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 47 48 49Where to get help: 50================== 51 52In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 53U-Boot, you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 54<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

Regular releases are identified by 123names consisting of the calendar year and month of the release date. 124Additional fields (if present) indicate release candidates or bug fix 125releases in "stable" maintenance trees. 126 127Examples: 128 U-Boot v2009.11 - Release November 2009 129 U-Boot v2009.11.1 - Release 1 in version November 2009 stable tree 130 U-Boot v2010.09-rc1 - Release candidate 1 for September 2010 release 131 132 133Directory Hierarchy: 134==================== 135 136/arch Architecture specific files 137 /arc Files generic to ARC architecture 138 /arm Files generic to ARM architecture 139 /m68k Files generic to m68k architecture 140 /microblaze Files generic to microblaze architecture 141 /mips Files generic to MIPS architecture 142 /nds32 Files generic to NDS32 architecture 143 /nios2 Files generic to Altera NIOS2 architecture 144 /openrisc Files generic to OpenRISC architecture 145 /powerpc Files generic to PowerPC architecture 146 /riscv Files generic to RISC-V architecture 147 /sandbox Files generic to HW-independent "sandbox" 148 /sh Files generic to SH architecture 149 /x86 Files generic to x86 architecture 150/api Machine/arch independent API for external apps 151/board Board dependent files 152/cmd U-Boot commands functions 153/common Misc architecture independent functions 154/configs Board default configuration files 155/disk Code for disk drive partition handling 156/doc Documentation (don't expect too much) 157/drivers Commonly used device drivers 158/dts Contains Makefile for building internal U-Boot fdt. 159/examples Example code for standalone applications, etc. 160/fs Filesystem code (cramfs, ext2, jffs2, etc.) 161/include Header Files 162/lib Library routines generic to all architectures 163/Licenses Various license files 164/net Networking code 165/post Power On Self Test 166/scripts Various build scripts and Makefiles 167/test Various unit test files 168/tools Tools to build S-Record or U-Boot images, etc. 169 170Software Configuration: 171======================= 172 173Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the 174rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 175 176There are two classes of configuration variables: 177 178* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 179 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 180 "CONFIG_". 181 182* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 183 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 184 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 185 "CONFIG_SYS_". 186 187Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating 188symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently, 189U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel, 190allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your 191build. 192 193 194Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 195--------------------------------------------------- 196 197For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 198configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig". 199 200Example: For a TQM823L module type: 201 202 cd u-boot 203 make TQM823L_defconfig 204 205Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board 206you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file 207doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards. 208 209Sandbox Environment: 210-------------------- 211 212U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox' 213board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture- 214specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to 215run some of U-Boot's tests. 216 217See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details. 218 219 220Board Initialisation Flow: 221-------------------------- 222 223This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both 224SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). 225 226Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in 227more detail later in this file. 228 229At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names 230and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures 231may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use 232CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this. 233 234Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly 235CPU-specific) start.S file, such as: 236 237 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S 238 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S 239 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S 240 241and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and 242limitations of each of these functions are described below. 243 244lowlevel_init(): 245 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f() 246 - no global_data or BSS 247 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed) 248 - must not set up SDRAM or use console 249 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to 250 board_init_f() 251 - this is almost never needed 252 - return normally from this function 253 254board_init_f(): 255 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r(): 256 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART 257 - global_data is available 258 - stack is in SRAM 259 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables, 260 only stack variables and global_data 261 262 Non-SPL-specific notes: 263 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this 264 can do nothing 265 266 SPL-specific notes: 267 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own 268 version as needed. 269 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis 270 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work 271 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S 272 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r() 273 directly) 274 275Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at 276this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below 277CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of 278memory. 279 280board_init_r(): 281 - purpose: main execution, common code 282 - global_data is available 283 - SDRAM is available 284 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used 285 - execution eventually continues to main_loop() 286 287 Non-SPL-specific notes: 288 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from 289 there. 290 291 SPL-specific notes: 292 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and 293 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM 294 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is 295 done by selecting CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a 296 spl_board_init() function containing this call 297 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux 298 299 300 301Configuration Options: 302---------------------- 303 304Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 305such information is kept in a configuration file 306"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 307 308Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 309"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 310 311 312Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 313kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 314build a config tool - later. 315 316- ARM Platform Bus Type(CCI): 317 CoreLink Cache Coherent Interconnect (CCI) is ARM BUS which 318 provides full cache coherency between two clusters of multi-core 319 CPUs and I/O coherency for devices and I/O masters 320 321 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCI400 322 323 Defined For SoC that has cache coherent interconnect 324 CCN-400 325 326 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_CCN504 327 328 Defined for SoC that has cache coherent interconnect CCN-504 329 330The following options need to be configured: 331 332- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 333 334- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 335 336- Marvell Family Member 337 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 338 multiple fs option at one time 339 for marvell soc family 340 341- 85xx CPU Options: 342 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 343 344 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 345 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 346 compliance, among other possible reasons. 347 348 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 349 350 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 351 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 352 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 353 354 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 355 356 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 357 tree nodes for the given platform. 358 359 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 360 361 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 362 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 363 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 364 365 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 366 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 367 368 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 369 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 370 371 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 372 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 373 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 374 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 375 376 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 377 this erratum. 378 379 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 380 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 381 required during NOR boot. 382 383 CONFIG_A008044_WORKAROUND 384 Enables a workaround for T1040/T1042 erratum A008044. It is only 385 required during NAND boot and valid for Rev 1.0 SoC revision 386 387 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 388 389 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 390 according to the A004510 workaround. 391 392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR 393 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is 394 connected exclusively to the DSP cores. 395 396 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 397 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 398 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 399 400 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR 401 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly 402 connected to the DSP core. 403 404 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 405 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 406 407 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK 408 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's. 409 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply 410 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock. 411 412 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F 413 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the 414 time of U-Boot entry and is required to be re-initialized. 415 416 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP 417 Indicates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is 418 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up. 419 420- Generic CPU options: 421 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 422 423 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 424 values is arch specific. 425 426 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR 427 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is 428 found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core 429 SoCs. 430 431 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_ADDR 432 Freescale DDR memory-mapped register base. 433 434 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 435 Specify emulator support for DDR.

It can be enabled for SoCs with 455 Freescale DDR1 or DDR2 controllers, depending on the board 456 implemetation. 457 458 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2 459 Board config to use DDR2. It can be enabled for SoCs with 460 Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board 461 implementation. 462 463 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3 464 Board config to use DDR3. It can be enabled for SoCs with 465 Freescale DDR3 or DDR3L controllers. 466 467 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3L 468 Board config to use DDR3L. It can be enabled for SoCs with 469 DDR3L controllers. 470 471 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR4 472 Board config to use DDR4.

It is the 508 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But 509 it could be different for ARM SoCs. 510 511 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B 512 DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special 513 interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape 514 SoCs with ARM core. 515 516 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_MAIN_NUM_CTRLS 517 Number of controllers used as main memory. 518 519 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_OTHER_DDR_NUM_CTRLS 520 Number of controllers used for other than main memory. 521 522 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_HAS_DP_DDR 523 Defines the SoC has DP-DDR used for DPAA. 524 525 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_BE 526 Defines the SEC controller register space as Big Endian 527 528 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SEC_LE 529 Defines the SEC controller register space as Little Endian 530 531- MIPS CPU options: 532 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 533 534 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 535 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 536 relocation. 537 538 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 539 540 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 541 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 542 Possible values are: 543 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 544 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 545 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 546 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 547 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 548 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 549 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 550 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 551 552 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 553 554 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 555 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 556 557 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 558 559 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 560 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 561 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 562 563- ARM options: 564 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 565 566 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 567 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 568 569 COUNTER_FREQUENCY 570 Generic timer clock source frequency. 571 572 COUNTER_FREQUENCY_REAL 573 Generic timer clock source frequency if the real clock is 574 different from COUNTER_FREQUENCY, and can only be determined 575 at run time. 576 577- Tegra SoC options: 578 CONFIG_TEGRA_SUPPORT_NON_SECURE 579 580 Support executing U-Boot in non-secure (NS) mode. Certain 581 impossible actions will be skipped if the CPU is in NS mode, 582 such as ARM architectural timer initialization. 583 584- Linux Kernel Interface: 585 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 586 587 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 588 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 589 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 590 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 591 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 592 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 593 Linux kernel. 594 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 595 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 596 default environment. 597 598 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 599 600 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions 601 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 602 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 603 604 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 605 606 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 607 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 608 concepts). 609 610 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 611 * New libfdt-based support 612 * Adds the "fdt" command 613 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 614 615 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 616 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 617 618 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 619 addresses 620 621 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 622 623 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 624 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 625 626 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP 627 628 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make 629 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel. 630 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting 631 the kernel. 632 633 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 634 635 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 636 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 637 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 638 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 639 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 640 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 641 642 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 643 644 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 645 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 646 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 647 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 648 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 649 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 650 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 651 652- vxWorks boot parameters: 653 654 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 655 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask, 656 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs. 657 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 658 659 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 660 the defaults discussed just above. 661 662- Cache Configuration: 663 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 664 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 665 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 666 667- Cache Configuration for ARM: 668 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 669 controller 670 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 671 controller register space 672 673- Serial Ports: 674 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 675 676 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 677 678 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 679 680 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 681 682 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 683 684 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 685 the clock speed of the UARTs. 686 687 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 688 689 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 690 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 691 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 692 693 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL 694 695 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver. 696 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver 697 698- Console Baudrate: 699 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 700 Select one of the baudrates listed in 701 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 702 703- Autoboot Command: 704 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 705 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 706 define a command string that is automatically executed 707 when no character is read on the console interface 708 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 709 710 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 711 The value of these goes into the environment as 712 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 713 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 714 RAM and NFS. 715 716- Pre-Boot Commands: 717 CONFIG_PREBOOT 718 719 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 720 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 721 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 722 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 723 entering interactive mode. 724 725 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 726 automatically generated or modified. For an example 727 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 728 modified when the user holds down a certain 729 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 730 booting the systems 731 732- Serial Download Echo Mode: 733 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 734 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 735 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 736 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 737 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 738 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 739 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 740 741- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 742 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 743 Select one of the baudrates listed in 744 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 745 746- Removal of commands 747 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable 748 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line 749 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the 750 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command() 751 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very 752 simple boot procedures. 753 754- Regular expression support: 755 CONFIG_REGEX 756 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 757 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 758 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 759 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 760 761- Device tree: 762 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 763 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 764 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 765 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 766 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 767 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 768 769 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 770 be done using one of the three options below: 771 772 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 773 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 774 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 775 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 776 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 777 the global data structure as gd->fdt_blob. 778 779 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 780 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 781 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 782 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 783 784 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 785 786 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 787 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 788 still use the individual files if you need something more 789 exotic. 790 791 CONFIG_OF_BOARD 792 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use the device tree 793 provided by the board at runtime instead of embedding one with 794 the image. Only boards defining board_fdt_blob_setup() support 795 this option (see include/fdtdec.h file). 796 797- Watchdog: 798 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 799 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 800 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 801 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx 802 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 803 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 804 available, then no further board specific code should 805 be needed to use it. 806 807 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 808 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 809 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 810 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 811 812 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT 813 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds. 814 815- U-Boot Version: 816 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 817 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 818 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 819 version as printed by the "version" command. 820 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 821 next reset. 822 823- Real-Time Clock: 824 825 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 826 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 827 following options: 828 829 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 830 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 831 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 832 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 833 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 834 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 835 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC 836 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 837 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 838 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 839 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 840 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 841 RV3029 RTC. 842 843 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 844 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 845 846- GPIO Support: 847 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 848 849 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 850 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 851 pins supported by a particular chip. 852 853 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 854 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 855 856- I/O tracing: 857 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O 858 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out 859 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is 860 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that 861 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code 862 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To 863 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>' 864 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test. 865 866 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below. 867 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will 868 still continue to operate. 869 870 iotrace is enabled 871 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address) 872 Size: 00010000 (buffer size) 873 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset) 874 Output: 10000120 (start + offset) 875 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records) 876 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records) 877 878- Timestamp Support: 879 880 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 881 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 882 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 883 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 884 885- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 886 Zero or more of the following: 887 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 888 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 889 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 890 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see 891 disk/part_efi.c 892 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table. 893 894 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_IDE or 895 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at 896 least one non-MTD partition type as well. 897 898- IDE Reset method: 899 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several 900 board configurations files but used nowhere! 901 902 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will 903 be performed by calling the function 904 ide_set_reset(int reset) 905 which has to be defined in a board specific file 906 907- ATAPI Support: 908 CONFIG_ATAPI 909 910 Set this to enable ATAPI support. 911 912- LBA48 Support 913 CONFIG_LBA48 914 915 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB 916 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA. 917 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only' 918 support disks up to 2.1TB. 919 920 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA: 921 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses. 922 Default is 32bit. 923 924- SCSI Support: 925 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and 926 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID * 927 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the 928 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target 929 devices. 930 931 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of 932 SCSI devices found during the last scan. 933 934- NETWORK Support (PCI): 935 CONFIG_E1000 936 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips. 937 938 CONFIG_E1000_SPI 939 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x. 940 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one 941 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC. 942 943 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC 944 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for 945 example with the "sspi" command. 946 947 CONFIG_EEPRO100 948 Support for Intel 82557/82559/82559ER chips. 949 Optional CONFIG_EEPRO100_SROM_WRITE enables EEPROM 950 write routine for first time initialisation. 951 952 CONFIG_TULIP 953 Support for Digital 2114x chips. 954 Optional CONFIG_TULIP_SELECT_MEDIA for board specific 955 modem chip initialisation (KS8761/QS6611). 956 957 CONFIG_NATSEMI 958 Support for National dp83815 chips. 959 960 CONFIG_NS8382X 961 Support for National dp8382[01] gigabit chips. 962 963- NETWORK Support (other): 964 965 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC 966 Support for AT91RM9200 EMAC. 967 968 CONFIG_RMII 969 Define this to use reduced MII inteface 970 971 CONFIG_DRIVER_AT91EMAC_QUIET 972 If this defined, the driver is quiet. 973 The driver doen't show link status messages. 974 975 CONFIG_CALXEDA_XGMAC 976 Support for the Calxeda XGMAC device 977 978 CONFIG_LAN91C96 979 Support for SMSC's LAN91C96 chips. 980 981 CONFIG_LAN91C96_USE_32_BIT 982 Define this to enable 32 bit addressing 983 984 CONFIG_SMC91111 985 Support for SMSC's LAN91C111 chip 986 987 CONFIG_SMC91111_BASE 988 Define this to hold the physical address 989 of the device (I/O space) 990 991 CONFIG_SMC_USE_32_BIT 992 Define this if data bus is 32 bits 993 994 CONFIG_SMC_USE_IOFUNCS 995 Define this to use i/o functions instead of macros 996 (some hardware wont work with macros) 997 998 CONFIG_DRIVER_TI_EMAC 999 Support for davinci emac 1000 1001 CONFIG_SYS_DAVINCI_EMAC_PHY_COUNT 1002 Define this if you have more then 3 PHYs. 1003 1004 CONFIG_FTGMAC100 1005 Support for Faraday's FTGMAC100 Gigabit SoC Ethernet 1006 1007 CONFIG_FTGMAC100_EGIGA 1008 Define this to use GE link update with gigabit PHY. 1009 Define this if FTGMAC100 is connected to gigabit PHY. 1010 If your system has 10/100 PHY only, it might not occur 1011 wrong behavior. Because PHY usually return timeout or 1012 useless data when polling gigabit status and gigabit 1013 control registers. This behavior won't affect the 1014 correctnessof 10/100 link speed update. 1015 1016 CONFIG_SH_ETHER 1017 Support for Renesas on-chip Ethernet controller 1018 1019 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_USE_PORT 1020 Define the number of ports to be used 1021 1022 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_PHY_ADDR 1023 Define the ETH PHY's address 1024 1025 CONFIG_SH_ETHER_CACHE_WRITEBACK 1026 If this option is set, the driver enables cache flush. 1027 1028- PWM Support: 1029 CONFIG_PWM_IMX 1030 Support for PWM module on the imx6. 1031 1032- TPM Support: 1033 CONFIG_TPM 1034 Support TPM devices. 1035 1036 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_INFINEON 1037 Support for Infineon i2c bus TPM devices. Only one device 1038 per system is supported at this time. 1039 1040 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_I2C_BURST_LIMITATION 1041 Define the burst count bytes upper limit 1042 1043 CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24 1044 Support for STMicroelectronics TPM devices. Requires DM_TPM support. 1045 1046 CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24_I2C 1047 Support for STMicroelectronics ST33ZP24 I2C devices. 1048 Requires TPM_ST33ZP24 and I2C. 1049 1050 CONFIG_TPM_ST33ZP24_SPI 1051 Support for STMicroelectronics ST33ZP24 SPI devices. 1052 Requires TPM_ST33ZP24 and SPI. 1053 1054 CONFIG_TPM_ATMEL_TWI 1055 Support for Atmel TWI TPM device. Requires I2C support. 1056 1057 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1058 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1059 per system is supported at this time. 1060 1061 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1062 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1063 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1064 0xfed40000. 1065 1066 CONFIG_TPM 1067 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1068 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1069 Requires support for a TPM device. 1070 1071 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1072 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1073 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1074 1075- USB Support: 1076 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1077 supported (PIP405, MIP405); define 1078 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1079 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1080 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1081 storage devices. 1082 Note: 1083 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1084 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1085 1086 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1087 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1088 1089 CONFIG_USB_DWC2_REG_ADDR the physical CPU address of the DWC2 1090 HW module registers. 1091 1092- USB Device: 1093 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1094 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1095 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1096 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1097 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1098 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1099 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1100 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1101 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1102 a Linux host by 1103 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1104 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1105 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1106 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1107 1108 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1109 Define this to build a UDC device 1110 1111 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1112 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1113 talk to the UDC device 1114 1115 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1116 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1117 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1118 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1119 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1120 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1121 speed. 1122 1123 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1124 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1125 be set to usbtty. 1126 1127 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1128 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1129 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1130 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1131 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1132 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1133 1134 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1135 Define this string as the name of your company for 1136 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1137 1138 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1139 Define this string as the name of your product 1140 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1141 1142 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1143 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1144 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1145 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1146 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1147 1148 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1149 Define this as the unique Product ID 1150 for your device 1151 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1152 1153- ULPI Layer Support: 1154 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1155 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1156 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1157 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1158 viewport is supported. 1159 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1160 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1161 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1162 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1163 the appropriate value in Hz. 1164 1165- MMC Support: 1166 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1167 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1168 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1169 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1170 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1171 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1172 1173 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1174 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1175 1176 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1177 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1178 1179 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1180 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1181 1182 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT 1183 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions. 1184 1185 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB 1186 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the 1187 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC. 1188 1189- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1190 CONFIG_DFU_OVER_USB 1191 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1192 1193 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1194 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1195 1196 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1197 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1198 1199 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1200 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1201 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1202 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1203 one that would help mostly the developer. 1204 1205 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1206 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1207 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1208 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1209 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1210 1211 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1212 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1213 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1214 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1215 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1216 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1217 1218 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT 1219 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the 1220 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending 1221 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device. 1222 1223 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT 1224 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when 1225 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before 1226 sending again an USB request to the device. 1227 1228- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1229 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND 1230 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1231 1232 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1233 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1234 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1235 1236- Keyboard Support: 1237 See Kconfig help for available keyboard drivers. 1238 1239 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1240 1241 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1242 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1243 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated 1244 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model 1245 instead. 1246 1247- Video support: 1248 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1249 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1250 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1251 support, and should also define these other macros: 1252 1253 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1254 CONFIG_VIDEO 1255 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1256 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1257 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1258 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1259 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1260 1261 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1262 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1263 boot. See the documentation file doc/README.video for a 1264 description of this variable. 1265 1266- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1267 1268 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1269 display); also select one of the supported displays 1270 by defining one of these: 1271 1272 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1273 1274 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1275 1276 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1277 1278 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1279 1280 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1281 1282 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1283 Active, color, single scan. 1284 1285 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1286 1287 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1288 Active, color, single scan. 1289 1290 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1291 1292 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1293 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1294 1295 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1296 1297 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1298 Active, color, single scan. 1299 1300 CONFIG_HLD1045 1301 1302 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1303 Active, color, single scan. 1304 1305 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1306 1307 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1308 or 1309 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1310 or 1311 Hitachi SP14Q002 1312 1313 320x240. Black & white. 1314 1315 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1316 1317 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is 1318 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1319 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1320 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1321 a per-section basis. 1322 1323 1324 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION 1325 1326 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait 1327 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree, 1328 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the 1329 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are 1330 printed out. 1331 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be 1332 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of 1333 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code. 1334 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to 1335 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline): 1336 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree 1337 1 = 90 degree rotation 1338 2 = 180 degree rotation 1339 3 = 270 degree rotation 1340 1341 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be 1342 initialized with 0degree rotation. 1343 1344 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1345 1346 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1347 1348 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1349 1350 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1351 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1352 1353- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1354 1355 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1356 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1357 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1358 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1359 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1360 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1361 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1362 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1363 1364 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1365 1366 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1367 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1368 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps). 1369 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1370 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1371 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1372 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1373 there is no need to set this option. 1374 1375 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1376 1377 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1378 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1379 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1380 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1381 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1382 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1383 1384 Example: 1385 setenv splashpos m,m 1386 => image at center of screen 1387 1388 setenv splashpos 30,20 1389 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1390 1391 setenv splashpos -10,m 1392 => vertically centered image 1393 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1394 1395- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1396 1397 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1398 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1399 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1400 1401- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1402 1403 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1404 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1405 bmp command. 1406 1407- Compression support: 1408 CONFIG_GZIP 1409 1410 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 1411 1412 CONFIG_BZIP2 1413 1414 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1415 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1416 compressed images are supported. 1417 1418 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1419 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1420 be at least 4MB. 1421 1422- MII/PHY support: 1423 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1424 1425 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1426 1427 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1428 1429 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1430 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1431 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1432 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1433 1434 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1435 1436 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1437 command issued before MII status register can be read 1438 1439- IP address: 1440 CONFIG_IPADDR 1441 1442 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1443 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1444 determined through e.g. bootp. 1445 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1446 1447- Server IP address: 1448 CONFIG_SERVERIP 1449 1450 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 1451 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 1452 (Environment variable "serverip") 1453 1454 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 1455 1456 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 1457 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 1458 1459- Gateway IP address: 1460 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 1461 1462 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 1463 default router where packets to other networks are 1464 sent to. 1465 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 1466 1467- Subnet mask: 1468 CONFIG_NETMASK 1469 1470 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 1471 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 1472 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 1473 forwarded through a router. 1474 (Environment variable "netmask") 1475 1476- Multicast TFTP Mode: 1477 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 1478 1479 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 1480 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 1481 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 1482 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 1483 multicast group. 1484 1485- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 1486 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 1487 1488 If you have many targets in a network that try to 1489 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 1490 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 1491 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 1492 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 1493 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 1494 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 1495 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 1496 following delays are inserted then: 1497 1498 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 1499 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 1500 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 1501 4th and following 1502 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 1503 1504 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE 1505 1506 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The 1507 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and 1508 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of 1509 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses 1510 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP 1511 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to 1512 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it 1513 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that 1514 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order 1515 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these 1516 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of 1517 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this 1518 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding 1519 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers 1520 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. 1521 1522- DHCP Advanced Options: 1523 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 1524 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 1525 1526 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 1527 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 1528 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 1529 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 1530 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 1531 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 1532 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 1533 1534 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 1535 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 1536 1537 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 1538 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 1539 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 1540 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 1541 is not available. 1542 1543 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 1544 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 1545 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 1546 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 1547 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 1548 option 12 to the DHCP server. 1549 1550 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 1551 1552 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 1553 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 1554 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 1555 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 1556 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 1557 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 1558 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 1559 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 1560 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 1561 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 1562 this delay. 1563 1564 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 1565 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 1566 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 1567 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 1568 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 1569 1570 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 1571 1572 - MAC address from environment variables 1573 1574 FDT_SEQ_MACADDR_FROM_ENV 1575 1576 Fix-up device tree with MAC addresses fetched sequentially from 1577 environment variables. This config work on assumption that 1578 non-usable ethernet node of device-tree are either not present 1579 or their status has been marked as "disabled". 1580 1581 - CDP Options: 1582 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 1583 1584 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 1585 1586 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 1587 1588 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 1589 of the device. 1590 1591 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 1592 1593 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 1594 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 1595 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 1596 1597 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 1598 1599 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 1600 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 1601 1602 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 1603 1604 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 1605 1606 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 1607 1608 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 1609 1610 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 1611 1612 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 1613 1614 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 1615 1616 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 1617 device in .1 of milliwatts. 1618 1619 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 1620 1621 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 1622 1623- Status LED: CONFIG_LED_STATUS 1624 1625 Several configurations allow to display the current 1626 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 1627 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 1628 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 1629 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 1630 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 1631 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this 1632 feature in U-Boot. 1633 1634 Additional options: 1635 1636 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO 1637 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. 1638 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a 1639 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO 1640 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. 1641 1642 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE 1643 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which 1644 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and 1645 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state. 1646 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined 1647 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity. 1648 1649- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 1650 1651 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 1652 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 1653 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 1654 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices.

If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 1803 define. 1804 1805 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 1806 hold a list of buses you want to use, only used if 1807 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 1808 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 1809 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 1810 1811 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 1812 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 1813 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 1814 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 1815 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 1816 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 1817 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 1818 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 1819 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 1820 } 1821 1822 which defines 1823 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 1824 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 1825 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 1826 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 1827 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 1828 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 1829 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 1830 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 1831 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 1832 1833 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 1834 1835- Legacy I2C Support: 1836 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 1837 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 1838 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 1839 1840 I2C_INIT 1841 1842 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 1843 controller or configure ports. 1844 1845 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 1846 1847 I2C_ACTIVE 1848 1849 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 1850 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 1851 define can be null. 1852 1853 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 1854 1855 I2C_TRISTATE 1856 1857 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 1858 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 1859 define can be null. 1860 1861 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 1862 1863 I2C_READ 1864 1865 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 1866 false if it is low. 1867 1868 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 1869 1870 I2C_SDA(bit) 1871 1872 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 1873 is false, it clears it (low). 1874 1875 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 1876 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 1877 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 1878 1879 I2C_SCL(bit) 1880 1881 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 1882 is false, it clears it (low). 1883 1884 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 1885 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 1886 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 1887 1888 I2C_DELAY 1889 1890 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 1891 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 1892 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 1893 like: 1894 1895 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 1896 1897 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 1898 1899 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 1900 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 1901 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 1902 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 1903 1904 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 1905 the generic GPIO functions. 1906 1907 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 1908 1909 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 1910 chips might think that the current transfer is still 1911 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 1912 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 1913 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 1914 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 1915 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 1916 is run early in the boot sequence. 1917 1918 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1919 1920 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 1921 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 1922 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 1923 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 1924 1925 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 1926 1927 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 1928 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1929 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 1930 a 1D array of device addresses 1931 1932 e.g. 1933 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1934 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 1935 1936 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 1937 1938 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 1939 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 1940 1941 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 1942 1943 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 1944 1945 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 1946 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 1947 1948 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 1949 1950 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 1951 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 1952 1953 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 1954 1955 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 1956 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 1957 between writing the address pointer and reading the 1958 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 1959 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 1960 devices can use either method, but some require one or 1961 the other. 1962 1963- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 1964 1965 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 1966 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 1967 D/As on the SACSng board) 1968 1969 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 1970 1971 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 1972 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 1973 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 1974 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 1975 defined, the board configuration must define several 1976 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 1977 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 1978 1979 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 1980 1981 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 1982 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 1983 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 1984 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 1985 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 1986 1987 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT 1988 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed. 1989 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */ 1990 1991- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 1992 1993 Enables FPGA subsystem. 1994 1995 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 1996 1997 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 1998 (ALTERA, XILINX) 1999 2000 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2001 2002 Enables support for FPGA family. 2003 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2004 2005 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2006 2007 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2008 2009 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2010 2011 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2012 2013 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2014 2015 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2016 status by the configuration function. This option 2017 will require a board or device specific function to 2018 be written. 2019 2020 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2021 2022 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2023 configuration driver. 2024 2025 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2026 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2027 2028 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2029 2030 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2031 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2032 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2033 indicated a CRC error). 2034 2035 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2036 2037 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to de-assert 2038 after PROB_B has been de-asserted during a Virtex II 2039 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2040 ms. 2041 2042 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2043 2044 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to de-assert during 2045 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2046 2047 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2048 2049 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2050 200 ms. 2051 2052- Configuration Management: 2053 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET 2054 2055 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary 2056 with a special header) as build targets. By defining 2057 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this 2058 special image will be automatically built upon calling 2059 make / buildman. 2060 2061 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2062 2063 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2064 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2065 2066- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2067 2068 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2069 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2070 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2071 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2072 protects these variables from casual modification by 2073 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2074 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2075 change this behaviour: 2076 2077 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2078 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2079 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2080 these parameters. 2081 2082 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the 2083 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2084 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2085 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2086 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2087 read-only.] 2088 2089 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2090 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2091 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2092 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2093 2094- Protected RAM: 2095 CONFIG_PRAM 2096 2097 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2098 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2099 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2100 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2101 this default value by defining an environment 2102 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2103 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2104 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2105 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2106 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2107 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2108 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2109 2110 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2111 saveenv 2112 2113 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2114 either, which results in a memory region that will 2115 not be affected by reboots. 2116 2117 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2118 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2119 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2120 following board configurations are known to be 2121 "pRAM-clean": 2122 2123 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, 2124 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2125 FLAGADM 2126 2127- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2128 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2129 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2130 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2131 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2132 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2133 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2134 2135- Error Recovery: 2136 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2137 2138 This variable defines the number of retries for 2139 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2140 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2141 default value of 5 is used. 2142 2143 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2144 2145 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2146 2147 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2148 2149 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2150 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2151 try longer timeout such as 2152 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2153 2154- Command Interpreter: 2155 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2156 2157 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2158 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2159 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2160 2161 Note: 2162 2163 In the current implementation, the local variables 2164 space and global environment variables space are 2165 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2166 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2167 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2168 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2169 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2170 2171 Global environment variables are those you use 2172 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2173 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2174 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2175 2176 To store commands and special characters in a 2177 variable, please use double quotation marks 2178 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2179 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2180 symbols. 2181 2182- Command Line Editing and History: 2183 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT 2184 2185 Enable support for changing the command prompt string 2186 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far. 2187 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1 2188 and PS2. 2189 2190- Default Environment: 2191 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2192 2193 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2194 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2195 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2196 2197 For example, place something like this in your 2198 board's config file: 2199 2200 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2201 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2202 "myvar2=value2\0" 2203 2204 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2205 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2206 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2207 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2208 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2209 You better know what you are doing here. 2210 2211 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2212 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2213 the environment like the "source" command or the 2214 boot command first. 2215 2216 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2217 2218 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2219 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2220 that so that the environment is not available until 2221 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2222 this is instead controlled by the value of 2223 /config/load-environment. 2224 2225- Serial Flash support 2226 Usage requires an initial 'sf probe' to define the serial 2227 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2228 commands. 2229 2230 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2231 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2232 flash is present on the system. 2233 2234 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2235 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2236 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2237 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2238 2239 2240- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2241 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2242 2243 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2244 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2245 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2246 number generator is used. 2247 2248 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 2249 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 2250 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 2251 2252 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 2253 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 2254 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 2255 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 2256 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 2257 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 2258 but sometimes that is not allowed. 2259 2260- Show boot progress: 2261 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 2262 2263 Defining this option allows to add some board- 2264 specific code (calling a user-provided function 2265 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 2266 the system's boot progress on some display (for 2267 example, some LED's) on your board.

2425 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 2426 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot. 2427 2428 Default: 2429 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined. 2430 2431 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY 2432 disable the legacy image format 2433 2434 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is 2435 enabled per default for backward compatibility. 2436 2437- Standalone program support: 2438 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 2439 2440 This option defines a board specific value for the 2441 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 2442 overwriting the architecture dependent default 2443 settings. 2444 2445- Frame Buffer Address: 2446 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 2447 2448 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 2449 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 2450 when using a graphics controller has separate video 2451 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 2452 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 2453 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 2454 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 2455 configured panel size. 2456 2457 Please see board_init_f function. 2458 2459- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 2460 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 2461 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 2462 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 2463 2464 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 2465 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 2466 2467- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 2468 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 2469 2470 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 2471 Needed for mtdparts command support. 2472 2473 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 2474 2475 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 2476 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 2477 2478- UBI support 2479 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD 2480 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest 2481 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks 2482 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing 2483 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase 2484 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. 2485 2486 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and 2487 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. 2488 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock 2489 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., 2490 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). 2491 2492 default: 4096 2493 2494 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT 2495 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI 2496 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the 2497 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR 2498 flash), this value is ignored. 2499 2500 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM 2501 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. 2502 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks 2503 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", 2504 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total 2505 count of eraseblocks on the chip). 2506 2507 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to 2508 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks 2509 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire 2510 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means 2511 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad 2512 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same 2513 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a 2514 partition. 2515 2516 default: 20 2517 2518 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP 2519 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device 2520 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it 2521 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. 2522 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach 2523 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where 2524 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install 2525 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter 2526 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note 2527 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations 2528 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap 2529 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. 2530 2531 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT 2532 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images 2533 without a fastmap. 2534 default: 0 2535 2536 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG 2537 Enable UBI fastmap debug 2538 default: 0 2539 2540- SPL framework 2541 CONFIG_SPL 2542 Enable building of SPL globally. 2543 2544 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 2545 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 2546 2547 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 2548 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 2549 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 2550 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 2551 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2552 must not be both defined at the same time. 2553 2554 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 2555 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 2556 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 2557 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 2558 not exceed it. 2559 2560 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 2561 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 2562 2563 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 2564 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 2565 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 2566 2567 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 2568 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 2569 2570 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2571 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 2572 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 2573 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 2574 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 2575 must not be both defined at the same time. 2576 2577 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 2578 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 2579 2580 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE 2581 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has 2582 loaded does not have a signature. 2583 Defining this is useful when code which loads images 2584 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors 2585 will be caught. 2586 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will 2587 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad, 2588 and thus should be skipped silently. 2589 2590 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 2591 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 2592 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 2593 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 2594 2595 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 2596 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 2597 When this option is set the full malloc is used in SPL and 2598 it is set up by spl_init() and before that, the simple malloc() 2599 can be used if CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F is defined. 2600 2601 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 2602 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 2603 2604 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT 2605 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL. 2606 See also: doc/README.falcon 2607 2608 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 2609 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 2610 about the running system. 2611 2612 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 2613 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 2614 2615 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_PARTITION 2616 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being 2617 used in raw mode 2618 2619 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 2620 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 2621 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 2622 2623 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 2624 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 2625 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 2626 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 2627 (for falcon mode) 2628 2629 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_FS_BOOT_PARTITION 2630 Partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from when the MMC is being 2631 used in fs mode 2632 2633 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 2634 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from filesystem 2635 2636 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 2637 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 2638 from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 2639 2640 CONFIG_SPL_FS_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 2641 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 2642 when reading from filesystem (for Falcon mode) 2643 2644 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 2645 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 2646 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 2647 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 2648 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 2649 2650 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE 2651 Avoid SPL relocation 2652 2653 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 2654 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 2655 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 2656 2657 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 2658 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 2659 2660 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 2661 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 2662 2663 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 2664 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 2665 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 2666 2667 CONFIG_SPL_UBI 2668 Support for a lightweight UBI (fastmap) scanner and 2669 loader 2670 2671 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_RAW_ONLY 2672 Support to boot only raw u-boot.bin images. Use this only 2673 if you need to save space. 2674 2675 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 2676 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 2677 SPL binary. 2678 2679 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 2680 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 2681 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 2682 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 2683 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 2684 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 2685 to read U-Boot 2686 2687 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT 2688 Add support NAND boot 2689 2690 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 2691 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 2692 2693 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 2694 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 2695 2696 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 2697 Size of image to load 2698 2699 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 2700 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 2701 2702 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 2703 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 2704 data. This is used, for example, on davinci platforms. 2705 2706 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 2707 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 2708 2709 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 2710 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 2711 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 2712 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 2713 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 2714 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 2715 2716 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 2717 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 2718 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 2719 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 2720 2721 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 2722 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 2723 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 2724 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 2725 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 2726 2727- TPL framework 2728 CONFIG_TPL 2729 Enable building of TPL globally. 2730 2731 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 2732 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 2733 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 2734 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 2735 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 2736 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 2737 2738- Interrupt support (PPC): 2739 2740 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 2741 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 2742 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 2743 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 2744 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 2745 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 2746 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 2747 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 2748 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 2749 general timer_interrupt(). 2750 2751 2752Board initialization settings: 2753------------------------------ 2754 2755During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 2756to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 2757before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 2758following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 2759architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 2760typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 2761 2762- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 2763- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 2764- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 2765- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 2766 2767Configuration Settings: 2768----------------------- 2769 2770- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit. 2771 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands. 2772 2773- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 2774 undefine this when you're short of memory. 2775 2776- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 2777 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 2778 2779- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 2780 prompt for user input. 2781 2782- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 2783 2784- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 2785 2786- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 2787 2788- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 2789 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 2790 booted 2791 2792- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 2793 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 2794 2795- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 2796 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 2797 simple memory test. 2798 2799- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 2800 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 2801 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 2802 2803- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE 2804 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now. 2805 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory 2806 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS. 2807 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable 2808 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems 2809 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks, 2810 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address. 2811 2812- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE: 2813 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 2814 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 2815 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 2816 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 2817 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 2818 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 2819 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 2820 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 2821 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 2822 2823 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 2824 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 2825 be touched. 2826 2827 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 2828 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 2829 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 2830 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 2831 problems. 2832 2833- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 2834 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 2835 2836- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 2837 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 2838 2839- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 2840 Physical start address of Flash memory. 2841 2842- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 2843 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 2844 make config files to be same as the text base address 2845 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 2846 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 2847 2848- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 2849 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 2850 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 2851 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 2852 flash sector. 2853 2854- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 2855 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 2856 2857- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN 2858 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If 2859 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation 2860 will become available before relocation. The address is just 2861 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make 2862 space. 2863 2864 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses 2865 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc() 2866 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing. 2867 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when 2868 U-Boot relocates itself. 2869 2870- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE 2871 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those 2872 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is 2873 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START). 2874 2875- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY: 2876 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be 2877 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped 2878 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would 2879 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For 2880 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the 2881 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed 2882 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding 2883 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e. 2884 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the 2885 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of 2886 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has 2887 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can 2888 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for 2889 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g. 2890 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes). 2891 2892 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present. 2893 2894- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 2895 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 2896 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 2897 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 2898 to adjust this setting to your needs. 2899 2900- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 2901 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 2902 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 2903 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 2904 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 2905 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 2906 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 2907 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 2908 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 2909 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 2910 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 2911 2912- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 2913 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 2914 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 2915 is enabled. 2916 2917- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 2918 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 2919 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 2920 2921- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 2922 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 2923 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 2924 2925- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 2926 Max number of Flash memory banks 2927 2928- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 2929 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 2930 2931- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 2932 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 2933 2934- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 2935 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 2936 2937- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 2938 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 2939 2940- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 2941 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 2942 2943- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 2944 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 2945 instead of U-Boot software protection. 2946 2947- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 2948 2949 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 2950 without this option such a download has to be 2951 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 2952 copy from RAM to flash. 2953 2954 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 2955 you can check if the download worked before you erase 2956 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 2957 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 2958 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 2959 2960- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 2961 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 2962 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 2963 2964- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 2965 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 2966 in the drivers directory 2967 2968- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 2969 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 2970 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 2971 to the MTD layer. 2972 2973- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 2974 Use buffered writes to flash. 2975 2976- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 2977 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 2978 write commands. 2979 2980- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 2981 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 2982 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 2983 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 2984 optionally available. 2985 2986- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 2987 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 2988 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 2989 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 2990 2991- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 2992 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 2993 against the source after the write operation. An error message 2994 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 2995 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 2996 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 2997 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 2998 this option if you really know what you are doing. 2999 3000- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3001 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3002 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3003 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3004 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3005 on high Ethernet traffic. 3006 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3007 3008- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3009 3010 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3011 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3012 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3013 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3014 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3015 3016- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3017- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3018 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 3019 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3020 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3021 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3022 3023 The format of the list is: 3024 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3025 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c] 3026 attributes = type_attribute[access_attribute] 3027 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3028 list = entry[,list] 3029 3030 The type attributes are: 3031 s - String (default) 3032 d - Decimal 3033 x - Hexadecimal 3034 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 3035 i - IP address 3036 m - MAC address 3037 3038 The access attributes are: 3039 a - Any (default) 3040 r - Read-only 3041 o - Write-once 3042 c - Change-default 3043 3044 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3045 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 3046 environment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3047 3048 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3049 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 3050 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 3051 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 3052 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 3053 ".flags" variable. 3054 3055 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a 3056 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same 3057 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable. 3058 3059- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 3060 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 3061 access flags. 3062 3063- CONFIG_USE_STDINT 3064 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this 3065 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when 3066 building U-Boot to enable this. 3067 3068The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 3069of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 3070following configurations: 3071 3072- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 3073 3074 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 3075 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 3076 3077BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 3078in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the 3079console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 3080U-Boot will hang. 3081 3082Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 3083environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 3084keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 3085to save the current settings. 3086 3087BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 3088"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 3089environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 3090but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 3091 3092- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 3093 3094 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 3095 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 3096 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 3097 3098Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 3099has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 3100created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use env_get_f() 3101until then to read environment variables. 3102 3103The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 3104is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 3105with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 3106necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 3107"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 3108have any device yet where we could complain.] 3109 3110Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 3111the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 3112use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 3113 3114- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 3115 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 3116 3117 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 3118 also needs to be defined. 3119 3120- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 3121 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 3122 3123- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 3124 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 3125 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 3126 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 3127 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 3128 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 3129 3130- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 3131 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 3132 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 3133 to do this. 3134 3135- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 3136 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 3137 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 3138 present. 3139 3140- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT: 3141 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the 3142 build system checks that the actual size does not 3143 exceed it. 3144 3145Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 3146--------------------------------------------------- 3147 3148- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 3149 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 3150 3151- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 3152 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 3153 PowerPC SOCs. 3154 3155- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 3156 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 3157 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 3158 3159- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 3160 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 3161 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 3162 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 3163 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 3164 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 3165 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 3166 3167 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 3168 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 3169 3170- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 3171 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 3172 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 3173 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3174 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3175 3176- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 3177 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 3178 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 3179 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 3180 3181- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 3182 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 3183 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 3184 3185- Floppy Disk Support: 3186 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 3187 3188 the default drive number (default value 0) 3189 3190 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 3191 3192 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 3193 (default value 1) 3194 3195 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 3196 3197 defines the offset of register from address. It 3198 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 3199 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 3200 3201 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 3202 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 3203 default value. 3204 3205 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 3206 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 3207 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 3208 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent 3209 initializations. 3210 3211- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 3212 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 3213 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 3214 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 3215 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 3216 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 3217 is required. 3218 3219- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 3220 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 3221 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx systems only] 3222 3223- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 3224 3225 Start address of memory area that can be used for 3226 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 3227 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 3228 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 3229 will become available only after programming the 3230 memory controller and running certain initialization 3231 sequences. 3232 3233 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 3234 - MPC8xx: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 3235 3236- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 3237 3238 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 3239 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 3240 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 3241 data is located at the end of the available space 3242 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 3243 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 3244 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 3245 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 3246 3247 Note: 3248 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 3249 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 3250 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 3251 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 3252 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 3253 3254- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 3255 3256- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 3257 SDRAM timing 3258 3259- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 3260 periodic timer for refresh 3261 3262- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 3263 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 3264 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 3265 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 3266 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 3267 3268- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 3269 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 3270 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 3271 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 3272 3273- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 3274 Only scan through and get the devices on the buses. 3275 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 3276 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 3277 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 3278 by coreboot or similar. 3279 3280- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 3281 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 3282 3283- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 3284 Chip has SRIO or not 3285 3286- CONFIG_SRIO1: 3287 Board has SRIO 1 port available 3288 3289- CONFIG_SRIO2: 3290 Board has SRIO 2 port available 3291 3292- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 3293 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 3294 3295- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 3296 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3297 3298- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 3299 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3300 3301- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 3302 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 3303 3304- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 3305 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 3306 a 16 bit bus. 3307 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 3308 Example of drivers that use it: 3309 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 3310 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 3311 3312- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 3313 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 3314 a default value will be used. 3315 3316- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 3317 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 3318 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 3319 3320 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 3321 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 3322 3323- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 3324 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 3325 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 3326 to something your driver can deal with. 3327 3328- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 3329 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 3330 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 3331 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 3332 header files or board specific files. 3333 3334- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 3335 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 3336 3337- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH 3338 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers. 3339 3340- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST 3341 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers. 3342 3343- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 3344 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 3345 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 3346 3347- CONFIG_RMII 3348 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 3349 Note that this is a global option, we can't 3350 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 3351 3352- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 3353 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 3354 The syntax is: 3355 3356 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 3357 3358 Where address/count indicate a memory area 3359 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 3360 area should have. 3361 3362- CONFIG_LOOPW 3363 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 3364 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY). 3365 3366- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 3367 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 3368 "md/mw" commands. 3369 Examples: 3370 3371 => mdc.b 10 4 500 3372 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 3373 3374 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 3375 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 3376 3377 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 3378 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEMORY). 3379 3380- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 3381 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS, RISC-V only] If this variable is defined, then certain 3382 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 3383 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 3384 relocate itself into RAM. 3385 3386 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 3387 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 3388 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 3389 these initializations itself. 3390 3391- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY 3392 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init() 3393 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the 3394 instruction cache) is still performed. 3395 3396- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 3397 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 3398 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 3399 compiling a NAND SPL. 3400 3401- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 3402 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 3403 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 3404 It is loaded by the SPL. 3405 3406- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 3407 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 3408 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 3409 previous 4k of the .text section. 3410 3411- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 3412 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 3413 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 3414 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 3415 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 3416 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 3417 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 3418 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 3419 3420- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 3421 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 3422 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 3423 3424- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE 3425 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver 3426 driver that uses this: 3427 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c 3428 3429Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 3430----------------------------------- 3431 3432The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 3433loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 3434This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 3435are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 3436within that device. 3437 3438- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR 3439 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The 3440 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 3441 is also specified. 3442 3443- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR 3444 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The 3445 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 3446 is also specified. 3447 3448- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 3449 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 3450 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 3451 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 3452 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 3453 3454- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 3455 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 3456 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 3457 virtual address in NOR flash. 3458 3459- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 3460 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 3461 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 3462 3463- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 3464 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 3465 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 3466 3467- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 3468 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 3469 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 3470 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 3471 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 3472 master's memory space. 3473 3474Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support: 3475--------------------------------------------------------- 3476The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of 3477"firmware". 3478This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 3479are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 3480within that device. 3481 3482- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET 3483 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs. 3484 3485Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support: 3486------------------------------------------- 3487The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of 3488"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom. 3489This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting. 3490 3491- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN 3492 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires 3493 3494Reproducible builds 3495------------------- 3496 3497In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build 3498process have to be set to a fixed value. 3499 3500This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable. 3501SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration 3502option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot. 3503 3504SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC. 3505 3506Building the Software: 3507====================== 3508 3509Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 3510and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 3511all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 3512(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 3513recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 3514which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 3515 3516If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 3517have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 3518you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 3519Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 3520necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 3521 3522 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 3523 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 3524 3525Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 3526 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 3527 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 3528 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 3529 3530 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 3531 3532 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 3533 be executed on computers running Windows. 3534 3535U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 3536sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 3537is done by typing: 3538 3539 make NAME_defconfig 3540 3541where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu- 3542rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 3543 3544Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 3545 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 3546 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 3547 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 3548 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 3549 3550 make TQM823L_defconfig 3551 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 3552 3553 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig 3554 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 3555 3556 etc. 3557 3558 3559Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 3560images ready for download to / installation on your system: 3561 3562- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 3563- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 3564- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 3565 3566By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 3567in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 3568this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 3569 35701. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 3571 3572 make O=/tmp/build distclean 3573 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig 3574 make O=/tmp/build all 3575 35762. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location: 3577 3578 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build 3579 make distclean 3580 make NAME_defconfig 3581 make all 3582 3583Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment 3584variable. 3585 3586User specific CPPFLAGS, AFLAGS and CFLAGS can be passed to the compiler by 3587setting the according environment variables KCPPFLAGS, KAFLAGS and KCFLAGS. 3588For example to treat all compiler warnings as errors: 3589 3590 make KCFLAGS=-Werror 3591 3592Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 3593for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 3594native "make". 3595 3596 3597If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 3598to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 3599steps: 3600 36011. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 3602 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 3603 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c". 36042. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 3605 your board. 36063. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 3607 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 36084. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. 36095. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 3610 to be installed on your target system. 36116. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 3612 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 3613 3614 3615Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 3616============================================================== 3617 3618If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 3619or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 3620provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 3621the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 3622official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 3623 3624But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 3625cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 3626the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 3627just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will 3628configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this 3629will take a while.

Using "setenv" 3701without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 3702environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 3703working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 3704environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 3705 3706Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 3707 3708List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 3709 3710 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 3711 3712 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 3713 3714 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 3715 3716 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 3717 3718 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 3719 3720 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 3721 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 3722 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 3723 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 3724 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 3725 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 3726 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 3727 bootm_mapsize. 3728 3729 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 3730 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 3731 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 3732 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 3733 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 3734 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 3735 used otherwise. 3736 3737 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 3738 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 3739 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 3740 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 3741 environment variable. 3742 3743 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 3744 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 3745 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 3746 3747 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 3748 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 3749 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 3750 load any image using TFTP 3751 3752 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 3753 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 3754 be automatically started (by internally calling 3755 "bootm") 3756 3757 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 3758 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 3759 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 3760 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 3761 data. 3762 3763 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 3764 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 3765 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 3766 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 3767 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 3768 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 3769 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 3770 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 3771 access it during the boot procedure. 3772 3773 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 3774 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 3775 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 3776 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 3777 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 3778 must be accessible by the kernel. 3779 3780 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 3781 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 3782 defined. 3783 3784 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 3785 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 3786 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 3787 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 3788 it must be saved and board must be reset. 3789 3790 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 3791 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 3792 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 3793 is usually what you want since it allows for 3794 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 3795 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 3796 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 3797 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 3798 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 3799 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 3800 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 3801 3802 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 3803 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 3804 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 3805 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 3806 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 3807 12 MB as well - this can be done with 3808 3809 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 3810 3811 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 3812 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 3813 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 3814 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 3815 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 3816 boot time on your system, but requires that this 3817 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 3818 3819 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3820 3821 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 3822 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 3823 3824 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 3825 3826 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 3827 3828 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 3829 3830 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 3831 3832 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 3833 3834 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 3835 3836 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 3837 For example you can do the following 3838 3839 => setenv ethact FEC 3840 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 3841 => setenv ethact SCC 3842 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 3843 3844 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 3845 available network interfaces. 3846 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 3847 3848 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 3849 either succeed or fail without retrying. 3850 When set to "once" the network operation will 3851 fail when all the available network interfaces 3852 are tried once without success. 3853 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 3854 themselves. 3855 3856 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 3857 3858 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by 3859 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 3860 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 3861 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 3862 is silent. 3863 3864 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 3865 UDP source port. 3866 3867 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 3868 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 3869 3870 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 3871 we use the TFTP server's default block size 3872 3873 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 3874 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 3875 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 3876 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 3877 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 3878 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 3879 with unreliable TFTP servers. 3880 3881 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no 3882 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts 3883 can happen during a single file transfer before that 3884 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means 3885 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help 3886 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with 3887 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware. 3888 3889 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 3890 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 3891 VLAN tagged frames. 3892 3893 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries. 3894 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will 3895 be either the default (28000), or a value based on 3896 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has 3897 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT. 3898 3899The following image location variables contain the location of images 3900used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 3901not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 3902variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 3903server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 3904loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 3905flash or offset in NAND flash. 3906 3907*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 3908boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some 3909boards use these variables for other purposes. 3910 3911Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 3912----- --------- ----------- -------------- 3913u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 3914Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 3915device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 3916ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 3917 3918The following environment variables may be used and automatically 3919updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 3920depending the information provided by your boot server: 3921 3922 bootfile - see above 3923 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 3924 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 3925 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 3926 hostname - Target hostname 3927 ipaddr - see above 3928 netmask - Subnet Mask 3929 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 3930 serverip - see above 3931 3932 3933There are two special Environment Variables: 3934 3935 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 3936 as type string and/or serial number 3937 ethaddr - Ethernet address 3938 3939These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 3940the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 3941once they have been set once. 3942 3943 3944Further special Environment Variables: 3945 3946 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 3947 with the "version" command. This variable is 3948 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 3949 3950 3951Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 3952only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 3953 3954 3955Callback functions for environment variables: 3956--------------------------------------------- 3957 3958For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 3959when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to 3960be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 3961deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 3962effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 3963 3964The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 3965U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 3966 3967These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 3968static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 3969in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 3970associations. The list must be in the following format: 3971 3972 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 3973 list = entry[,list] 3974 3975If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 3976Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 3977 3978Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 3979with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 3980override any association in the static list. You can define 3981CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 3982".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment. 3983 3984If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a 3985regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to 3986the same callback without explicitly listing them all out. 3987 3988 3989Command Line Parsing: 3990===================== 3991 3992There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 3993the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 3994 3995Old, simple command line parser: 3996-------------------------------- 3997 3998- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 3999- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 4000- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 4001- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 4002 for example: 4003 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 4004- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 4005 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 4006 4007Hush shell: 4008----------- 4009 4010- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 4011 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 4012 until...do...done, ... 4013- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 4014 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 4015 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 4016 command 4017 4018General rules: 4019-------------- 4020 4021(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 4022 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 4023 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 4024 executed anyway. 4025 4026(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 4027 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 4028 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 4029 variables are not executed. 4030 4031Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 4032======================================= 4033 4034Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 4035such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 4036"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 4037 4038Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 4039MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 4040"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 4041 4042If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 4043in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 4044ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 4045variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 4046 4047o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 4048 environment, the SROM's address is used. 4049 4050o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 4051 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 4052 used. 4053 4054o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 4055 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 4056 4057o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 4058 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 4059 warning is printed. 4060 4061o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 4062 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case 4063 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used. 4064 4065If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 4066will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 4067may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 4068The naming convention is as follows: 4069"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 4070 4071Image Formats: 4072============== 4073 4074U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 4075images in two formats: 4076 4077New uImage format (FIT) 4078----------------------- 4079 4080Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 4081to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 4082components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 4083SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 4084 4085 4086Old uImage format 4087----------------- 4088 4089Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 4090preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 4091details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 4092 4093* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 4094 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 4095 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 4096 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 4097 INTEGRITY). 4098* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, Intel x86, 4099 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 4100 Currently supported: ARM, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 4101* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 4102* Load Address 4103* Entry Point 4104* Image Name 4105* Image Timestamp 4106 4107The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 4108and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 4109CRC32 checksums. 4110 4111 4112Linux Support: 4113============== 4114 4115Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 4116easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 4117U-Boot. 4118 4119U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 4120special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 4121"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 4122instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 4123serves several purposes: 4124 4125- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 4126 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 4127 Flash memory footprint) 4128 4129- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 4130 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 4131 4132- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 4133 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 4134 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 4135 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 4136 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 4137 software is easier now. 4138 4139 4140Linux HOWTO: 4141============ 4142 4143Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 4144--------------------------------------- 4145 4146U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 4147configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 4148(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 4149Linux :-). 4150 4151But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 4152 4153Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 4154include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 4155Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 4156and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 4157as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 4158 4159Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. 4160If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there 4161is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See 4162doc/driver-model. 4163 4164 4165Configuring the Linux kernel: 4166----------------------------- 4167 4168No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 4169device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 4170 4171 4172Building a Linux Image: 4173----------------------- 4174 4175With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 4176not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 4177"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 4178U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 4179which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 4180100% compatible format. 4181 4182Example: 4183 4184 make TQM850L_defconfig 4185 make oldconfig 4186 make dep 4187 make uImage 4188 4189The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 4190encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 4191CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 4192 4193* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 4194 4195* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 4196 4197 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 4198 -R .note -R .comment \ 4199 -S vmlinux linux.bin 4200 4201* compress the binary image: 4202 4203 gzip -9 linux.bin 4204 4205* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 4206 4207 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 4208 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 4209 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 4210 4211 4212The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 4213with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 4214combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 4215byte header containing information about target architecture, 4216operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 4217stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 4218 4219"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 4220print the header information, or to build new images. 4221 4222In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 4223contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 4224checksum verification: 4225 4226 tools/mkimage -l image 4227 -l ==> list image header information 4228 4229The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 4230from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 4231 4232 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 4233 -n name -d data_file image 4234 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 4235 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 4236 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 4237 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 4238 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 4239 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 4240 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 4241 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 4242 4243Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 4244address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 4245kernel version: 4246 4247- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 4248- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 4249 4250So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 4251 4252 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4253 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 4254 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 4255 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 4256 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4257 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4258 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4259 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4260 Load Address: 0x00000000 4261 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4262 4263To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 4264 4265 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 4266 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4267 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4268 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 4269 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 4270 Load Address: 0x00000000 4271 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4272 4273NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 4274speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 4275needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 4276need to be uncompressed: 4277 4278 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 4279 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 4280 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 4281 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 4282 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 4283 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 4284 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 4285 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 4286 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 4287 Load Address: 0x00000000 4288 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4289 4290 4291Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 4292when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 4293 4294 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 4295 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 4296 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 4297 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 4298 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 4299 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 4300 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 4301 Load Address: 0x00000000 4302 Entry Point: 0x00000000 4303 4304The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i" 4305option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d" 4306option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file" 4307from the image: 4308 4309 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file 4310 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file' 4311 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 4312 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image' 4313 4314 4315Installing a Linux Image: 4316------------------------- 4317 4318To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 4319you must convert the image to S-Record format: 4320 4321 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 4322 4323The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 4324image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 4325address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 4506 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 4507 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 4508 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 4509 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 4510 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 4511 being started. 4512 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 4513 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 4514 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 4515 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 4516 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 4517 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 4518 4519 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 4520 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 4521 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 4522 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 4523 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 4524 a multiple of 4 bytes). 4525 4526 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 4527 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 4528 flash memory. 4529 4530 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 4531 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 4532 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 4533 as command interpreter. 4534 4535Booting the Linux zImage: 4536------------------------- 4537 4538On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 4539using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 4540as the syntax of "bootm" command. 4541 4542Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 4543kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 4544address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 4545format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 4546 4547 4548Standalone HOWTO: 4549================= 4550 4551One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 4552run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 4553U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 4554 4555Two simple examples are included with the sources: 4556 4557"Hello World" Demo: 4558------------------- 4559 4560'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 4561application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 4562It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 4563like that: 4564 4565 => loads 4566 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4567 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 4568 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4569 [file transfer complete] 4570 [connected] 4571 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4572 4573 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 4594controlled by the following keys: 4595 4596 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 4597 b - enable interrupts and start timer 4598 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 4599 q - quit application 4600 4601 => loads 4602 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 4603 ~>examples/timer.srec 4604 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 4605 [file transfer complete] 4606 [connected] 4607 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 4608 4609 => go 40004 4610 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 4611 TIMERS=0xfff00980 4612 Using timer 1 4613 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 4614 4615Hit 'b': 4616 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 4617 Enabling timer 4618Hit '?': 4619 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 4620 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 4621Hit '?': 4622 [q, b, e, ?] . 4623 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 4624Hit '?': 4625 [q, b, e, ?] . 4626 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 4627Hit '?': 4628 [q, b, e, ?] . 4629 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 4630Hit 'e': 4631 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 4632Hit 'q': 4633 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 4634 4635 4636Minicom warning: 4637================ 4638 4639Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 4640"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 4641consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 4642Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 4643especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 4644use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command).

Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 4682tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 4683meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 4684 4685 4686Implementation Internals: 4687========================= 4688 4689The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 4690implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 4691inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 4692hardware. 4693 4694 4695Initial Stack, Global Data: 4696--------------------------- 4697 4698The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 4699starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 4700system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 4701This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 4702is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 4703at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 4704options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 4705models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 4706MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 4707locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 4708 4709 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 4710 U-Boot mailing list: 4711 4712 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 4713 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 4714 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 4715 ... 4716 4717 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 4718 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 4719 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 4720 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 4721 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 4722 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 4723 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 4724 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 4725 4726 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 4727 is another option for the system designer to use as an 4728 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 4729 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 4730 board designers haven't used it for something that would 4731 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 4732 used. 4733 4734 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 4735 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 4736 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 4737 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 4738 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 4739 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 4740 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 4741 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 4742 you get the config right. 4743 4744 -Chris Hallinan 4745 DS4.COM, Inc. 4746 4747It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 4748code for the initialization procedures: 4749 4750* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 4751 to write it. 4752 4753* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized 4754 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 4755 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 4756 4757* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 4758 that. 4759 4760Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 4761normal global data to share information between the code. But it 4762turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 4763simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 4764functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 4765functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 4766the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 4767place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 4768reserve for this purpose. 4769 4770When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 4771relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 4772GCC's implementation. 4773 4774For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 4775 R1: stack pointer 4776 R2: reserved for system use 4777 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 4778 R5-R10: parameter passing 4779 R13: small data area pointer 4780 R30: GOT pointer 4781 R31: frame pointer 4782 4783 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 4784 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 4785 going back and forth between asm and C) 4786 4787 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 4788 4789 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 4790 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 4791 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 4792 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 4793 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 4794 624 text + 127 data). 4795 4796On ARM, the following registers are used: 4797 4798 R0: function argument word/integer result 4799 R1-R3: function argument word 4800 R9: platform specific 4801 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 4802 R11: argument (frame) pointer 4803 R12: temporary workspace 4804 R13: stack pointer 4805 R14: link register 4806 R15: program counter 4807 4808 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 4809 4810 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 4811 4812On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 4813 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 4814 4815 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 4816 4817 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 4818 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 4819 4820On NDS32, the following registers are used: 4821 4822 R0-R1: argument/return 4823 R2-R5: argument 4824 R15: temporary register for assembler 4825 R16: trampoline register 4826 R28: frame pointer (FP) 4827 R29: global pointer (GP) 4828 R30: link register (LP) 4829 R31: stack pointer (SP) 4830 PC: program counter (PC) 4831 4832 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 4833 4834NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 4835or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 4836 4837On RISC-V, the following registers are used: 4838 4839 x0: hard-wired zero (zero) 4840 x1: return address (ra) 4841 x2: stack pointer (sp) 4842 x3: global pointer (gp) 4843 x4: thread pointer (tp) 4844 x5: link register (t0) 4845 x8: frame pointer (fp) 4846 x10-x11: arguments/return values (a0-1) 4847 x12-x17: arguments (a2-7) 4848 x28-31: temporaries (t3-6) 4849 pc: program counter (pc) 4850 4851 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 4852 4853Memory Management: 4854------------------ 4855 4856U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 4857MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 4858 4859The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 4860controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 4861memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 4862physical memory banks. 4863 4864U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 4865TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 4866booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 4867to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 4868memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 4869configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 4870Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 4871 4872Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 4873of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 4874 4875So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 4876this: 4877 4878 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 4879 : 4880 0x0000 1FFF 4881 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 4882 : 4883 : 4884 4885 : 4886 : 4887 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 4888 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 4889 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 4890 : 4891 0x00FD FFFF 4892 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 4893 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 4894 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 4895 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 4896 4897 4898System Initialization: 4899---------------------- 4900 4901In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 4902(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 4903configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory. 4904To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 4905To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 4906initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 4907which provide such a feature like), or in a locked part of the data 4908cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, the caches and 4909the SIU. 4910 4911Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 4912preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 4913(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 4914on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 4915programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 4916simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 4917banks. 4918 4919When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 4920different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 4921bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 49220x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 4923contiguous memory starting from 0. 4924 4925Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 4926and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 4927Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 4928pages, and the final stack is set up. 4929 4930Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 4931until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 4932running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 4933new address in RAM. 4934 4935 4936U-Boot Porting Guide: 4937---------------------- 4938 4939[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 4940list, October 2002] 4941 4942 4943int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 4944{ 4945 sighandler_t no_more_time; 4946 4947 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 4948 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 4949 4950 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 4951 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 4952 return 0; 4953 } 4954 4955 Download latest U-Boot source; 4956 4957 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 4958 4959 if (clueless) 4960 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 4961 4962 while (learning) { 4963 Read the README file in the top level directory; 4964 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 4965 Read applicable doc/*.README; 4966 Read the source, Luke; 4967 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 4968 } 4969 4970 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 4971 Buy a BDI3000; 4972 else 4973 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 4974 4975 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 4976 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 4977 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 4978 } else { 4979 Create your own board support subdirectory; 4980 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 4981 } 4982 Edit new board/<myboard> files 4983 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 4984 4985 while (!accepted) { 4986 while (!running) { 4987 do { 4988 Add / modify source code; 4989 } until (compiles); 4990 Debug; 4991 if (clueless) 4992 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 4993 } 4994 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 4995 if (reasonable critiques) 4996 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 4997 else 4998 Defend code as written; 4999 } 5000 5001 return 0; 5002} 5003 5004void no_more_time (int sig) 5005{ 5006 hire_a_guru(); 5007} 5008 5009 5010Coding Standards: 5011----------------- 5012 5013All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 5014coding style; see the kernel coding style guide at 5015https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/coding-style.html, and the 5016script "scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 5017 5018Source files originating from a different project (for example the 5019MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 5020reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 5021sources. 5022 5023Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 5024Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 5025in your code. 5026 5027Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 5028- remove any trailing white space 5029- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 5030- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 5031- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 5032- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 5033 5034Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 5035with a request to reformat the changes. 5036 5037 5038Submitting Patches: 5039------------------- 5040 5041Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 5042establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 5043may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 5044 5045Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 5046 5047Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 5048see https://lists.denx.de/listinfo/u-boot 5049 5050When you send a patch, please include the following information with 5051it: 5052 5053* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 5054 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 5055 patch actually fixes something. 5056 5057* For new features: a description of the feature and your 5058 implementation. 5059 5060* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 5061 5062* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your 5063 information and associated file and directory references. 5064 5065* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a 5066 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. 5067 5068* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 5069 document these in the README file. 5070 5071* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 5072 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 5073 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 5074 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 5075 with some other mail clients. 5076 5077 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 5078 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 5079 GNU diff. 5080 5081 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 5082 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 5083 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 5084 affected files). 5085 5086 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 5087 and compressed attachments must not be used. 5088 5089* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 5090 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 5091 5092* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 5093 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 5094 5095 5096Notes: 5097 5098* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched 5099 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 5100 for any of the boards. 5101 5102* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 5103 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 5104 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 5105 5106* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 5107 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 5108 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 5109 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 5110 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 5111 modification. 5112 5113* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 5114 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 5115 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 5116 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 5117
