438has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
4439created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
4440until then to read environment variables.
4441
4442The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4443is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4444with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4445necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4446"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4447have any device yet where we could complain.]
4448
4449Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4450the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
4451use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.
4452
4453- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN:
4454		Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED.
4455
4456		Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
4457		      also needs to be defined.
4458
4459- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
4460		MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.
4461
4462- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4463		Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4464		and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4465		drivers/serial/ns16550.c.  This option is useful for saving
4466		space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4467		limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4468
4469- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4470		Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4471		when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4472		to do this.
4473
4474- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4475		Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4476		later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4477		present.
4478
4479- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4480		Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4481		build system checks that the actual size does not
4482		exceed it.
4483
4484Low Level (hardware related) configuration options:
4485---------------------------------------------------
4486
4487- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE:
4488		Cache Line Size of the CPU.
4489
4490- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
4491		Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
4492
4493		Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4494		and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4495		the IMMR register after a reset.
4496
4497- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4498		Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4499		PowerPC SOCs.
4500
4501- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4502		Virtual address of CCSR.  On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4503		the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4504
4505		CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4506		for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4507
4508- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4509		Physical address of CCSR.  CCSR can be relocated to a new
4510		physical address, if desired.  In this case, this macro should
4511		be set to that address.	 Otherwise, it should be set to the
4512		same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.  For example, CCSR
4513		is typically relocated on 36-bit builds.  It is recommended
4514		that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4515
4516		#define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4517			* 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4518
4519- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
4520		Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.	This value is typically
4521		either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build).	This macro is
4522		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4523		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4524
4525- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4526		Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS.  This macro is
4527		used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4528		integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4529
4530- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4531		If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4532		forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.
4533
4534- Floppy Disk Support:
4535		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER
4536
4537		the default drive number (default value 0)
4538
4539		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE
4540
4541		defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers
4542		(default value 1)
4543
4544		CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET
4545
4546		defines the offset of register from address. It
4547		depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
4548		the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
4549
4550		If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4551		CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
4552		default value.
4553
4554		if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
4555		fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4556		setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4557		source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent
4558		initializations.
4559
4560- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4561		Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4562		interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4563		When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4564		IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4565		registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4566		is required.
4567
4568- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR:	Physical address of the Internal Memory.
4569		DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're
4570		doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only]
4571
4572- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR:
4573
4574		Start address of memory area that can be used for
4575		initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4576		writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4577		initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4578		will become available only after programming the
4579		memory controller and running certain initialization
4580		sequences.
4581
4582		U-Boot uses the following memory types:
4583		- MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU)
4584		- MPC824X: data cache
4585		- PPC4xx:  data cache
4586
4587- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET:
4588
4589		Offset of the initial data structure in the memory
4590		area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4591		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
4592		data is located at the end of the available space
4593		(sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
4594		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4595		below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4596		CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
4597
4598	Note:
4599		On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4600		cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
4601		CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
4602		point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4603		the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.
4604

4651		define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4]
4652
4653- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK:
4654		Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful,
4655		wrong setting might damage your board. Read
4656		doc/README.MBX before setting this variable!
4657
4658- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only)
4659		Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post
4660		(Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides
4661		#define'd default value in commproc.h resp.
4662		cpm_8260.h.
4663
4664- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB,
4665  CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL,

4671  CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only)
4672		Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set.
4673
4674- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE:
4675		Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not
4676		required.
4677
4678- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY
4679		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
4680		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
4681		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
4682		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
4683		by coreboot or similar.
4684
4685- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
4686		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
4687
4688- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
4689		Chip has SRIO or not
4690
4691- CONFIG_SRIO1:
4692		Board has SRIO 1 port available
4693

4695		Board has SRIO 2 port available
4696
4697- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER
4698		Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE
4699

4706- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4707		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4708
4709- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4710		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4711		a 16 bit bus.
4712		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4713		Example of drivers that use it:
4714		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4715		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4716
4717- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4718		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4719		a default value will be used.
4720
4721- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4722		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4723		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4724
4725  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4726		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4727
4728- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4729		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4730		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4731		to something your driver can deal with.
4732
4733- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4734		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4735		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4736		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4737		header files or board specific files.
4738
4739- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4740		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4741
4742- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4743		Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4744
4745- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4746		Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4747
4748- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4749		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4750		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4751
4752- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4753		Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4754
4755- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4756		Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
4757		to the given FEC; i. e.
4758			#define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
4759		means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4760
4761		When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4762
4763- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4764		The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4765		(so program the FEC to ignore it).
4766
4767- CONFIG_RMII
4768		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4769		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4770		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4771
4772- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4773		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4774		The syntax is:
4775
4776		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4777
4778		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4779		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4780		area should have.
4781
4782- CONFIG_LOOPW
4783		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4784		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4785
4786- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4787		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4788		"md/mw" commands.
4789		Examples:
4790
4791		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4792		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4793
4794		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4795		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4796
4797		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4798		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4799
4800- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4801		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4802		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4803		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4804		relocate itself into RAM.
4805
4806		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4807		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4808		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4809		these initializations itself.
4810
4811- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4812		[ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4813		to be skipped. The normal CPU15 init (such as enabling the
4814		instruction cache) is still performed.
4815
4816- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4817		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4818		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4819		compiling a NAND SPL.
4820
4821- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4822		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4823		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4824		It is loaded by the SPL.
4825
4826- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4827		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4828		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4829		previous 4k of the .text section.
4830
4831- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4832		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4833		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4834		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4835		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4836		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4837		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4838		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4839
4840- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4841  CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4842		If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4843		be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4844		conditions but may increase the binary size.
4845
4846- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4847		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4848		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4849
4850- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4851		Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4852
4853		NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
4854
4855- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4856		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4857
4858- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4859		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4860		driver that uses this:
4861		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4862
4863Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4864-----------------------------------
4865
4866The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4867loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4868This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4869are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4870within that device.
4871
4872- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4873	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
4874	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4875	is also specified.
4876
4877- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4878	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
4879	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4880	is also specified.
4881
4882- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4883	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4884	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4885	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4886	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4887
4888- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4889	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4890	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4891	virtual address in NOR flash.
4892
4893- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4894	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4895	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4896
4897- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4898	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4899	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4900
4901- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4902	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4903	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4904
4905- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4906	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4907	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4908	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4909	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4910	master's memory space.
4911
4912Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4913---------------------------------------------------------
4914The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4915"firmware".
4916This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4917are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4918within that device.
4919
4920- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4921	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4922
4923- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4924	The address in the storage device where the firmware is located.  The
4925	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4926	is also specified.
4927
4928- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4929	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4930	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4931	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4932	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4933
4934- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4935	Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4936	normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4937	virtual address in NOR flash.
4938
4939Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4940-------------------------------------------
4941The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4942"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4943This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4944
4945- CONFIG_FSL_DEBUG_SERVER
4946	Enable the Debug Server for Layerscape SoCs.
4947
4948- CONFIG_SYS_DEBUG_SERVER_DRAM_BLOCK_MIN_SIZE
4949	Define minimum DDR size required for debug server image
4950
4951- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4952	Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4953
4954Reproducible builds
4955-------------------
4956
4957In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4958process have to be set to a fixed value.
4959
4960This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4961SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4962option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4963
4964SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4965
4966Building the Software:
4967======================
4968
4969Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4970and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4971all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4972(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4973recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4974which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4975
4976If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4977have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4978you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4979Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4980necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4981
4982	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4983	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
4984
4985Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4986      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4987      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4988      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
4989
4990       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4991
4992      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4993      be executed on computers running Windows.
4994
4995U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4996sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4997is done by typing:
4998
4999	make NAME_defconfig
5000
5001where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
5002rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
5003
5004Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5005      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5006      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5007      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
5008      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
5009
5010      make TQM823L_defconfig
5011	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
5012
5013      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
5014	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
5015
5016      etc.
5017
5018
5019Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5020images ready for download to / installation on your system:
5021
5022- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5023- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5024- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
5025
5026By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5027in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5028this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5029
50301. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5031
5032	make O=/tmp/build distclean
5033	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
5034	make O=/tmp/build all
5035
50362. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
5037
5038	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
5039	make distclean
5040	make NAME_defconfig
5041	make all
5042
5043Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
5044variable.
5045
5046
5047Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5048for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5049native "make".
5050
5051
5052If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5053to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5054steps:
5055
50561.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5057    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5058    the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
50592.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5060    your board.
50613.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5062    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
50634.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
50645.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5065    to be installed on your target system.
50666.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5067    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
5068
5069
5070Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5071==============================================================
5072
5073If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5074or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
5075provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5076the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
5077official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
5078
5079But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5080cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
5081the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5082just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
5083for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5084select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5085environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5086you can type
5087
5088	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5089
5090or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
5091
5092	CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
5093
5094When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5095U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5096setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5097built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5098<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5099location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5100variable. For example:
5101
5102	export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5103	export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5104	CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5105
5106With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5107log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5108during the whole build process.

5165
5166TODO.
5167
5168For now: just type "help <command>".
5169
5170
5171Environment Variables:
5172======================
5173
5174U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5175can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
5176
5177Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5178"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5179without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5180environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5181working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5182environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
5183
5184Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5185
5186List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
5187
5188  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
5189
5190  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
5191
5192  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
5193
5194  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
5195
5196  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
5197
5198  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5199		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5200		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5201		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5202		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5203		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
5204		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5205		  bootm_mapsize.
5206
5207  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
5208		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5209		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5210		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5211		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5212		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5213		  used otherwise.
5214
5215  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5216		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5217		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5218		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5219		  environment variable.
5220
5221  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5222		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5223		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5224
5225  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5226		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5227		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5228		  load any image using TFTP
5229
5230  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5231		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5232		  be automatically started (by internally calling
5233		  "bootm")
5234
5235		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5236		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5237		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5238		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5239		  data.
5240
5241  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5242		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
5243		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5244		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5245		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5246		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5247		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5248		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5249		  access it during the boot procedure.
5250
5251		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5252		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
5253		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5254		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5255		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5256		  must be accessible by the kernel.
5257
5258  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5259		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5260		  defined.
5261
5262  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5263		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5264		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5265		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5266		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
5267
5268  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
5269		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5270		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5271		  is usually what you want since it allows for
5272		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5273		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
5274		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
5275		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5276		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5277		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5278		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
5279
5280		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5281		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5282		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5283		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5284		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5285		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
5286
5287		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
5288
5289		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5290		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5291		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5292		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5293		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5294		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
5295		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
5296
5297  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5298
5299  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
5300		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
5301
5302  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
5303
5304  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
5305
5306  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
5307
5308  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
5309
5310  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
5311
5312  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
5313
5314  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
5315		  For example you can do the following
5316
5317		  => setenv ethact FEC
5318		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5319		  => setenv ethact SCC
5320		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
5321
5322  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5323		  available network interfaces.
5324		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5325
5326  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
5327		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
5328		  When set to "once" the network operation will
5329		  fail when all the available network interfaces
5330		  are tried once without success.
5331		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5332		  themselves.
5333
5334  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
5335
5336  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
5337		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5338		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5339		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5340		  is silent.
5341
5342  tftpsrcp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
5343		  UDP source port.
5344
5345  tftpdstp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5346		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5347
5348  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5349		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
5350
5351  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5352		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5353		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5354		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5355		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5356		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5357		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
5358
5359  tftptimeoutcountmax	- maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5360		  unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5361		  can happen during a single file transfer before that
5362		  transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5363		  'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5364		  downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5365		  unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5366
5367  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
5368		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
5369		  VLAN tagged frames.
5370
5371  bootpretryperiod	- Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
5372		  Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5373		  be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5374		  CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5375		  precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
5376
5377The following image location variables contain the location of images
5378used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5379not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5380variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5381server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5382loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5383flash or offset in NAND flash.
5384
5385*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5386boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
5387boards use these variables for other purposes.
5388
5389Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
5390-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
5391u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
5392Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
5393device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
5394ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
5395
5396The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5397updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5398depending the information provided by your boot server:
5399
5400  bootfile	- see above
5401  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
5402  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5403  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5404  hostname	- Target hostname
5405  ipaddr	- see above
5406  netmask	- Subnet Mask
5407  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5408  serverip	- see above
5409
5410
5411There are two special Environment Variables:
5412
5413  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
5414		  as type string and/or serial number
5415  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
5416
5417These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5418the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5419once they have been set once.
5420
5421
5422Further special Environment Variables:
5423
5424  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5425		  with the "version" command. This variable is
5426		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
5427
5428
5429Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5430only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
5431
5432
5433Callback functions for environment variables:
5434---------------------------------------------
5435
5436For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5437when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
5438be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
5439deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5440effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5441
5442The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5443U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5444
5445These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
5446static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5447in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5448associations.  The list must be in the following format:
5449
5450	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5451	list = entry[,list]
5452
5453If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5454Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5455
5456Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5457with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
5458override any association in the static list. You can define
5459CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5460".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
5461
5462If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5463regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5464the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
5465
5466
5467Command Line Parsing:
5468=====================
5469
5470There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5471the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
5472
5473Old, simple command line parser:
5474--------------------------------
5475
5476- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5477- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
5478- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
5479- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5480  for example:
5481	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
5482- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5483	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
5484
5485Hush shell:
5486-----------
5487
5488- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5489  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5490  until...do...done, ...
5491- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5492  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5493  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5494  command
5495
5496General rules:
5497--------------
5498
5499(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5500    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5501    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5502    executed anyway.
5503
5504(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
5505    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
5506    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5507    variables are not executed.
5508
5509Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5510=======================================
5511
5512Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
5513such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5514"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
5515
5516Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5517MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5518"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
5519
5520If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5521in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5522ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5523variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
5524
5525o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5526  environment, the SROM's address is used.
5527
5528o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5529  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5530  used.
5531
5532o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5533  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
5534
5535o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5536  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5537  warning is printed.
5538
5539o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5540  is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5541  a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
5542
5543If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
5544will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
5545may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5546The naming convention is as follows:
5547"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
5548
5549Image Formats:
5550==============
5551
5552U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5553images in two formats:
5554
5555New uImage format (FIT)
5556-----------------------
5557
5558Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5559to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5560components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5561SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5562
5563
5564Old uImage format
5565-----------------
5566
5567Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5568preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5569details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
5570
5571* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
5572  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
5573  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
5574  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
5575  INTEGRITY).
5576* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86,
5577  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
5578  Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
5579* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
5580* Load Address
5581* Entry Point
5582* Image Name
5583* Image Timestamp
5584
5585The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5586and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5587CRC32 checksums.
5588
5589
5590Linux Support:
5591==============
5592
5593Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5594easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5595U-Boot.
5596
5597U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5598special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5599"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5600instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5601serves several purposes:
5602
5603- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5604  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5605  Flash memory footprint)
5606
5607- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5608  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
5609
5610- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5611  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5612  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5613  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5614  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5615  software is easier now.
5616
5617
5618Linux HOWTO:
5619============
5620
5621Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5622---------------------------------------
5623
5624U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5625configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5626(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5627Linux :-).
5628
5629But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
5630
5631Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5632include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
5633Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5634and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
5635as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
5636
5637Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5638If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5639is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5640doc/driver-model.
5641
5642
5643Configuring the Linux kernel:
5644-----------------------------
5645
5646No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5647device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
5648
5649
5650Building a Linux Image:
5651-----------------------
5652
5653With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5654not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5655"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5656U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5657which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5658100% compatible format.
5659
5660Example:
5661
5662	make TQM850L_defconfig
5663	make oldconfig
5664	make dep
5665	make uImage
5666
5667The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5668encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
5669CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
5670
5671* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
5672
5673* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
5674
5675	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5676				 -R .note -R .comment \
5677				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
5678
5679* compress the binary image:
5680
5681	gzip -9 linux.bin
5682
5683* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
5684
5685	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5686		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5687		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
5688
5689
5690The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5691with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5692combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5693byte header containing information about target architecture,
5694operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5695stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
5696
5697"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5698print the header information, or to build new images.
5699
5700In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5701contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5702checksum verification:
5703
5704	tools/mkimage -l image
5705	  -l ==> list image header information
5706
5707The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5708from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
5709
5710	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5711		      -n name -d data_file image
5712	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5713	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5714	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5715	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5716	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5717	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5718	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5719	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
5720
5721Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5722address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5723kernel version:
5724
5725- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5726- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
5727
5728So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
5729
5730	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5731	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
5732	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
5733	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
5734	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5735	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5736	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5737	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5738	Load Address: 0x00000000
5739	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5740
5741To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
5742
5743	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
5744	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5745	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5746	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5747	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
5748	Load Address: 0x00000000
5749	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5750
5751NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
5752speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5753needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5754need to be uncompressed:
5755
5756	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
5757	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
5758	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
5759	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
5760	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
5761	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
5762	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
5763	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5764	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5765	Load Address: 0x00000000
5766	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5767
5768
5769Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5770when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5771
5772	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5773	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5774	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5775	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5776	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5777	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5778	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5779	Load Address: 0x00000000
5780	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5781
5782The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5783option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5784option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5785from the image:
5786
5787	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5788	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5789	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5790	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5791
5792
5793Installing a Linux Image:
5794-------------------------
5795
5796To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5797you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5798
5799	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5800
5801The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5802image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5803address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5804specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5805command.
5806
5807Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5808TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5809
5810	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5811
5812	.......... done
5813	Erased 8 sectors
5814
5815	=> loads 40100000
5816	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5817	~>examples/image.srec
5818	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5819	...
5820	15989 15990 15991 15992
5821	[file transfer complete]
5822	[connected]
5823	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5824
5825
5826You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5827this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5828corruption happened:
5829
5830	=> imi 40100000
5831
5832	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5833	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L
5834	   Image Type:	 PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
5835	   Data Size:	 335725 Bytes = 327 kB = 0 MB
5836	   Load Address: 00000000
5837	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
5838	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
5839
5840
5841Boot Linux:
5842-----------
5843
5844The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5845memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5846of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5847parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the

5973More About U-Boot Image Types:
5974------------------------------
5975
5976U-Boot supports the following image types:
5977
5978   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5979	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5980	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5981	the Standalone Program.
5982   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5983	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5984	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5985	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5986	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5987   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5988	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5989	being started.
5990   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5991	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5992	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5993	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5994	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5995	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5996
5997	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5998	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5999	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6000	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6001	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6002	a multiple of 4 bytes).
6003
6004   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6005	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6006	flash memory.
6007
6008   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6009	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6010	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6011	as command interpreter.
6012
6013Booting the Linux zImage:
6014-------------------------
6015
6016On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6017using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6018as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6019
6020Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
6021kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6022address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6023format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
6024
6025
6026Standalone HOWTO:
6027=================
6028
6029One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6030run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6031U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
6032
6033Two simple examples are included with the sources:
6034
6035"Hello World" Demo:
6036-------------------
6037
6038'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
6039application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6040It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6041like that:
6042
6043	=> loads
6044	## Ready for S-Record download ...
6045	~>examples/hello_world.srec
6046	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
6047	[file transfer complete]
6048	[connected]
6049	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
6050
6051	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
6052	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
6053	Hello World
6054	argc = 7
6055	argv[0] = "40004"
6056	argv[1] = "Hello"
6057	argv[2] = "World!"
6058	argv[3] = "This"
6059	argv[4] = "is"
6060	argv[5] = "a"
6061	argv[6] = "test."
6062	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
6063	Hit any key to exit ...
6064
6065	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
6066
6067Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6068handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6069Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6070The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6071character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6072controlled by the following keys:
6073
6074	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6075	b - enable interrupts and start timer
6076	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
6077	q - quit application
6078
6079	=> loads

6114Minicom warning:
6115================
6116
6117Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
6118"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
6119consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
6120Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
6121especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
6122use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
6123http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
6124for help with kermit.
6125
6126
6127Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
6128configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
6129
6130	   Name	   Program			Name U/D FullScr IO-Red. Multi
6131	X  kermit  /usr/bin/kermit -i -l %l -s	 Y    U	   Y	   N	  N

6135NetBSD Notes:
6136=============
6137
6138Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6139(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
6140
6141Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6142NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6143need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6144Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6145attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6146missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
6147
6148	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6149	# mkdir powerpc
6150	# ln -s powerpc machine
6151	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6152	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
6153
6154Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6155and U-Boot include files.
6156
6157Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6158stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6159proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6160tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
6161meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz
6162
6163
6164Implementation Internals:
6165=========================
6166
6167The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6168implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6169inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6170hardware.
6171
6172
6173Initial Stack, Global Data:
6174---------------------------
6175
6176The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6177starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6178system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6179This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6180is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6181at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6182options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6183models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6184MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6185locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
6186
6187	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
6188	U-Boot mailing list:
6189
6190	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
6191	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
6192	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
6193	...
6194
6195	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6196	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6197	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6198	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6199	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
6200	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
6201	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6202	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
6203
6204	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6205	is another option for the system designer to use as an
6206	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
6207	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6208	board designers haven't used it for something that would
6209	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6210	used.
6211
6212	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
6213	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6214	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
6215	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
6216	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6217	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6218	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6219	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6220	you get the config right.

6224
6225It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6226code for the initialization procedures:
6227
6228* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6229  to write it.
6230
6231* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
6232  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6233  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
6234
6235* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6236  that.
6237
6238Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6239normal global data to share information between the code. But it
6240turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6241simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6242functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6243functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6244the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6245place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6246reserve for this purpose.
6247
6248When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6249relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
6250GCC's implementation.
6251
6252For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6253	R1:	stack pointer
6254	R2:	reserved for system use
6255	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
6256	R5-R10: parameter passing
6257	R13:	small data area pointer
6258	R30:	GOT pointer
6259	R31:	frame pointer
6260
6261	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6262	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6263	going back and forth between asm and C)
6264
6265    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
6266
6267    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6268    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6269    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6270    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6271    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6272    624 text + 127 data).
6273
6274On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:
6275	http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface
6276
6277    ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data
6278
6279On ARM, the following registers are used:
6280
6281	R0:	function argument word/integer result
6282	R1-R3:	function argument word
6283	R9:	platform specific
6284	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
6285	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
6286	R12:	temporary workspace
6287	R13:	stack pointer
6288	R14:	link register
6289	R15:	program counter
6290
6291    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6292
6293    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
6294
6295On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6296	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6297
6298    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6299
6300    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6301    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6302
6303On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6304
6305	R0-R1:	argument/return
6306	R2-R5:	argument
6307	R15:	temporary register for assembler
6308	R16:	trampoline register
6309	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
6310	R29:	global pointer (GP)
6311	R30:	link register (LP)
6312	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
6313	PC:	program counter (PC)
6314
6315    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6316
6317NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6318or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
6319
6320Memory Management:
6321------------------
6322
6323U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6324MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
6325
6326The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6327controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6328memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6329physical memory banks.
6330
6331U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6332TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6333booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6334to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
6335memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
6336configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6337Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
6338
6339Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6340of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
6341
6342So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6343this:
6344
6345	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
6346	      :
6347	0x0000 1FFF
6348	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
6349	      :
6350	      :
6351
6352	      :
6353	      :
6354	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6355	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6356	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
6357	      :
6358	0x00FD FFFF
6359	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6360	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6361	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6362	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
6363
6364
6365System Initialization:
6366----------------------
6367
6368In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
6369(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
6370configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
6371To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6372To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6373initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6374which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6375part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6376the caches and the SIU.
6377
6378Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6379preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6380(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6381on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6382programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6383simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6384banks.
6385
6386When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6387different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6388bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63890x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6390contiguous memory starting from 0.
6391
6392Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6393and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6394Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6395pages, and the final stack is set up.
6396
6397Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6398until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6399running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6400new address in RAM.

6477Coding Standards:
6478-----------------
6479
6480All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
6481coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
6482"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
6483
6484Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6485MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6486reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6487sources.
6488
6489Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6490Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6491in your code.
6492
6493Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6494- remove any trailing white space
6495- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
6496- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
6497- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
6498- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6499
6500Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6501with a request to reformat the changes.
6502
6503
6504Submitting Patches:
6505-------------------
6506
6507Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6508establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6509may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
6510
6511Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
6512
6513Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6514see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6515
6516When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6517it:
6518
6519* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6520  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6521  patch actually fixes something.
6522
6523* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6524  implementation.
6525
6526* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6527
6528* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6529  information and associated file and directory references.
6530
6531* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6532  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
6533
6534* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6535  document these in the README file.
6536
6537* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6538  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
6539  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
6540  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6541  with some other mail clients.
6542
6543  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6544  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6545  GNU diff.
6546
6547  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6548  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6549  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6550  affected files).
6551
6552  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6553  and compressed attachments must not be used.
6554
6555* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6556  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6557
6558* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6559  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6560
6561
6562Notes:
6563
6564* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6565  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6566  for any of the boards.
6567
6568* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6569  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6570  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6571
6572* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6573  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6574  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6575  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6576  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6577  modification.
6578
6579* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6580  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6581  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6582  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
