wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000011This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenke86e5a02004-10-17 21:12:06 +000012Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
13processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
14initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
15code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000016
17The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000018the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
19header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000020support booting of Linux images.
21
22Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
23configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
24implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
25add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
26code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
27load and run it dynamically.

30Status:
31=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000035"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -050037In case of problems see the CHANGELOG file to find out who contributed
38the specific port. In addition, there are various MAINTAINERS files
39scattered throughout the U-Boot source identifying the people or
40companies responsible for various boards and subsystems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000170Software Configuration:
171=======================
172
173Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
174rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
175
176There are two classes of configuration variables:
177
178* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
179 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
180 "CONFIG_".
181
182* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
183 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
184 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200185 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000186
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500187Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
188symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
189U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
190allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
191build.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000192
193
194Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
195---------------------------------------------------
196
197For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200198configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000199
200Example: For a TQM823L module type:
201
202 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200203 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000204
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500205Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
206you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
207doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000208
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600209Sandbox Environment:
210--------------------
211
212U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
213board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
214specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
215run some of U-Boot's tests.
216
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530217See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

219
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700220Board Initialisation Flow:
221--------------------------
222
223This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500224SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700225
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500226Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
227more detail later in this file.
228
229At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
230and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
231may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
232CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
233
234Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
235CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
236
237 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
238 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
239 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
240
241and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
242limitations of each of these functions are described below.
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700243
244lowlevel_init():
245 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
246 - no global_data or BSS
247 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
248 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
249 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
250 board_init_f()
251 - this is almost never needed
252 - return normally from this function
253
254board_init_f():
255 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
256 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
257 - global_data is available
258 - stack is in SRAM
259 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
260 only stack variables and global_data
261
262 Non-SPL-specific notes:
263 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
264 can do nothing
265
266 SPL-specific notes:
267 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
268 version as needed.
269 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
270 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
271 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
272 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
273 directly)
274
275Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
276this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
277CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
278memory.
279
280board_init_r():
281 - purpose: main execution, common code
282 - global_data is available
283 - SDRAM is available
284 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
285 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
286
287 Non-SPL-specific notes:
288 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
289 there.
290
291 SPL-specific notes:
292 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
293 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
294 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
295 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
296 spl_board_init() function containing this call
297 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
298

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000301Configuration Options:
302----------------------
303
304Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
305such information is kept in a configuration file
306"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
307
308Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
309"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
310
311
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000312Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
313kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
314build a config tool - later.
315
316
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000317The following options need to be configured:
318
Kim Phillips26281142007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500319- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000320
Kim Phillips26281142007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500321- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
Wolfgang Denk6ccec442006-10-24 14:42:37 +0200322
323- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
Haavard Skinnemoen09ea0de2007-11-01 12:44:20 +0100324 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000325
Lei Wencf946c62011-02-09 18:06:58 +0530326- Marvell Family Member
327 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
328 multiple fs option at one time
329 for marvell soc family
330
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200331- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
wdenk66ca92a2004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000332 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
333 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000334 e.g. if there is no 32KHz
335 reference PIT/RTC clock
wdenk66ca92a2004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000336 CONFIG_8xx_OSCLK - PLL input clock (either EXTCLK

610
611 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
612 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
613 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
614 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
615 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
616 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
617 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000618 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100619 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

662
663 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
664 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
665 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
666 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
667 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
668 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

Andreas Engel48d01922008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200702 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000703
704 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
705
Andreas Engel48d01922008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200706 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000707
708 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
709
710 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
711
712 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
713 the clock speed of the UARTs.
714
715 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
716
717 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
718 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
719 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
720
Karicheri, Muralidharand57dee52014-04-09 15:38:46 -0400721 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL
722
723 Define this variable to enable hw flow control in serial driver.
724 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000725
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000726- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000727 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
728 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
729 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
730 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000731
732 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
733 port routines must be defined elsewhere
734 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
735
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000736- Console Baudrate:
737 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
738 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200739 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
740 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000741
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100742- Console Rx buffer length
743 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
744 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100745 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100746 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
747 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
748 the SMC.
749
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000750- Autoboot Command:
751 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
752 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
753 define a command string that is automatically executed
754 when no character is read on the console interface
755 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
756
757 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000758 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
759 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
760 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000761
762 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000763 The value of these goes into the environment as
764 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
765 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200766 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000767
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100768- Bootcount:
769 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
770 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
771 cycle, see:
772 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
773
774 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
775 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
776 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
777 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
778 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
779 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
780 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
781 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
782 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
783
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000784- Pre-Boot Commands:
785 CONFIG_PREBOOT
786
787 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
788 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
789 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
790 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
791 entering interactive mode.
792
793 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
794 automatically generated or modified. For an example
795 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
796 modified when the user holds down a certain
797 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
798 booting the systems
799
800- Serial Download Echo Mode:
801 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
802 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
803 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
804 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
805 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
806 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
807 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
808
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500809- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000810 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
811 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200812 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000813
814- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500815 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
816 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000817 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
Joe Hershbergeref0f2f52015-06-22 16:15:30 -0500818 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000819

931 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET

Gerald Van Baren213bf8c2007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400933 Other Commands:
934 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000935
936 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500937 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000938 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
939 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
940 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
941 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
942 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
943 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000944
945
946 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
947
Simon Glass302a6482016-03-13 19:07:28 -0600948- Removal of commands
949 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
950 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
951 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
952 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
953 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
954 simple boot procedures.
955
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000956- Regular expression support:
957 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +0200958 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
959 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
960 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
961 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +0000962
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000963- Device tree:
964 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
965 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
966 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
967 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
968 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
969 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.

Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000971 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
972 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +0000973
974 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
975 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
976 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
977 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
978 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
979 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +0000980
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +0000981 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
982 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
983 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
984 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
985
986 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
987
988 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
989 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
990 still use the individual files if you need something more
991 exotic.
992
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000993- Watchdog:
994 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
995 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +0000996 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
997 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
998 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
999 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1000 available, then no further board specific code should
1001 be needed to use it.
1002
1003 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1004 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1005 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1006 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001007
Heiko Schocher7bae0d62015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001008 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT

1010
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001011- U-Boot Version:
1012 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1013 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1014 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1015 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001016 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1017 next reset.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001018
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001019- Real-Time Clock:

wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001040 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1041 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1042
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001043- GPIO Support:
1044 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001045
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001046 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1047 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1048 pins supported by a particular chip.
1049
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001050 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1051 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1052
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001053- I/O tracing:
1054 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1055 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1056 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1057 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1058 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1059 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1060 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1061 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1062
1063 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1064 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1065 still continue to operate.
1066
1067 iotrace is enabled
1068 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1069 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)

1076
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001077 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1078 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1079 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001080 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001081

1400 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1401 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1402 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1403 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1404 viewport is supported.
1405 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1406 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001407 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1408 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1409 the appropriate value in Hz.

1453 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1454 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1455 one that would help mostly the developer.
1456
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001457 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1458 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1459 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1460 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1461 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1462
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001463 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1464 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1465 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1466 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1467 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1468 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1469
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001470 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1471 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1472 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1473 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1474
1475 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1476 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1477 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1478 sending again an USB request to the device.

1516 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1517 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1518 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1519 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1520 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1521 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
Petr Kulhavy6f6c8632016-09-09 10:27:18 +02001522 The default is "gpt" if undefined.

1607
1608 CONFIG_SHARP_16x9
1609

1611 It isn't 16x9, and I am not sure what it is.
1612
1613 CONFIG_SHARP_LQ64D341

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001633 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1634
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001635 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001636 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1637 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1638 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1639 a per-section basis.
1640
1641
Hannes Petermaier604c7d42015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001642 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1643
1644 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1645 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1646 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1647 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1648 printed out.
1649 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1650 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1651 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1652 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1653 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1654 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1655 1 = 90 degree rotation
1656 2 = 180 degree rotation
1657 3 = 270 degree rotation
1658
1659 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1660 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1661
Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001662 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8
1663
1664 Support drawing of RLE8-compressed bitmaps on the LCD.
1665
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001666 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1667
1668 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1669 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1670
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001671- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001672
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001673 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1674 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1675 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001676 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001677 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1678 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1679 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1680 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001681
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001682 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1683
1684 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1685 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Fabio Estevamab5645f2016-03-23 12:46:12 -03001686 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001687 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1688 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1689 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1690 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1691 there is no need to set this option.
1692
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001693 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1694
1695 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1696 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1697 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1698 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1699 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1700 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1701
1702 Example:
1703 setenv splashpos m,m
1704 => image at center of screen
1705
1706 setenv splashpos 30,20
1707 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1708
1709 setenv splashpos -10,m
1710 => vertically centered image
1711 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1712
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001713- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1714
1715 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1716 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1717 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1718
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001719- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1720
1721 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1722 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1723 bmp command.
1724
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001725- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001726 CONFIG_GZIP
1727
1728 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1729
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001730 CONFIG_BZIP2
1731
1732 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1733 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1734 compressed images are supported.
1735
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001736 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001737 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001738 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001739
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001740 CONFIG_LZMA
1741
1742 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1743 images is included.
1744
1745 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1746 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1747 formula:
1748
1749 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1750
1751 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1752 and Literal pos bits.
1753
1754 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1755 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1756 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1757 a very small buffer.
1758
1759 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1760 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001761 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001762
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001763 CONFIG_LZO
1764
1765 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1766 is included.
1767
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001768- MII/PHY support:
1769 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
1770
1771 The address of PHY on MII bus.
1772
1773 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
1774
1775 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1776
1777 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1778
1779 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001780 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001781
1782 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1783
1784 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1785 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1786 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1787 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1788
1789 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1790
1791 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1792 command issued before MII status register can be read
1793
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001794- IP address:
1795 CONFIG_IPADDR
1796
1797 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001798 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001799 determined through e.g. bootp.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001801
1802- Server IP address:
1803 CONFIG_SERVERIP
1804
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001805 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001806 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001807 (Environment variable "serverip")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001808
Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04001809 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
1810
1811 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
1812 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1813
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00001814- Gateway IP address:
1815 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
1816
1817 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
1818 default router where packets to other networks are
1819 sent to.
1820 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
1821
1822- Subnet mask:
1823 CONFIG_NETMASK
1824
1825 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
1826 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
1827 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
1828 forwarded through a router.
1829 (Environment variable "netmask")
1830
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001831- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1832 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1833
1834 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1835 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001836 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001837 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1838 multicast group.
1839
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001840- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1841 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1842
1843 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1844 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1845 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1846 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1847 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1848 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1849 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1850 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001851 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001852
1853 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1854 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1855 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1856 4th and following
1857 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
1858
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02001859 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
1860
1861 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
1862 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
1863 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
1864 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
1865 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
1866 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
1867 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
1868 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
1869 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
1870 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
1871 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
1872 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
1873 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
1874 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
1875 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
1876
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001877- DHCP Advanced Options:
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001878 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
1879 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:

stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001894
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001895 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1896 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001897
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00001898 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
1899 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
1900 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
1901 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
1902 is not available.
1903
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001904 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1905 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1906 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1907 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1908 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1909 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1910 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001911 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001912
1913 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1914 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1915 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001916 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001917 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1918 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001920 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1921
1922 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1923 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1924 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1925 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1926 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1927 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1928 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1929 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1930 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1931 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1932 this delay.
1933
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00001934 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
1935 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
1936 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
1937 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
1938 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001985
1986 Several configurations allow to display the current
1987 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1988 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1989 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1990 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1991 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
Uri Mashiach79267ed2017-01-19 10:51:05 +02001992 kernel). Defining CONFIG_LED_STATUS enables this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001993 feature in U-Boot.
1994
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02001995 Additional options:
1996
Uri Mashiach79267ed2017-01-19 10:51:05 +02001997 CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02001998 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
1999 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
Uri Mashiach79267ed2017-01-19 10:51:05 +02002000 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_LED_STATUS_GPIO
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002001 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2002
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002003 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2004 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2005 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2006 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2007 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2008 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002010- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2011
2012 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2013 on those systems that support this (optional)
2014 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2204 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2205 provides the following compelling advantages:
2206
2207 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2208 - approved multibus support
2209 - better i2c mux support
2210
2211 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2212
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002213 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2214 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2215 for the selected CPU.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002224
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002225 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002226 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002227
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002228 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002229 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002230 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002231 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002232
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002233 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002234 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002235 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2236 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2237 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002238
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002239 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2240
2241 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2242 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2243 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2244 commands until the slave device responds.
2245
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002246 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002249 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are

2316
2317 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2318 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2319 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2320 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2321
2322 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2323 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002327 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2328 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2329 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2330 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2331 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2332 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2333 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2334 is run early in the boot sequence.

2337
2338 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2339 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2340 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2341 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2342 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2343 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2344 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2345 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002356 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2357 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.

2401 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2402 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2403 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2404 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2405 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2406 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2407 the other.

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002544 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002545
2546 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2547 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002548 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002549 these parameters.
2550
Joe Hershberger92ac5202015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002551 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2552 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002553 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002554 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2555 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2556 read-only.]
2557
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002558 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2559 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2560 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2561 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2562
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002563- Protected RAM:
2564 CONFIG_PRAM
2565
2566 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2567 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2568 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2569 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2570 this default value by defining an environment
2571 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2572 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2573 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2574 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2575 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2576 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2577 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2578
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002579 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002580 saveenv
2581
2582 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2583 either, which results in a memory region that will
2584 not be affected by reboots.
2585
2586 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2587 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2588 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2589 following board configurations are known to be
2590 "pRAM-clean":
2591
Wolfgang Denk1b0757e2012-10-24 02:36:15 +00002592 IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002595
Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002596- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2597 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2598 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2599 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2600 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2601 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2602 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2603
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002604- Error Recovery:
2605 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2606
2607 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2608 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2609 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002610 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002611 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2612 useful during development since you can try to debug
2613 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2614
2615 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2616
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002617 This variable defines the number of retries for
2618 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2619 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2620 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002621
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002622 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2623
2624 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2625
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002626 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2627
2628 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2629 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2630 try longer timeout such as
2631 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL
2632
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002633- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02002634 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00002635
2636 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2637
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002638 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002639
2640 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2641 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2642 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2643
2644 Note:
2645
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002646 In the current implementation, the local variables
2647 space and global environment variables space are
2648 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2649 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2650 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2651 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2652 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002653
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002654 Global environment variables are those you use
2655 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2656 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2657 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002658
2659 To store commands and special characters in a
2660 variable, please use double quotation marks
2661 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2662 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2663 symbols.
2664
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002665- Command Line Editing and History:
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002666 CONFIG_CMDLINE_EDITING
2667
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002668 Enable editing and History functions for interactive
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002669 command line input operations
Wolfgang Denkaa0c71a2006-07-21 11:35:21 +02002670
Marek Vasutf3b267b2016-01-27 04:47:55 +01002671- Command Line PS1/PS2 support:
2672 CONFIG_CMDLINE_PS_SUPPORT
2673
2674 Enable support for changing the command prompt string
2675 at run-time. Only static string is supported so far.
2676 The string is obtained from environment variables PS1
2677 and PS2.
2678
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002679- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002680 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2681
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002682 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2683 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002684 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002685
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002686 For example, place something like this in your
2687 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002688
2689 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2690 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2691 "myvar2=value2\0"
2692
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002693 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2694 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2695 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2696 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002697 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002698 You better know what you are doing here.
2699
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002700 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2701 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002702 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002703 boot command first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002704
Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002705 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2706
2707 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2708 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2709 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2710
2711 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2712
2713 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2714 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2715 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2716 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2717 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2718
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002719 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2720
2721 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2722 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2723 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2724
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002725 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2726
2727 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002728 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002729 that so that the environment is not available until
2730 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2731 this is instead controlled by the value of
2732 /config/load-environment.
2733
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002734- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002735 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2736
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002737 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2738 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2739 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002740
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002741- Serial Flash support
2742 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2743
2744 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2745 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2746
2747 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2748 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2749 commands.
2750
2751 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2752 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2753 flash is present on the system.
2754
2755 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2756 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2757 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2758 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2759
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002760 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2761
2762 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2763 test ('sf test').
2764
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302765 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2766
2767 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2768 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002769 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302770
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002771- SystemACE Support:
2772 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2773
2774 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2775 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002776 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002777 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002778
2779 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002780 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002781
2782 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2783 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2784
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002785- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2786 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2787
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002788 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002789 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002790 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002791 number generator is used.
2792
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002793 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2794 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2795 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2796
2797 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002798 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2799 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2800 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2801 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2802 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2803 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2804
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002805- Hashing support:
2806 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2807
2808 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2809 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2810
2811 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
2812
2813 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
2814 size a little.
2815
gaurav rana94e3c8c2015-02-20 12:51:46 +05302816 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
2817 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2818 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
2819 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
2820 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
2821 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
2822 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
2823 hash_lookup_algo() function.
2824 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
2825 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
2826 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
2827 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002828
2829 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
2830 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
2831
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07002832- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
2833 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
2834 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
2835 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
2836
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002837- bootcount support:
2838 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
2839
2840 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
2841 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
2842
2843 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
2844 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01002845 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
2846 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
2847 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
2848 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
2849 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
2850 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
2851 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
2852 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
2853 the bootcounter.
2854 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002856- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002857 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
2858
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002859 Defining this option allows to add some board-
2860 specific code (calling a user-provided function
2861 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2862 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2863 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2864 the following checkpoints are implemented:

3056 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3057 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3058 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3059 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3060 configured panel size.

3095
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003096
3097 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3098 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3099 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3100 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3101 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3102 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3103
3104 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3105 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3106 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3107 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3108 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3109
3110 default: 4096
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003111
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003112 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3113 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3114 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3115 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3116 flash), this value is ignored.
3117
3118 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3119 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3120 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3121 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3122 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3123 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3124
3125 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3126 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3127 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3128 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3129 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3130 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3131 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3132 partition.
3133
3134 default: 20
3135
3136 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3137 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3138 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3139 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3140 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3141 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3142 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3143 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3144 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3145 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3146 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3147 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3148
3149 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3150 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3151 without a fastmap.
3152 default: 0
3153
Heiko Schocher0195a7b2015-10-22 06:19:21 +02003154 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG

Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)8c80eb32015-03-31 11:40:50 +02003211 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3212 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3213 loaded does not have a signature.
3214 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3215 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3216 will be caught.
3217 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3218 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3219 and thus should be skipped silently.

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003378- Interrupt support (PPC):
3379
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003380 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3381 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003382 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003383 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003384 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003385 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003386 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003387 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3388 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3389 general timer_interrupt().

York Sunaabd7dd2015-12-07 11:05:29 -08003455- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003456 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003457 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003458 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003459 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3460 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3461 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003462 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that

Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003464 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003465
3466 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3467 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3468 be touched.
3469
3470 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3471 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3472 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3473 non page size aligned address and this could cause major

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003497- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003498 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3499
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003500- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3501 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3502 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3503 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3504 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3505 space.
3506
3507 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3508 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3509 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003510 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003511 U-Boot relocates itself.
3512
Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07003513- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3514 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3515 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3516 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3517
Thierry Reding1dfdd9b2014-12-09 22:25:22 -07003518- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3519 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3520 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3521 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3522 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3523 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3524 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3525 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3526 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3527 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3528 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3529 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3530 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3531 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3532 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3533 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3534
3535 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3536
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003537- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003538 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3539 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003540 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003541 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3542
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003543- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003544 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3545 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

3547 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003548 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003549 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003550 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003551 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3552 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3553 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003554
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003555- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:

3557 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3558 is enabled.
3559
3560- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3561 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3562 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3563
3564- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3565 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3566 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3567

3588 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3589
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003590- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003591
3592 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3593 without this option such a download has to be
3594 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3595 copy from RAM to flash.
3596
3597 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3598 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003599 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3600 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003601 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3602
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003603- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

3613 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3614 to the MTD layer.
3615
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003616- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

3625 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3626 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3627 optionally available.
3628
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003629- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS

3635 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3636 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3637 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3638 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3639 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3640 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3641 this option if you really know what you are doing.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003643- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003644 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3645 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003646 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3647 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003648 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003649 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003661 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003662 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3663 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3664 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3665
3666 The format of the list is:

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003689 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003690
3691 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3692 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3693 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3694 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3695 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3696 ".flags" variable.
3697
Joe Hershbergerbdf1fe42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05003698 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a

Gabe Black0d296cc2014-10-15 04:38:30 -06003711- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3712 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3713 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3714 building U-Boot to enable this.
3715
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003716The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3717of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3718following configurations:
3719
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003720- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3721
3722 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3723 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3724
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003725- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003726
3727 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3728
3729 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3730 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3731 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3732 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3733 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3734 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3735 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3736 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3737 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3738 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3739 between U-Boot and the environment.
3740
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003741 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003742
3743 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3744 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3745 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3746 for this sector is given here.
3747
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003748 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003751
3752 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3753 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003754 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003755
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003756 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003757
3758 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3759
3760
3761 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3762 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3763 the environment.
3764
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003765 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003766
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003767 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003768 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003769 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3770 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3771
3772 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3773 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3774 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
3775 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
3776 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
3777 updating the environment in flash makes it always
3778 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
3779 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
3780 RAM, your target system will be dead.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003796
3797 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
3798 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
3799 environment.

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003804 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003805 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
3806 can just be read and written to, without any special
3807 provision.
3808
3809BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003810in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003811console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003812U-Boot will hang.
3813
3814Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
3815environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
3816keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
3817to save the current settings.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003821
3822 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
3823 device and a driver for it.

3826 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003827
3828 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003839 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
3840 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
3841 would require six bits.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003851 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00003852 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
3853 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
3854 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
3855 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
3856 byte chips.
3857
3858 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
3859 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
3860 in the chip address.

3868
3869 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
3870 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
3871 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
3872 EEPROM. For example:
3873
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01003874 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01003875

3932 want to use for the local device's environment.
3933
3934 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
3935 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
3936
3937 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
3938 environment area within the remote memory space. The
3939 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003940 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00003941
3942BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
3943"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00003944environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
3945but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05003967 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
3968
3969 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
3970 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
3971 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
3972 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
3973 the range to be avoided.
3974
3975 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
3976
3977 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
3978 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
3979 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
3980 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02003983- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
3984
3985 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the

3988
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00003989- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
3990
3991 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
3992 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
3993 accesses, which is important on NAND.
3994
3995 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
3996
3997 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
3998

Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004004 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4005
4006 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4007 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4008 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4009
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004010 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4011 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4012

Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004024
4025 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4026 be as following:
4027
4028 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4029 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4030 partition table.
4031 - "D:0": device D.
4032 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4033 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4034 table.
4035 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004036 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004037 partition table then means device D.
4038
4039 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4040
4041 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004042 environment.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004043
4044 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004045 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004046
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004047- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4048
4049 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4050 environment.
4051
4052 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4053
4054 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4055
4056 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4057
4058 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4059 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4060 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4061
4062 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4063 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4064
4065 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4066 area within the specified MMC device.
4067
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004068 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4069 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4070 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4071 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4072 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4073 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4074 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4075
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004076 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4077 MMC sector boundary.
4078
4079 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4080
4081 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4082 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4083 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4084 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4085
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004086 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4087 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4088
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004089 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4090 an MMC sector boundary.
4091
4092 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4093
4094 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4095 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4096 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4097
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004098- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004099
4100 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4101 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4102 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4103 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4104 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4105 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4106 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4107
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004108Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004109has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004110created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004111until then to read environment variables.
4112
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004113The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4114is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4115with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4116necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4117"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4118have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004119
4120Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4121the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004122use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004163
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004164 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4165 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4166 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004168- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4169 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4170 PowerPC SOCs.
4171
4172- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4173 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4174 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4175
4176 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4177 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4178
4179- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4180 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4181 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004182 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004183 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4184 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4185 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4186
4187 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4188 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4189
4190- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004191 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4192 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004193 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4194 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4195
4196- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4197 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4198 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4199 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4200
4201- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4202 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4203 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004217 defines the offset of register from address. It
4218 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to

wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +00004224
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004225 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004226 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4227 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004228 source code. It is used to make hardware-dependent

4233 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4234 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4235 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional

Wolfgang Denk553f0982010-10-26 13:32:32 +02004264 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
Simon Glassacd51f92016-10-02 18:01:06 -06004265 GENERATED_GBL_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just

4269 Note:
4270 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004272 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004273 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4274 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4393
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004394- CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004395 If SPD EEPROM is on an I2C bus other than the first
4396 one, specify here. Note that the value must resolve
4397 to something your driver can deal with.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04004398
York Sun1b3e3c42011-06-07 09:42:16 +08004399- CONFIG_SYS_DDR_RAW_TIMING
4400 Get DDR timing information from other than SPD. Common with
4401 soldered DDR chips onboard without SPD. DDR raw timing
4402 parameters are extracted from datasheet and hard-coded into
4403 header files or board specific files.
4404
York Sun6f5e1dc2011-09-16 13:21:35 -07004405- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_INTERACTIVE
4406 Enable interactive DDR debugging. See doc/README.fsl-ddr.
4407
York Sune32d59a2015-01-06 13:18:55 -08004408- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_SYNC_REFRESH
4409 Enable sync of refresh for multiple controllers.
4410
York Sun4516ff82015-03-19 09:30:28 -07004411- CONFIG_FSL_DDR_BIST
4412 Enable built-in memory test for Freescale DDR controllers.
4413
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004414- CONFIG_SYS_83XX_DDR_USES_CS0
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004415 Only for 83xx systems. If specified, then DDR should
4416 be configured using CS0 and CS1 instead of CS2 and CS3.
Timur Tabi2ad6b512006-10-31 18:44:42 -06004417
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004418- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4419 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4420
4421- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4422 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004423 to the given FEC; i. e.
4424 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004425 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4426
4427 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4428
4429- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4430 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4431 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4432
4433- CONFIG_RMII
4434 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4435 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4436 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4437
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004438- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY
4439 Add a verify option to the crc32 command.
4440 The syntax is:
4441
4442 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4443
4444 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4445 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4446 area should have.
4447
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004448- CONFIG_LOOPW
4449 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004450 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004451
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004452- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4453 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4454 "md/mw" commands.
4455 Examples:
4456
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004457 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004458 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4459
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004460 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004461 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4462
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004463 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004464 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004465
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004466- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004467 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004468 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4469 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4470 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004471
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004472 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4473 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4474 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4475 these initializations itself.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004476
Simon Glassb5bd0982016-05-05 07:28:06 -06004477- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4478 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
yeongjun Kim90211f72016-07-20 22:56:12 +09004479 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
Simon Glassb5bd0982016-05-05 07:28:06 -06004480 instruction cache) is still performed.
4481
Aneesh V401bb302011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004482- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004483 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4484 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4485 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk400558b2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004486
Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004487- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4488 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4489 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4490 It is loaded by the SPL.
4491
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004492- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4493 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4494 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4495 previous 4k of the .text section.
4496
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004497- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4498 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4499 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4500 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4501 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4502 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4503 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4504 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4505
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004506- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4507 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4508 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004509
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004510- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4511 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4512
4513 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black5b5ece92012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004514
Heiko Schocher16678eb2013-11-04 14:05:00 +01004515- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4516 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4517
Karicheri, Muralidharan999d7d32014-04-04 13:16:50 -04004518- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4519 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004523Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4524-----------------------------------
4525
4526The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4527loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4528This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4529are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4530within that device.
4531
Zhao Qiangdcf1d772014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004532- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4533 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4534 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4535 is also specified.
4536
4537- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4538 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004539 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4540 is also specified.
4541
4542- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4543 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4544 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4545 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4546 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4547
4548- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4549 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4550 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4551 virtual address in NOR flash.
4552
4553- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4554 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4555 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4556
4557- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4558 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4559 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4560
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004561- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4562 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4563 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004564 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4565 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4566 master's memory space.

4569---------------------------------------------------------
4570The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4571"firmware".
4572This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4573are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4574within that device.
4575
4576- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4577 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4578
Prabhakar Kushwaha5c055082015-06-02 10:55:52 +05304579Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4580-------------------------------------------
4581The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4582"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4583This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4584

Paul Kocialkowskif3f431a2015-07-26 18:48:15 +02004588Reproducible builds
4589-------------------
4590
4591In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4592process have to be set to a fixed value.
4593
4594This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4595SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4596option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4597
4598SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004600Building the Software:
4601======================
4602
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004603Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4604and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4605all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4606(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4607recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4608which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004609
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004610If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4611have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4612you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4613Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4614necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004615
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004616 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4617 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004618
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004619Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4620 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4621 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4622 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4623
4624 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4625
4626 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4627 be executed on computers running Windows.
4628
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004629U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4630sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004631is done by typing:
4632
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004633 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004634

wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004637
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004638Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4639 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4640 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4641 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004642 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004643
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004644 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004645 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004652
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004653Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4654images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004655
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004656- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4657- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4658- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004659
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004660By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4661in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4662this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4663
46641. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4665
4666 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004667 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004681Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4682for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4683native "make".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004686If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4687to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4688steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004689
Phil Sutter3c1496c2015-12-25 14:41:18 +010046901. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004691 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
Phil Sutter3c1496c2015-12-25 14:41:18 +01004692 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
46932. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4694 your board.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046953. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4696 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020046974. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000046985. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4699 to be installed on your target system.
47006. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4701 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004706
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004707If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4708or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004709provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4710the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004711official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004712
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004713But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4714cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004715the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
Simon Glass6de80f22016-07-27 20:33:08 -06004716just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4717configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4718will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4719for documentation.

4781
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004782Environment Variables:
4783======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004784
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004785U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
4786can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004787
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004788Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
4789"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
4790without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
4791environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
4792working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
4793environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004794
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004795Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
4796
4797List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004798
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004799 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004800
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004801 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004802
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004803 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004804
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004805 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004806
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004807 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004808
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004809 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4810 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4811 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
4812 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
4813 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
4814 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004815 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
4816 bootm_mapsize.
4817
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004818 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004819 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
4820 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
4821 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
4822 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
4823 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
4824 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004825
4826 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
4827 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
4828 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
4829 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
4830 environment variable.
4831
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02004832 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
4833 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
4834 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
4835
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004836 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
4837 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
4838 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
4839 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004840
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004841 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
4842 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
4843 be automatically started (by internally calling
4844 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004845
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004846 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
4847 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
4848 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
4849 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
4850 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004851
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004852 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
4853 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00004854 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
4855 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
4856 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
4857 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
4858 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
4859 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
4860 access it during the boot procedure.
4861
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04004862 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
4863 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
4864 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
4865 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
4866 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
4867 must be accessible by the kernel.
4868
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00004869 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
4870 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
4871 defined.
4872
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00004873 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
4874 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
4875 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
4876 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
4877 it must be saved and board must be reset.
4878
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004879 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
4880 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
4881 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
4882 is usually what you want since it allows for
4883 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
4884 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004885 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004886 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
4887 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
4888 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
4889 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004890
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004891 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
4892 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
4893 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
4894 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
4895 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
4896 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004897
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004898 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004899
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004900 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
4901 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
4902 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
4903 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
4904 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
4905 boot time on your system, but requires that this
4906 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00004907
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004908 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004923 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004924
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00004925 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
4926 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004927
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02004928 => setenv ethact FEC
4929 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
4930 => setenv ethact SCC
4931 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004932
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01004933 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
4934 available network interfaces.
4935 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
4936
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004937 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004938 either succeed or fail without retrying.
4939 When set to "once" the network operation will
4940 fail when all the available network interfaces
4941 are tried once without success.
4942 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
4943 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004944
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01004945 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004947 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07004948 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
4949 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
4950 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
4951 is silent.

4955
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)f5fb7342015-10-12 00:02:57 +02004956 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02004957 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
4958
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01004959 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
4960 we use the TFTP server's default block size
4961
4962 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
4963 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
4964 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
4965 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
4966 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
4967 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
4968 with unreliable TFTP servers.
4969
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)f5fb7342015-10-12 00:02:57 +02004970 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
4971 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
4972 can happen during a single file transfer before that
4973 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
4974 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
4975 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
4976 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.

Alexandre Messier50768f52016-02-01 17:08:57 -05004982 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
4983 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
4984 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
4985 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
4986 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
4987
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004988The following image location variables contain the location of images
4989used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
4990not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
4991variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
4992server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
4993loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
4994flash or offset in NAND flash.
4995
4996*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevamaed9fed2015-04-25 18:53:10 -03004997boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00004998boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005007The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5008updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5009depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005010
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005011 bootfile - see above

5014 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5015 hostname - Target hostname
5016 ipaddr - see above
5017 netmask - Subnet Mask

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005022There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005023
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005024 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5025 as type string and/or serial number
5026 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005027
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005028These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5029the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5030once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005031
5032
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005033Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005034
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005035 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5036 with the "version" command. This variable is
5037 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005044Callback functions for environment variables:
5045---------------------------------------------
5046
5047For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005048when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005049be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5050deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5051effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5052
5053The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5054U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5055
5056These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5057static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5058in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5059associations. The list must be in the following format:
5060
5061 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5062 list = entry[,list]
5063
5064If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5065Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5066
5067Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5068with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5069override any association in the static list. You can define
5070CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005071".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005072
Joe Hershbergerbdf1fe42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05005073If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5074regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5075the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005081There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5082the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005083
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005084Old, simple command line parser:
5085--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005086
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005087- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5088- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005089- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005090- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5091 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005092 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005093- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5094 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'

5097-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005098
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005099- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5100 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5101 until...do...done, ...
5102- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5103 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5104 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5105 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005106
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005107General rules:
5108--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005109
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005110(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5111 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5112 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5113 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005114
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005115(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005116 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005117 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5118 variables are not executed.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005119
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005120Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5121=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005122
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005123Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005124such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5125"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005126
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005127Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5128MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5129"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005130
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005131If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5132in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5133ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5134variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005135
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005136o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5137 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005138
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005139o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5140 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5141 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005142
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005143o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5144 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005145
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005146o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5147 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5148 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005149
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005150o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
Joe Hershbergerbef10142015-05-04 14:55:13 -05005151 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5152 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005153
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005154If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005155will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005156may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5157The naming convention is as follows:
5158"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005159
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005160Image Formats:
5161==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005162
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005163U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5164images in two formats:
5165
5166New uImage format (FIT)
5167-----------------------
5168
5169Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5170to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5171components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5172SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5173
5174
5175Old uImage format
5176-----------------
5177
5178Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5179preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5180details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005201Linux Support:
5202==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005203
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005204Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5205easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5206U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005207
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005208U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5209special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5210"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5211instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5212serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005213
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005214- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5215 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5216 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005217
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005218- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5219 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005220
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005221- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5222 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5223 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5224 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5225 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005232Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5233---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005234
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005235U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5236configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5237(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5238Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005239
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005240But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005241
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005242Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5243include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005244Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5245and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005246as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005247
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005248Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5249If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5250is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5251doc/driver-model.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005254Configuring the Linux kernel:
5255-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005256
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005257No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5258device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005259
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005260
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005261Building a Linux Image:
5262-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005263
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005264With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5265not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5266"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5267U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5268which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5269100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005270
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005271Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005272
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005273 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005274 make oldconfig
5275 make dep
5276 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005277
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005278The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5279encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5280CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005281
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005282* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005283
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005284* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005285
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005286 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5287 -R .note -R .comment \
5288 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005289
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005290* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005291
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005292 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005293
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005294* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005295
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005296 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5297 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5298 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005299
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005300
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005301The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5302with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5303combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5304byte header containing information about target architecture,
5305operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5306stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005307
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005308"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5309print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005310
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005311In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5312contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5313checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005314
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005315 tools/mkimage -l image
5316 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005317
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005318The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5319from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005320
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005321 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5322 -n name -d data_file image
5323 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5324 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5325 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5326 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5327 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5328 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5329 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5330 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005331
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005332Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5333address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5334kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005335
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005336- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5337- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005338
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005339So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005340

Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraa804b5c2013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005393The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5394option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5395option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5396from the image:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005404Installing a Linux Image:
5405-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005406
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005407To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5408you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005409
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005410 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005411
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005412The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5413image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5414address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5415specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5416command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005417
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005418Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005584More About U-Boot Image Types:
5585------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005586
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005587U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005588
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005589 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5590 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5591 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5592 the Standalone Program.
5593 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5594 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5595 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5596 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5597 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5598 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5599 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5600 being started.
5601 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5602 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5603 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5604 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5605 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5606 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005607
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005608 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5609 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5610 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5611 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5612 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5613 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005614
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005615 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5616 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5617 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005618
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005619 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5620 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5621 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5622 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005624Booting the Linux zImage:
5625-------------------------
5626
5627On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5628using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5629as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5630
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005631Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005632kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5633address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5634format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5638=================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005639
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005640One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5641run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5642U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005643
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005644Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005649'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5650application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5651It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5652like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005678Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5679handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5680Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5681The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5682character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5683controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005684

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005728Over time, many people have reported problems when trying to use the

5730consider minicom to be broken, and recommend not to use it. Under

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005749Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5750(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005751
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005752Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5753NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5754need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5755Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5756attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5757missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005758
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005759 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5760 # mkdir powerpc
5761 # ln -s powerpc machine
5762 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5763 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005764
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005765Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
5766and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005767
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005768Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
5769stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
5770proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
5771tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005778The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
5779implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
5780inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
5781hardware.

5785---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005786
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005787The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
5788starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
5789system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
5790This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
5791is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
5792at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
5793options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
5794models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
5795MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
5796locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005806 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
5807 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
5808 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
5809 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
5810 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005811 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005812 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
5813 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005814
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005815 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
5816 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005817 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005818 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
5819 board designers haven't used it for something that would
5820 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
5821 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00005822
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005823 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005824 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
5825 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02005826 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005827 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
5828 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
5829 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
5830 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
5831 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005836It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
5837code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005838
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005839* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
5840 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005841
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005842* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005843 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
5844 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005845
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005846* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
5847 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005848
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005849Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005850normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005851turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
5852simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
5853functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
5854functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
5855the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
5856place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
5857reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005858
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005859When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
5860relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
5861GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005862
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005863For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
5864 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005865 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005866 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
5867 R5-R10: parameter passing
5868 R13: small data area pointer
5869 R30: GOT pointer
5870 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005871
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01005872 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
5873 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
5874 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005875
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01005876 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005877
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005878 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
5879 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
5880 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
5881 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
5882 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
5883 624 text + 127 data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005884
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005885On ARM, the following registers are used:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005886
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005887 R0: function argument word/integer result
5888 R1-R3: function argument word
Jeroen Hofstee12eba1b2013-09-21 14:04:42 +02005889 R9: platform specific
5890 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005891 R11: argument (frame) pointer
5892 R12: temporary workspace
5893 R13: stack pointer
5894 R14: link register
5895 R15: program counter
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005896
Jeroen Hofstee12eba1b2013-09-21 14:04:42 +02005897 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
5898
5899 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005900
Thomas Chou0df01fd2010-05-21 11:08:03 +08005901On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
5902 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
5903
5904 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
5905
5906 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
5907 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
5908
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00005909On NDS32, the following registers are used:
5910
5911 R0-R1: argument/return
5912 R2-R5: argument
5913 R15: temporary register for assembler
5914 R16: trampoline register
5915 R28: frame pointer (FP)
5916 R29: global pointer (GP)
5917 R30: link register (LP)
5918 R31: stack pointer (SP)
5919 PC: program counter (PC)
5920
5921 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
5922
Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02005923NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
5924or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005926Memory Management:
5927------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005928
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005929U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
5930MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005931
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005932The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
5933controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
5934memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
5935physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005936
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005937U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
5938TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
5939booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
5940to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005941memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005942configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
5943Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005944
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005945Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
5946of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005947
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005948So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
5949this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005950
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005951 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
5952 :
5953 0x0000 1FFF
5954 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
5955 :

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005957

5960 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
5961 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data

5963 :
5964 0x00FD FFFF
5965 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
5966 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
5967 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
5968 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005969
5970
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005971System Initialization:
5972----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005973
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005974In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005975(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005976configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005977To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
5978To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
5979initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
5980which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
5981part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
5982the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005983
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005984Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
5985preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
5986(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
5987on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
5988programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
5989simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
5990banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005991
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005992When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
5993different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
5994bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
59950x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
5996contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005997
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005998Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
5999and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6000Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6001pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006002
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006003Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6004until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6005running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6006new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006083Coding Standards:
6084-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006085
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006086All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006087coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006088"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006089
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006090Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6091MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006092reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006093sources.
6094
6095Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6096Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6097in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006098
6099Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6100- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006101- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006102- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006103- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006104- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6105
6106Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6107with a request to reformat the changes.

6111-------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006112
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006113Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6114establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6115may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006116
Magnus Lilja0d28f342008-08-06 19:32:33 +02006117Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006118
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006119Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6120see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6121
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006122When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6123it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006124
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006125* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6126 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6127 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006128
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006129* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6130 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006131
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006132* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6133
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -05006134* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6135 information and associated file and directory references.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006136
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006137* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6138 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006139
6140* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6141 document these in the README file.
6142
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006143* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6144 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006145 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006146 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6147 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006148
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006149 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6150 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6151 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006152
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006153 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6154 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6155 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6156 affected files).
6157
6158 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6159 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006160
6161* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6162 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6163
6164* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6165 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6166
6167
6168Notes:
6169
Simon Glass6de80f22016-07-27 20:33:08 -06006170* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006171 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6172 for any of the boards.
6173
6174* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6175 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6176 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6177
6178* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6179 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6180 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6181 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6182 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6183 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006184
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006185* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6186 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6187 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6188 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
