For instance, all monitor commands are 40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to 41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used 42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can 43load and run it dynamically. 44 45 46Status: 47======= 48 49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the 50Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered 51"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems. 52 53In case of problems see the CHANGELOG and CREDITS files to find out 54who contributed the specific port. The MAINTAINERS file lists board 55maintainers. 56 57 58Where to get help: 59================== 60 61In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 62U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 63<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

Regular releases are identified by 132names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 133Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 134releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 135 136Examples: 137 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 138 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 139 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candiate 1 for September 2010 release 140 141 142Directory Hierarchy: 143==================== 144 145/arch Architecture specific files 146 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 147 /cpu CPU specific files 148 /arm720t Files specific to ARM 720 CPUs 149 /arm920t Files specific to ARM 920 CPUs 150 /at91 Files specific to Atmel AT91RM9200 CPU 151 /imx Files specific to Freescale MC9328 i.MX CPUs 152 /s3c24x0 Files specific to Samsung S3C24X0 CPUs 153 /arm925t Files specific to ARM 925 CPUs 154 /arm926ejs Files specific to ARM 926 CPUs 155 /arm1136 Files specific to ARM 1136 CPUs 156 /ixp Files specific to Intel XScale IXP CPUs 157 /pxa Files specific to Intel XScale PXA CPUs 158 /s3c44b0 Files specific to Samsung S3C44B0 CPUs 159 /sa1100 Files specific to Intel StrongARM SA1100 CPUs 160 /lib Architecture specific library files 161 /avr32 Files generic to AVR32 architecture 162 /cpu CPU specific files 163 /lib Architecture specific library files 164 /blackfin Files generic to Analog Devices Blackfin architecture 165 /cpu CPU specific files 166 /lib Architecture specific library files 167 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 168 /cpu CPU specific files 169 /lib Architecture specific library files 170 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 171 /cpu CPU specific files 172 /mcf52x2 Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF52x2 CPUs 173 /mcf5227x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5227x CPUs 174 /mcf532x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5329 CPUs 175 /mcf5445x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF5445x CPUs 176 /mcf547x_8x Files specific to Freescale ColdFire MCF547x_8x CPUs 177 /lib Architecture specific library files 178 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 179 /cpu CPU specific files 180 /lib Architecture specific library files 181 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 182 /cpu CPU specific files 183 /mips32 Files specific to MIPS32 CPUs 184 /xburst Files specific to Ingenic XBurst CPUs 185 /lib Architecture specific library files 186 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 187 /cpu CPU specific files 188 /n1213 Files specific to Andes Technology N1213 CPUs 189 /lib Architecture specific library files 190 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 191 /cpu CPU specific files 192 /lib Architecture specific library files 193 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 194 /cpu CPU specific files 195 /74xx_7xx Files specific to Freescale MPC74xx and 7xx CPUs 196 /mpc5xx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xx CPUs 197 /mpc5xxx Files specific to Freescale MPC5xxx CPUs 198 /mpc8xx Files specific to Freescale MPC8xx CPUs 199 /mpc8220 Files specific to Freescale MPC8220 CPUs 200 /mpc824x Files specific to Freescale MPC824x CPUs 201 /mpc8260 Files specific to Freescale MPC8260 CPUs 202 /mpc85xx Files specific to Freescale MPC85xx CPUs 203 /ppc4xx Files specific to AMCC PowerPC 4xx CPUs 204 /lib Architecture specific library files 205 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 206 /cpu CPU specific files 207 /sh2 Files specific to sh2 CPUs 208 /sh3 Files specific to sh3 CPUs 209 /sh4 Files specific to sh4 CPUs 210 /lib Architecture specific library files 211 /sparc Files generic to SPARC architecture 212 /cpu CPU specific files 213 /leon2 Files specific to Gaisler LEON2 SPARC CPU 214 /leon3 Files specific to Gaisler LEON3 SPARC CPU 215 /lib Architecture specific library files 216/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 217/board Board dependent files 218/common Misc architecture independent functions 219/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 220/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 221/drivers Commonly used device drivers 222/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 223/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 224/include Header Files 225/lib Files generic to all architectures 226 /libfdt Library files to support flattened device trees 227 /lzma Library files to support LZMA decompression 228 /lzo Library files to support LZO decompression 229/net Networking code 230/post Power On Self Test 231/rtc Real Time Clock drivers 232/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 233 234Software Configuration: 235======================= 236 237Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 238rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 239 240There are two classes of configuration variables: 241 242* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 243 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 244 "CONFIG_". 245 246* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 247 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 248 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 249 "CONFIG_SYS_". 250 251Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 252identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 253do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 254links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 255as an example here. 256 257 258Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 259--------------------------------------------------- 260 261For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 262configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config". 263 264Example: For a TQM823L module type: 265 266 cd u-boot 267 make TQM823L_config 268 269For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 270e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent 271directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 272 273 274Configuration Options: 275---------------------- 276 277Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 278such information is kept in a configuration file 279"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 280 281Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 282"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 283 284 285Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 286kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 287build a config tool - later. 288 289 290The following options need to be configured: 291 292- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 293 294- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 295 296- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 297 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 298 299- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 300 Define exactly one of 301 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 302--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 303 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 304 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 305 306- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 307 Define exactly one of 308 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 309 310- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 311 Define one or more of 312 CONFIG_CMA302 313 314- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 315 Define one or more of 316 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 317 the LCD display every second with 318 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 319 320- Board flavour: (if CONFIG_MPC8260ADS is defined) 321 CONFIG_ADSTYPE 322 Possible values are: 323 CONFIG_SYS_8260ADS - original MPC8260ADS 324 CONFIG_SYS_8266ADS - MPC8266ADS 325 CONFIG_SYS_PQ2FADS - PQ2FADS-ZU or PQ2FADS-VR 326 CONFIG_SYS_8272ADS - MPC8272ADS 327 328- Marvell Family Member 329 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 330 multiple fs option at one time 331 for marvell soc family 332 333- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 334 Define exactly one of 335 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 336 337- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 338 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 339 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 340 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 341 reference PIT/RTC clock 342 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 343 or XTAL/EXTAL) 344 345- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 346 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 347 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 348 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 349 See doc/README.MPC866 350 351 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 352 353 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 354 of relying on the correctness of the configured 355 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 356 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 357 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 358 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 359 360 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 361 362 Define this option if you want to enable the 363 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 364 365- 85xx CPU Options: 366 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 367 368 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 369 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 370 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 371 372 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 373 374 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 375 tree nodes for the given platform. 376 377- Intel Monahans options: 378 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 379 380 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 381 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 382 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 383 384 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 385 386 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 387 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 388 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 389 by this value. 390 391- MIPS CPU options: 392 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 393 394 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 395 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 396 relocation. 397 398 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 399 400 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 401 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 402 Possible values are: 403 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 404 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 405 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 406 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 407 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 408 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 409 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 410 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 411 412 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 413 414 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 415 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 416 417 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 418 419 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 420 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 421 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 422 423- Linux Kernel Interface: 424 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 425 426 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 427 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 428 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 429 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 430 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 431 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 432 Linux kernel. 433 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 434 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 435 default environment. 436 437 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 438 439 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 440 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 441 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 442 443 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 444 445 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 446 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 447 concepts). 448 449 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 450 * New libfdt-based support 451 * Adds the "fdt" command 452 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 453 454 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 455 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 456 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 457 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 458 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 459 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 460 461 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 462 addresses 463 464 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 465 466 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 467 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 468 469 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 470 471 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 472 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 473 474 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 475 476 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 477 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 478 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 479 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 480 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 481 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 482 483 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 484 485 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 486 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 487 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 488 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 489 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 490 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 491 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 492 493- vxWorks boot parameters: 494 495 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 496 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 497 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 498 499 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 500 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 501 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 502 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 503 504 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 505 506 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 507 508 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 509 the defaults discussed just above. 510 511- Cache Configuration: 512 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 513 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 514 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 515 516- Cache Configuration for ARM: 517 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 518 controller 519 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 520 controller register space 521 522- Serial Ports: 523 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 524 525 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 526 527 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 528 529 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 530 531 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 532 533 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 534 the clock speed of the UARTs. 535 536 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 537 538 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 539 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 540 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 541 542 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 543 544 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 545 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 546 this variable to initialize the extra register. 547 548 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 549 550 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 551 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 552 variable to flush the UART at init time. 553 554 555- Console Interface: 556 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 557 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 558 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 559 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 560 561 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 562 port routines must be defined elsewhere 563 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 564 565 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 566 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 567 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042, board/eltec/bab7xx) 568 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 569 (default big endian) 570 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 571 rectangle fill 572 (cf. smiLynxEM) 573 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 574 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 575 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 576 (cols=pitch) 577 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 578 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 579 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 580 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 581 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 582 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 583 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 584 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 585 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 586 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 587 (i.e. i8042_getc) 588 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 589 (requires blink timer 590 cf. i8042.c) 591 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 592 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 593 upper right corner 594 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 595 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 596 upper left corner 597 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 598 linux_logo.h for logo. 599 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 600 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 601 additional board info beside 602 the logo 603 604 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 605 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 606 environment 'console=serial'. 607 608 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 609 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 610 the "silent" environment variable. See 611 doc/README.silent for more information. 612 613- Console Baudrate: 614 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 615 Select one of the baudrates listed in 616 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 617 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 618 619- Console Rx buffer length 620 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 621 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 622 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 623 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 624 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 625 the SMC. 626 627- Pre-Console Buffer: 628 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 629 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 630 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 631 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 632 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 633 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 634 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 635 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 636 earlier bytes are discarded. 637 638 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 639 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 640 641- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 642 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 643 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 644 645 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 646 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 647 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 648 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 649 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 650 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 651 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 652 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 653 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 654 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 655 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 656 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 657 658- Autoboot Command: 659 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 660 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 661 define a command string that is automatically executed 662 when no character is read on the console interface 663 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 664 665 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 666 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 667 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 668 environment value "bootargs". 669 670 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 671 The value of these goes into the environment as 672 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 673 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 674 RAM and NFS. 675 676- Pre-Boot Commands: 677 CONFIG_PREBOOT 678 679 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 680 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 681 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 682 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 683 entering interactive mode. 684 685 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 686 automatically generated or modified. For an example 687 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 688 modified when the user holds down a certain 689 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 690 booting the systems 691 692- Serial Download Echo Mode: 693 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 694 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 695 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 696 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 697 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 698 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 699 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 700 701- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 702 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 703 Select one of the baudrates listed in 704 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 705 706- Monitor Functions: 707 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 708 from the build by using the #include files 709 "config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted 710 commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h" 711 and augmenting with additional #define's 712 for wanted commands. 713 714 The default command configuration includes all commands 715 except those marked below with a "*". 716 717 CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable 718 CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo 719 CONFIG_CMD_BEDBUG * Include BedBug Debugger 720 CONFIG_CMD_BMP * BMP support 721 CONFIG_CMD_BSP * Board specific commands 722 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTD bootd 723 CONFIG_CMD_CACHE * icache, dcache 724 CONFIG_CMD_CONSOLE coninfo 725 CONFIG_CMD_CRC32 * crc32 726 CONFIG_CMD_DATE * support for RTC, date/time... 727 CONFIG_CMD_DHCP * DHCP support 728 CONFIG_CMD_DIAG * Diagnostics 729 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510 * ds4510 I2C gpio commands 730 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_INFO * ds4510 I2C info command 731 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_MEM * ds4510 I2C eeprom/sram commansd 732 CONFIG_CMD_DS4510_RST * ds4510 I2C rst command 733 CONFIG_CMD_DTT * Digital Therm and Thermostat 734 CONFIG_CMD_ECHO echo arguments 735 CONFIG_CMD_EDITENV edit env variable 736 CONFIG_CMD_EEPROM * EEPROM read/write support 737 CONFIG_CMD_ELF * bootelf, bootvx 738 CONFIG_CMD_EXPORTENV * export the environment 739 CONFIG_CMD_SAVEENV saveenv 740 CONFIG_CMD_FDC * Floppy Disk Support 741 CONFIG_CMD_FAT * FAT partition support 742 CONFIG_CMD_FDOS * Dos diskette Support 743 CONFIG_CMD_FLASH flinfo, erase, protect 744 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA FPGA device initialization support 745 CONFIG_CMD_GO * the 'go' command (exec code) 746 CONFIG_CMD_GREPENV * search environment 747 CONFIG_CMD_HWFLOW * RTS/CTS hw flow control 748 CONFIG_CMD_I2C * I2C serial bus support 749 CONFIG_CMD_IDE * IDE harddisk support 750 CONFIG_CMD_IMI iminfo 751 CONFIG_CMD_IMLS List all found images 752 CONFIG_CMD_IMMAP * IMMR dump support 753 CONFIG_CMD_IMPORTENV * import an environment 754 CONFIG_CMD_IRQ * irqinfo 755 CONFIG_CMD_ITEST Integer/string test of 2 values 756 CONFIG_CMD_JFFS2 * JFFS2 Support 757 CONFIG_CMD_KGDB * kgdb 758 CONFIG_CMD_LDRINFO ldrinfo (display Blackfin loader) 759 CONFIG_CMD_LOADB loadb 760 CONFIG_CMD_LOADS loads 761 CONFIG_CMD_MD5SUM print md5 message digest 762 (requires CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY and CONFIG_MD5) 763 CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY md, mm, nm, mw, cp, cmp, crc, base, 764 loop, loopw, mtest 765 CONFIG_CMD_MISC Misc functions like sleep etc 766 CONFIG_CMD_MMC * MMC memory mapped support 767 CONFIG_CMD_MII * MII utility commands 768 CONFIG_CMD_MTDPARTS * MTD partition support 769 CONFIG_CMD_NAND * NAND support 770 CONFIG_CMD_NET bootp, tftpboot, rarpboot 771 CONFIG_CMD_PCA953X * PCA953x I2C gpio commands 772 CONFIG_CMD_PCA953X_INFO * PCA953x I2C gpio info command 773 CONFIG_CMD_PCI * pciinfo 774 CONFIG_CMD_PCMCIA * PCMCIA support 775 CONFIG_CMD_PING * send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST to network 776 host 777 CONFIG_CMD_PORTIO * Port I/O 778 CONFIG_CMD_REGINFO * Register dump 779 CONFIG_CMD_RUN run command in env variable 780 CONFIG_CMD_SAVES * save S record dump 781 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI * SCSI Support 782 CONFIG_CMD_SDRAM * print SDRAM configuration information 783 (requires CONFIG_CMD_I2C) 784 CONFIG_CMD_SETGETDCR Support for DCR Register access 785 (4xx only) 786 CONFIG_CMD_SHA1SUM print sha1 memory digest 787 (requires CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY) 788 CONFIG_CMD_SOURCE "source" command Support 789 CONFIG_CMD_SPI * SPI serial bus support 790 CONFIG_CMD_TFTPSRV * TFTP transfer in server mode 791 CONFIG_CMD_TFTPPUT * TFTP put command (upload) 792 CONFIG_CMD_TIME * run command and report execution time 793 CONFIG_CMD_USB * USB support 794 CONFIG_CMD_CDP * Cisco Discover Protocol support 795 CONFIG_CMD_FSL * Microblaze FSL support 796 797 798 EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network 799 support you can write: 800 801 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 802 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 803 804 Other Commands: 805 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 806 807 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 808 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 809 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 810 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 811 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 812 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 813 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 814 initial stack and some data. 815 816 817 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 818 819- Device tree: 820 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 821 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 822 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 823 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 824 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 825 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 826 827 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 828 be done using one of the two options below: 829 830 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 831 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 832 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 833 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 834 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 835 the global data structure as gd->blob. 836 837 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 838 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 839 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 840 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 841 842 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 843 844 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 845 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 846 still use the individual files if you need something more 847 exotic. 848 849- Watchdog: 850 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 851 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 852 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 853 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 854 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 855 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 856 available, then no further board specific code should 857 be needed to use it. 858 859 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 860 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 861 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 862 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 863 864- U-Boot Version: 865 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 866 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 867 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 868 version as printed by the "version" command. 869 This variable is readonly. 870 871- Real-Time Clock: 872 873 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 874 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 875 following options: 876 877 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 878 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 879 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 880 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 881 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 882 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 883 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 884 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 885 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 886 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 887 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 888 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 889 RV3029 RTC. 890 891 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 892 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 893 894- GPIO Support: 895 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 896 CONFIG_PCA953X_INFO - enable pca953x info command 897 898 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 899 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 900 pins supported by a particular chip. 901 902 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 903 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 904 905- Timestamp Support: 906 907 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 908 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 909 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 910 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 911 912- Partition Support: 913 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION 914 and/or CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION and/or CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION 915 916 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or 917 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at 918 least one partition type as well. 919 920- IDE Reset method: 921 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 922 board configurations files but used nowhere! 923 924 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 925 be performed by calling the function 926 ide_set_reset(int reset) 927 which has to be defined in a board specific file 928 929- ATAPI Support: 930 CONFIG_ATAPI 931 932 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 933 934- LBA48 Support 935 CONFIG_LBA48 936 937 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 938 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 939 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 940 support disks up to 2.1TB. 941 942 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 943 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 944 Default is 32bit. 945 946- SCSI Support: 947 At the moment only there is only support for the 948 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define 949 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it. 950 951 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 952 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 953 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 954 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 955 devices. 956 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz) 957 958- NETWORK Support (PCI): 959 CONFIG_E1000 960 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 961 962 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 963 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 964 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 965 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 966 967 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 968 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 969 example with the "sspi" command. 970 971 CONFIG_CMD_E1000 972 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices 973 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot. 974 975 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC 976 default MAC for empty EEPROM after production. 977 978 CONFIG_EEPRO100 979 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 980 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 981 write routine for first time initialisation. 982 983 CONFIG_TULIP 984 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 985 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 986 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 987 988 CONFIG_NATSEMI 989 Support for National dp83815 chips. 990 991 CONFIG_NS8382X 992 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 993 994- NETWORK Support (other): 995 996 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 997 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 998 999 CONFIG_RMII 1000 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 1001 1002 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 1003 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 1004 The driver doen't show link status messages. 1005 1006 CONFIG_DRIVER_LAN91C96 1007 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 1008 1009 CONFIG_LAN91C96_BASE 1010 Define this to hold the physical address 1011 of the LAN91C96's I/O space 1012 1013 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 1014 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 1015 1016 CONFIG_DRIVER_SMC91111 1017 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 1018 1019 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 1020 Define this to hold the physical address 1021 of the device (I/O space) 1022 1023 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 1024 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1025 1026 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 1027 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 1028 (some hardware wont work with macros) 1029 1030 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 1031 Support for davinci emac 1032 1033 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1034 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1035 1036 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1037 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1038 1039 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1040 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1041 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1042 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1043 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1044 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1045 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1046 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1047 1048 CONFIG_SMC911X 1049 Support for SMSC's LAN911x and LAN921x chips 1050 1051 CONFIG_SMC911X_BASE 1052 Define this to hold the physical address 1053 of the device (I/O space) 1054 1055 CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT 1056 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 1057 1058 CONFIG_SMC911X_16_BIT 1059 Define this if data bus is 16 bits. If your processor 1060 automatically converts one 32 bit word to two 16 bit 1061 words you may also try CONFIG_SMC911X_32_BIT. 1062 1063 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1064 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1065 1066 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1067 Define the number of ports to be used 1068 1069 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1070 Define the ETH PHY's address 1071 1072 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1073 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1074 1075- USB Support: 1076 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1077 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1078 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1079 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1080 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1081 storage devices. 1082 Note: 1083 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1084 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1085 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1086 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1087 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1088 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1089 for USB on PSC3 1090 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1091 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1092 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1093 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1094 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1095 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1096 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1097 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1098 1099- USB Device: 1100 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1101 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1102 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1103 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1104 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1105 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1106 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1107 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1108 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1109 a Linux host by 1110 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1111 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1112 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1113 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1114 1115 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1116 Define this to build a UDC device 1117 1118 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1119 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1120 talk to the UDC device 1121 1122 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1123 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1124 be set to usbtty. 1125 1126 mpc8xx: 1127 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1128 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1129 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1130 1131 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1132 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1133 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1134 1135 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1136 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1137 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1138 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1139 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1140 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1141 1142 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1143 Define this string as the name of your company for 1144 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1145 1146 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1147 Define this string as the name of your product 1148 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1149 1150 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1151 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1152 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1153 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1154 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1155 1156 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1157 Define this as the unique Product ID 1158 for your device 1159 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1160 1161 1162- MMC Support: 1163 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1164 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1165 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1166 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1167 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1168 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1169 1170 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1171 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1172 1173 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1174 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1175 1176 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1177 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1178 1179- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1180 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1181 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1182 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1183 1184 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1185 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1186 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1187 1188 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1189 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1190 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1191 1192 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1193 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1194 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1195 have not defined a custom partition 1196 1197- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1198 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1199 Support for saving memory data as a file 1200 in FAT formatted partition 1201 1202- Keyboard Support: 1203 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1204 1205 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1206 support 1207 1208 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1209 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1210 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1211 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1212 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1213 1214- Video support: 1215 CONFIG_VIDEO 1216 1217 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1218 video). 1219 1220 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1221 1222 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1223 1224 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1225 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1226 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1227 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1228 assumed. 1229 1230 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1231 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1232 are possible: 1233 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1234 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1235 1236 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1237 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1238 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1239 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1240 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1241 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1242 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1243 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1244 1245 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1246 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1247 1248 1249 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1250 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1251 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1252 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1253 1254 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1255 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1256 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1257 support, and should also define these other macros: 1258 1259 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1260 CONFIG_VIDEO 1261 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1262 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1263 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1264 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1265 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1266 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1267 1268 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1269 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1270 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1271 description of this variable. 1272 1273- Keyboard Support: 1274 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1275 1276 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1277 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1278 defined in your board-specific files. 1279 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1280 1281- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1282 1283 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1284 display); also select one of the supported displays 1285 by defining one of these: 1286 1287 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1288 1289 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1290 1291 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1292 1293 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1294 1295 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1296 1297 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1298 Active, color, single scan. 1299 1300 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1301 1302 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1303 Active, color, single scan. 1304 1305 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1306 1307 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1308 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1309 1310 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1311 1312 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1313 Active, color, single scan. 1314 1315 CONFIG_HLD1045 1316 1317 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1318 Active, color, single scan. 1319 1320 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1321 1322 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1323 or 1324 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1325 or 1326 Hitachi SP14Q002 1327 1328 320x240. Black & white. 1329 1330 Normally display is black on white background; define 1331 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1332 1333- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1334 1335 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1336 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1337 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1338 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1339 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1340 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1341 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1342 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1343 1344 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1345 1346 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1347 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1348 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1349 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1350 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1351 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1352 1353 Example: 1354 setenv splashpos m,m 1355 => image at center of screen 1356 1357 setenv splashpos 30,20 1358 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1359 1360 setenv splashpos -10,m 1361 => vertically centered image 1362 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1363 1364- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1365 1366 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1367 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1368 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1369 1370- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1371 1372 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1373 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1374 bmp command. 1375 1376- Compression support: 1377 CONFIG_BZIP2 1378 1379 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1380 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1381 compressed images are supported. 1382 1383 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1384 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1385 be at least 4MB. 1386 1387 CONFIG_LZMA 1388 1389 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1390 images is included. 1391 1392 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1393 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1394 formula: 1395 1396 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1397 1398 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1399 and Literal pos bits. 1400 1401 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1402 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1403 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1404 a very small buffer. 1405 1406 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1407 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1408 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1409 1410- MII/PHY support: 1411 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1412 1413 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1414 1415 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1416 1417 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1418 1419 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1420 1421 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1422 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1423 1424 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1425 1426 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1427 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1428 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1429 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1430 1431 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1432 1433 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1434 command issued before MII status register can be read 1435 1436- Ethernet address: 1437 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1438 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1439 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1440 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1441 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1442 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1443 1444 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1445 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1446 is not determined automatically. 1447 1448- IP address: 1449 CONFIG_IPADDR 1450 1451 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1452 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1453 determined through e.g. bootp. 1454 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1455 1456- Server IP address: 1457 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1458 1459 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1460 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1461 (Environment variable "serverip") 1462 1463 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1464 1465 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1466 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1467 1468- Gateway IP address: 1469 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1470 1471 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1472 default router where packets to other networks are 1473 sent to. 1474 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1475 1476- Subnet mask: 1477 CONFIG_NETMASK 1478 1479 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1480 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1481 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1482 forwarded through a router. 1483 (Environment variable "netmask") 1484 1485- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1486 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1487 1488 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1489 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1490 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1491 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1492 multicast group. 1493 1494- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1495 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1496 1497 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1498 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1499 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1500 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1501 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1502 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1503 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1504 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1505 following delays are inserted then: 1506 1507 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1508 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1509 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1510 4th and following 1511 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1512 1513- DHCP Advanced Options: 1514 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1515 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1516 1517 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 1518 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 1519 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 1520 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1521 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 1522 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1523 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1524 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 1525 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1526 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1527 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1528 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1529 1530 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1531 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1532 1533 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 1534 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 1535 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 1536 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 1537 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 1538 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 1539 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 1540 is defined. 1541 1542 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1543 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1544 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1545 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1546 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1547 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1548 1549 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1550 1551 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1552 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1553 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1554 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1555 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1556 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1557 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1558 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1559 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1560 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1561 this delay. 1562 1563 - CDP Options: 1564 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1565 1566 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1567 1568 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1569 1570 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1571 of the device. 1572 1573 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1574 1575 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1576 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1577 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1578 1579 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1580 1581 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1582 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1583 1584 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1585 1586 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1587 1588 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1589 1590 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1591 1592 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1593 1594 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1595 1596 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1597 1598 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1599 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1600 1601 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1602 1603 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1604 1605- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 1606 1607 Several configurations allow to display the current 1608 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1609 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1610 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1611 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1612 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1613 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 1614 feature in U-Boot. 1615 1616- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 1617 1618 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 1619 on those systems that support this (optional) 1620 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 1621 1622- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C 1623 1624 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of 1625 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will 1626 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU. 1627 1628 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 1629 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 1630 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 1631 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 1632 command line interface. 1633 1634 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 1635 1636 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka 1637 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware 1638 support for I2C. 1639 1640 There are several other quantities that must also be 1641 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C. 1642 1643 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 1644 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 1645 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 1646 the CPU's i2c node address). 1647 1648 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 1649 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 1650 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 1651 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 1652 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 1653 1654 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 1655 1656 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1657 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1658 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 1659 commands until the slave device responds. 1660 1661 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 1662 1663 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C) 1664 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1665 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1666 1667 I2C_INIT 1668 1669 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1670 controller or configure ports. 1671 1672 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1673 1674 I2C_PORT 1675 1676 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 1677 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 1678 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 1679 1680 I2C_ACTIVE 1681 1682 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 1683 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 1684 define can be null. 1685 1686 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 1687 1688 I2C_TRISTATE 1689 1690 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 1691 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 1692 define can be null. 1693 1694 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 1695 1696 I2C_READ 1697 1698 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high, 1699 FALSE if it is low. 1700 1701 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 1702 1703 I2C_SDA(bit) 1704 1705 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it 1706 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1707 1708 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 1709 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 1710 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 1711 1712 I2C_SCL(bit) 1713 1714 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 1715 is FALSE, it clears it (low). 1716 1717 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 1718 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 1719 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 1720 1721 I2C_DELAY 1722 1723 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 1724 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 1725 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 1726 like: 1727 1728 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 1729 1730 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 1731 1732 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 1733 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 1734 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 1735 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 1736 1737 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 1738 the generic GPIO functions. 1739 1740 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 1741 1742 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1743 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1744 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 1745 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 1746 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 1747 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 1748 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 1749 is run early in the boot sequence. 1750 1751 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 1752 1753 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 1754 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 1755 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 1756 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 1757 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 1758 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 1759 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 1760 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 1761 1762 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 1763 1764 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 1765 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 1766 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 1767 1768 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1769 1770 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 1771 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 1772 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 1773 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 1774 1775 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 1776 1777 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 1778 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1779 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 1780 a 1D array of device addresses 1781 1782 e.g. 1783 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1784 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 1785 1786 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 1787 1788 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1789 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 1790 1791 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 1792 1793 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 1794 1795 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 1796 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 1797 1798 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 1799 1800 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 1801 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 1802 1803 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 1804 1805 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 1806 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 1807 1808 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 1809 1810 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 1811 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 1812 specified DTT device. 1813 1814 CONFIG_FSL_I2C 1815 1816 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in 1817 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c. 1818 1819 CONFIG_I2C_MUX 1820 1821 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n 1822 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C 1823 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a 1824 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the 1825 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for 1826 the muxes to activate this new "bus". 1827 1828 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this 1829 feature! 1830 1831 Example: 1832 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes 1833 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6 1834 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4 1835 1836 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4 1837 1838 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list 1839 of I2C Busses with muxes: 1840 1841 => i2c bus 1842 Busses reached over muxes: 1843 Bus ID: 2 1844 reached over Mux(es): 1845 pca9544a@70 ch: 4 1846 Bus ID: 3 1847 reached over Mux(es): 1848 pca9544a@70 ch: 6 1849 pca9544a@71 ch: 4 1850 => 1851 1852 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3" 1853 u-boot first sends the command to the mux@70 to enable 1854 channel 6, and then the command to the mux@71 to enable 1855 the channel 4. 1856 1857 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as 1858 usual to communicate with your I2C devices behind 1859 the 2 muxes. 1860 1861 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging 1862 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C 1863 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult 1864 to add this option to other architectures. 1865 1866 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 1867 1868 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 1869 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 1870 between writing the address pointer and reading the 1871 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 1872 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 1873 devices can use either method, but some require one or 1874 the other. 1875 1876- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 1877 1878 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 1879 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 1880 D/As on the SACSng board) 1881 1882 CONFIG_SH_SPI 1883 1884 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 1885 only SH7757 is supported. 1886 1887 CONFIG_SPI_X 1888 1889 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 1890 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 1891 1892 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 1893 1894 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 1895 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 1896 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 1897 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 1898 defined, the board configuration must define several 1899 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 1900 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 1901 1902 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 1903 1904 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 1905 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 1906 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 1907 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 1908 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 1909 1910 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 1911 1912 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 1913 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 1914 1915- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 1916 1917 Enables FPGA subsystem. 1918 1919 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 1920 1921 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 1922 (ALTERA, XILINX) 1923 1924 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 1925 1926 Enables support for FPGA family. 1927 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 1928 1929 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 1930 1931 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 1932 1933 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 1934 1935 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 1936 1937 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 1938 1939 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 1940 status by the configuration function. This option 1941 will require a board or device specific function to 1942 be written. 1943 1944 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 1945 1946 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 1947 configuration driver. 1948 1949 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 1950 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 1951 1952 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 1953 1954 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 1955 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 1956 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 1957 indicated a CRC error). 1958 1959 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 1960 1961 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 1962 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 1963 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 1964 ms. 1965 1966 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 1967 1968 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 1969 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 1970 1971 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 1972 1973 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 1974 200 ms. 1975 1976- Configuration Management: 1977 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 1978 1979 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 1980 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 1981 1982- Vendor Parameter Protection: 1983 1984 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 1985 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 1986 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 1987 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 1988 protects these variables from casual modification by 1989 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 1990 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 1991 change this behaviour: 1992 1993 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 1994 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 1995 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 1996 these parameters. 1997 1998 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 1999 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2000 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2001 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2002 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2003 read-only.] 2004 2005- Protected RAM: 2006 CONFIG_PRAM 2007 2008 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2009 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2010 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2011 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2012 this default value by defining an environment 2013 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2014 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2015 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2016 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2017 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2018 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2019 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2020 2021 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2022 saveenv 2023 2024 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2025 either, which results in a memory region that will 2026 not be affected by reboots. 2027 2028 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2029 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2030 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2031 following board configurations are known to be 2032 "pRAM-clean": 2033 2034 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2035 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC, 2036 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2037 2038- Error Recovery: 2039 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2040 2041 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2042 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2043 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2044 system where you want the system to reboot 2045 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2046 useful during development since you can try to debug 2047 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2048 2049 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2050 2051 This variable defines the number of retries for 2052 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2053 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2054 default value of 5 is used. 2055 2056 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2057 2058 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2059 2060- Command Interpreter: 2061 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2062 2063 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2064 2065 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2066 for the "hush" shell. 2067 2068 2069 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2070 2071 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2072 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2073 powerful command line syntax like 2074 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2075 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2076 2077 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2078 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2079 2080 2081 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2082 2083 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2084 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2085 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2086 2087 Note: 2088 2089 In the current implementation, the local variables 2090 space and global environment variables space are 2091 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2092 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2093 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2094 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2095 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2096 2097 Global environment variables are those you use 2098 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2099 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2100 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2101 2102 To store commands and special characters in a 2103 variable, please use double quotation marks 2104 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2105 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2106 symbols. 2107 2108- Commandline Editing and History: 2109 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2110 2111 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2112 commandline input operations 2113 2114- Default Environment: 2115 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2116 2117 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2118 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2119 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2120 2121 For example, place something like this in your 2122 board's config file: 2123 2124 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2125 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2126 "myvar2=value2\0" 2127 2128 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2129 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2130 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2131 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2132 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2133 You better know what you are doing here. 2134 2135 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2136 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2137 the environment like the "source" command or the 2138 boot command first. 2139 2140- DataFlash Support: 2141 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2142 2143 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2144 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2145 commands cp, md... 2146 2147- SystemACE Support: 2148 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2149 2150 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2151 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2152 of the chip must also be defined in the 2153 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2154 2155 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2156 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2157 2158 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2159 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2160 2161- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2162 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2163 2164 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2165 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2166 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2167 number generator is used. 2168 2169 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2170 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2171 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2172 2173 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2174 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2175 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2176 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2177 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2178 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2179 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2180 2181- Show boot progress: 2182 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2183 2184 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2185 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2186 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2187 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2188 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 2189 the following checkpoints are implemented: 2190 2191Legacy uImage format: 2192 2193 Arg Where When 2194 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 2195 -1

support: 2345 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2346 2347 This option defines a board specific value for the 2348 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2349 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2350 settings. 2351 2352- Frame Buffer Address: 2353 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2354 2355 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2356 address for frame buffer. 2357 Then system will reserve the frame buffer address to 2358 defined address instead of lcd_setmem (this function 2359 grabs the memory for frame buffer by panel's size). 2360 2361 Please see board_init_f function. 2362 2363- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2364 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2365 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2366 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2367 2368 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2369 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2370 2371- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2372 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2373 2374 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2375 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2376 2377 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2378 2379 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2380 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 2381 2382- SPL framework 2383 CONFIG_SPL 2384 Enable building of SPL globally. 2385 2386 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 2387 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 2388 2389 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 2390 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 2391 2392 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 2393 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 2394 2395 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 2396 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 2397 2398 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 2399 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 2400 2401 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 2402 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 2403 2404 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 2405 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 2406 2407 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 2408 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 2409 2410 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 2411 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 2412 2413 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 2414 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 2415 2416 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 2417 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 2418 2419 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 2420 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 2421 2422Modem Support: 2423-------------- 2424 2425[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 2426 2427- Modem support enable: 2428 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 2429 2430- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 2431 CONFIG_HWFLOW 2432 2433- Modem debug support: 2434 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 2435 2436 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 2437 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 2438 2439- Interrupt support (PPC): 2440 2441 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 2442 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 2443 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 2444 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 2445 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 2446 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 2447 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 2448 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 2449 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 2450 general timer_interrupt(). 2451 2452- General: 2453 2454 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 2455 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 2456 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 2457 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 2458 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 2459 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 2460 initialization. 2461 2462 If there are no modem init strings in the 2463 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 2464 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 2465 suppressed, though. 2466 2467 See also: doc/README.Modem 2468 2469Board initialization settings: 2470------------------------------ 2471 2472During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 2473to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 2474before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 2475following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 2476architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 2477typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 2478 2479- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 2480- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 2481- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 2482- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 2483 2484Configuration Settings: 2485----------------------- 2486 2487- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 2488 undefine this when you're short of memory. 2489 2490- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 2491 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 2492 2493- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 2494 prompt for user input. 2495 2496- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 2497 2498- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 2499 2500- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 2501 2502- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 2503 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 2504 booted 2505 2506- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 2507 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 2508 2509- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 2510 Suppress display of console information at boot. 2511 2512- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 2513 If the board specific function 2514 extern int overwrite_console (void); 2515 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 2516 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 2517 2518- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 2519 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 2520 2521- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 2522 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 2523 2524- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 2525 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 2526 simple memory test. 2527 2528- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 2529 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 2530 2531- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 2532 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 2533 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 2534 2535- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 2536 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 2537 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 2538 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 2539 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 2540 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 2541 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 2542 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 2543 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 2544 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 2545 2546 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 2547 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 2548 be touched. 2549 2550 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 2551 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 2552 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 2553 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 2554 problems. 2555 2556- CONFIG_SYS_TFTP_LOADADDR: 2557 Default load address for network file downloads 2558 2559- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 2560 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 2561 2562- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 2563 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 2564 2565- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 2566 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 2567 Cogent motherboard) 2568 2569- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 2570 Physical start address of Flash memory. 2571 2572- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 2573 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 2574 make config files to be same as the text base address 2575 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 2576 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 2577 2578- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 2579 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 2580 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 2581 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 2582 flash sector. 2583 2584- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 2585 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 2586 2587- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 2588 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 2589 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 2590 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 2591 to adjust this setting to your needs. 2592 2593- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 2594 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 2595 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 2596 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 2597 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 2598 enviroment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 2599 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 2600 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 2601 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 2602 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 2603 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 2604 2605- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 2606 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 2607 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 2608 is enabled. 2609 2610- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 2611 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 2612 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 2613 2614- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 2615 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 2616 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 2617 2618- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 2619 Max number of Flash memory banks 2620 2621- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 2622 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 2623 2624- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 2625 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 2626 2627- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 2628 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 2629 2630- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 2631 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 2632 2633- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 2634 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 2635 2636- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 2637 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 2638 instead of U-Boot software protection. 2639 2640- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 2641 2642 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 2643 without this option such a download has to be 2644 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 2645 copy from RAM to flash. 2646 2647 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 2648 you can check if the download worked before you erase 2649 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 2650 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 2651 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 2652 2653- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 2654 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 2655 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 2656 2657- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 2658 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 2659 in the drivers directory 2660 2661- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 2662 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 2663 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 2664 to the MTD layer. 2665 2666- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 2667 Use buffered writes to flash. 2668 2669- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 2670 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 2671 write commands. 2672 2673- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 2674 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 2675 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 2676 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 2677 optionally available. 2678 2679- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 2680 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 2681 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 2682 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 2683 2684- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 2685 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 2686 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 2687 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 2688 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 2689 on high Ethernet traffic. 2690 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 2691 2692- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 2693 2694 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 2695 internally to store the environment settings. The default 2696 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 2697 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 2698 lib/hashtable.c for details. 2699 2700The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 2701of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 2702following configurations: 2703 2704- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 2705 2706 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 2707 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 2708 2709- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 2710 2711 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 2712 2713 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 2714 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 2715 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 2716 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 2717 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 2718 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 2719 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 2720 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 2721 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 2722 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 2723 between U-Boot and the environment. 2724 2725 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2726 2727 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 2728 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 2729 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 2730 for this sector is given here. 2731 2732 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 2733 2734 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2735 2736 This is just another way to specify the start address of 2737 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 2738 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 2739 2740 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 2741 2742 Size of the sector containing the environment. 2743 2744 2745 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 2746 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 2747 the environment. 2748 2749 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2750 2751 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 2752 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 2753 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 2754 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 2755 2756 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 2757 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 2758 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 2759 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 2760 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 2761 updating the environment in flash makes it always 2762 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 2763 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 2764 RAM, your target system will be dead. 2765 2766 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 2767 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 2768 2769 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 2770 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 2771 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 2772 a "saveenv" operation. 2773 2774BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 2775source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 2776accordingly! 2777 2778 2779- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 2780 2781 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 2782 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 2783 environment. 2784 2785 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2786 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2787 2788 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 2789 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 2790 can just be read and written to, without any special 2791 provision. 2792 2793BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 2794in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 2795console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 2796U-Boot will hang. 2797 2798Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 2799environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 2800keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 2801to save the current settings. 2802 2803 2804- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 2805 2806 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 2807 device and a driver for it. 2808 2809 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2810 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2811 2812 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 2813 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 2814 2815 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 2816 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 2817 The default address is zero. 2818 2819 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 2820 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 2821 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 2822 would require six bits. 2823 2824 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 2825 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 2826 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 2827 2828 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 2829 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 2830 that this is NOT the chip address length! 2831 2832 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 2833 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 2834 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 2835 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 2836 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 2837 byte chips. 2838 2839 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 2840 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 2841 in the chip address. 2842 2843 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 2844 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 2845 2846 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 2847 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 2848 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 2849 2850 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 2851 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 2852 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 2853 EEPROM. For example: 2854 2855 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS "pca9547:70:d\0" 2856 2857 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 2858 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 2859 2860- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 2861 2862 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 2863 want to use for the environment. 2864 2865 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2866 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 2867 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2868 2869 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 2870 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 2871 at the specified address. 2872 2873- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 2874 2875 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 2876 for the environment. 2877 2878 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 2879 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 2880 2881 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 2882 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 2883 aligned to an erase block boundary. 2884 2885 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 2886 2887 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 2888 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 2889 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 2890 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 2891 aligned to an erase block boundary. 2892 2893 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 2894 2895 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 2896 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 2897 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 2898 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 2899 the range to be avoided. 2900 2901 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 2902 2903 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 2904 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 2905 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 2906 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 2907 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 2908 2909- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 2910 2911 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 2912 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 2913 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 2914 2915- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 2916 2917 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 2918 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 2919 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 2920 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 2921 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 2922 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 2923 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 2924 2925Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 2926has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 2927created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 2928until then to read environment variables. 2929 2930The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 2931is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 2932with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 2933necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 2934"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 2935have any device yet where we could complain.] 2936 2937Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 2938the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 2939use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 2940 2941- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 2942 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 2943 2944 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 2945 also needs to be defined. 2946 2947- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 2948 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 2949 2950- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 2951 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 2952 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 2953 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 2954 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 2955 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 2956 2957Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 2958--------------------------------------------------- 2959 2960- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 2961 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 2962 2963- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 2964 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 2965 2966 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 2967 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 2968 the IMMR register after a reset. 2969 2970- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 2971 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 2972 PowerPC SOCs. 2973 2974- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 2975 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 2976 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 2977 2978 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 2979 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 2980 2981- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 2982 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 2983 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 2984 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 2985 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 2986 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 2987 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 2988 2989 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 2990 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 2991 2992- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 2993 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 2994 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 2995 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 2996 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 2997 2998- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 2999 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 3000 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3001 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3002 3003- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 3004 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 3005 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 3006 3007- Floppy Disk Support: 3008 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 3009 3010 the default drive number (default value 0) 3011 3012 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 3013 3014 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 3015 (default value 1) 3016 3017 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 3018 3019 defines the offset of register from address. It 3020 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 3021 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 3022 3023 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 3024 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 3025 default value. 3026 3027 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 3028 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 3029 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 3030 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 3031 initializations. 3032 3033- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 3034 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 3035 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 3036 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 3037 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 3038 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 3039 is requierd. 3040 3041- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 3042 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 3043 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 3044 3045- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 3046 3047 Start address of memory area that can be used for 3048 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 3049 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 3050 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 3051 will become available only after programming the 3052 memory controller and running certain initialization 3053 sequences. 3054 3055 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 3056 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 3057 - MPC824X: data cache 3058 - PPC4xx: data cache 3059 3060- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 3061 3062 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 3063 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 3064 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 3065 data is located at the end of the available space 3066 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 3067 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 3068 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 3069 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 3070 3071 Note: 3072 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 3073 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 3074 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 3075 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 3076 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 3077 3078- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 3079 3080- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 3081 3082- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 3083 3084- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 3085 3086- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 3087 3088- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 3089 3090- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 3091 SDRAM timing 3092 3093- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 3094 periodic timer for refresh 3095 3096- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 3097 3098- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 3099 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 3100 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 3101 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 3102 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 3103 3104- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 3105 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 3106 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 3107 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 3108 3109- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 3110 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 3111 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 3112 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 3113 3114- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3115 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3116 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 3117 3118- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3119 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3120 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 3121 3122- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 3123 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 3124 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 3125 3126- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 3127 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 3128 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 3129 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 3130 3131- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 3132 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 3133 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 3134 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 3135 cpm_8260.h. 3136 3137- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3138 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 3139 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 3140 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 3141 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 3142 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 3143 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 3144 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 3145 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 3146 3147- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 3148 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 3149 required. 3150 3151- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 3152 Chip has SRIO or not 3153 3154- CONFIG_SRIO1: 3155 Board has SRIO 1 port available 3156 3157- CONFIG_SRIO2: 3158 Board has SRIO 2 port available 3159 3160- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 3161 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3162 3163- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 3164 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3165 3166- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 3167 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3168 3169- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_16 3170 Defined to tell the NDFC that the NAND chip is using a 3171 16 bit bus. 3172 3173- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 3174 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 3175 a default value will be used. 3176 3177- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 3178 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 3179 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 3180 3181 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 3182 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 3183 3184- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 3185 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 3186 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 3187 to something your driver can deal with. 3188 3189- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 3190 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 3191 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 3192 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 3193 header files or board specific files. 3194 3195- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 3196 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 3197 3198- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 3199 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 3200 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 3201 3202- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 3203 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 3204 3205- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 3206 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 3207 to the given FEC; i. e. 3208 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 3209 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 3210 3211 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 3212 3213- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 3214 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 3215 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 3216 3217- CONFIG_RMII 3218 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 3219 Note that this is a global option, we can't 3220 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 3221 3222- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 3223 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 3224 The syntax is: 3225 3226 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 3227 3228 Where address/count indicate a memory area 3229 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 3230 area should have. 3231 3232- CONFIG_LOOPW 3233 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 3234 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3235 3236- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 3237 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 3238 "md/mw" commands. 3239 Examples: 3240 3241 => mdc.b 10 4 500 3242 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 3243 3244 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 3245 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 3246 3247 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 3248 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 3249 3250- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 3251 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 3252 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 3253 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 3254 relocate itself into RAM. 3255 3256 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 3257 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 3258 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 3259 these initializations itself. 3260 3261- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 3262 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 3263 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 3264 compiling a NAND SPL. 3265 3266- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3267 define this, if you want to read first the oob data 3268 and then the data. This is used for example on 3269 davinci plattforms. 3270 3271- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 3272 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 3273 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 3274 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 3275 conditions but may increase the binary size. 3276 3277Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 3278----------------------------------- 3279 3280The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 3281loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 3282This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 3283are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 3284within that device. 3285 3286- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_ADDR 3287 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 3288 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 3289 is also specified. 3290 3291- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 3292 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 3293 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 3294 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 3295 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 3296 3297- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 3298 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 3299 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 3300 virtual address in NOR flash. 3301 3302- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 3303 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 3304 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 3305 3306- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 3307 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 3308 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 3309 3310- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 3311 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 3312 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 3313 3314 3315Building the Software: 3316====================== 3317 3318Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 3319and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 3320all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 3321(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 3322recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 3323which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 3324 3325If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 3326have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 3327you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 3328Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 3329necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 3330 3331 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 3332 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 3333 3334Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 3335 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 3336 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 3337 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 3338 3339 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 3340 3341 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 3342 be executed on computers running Windows. 3343 3344U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 3345sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 3346is done by typing: 3347 3348 make NAME_config 3349 3350where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu- 3351rations; see the main Makefile for supported names. 3352 3353Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 3354 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 3355 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 3356 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 3357 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 3358 3359 make TQM823L_config 3360 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 3361 3362 make TQM823L_LCD_config 3363 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 3364 3365 etc. 3366 3367 3368Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 3369images ready for download to / installation on your system: 3370 3371- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 3372- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 3373- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 3374 3375By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 3376in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 3377this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 3378 33791. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 3380 3381 make O=/tmp/build distclean 3382 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config 3383 make O=/tmp/build all 3384 33852. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 3386 3387 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 3388 make distclean 3389 make NAME_config 3390 make all 3391 3392Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 3393variable. 3394 3395 3396Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 3397for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 3398native "make". 3399 3400 3401If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 3402to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 3403steps: 3404 34051. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 3406 "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing 3407 entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places 3408 boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please 3409 keep this order. 34102. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 3411 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 3412 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 34133. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 3414 your board 34153. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 3416 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 34174. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name. 34185. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 3419 to be installed on your target system. 34206. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 3421 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 3422 3423 3424Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 3425============================================================== 3426 3427If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 3428or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 3429provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 3430the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 3431official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 3432 3433But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 3434cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 3435the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 3436just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 3437for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 3438select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 3439environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 3440you can type 3441 3442 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 3443 3444or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 3445 3446 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 3447 3448When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 3449U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 3450setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 3451built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 3452<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 3453location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 3454variable. For example: 3455 3456 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 3457 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 3458 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 3459 3460With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 3461log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 3462during the whole build process. 3463 3464 3465See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 3466 3467 3468Monitor Commands - Overview: 3469============================ 3470 3471go - start application at address 'addr' 3472run - run commands in an environment variable 3473bootm - boot application image from memory 3474bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 3475tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 3476 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 3477 (and eventually "gatewayip") 3478tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 3479rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 3480diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 3481loads - load S-Record file over serial line 3482loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 3483md - memory display 3484mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 3485nm - memory modify (constant address) 3486mw - memory write (fill) 3487cp - memory copy 3488cmp - memory compare 3489crc32 - checksum calculation 3490i2c - I2C sub-system 3491sspi - SPI utility commands 3492base - print or set address offset 3493printenv- print environment variables 3494setenv - set environment variables 3495saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 3496protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 3497erase - erase FLASH memory 3498flinfo - print FLASH memory information 3499bdinfo - print Board Info structure 3500iminfo - print header information for application image 3501coninfo - print console devices and informations 3502ide - IDE sub-system 3503loop - infinite loop on address range 3504loopw - infinite write loop on address range 3505mtest - simple RAM test 3506icache - enable or disable instruction cache 3507dcache - enable or disable data cache 3508reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 3509echo - echo args to console 3510version - print monitor version 3511help - print online help 3512? - alias for 'help' 3513 3514 3515Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 3516======================================== 3517 3518TODO. 3519 3520For now: just type "help <command>". 3521 3522 3523Environment Variables: 3524====================== 3525 3526U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 3527can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 3528 3529Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 3530"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 3531without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 3532environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 3533working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 3534environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 3535 3536Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 3537 3538List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 3539 3540 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 3541 3542 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 3543 3544 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 3545 3546 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 3547 3548 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 3549 3550 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 3551 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 3552 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 3553 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 3554 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 3555 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 3556 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 3557 bootm_mapsize. 3558 3559 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 3560 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 3561 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 3562 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 3563 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 3564 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 3565 used otherwise. 3566 3567 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 3568 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 3569 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 3570 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 3571 environment variable. 3572 3573 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 3574 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 3575 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 3576 3577 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 3578 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 3579 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 3580 load any image using TFTP 3581 3582 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 3583 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 3584 be automatically started (by internally calling 3585 "bootm") 3586 3587 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 3588 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 3589 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 3590 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 3591 data. 3592 3593 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 3594 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 3595 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 3596 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 3597 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 3598 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 3599 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 3600 must be accessible by the kernel. 3601 3602 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 3603 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 3604 defined. 3605 3606 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 3607 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 3608 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 3609 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 3610 it must be saved and board must be reset. 3611 3612 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 3613 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 3614 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 3615 is usually what you want since it allows for 3616 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 3617 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 3618 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 3619 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 3620 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 3621 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 3622 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 3623 3624 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 3625 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 3626 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 3627 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 3628 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 3629 12 MB as well - this can be done with 3630 3631 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 3632 3633 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 3634 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 3635 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 3636 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 3637 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 3638 boot time on your system, but requires that this 3639 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 3640 3641 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3642 3643 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 3644 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 3645 3646 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 3647 3648 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3649 3650 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 3651 3652 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 3653 3654 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 3655 3656 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 3657 3658 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 3659 For example you can do the following 3660 3661 => setenv ethact FEC 3662 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 3663 => setenv ethact SCC 3664 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 3665 3666 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 3667 available network interfaces. 3668 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 3669 3670 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 3671 either succeed or fail without retrying. 3672 When set to "once" the network operation will 3673 fail when all the available network interfaces 3674 are tried once without success. 3675 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 3676 themselves. 3677 3678 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 3679 3680 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 3681 UDP source port. 3682 3683 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 3684 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 3685 3686 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 3687 we use the TFTP server's default block size 3688 3689 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 3690 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 3691 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 3692 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 3693 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 3694 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 3695 with unreliable TFTP servers. 3696 3697 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 3698 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 3699 VLAN tagged frames. 3700 3701The following image location variables contain the location of images 3702used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 3703not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 3704variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 3705server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 3706loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 3707flash or offset in NAND flash. 3708 3709*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 3710boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 3711boards use these variables for other purposes. 3712 3713Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 3714----- --------- ----------- -------------- 3715u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 3716Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 3717device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 3718ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 3719 3720The following environment variables may be used and automatically 3721updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 3722depending the information provided by your boot server: 3723 3724 bootfile - see above 3725 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 3726 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 3727 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 3728 hostname - Target hostname 3729 ipaddr - see above 3730 netmask - Subnet Mask 3731 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 3732 serverip - see above 3733 3734 3735There are two special Environment Variables: 3736 3737 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 3738 as type string and/or serial number 3739 ethaddr - Ethernet address 3740 3741These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 3742the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 3743once they have been set once. 3744 3745 3746Further special Environment Variables: 3747 3748 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 3749 with the "version" command. This variable is 3750 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 3751 3752 3753Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 3754only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 3755 3756 3757Command Line Parsing: 3758===================== 3759 3760There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 3761the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 3762 3763Old, simple command line parser: 3764-------------------------------- 3765 3766- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 3767- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 3768- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 3769- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 3770 for example: 3771 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 3772- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 3773 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 3774 3775Hush shell: 3776----------- 3777 3778- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 3779 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 3780 until...do...done, ... 3781- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 3782 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 3783 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 3784 command 3785 3786General rules: 3787-------------- 3788 3789(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 3790 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 3791 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 3792 executed anyway. 3793 3794(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 3795 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 3796 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 3797 variables are not executed. 3798 3799Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 3800======================================= 3801 3802Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 3803such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 3804"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 3805 3806Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 3807MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 3808"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 3809 3810If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 3811in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 3812ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 3813variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 3814 3815o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 3816 environment, the SROM's address is used. 3817 3818o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 3819 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 3820 used. 3821 3822o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 3823 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 3824 3825o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 3826 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 3827 warning is printed. 3828 3829o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 3830 is raised. 3831 3832If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 3833will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 3834may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 3835The naming convention is as follows: 3836"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 3837 3838Image Formats: 3839============== 3840 3841U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 3842images in two formats: 3843 3844New uImage format (FIT) 3845----------------------- 3846 3847Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 3848to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 3849components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 3850SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 3851 3852 3853Old uImage format 3854----------------- 3855 3856Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 3857preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 3858details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 3859 3860* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 3861 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 3862 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 3863 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 3864 INTEGRITY). 3865* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 3866 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 3867 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 3868* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 3869* Load Address 3870* Entry Point 3871* Image Name 3872* Image Timestamp 3873 3874The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 3875and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 3876CRC32 checksums. 3877 3878 3879Linux Support: 3880============== 3881 3882Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 3883easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 3884U-Boot. 3885 3886U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 3887special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 3888"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 3889instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 3890serves several purposes: 3891 3892- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 3893 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 3894 Flash memory footprint) 3895 3896- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 3897 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 3898 3899- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 3900 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 3901 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 3902 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 3903 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 3904 software is easier now. 3905 3906 3907Linux HOWTO: 3908============ 3909 3910Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 3911--------------------------------------- 3912 3913U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 3914configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 3915(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 3916Linux :-). 3917 3918But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 3919 3920Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 3921include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 3922Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 3923and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 3924as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 3925 3926 3927Configuring the Linux kernel: 3928----------------------------- 3929 3930No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 3931device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 3932 3933 3934Building a Linux Image: 3935----------------------- 3936 3937With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 3938not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 3939"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 3940U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 3941which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 3942100% compatible format. 3943 3944Example: 3945 3946 make TQM850L_config 3947 make oldconfig 3948 make dep 3949 make uImage 3950 3951The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 3952encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 3953CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 3954 3955* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 3956 3957* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 3958 3959 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 3960 -R .note -R .comment \ 3961 -S vmlinux linux.bin 3962 3963* compress the binary image: 3964 3965 gzip -9 linux.bin 3966 3967* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 3968 3969 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 3970 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 3971 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 3972 3973 3974The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 3975with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 3976combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 3977byte header containing information about target architecture, 3978operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 3979stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 3980 3981"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 3982print the header information, or to build new images. 3983 3984In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 3985contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 3986checksum verification: 3987 3988 tools/mkimage -l image 3989 -l ==> list image header information 3990 3991The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 3992from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 3993 3994 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 3995 -n name -d data_file image 3996 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 3997 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 3998 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 3999 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 4000 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 4001 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 4002 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 4003 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 4004 4005Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 4006address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 4007kernel version: 4008 4009- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 4010- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 4011 4012So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 4013 4014 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4015 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 4016 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 4017 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 4018 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4019 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4020 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4021 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4022 Load Address: 0x00000000 4023 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4024 4025To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 4026 4027 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 4028 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4029 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4030 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4031 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4032 Load Address: 0x00000000 4033 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4034 4035NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 4036speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 4037needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 4038need to be uncompressed: 4039 4040 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 4041 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4042 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 4043 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 4044 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 4045 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4046 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4047 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 4048 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 4049 Load Address: 0x00000000 4050 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4051 4052 4053Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 4054when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 4055 4056 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 4057 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 4058 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 4059 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 4060 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 4061 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 4062 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 4063 Load Address: 0x00000000 4064 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4065 4066 4067Installing a Linux Image: 4068------------------------- 4069 4070To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 4071you must convert the image to S-Record format: 4072 4073 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 4074 4075The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 4076image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 4077address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 4258 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 4259 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 4260 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 4261 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 4262 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 4263 being started. 4264 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 4265 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 4266 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 4267 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 4268 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 4269 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 4270 4271 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 4272 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 4273 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 4274 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 4275 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 4276 a multiple of 4 bytes). 4277 4278 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 4279 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 4280 flash memory. 4281 4282 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 4283 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 4284 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 4285 as command interpreter. 4286 4287 4288Standalone HOWTO: 4289================= 4290 4291One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 4292run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 4293U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 4294 4295Two simple examples are included with the sources: 4296 4297"Hello World" Demo: 4298------------------- 4299 4300'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 4301application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 4302It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 4303like that: 4304 4305 => loads 4306 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4307 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 4308 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4309 [file transfer complete] 4310 [connected] 4311 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4312 4313 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 4334controlled by the following keys: 4335 4336 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 4337 b - enable interrupts and start timer 4338 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 4339 q - quit application 4340 4341 => loads 4342 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4343 ~>examples/timer.srec 4344 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4345 [file transfer complete] 4346 [connected] 4347 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4348 4349 => go 40004 4350 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 4351 TIMERS=0xfff00980 4352 Using timer 1 4353 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 4354 4355Hit 'b': 4356 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 4357 Enabling timer 4358Hit '?': 4359 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 4360 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 4361Hit '?': 4362 [q, b, e, ?] . 4363 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 4364Hit '?': 4365 [q, b, e, ?] . 4366 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 4367Hit '?': 4368 [q, b, e, ?] . 4369 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 4370Hit 'e': 4371 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 4372Hit 'q': 4373 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 4374 4375 4376Minicom warning: 4377================ 4378 4379Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 4380"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 4381consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 4406 4407 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 4408 # mkdir powerpc 4409 # ln -s powerpc machine 4410 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 4411 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 4412 4413Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 4414and U-Boot include files. 4415 4416Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 4417stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 4418proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 4419tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 4420meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 4421 4422 4423Implementation Internals: 4424========================= 4425 4426The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 4427implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 4428inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 4429hardware. 4430 4431 4432Initial Stack, Global Data: 4433--------------------------- 4434 4435The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 4436starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 4437system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 4438This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 4439is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 4440at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 4441options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 4442models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 4443MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 4444locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 4445 4446 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 4447 U-Boot mailing list: 4448 4449 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 4450 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 4451 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 4452 ... 4453 4454 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 4455 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 4456 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 4457 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 4458 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 4459 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 4460 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 4461 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 4462 4463 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 4464 is another option for the system designer to use as an 4465 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 4466 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 4467 board designers haven't used it for something that would 4468 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 4469 used. 4470 4471 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 4472 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 4473 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 4474 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 4475 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 4476 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 4477 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 4478 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 4479 you get the config right. 4480 4481 -Chris Hallinan 4482 DS4.COM, Inc. 4483 4484It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 4485code for the initialization procedures: 4486 4487* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 4488 to write it. 4489 4490* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 4491 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 4492 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 4493 4494* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 4495 that. 4496 4497Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 4498normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 4499turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 4500simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 4501functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 4502functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 4503the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 4504place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 4505reserve for this purpose. 4506 4507When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 4508relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 4509GCC's implementation. 4510 4511For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 4512 R1: stack pointer 4513 R2: reserved for system use 4514 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 4515 R5-R10: parameter passing 4516 R13: small data area pointer 4517 R30: GOT pointer 4518 R31: frame pointer 4519 4520 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 4521 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 4522 going back and forth between asm and C) 4523 4524 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 4525 4526 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 4527 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 4528 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 4529 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 4530 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 4531 624 text + 127 data). 4532 4533On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 4534 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 4535 4536 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 4537 4538On ARM, the following registers are used: 4539 4540 R0: function argument word/integer result 4541 R1-R3: function argument word 4542 R9: GOT pointer 4543 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking if enabled) 4544 R11: argument (frame) pointer 4545 R12: temporary workspace 4546 R13: stack pointer 4547 R14: link register 4548 R15: program counter 4549 4550 ==> U-Boot will use R8 to hold a pointer to the global data 4551 4552On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 4553 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 4554 4555 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 4556 4557 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 4558 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 4559 4560On NDS32, the following registers are used: 4561 4562 R0-R1: argument/return 4563 R2-R5: argument 4564 R15: temporary register for assembler 4565 R16: trampoline register 4566 R28: frame pointer (FP) 4567 R29: global pointer (GP) 4568 R30: link register (LP) 4569 R31: stack pointer (SP) 4570 PC: program counter (PC) 4571 4572 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 4573 4574NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 4575or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 4576 4577Memory Management: 4578------------------ 4579 4580U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 4581MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 4582 4583The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 4584controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 4585memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 4586physical memory banks. 4587 4588U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 4589TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 4590booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 4591to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 4592memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 4593configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 4594Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 4595 4596Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 4597of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 4598 4599So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 4600this: 4601 4602 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 4603 : 4604 0x0000 1FFF 4605 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 4606 : 4607 : 4608 4609 : 4610 : 4611 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 4612 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 4613 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 4614 : 4615 0x00FD FFFF 4616 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 4617 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 4618 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 4619 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 4620 4621 4622System Initialization: 4623---------------------- 4624 4625In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 4626(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 4627configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 4628To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 4629To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 4630initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 4631which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 4632part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 4633the caches and the SIU. 4634 4635Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 4636preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 4637(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 4638on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 4639programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 4640simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 4641banks. 4642 4643When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 4644different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 4645bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 46460x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 4647contiguous memory starting from 0. 4648 4649Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 4650and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 4651Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 4652pages, and the final stack is set up. 4653 4654Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 4655until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 4656running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 4657new address in RAM. 4658 4659 4660U-Boot Porting Guide: 4661---------------------- 4662 4663[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 4664list, October 2002] 4665 4666 4667int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 4668{ 4669 sighandler_t no_more_time; 4670 4671 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 4672 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 4673 4674 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 4675 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 4676 return 0; 4677 } 4678 4679 Download latest U-Boot source; 4680 4681 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 4682 4683 if (clueless) 4684 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 4685 4686 while (learning) { 4687 Read the README file in the top level directory; 4688 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 4689 Read applicable doc/*.README; 4690 Read the source, Luke; 4691 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 4692 } 4693 4694 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 4695 Buy a BDI3000; 4696 else 4697 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 4698 4699 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 4700 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 4701 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 4702 } else { 4703 Create your own board support subdirectory; 4704 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 4705 } 4706 Edit new board/<myboard> files 4707 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 4708 4709 while (!accepted) { 4710 while (!running) { 4711 do { 4712 Add / modify source code; 4713 } until (compiles); 4714 Debug; 4715 if (clueless) 4716 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 4717 } 4718 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 4719 if (reasonable critiques) 4720 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 4721 else 4722 Defend code as written; 4723 } 4724 4725 return 0; 4726} 4727 4728void no_more_time (int sig) 4729{ 4730 hire_a_guru(); 4731} 4732 4733 4734Coding Standards: 4735----------------- 4736 4737All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 4738coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 4739"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 4740 4741Source files originating from a different project (for example the 4742MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 4743reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 4744sources. 4745 4746Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 4747Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 4748in your code. 4749 4750Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 4751- remove any trailing white space 4752- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 4753- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 4754- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 4755- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 4756 4757Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 4758with a request to reformat the changes. 4759 4760 4761Submitting Patches: 4762------------------- 4763 4764Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 4765establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 4766may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 4767 4768Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 4769 4770Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 4771see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 4772 4773When you send a patch, please include the following information with 4774it: 4775 4776* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 4777 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 4778 patch actually fixes something. 4779 4780* For new features: a description of the feature and your 4781 implementation. 4782 4783* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 4784 4785* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 4786 4787* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this 4788 board to the MAINTAINERS file, too. 4789 4790* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 4791 document these in the README file. 4792 4793* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 4794 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 4795 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 4796 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 4797 with some other mail clients. 4798 4799 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 4800 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 4801 GNU diff. 4802 4803 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 4804 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 4805 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 4806 affected files). 4807 4808 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 4809 and compressed attachments must not be used. 4810 4811* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 4812 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 4813 4814* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 4815 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 4816 4817 4818Notes: 4819 4820* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 4821 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 4822 for any of the boards. 4823 4824* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 4825 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 4826 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 4827 4828* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 4829 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 4830 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 4831 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 4832 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 4833 modification. 4834 4835* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 4836 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 4837 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 4838 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 4839
