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

168
169Software Configuration:
170=======================
171
172Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
173rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
174
175There are two classes of configuration variables:
176
177* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
178  These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
179  "CONFIG_".
180
181* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
182  These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
183  you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
184  "CONFIG_SYS_".
185
186Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
187symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
188U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
189allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
190build.
191
192
193Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
194---------------------------------------------------
195
196For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
197configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
198
199Example: For a TQM823L module type:
200
201	cd u-boot
202	make TQM823L_defconfig
203
204Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
205you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
206doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
207
208Sandbox Environment:
209--------------------
210
211U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
212board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
213specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
214run some of U-Boot's tests.
215
216See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
217
218
219Board Initialisation Flow:
220--------------------------
221
222This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
223SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
224
225Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
226more detail later in this file.
227
228At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
229and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
230may not conform to this.  At least most ARM boards which use
231CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
232
233Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
234CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
235
236	- arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
237	- arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
238	- arch/mips/cpu/start.S
239
240and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
241limitations of each of these functions are described below.
242
243lowlevel_init():
244	- purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
245	- no global_data or BSS
246	- there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
247	- must not set up SDRAM or use console
248	- must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
249		board_init_f()
250	- this is almost never needed
251	- return normally from this function
252
253board_init_f():
254	- purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
255		i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
256	- global_data is available
257	- stack is in SRAM
258	- BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
259		only stack variables and global_data
260
261	Non-SPL-specific notes:
262	- dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
263		can do nothing
264
265	SPL-specific notes:
266	- you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
267		version as needed.
268	- preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
269	- should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
270	- these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
271	- must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
272		directly)
273
274Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
275this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
276CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
277memory.
278
279board_init_r():
280	- purpose: main execution, common code
281	- global_data is available
282	- SDRAM is available
283	- BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
284	- execution eventually continues to main_loop()
285
286	Non-SPL-specific notes:
287	- U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
288		there.
289
290	SPL-specific notes:
291	- stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
292		CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
293	- preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
294		done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
295		spl_board_init() function containing this call
296	- loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
297

300Configuration Options:
301----------------------
302
303Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
304such information is kept in a configuration file
305"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
306
307Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
308"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
309
310
311Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
312kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
313build a config tool - later.
314
315
316The following options need to be configured:
317
318- CPU Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
319
320- Board Type:	Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
321
322- Marvell Family Member
323		CONFIG_SYS_MVFS		- define it if you want to enable
324					  multiple fs option at one time
325					  for marvell soc family
326
327- 85xx CPU Options:
328		CONFIG_SYS_PPC64
329
330		Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements
331		the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR
332		compliance, among other possible reasons.
333
334		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV
335
336		Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the
337		system clock.  On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ
338		devices it can be 16 or 32.  The ratio varies from SoC to Soc.
339
340		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT
341
342		Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device
343		tree nodes for the given platform.
344
345		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510
346
347		Enables a workaround for erratum A004510.  If set,
348		then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and
349		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set.
350
351		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV
352		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional)
353
354		Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR)
355		for which the A004510 workaround should be applied.
356
357		The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision
358		of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus
359		p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls
360		whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set.
361
362		See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about
363		this erratum.
364
365		CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND
366		Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only
367		required during NOR boot.
368
369		CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND
370		Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only
371		required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision
372
373		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY
374
375		This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600
376		according to the A004510 workaround.
377
378		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR
379		This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is
380		connected exclusively to the DSP cores.
381
382		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR
383		This value denotes start offset of M2 memory
384		which is directly connected to the DSP core.
385
386		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR
387		This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly
388		connected to the DSP core.
389
390		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT
391		This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space.
392
393		CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK
394		Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's.
395		In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply
396		clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock.
397
398		CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F
399		This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the
400		time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized.
401
402		CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP
403		Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is
404		supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up.
405
406- Generic CPU options:
407		CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA
408		Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f().
409		If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in
410		generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board
411		should initialize global data before calling board_init_f().
412
413		CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN
414
415		Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those
416		values is arch specific.

563
564		COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL
565		Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is
566		different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined
567		at run time.
568
569- Tegra SoC options:
570		CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE
571
572		Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain
573		impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode,
574		such as ARM architectural timer initialization.
575
576- Linux Kernel Interface:
577		CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
578
579		U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
580		internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
581		kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
582		bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
583		"clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
584		converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
585		Linux kernel.
586		When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
587		"clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
588		default environment.
589
590		CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES		[relevant for MIPS only]
591
592		When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
593		expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
594		Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
595
596		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
597
598		New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
599		passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
600		concepts).
601
602		CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
603		 * New libfdt-based support
604		 * Adds the "fdt" command
605		 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt
606
607		OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency.
608		OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device
609
610		boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC
611		addresses
612
613		CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
614
615		Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
616		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
617
618		CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
619
620		Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
621		to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
622		This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
623		the kernel.
624
625		CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
626
627		U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
628		If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
629		removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
630		so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
631		crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
632		no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
633
634		CONFIG_MACH_TYPE	[relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
635
636		This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
637		machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
638		number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
639		(see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
640		Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
641		in a single configuration file and the machine type is
642		runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
643
644- vxWorks boot parameters:
645
646		bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
647		environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
648		serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
649		It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
650
651		Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
652		the defaults discussed just above.
653
654- Cache Configuration:
655		CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot
656		CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot
657		CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot
658
659- Cache Configuration for ARM:
660		CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache
661				      controller
662		CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310
663					controller register space
664
665- Serial Ports:
666		CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
667
668		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
669
670		CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
671
672		Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
673
674		CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
675
676		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
677		the clock speed of the UARTs.
678
679		CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
680
681		If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
682		define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
683		port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
684
685		CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
686
687		Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
688		Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
689
690- Console Baudrate:
691		CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
692		Select one of the baudrates listed in
693		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
694
695- Autoboot Command:
696		CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
697		Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
698		define a command string that is automatically executed
699		when no character is read on the console interface
700		within "Boot Delay" after reset.
701
702		CONFIG_BOOTARGS
703		This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
704		command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
705		environment value "bootargs".
706
707		CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
708		The value of these goes into the environment as
709		"ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
710		as a convenience, when switching between booting from
711		RAM and NFS.
712
713- Bootcount:
714		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
715		Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
716		cycle, see:
717		http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
718
719		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
720		If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
721		"bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
722		saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
723		"upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
724		0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
725		1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
726		So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
727		and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
728
729- Pre-Boot Commands:
730		CONFIG_PREBOOT
731
732		When this option is #defined, the existence of the
733		environment variable "preboot" will be checked
734		immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
735		countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
736		entering interactive mode.
737
738		This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
739		automatically generated or modified. For an example
740		see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
741		modified when the user holds down a certain
742		combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
743		booting the systems
744
745- Serial Download Echo Mode:
746		CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
747		If defined to 1, all characters received during a
748		serial download (using the "loads" command) are
749		echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
750		emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
751		time on others. This setting #define's the initial
752		value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
753
754- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
755		CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
756		Select one of the baudrates listed in
757		CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
758
759- Monitor Functions:
760		Monitor commands can be included or excluded
761		from the build by using the #include files
762		<config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
763		commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
764
765		The default command configuration includes all commands
766		except those marked below with a "*".
767

846		EXAMPLE: If you want all functions except of network
847		support you can write:
848
849		#include "config_cmd_all.h"
850		#undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
851
852	Other Commands:
853		fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
854
855	Note:	Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
856		(configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
857		what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
858		cache cannot be enabled on systems like the
859		8xx (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
860		uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
861		systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
862		initial stack and some data.
863
864
865		XXX - this list needs to get updated!
866
867- Removal of commands
868		If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
869		CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
870		will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
871		boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
872		instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
873		simple boot procedures.
874
875- Regular expression support:
876		CONFIG_REGEX
877		If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
878		the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
879		which adds regex support to some commands, as for
880		example "env grep" and "setexpr".
881
882- Device tree:
883		CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
884		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
885		to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
886		compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
887		experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
888		tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
889
890		U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
891		be done using one of the three options below:
892
893		CONFIG_OF_EMBED
894		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
895		binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
896		board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
897		is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
898		the global data structure as gd->blob.
899
900		CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
901		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
902		binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
903		code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
904
905			cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
906
907		and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
908		u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
909		still use the individual files if you need something more
910		exotic.
911
912		CONFIG_OF_BOARD
913		If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree
914		provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with
915		the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support
916		this option (see include/fdtdec.h file).
917
918- Watchdog:
919		CONFIG_WATCHDOG
920		If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
921		support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
922		specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx
923		CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
924		register.  When supported for a specific SoC is
925		available, then no further board specific code should
926		be needed to use it.
927
928		CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
929		When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
930		SoC, then define this variable and provide board
931		specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
932
933		CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
934		specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
935
936- U-Boot Version:
937		CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
938		If this variable is defined, an environment variable
939		named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
940		version as printed by the "version" command.
941		Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
942		next reset.
943
944- Real-Time Clock:
945
946		When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
947		has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
948		following options:
949
950		CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563	- use Philips PCF8563 RTC
951		CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX	- use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
952		CONFIG_RTC_MC146818	- use MC146818 RTC
953		CONFIG_RTC_DS1307	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
954		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
955		CONFIG_RTC_DS1338	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
956		CONFIG_RTC_DS1339	- use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
957		CONFIG_RTC_DS164x	- use Dallas DS164x RTC
958		CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208	- use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
959		CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900	- use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
960		CONFIG_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC	- Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
961		CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR	- enable trickle charger on
962					  RV3029 RTC.
963
964		Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
965		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
966
967- GPIO Support:
968		CONFIG_PCA953X		- use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
969
970		The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
971		chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
972		pins supported by a particular chip.
973
974		Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
975		must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
976
977- I/O tracing:
978		When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
979		accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
980		to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
981		useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
982		the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
983		change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
984		add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
985		to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
986
987		Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
988		Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
989		still continue to operate.
990
991			iotrace is enabled
992			Start:  10000000	(buffer start address)
993			Size:   00010000	(buffer size)
994			Offset: 00000120	(current buffer offset)
995			Output: 10000120	(start + offset)
996			Count:  00000018	(number of trace records)
997			CRC32:  9526fb66	(CRC32 of all trace records)
998
999- Timestamp Support:
1000
1001		When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1002		(date and time) of an image is printed by image
1003		commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
1004		automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
1005
1006- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1007		Zero or more of the following:
1008		CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION   Apple's MacOS partition table.
1009		CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION   ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1010		CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION   GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1011				       bootloader.  Note 2TB partition limit; see
1012				       disk/part_efi.c
1013		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS  Memory Technology Device partition table.
1014
1015		If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_IDE or
1016		CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
1017		least one non-MTD partition type as well.
1018
1019- IDE Reset method:
1020		CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1021		board configurations files but used nowhere!
1022
1023		CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1024		be performed by calling the function
1025			ide_set_reset(int reset)
1026		which has to be defined in a board specific file
1027
1028- ATAPI Support:
1029		CONFIG_ATAPI
1030
1031		Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1032
1033- LBA48 Support
1034		CONFIG_LBA48
1035
1036		Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
1037		Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
1038		Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1039		support disks up to 2.1TB.
1040
1041		CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
1042			When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1043			Default is 32bit.
1044
1045- SCSI Support:
1046		At the moment only there is only support for the
1047		SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1048		CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1049
1050		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1051		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1052		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
1053		maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1054		devices.
1055		CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
1056
1057		The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1058		SCSI devices found during the last scan.
1059
1060- NETWORK Support (PCI):
1061		CONFIG_E1000
1062		Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1063

1220
1221		CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS
1222		Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library.
1223		Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1.
1224
1225- USB Support:
1226		At the moment only the UHCI host controller is
1227		supported (PIP405, MIP405); define
1228		CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it.
1229		define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard
1230		and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB
1231		storage devices.
1232		Note:
1233		Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives
1234		(TEAC FD-05PUB).
1235

1241
1242- USB Device:
1243		Define the below if you wish to use the USB console.
1244		Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the
1245		command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and
1246		attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
1247		it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
1248		can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
1249		appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
1250		Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
1251		If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
1252		a Linux host by
1253		# modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
1254		else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
1255		variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
1256		might be defined in YourBoardName.h
1257
1258			CONFIG_USB_DEVICE
1259			Define this to build a UDC device
1260
1261			CONFIG_USB_TTY
1262			Define this to have a tty type of device available to
1263			talk to the UDC device
1264
1265			CONFIG_USBD_HS
1266			Define this to enable the high speed support for usb
1267			device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine
1268			int is_usbd_high_speed(void)
1269			also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll
1270			whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full
1271			speed.
1272
1273			CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV
1274			Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to
1275			be set to usbtty.
1276
1277		If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to
1278		define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h
1279		or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define
1280		CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME,
1281		CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot
1282		should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host.
1283
1284			CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER
1285			Define this string as the name of your company for
1286			- CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company"
1287
1288			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME
1289			Define this string as the name of your product
1290			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device"
1291
1292			CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID
1293			Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB
1294			Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID
1295			to avoid polluting the USB namespace.
1296			- CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF
1297
1298			CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID
1299			Define this as the unique Product ID
1300			for your device
1301			- CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF
1302
1303- ULPI Layer Support:
1304		The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1305		the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1306		via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1307		the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1308		viewport is supported.
1309		To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1310		CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
1311		If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1312		standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1313		the appropriate value in Hz.
1314
1315- MMC Support:
1316		The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To
1317		enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be
1318		accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device
1319		to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is
1320		enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with
1321		the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT.
1322
1323		CONFIG_SH_MMCIF
1324		Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller
1325
1326			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR
1327			Define the base address of MMCIF registers
1328
1329			CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK
1330			Define the clock frequency for MMCIF
1331
1332		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT
1333		Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions.
1334
1335		CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB
1336		Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the
1337		key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC.
1338
1339- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support:
1340		CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_DFU
1341		This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1342
1343		CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1344		This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1345		U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB.  This command
1346		requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1347		set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1348
1349		CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1350		This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1351
1352		CONFIG_DFU_NAND
1353		This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU.
1354
1355		CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1356		This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1357		Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1358		allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1359		one that would help mostly the developer.
1360
1361		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1362		Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1363		raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1364		configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1365		through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1366
1367		CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1368		When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1369		we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1370		the buffer once we've been given the whole file.  Define
1371		this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1372		Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1373
1374		DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1375		Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1376		host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1377		a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1378
1379		DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1380		Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1381		entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1382		sending again an USB request to the device.
1383
1384- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1385		CONFIG_USB_FUNCTION_FASTBOOT
1386		This enables the USB part of the fastboot gadget
1387
1388		CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1389		This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1390		fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1391		protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1392		used on Android devices.
1393		See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1394
1395		CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1396		This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1397		image format header.
1398
1399		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1400		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1401		downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1402		downloaded images.
1403
1404		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1405		The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1406		downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1407		platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1408
1409		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1410		The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1411		the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1412		this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1413
1414		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1415		The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1416		regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1417		the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1418
1419		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1420		The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1421		image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1422		Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1423		to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1424		This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1425		"fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1426		The default is "gpt" if undefined.
1427
1428		CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1429		The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1430		image to DOS MBR.
1431		This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1432		"fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1433		If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.
1434
1435- Journaling Flash filesystem support:
1436		CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND
1437		Define these for a default partition on a NAND device
1438
1439		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR,
1440		CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS
1441		Define these for a default partition on a NOR device
1442
1443- Keyboard Support:
1444		See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers.
1445
1446		CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1447
1448		Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1449		This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1450		defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1451		and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1452		instead.
1453
1454- Video support:
1455		CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB
1456		Enable the Freescale DIU video driver.	Reference boards for
1457		SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1458		support, and should also define these other macros:
1459
1460			CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR
1461			CONFIG_VIDEO
1462			CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
1463			CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR
1464			CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE
1465			CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO
1466			CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO
1467
1468		The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1469		variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1470		boot.  See the documentation file doc/README.video for a
1471		description of this variable.
1472
1473- LCD Support:	CONFIG_LCD
1474
1475		Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD
1476		display); also select one of the supported displays
1477		by defining one of these:
1478
1479		CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD:
1480
1481			HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320.
1482
1483		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33:
1484
1485			NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan.
1486
1487		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20
1488
1489			NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480.
1490			Active, color, single scan.
1491
1492		CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54
1493
1494			NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480.
1495			Active, color, single scan.
1496
1497		CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1498
1499			Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan.
1500			It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1501
1502		CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341
1503
1504			Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480.
1505			Active, color, single scan.
1506
1507		CONFIG_HLD1045
1508
1509			HLD1045 display, 640x480.
1510			Active, color, single scan.
1511
1512		CONFIG_OPTREX_BW
1513
1514			Optrex	 CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5
1515			or
1516			Hitachi	 LMG6912RPFC-00T
1517			or
1518			Hitachi	 SP14Q002
1519
1520			320x240. Black & white.
1521
1522		CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1523
1524		Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
1525		defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1526		For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1527		here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1528		a per-section basis.
1529
1530
1531		CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1532
1533		Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1534		mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1535		we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1536		framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1537		printed out.
1538		Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1539		initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1540		"vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1541		The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1542		fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1543		0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1544		1 = 90 degree rotation
1545		2 = 180 degree rotation
1546		3 = 270 degree rotation
1547
1548		If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1549		initialized with 0degree rotation.
1550
1551		CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1552
1553		Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1554
1555		CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1556
1557		Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1558		information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1559
1560- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
1561
1562		If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1563		a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1564		of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
1565		is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
1566		specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1567		console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1568		allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1569		loaded very quickly after power-on.
1570
1571		CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1572
1573		If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1574		variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
1575		(see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
1576		This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1577		restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1578		abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1579		accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1580		there is no need to set this option.
1581
1582		CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1583
1584		If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1585		on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1586		position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1587		number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1588		is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1589		specify 'm' for centering the image.
1590
1591		Example:
1592		setenv splashpos m,m
1593			=> image at center of screen
1594
1595		setenv splashpos 30,20
1596			=> image at x = 30 and y = 20
1597
1598		setenv splashpos -10,m
1599			=> vertically centered image
1600			   at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1601
1602- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1603
1604		If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1605		images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1606		splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1607
1608- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1609
1610		If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1611		can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1612		bmp command.
1613
1614- Compression support:
1615		CONFIG_GZIP
1616
1617		Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1618
1619		CONFIG_BZIP2
1620
1621		If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1622		images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1623		compressed images are supported.
1624
1625		NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
1626		the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
1627		be at least 4MB.
1628
1629		CONFIG_LZO
1630
1631		If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1632		is included.
1633
1634- MII/PHY support:
1635		CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1636
1637		The address of PHY on MII bus.
1638
1639		CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1640
1641		The clock frequency of the MII bus
1642
1643		CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1644
1645		If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
1646		detection of gigabit PHY is included.
1647
1648		CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1649
1650		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1651		reset before any MII register access is possible.
1652		For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1653		required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1654
1655		CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1656
1657		Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1658		command issued before MII status register can be read
1659
1660- IP address:
1661		CONFIG_IPADDR
1662
1663		Define a default value for the IP address to use for
1664		the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
1665		determined through e.g. bootp.
1666		(Environment variable "ipaddr")
1667
1668- Server IP address:
1669		CONFIG_SERVERIP
1670
1671		Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
1672		server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
1673		(Environment variable "serverip")
1674
1675		CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1676
1677		Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1678		for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1679
1680- Gateway IP address:
1681		CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1682
1683		Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1684		default router where packets to other networks are
1685		sent to.
1686		(Environment variable "gatewayip")
1687
1688- Subnet mask:
1689		CONFIG_NETMASK
1690
1691		Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1692		routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1693		address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1694		forwarded through a router.
1695		(Environment variable "netmask")
1696
1697- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1698		CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1699
1700		Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1701		rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp.  Lets lots of targets
1702		tftp down the same boot image concurrently.  Note: the Ethernet
1703		driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1704		multicast group.
1705
1706- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1707		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1708
1709		If you have many targets in a network that try to
1710		boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1711		systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1712		moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1713		from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1714		boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1715		CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1716		inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
1717		following delays are inserted then:
1718
1719		1st BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 1 sec
1720		2nd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 2 sec
1721		3rd BOOTP request:	delay 0 ... 4 sec
1722		4th and following
1723		BOOTP requests:		delay 0 ... 8 sec
1724
1725		CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1726
1727		BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1728		server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1729		U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1730		an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1731		aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1732		ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1733		respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1734		takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1735		time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1736		to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1737		retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1738		IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1739		cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1740		requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1741		from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1742
1743- DHCP Advanced Options:
1744		You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1745		CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:
1746
1747		CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK
1748		CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY
1749		CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME
1750		CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN
1751		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH
1752		CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE
1753		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1754		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2
1755		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME
1756		CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER
1757		CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET
1758		CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
1759		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
1760
1761		CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1762		environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
1763
1764		CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1765		after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1766		instead of starting over.  This can be used to fail over
1767		to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1768		is not available.
1769
1770		CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1771		serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1772		than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1773		If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1774		serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1775		variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1776		stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
1777		is defined.
1778
1779		CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1780		to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1781		need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
1782		If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
1783		of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1784		option 12 to the DHCP server.
1785
1786		CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1787
1788		A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1789		receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1790		This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1791		respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1792		AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1793		to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1794		DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1795		least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1796		that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1797		the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1798		this delay.
1799
1800 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1801		Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1802		for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1803		This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1804		to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
1805
1806		See doc/README.link-local for more information.
1807
1808 - CDP Options:
1809		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
1810
1811		The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1812
1813		CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1814
1815		A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1816		of the device.
1817
1818		CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1819
1820		A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1821		the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
1822		eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
1823
1824		CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1825
1826		A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1827		0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1828
1829		CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1830
1831		An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1832
1833		CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1834
1835		An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1836
1837		CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER
1838
1839		A 32bit integer sent on the trigger.
1840
1841		CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION
1842
1843		A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the
1844		device in .1 of milliwatts.
1845
1846		CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE
1847
1848		A byte containing the id of the VLAN.
1849
1850- Status LED:	CONFIG_LED_STATUS
1851
1852		Several configurations allow to display the current
1853		status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1854		fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1855		soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1856		start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1857		(supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1858		kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
1859		feature in U-Boot.
1860
1861		Additional options:
1862
1863		CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1864		The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1865		In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
1866		status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
1867		to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
1868
1869		CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
1870		Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
1871		case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
1872		GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
1873		In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
1874		with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
1875
1876- I2C Support:	CONFIG_SYS_I2C
1877
1878		This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use
1879		i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set
1880		CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c
1881		based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See
1882		common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line
1883		interface.

2020		Hold the number of i2c buses you want to use.
2021
2022		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2023		define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2024		if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2025		omit this define.
2026
2027		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2028		define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2029		on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2030		define.
2031
2032		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2033		hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if
2034		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2035		a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2036		CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:
2037
2038		 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES	{{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2039					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \
2040					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \
2041					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \
2042					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \
2043					{0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \
2044					{1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \
2045					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \
2046					{1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \
2047					}
2048
2049		which defines
2050			bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux
2051			bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1
2052			bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2
2053			bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3
2054			bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4
2055			bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5
2056			bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux
2057			bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1
2058			bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2
2059
2060		If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define.
2061
2062- Legacy I2C Support:
2063		If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
2064		then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2065		from include/configs/lwmon.h):
2066
2067		I2C_INIT
2068
2069		(Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
2070		controller or configure ports.
2071
2072		eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=	PB_SCL)
2073
2074		I2C_ACTIVE
2075
2076		The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2077		(driven).  If the data line is open collector, this
2078		define can be null.
2079
2080		eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |=  PB_SDA)
2081
2082		I2C_TRISTATE
2083
2084		The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2085		(inactive).  If the data line is open collector, this
2086		define can be null.
2087
2088		eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2089
2090		I2C_READ
2091
2092		Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2093		false if it is low.
2094
2095		eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2096
2097		I2C_SDA(bit)
2098
2099		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2100		is false, it clears it (low).
2101
2102		eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
2103			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SDA; \
2104			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
2105
2106		I2C_SCL(bit)
2107
2108		If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2109		is false, it clears it (low).
2110
2111		eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
2112			if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |=  PB_SCL; \
2113			else	immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
2114
2115		I2C_DELAY
2116
2117		This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2118		controls the rate of data transfer.  The data rate thus
2119		is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
2120		like:
2121
2122		#define I2C_DELAY  udelay(2)
2123
2124		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2125
2126		If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2127		then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2128		used as SCL / SDA.  Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2129		have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2130
2131		You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2132		the generic GPIO functions.
2133
2134		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
2135
2136		When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2137		chips might think that the current transfer is still
2138		in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2139		the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2140		processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2141		connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2142		custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2143		is run early in the boot sequence.
2144
2145		CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2146
2147		This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
2148		must have a controller.	 At any point in time, only one bus is
2149		active.	 To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
2150		Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2151
2152		CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
2153
2154		This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
2155		when the 'i2c probe' command is issued.	 If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2156		is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs.  Otherwise, specify
2157		a 1D array of device addresses
2158
2159		e.g.
2160			#undef	CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2161			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
2162
2163		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2164
2165			#define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2166			#define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES	{{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
2167
2168		will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2169
2170		CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
2171
2172		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2173		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2174
2175		CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
2176
2177		If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2178		If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2179
2180		CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2181
2182		defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2183		the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2184		between writing the address pointer and reading the
2185		data.  If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2186		of doing a stop-start sequence will be used.  Most I2C
2187		devices can use either method, but some require one or
2188		the other.
2189
2190- SPI Support:	CONFIG_SPI
2191
2192		Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with
2193		SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and
2194		D/As on the SACSng board)
2195
2196		CONFIG_SH_SPI
2197
2198		Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently
2199		only SH7757 is supported.
2200
2201		CONFIG_SOFT_SPI
2202
2203		Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
2204		using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2205		driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2206		(two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2207		defined, the board configuration must define several
2208		SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2209		an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.
2210
2211		CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2212
2213		Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2214		and writes.  As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2215		must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
2216		Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors.	 For an
2217		example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h.
2218
2219		CONFIG_MXC_SPI
2220
2221		Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC
2222		SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported.
2223
2224		CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT
2225		Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed.
2226		default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100)     /* 10 ms */
2227
2228- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA
2229
2230		Enables FPGA subsystem.
2231
2232		CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor>
2233
2234		Enables support for specific chip vendors.
2235		(ALTERA, XILINX)
2236
2237		CONFIG_FPGA_<family>
2238
2239		Enables support for FPGA family.
2240		(SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX)
2241
2242		CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT
2243
2244		Specify the number of FPGA devices to support.
2245
2246		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK
2247
2248		Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration.
2249
2250		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY
2251
2252		Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy
2253		status by the configuration function. This option
2254		will require a board or device specific function to
2255		be written.
2256
2257		CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY
2258
2259		If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA
2260		configuration driver.
2261
2262		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC
2263		Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration
2264
2265		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR
2266
2267		Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile
2268		loading. For example, abort during Virtex II
2269		configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which
2270		indicated a CRC error).
2271
2272		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT
2273
2274		Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert
2275		after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II
2276		FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500
2277		ms.
2278
2279		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY
2280
2281		Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during
2282		Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms.
2283
2284		CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG
2285
2286		Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is
2287		200 ms.
2288
2289- Configuration Management:
2290		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET
2291
2292		Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2293		with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2294		CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2295		special image will be automatically built upon calling
2296		make / buildman.
2297
2298		CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2299
2300		If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2301		version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
2302
2303- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2304
2305		U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2306		variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
2307		"ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
2308		are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2309		protects these variables from casual modification by
2310		the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2311		and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
2312		change this behaviour:
2313
2314		If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2315		file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
2316		completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
2317		these parameters.
2318
2319		Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2320		default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
2321		Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
2322		which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2323		serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2324		read-only.]
2325
2326		The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2327		for any variable by configuring the type of access
2328		to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2329		or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2330
2331- Protected RAM:
2332		CONFIG_PRAM
2333
2334		Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2335		"protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2336		by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2337		kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2338		this default value by defining an environment
2339		variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2340		reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2341		still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2342		reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2343		automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2344		remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2345		argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2346
2347			setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
2348			saveenv
2349
2350		This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2351		either, which results in a memory region that will
2352		not be affected by reboots.
2353
2354		*WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2355		detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2356		this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2357		following board configurations are known to be
2358		"pRAM-clean":
2359
2360			IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx,
2361			HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON,
2362			FLAGADM
2363
2364- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2365		Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2366		normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2367		support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2368		machines using physical address extension or similar.
2369		Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2370		currently only supports clearing the memory.
2371
2372- Error Recovery:
2373		CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2374
2375		Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2376		fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2377		This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
2378		system where you want the system to reboot
2379		automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2380		useful during development since you can try to debug
2381		the conditions that lead to the situation.
2382
2383		CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2384
2385		This variable defines the number of retries for
2386		network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2387		before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2388		default value of 5 is used.
2389
2390		CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2391
2392		Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2393
2394		CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2395
2396		Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2397		If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2398		try longer timeout such as
2399		#define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2400
2401- Command Interpreter:
2402		CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
2403
2404		Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2405
2406		CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
2407
2408		This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2409		printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2410		to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2411
2412	Note:
2413
2414		In the current implementation, the local variables
2415		space and global environment variables space are
2416		separated. Local variables are those you define by
2417		simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2418		variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2419		`${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2420		directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
2421
2422		Global environment variables are those you use
2423		setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2424		in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2425		and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
2426
2427		To store commands and special characters in a
2428		variable, please use double quotation marks
2429		surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2430		of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2431		symbols.
2432
2433- Command Line Editing and History:
2434		CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2435
2436		Enable editing and History functions for interactive
2437		command line input operations
2438
2439- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2440		CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2441
2442		Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2443		at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2444		The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2445		and PS2.
2446
2447- Default Environment:
2448		CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2449
2450		Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2451		strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
2452		the default environment compiled into the boot image.
2453
2454		For example, place something like this in your
2455		board's config file:
2456
2457		#define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2458			"myvar1=value1\0" \
2459			"myvar2=value2\0"
2460
2461		Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2462		internal format how the environment is stored by the
2463		U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2464		interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
2465		will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
2466		You better know what you are doing here.
2467
2468		Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2469		discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
2470		the environment like the "source" command or the
2471		boot command first.
2472
2473		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2474
2475		Define this in order to add variables describing the
2476		U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2477		These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2478
2479		Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2480
2481		- CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2482		- CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2483		- CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2484		- CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2485		- CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2486
2487		CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2488
2489		Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2490		run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2491		environment.  These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2492
2493		CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2494
2495		Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2496		initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2497		that so that the environment is not available until
2498		explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2499		this is instead controlled by the value of
2500		/config/load-environment.
2501
2502- DataFlash Support:
2503		CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2504
2505		Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2506		allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2507		commands cp, md...
2508
2509- Serial Flash support
2510		CONFIG_CMD_SF
2511
2512		Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2513		'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2514
2515		Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2516		flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2517		commands.
2518
2519		The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2520		to handle the common case when only a single serial
2521		flash is present on the system.
2522
2523		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS		Bus identifier
2524		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS		Chip-select
2525		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE 		(see include/spi.h)
2526		CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED		in Hz
2527
2528		CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2529
2530		Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2531		test ('sf test').
2532
2533- SystemACE Support:
2534		CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2535
2536		Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2537		chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
2538		of the chip must also be defined in the
2539		CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
2540
2541		#define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2542		#define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
2543
2544		When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2545		becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2546
2547- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2548		CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2549
2550		If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
2551		is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
2552		If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
2553		number generator is used.
2554
2555		Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2556		the TFTP UDP destination port value.  If tftpdstp isn't
2557		defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2558
2559		The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
2560		blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2561		target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2562		"punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2563		the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2564		A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2565		but sometimes that is not allowed.
2566
2567- bootcount support:
2568		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2569
2570		This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2571		http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2572
2573		CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2574		enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
2575		CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2576		enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2577		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2578		enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2579		CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2580		enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2581			CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2582			CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2583						    the bootcounter.
2584			CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
2585
2586- Show boot progress:
2587		CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2588
2589		Defining this option allows to add some board-
2590		specific code (calling a user-provided function
2591		"show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2592		the system's boot progress on some display (for
2593		example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2594		the following checkpoints are implemented:
2595

2749
2750- legacy image format:
2751		CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY
2752		enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot.
2753
2754		Default:
2755		enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
2756
2757		CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
2758		disable the legacy image format
2759
2760		This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is
2761		enabled per default for backward compatibility.
2762
2763- Standalone program support:
2764		CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2765
2766		This option defines a board specific value for the
2767		address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
2768		overwriting the architecture dependent default
2769		settings.
2770
2771- Frame Buffer Address:
2772		CONFIG_FB_ADDR
2773
2774		Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific
2775		address for frame buffer.  This is typically the case
2776		when using a graphics controller has separate video
2777		memory.  U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
2778		the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
2779		in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
2780		the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
2781		configured panel size.
2782
2783		Please see board_init_f function.
2784
2785- Automatic software updates via TFTP server
2786		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP
2787		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX
2788		CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX
2789
2790		These options enable and control the auto-update feature;
2791		for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update.
2792
2793- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
2794		CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
2795
2796		Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
2797		Needed for mtdparts command support.
2798
2799		CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
2800
2801		Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
2802		kernel. Needed for UBI support.
2803
2804- UBI support
2805		CONFIG_CMD_UBI
2806
2807		Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
2808		with the UBI flash translation layer
2809
2810		Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
2811
2812		CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
2813
2814		Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing.  This leaves
2815		warnings and errors enabled.
2816
2817
2818		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
2819		This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
2820		erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
2821		of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
2822		wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
2823		counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
2824
2825		The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
2826		other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
2827		However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
2828		life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
2829		to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
2830
2831		default: 4096
2832
2833		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
2834		This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
2835		expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
2836		underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
2837		flash), this value is ignored.
2838
2839		NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
2840		(Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
2841		The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
2842		then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
2843		which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
2844		count of eraseblocks on the chip).
2845
2846		To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
2847		reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
2848		handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
2849		NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
2850		that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
2851		eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
2852		size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
2853		partition.
2854
2855		default: 20
2856
2857		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
2858		Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
2859		in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
2860		only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
2861		The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
2862		the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
2863		attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
2864		a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
2865		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
2866		that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
2867		without	fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
2868		fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
2869
2870		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
2871		Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
2872		without a fastmap.
2873		default: 0
2874
2875		CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
2876		Enable UBI fastmap debug
2877		default: 0
2878
2879- UBIFS support
2880		CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
2881
2882		Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
2883		UBIFS.  UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
2884
2885		Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
2886
2887		CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
2888
2889		Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing.  This leaves
2890		warnings and errors enabled.
2891
2892- SPL framework
2893		CONFIG_SPL
2894		Enable building of SPL globally.
2895
2896		CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT
2897		LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary.
2898
2899		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT
2900		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included.
2901		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory
2902		used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
2903		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
2904		must not be both defined at the same time.
2905
2906		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE
2907		Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and
2908		linker lists sections), BSS excluded.
2909		When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does
2910		not exceed it.
2911
2912		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE
2913		TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary.
2914
2915		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE
2916		Address to relocate to.  If unspecified, this is equal to
2917		CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done).
2918
2919		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR
2920		Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary.
2921
2922		CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
2923		Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS.
2924		When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used
2925		by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it.
2926		CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE
2927		must not be both defined at the same time.
2928
2929		CONFIG_SPL_STACK
2930		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use
2931
2932		CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
2933		When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
2934		loaded does not have a signature.
2935		Defining this is useful when code which loads images
2936		in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
2937		will be caught.
2938		An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
2939		consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
2940		and thus should be skipped silently.
2941
2942		CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK
2943		Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after
2944		relocation.  If unspecified, this is equal to
2945		CONFIG_SPL_STACK.
2946
2947		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START
2948		Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL.
2949		When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and
2950		it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc()
2951		can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined.
2952
2953		CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE
2954		The size of the malloc pool used in SPL.
2955
2956		CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK
2957		Enable the SPL framework under common/.  This framework
2958		supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND
2959		NAND loading of the Linux Kernel.
2960
2961		CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT
2962		Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL.
2963		See also: doc/README.falcon
2964
2965		CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT
2966		For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information
2967		about the running system.
2968
2969		CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL
2970		Arch init code should be built for a very small image
2971

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

3990		Only scan through and get the devices on the buses.
3991		Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or
3992		something has already done it, and we don't need to do it
3993		a second time.	Useful for platforms that are pre-booted
3994		by coreboot or similar.
3995
3996- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE:
3997		Enable support for indirect PCI bridges.
3998
3999- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO:
4000		Chip has SRIO or not

4017- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE:
4018		Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region
4019
4020- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT
4021		Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using
4022		a 16 bit bus.
4023		Not all NAND drivers use this symbol.
4024		Example of drivers that use it:
4025		- drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c
4026		- drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c
4027
4028- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG
4029		Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined
4030		a default value will be used.
4031
4032- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM
4033		Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common
4034		with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs
4035
4036  SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS
4037		I2C address of the SPD EEPROM
4038
4039- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
4040		If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4041		one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4042		to something your driver can deal with.
4043
4044- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4045		Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4046		soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4047		parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4048		header files or board specific files.
4049
4050- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4051		Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.

4058
4059- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
4060		Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4061		be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
4062
4063- CONFIG_RMII
4064		Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4065		Note that this is a global option, we can't
4066		have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4067
4068- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4069		Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4070		The syntax is:
4071
4072		=> crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4073
4074		Where address/count indicate a memory area
4075		and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4076		area should have.
4077
4078- CONFIG_LOOPW
4079		Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
4080		the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4081
4082- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4083		Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4084		"md/mw" commands.
4085		Examples:
4086
4087		=> mdc.b 10 4 500
4088		This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4089
4090		=> mwc.l 100 12345678 10
4091		This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4092
4093		This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
4094		globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
4095
4096- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
4097		[ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
4098		low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4099		controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4100		relocate itself into RAM.
4101
4102		Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4103		exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4104		other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4105		these initializations itself.
4106
4107- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4108		[ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
4109		to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
4110		instruction cache) is still performed.
4111
4112- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
4113		Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4114		that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4115		compiling a NAND SPL.
4116
4117- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4118		Modifies the behaviour of start.S  when compiling a loader
4119		that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4120		It is loaded by the SPL.
4121
4122- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4123		Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4124		.resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4125		previous 4k of the .text section.
4126
4127- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4128		Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4129		effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4130		U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4131		to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4132		it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4133		addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4134		to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4135
4136- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4137		If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4138		needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
4139
4140- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4141		Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4142
4143- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4144		Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4145		driver that uses this:
4146		drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c
4147
4148Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4149-----------------------------------
4150
4151The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4152loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4153This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4154are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4155within that device.
4156
4157- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4158	The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located.  The
4159	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4160	is also specified.
4161
4162- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4163	The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located.  The
4164	meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4165	is also specified.
4166
4167- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4168	The maximum possible size of the firmware.  The firmware binary format
4169	has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4170	might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4171	local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4172
4173- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4174	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4175	normal addressable memory via the LBC.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4176	virtual address in NOR flash.
4177
4178- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4179	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4180	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4181
4182- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4183	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4184	device.  CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4185
4186- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4187	Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4188	memory space.	CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
4189	can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4190	window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4191	master's memory space.
4192
4193Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4194---------------------------------------------------------
4195The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4196"firmware".
4197This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4198are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4199within that device.
4200
4201- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4202	Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4203
4204Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4205-------------------------------------------
4206The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4207"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4208This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4209
4210- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4211	Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires
4212
4213Reproducible builds
4214-------------------
4215
4216In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4217process have to be set to a fixed value.
4218
4219This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4220SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4221option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4222
4223SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4224
4225Building the Software:
4226======================
4227
4228Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4229and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4230all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4231(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4232recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4233which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
4234
4235If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4236have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4237you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4238Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4239necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
4240
4241	$ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4242	$ export CROSS_COMPILE
4243
4244Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4245      the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4246      (http://www.mingw.org).  Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4247      toolchain and execute 'make tools'.  For example:
4248
4249       $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4250
4251      Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4252      be executed on computers running Windows.
4253
4254U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4255sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
4256is done by typing:
4257
4258	make NAME_defconfig
4259
4260where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
4261rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
4262
4263Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4264      additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4265      instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4266      or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
4267      when choosing the configuration, i. e.
4268
4269      make TQM823L_defconfig
4270	- will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
4271
4272      make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
4273	- will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
4274
4275      etc.
4276
4277
4278Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4279images ready for download to / installation on your system:
4280
4281- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4282- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4283- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
4284
4285By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4286in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4287this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4288
42891. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4290
4291	make O=/tmp/build distclean
4292	make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
4293	make O=/tmp/build all
4294
42952. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
4296
4297	export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
4298	make distclean
4299	make NAME_defconfig
4300	make all
4301
4302Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
4303variable.
4304
4305
4306Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4307for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4308native "make".
4309
4310
4311If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4312to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4313steps:
4314
43151.  Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
4316    files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
4317    the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
43182.  Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4319    your board.
43203.  If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4321    directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
43224.  Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
43235.  Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4324    to be installed on your target system.
43256.  Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4326    [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]
4327
4328
4329Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
4330==============================================================
4331
4332If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4333or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
4334provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4335the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
4336official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
4337
4338But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4339cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
4340the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
4341just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4342configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4343will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4344for documentation.

4399Monitor Commands - Detailed Description:
4400========================================
4401
4402TODO.
4403
4404For now: just type "help <command>".
4405
4406
4407Environment Variables:
4408======================
4409
4410U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4411can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
4412
4413Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4414"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4415without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4416environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4417working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4418environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
4419
4420Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4421
4422List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
4423
4424  baudrate	- see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
4425
4426  bootdelay	- see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
4427
4428  bootcmd	- see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
4429
4430  bootargs	- Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
4431
4432  bootfile	- Name of the image to load with TFTP
4433
4434  bootm_low	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4435		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4436		  a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4437		  for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4438		  environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4439		  also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
4440		  kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4441		  bootm_mapsize.
4442
4443  bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
4444		  This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4445		  defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4446		  address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4447		  during early boot.  If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4448		  as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4449		  used otherwise.
4450
4451  bootm_size	- Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4452		  command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4453		  a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4454		  allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4455		  environment variable.
4456
4457  updatefile	- Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4458		  by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4459		  documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4460
4461  autoload	- if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4462		  "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4463		  configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4464		  load any image using TFTP
4465
4466  autostart	- if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4467		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4468		  be automatically started (by internally calling
4469		  "bootm")
4470
4471		  If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4472		  "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4473		  (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4474		  This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4475		  data.
4476
4477  fdt_high	- if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4478		  flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
4479		  For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4480		  at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4481		  only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4482		  may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4483		  device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4484		  of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4485		  access it during the boot procedure.
4486
4487		  If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4488		  the fdt will not be copied at all on boot.  For this
4489		  to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4490		  sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4491		  add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4492		  must be accessible by the kernel.
4493
4494  fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4495		  device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4496		  defined.
4497
4498  i2cfast	- (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4499		  if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4500		  mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4501		  initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4502		  it must be saved and board must be reset.
4503
4504  initrd_high	- restrict positioning of initrd images:
4505		  If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4506		  copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4507		  is usually what you want since it allows for
4508		  maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4509		  make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
4510		  CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
4511		  variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4512		  Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4513		  address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4514		  does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
4515
4516		  For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4517		  RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4518		  you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4519		  the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4520		  sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4521		  12 MB as well - this can be done with
4522
4523		  setenv initrd_high 00c00000
4524
4525		  If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4526		  indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4527		  for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4528		  memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4529		  ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4530		  boot time on your system, but requires that this
4531		  feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
4532
4533  ipaddr	- IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4534
4535  loadaddr	- Default load address for commands like "bootp",
4536		  "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
4537
4538  loads_echo	- see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
4539
4540  serverip	- TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command
4541
4542  bootretry	- see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
4543
4544  bootdelaykey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
4545
4546  bootstopkey	- see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
4547
4548  ethprime	- controls which interface is used first.
4549
4550  ethact	- controls which interface is currently active.
4551		  For example you can do the following
4552
4553		  => setenv ethact FEC
4554		  => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4555		  => setenv ethact SCC
4556		  => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
4557
4558  ethrotate	- When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4559		  available network interfaces.
4560		  It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4561
4562  netretry	- When set to "no" each network operation will
4563		  either succeed or fail without retrying.
4564		  When set to "once" the network operation will
4565		  fail when all the available network interfaces
4566		  are tried once without success.
4567		  Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4568		  themselves.
4569
4570  npe_ucode	- set load address for the NPE microcode
4571
4572  silent_linux  - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
4573		  changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4574		  made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4575		  unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4576		  is silent.
4577
4578  tftpsrcp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
4579		  UDP source port.
4580
4581  tftpdstp	- If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
4582		  destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4583
4584  tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4585		  we use the TFTP server's default block size
4586
4587  tftptimeout	- Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4588		  seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4589		  when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4590		  be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4591		  Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4592		  faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4593		  with unreliable TFTP servers.
4594
4595  tftptimeoutcountmax	- maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
4596		  unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
4597		  can happen during a single file transfer before that
4598		  transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
4599		  'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
4600		  downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
4601		  unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
4602
4603  vlan		- When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
4604		  Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
4605		  VLAN tagged frames.
4606
4607  bootpretryperiod	- Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
4608		  Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
4609		  be either the default (28000), or a value based on
4610		  CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
4611		  precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
4612
4613The following image location variables contain the location of images
4614used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4615not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4616variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4617server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4618loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4619flash or offset in NAND flash.
4620
4621*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
4622boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
4623boards use these variables for other purposes.
4624
4625Image		    File Name	     RAM Address       Flash Location
4626-----		    ---------	     -----------       --------------
4627u-boot		    u-boot	     u-boot_addr_r     u-boot_addr
4628Linux kernel	    bootfile	     kernel_addr_r     kernel_addr
4629device tree blob    fdtfile	     fdt_addr_r	       fdt_addr
4630ramdisk		    ramdiskfile	     ramdisk_addr_r    ramdisk_addr
4631
4632The following environment variables may be used and automatically
4633updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
4634depending the information provided by your boot server:
4635
4636  bootfile	- see above
4637  dnsip		- IP address of your Domain Name Server
4638  dnsip2	- IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
4639  gatewayip	- IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
4640  hostname	- Target hostname
4641  ipaddr	- see above
4642  netmask	- Subnet Mask
4643  rootpath	- Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
4644  serverip	- see above
4645
4646
4647There are two special Environment Variables:
4648
4649  serial#	- contains hardware identification information such
4650		  as type string and/or serial number
4651  ethaddr	- Ethernet address
4652
4653These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
4654the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
4655once they have been set once.
4656
4657
4658Further special Environment Variables:
4659
4660  ver		- Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
4661		  with the "version" command. This variable is
4662		  readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
4663
4664
4665Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
4666only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).
4667
4668
4669Callback functions for environment variables:
4670---------------------------------------------
4671
4672For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
4673when their values are changed.  This functionality allows functions to
4674be associated with arbitrary variables.  On creation, overwrite, or
4675deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
4676effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
4677
4678The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
4679U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
4680
4681These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways.  The
4682static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
4683in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
4684associations.  The list must be in the following format:
4685
4686	entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
4687	list = entry[,list]
4688
4689If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
4690Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
4691
4692Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
4693with the same list format above.  Any association in ".callbacks" will
4694override any association in the static list. You can define
4695CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
4696".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
4697
4698If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
4699regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
4700the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.
4701
4702
4703Command Line Parsing:
4704=====================
4705
4706There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
4707the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
4708
4709Old, simple command line parser:
4710--------------------------------
4711
4712- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
4713- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
4714- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
4715- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
4716  for example:
4717	setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
4718- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
4719	setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
4720
4721Hush shell:
4722-----------
4723
4724- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
4725  if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
4726  until...do...done, ...
4727- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
4728  commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
4729  "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
4730  command
4731
4732General rules:
4733--------------
4734
4735(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
4736    command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
4737    one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
4738    executed anyway.
4739
4740(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
4741    calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
4742    command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
4743    variables are not executed.
4744
4745Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
4746=======================================
4747
4748Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
4749such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
4750"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
4751
4752Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
4753MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
4754"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
4755
4756If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
4757in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
4758ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
4759variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
4760
4761o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
4762  environment, the SROM's address is used.
4763
4764o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
4765  environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
4766  used.
4767
4768o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
4769  both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
4770
4771o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
4772  addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
4773  warning is printed.
4774
4775o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
4776  is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
4777  a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
4778
4779If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
4780will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process.	 This
4781may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
4782The naming convention is as follows:
4783"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
4784
4785Image Formats:
4786==============
4787
4788U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
4789images in two formats:
4790
4791New uImage format (FIT)
4792-----------------------
4793
4794Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
4795to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
4796components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
4797SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
4798
4799
4800Old uImage format
4801-----------------
4802
4803Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
4804preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
4805details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
4806
4807* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,
4808  4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks,
4809  LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY;
4810  Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS,
4811  INTEGRITY).
4812* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86,
4813  IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit;
4814  Currently supported: ARM, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC).
4815* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2)
4816* Load Address
4817* Entry Point
4818* Image Name
4819* Image Timestamp
4820
4821The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
4822and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
4823CRC32 checksums.
4824
4825
4826Linux Support:
4827==============
4828
4829Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
4830easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
4831U-Boot.
4832
4833U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
4834special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
4835"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
4836instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
4837serves several purposes:
4838
4839- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
4840  applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
4841  Flash memory footprint)
4842
4843- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
4844  lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
4845
4846- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
4847  images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
4848  be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
4849  have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
4850  change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
4851  software is easier now.
4852
4853
4854Linux HOWTO:
4855============
4856
4857Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
4858---------------------------------------
4859
4860U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
4861configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
4862(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
4863Linux :-).
4864
4865But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
4866
4867Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
4868include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
4869Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
4870and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
4871as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
4872
4873Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
4874If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
4875is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
4876doc/driver-model.
4877
4878
4879Configuring the Linux kernel:
4880-----------------------------
4881
4882No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
4883device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
4884
4885
4886Building a Linux Image:
4887-----------------------
4888
4889With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
4890not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
4891"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
4892U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
4893which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
4894100% compatible format.
4895
4896Example:
4897
4898	make TQM850L_defconfig
4899	make oldconfig
4900	make dep
4901	make uImage
4902
4903The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
4904encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header	 information,
4905CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
4906
4907* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
4908
4909* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
4910
4911	${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
4912				 -R .note -R .comment \
4913				 -S vmlinux linux.bin
4914
4915* compress the binary image:
4916
4917	gzip -9 linux.bin
4918
4919* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
4920
4921	mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
4922		-a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
4923		-d linux.bin.gz uImage
4924
4925
4926The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
4927with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
4928combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
4929byte header containing information about target architecture,
4930operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
4931stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
4932
4933"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
4934print the header information, or to build new images.
4935
4936In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
4937contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
4938checksum verification:
4939
4940	tools/mkimage -l image
4941	  -l ==> list image header information
4942
4943The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
4944from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
4945
4946	tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
4947		      -n name -d data_file image
4948	  -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
4949	  -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
4950	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
4951	  -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
4952	  -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
4953	  -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
4954	  -n ==> set image name to 'name'
4955	  -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
4956
4957Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
4958address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
4959kernel version:
4960
4961- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
4962- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
4963
4964So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
4965
4966	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4967	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \
4968	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \
4969	> examples/uImage.TQM850L
4970	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4971	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4972	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4973	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4974	Load Address: 0x00000000
4975	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4976
4977To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption):
4978
4979	-> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L
4980	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4981	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4982	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed)
4983	Data Size:    335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB
4984	Load Address: 0x00000000
4985	Entry Point:  0x00000000
4986
4987NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade
4988speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
4989needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
4990need to be uncompressed:
4991
4992	-> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz
4993	-> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \
4994	> -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \
4995	> -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \
4996	> examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed
4997	Image Name:   2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L
4998	Created:      Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000
4999	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
5000	Data Size:    792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB
5001	Load Address: 0x00000000
5002	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5003
5004
5005Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file
5006when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk:
5007
5008	-> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \
5009	> -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \
5010	> -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd
5011	Image Name:   Simple Ramdisk Image
5012	Created:      Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000
5013	Image Type:   PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed)
5014	Data Size:    566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB
5015	Load Address: 0x00000000
5016	Entry Point:  0x00000000
5017
5018The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5019option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5020option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5021from the image:
5022
5023	tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5024	  -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5025	  -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5026	  -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'
5027
5028
5029Installing a Linux Image:
5030-------------------------
5031
5032To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5033you must convert the image to S-Record format:
5034
5035	objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
5036
5037The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5038image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5039address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5040specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5041command.
5042
5043Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the
5044TQM8xxL is in the first Flash bank):
5045
5046	=> erase 40100000 401FFFFF
5047
5048	.......... done
5049	Erased 8 sectors
5050
5051	=> loads 40100000
5052	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5053	~>examples/image.srec
5054	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 ...
5055	...
5056	15989 15990 15991 15992
5057	[file transfer complete]
5058	[connected]
5059	## Start Addr = 0x00000000
5060
5061
5062You can check the success of the download using the 'iminfo' command;
5063this includes a checksum verification so you can be sure no data
5064corruption happened:
5065
5066	=> imi 40100000
5067
5068	## Checking Image at 40100000 ...
5069	   Image Name:	 2.2.13 for initrd on TQM850L

5073	   Entry Point:	 0000000c
5074	   Verifying Checksum ... OK
5075
5076
5077Boot Linux:
5078-----------
5079
5080The "bootm" command is used to boot an application that is stored in
5081memory (RAM or Flash). In case of a Linux kernel image, the contents
5082of the "bootargs" environment variable is passed to the kernel as
5083parameters. You can check and modify this variable using the
5084"printenv" and "setenv" commands:
5085
5086
5087	=> printenv bootargs
5088	bootargs=root=/dev/ram
5089
5090	=> setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/LinuxPPC nfsaddrs=10.0.0.99:10.0.0.2
5091
5092	=> printenv bootargs

5160Boot Linux and pass a flat device tree:
5161-----------
5162
5163First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
5164titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
5165following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
5166flat device tree:

5209More About U-Boot Image Types:
5210------------------------------
5211
5212U-Boot supports the following image types:
5213
5214   "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5215	provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5216	well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5217	the Standalone Program.
5218   "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5219	will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5220	will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5221	drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5222	expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5223   "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5224	parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5225	being started.
5226   "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5227	(Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5228	RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5229	to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5230	server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5231	for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
5232
5233	"Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5234	image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5235	byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5236	Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5237	one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5238	a multiple of 4 bytes).
5239
5240   "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5241	U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5242	flash memory.
5243
5244   "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5245	U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5246	useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5247	as command interpreter.
5248
5249Booting the Linux zImage:
5250-------------------------
5251
5252On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5253using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5254as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5255
5256Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
5257kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5258address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5259format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".
5260
5261
5262Standalone HOWTO:
5263=================
5264
5265One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5266run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5267U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
5268
5269Two simple examples are included with the sources:
5270
5271"Hello World" Demo:
5272-------------------
5273
5274'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5275application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5276It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5277like that:
5278
5279	=> loads
5280	## Ready for S-Record download ...
5281	~>examples/hello_world.srec
5282	1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
5283	[file transfer complete]
5284	[connected]
5285	## Start Addr = 0x00040004
5286
5287	=> go 40004 Hello World! This is a test.
5288	## Starting application at 0x00040004 ...
5289	Hello World
5290	argc = 7
5291	argv[0] = "40004"
5292	argv[1] = "Hello"
5293	argv[2] = "World!"
5294	argv[3] = "This"
5295	argv[4] = "is"
5296	argv[5] = "a"
5297	argv[6] = "test."
5298	argv[7] = "<NULL>"
5299	Hit any key to exit ...
5300
5301	## Application terminated, rc = 0x0
5302
5303Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5304handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5305Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5306The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5307character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5308controlled by the following keys:
5309
5310	? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
5311	b - enable interrupts and start timer
5312	e - stop timer and disable interrupts
5313	q - quit application
5314
5315	=> loads

5350Minicom warning:
5351================
5352
5353Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the
5354"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd)
5355consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under
5356Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and
5357especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and
5358use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).  See
5359http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3.
5360for help with kermit.
5361
5362
5363Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this
5364configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section:
5365

5371NetBSD Notes:
5372=============
5373
5374Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5375(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
5376
5377Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5378NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5379need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5380Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5381attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5382missing.  This file has to be installed and patched manually:
5383
5384	# cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5385	# mkdir powerpc
5386	# ln -s powerpc machine
5387	# cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5388	# ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h	## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
5389
5390Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5391and U-Boot include files.
5392
5393Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5394stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5395proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5396tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the
5397meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz

5400Implementation Internals:
5401=========================
5402
5403The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5404implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5405inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5406hardware.
5407
5408
5409Initial Stack, Global Data:
5410---------------------------
5411
5412The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5413starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5414system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5415This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5416is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5417at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5418options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5419models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5420MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5421locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
5422
5423	Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the
5424	U-Boot mailing list:
5425
5426	Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)?
5427	From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com>
5428	Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET)
5429	...
5430
5431	Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5432	is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5433	require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5434	is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5435	necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
5436	beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
5437	can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5438	operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
5439
5440	OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5441	is another option for the system designer to use as an
5442	initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
5443	option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5444	board designers haven't used it for something that would
5445	cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5446	used.
5447
5448	CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
5449	with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5450	you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
5451	walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
5452	than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5453	it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5454	that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5455	start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5456	you get the config right.

5460
5461It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5462code for the initialization procedures:
5463
5464* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5465  to write it.
5466
5467* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
5468  as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5469  zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
5470
5471* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5472  that.
5473
5474Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
5475normal global data to share information between the code. But it
5476turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5477simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5478functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5479functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5480the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5481place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5482reserve for this purpose.
5483
5484When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5485relevant  (E)ABI  specifications for the current architecture, and by
5486GCC's implementation.
5487
5488For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5489	R1:	stack pointer
5490	R2:	reserved for system use
5491	R3-R4:	parameter passing and return values
5492	R5-R10: parameter passing
5493	R13:	small data area pointer
5494	R30:	GOT pointer
5495	R31:	frame pointer
5496
5497	(U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5498	is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5499	going back and forth between asm and C)
5500
5501    ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
5502
5503    Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5504    address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5505    but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5506    smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5507    average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5508    624 text + 127 data).
5509
5510On ARM, the following registers are used:
5511
5512	R0:	function argument word/integer result
5513	R1-R3:	function argument word
5514	R9:	platform specific
5515	R10:	stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
5516	R11:	argument (frame) pointer
5517	R12:	temporary workspace
5518	R13:	stack pointer
5519	R14:	link register
5520	R15:	program counter
5521
5522    ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5523
5524    Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
5525
5526On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5527	http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5528
5529    ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5530
5531    Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5532    to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5533
5534On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5535
5536	R0-R1:	argument/return
5537	R2-R5:	argument
5538	R15:	temporary register for assembler
5539	R16:	trampoline register
5540	R28:	frame pointer (FP)
5541	R29:	global pointer (GP)
5542	R30:	link register (LP)
5543	R31:	stack pointer (SP)
5544	PC:	program counter (PC)
5545
5546    ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5547
5548NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5549or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.
5550
5551Memory Management:
5552------------------
5553
5554U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5555MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
5556
5557The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5558controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5559memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5560physical memory banks.
5561
5562U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5563TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5564booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5565to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
5566memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
5567configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5568Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
5569
5570Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5571of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
5572
5573So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5574this:
5575
5576	0x0000 0000	Exception Vector code
5577	      :
5578	0x0000 1FFF
5579	0x0000 2000	Free for Application Use
5580	      :
5581	      :
5582
5583	      :
5584	      :
5585	0x00FB FF20	Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5586	0x00FB FFAC	Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
5587	0x00FC 0000	Malloc Arena
5588	      :
5589	0x00FD FFFF
5590	0x00FE 0000	RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5591	...		eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5592	...		eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5593	0x00FF FFFF	[End of RAM]
5594
5595
5596System Initialization:
5597----------------------
5598
5599In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
5600(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
5601configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
5602To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5603To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5604initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5605which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data
5606cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and
5607the SIU.
5608
5609Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5610preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5611(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5612on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5613programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5614simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5615banks.
5616
5617When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5618different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5619bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
56200x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5621contiguous memory starting from 0.
5622
5623Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5624and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
5625Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
5626pages, and the final stack is set up.
5627
5628Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
5629until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
5630running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
5631new address in RAM.

5708Coding Standards:
5709-----------------
5710
5711All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
5712coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
5713"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
5714
5715Source files originating from a different project (for example the
5716MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
5717reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
5718sources.
5719
5720Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
5721Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
5722in your code.
5723
5724Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
5725- remove any trailing white space
5726- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
5727- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
5728- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
5729- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
5730
5731Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
5732with a request to reformat the changes.
5733
5734
5735Submitting Patches:
5736-------------------
5737
5738Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
5739establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
5740may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
5741
5742Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
5743
5744Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
5745see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
5746
5747When you send a patch, please include the following information with
5748it:
5749
5750* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
5751  this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
5752  patch actually fixes something.
5753
5754* For new features: a description of the feature and your
5755  implementation.
5756
5757* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
5758
5759* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
5760  information and associated file and directory references.
5761
5762* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
5763  maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
5764
5765* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
5766  document these in the README file.
5767
5768* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
5769  recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
5770  "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
5771  the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
5772  with some other mail clients.
5773
5774  If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
5775  diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
5776  GNU diff.
5777
5778  The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
5779  directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
5780  your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
5781  affected files).
5782
5783  We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
5784  and compressed attachments must not be used.
5785
5786* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
5787  files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
5788
5789* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
5790  submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
5791
5792
5793Notes:
5794
5795* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
5796  source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
5797  for any of the boards.
5798
5799* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
5800  containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
5801  returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
5802
5803* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
5804  add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
5805  When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
5806  (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
5807  disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
5808  modification.
5809
5810* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
5811  u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
5812  reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
5813  bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
5814
