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 and CREDITS files to find out 38who contributed the specific port. The boards.cfg file lists board 39maintainers. 40 41Note: There is no CHANGELOG file in the actual U-Boot source tree; 42it can be created dynamically from the Git log using: 43 44 make CHANGELOG 45 46 47Where to get help: 48================== 49 50In case you have questions about, problems with or contributions for 51U-Boot you should send a message to the U-Boot mailing list at 52<u-boot@lists.denx.de>.

the 231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible. 232 233There are two classes of configuration variables: 234 235* Configuration _OPTIONS_: 236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with 237 "CONFIG_". 238 239* Configuration _SETTINGS_: 240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if 241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with 242 "CONFIG_SYS_". 243 244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even 245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to 246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic 247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards 248as an example here. 249 250 251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type: 252--------------------------------------------------- 253 254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default 255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig". 256 257Example: For a TQM823L module type: 258 259 cd u-boot 260 make TQM823L_defconfig 261 262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well; 263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent 264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README. 265 266 267Sandbox Environment: 268-------------------- 269 270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox' 271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture- 272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to 273run some of U-Boot's tests. 274 275See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details. 276 277 278Configuration Options: 279---------------------- 280 281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all 282such information is kept in a configuration file 283"include/configs/<board_name>.h". 284 285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in 286"include/configs/TQM823L.h". 287 288 289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux 290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to 291build a config tool - later. 292 293 294The following options need to be configured: 295 296- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX. 297 298- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS. 299 300- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined) 301 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002 302 303- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 304 Define exactly one of 305 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD 306--- FIXME --- not tested yet: 307 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P, 308 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50 309 310- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 311 Define exactly one of 312 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102 313 314- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined) 315 Define one or more of 316 CONFIG_CMA302 317 318- Motherboard Options: (if CONFIG_CMA101 or CONFIG_CMA102 are defined) 319 Define one or more of 320 CONFIG_LCD_HEARTBEAT - update a character position on 321 the LCD display every second with 322 a "rotator" |\-/|\-/ 323 324- Marvell Family Member 325 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable 326 multiple fs option at one time 327 for marvell soc family 328 329- MPC824X Family Member (if CONFIG_MPC824X is defined) 330 Define exactly one of 331 CONFIG_MPC8240, CONFIG_MPC8245 332 333- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU) 334 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if 335 get_gclk_freq() cannot work 336 e.g. if there is no 32KHz 337 reference PIT/RTC clock 338 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK 339 or XTAL/EXTAL) 340 341- 859/866/885 CPU options: (if using a MPC859 or MPC866 or MPC885 CPU): 342 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MIN 343 CONFIG_SYS_8xx_CPUCLK_MAX 344 CONFIG_8xx_CPUCLK_DEFAULT 345 See doc/README.MPC866 346 347 CONFIG_SYS_MEASURE_CPUCLK 348 349 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead 350 of relying on the correctness of the configured 351 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure 352 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note 353 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz 354 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN) 355 356 CONFIG_SYS_DELAYED_ICACHE 357 358 Define this option if you want to enable the 359 ICache only when Code runs from RAM. 360 361- 85xx CPU Options: 362 CONFIG_SYS_PPC64 363 364 Specifies that the core is a 64-bit PowerPC implementation (implements 365 the "64" category of the Power ISA). This is necessary for ePAPR 366 compliance, among other possible reasons. 367 368 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_TBCLK_DIV 369 370 Defines the core time base clock divider ratio compared to the 371 system clock. On most PQ3 devices this is 8, on newer QorIQ 372 devices it can be 16 or 32. The ratio varies from SoC to Soc. 373 374 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_PCIE_COMPAT 375 376 Defines the string to utilize when trying to match PCIe device 377 tree nodes for the given platform. 378 379 CONFIG_SYS_PPC_E500_DEBUG_TLB 380 381 Enables a temporary TLB entry to be used during boot to work 382 around limitations in e500v1 and e500v2 external debugger 383 support. This reduces the portions of the boot code where 384 breakpoints and single stepping do not work. The value of this 385 symbol should be set to the TLB1 entry to be used for this 386 purpose. 387 388 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 389 390 Enables a workaround for erratum A004510. If set, 391 then CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV and 392 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY must be set. 393 394 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV 395 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510_SVR_REV2 (optional) 396 397 Defines one or two SoC revisions (low 8 bits of SVR) 398 for which the A004510 workaround should be applied. 399 400 The rest of SVR is either not relevant to the decision 401 of whether the erratum is present (e.g. p2040 versus 402 p2041) or is implied by the build target, which controls 403 whether CONFIG_SYS_FSL_ERRATUM_A004510 is set. 404 405 See Freescale App Note 4493 for more information about 406 this erratum. 407 408 CONFIG_A003399_NOR_WORKAROUND 409 Enables a workaround for IFC erratum A003399. It is only 410 requred during NOR boot. 411 412 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_CORENET_SNOOPVEC_COREONLY 413 414 This is the value to write into CCSR offset 0x18600 415 according to the A004510 workaround. 416 417 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_DDR_ADDR 418 This value denotes start offset of DDR memory which is 419 connected exclusively to the DSP cores. 420 421 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M2_RAM_ADDR 422 This value denotes start offset of M2 memory 423 which is directly connected to the DSP core. 424 425 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_M3_RAM_ADDR 426 This value denotes start offset of M3 memory which is directly 427 connected to the DSP core. 428 429 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DSP_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT 430 This value denotes start offset of DSP CCSR space. 431 432 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_SINGLE_SOURCE_CLK 433 Single Source Clock is clocking mode present in some of FSL SoC's. 434 In this mode, a single differential clock is used to supply 435 clocks to the sysclock, ddrclock and usbclock. 436 437 CONFIG_SYS_CPC_REINIT_F 438 This CONFIG is defined when the CPC is configured as SRAM at the 439 time of U-boot entry and is required to be re-initialized. 440 441 CONFIG_DEEP_SLEEP 442 Inidcates this SoC supports deep sleep feature. If deep sleep is 443 supported, core will start to execute uboot when wakes up. 444 445- Generic CPU options: 446 CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_GLOBAL_DATA 447 Defines global data is initialized in generic board board_init_f(). 448 If this macro is defined, global data is created and cleared in 449 generic board board_init_f(). Without this macro, architecture/board 450 should initialize global data before calling board_init_f(). 451 452 CONFIG_SYS_BIG_ENDIAN, CONFIG_SYS_LITTLE_ENDIAN 453 454 Defines the endianess of the CPU. Implementation of those 455 values is arch specific. 456 457 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR 458 Freescale DDR driver in use. This type of DDR controller is 459 found in mpc83xx, mpc85xx, mpc86xx as well as some ARM core 460 SoCs. 461 462 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_ADDR 463 Freescale DDR memory-mapped register base. 464 465 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_EMU 466 Specify emulator support for DDR.

It can be enabled for SoCs with 486 Freescale DDR1 or DDR2 controllers, depending on the board 487 implemetation. 488 489 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR2 490 Board config to use DDR2. It can be eanbeld for SoCs with 491 Freescale DDR2 or DDR3 controllers, depending on the board 492 implementation. 493 494 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3 495 Board config to use DDR3. It can be enabled for SoCs with 496 Freescale DDR3 or DDR3L controllers. 497 498 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR3L 499 Board config to use DDR3L. It can be enabled for SoCs with 500 DDR3L controllers. 501 502 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR4 503 Board config to use DDR4.

It is the 533 same as CONFIG_SYS_DDR_SDRAM_BASE for all Power SoCs. But 534 it could be different for ARM SoCs. 535 536 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_DDR_INTLV_256B 537 DDR controller interleaving on 256-byte. This is a special 538 interleaving mode, handled by Dickens for Freescale layerscape 539 SoCs with ARM core. 540 541- Intel Monahans options: 542 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_RUN_MODE_OSC_RATIO 543 544 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator 545 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core 546 frequency is this value multiplied by 13 MHz. 547 548 CONFIG_SYS_MONAHANS_TURBO_RUN_MODE_RATIO 549 550 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator 551 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and 552 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied 553 by this value. 554 555- MIPS CPU options: 556 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_SP_OFFSET 557 558 Offset relative to CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE for initial stack 559 pointer. This is needed for the temporary stack before 560 relocation. 561 562 CONFIG_SYS_MIPS_CACHE_MODE 563 564 Cache operation mode for the MIPS CPU. 565 See also arch/mips/include/asm/mipsregs.h. 566 Possible values are: 567 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NO_WA 568 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_WA 569 CONF_CM_UNCACHED 570 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_NONCOHERENT 571 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CE 572 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_COW 573 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_CUW 574 CONF_CM_CACHABLE_ACCELERATED 575 576 CONFIG_SYS_XWAY_EBU_BOOTCFG 577 578 Special option for Lantiq XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. 579 See also arch/mips/cpu/mips32/start.S. 580 581 CONFIG_XWAY_SWAP_BYTES 582 583 Enable compilation of tools/xway-swap-bytes needed for Lantiq 584 XWAY SoCs for booting from NOR flash. The U-Boot image needs to 585 be swapped if a flash programmer is used. 586 587- ARM options: 588 CONFIG_SYS_EXCEPTION_VECTORS_HIGH 589 590 Select high exception vectors of the ARM core, e.g., do not 591 clear the V bit of the c1 register of CP15. 592 593 CONFIG_SYS_THUMB_BUILD 594 595 Use this flag to build U-Boot using the Thumb instruction 596 set for ARM architectures. Thumb instruction set provides 597 better code density. For ARM architectures that support 598 Thumb2 this flag will result in Thumb2 code generated by 599 GCC. 600 601 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_716044 602 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_742230 603 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_743622 604 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_751472 605 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_794072 606 CONFIG_ARM_ERRATA_761320 607 608 If set, the workarounds for these ARM errata are applied early 609 during U-Boot startup. Note that these options force the 610 workarounds to be applied; no CPU-type/version detection 611 exists, unlike the similar options in the Linux kernel. Do not 612 set these options unless they apply! 613 614- CPU timer options: 615 CONFIG_SYS_HZ 616 617 The frequency of the timer returned by get_timer(). 618 get_timer() must operate in milliseconds and this CONFIG 619 option must be set to 1000. 620 621- Linux Kernel Interface: 622 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ 623 624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz 625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux 626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the 627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable 628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot 629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the 630 Linux kernel. 631 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of 632 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the 633 default environment. 634 635 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only] 636 637 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions 638 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB. 639 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes. 640 641 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 642 643 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be 644 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware 645 concepts). 646 647 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 648 * New libfdt-based support 649 * Adds the "fdt" command 650 * The bootm command automatically updates the fdt 651 652 OF_CPU - The proper name of the cpus node (only required for 653 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 654 OF_SOC - The proper name of the soc node (only required for 655 MPC512X and MPC5xxx based boards). 656 OF_TBCLK - The timebase frequency. 657 OF_STDOUT_PATH - The path to the console device 658 659 boards with QUICC Engines require OF_QE to set UCC MAC 660 addresses 661 662 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP 663 664 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make 665 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel 666 667 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU 668 669 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot 670 param header, the default value is zero if undefined. 671 672 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP 673 674 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not. 675 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot 676 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux, 677 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and 678 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where 679 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7. 680 681 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory] 682 683 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one 684 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type 685 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry 686 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/). 687 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported 688 in a single configuration file and the machine type is 689 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting. 690 691- vxWorks boot parameters: 692 693 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following 694 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname. 695 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile. 696 697 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name 698 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address 699 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server 700 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters 701 702 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS 703 704 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret" 705 706 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride 707 the defaults discussed just above. 708 709- Cache Configuration: 710 CONFIG_SYS_ICACHE_OFF - Do not enable instruction cache in U-Boot 711 CONFIG_SYS_DCACHE_OFF - Do not enable data cache in U-Boot 712 CONFIG_SYS_L2CACHE_OFF- Do not enable L2 cache in U-Boot 713 714- Cache Configuration for ARM: 715 CONFIG_SYS_L2_PL310 - Enable support for ARM PL310 L2 cache 716 controller 717 CONFIG_SYS_PL310_BASE - Physical base address of PL310 718 controller register space 719 720- Serial Ports: 721 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL 722 723 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs. 724 725 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL 726 727 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs. 728 729 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK 730 731 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to 732 the clock speed of the UARTs. 733 734 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS 735 736 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board, 737 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported) 738 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h 739 740 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR 741 742 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500) 743 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set 744 this variable to initialize the extra register. 745 746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT 747 748 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage 749 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this 750 variable to flush the UART at init time. 751 752 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL 753 754 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver. 755 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver 756 757- Console Interface: 758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port 759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2, 760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial 761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE 762 763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial 764 port routines must be defined elsewhere 765 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...) 766 767 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 768 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following 769 defines (cf. smiLynxEM, i8042) 770 VIDEO_FB_LITTLE_ENDIAN graphic memory organisation 771 (default big endian) 772 VIDEO_HW_RECTFILL graphic chip supports 773 rectangle fill 774 (cf. smiLynxEM) 775 VIDEO_HW_BITBLT graphic chip supports 776 bit-blit (cf. smiLynxEM) 777 VIDEO_VISIBLE_COLS visible pixel columns 778 (cols=pitch) 779 VIDEO_VISIBLE_ROWS visible pixel rows 780 VIDEO_PIXEL_SIZE bytes per pixel 781 VIDEO_DATA_FORMAT graphic data format 782 (0-5, cf. cfb_console.c) 783 VIDEO_FB_ADRS framebuffer address 784 VIDEO_KBD_INIT_FCT keyboard int fct 785 (i.e. i8042_kbd_init()) 786 VIDEO_TSTC_FCT test char fct 787 (i.e. i8042_tstc) 788 VIDEO_GETC_FCT get char fct 789 (i.e. i8042_getc) 790 CONFIG_CONSOLE_CURSOR cursor drawing on/off 791 (requires blink timer 792 cf. i8042.c) 793 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BLINK_COUNT blink interval (cf. i8042.c) 794 CONFIG_CONSOLE_TIME display time/date info in 795 upper right corner 796 (requires CONFIG_CMD_DATE) 797 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO display Linux logo in 798 upper left corner 799 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO use bmp_logo.h instead of 800 linux_logo.h for logo. 801 Requires CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 802 CONFIG_CONSOLE_EXTRA_INFO 803 additional board info beside 804 the logo 805 806 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support 807 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control, 808 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control). 809 810 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is 811 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with 812 environment 'console=serial'. 813 814 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console 815 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with 816 the "silent" environment variable. See 817 doc/README.silent for more information. 818 819 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default 820 is 0x00. 821 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default 822 is 0xa0. 823 824- Console Baudrate: 825 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps 826 Select one of the baudrates listed in 827 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 828 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale 829 830- Console Rx buffer length 831 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define 832 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC. 833 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible. 834 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE 835 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for 836 the SMC. 837 838- Pre-Console Buffer: 839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART 840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded. 841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to 842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being 843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is 845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ 846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the 847 earlier bytes are discarded. 848 849 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if 850 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2 851 852- Safe printf() functions 853 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of 854 the printf() functions. These are defined in 855 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and 856 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes. 857 If this option is not given then these functions will 858 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means 859 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case. 860 861- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds 862 Delay before automatically booting the default image; 863 set to -1 to disable autoboot. 864 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort 865 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined). 866 867 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that 868 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required. 869 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 870 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN 871 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED 872 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT 873 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 874 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 875 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2 876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2 877 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK 878 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY 879 880- Autoboot Command: 881 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 882 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled; 883 define a command string that is automatically executed 884 when no character is read on the console interface 885 within "Boot Delay" after reset. 886 887 CONFIG_BOOTARGS 888 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm 889 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the 890 environment value "bootargs". 891 892 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT 893 The value of these goes into the environment as 894 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used 895 as a convenience, when switching between booting from 896 RAM and NFS. 897 898- Bootcount: 899 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 900 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot 901 cycle, see: 902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 903 904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV 905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware 906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a 907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable 908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is 909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is 910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment. 911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available" 912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully. 913 914- Pre-Boot Commands: 915 CONFIG_PREBOOT 916 917 When this option is #defined, the existence of the 918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked 919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp. 921 entering interactive mode. 922 923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is 924 automatically generated or modified. For an example 925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is 926 modified when the user holds down a certain 927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when 928 booting the systems 929 930- Serial Download Echo Mode: 931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a 933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are 934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal 935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take 936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial 937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable. 938 939- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined) 940 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE 941 Select one of the baudrates listed in 942 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below. 943 944- Monitor Functions: 945 Monitor commands can be included or excluded 946 from the build by using the #include files 947 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted 948 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h> 949 and augmenting with additional #define's 950 for wanted commands. 951 952 The default command configuration includes all commands 953 except those marked below with a "*". 954 955 CONFIG_CMD_AES AES 128 CBC encrypt/decrypt 956 CONFIG_CMD_ASKENV * ask for env variable 957 CONFIG_CMD_BDI bdinfo 958

all functions except of network 1063 support you can write: 1064 1065 #include "config_cmd_all.h" 1066 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET 1067 1068 Other Commands: 1069 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT 1070 1071 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands 1072 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know 1073 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data 1074 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or 1075 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be 1076 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other 1077 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an 1078 initial stack and some data. 1079 1080 1081 XXX - this list needs to get updated! 1082 1083- Regular expression support: 1084 CONFIG_REGEX 1085 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against 1086 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library, 1087 which adds regex support to some commands, as for 1088 example "env grep" and "setexpr". 1089 1090- Device tree: 1091 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 1092 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree 1093 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically 1094 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is 1095 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device 1096 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob. 1097 1098 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can 1099 be done using one of the two options below: 1100 1101 CONFIG_OF_EMBED 1102 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree 1103 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the 1104 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file 1105 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through 1106 the global data structure as gd->blob. 1107 1108 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE 1109 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree 1110 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific 1111 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by: 1112 1113 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin 1114 1115 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called 1116 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can 1117 still use the individual files if you need something more 1118 exotic. 1119 1120- Watchdog: 1121 CONFIG_WATCHDOG 1122 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog 1123 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC 1124 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260 1125 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR 1126 register. When supported for a specific SoC is 1127 available, then no further board specific code should 1128 be needed to use it. 1129 1130 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG 1131 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used 1132 SoC, then define this variable and provide board 1133 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function. 1134 1135- U-Boot Version: 1136 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE 1137 If this variable is defined, an environment variable 1138 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot 1139 version as printed by the "version" command. 1140 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the 1141 next reset. 1142 1143- Real-Time Clock: 1144 1145 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC 1146 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the 1147 following options: 1148 1149 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx 1150 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC 1151 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC 1152 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC 1153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC 1154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC 1155 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC 1156 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC 1157 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC 1158 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC 1159 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC 1160 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337 1161 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on 1162 RV3029 RTC. 1163 1164 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1165 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1166 1167- GPIO Support: 1168 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO 1169 1170 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of 1171 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of 1172 pins supported by a particular chip. 1173 1174 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface 1175 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below. 1176 1177- I/O tracing: 1178 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O 1179 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out 1180 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is 1181 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that 1182 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code 1183 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To 1184 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>' 1185 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test. 1186 1187 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below. 1188 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will 1189 still continue to operate. 1190 1191 iotrace is enabled 1192 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address) 1193 Size: 00010000 (buffer size) 1194 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset) 1195 Output: 10000120 (start + offset) 1196 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records) 1197 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records) 1198 1199- Timestamp Support: 1200 1201 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp 1202 (date and time) of an image is printed by image 1203 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is 1204 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE . 1205 1206- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported: 1207 Zero or more of the following: 1208 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table. 1209 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the 1210 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc. 1211 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc. 1212 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the 1213 bootloader.

Requires I2C support. 1405 1406 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_LPC 1407 Support for generic parallel port TPM devices. Only one device 1408 per system is supported at this time. 1409 1410 CONFIG_TPM_TIS_BASE_ADDRESS 1411 Base address where the generic TPM device is mapped 1412 to. Contemporary x86 systems usually map it at 1413 0xfed40000. 1414 1415 CONFIG_CMD_TPM 1416 Add tpm monitor functions. 1417 Requires CONFIG_TPM. If CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS is set, also 1418 provides monitor access to authorized functions. 1419 1420 CONFIG_TPM 1421 Define this to enable the TPM support library which provides 1422 functional interfaces to some TPM commands. 1423 Requires support for a TPM device. 1424 1425 CONFIG_TPM_AUTH_SESSIONS 1426 Define this to enable authorized functions in the TPM library. 1427 Requires CONFIG_TPM and CONFIG_SHA1. 1428 1429- USB Support: 1430 At the moment only the UHCI host controller is 1431 supported (PIP405, MIP405, MPC5200); define 1432 CONFIG_USB_UHCI to enable it. 1433 define CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD to enable the USB Keyboard 1434 and define CONFIG_USB_STORAGE to enable the USB 1435 storage devices. 1436 Note: 1437 Supported are USB Keyboards and USB Floppy drives 1438 (TEAC FD-05PUB). 1439 MPC5200 USB requires additional defines: 1440 CONFIG_USB_CLOCK 1441 for 528 MHz Clock: 0x0001bbbb 1442 CONFIG_PSC3_USB 1443 for USB on PSC3 1444 CONFIG_USB_CONFIG 1445 for differential drivers: 0x00001000 1446 for single ended drivers: 0x00005000 1447 for differential drivers on PSC3: 0x00000100 1448 for single ended drivers on PSC3: 0x00004100 1449 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EVENT_POLL 1450 May be defined to allow interrupt polling 1451 instead of using asynchronous interrupts 1452 1453 CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TXFIFO_THRESH enables setting of the 1454 txfilltuning field in the EHCI controller on reset. 1455 1456- USB Device: 1457 Define the below if you wish to use the USB console. 1458 Once firmware is rebuilt from a serial console issue the 1459 command "setenv stdin usbtty; setenv stdout usbtty" and 1460 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print 1461 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty 1462 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to 1463 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a 1464 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device. 1465 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate 1466 a Linux host by 1467 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID 1468 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment 1469 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following 1470 might be defined in YourBoardName.h 1471 1472 CONFIG_USB_DEVICE 1473 Define this to build a UDC device 1474 1475 CONFIG_USB_TTY 1476 Define this to have a tty type of device available to 1477 talk to the UDC device 1478 1479 CONFIG_USBD_HS 1480 Define this to enable the high speed support for usb 1481 device and usbtty. If this feature is enabled, a routine 1482 int is_usbd_high_speed(void) 1483 also needs to be defined by the driver to dynamically poll 1484 whether the enumeration has succeded at high speed or full 1485 speed. 1486 1487 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 1488 Define this if you want stdin, stdout &/or stderr to 1489 be set to usbtty. 1490 1491 mpc8xx: 1492 CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0xBLAH 1493 Derive USB clock from external clock "blah" 1494 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_EXTC_CLK 0x02 1495 1496 CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0xBLAH 1497 Derive USB clock from brgclk 1498 - CONFIG_SYS_USB_BRG_CLK 0x04 1499 1500 If you have a USB-IF assigned VendorID then you may wish to 1501 define your own vendor specific values either in BoardName.h 1502 or directly in usbd_vendor_info.h. If you don't define 1503 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER, CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME, 1504 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID and CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID, then U-Boot 1505 should pretend to be a Linux device to it's target host. 1506 1507 CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER 1508 Define this string as the name of your company for 1509 - CONFIG_USBD_MANUFACTURER "my company" 1510 1511 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME 1512 Define this string as the name of your product 1513 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCT_NAME "acme usb device" 1514 1515 CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 1516 Define this as your assigned Vendor ID from the USB 1517 Implementors Forum. This *must* be a genuine Vendor ID 1518 to avoid polluting the USB namespace. 1519 - CONFIG_USBD_VENDORID 0xFFFF 1520 1521 CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 1522 Define this as the unique Product ID 1523 for your device 1524 - CONFIG_USBD_PRODUCTID 0xFFFF 1525 1526- ULPI Layer Support: 1527 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via 1528 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY 1529 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and 1530 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based 1531 viewport is supported. 1532 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and 1533 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file. 1534 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the 1535 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to 1536 the appropriate value in Hz. 1537 1538- MMC Support: 1539 The MMC controller on the Intel PXA is supported. To 1540 enable this define CONFIG_MMC. The MMC can be 1541 accessed from the boot prompt by mapping the device 1542 to physical memory similar to flash. Command line is 1543 enabled with CONFIG_CMD_MMC. The MMC driver also works with 1544 the FAT fs. This is enabled with CONFIG_CMD_FAT. 1545 1546 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF 1547 Support for Renesas on-chip MMCIF controller 1548 1549 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_ADDR 1550 Define the base address of MMCIF registers 1551 1552 CONFIG_SH_MMCIF_CLK 1553 Define the clock frequency for MMCIF 1554 1555 CONFIG_GENERIC_MMC 1556 Enable the generic MMC driver 1557 1558 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_BOOT 1559 Enable some additional features of the eMMC boot partitions. 1560 1561 CONFIG_SUPPORT_EMMC_RPMB 1562 Enable the commands for reading, writing and programming the 1563 key for the Replay Protection Memory Block partition in eMMC. 1564 1565- USB Device Firmware Update (DFU) class support: 1566 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION 1567 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class 1568 1569 CONFIG_CMD_DFU 1570 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have 1571 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command 1572 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be 1573 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host. 1574 1575 CONFIG_DFU_MMC 1576 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU. 1577 1578 CONFIG_DFU_NAND 1579 This enables support for exposing NAND devices via DFU. 1580 1581 CONFIG_DFU_RAM 1582 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU. 1583 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but 1584 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage, 1585 one that would help mostly the developer. 1586 1587 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE 1588 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the 1589 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer 1590 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable 1591 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable. 1592 1593 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE 1594 When updating files rather than the raw storage device, 1595 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write 1596 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define 1597 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer. 1598 Default is 4 MiB if undefined. 1599 1600 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT 1601 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the 1602 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending 1603 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device. 1604 1605 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT 1606 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when 1607 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before 1608 sending again an USB request to the device. 1609 1610- USB Device Android Fastboot support: 1611 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT 1612 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android 1613 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB 1614 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control 1615 used on Android devices. 1616 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information. 1617 1618 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE 1619 This enables support for booting images which use the Android 1620 image format header. 1621 1622 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR 1623 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1624 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for 1625 downloaded images. 1626 1627 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE 1628 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for 1629 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a 1630 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot. 1631 1632 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH 1633 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing 1634 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define 1635 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command. 1636 1637 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV 1638 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information 1639 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to 1640 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image. 1641 1642- Journaling Flash filesystem support: 1643 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_OFF, CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_SIZE, 1644 CONFIG_JFFS2_NAND_DEV 1645 Define these for a default partition on a NAND device 1646 1647 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_SECTOR, 1648 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_FIRST_BANK, CONFIG_SYS_JFFS2_NUM_BANKS 1649 Define these for a default partition on a NOR device 1650 1651 CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_CUSTOM_PART 1652 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a 1653 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num) 1654 1655 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to 1656 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1 1657 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you 1658 have not defined a custom partition 1659 1660- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem write function support: 1661 CONFIG_FAT_WRITE 1662 1663 Define this to enable support for saving memory data as a 1664 file in FAT formatted partition. 1665 1666 This will also enable the command "fatwrite" enabling the 1667 user to write files to FAT. 1668 1669CBFS (Coreboot Filesystem) support 1670 CONFIG_CMD_CBFS 1671 1672 Define this to enable support for reading from a Coreboot 1673 filesystem. Available commands are cbfsinit, cbfsinfo, cbfsls 1674 and cbfsload. 1675 1676- FAT(File Allocation Table) filesystem cluster size: 1677 CONFIG_FS_FAT_MAX_CLUSTSIZE 1678 1679 Define the max cluster size for fat operations else 1680 a default value of 65536 will be defined. 1681 1682- Keyboard Support: 1683 CONFIG_ISA_KEYBOARD 1684 1685 Define this to enable standard (PC-Style) keyboard 1686 support 1687 1688 CONFIG_I8042_KBD 1689 Standard PC keyboard driver with US (is default) and 1690 GERMAN key layout (switch via environment 'keymap=de') support. 1691 Export function i8042_kbd_init, i8042_tstc and i8042_getc 1692 for cfb_console. Supports cursor blinking. 1693 1694 CONFIG_CROS_EC_KEYB 1695 Enables a Chrome OS keyboard using the CROS_EC interface. 1696 This uses CROS_EC to communicate with a second microcontroller 1697 which provides key scans on request. 1698 1699- Video support: 1700 CONFIG_VIDEO 1701 1702 Define this to enable video support (for output to 1703 video). 1704 1705 CONFIG_VIDEO_CT69000 1706 1707 Enable Chips & Technologies 69000 Video chip 1708 1709 CONFIG_VIDEO_SMI_LYNXEM 1710 Enable Silicon Motion SMI 712/710/810 Video chip. The 1711 video output is selected via environment 'videoout' 1712 (1 = LCD and 2 = CRT). If videoout is undefined, CRT is 1713 assumed. 1714 1715 For the CT69000 and SMI_LYNXEM drivers, videomode is 1716 selected via environment 'videomode'. Two different ways 1717 are possible: 1718 - "videomode=num" 'num' is a standard LiLo mode numbers. 1719 Following standard modes are supported (* is default): 1720 1721 Colors 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 1722 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1723 8 bits | 0x301* 0x303 0x305 0x161 0x307 1724 15 bits | 0x310 0x313 0x316 0x162 0x319 1725 16 bits | 0x311 0x314 0x317 0x163 0x31A 1726 24 bits | 0x312 0x315 0x318 ? 0x31B 1727 -------------+--------------------------------------------- 1728 (i.e. setenv videomode 317; saveenv; reset;) 1729 1730 - "videomode=bootargs" all the video parameters are parsed 1731 from the bootargs. (See drivers/video/videomodes.c) 1732 1733 1734 CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806 1735 Enable Epson SED13806 driver. This driver supports 8bpp 1736 and 16bpp modes defined by CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_8BPP 1737 or CONFIG_VIDEO_SED13806_16BPP 1738 1739 CONFIG_FSL_DIU_FB 1740 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for 1741 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU 1742 support, and should also define these other macros: 1743 1744 CONFIG_SYS_DIU_ADDR 1745 CONFIG_VIDEO 1746 CONFIG_CMD_BMP 1747 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE 1748 CONFIG_VIDEO_SW_CURSOR 1749 CONFIG_VGA_AS_SINGLE_DEVICE 1750 CONFIG_VIDEO_LOGO 1751 CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_LOGO 1752 1753 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment 1754 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during 1755 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a 1756 description of this variable. 1757 1758 CONFIG_VIDEO_VGA 1759 1760 Enable the VGA video / BIOS for x86. The alternative if you 1761 are using coreboot is to use the coreboot frame buffer 1762 driver. 1763 1764 1765- Keyboard Support: 1766 CONFIG_KEYBOARD 1767 1768 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support. 1769 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be 1770 defined in your board-specific files. 1771 The only board using this so far is RBC823. 1772 1773- LCD Support: CONFIG_LCD 1774 1775 Define this to enable LCD support (for output to LCD 1776 display); also select one of the supported displays 1777 by defining one of these: 1778 1779 CONFIG_ATMEL_LCD: 1780 1781 HITACHI TX09D70VM1CCA, 3.5", 240x320. 1782 1783 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448AC33: 1784 1785 NEC NL6448AC33-18. Active, color, single scan. 1786 1787 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC20 1788 1789 NEC NL6448BC20-08. 6.5", 640x480. 1790 Active, color, single scan. 1791 1792 CONFIG_NEC_NL6448BC33_54 1793 1794 NEC NL6448BC33-54. 10.4", 640x480. 1795 Active, color, single scan. 1796 1797 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9 1798 1799 Sharp 320x240. Active, color, single scan. 1800 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is. 1801 1802 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341 1803 1804 Sharp LQ64D341 display, 640x480. 1805 Active, color, single scan. 1806 1807 CONFIG_HLD1045 1808 1809 HLD1045 display, 640x480. 1810 Active, color, single scan. 1811 1812 CONFIG_OPTREX_BW 1813 1814 Optrex CBL50840-2 NF-FW 99 22 M5 1815 or 1816 Hitachi LMG6912RPFC-00T 1817 or 1818 Hitachi SP14Q002 1819 1820 320x240. Black & white. 1821 1822 Normally display is black on white background; define 1823 CONFIG_SYS_WHITE_ON_BLACK to get it inverted. 1824 1825 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT 1826 1827 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is 1828 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead. 1829 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE 1830 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on 1831 a per-section basis. 1832 1833 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES 1834 1835 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of 1836 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes 1837 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling 1838 is slow. 1839 1840 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8 1841 1842 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD. 1843 1844 CONFIG_I2C_EDID 1845 1846 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID 1847 information over I2C from an attached LCD display. 1848 1849- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN 1850 1851 If this option is set, the environment is checked for 1852 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display 1853 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD 1854 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address 1855 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The 1856 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This 1857 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is 1858 loaded very quickly after power-on. 1859 1860 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD 1861 1862 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment 1863 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address 1864 (see README.displaying-bmps). 1865 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment 1866 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data 1867 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned 1868 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them) 1869 there is no need to set this option. 1870 1871 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN 1872 1873 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned 1874 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the 1875 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as 1876 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it 1877 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also 1878 specify 'm' for centering the image. 1879 1880 Example: 1881 setenv splashpos m,m 1882 => image at center of screen 1883 1884 setenv splashpos 30,20 1885 => image at x = 30 and y = 20 1886 1887 setenv splashpos -10,m 1888 => vertically centered image 1889 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9 1890 1891- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP 1892 1893 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP 1894 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the 1895 splashscreen support or the bmp command. 1896 1897- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8 1898 1899 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images 1900 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the 1901 bmp command. 1902 1903- Do compresssing for memory range: 1904 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP 1905 1906 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method 1907 to compress the specified memory at its best effort. 1908 1909- Compression support: 1910 CONFIG_GZIP 1911 1912 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images. 1913 1914 CONFIG_BZIP2 1915 1916 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed 1917 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip 1918 compressed images are supported. 1919 1920 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so 1921 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should 1922 be at least 4MB. 1923 1924 CONFIG_LZMA 1925 1926 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed 1927 images is included. 1928 1929 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it 1930 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the 1931 formula: 1932 1933 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16) 1934 1935 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits 1936 and Literal pos bits. 1937 1938 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway, 1939 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a 1940 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is 1941 a very small buffer. 1942 1943 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and 1944 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring 1945 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value). 1946 1947 CONFIG_LZO 1948 1949 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images 1950 is included. 1951 1952- MII/PHY support: 1953 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR 1954 1955 The address of PHY on MII bus. 1956 1957 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx) 1958 1959 The clock frequency of the MII bus 1960 1961 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE 1962 1963 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex 1964 detection of gigabit PHY is included. 1965 1966 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY 1967 1968 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1969 reset before any MII register access is possible. 1970 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay 1971 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A) 1972 1973 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx) 1974 1975 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after 1976 command issued before MII status register can be read 1977 1978- Ethernet address: 1979 CONFIG_ETHADDR 1980 CONFIG_ETH1ADDR 1981 CONFIG_ETH2ADDR 1982 CONFIG_ETH3ADDR 1983 CONFIG_ETH4ADDR 1984 CONFIG_ETH5ADDR 1985 1986 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use 1987 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this 1988 is not determined automatically. 1989 1990- IP address: 1991 CONFIG_IPADDR 1992 1993 Define a default value for the IP address to use for 1994 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not 1995 determined through e.g. bootp. 1996 (Environment variable "ipaddr") 1997 1998- Server IP address: 1999 CONFIG_SERVERIP 2000 2001 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP 2002 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command. 2003 (Environment variable "serverip") 2004 2005 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR 2006 2007 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr' 2008 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option) 2009 2010- Gateway IP address: 2011 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP 2012 2013 Defines a default value for the IP address of the 2014 default router where packets to other networks are 2015 sent to. 2016 (Environment variable "gatewayip") 2017 2018- Subnet mask: 2019 CONFIG_NETMASK 2020 2021 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or 2022 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP 2023 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be 2024 forwarded through a router. 2025 (Environment variable "netmask") 2026 2027- Multicast TFTP Mode: 2028 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP 2029 2030 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per 2031 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets 2032 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet 2033 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a 2034 multicast group. 2035 2036- BOOTP Recovery Mode: 2037 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY 2038 2039 If you have many targets in a network that try to 2040 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all 2041 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same 2042 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery 2043 from a power failure, when all systems will try to 2044 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining 2045 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be 2046 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The 2047 following delays are inserted then: 2048 2049 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec 2050 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec 2051 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec 2052 4th and following 2053 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec 2054 2055 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE 2056 2057 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The 2058 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and 2059 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of 2060 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses 2061 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP 2062 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to 2063 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it 2064 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that 2065 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order 2066 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these 2067 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of 2068 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this 2069 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding 2070 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers 2071 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency. 2072 2073- DHCP Advanced Options: 2074 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining 2075 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols: 2076 2077 CONFIG_BOOTP_SUBNETMASK 2078 CONFIG_BOOTP_GATEWAY 2079 CONFIG_BOOTP_HOSTNAME 2080 CONFIG_BOOTP_NISDOMAIN 2081 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTPATH 2082 CONFIG_BOOTP_BOOTFILESIZE 2083 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2084 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 2085 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME 2086 CONFIG_BOOTP_NTPSERVER 2087 CONFIG_BOOTP_TIMEOFFSET 2088 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX 2089 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL 2090 2091 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip 2092 environment variable, not the BOOTP server. 2093 2094 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found 2095 after the configured retry count, the call will fail 2096 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over 2097 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server 2098 is not available. 2099 2100 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS 2101 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more 2102 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client. 2103 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS 2104 serverip will be stored in the additional environment 2105 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always 2106 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS 2107 is defined. 2108 2109 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable 2110 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they 2111 need the hostname of the DHCP requester. 2112 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content 2113 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as 2114 option 12 to the DHCP server. 2115 2116 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY 2117 2118 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between 2119 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request". 2120 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't 2121 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an 2122 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed 2123 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003 2124 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at 2125 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope 2126 that one of the retries will be successful but note that 2127 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than 2128 this delay. 2129 2130 - Link-local IP address negotiation: 2131 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network 2132 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration. 2133 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed 2134 to exist in all environments that the device must operate. 2135 2136 See doc/README.link-local for more information. 2137 2138 - CDP Options: 2139 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID 2140 2141 The device id used in CDP trigger frames. 2142 2143 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX 2144 2145 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address 2146 of the device. 2147 2148 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID 2149 2150 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of 2151 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets 2152 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc. 2153 2154 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES 2155 2156 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities; 2157 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards. 2158 2159 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION 2160 2161 An ascii string containing the version of the software. 2162 2163 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM 2164 2165 An ascii string containing the name of the platform. 2166 2167 CONFIG_CDP_TRIGGER 2168 2169 A 32bit integer sent on the trigger. 2170 2171 CONFIG_CDP_POWER_CONSUMPTION 2172 2173 A 16bit integer containing the power consumption of the 2174 device in .1 of milliwatts. 2175 2176 CONFIG_CDP_APPLIANCE_VLAN_TYPE 2177 2178 A byte containing the id of the VLAN. 2179 2180- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED 2181 2182 Several configurations allow to display the current 2183 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink 2184 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as 2185 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and 2186 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running 2187 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux 2188 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this 2189 feature in U-Boot. 2190 2191 Additional options: 2192 2193 CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2194 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin. 2195 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a 2196 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED 2197 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary. 2198 2199 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE 2200 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which 2201 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and 2202 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state. 2203 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined 2204 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity. 2205 2206- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER 2207 2208 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support 2209 on those systems that support this (optional) 2210 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules. 2211 2212- I2C Support: CONFIG_SYS_I2C 2213 2214 This enable the NEW i2c subsystem, and will allow you to use 2215 i2c commands at the u-boot command line (as long as you set 2216 CONFIG_CMD_I2C in CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c 2217 based realtime clock chips or other i2c devices. See 2218 common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the command line 2219 interface. 2220 2221 ported i2c driver to the new framework: 2222 - drivers/i2c/soft_i2c.c: 2223 - activate first bus with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT define 2224 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE 2225 for defining speed and slave address 2226 - activate second bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS2 define 2227 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_2 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_2 2228 for defining speed and slave address 2229 - activate third bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS3 define 2230 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_3 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_3 2231 for defining speed and slave address 2232 - activate fourth bus with I2C_SOFT_DECLARATIONS4 define 2233 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SPEED_4 and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT_SLAVE_4 2234 for defining speed and slave address 2235 2236 - drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c: 2237 - activate i2c driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_FSL 2238 define CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_OFFSET for setting the register 2239 offset CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SPEED for the i2c speed and 2240 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C_SLAVE for the slave addr of the first 2241 bus. 2242 - If your board supports a second fsl i2c bus, define 2243 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_OFFSET for the register offset 2244 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SPEED for the speed and 2245 CONFIG_SYS_FSL_I2C2_SLAVE for the slave address of the 2246 second bus. 2247 2248 - drivers/i2c/tegra_i2c.c: 2249 - activate this driver with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_TEGRA 2250 - This driver adds 4 i2c buses with a fix speed from 2251 100000 and the slave addr 0!

If you 2344 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this 2345 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can 2346 omit this define. 2347 2348 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS 2349 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware. 2350 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can 2351 omit this define. 2352 2353 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS 2354 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected 2355 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this 2356 define. 2357 2358 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES 2359 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if 2360 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example 2361 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and 2362 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9: 2363 2364 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES {{0, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2365 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 1}}}, \ 2366 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 2}}}, \ 2367 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 3}}}, \ 2368 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 4}}}, \ 2369 {0, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9547, 0x70, 5}}}, \ 2370 {1, {I2C_NULL_HOP}}, \ 2371 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 1}}}, \ 2372 {1, {{I2C_MUX_PCA9544, 0x72, 2}}}, \ 2373 } 2374 2375 which defines 2376 bus 0 on adapter 0 without a mux 2377 bus 1 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 1 2378 bus 2 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 2 2379 bus 3 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 3 2380 bus 4 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 4 2381 bus 5 on adapter 0 with a PCA9547 on address 0x70 port 5 2382 bus 6 on adapter 1 without a mux 2383 bus 7 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 1 2384 bus 8 on adapter 1 with a PCA9544 on address 0x72 port 2 2385 2386 If you do not have i2c muxes on your board, omit this define. 2387 2388- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C 2389 2390 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which 2391 provides the following compelling advantages: 2392 2393 - more than one i2c adapter is usable 2394 - approved multibus support 2395 - better i2c mux support 2396 2397 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. ** 2398 2399 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining 2400 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver 2401 for the selected CPU. 2402 2403 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot 2404 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in 2405 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime 2406 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the 2407 command line interface. 2408 2409 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller. 2410 2411 There are several other quantities that must also be 2412 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2413 2414 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED 2415 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus 2416 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie 2417 the CPU's i2c node address). 2418 2419 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx 2420 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node 2421 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See, 2422 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set 2423 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0. 2424 2425 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX 2426 2427 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2428 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2429 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start 2430 commands until the slave device responds. 2431 2432 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C. 2433 2434 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT) 2435 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are 2436 from include/configs/lwmon.h): 2437 2438 I2C_INIT 2439 2440 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C 2441 controller or configure ports. 2442 2443 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL) 2444 2445 I2C_PORT 2446 2447 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code 2448 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values 2449 are 0..3 for ports A..D. 2450 2451 I2C_ACTIVE 2452 2453 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active 2454 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this 2455 define can be null. 2456 2457 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA) 2458 2459 I2C_TRISTATE 2460 2461 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated 2462 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this 2463 define can be null. 2464 2465 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA) 2466 2467 I2C_READ 2468 2469 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high, 2470 false if it is low. 2471 2472 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0) 2473 2474 I2C_SDA(bit) 2475 2476 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it 2477 is false, it clears it (low). 2478 2479 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \ 2480 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \ 2481 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA 2482 2483 I2C_SCL(bit) 2484 2485 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it 2486 is false, it clears it (low). 2487 2488 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \ 2489 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \ 2490 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL 2491 2492 I2C_DELAY 2493 2494 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this 2495 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus 2496 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something 2497 like: 2498 2499 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2) 2500 2501 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA 2502 2503 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h), 2504 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be 2505 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will 2506 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate. 2507 2508 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to 2509 the generic GPIO functions. 2510 2511 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD 2512 2513 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer 2514 chips might think that the current transfer is still 2515 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access 2516 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the 2517 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin 2518 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a 2519 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c 2520 is run early in the boot sequence. 2521 2522 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT 2523 2524 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is 2525 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in 2526 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init() 2527 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus 2528 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c 2529 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of 2530 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus 2531 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address). 2532 2533 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 2534 2535 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags 2536 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment 2537 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast) 2538 2539 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2540 2541 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which 2542 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is 2543 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command. 2544 Note that bus numbering is zero-based. 2545 2546 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES 2547 2548 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped 2549 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2550 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify 2551 a 1D array of device addresses 2552 2553 e.g. 2554 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2555 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68} 2556 2557 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus 2558 2559 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS 2560 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}} 2561 2562 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1 2563 2564 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 2565 2566 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD. 2567 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0. 2568 2569 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM 2570 2571 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC. 2572 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0. 2573 2574 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM 2575 2576 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT. 2577 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0. 2578 2579 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR: 2580 2581 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device. 2582 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for 2583 specified DTT device. 2584 2585 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START 2586 2587 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in 2588 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start 2589 between writing the address pointer and reading the 2590 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour 2591 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C 2592 devices can use either method, but some require one or 2593 the other. 2594 2595- SPI Support: CONFIG_SPI 2596 2597 Enables SPI driver (so far only tested with 2598 SPI EEPROM, also an instance works with Crystal A/D and 2599 D/As on the SACSng board) 2600 2601 CONFIG_SH_SPI 2602 2603 Enables the driver for SPI controller on SuperH. Currently 2604 only SH7757 is supported. 2605 2606 CONFIG_SPI_X 2607 2608 Enables extended (16-bit) SPI EEPROM addressing. 2609 (symmetrical to CONFIG_I2C_X) 2610 2611 CONFIG_SOFT_SPI 2612 2613 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than 2614 using hardware support. This is a general purpose 2615 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins 2616 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is 2617 defined, the board configuration must define several 2618 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For 2619 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h. 2620 2621 CONFIG_HARD_SPI 2622 2623 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads 2624 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration 2625 must define a list of chip-select function pointers. 2626 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an 2627 example, see include/configs/mpc8349emds.h. 2628 2629 CONFIG_MXC_SPI 2630 2631 Enables the driver for the SPI controllers on i.MX and MXC 2632 SoCs. Currently i.MX31/35/51 are supported. 2633 2634 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_MXC_WAIT 2635 Timeout for waiting until spi transfer completed. 2636 default: (CONFIG_SYS_HZ/100) /* 10 ms */ 2637 2638- FPGA Support: CONFIG_FPGA 2639 2640 Enables FPGA subsystem. 2641 2642 CONFIG_FPGA_<vendor> 2643 2644 Enables support for specific chip vendors. 2645 (ALTERA, XILINX) 2646 2647 CONFIG_FPGA_<family> 2648 2649 Enables support for FPGA family. 2650 (SPARTAN2, SPARTAN3, VIRTEX2, CYCLONE2, ACEX1K, ACEX) 2651 2652 CONFIG_FPGA_COUNT 2653 2654 Specify the number of FPGA devices to support. 2655 2656 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADMK 2657 2658 Enable support for fpga loadmk command 2659 2660 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADP 2661 2662 Enable support for fpga loadp command - load partial bitstream 2663 2664 CONFIG_CMD_FPGA_LOADBP 2665 2666 Enable support for fpga loadbp command - load partial bitstream 2667 (Xilinx only) 2668 2669 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_PROG_FEEDBACK 2670 2671 Enable printing of hash marks during FPGA configuration. 2672 2673 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_BUSY 2674 2675 Enable checks on FPGA configuration interface busy 2676 status by the configuration function. This option 2677 will require a board or device specific function to 2678 be written. 2679 2680 CONFIG_FPGA_DELAY 2681 2682 If defined, a function that provides delays in the FPGA 2683 configuration driver. 2684 2685 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_CTRLC 2686 Allow Control-C to interrupt FPGA configuration 2687 2688 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_CHECK_ERROR 2689 2690 Check for configuration errors during FPGA bitfile 2691 loading. For example, abort during Virtex II 2692 configuration if the INIT_B line goes low (which 2693 indicated a CRC error). 2694 2695 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_INIT 2696 2697 Maximum time to wait for the INIT_B line to deassert 2698 after PROB_B has been deasserted during a Virtex II 2699 FPGA configuration sequence. The default time is 500 2700 ms. 2701 2702 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_BUSY 2703 2704 Maximum time to wait for BUSY to deassert during 2705 Virtex II FPGA configuration. The default is 5 ms. 2706 2707 CONFIG_SYS_FPGA_WAIT_CONFIG 2708 2709 Time to wait after FPGA configuration. The default is 2710 200 ms. 2711 2712- Configuration Management: 2713 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING 2714 2715 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot 2716 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION) 2717 2718- Vendor Parameter Protection: 2719 2720 U-Boot considers the values of the environment 2721 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and 2722 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that 2723 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and 2724 protects these variables from casual modification by 2725 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only, 2726 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can 2727 change this behaviour: 2728 2729 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config 2730 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is 2731 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete 2732 these parameters. 2733 2734 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR 2735 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default 2736 Ethernet address is installed in the environment, 2737 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The 2738 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains 2739 read-only.] 2740 2741 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way 2742 for any variable by configuring the type of access 2743 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable 2744 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC. 2745 2746- Protected RAM: 2747 CONFIG_PRAM 2748 2749 Define this variable to enable the reservation of 2750 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten 2751 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of 2752 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite 2753 this default value by defining an environment 2754 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to 2755 reserve. Note that the board info structure will 2756 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is 2757 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will 2758 automatically be defined to hold the amount of 2759 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot 2760 argument to Linux, for instance like that: 2761 2762 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem} 2763 saveenv 2764 2765 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory, 2766 either, which results in a memory region that will 2767 not be affected by reboots. 2768 2769 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic 2770 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that 2771 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the 2772 following board configurations are known to be 2773 "pRAM-clean": 2774 2775 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL, 2776 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, 2777 FLAGADM, TQM8260 2778 2779- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB) 2780 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not 2781 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures 2782 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit 2783 machines using physical address extension or similar. 2784 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which 2785 currently only supports clearing the memory. 2786 2787- Error Recovery: 2788 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG 2789 2790 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a 2791 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually. 2792 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded 2793 system where you want the system to reboot 2794 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be 2795 useful during development since you can try to debug 2796 the conditions that lead to the situation. 2797 2798 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT 2799 2800 This variable defines the number of retries for 2801 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP 2802 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a 2803 default value of 5 is used. 2804 2805 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT 2806 2807 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds. 2808 2809 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 2810 2811 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol. 2812 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command, 2813 try longer timeout such as 2814 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL 2815 2816- Command Interpreter: 2817 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE 2818 2819 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB. 2820 2821 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet 2822 for the "hush" shell. 2823 2824 2825 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER 2826 2827 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from 2828 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling 2829 powerful command line syntax like 2830 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||' 2831 constructs ("shell scripts"). 2832 2833 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour 2834 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint. 2835 2836 2837 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2 2838 2839 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is 2840 printed when the command interpreter needs more input 2841 to complete a command. Usually "> ". 2842 2843 Note: 2844 2845 In the current implementation, the local variables 2846 space and global environment variables space are 2847 separated. Local variables are those you define by 2848 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local 2849 variable later on, you have write `$name' or 2850 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable 2851 directly type `$name' at the command prompt. 2852 2853 Global environment variables are those you use 2854 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored 2855 in such a variable, you need to use the run command, 2856 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them. 2857 2858 To store commands and special characters in a 2859 variable, please use double quotation marks 2860 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead 2861 of the backslashes before semicolons and special 2862 symbols. 2863 2864- Commandline Editing and History: 2865 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING 2866 2867 Enable editing and History functions for interactive 2868 commandline input operations 2869 2870- Default Environment: 2871 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS 2872 2873 Define this to contain any number of null terminated 2874 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of 2875 the default environment compiled into the boot image. 2876 2877 For example, place something like this in your 2878 board's config file: 2879 2880 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \ 2881 "myvar1=value1\0" \ 2882 "myvar2=value2\0" 2883 2884 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the 2885 internal format how the environment is stored by the 2886 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported 2887 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format 2888 will change soon, there is no guarantee either. 2889 You better know what you are doing here. 2890 2891 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is 2892 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset 2893 the environment like the "source" command or the 2894 boot command first. 2895 2896 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG 2897 2898 Define this in order to add variables describing the 2899 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment. 2900 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc. 2901 2902 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined: 2903 2904 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH 2905 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU 2906 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD 2907 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR 2908 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC 2909 2910 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG 2911 2912 Define this in order to add variables describing certain 2913 run-time determined information about the hardware to the 2914 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev. 2915 2916 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT 2917 2918 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is 2919 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits 2920 that so that the environment is not available until 2921 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL 2922 this is instead controlled by the value of 2923 /config/load-environment. 2924 2925- DataFlash Support: 2926 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH 2927 2928 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and 2929 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard 2930 commands cp, md... 2931 2932- Serial Flash support 2933 CONFIG_CMD_SF 2934 2935 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands 2936 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'. 2937 2938 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial 2939 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update 2940 commands. 2941 2942 The following defaults may be provided by the platform 2943 to handle the common case when only a single serial 2944 flash is present on the system. 2945 2946 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier 2947 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select 2948 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h) 2949 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz 2950 2951 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST 2952 2953 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash 2954 test ('sf test'). 2955 2956 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg 2957 2958 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr 2959 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes. 2960 2961 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories 2962 2963 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash 2964 memories can be connected with a given cs line. 2965 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections. 2966 2967 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN 2968 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status 2969 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128. 2970 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with 2971 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the 2972 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1, 2973 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register 2974 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER 2975 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this 2976 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH. 2977 2978- SystemACE Support: 2979 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2980 2981 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE 2982 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address 2983 of the chip must also be defined in the 2984 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example: 2985 2986 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE 2987 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000 2988 2989 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type 2990 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls. 2991 2992- TFTP Fixed UDP Port: 2993 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT 2994 2995 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp 2996 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value. 2997 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port 2998 number generator is used. 2999 3000 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply 3001 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't 3002 defined, the normal port 69 is used. 3003 3004 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to 3005 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured 3006 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of 3007 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing 3008 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally. 3009 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall, 3010 but sometimes that is not allowed. 3011 3012- Hashing support: 3013 CONFIG_CMD_HASH 3014 3015 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce 3016 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256). 3017 3018 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY 3019 3020 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code 3021 size a little. 3022 3023 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing 3024 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing 3025 3026 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps 3027 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'. 3028 3029- Freescale i.MX specific commands: 3030 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT 3031 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an 3032 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific. 3033 3034 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE 3035 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing 3036 a boot from specific media. 3037 3038 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to 3039 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating 3040 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal 3041 will set it back to normal. This command currently 3042 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6. 3043 3044- Signing support: 3045 CONFIG_RSA 3046 3047 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification 3048 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information. 3049 3050 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this 3051 option. 3052 3053- bootcount support: 3054 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT 3055 3056 This enables the bootcounter support, see: 3057 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit 3058 3059 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE 3060 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards. 3061 CONFIG_BLACKFIN 3062 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards. 3063 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX 3064 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards. 3065 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM 3066 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM 3067 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C 3068 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device. 3069 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address 3070 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for 3071 the bootcounter. 3072 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len 3073 3074- Show boot progress: 3075 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS 3076 3077 Defining this option allows to add some board- 3078 specific code (calling a user-provided function 3079 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show 3080 the system's boot progress on some display (for 3081 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment, 3082 the following checkpoints are implemented: 3083 3084- Detailed boot stage timing 3085 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE 3086 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage 3087 of the boot process. 3088 3089 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT 3090 This is the number of available user bootstage records. 3091 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...) 3092 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed 3093 the limit, recording will stop. 3094 3095 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT 3096 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this: 3097 3098 Timer summary in microseconds: 3099 Mark Elapsed Stage 3100 0 0 reset 3101 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start 3102 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9 3103 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done 3104 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start 3105 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop 3106 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start 3107 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel 3108 3109 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE 3110 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report 3111 and un/stashing of bootstage data. 3112 3113 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT 3114 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage' 3115 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child 3116 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the 3117 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the 3118 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds. 3119 For example: 3120 3121 bootstage { 3122 154 { 3123 name = "board_init_f"; 3124 mark = <3575678>; 3125 }; 3126 170 { 3127 name = "lcd"; 3128 accum = <33482>; 3129 }; 3130 }; 3131 3132 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree. 3133 3134Legacy uImage format: 3135 3136 Arg Where When 3137 1 common/cmd_bootm.c before attempting to boot an image 3138 -1 common/cmd_bootm.c Image header

3288 CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3289 enables the legacy image format support in U-Boot. 3290 3291 Default: 3292 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined. 3293 3294 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY 3295 disable the legacy image format 3296 3297 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is 3298 enabled per default for backward compatibility. 3299 3300- FIT image support: 3301 CONFIG_FIT 3302 Enable support for the FIT uImage format. 3303 3304 CONFIG_FIT_BEST_MATCH 3305 When no configuration is explicitly selected, default to the 3306 one whose fdt's compatibility field best matches that of 3307 U-Boot itself. A match is considered "best" if it matches the 3308 most specific compatibility entry of U-Boot's fdt's root node. 3309 The order of entries in the configuration's fdt is ignored. 3310 3311 CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE 3312 This option enables signature verification of FIT uImages, 3313 using a hash signed and verified using RSA. See 3314 doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more details. 3315 3316 WARNING: When relying on signed FIT images with required 3317 signature check the legacy image format is default 3318 disabled. If a board need legacy image format support 3319 enable this through CONFIG_IMAGE_FORMAT_LEGACY 3320 3321 CONFIG_FIT_DISABLE_SHA256 3322 Supporting SHA256 hashes has quite an impact on binary size. 3323 For constrained systems sha256 hash support can be disabled 3324 with this option. 3325 3326- Standalone program support: 3327 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR 3328 3329 This option defines a board specific value for the 3330 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus 3331 overwriting the architecture dependent default 3332 settings. 3333 3334- Frame Buffer Address: 3335 CONFIG_FB_ADDR 3336 3337 Define CONFIG_FB_ADDR if you want to use specific 3338 address for frame buffer. This is typically the case 3339 when using a graphics controller has separate video 3340 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at 3341 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it 3342 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs 3343 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the 3344 configured panel size. 3345 3346 Please see board_init_f function. 3347 3348- Automatic software updates via TFTP server 3349 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP 3350 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_CNT_MAX 3351 CONFIG_UPDATE_TFTP_MSEC_MAX 3352 3353 These options enable and control the auto-update feature; 3354 for a more detailed description refer to doc/README.update. 3355 3356- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support) 3357 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE 3358 3359 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel. 3360 Needed for mtdparts command support. 3361 3362 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS 3363 3364 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux 3365 kernel. Needed for UBI support. 3366 3367 CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE 3368 verify if the written data is correct reread. 3369 3370- UBI support 3371 CONFIG_CMD_UBI 3372 3373 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted 3374 with the UBI flash translation layer 3375 3376 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE 3377 3378 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 3379 3380 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves 3381 warnings and errors enabled. 3382 3383 3384 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD 3385 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest 3386 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks 3387 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing 3388 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase 3389 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter. 3390 3391 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and 3392 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more. 3393 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock 3394 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g., 3395 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2). 3396 3397 default: 4096 3398 3399 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT 3400 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI 3401 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the 3402 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR 3403 flash), this value is ignored. 3404 3405 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM 3406 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime. 3407 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks 3408 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)", 3409 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total 3410 count of eraseblocks on the chip). 3411 3412 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to 3413 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks 3414 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire 3415 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means 3416 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad 3417 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same 3418 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a 3419 partition. 3420 3421 default: 20 3422 3423 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP 3424 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device 3425 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it 3426 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device. 3427 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach 3428 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where 3429 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install 3430 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter 3431 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note 3432 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations 3433 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap 3434 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps. 3435 3436 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT 3437 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images 3438 without a fastmap. 3439 default: 0 3440 3441- UBIFS support 3442 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS 3443 3444 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as 3445 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot. 3446 3447 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO 3448 3449 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 3450 3451 Make the verbose messages from UBIFS stop printing. This leaves 3452 warnings and errors enabled. 3453 3454- SPL framework 3455 CONFIG_SPL 3456 Enable building of SPL globally. 3457 3458 CONFIG_SPL_LDSCRIPT 3459 LDSCRIPT for linking the SPL binary. 3460 3461 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT 3462 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL, BSS included. 3463 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory 3464 used by SPL from _start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3465 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3466 must not be both defined at the same time. 3467 3468 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE 3469 Maximum size of the SPL image (text, data, rodata, and 3470 linker lists sections), BSS excluded. 3471 When defined, the linker checks that the actual size does 3472 not exceed it. 3473 3474 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE 3475 TEXT_BASE for linking the SPL binary. 3476 3477 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_TEXT_BASE 3478 Address to relocate to. If unspecified, this is equal to 3479 CONFIG_SPL_TEXT_BASE (i.e. no relocation is done). 3480 3481 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_START_ADDR 3482 Link address for the BSS within the SPL binary. 3483 3484 CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3485 Maximum size in memory allocated to the SPL BSS. 3486 When defined, the linker checks that the actual memory used 3487 by SPL from __bss_start to __bss_end does not exceed it. 3488 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_FOOTPRINT and CONFIG_SPL_BSS_MAX_SIZE 3489 must not be both defined at the same time. 3490 3491 CONFIG_SPL_STACK 3492 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use 3493 3494 CONFIG_SPL_RELOC_STACK 3495 Adress of the start of the stack SPL will use after 3496 relocation. If unspecified, this is equal to 3497 CONFIG_SPL_STACK. 3498 3499 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START 3500 Starting address of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3501 3502 CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_SIZE 3503 The size of the malloc pool used in SPL. 3504 3505 CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK 3506 Enable the SPL framework under common/. This framework 3507 supports MMC, NAND and YMODEM loading of U-Boot and NAND 3508 NAND loading of the Linux Kernel. 3509 3510 CONFIG_SPL_OS_BOOT 3511 Enable booting directly to an OS from SPL. 3512 See also: doc/README.falcon 3513 3514 CONFIG_SPL_DISPLAY_PRINT 3515 For ARM, enable an optional function to print more information 3516 about the running system. 3517 3518 CONFIG_SPL_INIT_MINIMAL 3519 Arch init code should be built for a very small image 3520 3521 CONFIG_SPL_LIBCOMMON_SUPPORT 3522 Support for common/libcommon.o in SPL binary 3523 3524 CONFIG_SPL_LIBDISK_SUPPORT 3525 Support for disk/libdisk.o in SPL binary 3526 3527 CONFIG_SPL_I2C_SUPPORT 3528 Support for drivers/i2c/libi2c.o in SPL binary 3529 3530 CONFIG_SPL_GPIO_SUPPORT 3531 Support for drivers/gpio/libgpio.o in SPL binary 3532 3533 CONFIG_SPL_MMC_SUPPORT 3534 Support for drivers/mmc/libmmc.o in SPL binary 3535 3536 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_U_BOOT_SECTOR, 3537 CONFIG_SYS_U_BOOT_MAX_SIZE_SECTORS, 3538 CONFIG_SYS_MMC_SD_FAT_BOOT_PARTITION 3539 Address, size and partition on the MMC to load U-Boot from 3540 when the MMC is being used in raw mode. 3541 3542 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_KERNEL_SECTOR 3543 Sector to load kernel uImage from when MMC is being 3544 used in raw mode (for Falcon mode) 3545 3546 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTOR, 3547 CONFIG_SYS_MMCSD_RAW_MODE_ARGS_SECTORS 3548 Sector and number of sectors to load kernel argument 3549 parameters from when MMC is being used in raw mode 3550 (for falcon mode) 3551 3552 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_SUPPORT 3553 Support for fs/fat/libfat.o in SPL binary 3554 3555 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_PAYLOAD_NAME 3556 Filename to read to load U-Boot when reading from FAT 3557 3558 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_KERNEL_NAME 3559 Filename to read to load kernel uImage when reading 3560 from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3561 3562 CONFIG_SPL_FAT_LOAD_ARGS_NAME 3563 Filename to read to load kernel argument parameters 3564 when reading from FAT (for Falcon mode) 3565 3566 CONFIG_SPL_MPC83XX_WAIT_FOR_NAND 3567 Set this for NAND SPL on PPC mpc83xx targets, so that 3568 start.S waits for the rest of the SPL to load before 3569 continuing (the hardware starts execution after just 3570 loading the first page rather than the full 4K). 3571 3572 CONFIG_SPL_SKIP_RELOCATE 3573 Avoid SPL relocation 3574 3575 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BASE 3576 Include nand_base.c in the SPL. Requires 3577 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS. 3578 3579 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_DRIVERS 3580 SPL uses normal NAND drivers, not minimal drivers. 3581 3582 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_ECC 3583 Include standard software ECC in the SPL 3584 3585 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_SIMPLE 3586 Support for NAND boot using simple NAND drivers that 3587 expose the cmd_ctrl() interface. 3588 3589 CONFIG_SPL_MTD_SUPPORT 3590 Support for the MTD subsystem within SPL. Useful for 3591 environment on NAND support within SPL. 3592 3593 CONFIG_SPL_MPC8XXX_INIT_DDR_SUPPORT 3594 Set for the SPL on PPC mpc8xxx targets, support for 3595 drivers/ddr/fsl/libddr.o in SPL binary. 3596 3597 CONFIG_SPL_COMMON_INIT_DDR 3598 Set for common ddr init with serial presence detect in 3599 SPL binary. 3600 3601 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_5_ADDR_CYCLE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_COUNT, 3602 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_PAGE_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_OOBSIZE, 3603 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BLOCK_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BAD_BLOCK_POS, 3604 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCPOS, CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCSIZE, 3605 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_ECCBYTES 3606 Defines the size and behavior of the NAND that SPL uses 3607 to read U-Boot 3608 3609 CONFIG_SPL_NAND_BOOT 3610 Add support NAND boot 3611 3612 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_OFFS 3613 Location in NAND to read U-Boot from 3614 3615 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_DST 3616 Location in memory to load U-Boot to 3617 3618 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_SIZE 3619 Size of image to load 3620 3621 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_U_BOOT_START 3622 Entry point in loaded image to jump to 3623 3624 CONFIG_SYS_NAND_HW_ECC_OOBFIRST 3625 Define this if you need to first read the OOB and then the 3626 data. This is used for example on davinci plattforms. 3627 3628 CONFIG_SPL_OMAP3_ID_NAND 3629 Support for an OMAP3-specific set of functions to return the 3630 ID and MFR of the first attached NAND chip, if present. 3631 3632 CONFIG_SPL_SERIAL_SUPPORT 3633 Support for drivers/serial/libserial.o in SPL binary 3634 3635 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_FLASH_SUPPORT 3636 Support for drivers/mtd/spi/libspi_flash.o in SPL binary 3637 3638 CONFIG_SPL_SPI_SUPPORT 3639 Support for drivers/spi/libspi.o in SPL binary 3640 3641 CONFIG_SPL_RAM_DEVICE 3642 Support for running image already present in ram, in SPL binary 3643 3644 CONFIG_SPL_LIBGENERIC_SUPPORT 3645 Support for lib/libgeneric.o in SPL binary 3646 3647 CONFIG_SPL_ENV_SUPPORT 3648 Support for the environment operating in SPL binary 3649 3650 CONFIG_SPL_NET_SUPPORT 3651 Support for the net/libnet.o in SPL binary. 3652 It conflicts with SPL env from storage medium specified by 3653 CONFIG_ENV_IS_xxx but CONFIG_ENV_IS_NOWHERE 3654 3655 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO 3656 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending 3657 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3658 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3659 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3660 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3661 3662 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET 3663 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs 3664 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for 3665 example if more than one image needs to be produced. 3666 3667 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT 3668 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of 3669 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this 3670 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the 3671 bootm command when booting a FIT image. 3672 3673- TPL framework 3674 CONFIG_TPL 3675 Enable building of TPL globally. 3676 3677 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO 3678 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending 3679 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as 3680 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined. 3681 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL 3682 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE. 3683 3684Modem Support: 3685-------------- 3686 3687[so far only for SMDK2400 boards] 3688 3689- Modem support enable: 3690 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT 3691 3692- RTS/CTS Flow control enable: 3693 CONFIG_HWFLOW 3694 3695- Modem debug support: 3696 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG 3697 3698 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg()) 3699 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000. 3700 3701- Interrupt support (PPC): 3702 3703 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt() 3704 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu() 3705 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu() 3706 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If 3707 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt 3708 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero. 3709 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU 3710 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led 3711 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from 3712 general timer_interrupt(). 3713 3714- General: 3715 3716 In the target system modem support is enabled when a 3717 specific key (key combination) is pressed during 3718 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally 3719 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from 3720 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy 3721 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem 3722 initialization. 3723 3724 If there are no modem init strings in the 3725 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the 3726 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be 3727 suppressed, though. 3728 3729 See also: doc/README.Modem 3730 3731Board initialization settings: 3732------------------------------ 3733 3734During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions 3735to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup 3736before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the 3737following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is 3738architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c 3739typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r(). 3740 3741- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_F: Call board_early_init_f() 3742- CONFIG_BOARD_EARLY_INIT_R: Call board_early_init_r() 3743- CONFIG_BOARD_LATE_INIT: Call board_late_init() 3744- CONFIG_BOARD_POSTCLK_INIT: Call board_postclk_init() 3745 3746Configuration Settings: 3747----------------------- 3748 3749- CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORT_64BIT_DATA: Defined automatically if compiled as 64-bit. 3750 Optionally it can be defined to support 64-bit memory commands. 3751 3752- CONFIG_SYS_LONGHELP: Defined when you want long help messages included; 3753 undefine this when you're short of memory. 3754 3755- CONFIG_SYS_HELP_CMD_WIDTH: Defined when you want to override the default 3756 width of the commands listed in the 'help' command output. 3757 3758- CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT: This is what U-Boot prints on the console to 3759 prompt for user input. 3760 3761- CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE: Buffer size for input from the Console 3762 3763- CONFIG_SYS_PBSIZE: Buffer size for Console output 3764 3765- CONFIG_SYS_MAXARGS: max. Number of arguments accepted for monitor commands 3766 3767- CONFIG_SYS_BARGSIZE: Buffer size for Boot Arguments which are passed to 3768 the application (usually a Linux kernel) when it is 3769 booted 3770 3771- CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE: 3772 List of legal baudrate settings for this board. 3773 3774- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_INFO_QUIET 3775 Suppress display of console information at boot. 3776 3777- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_IS_IN_ENV 3778 If the board specific function 3779 extern int overwrite_console (void); 3780 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the 3781 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used. 3782 3783- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE 3784 Enable the call to overwrite_console(). 3785 3786- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_ENV_OVERWRITE 3787 Enable overwrite of previous console environment settings. 3788 3789- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END: 3790 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the 3791 simple memory test. 3792 3793- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST: 3794 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test. 3795 3796- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH: 3797 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test 3798 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable 3799 3800- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only): 3801 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header, 3802 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top 3803 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By 3804 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed 3805 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either. 3806 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux 3807 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that 3808 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup 3809 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally. 3810 3811 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx 3812 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't 3813 be touched. 3814 3815 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of 3816 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case, 3817 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a 3818 non page size aligned address and this could cause major 3819 problems. 3820 3821- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE: 3822 Enable temporary baudrate change while serial download 3823 3824- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE: 3825 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here. 3826 3827- CONFIG_SYS_MBIO_BASE: 3828 Physical start address of Motherboard I/O (if using a 3829 Cogent motherboard) 3830 3831- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE: 3832 Physical start address of Flash memory. 3833 3834- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE: 3835 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by 3836 make config files to be same as the text base address 3837 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as 3838 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash. 3839 3840- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN: 3841 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to 3842 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is 3843 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate 3844 flash sector. 3845 3846- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN: 3847 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use. 3848 3849- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN 3850 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If 3851 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation 3852 will become available before relocation. The address is just 3853 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make 3854 space. 3855 3856 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses 3857 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc() 3858 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing. 3859 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when 3860 U-Boot relocates itself. 3861 3862 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox 3863 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs. 3864 3865- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN: 3866 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an 3867 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough, 3868 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file 3869 to adjust this setting to your needs. 3870 3871- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ: 3872 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of 3873 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by 3874 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if 3875 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low" 3876 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case 3877 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low" 3878 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment 3879 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of 3880 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined, 3881 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead. 3882 3883- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH: 3884 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the 3885 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand 3886 is enabled. 3887 3888- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE: 3889 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between 3890 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3891 3892- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD: 3893 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in 3894 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ. 3895 3896- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_BANKS: 3897 Max number of Flash memory banks 3898 3899- CONFIG_SYS_MAX_FLASH_SECT: 3900 Max number of sectors on a Flash chip 3901 3902- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_ERASE_TOUT: 3903 Timeout for Flash erase operations (in ms) 3904 3905- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_WRITE_TOUT: 3906 Timeout for Flash write operations (in ms) 3907 3908- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_LOCK_TOUT 3909 Timeout for Flash set sector lock bit operation (in ms) 3910 3911- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_UNLOCK_TOUT 3912 Timeout for Flash clear lock bits operation (in ms) 3913 3914- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_PROTECTION 3915 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used 3916 instead of U-Boot software protection. 3917 3918- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP: 3919 3920 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory; 3921 without this option such a download has to be 3922 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2) 3923 copy from RAM to flash. 3924 3925 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since 3926 you can check if the download worked before you erase 3927 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is 3928 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the 3929 downloaded image) this option may be very useful. 3930 3931- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI: 3932 Define if the flash driver uses extra elements in the 3933 common flash structure for storing flash geometry. 3934 3935- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER 3936 This option also enables the building of the cfi_flash driver 3937 in the drivers directory 3938 3939- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD 3940 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver 3941 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash 3942 to the MTD layer. 3943 3944- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE 3945 Use buffered writes to flash. 3946 3947- CONFIG_FLASH_SPANSION_S29WS_N 3948 s29ws-n MirrorBit flash has non-standard addresses for buffered 3949 write commands. 3950 3951- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_QUIET_TEST 3952 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't 3953 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This 3954 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only 3955 optionally available. 3956 3957- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS 3958 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown 3959 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80 3960 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays. 3961 3962- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY 3963 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared 3964 against the source after the write operation. An error message 3965 will be printed when the contents are not identical. 3966 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases, 3967 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier 3968 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable 3969 this option if you really know what you are doing. 3970 3971- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER: 3972 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some 3973 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value 3974 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all 3975 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface 3976 on high Ethernet traffic. 3977 Defaults to 4 if not defined. 3978 3979- CONFIG_ENV_MAX_ENTRIES 3980 3981 Maximum number of entries in the hash table that is used 3982 internally to store the environment settings. The default 3983 setting is supposed to be generous and should work in most 3984 cases. This setting can be used to tune behaviour; see 3985 lib/hashtable.c for details. 3986 3987- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 3988- CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 3989 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when 3990 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal, 3991 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined, 3992 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address. 3993 3994 The format of the list is: 3995 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m] 3996 access_atribute = [a|r|o|c] 3997 attributes = type_attribute[access_atribute] 3998 entry = variable_name[:attributes] 3999 list = entry[,list] 4000 4001 The type attributes are: 4002 s - String (default) 4003 d - Decimal 4004 x - Hexadecimal 4005 b - Boolean ([1yYtT|0nNfF]) 4006 i - IP address 4007 m - MAC address 4008 4009 The access attributes are: 4010 a - Any (default) 4011 r - Read-only 4012 o - Write-once 4013 c - Change-default 4014 4015 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_DEFAULT 4016 Define this to a list (string) to define the ".flags" 4017 envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 4018 4019 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC 4020 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that 4021 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags" 4022 environment variable. To override a setting in the static 4023 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the 4024 ".flags" variable. 4025 4026- CONFIG_ENV_ACCESS_IGNORE_FORCE 4027 If defined, don't allow the -f switch to env set override variable 4028 access flags. 4029 4030- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD 4031 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the 4032 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards 4033 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the 4034 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and 4035 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture 4036 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in 4037 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on 4038 your board please report the problem and send patches! 4039 4040- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only) 4041 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should 4042 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how 4043 the value can be calulated on a given board. 4044 4045The following definitions that deal with the placement and management 4046of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the 4047following configurations: 4048 4049- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC: 4050 4051 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils 4052 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images. 4053 4054- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH: 4055 4056 Define this if the environment is in flash memory. 4057 4058 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is 4059 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This 4060 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot 4061 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller 4062 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a 4063 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In 4064 such a case you would place the environment in one of the 4065 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With 4066 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the 4067 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap 4068 between U-Boot and the environment. 4069 4070 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4071 4072 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the 4073 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot 4074 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset 4075 for this sector is given here. 4076 4077 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE. 4078 4079 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4080 4081 This is just another way to specify the start address of 4082 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of 4083 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET). 4084 4085 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4086 4087 Size of the sector containing the environment. 4088 4089 4090 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors. 4091 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for 4092 the environment. 4093 4094 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4095 4096 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH 4097 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part 4098 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves 4099 memory for the RAM copy of the environment. 4100 4101 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this 4102 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code, 4103 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used 4104 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is 4105 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view: 4106 updating the environment in flash makes it always 4107 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes 4108 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in 4109 RAM, your target system will be dead. 4110 4111 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND 4112 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND 4113 4114 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold 4115 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is 4116 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during 4117 a "saveenv" operation. 4118 4119BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the 4120source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds* 4121accordingly! 4122 4123 4124- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM: 4125 4126 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device 4127 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the 4128 environment. 4129 4130 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4131 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4132 4133 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you 4134 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory 4135 can just be read and written to, without any special 4136 provision. 4137 4138BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early 4139in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the 4140console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or 4141U-Boot will hang. 4142 4143Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the 4144environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to 4145keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv" 4146to save the current settings. 4147 4148 4149- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM: 4150 4151 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access 4152 device and a driver for it. 4153 4154 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4155 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4156 4157 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4158 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM. 4159 4160 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR: 4161 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device. 4162 The default address is zero. 4163 4164 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS: 4165 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a 4166 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example 4167 would require six bits. 4168 4169 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS: 4170 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between 4171 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds. 4172 4173 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN: 4174 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note 4175 that this is NOT the chip address length! 4176 4177 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW: 4178 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones 4179 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of 4180 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit 4181 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256 4182 byte chips. 4183 4184 Note that we consider the length of the address field to 4185 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden 4186 in the chip address. 4187 4188 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE: 4189 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device. 4190 4191 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C 4192 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your 4193 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus. 4194 4195 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 4196 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over 4197 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this 4198 EEPROM. For example: 4199 4200 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1 4201 4202 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over 4203 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3. 4204 4205- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH: 4206 4207 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you 4208 want to use for the environment. 4209 4210 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4211 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4212 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4213 4214 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the 4215 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed 4216 at the specified address. 4217 4218- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH: 4219 4220 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you 4221 want to use for the environment. 4222 4223 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4224 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4225 4226 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the 4227 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4228 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4229 4230 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE: 4231 4232 Define the SPI flash's sector size. 4233 4234 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4235 4236 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4237 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4238 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4239 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4240 aligned to an erase sector boundary. 4241 4242 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional): 4243 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional): 4244 4245 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0. 4246 4247 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional): 4248 4249 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz. 4250 4251 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional): 4252 4253 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3. 4254 4255- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE: 4256 4257 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you 4258 want to use for the local device's environment. 4259 4260 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR: 4261 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4262 4263 These two #defines specify the address and size of the 4264 environment area within the remote memory space. The 4265 local device can get the environment from remote memory 4266 space by SRIO or PCIE links. 4267 4268BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use 4269"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the 4270environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link, 4271but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface. 4272 4273- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND: 4274 4275 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use 4276 for the environment. 4277 4278 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4279 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4280 4281 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4282 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be 4283 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4284 4285 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4286 4287 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE 4288 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so 4289 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure 4290 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be 4291 aligned to an erase block boundary. 4292 4293 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional): 4294 4295 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment 4296 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's 4297 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than 4298 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within 4299 the range to be avoided. 4300 4301 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional): 4302 4303 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the 4304 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The 4305 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset. 4306 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when 4307 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB. 4308 4309- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST 4310 4311 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the 4312 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to 4313 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4314 4315- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI: 4316 4317 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the 4318 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment 4319 accesses, which is important on NAND. 4320 4321 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART: 4322 4323 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI. 4324 4325 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME: 4326 4327 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the 4328 environment in. 4329 4330 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND: 4331 4332 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of 4333 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI. 4334 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition. 4335 4336 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG 4337 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG 4338 4339 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system 4340 when storing the env in UBI. 4341 4342- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT: 4343 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment. 4344 4345 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE: 4346 4347 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device. 4348 4349 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART: 4350 4351 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can 4352 be as following: 4353 4354 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1) 4355 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no 4356 partition table. 4357 - "D:0": device D. 4358 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition 4359 table, or the whole device D if has no partition 4360 table. 4361 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set. 4362 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no 4363 partition table then means device D. 4364 4365 - FAT_ENV_FILE: 4366 4367 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the 4368 envrionment. 4369 4370 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE: 4371 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file. 4372 4373- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC: 4374 4375 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the 4376 environment. 4377 4378 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV: 4379 4380 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in. 4381 4382 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional): 4383 4384 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not 4385 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be 4386 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition). 4387 4388 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET: 4389 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE: 4390 4391 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment 4392 area within the specified MMC device. 4393 4394 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to 4395 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated 4396 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if 4397 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have 4398 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the 4399 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the 4400 maximum possible space before it, to store other data. 4401 4402 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an 4403 MMC sector boundary. 4404 4405 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional): 4406 4407 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to 4408 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a 4409 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due 4410 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation. 4411 4412 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the 4413 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET. 4414 4415 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to 4416 an MMC sector boundary. 4417 4418 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional): 4419 4420 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is 4421 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as 4422 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE. 4423 4424- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET 4425 4426 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The 4427 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment 4428 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte 4429 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization 4430 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems 4431 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the 4432 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer. 4433 4434Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor 4435has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been 4436created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f() 4437until then to read environment variables. 4438 4439The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor 4440is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working 4441with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is 4442necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the 4443"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't 4444have any device yet where we could complain.] 4445 4446Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if 4447the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you 4448use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment. 4449 4450- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_ECHO_LINK_DOWN: 4451 Echo the inverted Ethernet link state to the fault LED. 4452 4453 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR 4454 also needs to be defined. 4455 4456- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR: 4457 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state. 4458 4459- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS: 4460 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init 4461 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at 4462 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving 4463 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not 4464 limited to NAND_SPL configurations. 4465 4466- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO 4467 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on 4468 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called 4469 to do this. 4470 4471- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE 4472 Similar to the previous option, but display this information 4473 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if 4474 present. 4475 4476- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT: 4477 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the 4478 build system checks that the actual size does not 4479 exceed it. 4480 4481Low Level (hardware related) configuration options: 4482--------------------------------------------------- 4483 4484- CONFIG_SYS_CACHELINE_SIZE: 4485 Cache Line Size of the CPU. 4486 4487- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR: 4488 Default address of the IMMR after system reset. 4489 4490 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU, 4491 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of 4492 the IMMR register after a reset. 4493 4494- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT: 4495 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale 4496 PowerPC SOCs. 4497 4498- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR: 4499 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically 4500 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. 4501 4502 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value, 4503 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead. 4504 4505- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS: 4506 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new 4507 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should 4508 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the 4509 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR 4510 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended 4511 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros: 4512 4513 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH 4514 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW) 4515 4516- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH: 4517 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically 4518 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is 4519 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4520 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4521 4522- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW: 4523 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is 4524 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or 4525 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL"). 4526 4527- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE: 4528 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be 4529 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated. 4530 4531- Floppy Disk Support: 4532 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER 4533 4534 the default drive number (default value 0) 4535 4536 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE 4537 4538 defines the spacing between FDC chipset registers 4539 (default value 1) 4540 4541 CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET 4542 4543 defines the offset of register from address. It 4544 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to 4545 the FDC chipset. (default value 0) 4546 4547 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and 4548 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their 4549 default value. 4550 4551 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function 4552 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC 4553 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board 4554 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant 4555 initializations. 4556 4557- CONFIG_IDE_AHB: 4558 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI 4559 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface. 4560 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to 4561 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional 4562 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller 4563 is requierd. 4564 4565- CONFIG_SYS_IMMR: Physical address of the Internal Memory. 4566 DO NOT CHANGE unless you know exactly what you're 4567 doing! (11-4) [MPC8xx/82xx systems only] 4568 4569- CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR: 4570 4571 Start address of memory area that can be used for 4572 initial data and stack; please note that this must be 4573 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special 4574 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which 4575 will become available only after programming the 4576 memory controller and running certain initialization 4577 sequences. 4578 4579 U-Boot uses the following memory types: 4580 - MPC8xx and MPC8260: IMMR (internal memory of the CPU) 4581 - MPC824X: data cache 4582 - PPC4xx: data cache 4583 4584- CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET: 4585 4586 Offset of the initial data structure in the memory 4587 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually 4588 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial 4589 data is located at the end of the available space 4590 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE - 4591 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just 4592 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR + 4593 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward. 4594 4595 Note: 4596 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data 4597 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for 4598 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must 4599 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between 4600 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space. 4601 4602- CONFIG_SYS_SIUMCR: SIU Module Configuration (11-6) 4603 4604- CONFIG_SYS_SYPCR: System Protection Control (11-9) 4605 4606- CONFIG_SYS_TBSCR: Time Base Status and Control (11-26) 4607 4608- CONFIG_SYS_PISCR: Periodic Interrupt Status and Control (11-31) 4609 4610- CONFIG_SYS_PLPRCR: PLL, Low-Power, and Reset Control Register (15-30) 4611 4612- CONFIG_SYS_SCCR: System Clock and reset Control Register (15-27) 4613 4614- CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM: 4615 SDRAM timing 4616 4617- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA: 4618 periodic timer for refresh 4619 4620- CONFIG_SYS_DER: Debug Event Register (37-47) 4621 4622- FLASH_BASE0_PRELIM, FLASH_BASE1_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_REMAP_OR_AM, 4623 CONFIG_SYS_PRELIM_OR_AM, CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_FLASH, CONFIG_SYS_OR0_REMAP, 4624 CONFIG_SYS_OR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR0_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_REMAP, CONFIG_SYS_OR1_PRELIM, 4625 CONFIG_SYS_BR1_PRELIM: 4626 Memory Controller Definitions: BR0/1 and OR0/1 (FLASH) 4627 4628- SDRAM_BASE2_PRELIM, SDRAM_BASE3_PRELIM, SDRAM_MAX_SIZE, 4629 CONFIG_SYS_OR_TIMING_SDRAM, CONFIG_SYS_OR2_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR2_PRELIM, 4630 CONFIG_SYS_OR3_PRELIM, CONFIG_SYS_BR3_PRELIM: 4631 Memory Controller Definitions: BR2/3 and OR2/3 (SDRAM) 4632 4633- CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_PTA, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_4K, CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_2BK_8K, 4634 CONFIG_SYS_MPTPR_1BK_8K, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_8COL, CONFIG_SYS_MAMR_9COL: 4635 Machine Mode Register and Memory Periodic Timer 4636 Prescaler definitions (SDRAM timing) 4637 4638- CONFIG_SYS_I2C_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4639 enable I2C microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4640 define relocation offset in DPRAM [DSP2] 4641 4642- CONFIG_SYS_SMC_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SMC_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4643 enable SMC microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4644 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SMC1] 4645 4646- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_UCODE_PATCH, CONFIG_SYS_SPI_DPMEM_OFFSET [0x1FC0]: 4647 enable SPI microcode relocation patch (MPC8xx); 4648 define relocation offset in DPRAM [SCC4] 4649 4650- CONFIG_SYS_USE_OSCCLK: 4651 Use OSCM clock mode on MBX8xx board. Be careful, 4652 wrong setting might damage your board. Read 4653 doc/README.MBX before setting this variable! 4654 4655- CONFIG_SYS_CPM_POST_WORD_ADDR: (MPC8xx, MPC8260 only) 4656 Offset of the bootmode word in DPRAM used by post 4657 (Power On Self Tests). This definition overrides 4658 #define'd default value in commproc.h resp. 4659 cpm_8260.h. 4660 4661- CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_SLV_MEM_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_PICMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4662 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR0_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK0_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR1_LOCAL, 4663 CONFIG_SYS_PCIMSK1_MASK, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_BUS, 4664 CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_MEM_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEM_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR0_MASK_ATTRIB, 4665 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_LOCAL, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_BUS, CPU_PCI_MEMIO_START, 4666 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_MEMIO_SIZE, CONFIG_SYS_POCMR1_MASK_ATTRIB, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_LOCAL, 4667 CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_BUS, CONFIG_SYS_CPU_PCI_IO_START, CONFIG_SYS_PCI_MSTR_IO_SIZE, 4668 CONFIG_SYS_POCMR2_MASK_ATTRIB: (MPC826x only) 4669 Overrides the default PCI memory map in arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8260/pci.c if set. 4670 4671- CONFIG_PCI_DISABLE_PCIE: 4672 Disable PCI-Express on systems where it is supported but not 4673 required. 4674 4675- CONFIG_PCI_ENUM_ONLY 4676 Only scan through and get the devices on the busses. 4677 Don't do any setup work, presumably because someone or 4678 something has already done it, and we don't need to do it 4679 a second time. Useful for platforms that are pre-booted 4680 by coreboot or similar. 4681 4682- CONFIG_PCI_INDIRECT_BRIDGE: 4683 Enable support for indirect PCI bridges. 4684 4685- CONFIG_SYS_SRIO: 4686 Chip has SRIO or not 4687 4688- CONFIG_SRIO1: 4689 Board has SRIO 1 port available 4690 4691- CONFIG_SRIO2: 4692 Board has SRIO 2 port available 4693 4694- CONFIG_SRIO_PCIE_BOOT_MASTER 4695 Board can support master function for Boot from SRIO and PCIE 4696 4697- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_VIRT: 4698 Virtual Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4699 4700- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_PHYS: 4701 Physical Address of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4702 4703- CONFIG_SYS_SRIOn_MEM_SIZE: 4704 Size of SRIO port 'n' memory region 4705 4706- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_BUSWIDTH_16BIT 4707 Defined to tell the NAND controller that the NAND chip is using 4708 a 16 bit bus. 4709 Not all NAND drivers use this symbol. 4710 Example of drivers that use it: 4711 - drivers/mtd/nand/ndfc.c 4712 - drivers/mtd/nand/mxc_nand.c 4713 4714- CONFIG_SYS_NDFC_EBC0_CFG 4715 Sets the EBC0_CFG register for the NDFC. If not defined 4716 a default value will be used. 4717 4718- CONFIG_SPD_EEPROM 4719 Get DDR timing information from an I2C EEPROM. Common 4720 with pluggable memory modules such as SODIMMs 4721 4722 SPD_EEPROM_ADDRESS 4723 I2C address of the SPD EEPROM 4724 4725- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM 4726 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first 4727 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve 4728 to something your driver can deal with. 4729 4730- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING 4731 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with 4732 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing 4733 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into 4734 header files or board specific files. 4735 4736- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE 4737 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr. 4738 4739- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0 4740 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should 4741 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3. 4742 4743- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12] 4744 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor. 4745 4746- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY 4747 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds 4748 to the given FEC; i. e. 4749 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4 4750 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1 4751 4752 When set to -1, means to probe for first available. 4753 4754- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR 4755 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only). 4756 (so program the FEC to ignore it). 4757 4758- CONFIG_RMII 4759 Enable RMII mode for all FECs. 4760 Note that this is a global option, we can't 4761 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode. 4762 4763- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY 4764 Add a verify option to the crc32 command. 4765 The syntax is: 4766 4767 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32> 4768 4769 Where address/count indicate a memory area 4770 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the 4771 area should have. 4772 4773- CONFIG_LOOPW 4774 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if 4775 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4776 4777- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC 4778 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic 4779 "md/mw" commands. 4780 Examples: 4781 4782 => mdc.b 10 4 500 4783 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms. 4784 4785 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10 4786 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms. 4787 4788 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated 4789 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM). 4790 4791- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT 4792 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain 4793 low level initializations (like setting up the memory 4794 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not 4795 relocate itself into RAM. 4796 4797 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only 4798 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some 4799 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs 4800 these initializations itself. 4801 4802- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD 4803 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4804 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when 4805 compiling a NAND SPL. 4806 4807- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD 4808 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader 4809 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot. 4810 It is loaded by the SPL. 4811 4812- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC 4813 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section 4814 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the 4815 previous 4k of the .text section. 4816 4817- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM 4818 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses 4819 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard 4820 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated 4821 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since 4822 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all 4823 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses 4824 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem(). 4825 4826- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY 4827 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET 4828 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will 4829 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some 4830 conditions but may increase the binary size. 4831 4832- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR 4833 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not 4834 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot. 4835 4836- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK 4837 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz). 4838 4839 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms. 4840 4841- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC: 4842 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms 4843 4844- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE 4845 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver 4846 driver that uses this: 4847 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c 4848 4849Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support: 4850----------------------------------- 4851 4852The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the 4853loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format. 4854This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4855are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4856within that device. 4857 4858- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR 4859 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The 4860 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4861 is also specified. 4862 4863- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR 4864 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The 4865 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro 4866 is also specified. 4867 4868- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH 4869 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4870 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4871 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4872 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4873 4874- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR 4875 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4876 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the 4877 virtual address in NOR flash. 4878 4879- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND 4880 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash. 4881 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash. 4882 4883- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC 4884 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC 4885 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4886 4887- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH 4888 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI 4889 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device. 4890 4891- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE 4892 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master) 4893 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which 4894 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound 4895 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in 4896 master's memory space. 4897 4898Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support: 4899--------------------------------------------------------- 4900The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of 4901"firmware". 4902This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros 4903are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address 4904within that device. 4905 4906- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET 4907 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs. 4908 4909- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR 4910 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The 4911 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro 4912 is also specified. 4913 4914- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH 4915 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format 4916 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it 4917 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some 4918 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first. 4919 4920- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR 4921 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as 4922 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the 4923 virtual address in NOR flash. 4924 4925Building the Software: 4926====================== 4927 4928Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments 4929and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support 4930all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all 4931(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we 4932recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK) 4933which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot. 4934 4935If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you 4936have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case, 4937you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell. 4938Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are 4939necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter: 4940 4941 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx- 4942 $ export CROSS_COMPILE 4943 4944Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in 4945 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain 4946 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW 4947 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example: 4948 4949 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools 4950 4951 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can 4952 be executed on computers running Windows. 4953 4954U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the 4955sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This 4956is done by typing: 4957 4958 make NAME_defconfig 4959 4960where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu- 4961rations; see boards.cfg for supported names. 4962 4963Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if 4964 additional information is available from the board vendor; for 4965 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard) 4966 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features" 4967 when choosing the configuration, i. e. 4968 4969 make TQM823L_defconfig 4970 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support 4971 4972 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig 4973 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD 4974 4975 etc. 4976 4977 4978Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot 4979images ready for download to / installation on your system: 4980 4981- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image 4982- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format 4983- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format 4984 4985By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved 4986in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change 4987this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory: 4988 49891. Add O= to the make command line invocations: 4990 4991 make O=/tmp/build distclean 4992 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig 4993 make O=/tmp/build all 4994 49952. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location: 4996 4997 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 4998 make distclean 4999 make NAME_defconfig 5000 make all 5001 5002Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment 5003variable. 5004 5005 5006Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so 5007for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of 5008native "make". 5009 5010 5011If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need 5012to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these 5013steps: 5014 50151. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel 5016 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples. 5017 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order. 50182. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any 5019 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least 5020 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds". 50213. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for 5022 your board 50233. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new 5024 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need. 50254. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name. 50265. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file 5027 to be installed on your target system. 50286. Debug and solve any problems that might arise. 5029 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.] 5030 5031 5032Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.: 5033============================================================== 5034 5035If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board 5036or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to 5037provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes 5038the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest 5039official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources. 5040 5041But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi- 5042cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of 5043the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so, 5044just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot 5045for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can 5046select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE' 5047environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools 5048you can type 5049 5050 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5051 5052or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type 5053 5054 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL 5055 5056When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build 5057U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by 5058setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target 5059built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and 5060<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default 5061location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment 5062variable. For example: 5063 5064 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build 5065 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log 5066 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL 5067 5068With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build, 5069log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean 5070during the whole build process. 5071 5072 5073See also "U-Boot Porting Guide" below. 5074 5075 5076Monitor Commands - Overview: 5077============================ 5078 5079go - start application at address 'addr' 5080run - run commands in an environment variable 5081bootm - boot application image from memory 5082bootp - boot image via network using BootP/TFTP protocol 5083bootz - boot zImage from memory 5084tftpboot- boot image via network using TFTP protocol 5085 and env variables "ipaddr" and "serverip" 5086 (and eventually "gatewayip") 5087tftpput - upload a file via network using TFTP protocol 5088rarpboot- boot image via network using RARP/TFTP protocol 5089diskboot- boot from IDE devicebootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' 5090loads - load S-Record file over serial line 5091loadb - load binary file over serial line (kermit mode) 5092md - memory display 5093mm - memory modify (auto-incrementing) 5094nm - memory modify (constant address) 5095mw - memory write (fill) 5096cp - memory copy 5097cmp - memory compare 5098crc32 - checksum calculation 5099i2c - I2C sub-system 5100sspi - SPI utility commands 5101base - print or set address offset 5102printenv- print environment variables 5103setenv - set environment variables 5104saveenv - save environment variables to persistent storage 5105protect - enable or disable FLASH write protection 5106erase - erase FLASH memory 5107flinfo - print FLASH memory information 5108nand - NAND memory operations (see doc/README.nand) 5109bdinfo - print Board Info structure 5110iminfo - print header information for application image 5111coninfo - print console devices and informations 5112ide - IDE sub-system 5113loop - infinite loop on address range 5114loopw - infinite write loop on address range 5115mtest - simple RAM test 5116icache - enable or disable instruction cache 5117dcache - enable or disable data cache 5118reset - Perform RESET of the CPU 5119echo - echo args to console 5120version - print monitor version 5121help - print online help 5122? - alias for 'help' 5123 5124 5125Monitor Commands - Detailed Description: 5126======================================== 5127 5128TODO. 5129 5130For now: just type "help <command>". 5131 5132 5133Environment Variables: 5134====================== 5135 5136U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which 5137can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory. 5138 5139Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using 5140"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv" 5141without a value can be used to delete a variable from the 5142environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are 5143working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the 5144environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided. 5145 5146Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables. 5147 5148List of environment variables (most likely not complete): 5149 5150 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE 5151 5152 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 5153 5154 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND 5155 5156 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image 5157 5158 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP 5159 5160 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5161 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5162 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed 5163 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size" 5164 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is 5165 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux 5166 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and 5167 bootm_mapsize. 5168 5169 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel. 5170 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it 5171 defines the size of the memory region starting at base 5172 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel 5173 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used 5174 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is 5175 used otherwise. 5176 5177 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm 5178 command can be restricted. This variable is given as 5179 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region 5180 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low" 5181 environment variable. 5182 5183 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used 5184 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to 5185 documentation in doc/README.update for more details. 5186 5187 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), 5188 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the 5189 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to 5190 load any image using TFTP 5191 5192 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp", 5193 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will 5194 be automatically started (by internally calling 5195 "bootm") 5196 5197 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the 5198 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address 5199 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started. 5200 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary 5201 data. 5202 5203 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the 5204 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot. 5205 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory 5206 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel 5207 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you 5208 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the 5209 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address 5210 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can 5211 access it during the boot procedure. 5212 5213 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then 5214 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this 5215 to work it must reside in writable memory, have 5216 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to 5217 add the information it needs into it, and the memory 5218 must be accessible by the kernel. 5219 5220 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened 5221 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is 5222 defined. 5223 5224 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only) 5225 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast 5226 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in 5227 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective 5228 it must be saved and board must be reset. 5229 5230 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images: 5231 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be 5232 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this 5233 is usually what you want since it allows for 5234 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to 5235 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the 5236 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment 5237 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0". 5238 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper 5239 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it 5240 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data). 5241 5242 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB 5243 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux, 5244 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of 5245 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make 5246 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first 5247 12 MB as well - this can be done with 5248 5249 setenv initrd_high 00c00000 5250 5251 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an 5252 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal 5253 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash 5254 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the 5255 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the 5256 boot time on your system, but requires that this 5257 feature is supported by your Linux kernel. 5258 5259 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5260 5261 loadaddr - Default load address for commands like "bootp", 5262 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot" 5263 5264 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO 5265 5266 serverip - TFTP server IP address; needed for tftpboot command 5267 5268 bootretry - see CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME 5269 5270 bootdelaykey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR 5271 5272 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR 5273 5274 ethprime - controls which interface is used first. 5275 5276 ethact - controls which interface is currently active. 5277 For example you can do the following 5278 5279 => setenv ethact FEC 5280 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC 5281 => setenv ethact SCC 5282 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC 5283 5284 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all 5285 available network interfaces. 5286 It just stays at the currently selected interface. 5287 5288 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will 5289 either succeed or fail without retrying. 5290 When set to "once" the network operation will 5291 fail when all the available network interfaces 5292 are tried once without success. 5293 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation 5294 themselves. 5295 5296 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode 5297 5298 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by 5299 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be 5300 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If 5301 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console 5302 is silent. 5303 5304 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's 5305 UDP source port. 5306 5307 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP 5308 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69. 5309 5310 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set, 5311 we use the TFTP server's default block size 5312 5313 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli- 5314 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines 5315 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to 5316 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds. 5317 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed 5318 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or 5319 with unreliable TFTP servers. 5320 5321 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over 5322 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q 5323 VLAN tagged frames. 5324 5325The following image location variables contain the location of images 5326used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is 5327not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment 5328variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP 5329server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be 5330loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR 5331flash or offset in NAND flash. 5332 5333*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some 5334boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some 5335boards use these variables for other purposes. 5336 5337Image File Name RAM Address Flash Location 5338----- --------- ----------- -------------- 5339u-boot u-boot u-boot_addr_r u-boot_addr 5340Linux kernel bootfile kernel_addr_r kernel_addr 5341device tree blob fdtfile fdt_addr_r fdt_addr 5342ramdisk ramdiskfile ramdisk_addr_r ramdisk_addr 5343 5344The following environment variables may be used and automatically 5345updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"), 5346depending the information provided by your boot server: 5347 5348 bootfile - see above 5349 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server 5350 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server 5351 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use 5352 hostname - Target hostname 5353 ipaddr - see above 5354 netmask - Subnet Mask 5355 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server 5356 serverip - see above 5357 5358 5359There are two special Environment Variables: 5360 5361 serial# - contains hardware identification information such 5362 as type string and/or serial number 5363 ethaddr - Ethernet address 5364 5365These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of 5366the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables 5367once they have been set once. 5368 5369 5370Further special Environment Variables: 5371 5372 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed 5373 with the "version" command. This variable is 5374 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE). 5375 5376 5377Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take 5378only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-). 5379 5380 5381Callback functions for environment variables: 5382--------------------------------------------- 5383 5384For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change 5385when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to 5386be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or 5387deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side 5388effect to happen or for the change to be rejected. 5389 5390The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the 5391U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code. 5392 5393These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The 5394static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC 5395in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of 5396associations. The list must be in the following format: 5397 5398 entry = variable_name[:callback_name] 5399 list = entry[,list] 5400 5401If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted. 5402Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list. 5403 5404Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable 5405with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will 5406override any association in the static list. You can define 5407CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the 5408".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment. 5409 5410 5411Command Line Parsing: 5412===================== 5413 5414There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot: 5415the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell: 5416 5417Old, simple command line parser: 5418-------------------------------- 5419 5420- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands) 5421- several commands on one line, separated by ';' 5422- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax 5423- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\', 5424 for example: 5425 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address} 5426- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example: 5427 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off' 5428 5429Hush shell: 5430----------- 5431 5432- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like 5433 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done, 5434 until...do...done, ... 5435- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv 5436 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax 5437 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run" 5438 command 5439 5440General rules: 5441-------------- 5442 5443(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run" 5444 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and 5445 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be 5446 executed anyway. 5447 5448(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e. 5449 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing 5450 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining 5451 variables are not executed. 5452 5453Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces: 5454======================================= 5455 5456Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports 5457such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a 5458"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows: 5459 5460Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding 5461MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0), 5462"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ... 5463 5464If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance 5465in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon- 5466ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment 5467variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means: 5468 5469o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the 5470 environment, the SROM's address is used. 5471 5472o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the 5473 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is 5474 used. 5475 5476o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and 5477 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used. 5478 5479o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the 5480 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a 5481 warning is printed. 5482 5483o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error 5484 is raised. 5485 5486If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses 5487will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This 5488may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable. 5489The naming convention is as follows: 5490"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc. 5491 5492Image Formats: 5493============== 5494 5495U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on) 5496images in two formats: 5497 5498New uImage format (FIT) 5499----------------------- 5500 5501Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar 5502to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple 5503components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by 5504SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory. 5505 5506 5507Old uImage format 5508----------------- 5509 5510Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything, 5511preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for 5512details; basically, the header defines the following image properties: 5513 5514* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, 5515 4.4BSD, Linux, SVR4, Esix, Solaris, Irix, SCO, Dell, NCR, VxWorks, 5516 LynxOS, pSOS, QNX, RTEMS, INTEGRITY; 5517 Currently supported: Linux, NetBSD, VxWorks, QNX, RTEMS, LynxOS, 5518 INTEGRITY). 5519* Target CPU Architecture (Provisions for Alpha, ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, 5520 IA64, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC, IBM S390, SuperH, Sparc, Sparc 64 Bit; 5521 Currently supported: ARM, AVR32, Intel x86, MIPS, NDS32, Nios II, PowerPC). 5522* Compression Type (uncompressed, gzip, bzip2) 5523* Load Address 5524* Entry Point 5525* Image Name 5526* Image Timestamp 5527 5528The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header 5529and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by 5530CRC32 checksums. 5531 5532 5533Linux Support: 5534============== 5535 5536Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application 5537easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of 5538U-Boot. 5539 5540U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some 5541special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any 5542"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image; 5543instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation 5544serves several purposes: 5545 5546- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone 5547 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the 5548 Flash memory footprint) 5549 5550- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because 5551 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot 5552 5553- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd" 5554 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can 5555 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't 5556 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just 5557 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the 5558 software is easier now. 5559 5560 5561Linux HOWTO: 5562============ 5563 5564Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems: 5565--------------------------------------- 5566 5567U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to 5568configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware 5569(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to 5570Linux :-). 5571 5572But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot). 5573 5574Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance 5575include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board 5576Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h, 5577and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value 5578as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR. 5579 5580Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers. 5581If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there 5582is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See 5583doc/driver-model. 5584 5585 5586Configuring the Linux kernel: 5587----------------------------- 5588 5589No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root 5590device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system. 5591 5592 5593Building a Linux Image: 5594----------------------- 5595 5596With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are 5597not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target 5598"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by 5599U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target, 5600which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a 5601100% compatible format. 5602 5603Example: 5604 5605 make TQM850L_defconfig 5606 make oldconfig 5607 make dep 5608 make uImage 5609 5610The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to 5611encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information, 5612CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing: 5613 5614* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format): 5615 5616* convert the kernel into a raw binary image: 5617 5618 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \ 5619 -R .note -R .comment \ 5620 -S vmlinux linux.bin 5621 5622* compress the binary image: 5623 5624 gzip -9 linux.bin 5625 5626* package compressed binary image for U-Boot: 5627 5628 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \ 5629 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \ 5630 -d linux.bin.gz uImage 5631 5632 5633The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use 5634with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or 5635combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64 5636byte header containing information about target architecture, 5637operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time 5638stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc. 5639 5640"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and 5641print the header information, or to build new images. 5642 5643In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information 5644contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes 5645checksum verification: 5646 5647 tools/mkimage -l image 5648 -l ==> list image header information 5649 5650The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image 5651from a "data file" which is used as image payload: 5652 5653 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \ 5654 -n name -d data_file image 5655 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch' 5656 -O ==> set operating system to 'os' 5657 -T ==> set image type to 'type' 5658 -C ==> set compression type 'comp' 5659 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex) 5660 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex) 5661 -n ==> set image name to 'name' 5662 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile' 5663 5664Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load 5665address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the 5666kernel version: 5667 5668- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C, 5669- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000. 5670 5671So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read: 5672 5673 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5674 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 \ 5675 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz \ 5676 > examples/uImage.TQM850L 5677 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5678 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5679 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5680 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5681 Load Address: 0x00000000 5682 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5683 5684To verify the contents of the image (or check for corruption): 5685 5686 -> tools/mkimage -l examples/uImage.TQM850L 5687 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5688 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5689 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (gzip compressed) 5690 Data Size: 335725 Bytes = 327.86 kB = 0.32 MB 5691 Load Address: 0x00000000 5692 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5693 5694NOTE: for embedded systems where boot time is critical you can trade 5695speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this 5696needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not 5697need to be uncompressed: 5698 5699 -> gunzip /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux.gz 5700 -> tools/mkimage -n '2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L' \ 5701 > -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0 -e 0 \ 5702 > -d /opt/elsk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/linux-2.4.4/arch/powerpc/coffboot/vmlinux \ 5703 > examples/uImage.TQM850L-uncompressed 5704 Image Name: 2.4.4 kernel for TQM850L 5705 Created: Wed Jul 19 02:34:59 2000 5706 Image Type: PowerPC Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed) 5707 Data Size: 792160 Bytes = 773.59 kB = 0.76 MB 5708 Load Address: 0x00000000 5709 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5710 5711 5712Similar you can build U-Boot images from a 'ramdisk.image.gz' file 5713when your kernel is intended to use an initial ramdisk: 5714 5715 -> tools/mkimage -n 'Simple Ramdisk Image' \ 5716 > -A ppc -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip \ 5717 > -d /LinuxPPC/images/SIMPLE-ramdisk.image.gz examples/simple-initrd 5718 Image Name: Simple Ramdisk Image 5719 Created: Wed Jan 12 14:01:50 2000 5720 Image Type: PowerPC Linux RAMDisk Image (gzip compressed) 5721 Data Size: 566530 Bytes = 553.25 kB = 0.54 MB 5722 Load Address: 0x00000000 5723 Entry Point: 0x00000000 5724 5725The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i" 5726option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d" 5727option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file" 5728from the image: 5729 5730 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file 5731 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file', \ 5732 indexed by 'position' 5733 5734 5735Installing a Linux Image: 5736------------------------- 5737 5738To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface, 5739you must convert the image to S-Record format: 5740 5741 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec 5742 5743The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot 5744image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to 5745address 0x00000000.

Usually these programs 5926 will install their own set of exception handlers, device 5927 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot 5928 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU. 5929 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their 5930 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is 5931 being started. 5932 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS 5933 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like 5934 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want 5935 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot 5936 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get 5937 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image. 5938 5939 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each 5940 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network 5941 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0". 5942 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by 5943 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to 5944 a multiple of 4 bytes). 5945 5946 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like 5947 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to 5948 flash memory. 5949 5950 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by 5951 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially 5952 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush) 5953 as command interpreter. 5954 5955Booting the Linux zImage: 5956------------------------- 5957 5958On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done 5959using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same 5960as the syntax of "bootm" command. 5961 5962Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply 5963kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the 5964address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following 5965format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>". 5966 5967 5968Standalone HOWTO: 5969================= 5970 5971One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and 5972run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of 5973U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services. 5974 5975Two simple examples are included with the sources: 5976 5977"Hello World" Demo: 5978------------------- 5979 5980'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo 5981application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot. 5982It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it 5983like that: 5984 5985 => loads 5986 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 5987 ~>examples/hello_world.srec 5988 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 5989 [file transfer complete] 5990 [connected] 5991 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 5992 5993 => go 40004 Hello World!

The application can be 6014controlled by the following keys: 6015 6016 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers 6017 b - enable interrupts and start timer 6018 e - stop timer and disable interrupts 6019 q - quit application 6020 6021 => loads 6022 ## Ready for S-Record download ... 6023 ~>examples/timer.srec 6024 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ... 6025 [file transfer complete] 6026 [connected] 6027 ## Start Addr = 0x00040004 6028 6029 => go 40004 6030 ## Starting application at 0x00040004 ... 6031 TIMERS=0xfff00980 6032 Using timer 1 6033 tgcr @ 0xfff00980, tmr @ 0xfff00990, trr @ 0xfff00994, tcr @ 0xfff00998, tcn @ 0xfff0099c, ter @ 0xfff009b0 6034 6035Hit 'b': 6036 [q, b, e, ?] Set interval 1000000 us 6037 Enabling timer 6038Hit '?': 6039 [q, b, e, ?] ........ 6040 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0xef6, ter=0x0 6041Hit '?': 6042 [q, b, e, ?] . 6043 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x2ad4, ter=0x0 6044Hit '?': 6045 [q, b, e, ?] . 6046 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x1efc, ter=0x0 6047Hit '?': 6048 [q, b, e, ?] . 6049 tgcr=0x1, tmr=0xff1c, trr=0x3d09, tcr=0x0, tcn=0x169d, ter=0x0 6050Hit 'e': 6051 [q, b, e, ?] ...Stopping timer 6052Hit 'q': 6053 [q, b, e, ?] ## Application terminated, rc = 0x0 6054 6055 6056Minicom warning: 6057================ 6058 6059Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the 6060"minicom" terminal emulation program for serial download. I (wd) 6061consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under 6062Unix, I recommend to use C-Kermit for general purpose use (and 6063especially for kermit binary protocol download ("loadb" command), and 6064use "cu" for S-Record download ("loads" command). See 6065http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/SystemSetup#Section_4.3. 6066for help with kermit. 6067 6068 6069Nevertheless, if you absolutely want to use it try adding this 6070configuration to your "File transfer protocols" section: 6071 6072 Name Program Name U/D FullScr IO-Red.

This file has to be installed and patched manually: 6089 6090 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include 6091 # mkdir powerpc 6092 # ln -s powerpc machine 6093 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h 6094 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST 6095 6096Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native 6097and U-Boot include files. 6098 6099Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a 6100stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel 6101proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source 6102tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the 6103meantime, see ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/u-boot/ppcboot_stage2.tar.gz 6104 6105 6106Implementation Internals: 6107========================= 6108 6109The following is not intended to be a complete description of every 6110implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the 6111inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom 6112hardware. 6113 6114 6115Initial Stack, Global Data: 6116--------------------------- 6117 6118The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot 6119starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to 6120system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet). 6121This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS 6122is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working 6123at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation 6124options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU 6125models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and 6126MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be 6127locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc. 6128 6129 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the 6130 U-Boot mailing list: 6131 6132 Subject: RE: [U-Boot-Users] RE: More On Memory Bank x (nothingness)? 6133 From: "Chris Hallinan" <clh@net1plus.com> 6134 Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 16:43:46 -0500 (22:43 MET) 6135 ... 6136 6137 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it 6138 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not 6139 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness 6140 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of 6141 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's 6142 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you 6143 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and 6144 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals. 6145 6146 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It 6147 is another option for the system designer to use as an 6148 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either 6149 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your 6150 board designers haven't used it for something that would 6151 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not 6152 used. 6153 6154 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere 6155 with your processor/board/system design. The default value 6156 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in 6157 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger 6158 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set 6159 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources 6160 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in 6161 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when 6162 you get the config right. 6163 6164 -Chris Hallinan 6165 DS4.COM, Inc. 6166 6167It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C 6168code for the initialization procedures: 6169 6170* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt 6171 to write it. 6172 6173* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized 6174 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali- 6175 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM). 6176 6177* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like 6178 that. 6179 6180Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use 6181normal global data to share information beween the code. But it 6182turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly 6183simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all 6184functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_ 6185functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of 6186the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we 6187place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we 6188reserve for this purpose. 6189 6190When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the 6191relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by 6192GCC's implementation. 6193 6194For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use: 6195 R1: stack pointer 6196 R2: reserved for system use 6197 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values 6198 R5-R10: parameter passing 6199 R13: small data area pointer 6200 R30: GOT pointer 6201 R31: frame pointer 6202 6203 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12 6204 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when 6205 going back and forth between asm and C) 6206 6207 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data 6208 6209 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the 6210 address of the global data structure is known at compile time), 6211 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat 6212 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on 6213 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image, 6214 624 text + 127 data). 6215 6216On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here: 6217 http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=application_binary_interface 6218 6219 ==> U-Boot will use P3 to hold a pointer to the global data 6220 6221On ARM, the following registers are used: 6222 6223 R0: function argument word/integer result 6224 R1-R3: function argument word 6225 R9: platform specific 6226 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled) 6227 R11: argument (frame) pointer 6228 R12: temporary workspace 6229 R13: stack pointer 6230 R14: link register 6231 R15: program counter 6232 6233 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data 6234 6235 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported. 6236 6237On Nios II, the ABI is documented here: 6238 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf 6239 6240 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data 6241 6242 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp 6243 to access small data sections, so gp is free. 6244 6245On NDS32, the following registers are used: 6246 6247 R0-R1: argument/return 6248 R2-R5: argument 6249 R15: temporary register for assembler 6250 R16: trampoline register 6251 R28: frame pointer (FP) 6252 R29: global pointer (GP) 6253 R30: link register (LP) 6254 R31: stack pointer (SP) 6255 PC: program counter (PC) 6256 6257 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data 6258 6259NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope, 6260or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much. 6261 6262Memory Management: 6263------------------ 6264 6265U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the 6266MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection. 6267 6268The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory 6269controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each 6270memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several 6271physical memory banks. 6272 6273U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on 6274TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After 6275booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself 6276to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some 6277memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN 6278configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board 6279Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward). 6280 6281Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB 6282of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF). 6283 6284So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like 6285this: 6286 6287 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code 6288 : 6289 0x0000 1FFF 6290 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use 6291 : 6292 : 6293 6294 : 6295 : 6296 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward) 6297 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data 6298 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena 6299 : 6300 0x00FD FFFF 6301 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code 6302 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer 6303 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset) 6304 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM] 6305 6306 6307System Initialization: 6308---------------------- 6309 6310In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point 6311(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset 6312configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory. 6313To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address. 6314To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!) 6315initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs 6316which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked 6317part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core, 6318the caches and the SIU. 6319 6320Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a 6321preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries 6322(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash 6323on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is 6324programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a 6325simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM 6326banks. 6327 6328When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of 6329different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first 6330bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address 63310x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create 6332contiguous memory starting from 0. 6333 6334Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area 6335and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board 6336Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM 6337pages, and the final stack is set up. 6338 6339Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment; 6340until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are 6341running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a 6342new address in RAM. 6343 6344 6345U-Boot Porting Guide: 6346---------------------- 6347 6348[Based on messages by Jerry Van Baren in the U-Boot-Users mailing 6349list, October 2002] 6350 6351 6352int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 6353{ 6354 sighandler_t no_more_time; 6355 6356 signal(SIGALRM, no_more_time); 6357 alarm(PROJECT_DEADLINE - toSec (3 * WEEK)); 6358 6359 if (available_money > available_manpower) { 6360 Pay consultant to port U-Boot; 6361 return 0; 6362 } 6363 6364 Download latest U-Boot source; 6365 6366 Subscribe to u-boot mailing list; 6367 6368 if (clueless) 6369 email("Hi, I am new to U-Boot, how do I get started?"); 6370 6371 while (learning) { 6372 Read the README file in the top level directory; 6373 Read http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/Manual; 6374 Read applicable doc/*.README; 6375 Read the source, Luke; 6376 /* find . -name "*.[chS]" | xargs grep -i <keyword> */ 6377 } 6378 6379 if (available_money > toLocalCurrency ($2500)) 6380 Buy a BDI3000; 6381 else 6382 Add a lot of aggravation and time; 6383 6384 if (a similar board exists) { /* hopefully... */ 6385 cp -a board/<similar> board/<myboard> 6386 cp include/configs/<similar>.h include/configs/<myboard>.h 6387 } else { 6388 Create your own board support subdirectory; 6389 Create your own board include/configs/<myboard>.h file; 6390 } 6391 Edit new board/<myboard> files 6392 Edit new include/configs/<myboard>.h 6393 6394 while (!accepted) { 6395 while (!running) { 6396 do { 6397 Add / modify source code; 6398 } until (compiles); 6399 Debug; 6400 if (clueless) 6401 email("Hi, I am having problems..."); 6402 } 6403 Send patch file to the U-Boot email list; 6404 if (reasonable critiques) 6405 Incorporate improvements from email list code review; 6406 else 6407 Defend code as written; 6408 } 6409 6410 return 0; 6411} 6412 6413void no_more_time (int sig) 6414{ 6415 hire_a_guru(); 6416} 6417 6418 6419Coding Standards: 6420----------------- 6421 6422All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel 6423coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script 6424"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. 6425 6426Source files originating from a different project (for example the 6427MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not 6428reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those 6429sources. 6430 6431Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in 6432Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//) 6433in your code. 6434 6435Please also stick to the following formatting rules: 6436- remove any trailing white space 6437- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces 6438- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds 6439- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files 6440- do not add trailing empty lines to source files 6441 6442Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned 6443with a request to reformat the changes. 6444 6445 6446Submitting Patches: 6447------------------- 6448 6449Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to 6450establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules 6451may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff. 6452 6453Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details. 6454 6455Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>; 6456see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot 6457 6458When you send a patch, please include the following information with 6459it: 6460 6461* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes 6462 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the 6463 patch actually fixes something. 6464 6465* For new features: a description of the feature and your 6466 implementation. 6467 6468* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch) 6469 6470* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file 6471 6472* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a 6473 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too. 6474 6475* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to 6476 document these in the README file. 6477 6478* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly* 6479 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the 6480 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to 6481 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems 6482 with some other mail clients. 6483 6484 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of 6485 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of 6486 GNU diff. 6487 6488 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent 6489 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that 6490 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the 6491 affected files). 6492 6493 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged, 6494 and compressed attachments must not be used. 6495 6496* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several 6497 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file. 6498 6499* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be 6500 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset. 6501 6502 6503Notes: 6504 6505* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched 6506 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported 6507 for any of the boards. 6508 6509* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch 6510 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be 6511 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it. 6512 6513* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not 6514 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful! 6515 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only 6516 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature 6517 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your 6518 modification. 6519 6520* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the 6521 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are 6522 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches 6523 bigger than the size limit should be avoided. 6524
