9========

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=======

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.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200258 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000259
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
263
264
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.
272
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600274
275
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000276Configuration Options:
277----------------------
278
279Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
280such information is kept in a configuration file
281"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
282
283Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
284"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
285
286
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000287Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
288kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
289build a config tool - later.
290
291
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000292The following options need to be configured:
293

Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -0700624- Driver Model
625 Driver model is a new framework for devices in U-Boot
626 introduced in early 2014. U-Boot is being progressively
627 moved over to this. It offers a consistent device structure,
628 supports grouping devices into classes and has built-in
629 handling of platform data and device tree.
630
631 To enable transition to driver model in a relatively
632 painful fashion, each subsystem can be independently
633 switched between the legacy/ad-hoc approach and the new
634 driver model using the options below. Also, many uclass
635 interfaces include compatibility features which may be
636 removed once the conversion of that subsystem is complete.
637 As a result, the API provided by the subsystem may in fact
638 not change with driver model.
639
640 See doc/driver-model/README.txt for more information.
641
642 CONFIG_DM
643
644 Enable driver model. This brings in the core support,
645 including scanning of platform data on start-up. If
646 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is enabled, the device tree will be
647 scanned also when available.
648
649 CONFIG_CMD_DM
650
651 Enable driver model test commands. These allow you to print
652 out the driver model tree and the uclasses.
653
654 CONFIG_DM_DEMO
655
656 Enable some demo devices and the 'demo' command. These are
657 really only useful for playing around while trying to
658 understand driver model in sandbox.
659
660 CONFIG_SPL_DM
661
662 Enable driver model in SPL. You will need to provide a
663 suitable malloc() implementation. If you are not using the
664 full malloc() enabled by CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START,
665 consider using CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE. In that case you
666 must provide CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN to set the size.
667 In most cases driver model will only allocate a few uclasses
668 and devices in SPL, so 1KB should be enable. See
669 CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN for more details on how to enable
670 it.
671
672 CONFIG_DM_SERIAL
673
674 Enable driver model for serial. This replaces
675 drivers/serial/serial.c with the serial uclass, which
676 implements serial_putc() etc. The uclass interface is
677 defined in include/serial.h.
678
679 CONFIG_DM_GPIO
680
681 Enable driver model for GPIO access. The standard GPIO
682 interface (gpio_get_value(), etc.) is then implemented by
683 the GPIO uclass. Drivers provide methods to query the
684 particular GPIOs that they provide. The uclass interface
685 is defined in include/asm-generic/gpio.h.
686
687 CONFIG_DM_SPI
688
689 Enable driver model for SPI. The SPI slave interface
690 (spi_setup_slave(), spi_xfer(), etc.) is then implemented by
691 the SPI uclass. Drivers provide methods to access the SPI
692 buses that they control. The uclass interface is defined in
693 include/spi.h. The existing spi_slave structure is attached
694 as 'parent data' to every slave on each bus. Slaves
695 typically use driver-private data instead of extending the
696 spi_slave structure.
697
698 CONFIG_DM_SPI_FLASH
699
700 Enable driver model for SPI flash. This SPI flash interface
701 (spi_flash_probe(), spi_flash_write(), etc.) is then
702 implemented by the SPI flash uclass. There is one standard
703 SPI flash driver which knows how to probe most chips
704 supported by U-Boot. The uclass interface is defined in
705 include/spi_flash.h, but is currently fully compatible
706 with the old interface to avoid confusion and duplication
707 during the transition parent. SPI and SPI flash must be
708 enabled together (it is not possible to use driver model
709 for one and not the other).
710
711 CONFIG_DM_CROS_EC
712
713 Enable driver model for the Chrome OS EC interface. This
714 allows the cros_ec SPI driver to operate with CONFIG_DM_SPI
715 but otherwise makes few changes. Since cros_ec also supports
716 I2C and LPC (which don't support driver model yet), a full
717 conversion is not yet possible.
718
719
720 ** Code size options: The following options are enabled by
721 default except in SPL. Enable them explicitly to get these
722 features in SPL.
723
724 CONFIG_DM_WARN
725
726 Enable the dm_warn() function. This can use up quite a bit
727 of space for its strings.
728
729 CONFIG_DM_STDIO
730
731 Enable registering a serial device with the stdio library.
732
733 CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE
734
735 Enable removing of devices.
736

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000739 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
740
741 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
742 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
743 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
744 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
745 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
746 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
747 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000748 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100749 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the

wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000752 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
753
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -0800754 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000755 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
756 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Kumar Gala4e253132006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600779 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
780
781 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
782 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000783
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600784 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
785
786 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
787 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
788 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
789 the kernel.
790
Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500791 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
792
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200793 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500794 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
795
Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200796 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
797
798 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
799 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
800 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
801 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
802 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
803 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
804
Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000805 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
806
807 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
808 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
809 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
810 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
811 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
812 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
813 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
814
Niklaus Giger0b2f4ec2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100815- vxWorks boot parameters:
816
817 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
818 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
819 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
820
821 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
822 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address

824 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
825
826 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
827
828 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
829
830 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
831 the defaults discussed just above.

wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000846
847 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
848
Andreas Engel48d01922008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200849 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000850
851 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
852
853 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
854
855 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
856 the clock speed of the UARTs.
857
858 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
859
860 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
861 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
862 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
863
John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000864 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
865
866 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
867 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
868 this variable to initialize the extra register.
869
870 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
871
872 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
873 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
874 variable to flush the UART at init time.
875
Karicheri, Muralidharand57dee52014-04-09 15:38:46 -0400876 CONFIG_SERIAL_HW_FLOW_CONTROL

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000881- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000882 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
883 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
884 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
885 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000886
887 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
888 port routines must be defined elsewhere
889 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
890
891 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
892 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000930 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
931 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
932 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
933
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000934 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
935 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
936 environment 'console=serial'.

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000938 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
939 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
940 the "silent" environment variable. See
941 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenka3ad8e22003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000942
Heiko Schocher45ae2542013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200943 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100954- Console Rx buffer length
955 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
956 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100957 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100958 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
959 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
960 the SMC.
961
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000962- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200963 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
964 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
965 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
966 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
967 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
968 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
969 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200970 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200971 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000972
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200973 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
974 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000975
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000976- Safe printf() functions
977 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
978 the printf() functions. These are defined in
979 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
980 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
981 If this option is not given then these functions will
982 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
983 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
984
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000985- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
986 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
987 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000988 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
989 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000990
991 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
992 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
993 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
994 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
995 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
996 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
997 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
998 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
999 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
1000 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
1001 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
1002 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
1003
1004- Autoboot Command:
1005 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
1006 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
1007 define a command string that is automatically executed
1008 when no character is read on the console interface
1009 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
1010
1011 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001012 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
1013 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
1014 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001015
1016 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001017 The value of these goes into the environment as
1018 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
1019 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001020 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001021
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +01001022- Bootcount:
1023 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1024 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1025 cycle, see:
1026 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1027
1028 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1029 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1030 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1031 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1032 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1033 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1034 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1035 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1036 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1037
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001038- Pre-Boot Commands:
1039 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1040
1041 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1042 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1043 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1044 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1045 entering interactive mode.
1046
1047 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1048 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1049 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1050 modified when the user holds down a certain
1051 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1052 booting the systems
1053
1054- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1055 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1056 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1057 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1058 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1059 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1060 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1061 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
1062
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001063- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001064 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
1065 Select one of the baudrates listed in

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001067
1068- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001069 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1070 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +00001071 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
1072 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001073 and augmenting with additional #define's
1074 for wanted commands.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001198 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1199 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1200 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1201 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1202 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1203 initial stack and some data.

1206 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1207
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001208- Regular expression support:
1209 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001210 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1211 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1212 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1213 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001214
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001215- Device tree:
1216 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1217 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1218 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1219 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1220 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1221 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1222
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001223 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1224 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001225
1226 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1227 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1228 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1229 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1230 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1231 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001232
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001233 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1234 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1235 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1236 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1237
1238 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1239
1240 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1241 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1242 still use the individual files if you need something more
1243 exotic.
1244
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001245- Watchdog:
1246 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1247 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001248 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1249 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1250 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1251 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1252 available, then no further board specific code should
1253 be needed to use it.
1254
1255 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1256 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1257 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1258 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001259
Heiko Schocher7bae0d62015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001260 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1261 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1262
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001263- U-Boot Version:
1264 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1265 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1266 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1267 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001268 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1269 next reset.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001271- Real-Time Clock:
1272
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001273 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001274 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1275 following options:
1276
1277 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1278 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001279 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001289 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1290 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001291
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001292 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1293 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1294
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001295- GPIO Support:
1296 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001297
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001298 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1299 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1300 pins supported by a particular chip.
1301
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001302 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1303 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1304
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001305- I/O tracing:
1306 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1307 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1308 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1309 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1310 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1311 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1312 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1313 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1314
1315 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1316 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1317 still continue to operate.
1318
1319 iotrace is enabled
1320 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1321 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1322 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1323 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1324 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1325 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1326
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001327- Timestamp Support:
1328
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001329 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1330 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1331 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001332 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001333

Igor Grinbergd70a5602011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001657- ULPI Layer Support:
1658 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1659 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1660 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1661 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1662 viewport is supported.
1663 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1664 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001665 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1666 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1667 the appropriate value in Hz.

Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001718 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1719 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1720 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1721 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1722 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1723
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001724 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1725 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1726 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1727 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1728 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1729 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1730
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001731 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1732 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1733 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1734 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1735
1736 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1737 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1738 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1739 sending again an USB request to the device.

1755 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1756 downloaded images.
1757
1758 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1759 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1760 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1761 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1762
Steve Raed1b5ed02014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001763 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH

1765 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1766 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1767
1768 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1769 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1770 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1771 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1772
Steve Rae0ff7e582014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001773 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1774 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1775 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1776 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1777 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1778 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1779 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1780 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

2002 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
2003 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05002004 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00002005 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
2006 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
2007 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
2008 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2009 there is no need to set this option.
2010
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02002011 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2012
2013 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2014 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2015 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2016 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2017 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2018 specify 'm' for centering the image.
2019
2020 Example:
2021 setenv splashpos m,m
2022 => image at center of screen
2023
2024 setenv splashpos 30,20
2025 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
2026
2027 setenv splashpos -10,m
2028 => vertically centered image
2029 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2030
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02002031- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2032
2033 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2034 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2035 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2036
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01002037- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2038
2039 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2040 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2041 bmp command.
2042
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002043- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00002044 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2045
2046 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2047 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2048
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002049- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002050 CONFIG_GZIP
2051
2052 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2053
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002054 CONFIG_BZIP2
2055
2056 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2057 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2058 compressed images are supported.
2059
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002060 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002061 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002062 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002063
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002064 CONFIG_LZMA
2065
2066 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2067 images is included.
2068
2069 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2070 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2071 formula:
2072
2073 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2074
2075 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2076 and Literal pos bits.
2077
2078 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2079 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2080 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2081 a very small buffer.
2082
2083 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2084 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002085 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002086
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002087 CONFIG_LZO
2088
2089 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2090 is included.
2091
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002092- MII/PHY support:

2095 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2096
2097 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2098
2099 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2100
2101 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2102
2103 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002104 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002105
2106 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2107
2108 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2109 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2110 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2111 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2112
2113 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2114
2115 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2116 command issued before MII status register can be read

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002126 Define a default value for Ethernet address to use
2127 for the respective Ethernet interface, in case this
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002128 is not determined automatically.

Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002145 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2146
2147 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2148 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2149
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002150- Gateway IP address:
2151 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2152
2153 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2154 default router where packets to other networks are
2155 sent to.
2156 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2157
2158- Subnet mask:
2159 CONFIG_NETMASK
2160
2161 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2162 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2163 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2164 forwarded through a router.
2165 (Environment variable "netmask")
2166
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002167- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2168 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2169
2170 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2171 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002172 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002173 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2174 multicast group.
2175
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002176- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2177 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2178
2179 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2180 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2181 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2182 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2183 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2184 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2185 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2186 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002187 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002188
2189 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2190 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2191 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2192 4th and following
2193 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2194
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002195 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2196
2197 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2198 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2199 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2200 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2201 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2202 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2203 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2204 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2205 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2206 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2207 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2208 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2209 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2210 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2211 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2212

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002231 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2232 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002233
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002234 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2235 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2236 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2237 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2238 is not available.
2239
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002240 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2241 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2242 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2243 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2244 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2245 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2246 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002247 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002248
2249 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2250 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2251 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002252 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002253 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2254 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002255
Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002256 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2257
2258 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2259 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2260 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2261 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2262 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2263 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2264 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2265 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2266 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2267 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2268 this delay.
2269
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002270 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2271 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2272 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2273 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2274 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002320- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2321
2322 Several configurations allow to display the current
2323 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2324 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2325 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2326 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2327 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2328 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2329 feature in U-Boot.
2330
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002331 Additional options:
2332
2333 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2334 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2335 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2336 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2337 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2338
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002339 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2340 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2341 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2342 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2343 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2344 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2345
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002346- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2347

2349 on those systems that support this (optional)
2350 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002528- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002529
2530 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2531 provides the following compelling advantages:
2532
2533 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2534 - approved multibus support
2535 - better i2c mux support
2536
2537 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2538
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002539 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2540 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2541 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002542
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002543 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002544 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002545 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2546 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002547 command line interface.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002550
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002551 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002552 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002553
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002554 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002555 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002556 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002557 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002558
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002559 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002560 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002561 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2562 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2563 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002564
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002565 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2566
2567 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2568 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2569 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2570 commands until the slave device responds.
2571
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002572 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

2645 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2646 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2647
2648 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2649 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002652
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002653 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2654 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2655 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2656 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2657 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2658 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2659 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2660 is run early in the boot sequence.

Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002662 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2663
2664 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2665 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2666 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2667 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2668 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2669 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2670 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2671 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2672
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002673 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2674
2675 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2676 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2677 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002679 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2680
2681 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002682 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2683 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002684 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

2688 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002689 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002690 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2691 a 1D array of device addresses

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002696
2697 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus

2726
2727 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2728 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2729 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2730 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2731 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2732 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2733 the other.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002865
2866- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2867
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002868 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2869 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002870 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002871 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2872 protects these variables from casual modification by
2873 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2874 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002875 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002876
2877 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2878 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002879 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002880 these parameters.
2881
2882 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2883 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002884 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002885 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2886 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2887 read-only.]
2888
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002889 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2890 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2891 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2892 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2893
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002894- Protected RAM:
2895 CONFIG_PRAM
2896
2897 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2898 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2899 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2900 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2901 this default value by defining an environment
2902 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2903 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2904 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2905 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2906 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2907 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2908 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2909
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002910 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002911 saveenv
2912
2913 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2914 either, which results in a memory region that will
2915 not be affected by reboots.
2916
2917 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2918 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2919 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2920 following board configurations are known to be
2921 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002927- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2928 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2929 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2930 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2931 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2932 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2933 currently only supports clearing the memory.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002935- Error Recovery:
2936 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2937
2938 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2939 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2940 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002941 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002942 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2943 useful during development since you can try to debug
2944 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2945
2946 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2947
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002948 This variable defines the number of retries for
2949 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2950 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2951 default value of 5 is used.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002969 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002970
2971 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2972 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2973 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2974
2975 Note:
2976
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002977 In the current implementation, the local variables
2978 space and global environment variables space are
2979 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2980 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2981 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2982 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2983 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002984
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002985 Global environment variables are those you use
2986 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2987 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2988 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002989
2990 To store commands and special characters in a
2991 variable, please use double quotation marks
2992 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2993 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2994 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003003 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
3004
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003005 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
3006 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003007 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00003008
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003009 For example, place something like this in your
3010 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003011
3012 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
3013 "myvar1=value1\0" \
3014 "myvar2=value2\0"
3015
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003016 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
3017 internal format how the environment is stored by the
3018 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3019 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003020 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003021 You better know what you are doing here.
3022
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003023 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3024 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02003025 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003026 boot command first.

Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00003028 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3029
3030 Define this in order to add variables describing the
3031 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3032 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3033
3034 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3035
3036 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3037 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3038 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3039 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3040 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3041
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00003042 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3043
3044 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3045 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3046 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3047
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003048 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3049
3050 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003051 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003052 that so that the environment is not available until
3053 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3054 this is instead controlled by the value of
3055 /config/load-environment.
3056
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003057- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003058 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3059
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003060 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3061 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3062 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003063
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07003064- Serial Flash support
3065 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3066
3067 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3068 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3069
3070 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3071 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3072 commands.
3073
3074 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3075 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3076 flash is present on the system.
3077
3078 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3079 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3080 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3081 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3082
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003083 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3084
3085 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3086 test ('sf test').
3087
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05303088 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
3089
3090 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
3091 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
3092
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303093 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3094
3095 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3096 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003097 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303098
Heiko Schocher562f8df2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02003099 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
3100 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
3101 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
3102 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
3103 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
3104 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
3105 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
3106 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
3107 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
3108 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
3109
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003110- SystemACE Support:
3111 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3112
3113 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3114 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003115 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003116 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003117
3118 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003119 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003120
3121 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3122 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3123
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003124- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3125 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3126
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003127 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003128 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003129 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003130 number generator is used.
3131
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003132 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3133 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3134 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3135
3136 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003137 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3138 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3139 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3140 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3141 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3142 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3143
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003144- Hashing support:
3145 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3146
3147 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3148 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3149
3150 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3151
3152 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3153 size a little.
3154
3155 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3156 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3157
3158 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3159 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3160
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003161- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3162 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3163 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3164 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3165
3166 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3167 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3168 a boot from specific media.
3169
3170 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3171 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3172 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3173 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3174 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3175
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003176- Signing support:
3177 CONFIG_RSA
3178
3179 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003180 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003181
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303182 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3183 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3184 library to function.
3185
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003186 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303187 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3188 mkimage irrespective of this option.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003189
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003190- bootcount support:
3191 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3192
3193 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3194 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3195
3196 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3197 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3198 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3199 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3200 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3201 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3202 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3203 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3204 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3205 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3206 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3207 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3208 the bootcounter.
3209 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003210
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003211- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003212 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3213
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003214 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3215 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3216 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3217 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3218 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3219 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003220
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003221- Detailed boot stage timing
3222 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3223 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3224 of the boot process.
3225
3226 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3227 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3228 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3229 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3230 the limit, recording will stop.
3231
3232 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3233 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3234
3235 Timer summary in microseconds:
3236 Mark Elapsed Stage
3237 0 0 reset
3238 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3239 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9

3245
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003246 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3247 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3248 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3249
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003250 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3251 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3252 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3253 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3254 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3255 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3256 For example:
3257
3258 bootstage {
3259 154 {
3260 name = "board_init_f";
3261 mark = <3575678>;
3262 };
3263 170 {
3264 name = "lcd";
3265 accum = <33482>;
3266 };
3267 };
3268
3269 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

3477 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3478 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3479 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3480 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3481 configured panel size.

3511 with the UBI flash translation layer
3512

3514

3519
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003520
3521 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3522 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3523 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3524 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3525 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3526 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3527
3528 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3529 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3530 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3531 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3532 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3533
3534 default: 4096
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003535
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003536 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3537 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3538 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3539 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3540 flash), this value is ignored.
3541
3542 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3543 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3544 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3545 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3546 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3547 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3548
3549 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3550 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3551 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3552 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3553 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3554 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3555 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3556 partition.
3557
3558 default: 20
3559
3560 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3561 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3562 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3563 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3564 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3565 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3566 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3567 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3568 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3569 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3570 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3571 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3572
3573 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3574 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3575 without a fastmap.
3576 default: 0
3577
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003578- UBIFS support

3581 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3582 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3583
3584 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3585
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003586 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003852- Interrupt support (PPC):
3853
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003854 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3855 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003856 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003857 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003858 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003859 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003860 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003861 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3862 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3863 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003865- General:
3866
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003867 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3868 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3869 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003870 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003871 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3872 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3873 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003874
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003875 If there are no modem init strings in the
3876 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3877 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003878 suppressed, though.

3952 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003953 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003954 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003955 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3956 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3957 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003958 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that

Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003960 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003961
3962 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx

3964 be touched.
3965
3966 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3967 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,

3999
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06004000- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
4001 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
4002 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
4003 will become available before relocation. The address is just
4004 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
4005 space.
4006
4007 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
4008 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
4009 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004010 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06004011 U-Boot relocates itself.
4012
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06004013 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06004014 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
4015
Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07004016- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
4017 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
4018 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
4019 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
4020
Thierry Reding1dfdd9b2014-12-09 22:25:22 -07004021- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
4022 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
4023 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
4024 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
4025 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
4026 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
4027 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
4028 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
4029 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
4030 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
4031 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
4032 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
4033 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
4034 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
4035 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
4036 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
4037
4038 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
4039
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004040- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004041 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
4042 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004043 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01004044 to adjust this setting to your needs.
4045
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004046- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004047 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of

4050 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004051 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004052 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004053 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004054 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4055 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4056 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

4091 instead of U-Boot software protection.
4092
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004093- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004094
4095 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4096 without this option such a download has to be
4097 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4098 copy from RAM to flash.
4099
4100 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4101 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004102 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4103 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004104 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4105

4128 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4129 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4130 optionally available.
4131
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05004132- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS

4136
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02004137- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4138 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4139 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4140 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4141 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4142 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4143 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4144 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4145
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004146- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004147 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4148 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004149 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4150 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004151 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004152 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

4206 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4207 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4208 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4209 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4210 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4211 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4212 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4213 your board please report the problem and send patches!

Lokesh Vutla0b1b60c2013-04-17 20:49:40 +00004215- CONFIG_OMAP_PLATFORM_RESET_TIME_MAX_USEC (OMAP only)
4216 This is set by OMAP boards for the max time that reset should
4217 be asserted. See doc/README.omap-reset-time for details on how
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004218 the value can be calculated on a given board.

Gabe Black0d296cc2014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004220- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4221 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4222 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4223 building U-Boot to enable this.
4224
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004225The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4226of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4227following configurations:
4228
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004229- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4230
4231 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4232 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4233
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004234- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004235
4236 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4237
4238 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4239 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4240 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4241 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4242 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4243 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4244 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4245 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4246 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4247 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4248 between U-Boot and the environment.
4249
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004250 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004251
4252 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4253 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4254 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4255 for this sector is given here.
4256
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004257 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004258
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004259 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004260
4261 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4262 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004263 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004264
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004265 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004266
4267 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4268
4269
4270 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4271 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4272 the environment.
4273
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004274 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004275
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004276 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004277 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004278 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4279 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4280
4281 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4282 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4283 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4284 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4285 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4286 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4287 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4288 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4289 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4290
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004291 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4292 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004293
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004294 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004295 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004296 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004297 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004298
4299BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4300source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4301accordingly!
4302
4303
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004304- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004305
4306 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4307 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4308 environment.
4309
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004310 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4311 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004312
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004313 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004314 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4315 can just be read and written to, without any special
4316 provision.
4317
4318BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004319in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004320console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004321U-Boot will hang.
4322
4323Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4324environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4325keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4326to save the current settings.
4327
4328
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004329- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004330
4331 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4332 device and a driver for it.
4333
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004334 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4335 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004336
4337 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4338 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4339
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004340 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004341 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4342 The default address is zero.
4343
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004344 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004345 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4346 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4347 would require six bits.
4348
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004349 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004350 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004351 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004352
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004353 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004354 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4355 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4356
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004357 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004358 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4359 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4360 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4361 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4362 byte chips.
4363
4364 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4365 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4366 in the chip address.
4367
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004368 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004369 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4370
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004371 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4372 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4373 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4374
4375 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4376 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4377 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4378 EEPROM. For example:
4379
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004380 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004381
4382 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4383 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004384

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00004387 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004388 want to use for the environment.
4389
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004390 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:

4392 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004393
4394 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4395 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4396 at the specified address.
4397
Wu, Joshbd83b592014-07-01 19:30:13 +08004398- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4399
4400 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4401 want to use for the environment.
4402
4403 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4404 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4405
4406 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4407 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4408 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4409
4410 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4411
4412 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4413
4414 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4415
4416 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4417 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4418 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4419 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4420 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4421
4422 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4423 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4424
4425 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4426
4427 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4428
4429 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4430
4431 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4432
4433 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4434
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004435- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4436
4437 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4438 want to use for the local device's environment.
4439
4440 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4441 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4442
4443 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4444 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4445 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004446 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004447
4448BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4449"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004450environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4451but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD51bfee12008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004453- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004454
4455 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4456 for the environment.

4459 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004460
4461 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004462 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4463 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004467 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004468 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4469 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004470 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004471 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004472
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004473 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4474
4475 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4476 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4477 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4478 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4479 the range to be avoided.
4480
4481 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4482
4483 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4484 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4485 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4486 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4487 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004488
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004489- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4490
4491 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4492 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4493 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4494
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004495- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4496
4497 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4498 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4499 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4500
4501 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4502
4503 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4504
4505 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4506
4507 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4508 environment in.

Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004510 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4511
4512 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4513 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4514 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4515
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004516 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4517 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4518
4519 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4520 when storing the env in UBI.
4521
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004522- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4523 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4524
4525 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4526
4527 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4528
4529 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4530
4531 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4532 be as following:
4533
4534 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4535 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4536 partition table.
4537 - "D:0": device D.
4538 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4539 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4540 table.
4541 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004542 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004543 partition table then means device D.
4544
4545 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4546
4547 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004548 environment.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004549
4550 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004551 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004552
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004553- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4554
4555 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4556 environment.
4557
4558 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4559
4560 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4561
4562 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4563
4564 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4565 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4566 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4567
4568 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4569 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4570
4571 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4572 area within the specified MMC device.
4573
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004574 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4575 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4576 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4577 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4578 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4579 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4580 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4581
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004582 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4583 MMC sector boundary.
4584
4585 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4586
4587 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4588 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4589 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4590 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4591
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004592 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4593 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4594
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004595 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4596 an MMC sector boundary.
4597
4598 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4599
4600 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4601 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4602 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4603
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004604- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004605
4606 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4607 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4608 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4609 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4610 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4611 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4612 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4613
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004614Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004615has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004616created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004617until then to read environment variables.
4618
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004619The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4620is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4621with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4622necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4623"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4624have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004625
4626Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4627the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004628use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004632
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004633 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004634 also needs to be defined.
4635
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004636- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004638
Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004639- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4640 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4641 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4642 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4643 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4644 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4645
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004646- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4647 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4648 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4649 to do this.
4650
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004651- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4652 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4653 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4654 present.
4655
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004656- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4657 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4658 build system checks that the actual size does not
4659 exceed it.

4666
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004667- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004669
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004670 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4671 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4672 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004674- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4675 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4676 PowerPC SOCs.
4677
4678- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4679 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4680 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4681
4682 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4683 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4684
4685- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4686 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4687 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004688 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004689 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4690 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4691 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4692
4693 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4694 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4695
4696- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004697 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4698 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004699 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4700 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4701
4702- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4703 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4704 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4705 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4706
4707- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4708 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4709 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004923- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4924 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4925
4926- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4927 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004928 to the given FEC; i. e.
4929 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004930 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4931
4932 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4933
4934- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR

Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004972 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004973 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4974 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4975 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004976
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004977 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4978 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4979 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4980 these initializations itself.

4995 previous 4k of the .text section.
4996
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004997- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4998 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4999 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
5000 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
5001 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
5002 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
5003 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
5004 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().

Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00005006- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
5007 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
5008 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
5009 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
5010 conditions but may increase the binary size.
5011
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00005012- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
5013 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not

5031
5032The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
5033loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
5034This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5035are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5036within that device.

5046 is also specified.
5047
5048- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5049 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5050 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5051 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5052 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5053
5054- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5055 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5056 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5057 virtual address in NOR flash.

5063- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
5064 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
5065 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
5066
5067- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
5068 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
5069 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.

Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00005071- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
5072 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
5073 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00005074 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
5075 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in

5079---------------------------------------------------------
5080The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5081"firmware".
5082This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5083are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5084within that device.
5085
5086- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5087 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5088
5089- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5090 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
5091 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5092 is also specified.
5093
5094- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5095 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5096 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5097 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5098 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5099
5100- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5101 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5102 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the

5106======================
5107
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005108Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5109and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5110all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5111(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5112recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5113which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005114
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005115If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5116have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5117you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5118Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5119necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005120
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005121 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5122 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005123
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05005124Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5125 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5126 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5127 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5128
5129 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5130
5131 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5132 be executed on computers running Windows.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005134U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5135sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005136is done by typing:
5137
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005138 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005139
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005140where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005141rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005142
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005143Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5144 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5145 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5146 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005147 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005148
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005149 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005150 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005151
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005152 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005153 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005154
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005155 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005156
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005157
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005158Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5159images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005160
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005161- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5162- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5163- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005164
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005165By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5166in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5167this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5168
51691. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5170
5171 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005172 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005173 make O=/tmp/build all
5174
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +020051752. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005176
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005177 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005178 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005179 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005180 make all
5181
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005182Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005183variable.
5184
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005185
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005186Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5187for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5188native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005189
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005190
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005191If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5192to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5193steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005194
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051951. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005196 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5197 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051982. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5199 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5200 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
52013. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5202 your board
52033. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5204 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020052054. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000052065. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5207 to be installed on your target system.
52086. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5209 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005212Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5213==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005214
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005215If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5216or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005217provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5218the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005219official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005220
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005221But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5222cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005223the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5224just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005225for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5226select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5227environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5228you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005229
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005230 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005231
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005232or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005233
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005234 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005235
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005236When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5237U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5238setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5239built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5240<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5241location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5242variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005243
5244 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5245 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5246 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5247
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005248With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5249log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5250during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005313Environment Variables:
5314======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005315
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005316U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5317can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005318
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005319Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5320"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5321without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5322environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5323working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5324environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005338 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005339
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005340 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5341 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5342 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5343 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5344 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5345 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005346 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5347 bootm_mapsize.
5348
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005349 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005350 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5351 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5352 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5353 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5354 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5355 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005356
5357 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5358 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5359 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5360 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5361 environment variable.

5364 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5365 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5366
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005367 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5368 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5369 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5370 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005371
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005372 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5373 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5374 be automatically started (by internally calling
5375 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005376
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005377 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5378 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5379 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5380 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5381 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005382
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005383 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5384 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005385 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5386 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5387 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5388 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5389 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5390 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5391 access it during the boot procedure.
5392
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005393 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5394 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5395 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5396 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5397 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5398 must be accessible by the kernel.
5399
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005400 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5401 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5402 defined.
5403
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005404 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5405 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5406 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5407 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5408 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5409
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005410 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5411 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5412 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5413 is usually what you want since it allows for
5414 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5415 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005416 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005417 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5418 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5419 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5420 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005421
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005422 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5423 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5424 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5425 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5426 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5427 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005428
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005429 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005430
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005431 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5432 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5433 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5434 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5435 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5436 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5437 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005456 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5457 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005458
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005459 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005464 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5465 available network interfaces.
5466 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5467
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005468 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005469 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5470 When set to "once" the network operation will
5471 fail when all the available network interfaces
5472 are tried once without success.
5473 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5474 themselves.

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005478 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005479 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5480 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5481 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5482 is silent.
5483
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005484 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's

5486
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005487 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5488 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5489
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005490 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5491 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5492
5493 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5494 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5495 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5496 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5497 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5498 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5499 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5500
5501 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005502 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005505The following image location variables contain the location of images
5506used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5507not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5508variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5509server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5510loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5511flash or offset in NAND flash.
5512
5513*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5514boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5515boards use these variables for other purposes.

5531 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5532 hostname - Target hostname
5533 ipaddr - see above

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005539There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005540
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005541 serial# - contains hardware identification information such

5543 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005544
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005545These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5546the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5547once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005548
5549
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005550Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005551
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005552 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5553 with the "version" command. This variable is

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005561Callback functions for environment variables:
5562---------------------------------------------
5563
5564For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005565when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005566be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5567deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5568effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5569
5570The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5571U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5572
5573These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5574static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5575in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5576associations. The list must be in the following format:
5577
5578 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5579 list = entry[,list]
5580
5581If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5582Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5583
5584Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5585with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5586override any association in the static list. You can define
5587CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005588".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005594There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5595the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005600- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5601- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005602- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005603- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5604 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005605 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005606- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5607 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'

5613 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5614 until...do...done, ...
5615- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5616 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5617 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5618 command

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005623(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5624 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5625 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5626 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005627
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005628(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005629 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005630 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5631 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005633Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5634=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005635
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005636Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005637such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5638"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005639
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005640Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5641MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5642"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005643
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005644If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5645in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5646ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5647variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005648
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005649o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5650 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005651
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005652o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5653 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5654 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005655
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005656o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5657 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005658
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005659o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5660 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5661 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005662

Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005675U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5676images in two formats:
5677
5678New uImage format (FIT)
5679-----------------------
5680
5681Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5682to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5683components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5684SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5685
5686
5687Old uImage format
5688-----------------
5689
5690Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5691preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5692details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005713Linux Support:
5714==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005715
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005716Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5717easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5718U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005719
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005720U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5721special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5722"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5723instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5724serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005725
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005726- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5727 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5728 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005729
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005730- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5731 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005732
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005733- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5734 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5735 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5736 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5737 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5738 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005739

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005741Linux HOWTO:
5742============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005743
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005744Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5745---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005746
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005747U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5748configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5749(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5750Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005751
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005752But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005753
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005754Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5755include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005756Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5757and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005758as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005759
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005760Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5761If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5762is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5763doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005765
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005766Configuring the Linux kernel:
5767-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005768
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005769No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5770device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005771
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005772
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005773Building a Linux Image:
5774-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005775
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005776With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5777not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5778"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5779U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5780which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5781100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005782
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005783Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005784
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005785 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005786 make oldconfig
5787 make dep
5788 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005789
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005790The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5791encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5792CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005793
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005794* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005795
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005796* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005797
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005798 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5799 -R .note -R .comment \
5800 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005801
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005802* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005803
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005804 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005805
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005806* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005807
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005808 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5809 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5810 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005811
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005812
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005813The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5814with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5815combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5816byte header containing information about target architecture,
5817operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5818stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005819
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005820"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5821print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005822
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005823In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5824contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5825checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005826
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005827 tools/mkimage -l image
5828 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005829
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005830The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5831from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005832
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005833 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5834 -n name -d data_file image
5835 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5836 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5837 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5838 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5839 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5840 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5841 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5842 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005843
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005844Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5845address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5846kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005847
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005848- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5849- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005850
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005851So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005852

wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005918
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005919To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5920you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005921
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005922 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005923
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005924The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5925image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5926address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5927specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5928command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006096More About U-Boot Image Types:
6097------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006098
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006099U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006100
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006101 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6102 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6103 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6104 the Standalone Program.
6105 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6106 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6107 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6108 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6109 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6110 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6111 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6112 being started.
6113 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6114 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6115 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6116 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6117 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6118 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006119
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006120 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6121 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6122 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6123 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6124 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6125 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006126
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006127 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6128 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6129 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006130
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006131 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6132 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6133 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6134 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006136Booting the Linux zImage:
6137-------------------------
6138
6139On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6140using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6141as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6142
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006143Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006144kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6145address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6146format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006151
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006152One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6153run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6154U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006155

6162application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6163It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6164like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006190Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6191handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6192Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6193The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6194character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6195controlled by the following keys:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006260
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006261Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6262(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006263
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006264Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6265NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6266need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6267Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6268attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6269missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006270
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006271 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6272 # mkdir powerpc
6273 # ln -s powerpc machine
6274 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6275 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006276
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006277Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6278and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006279
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006280Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6281stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6282proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6283tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6288=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006289
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006290The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6291implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6292inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6293hardware.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006296Initial Stack, Global Data:
6297---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006298
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006299The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6300starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6301system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6302This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6303is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6304at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6305options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6306models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6307MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6308locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006309
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006310 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006318 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6319 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6320 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6321 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6322 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006323 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006324 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6325 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006327 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6328 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006329 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006330 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6331 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6332 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6333 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006334
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006335 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006336 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6337 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006338 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006339 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6340 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6341 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6342 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6343 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006348It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6349code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006350
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006351* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6352 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006353
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006354* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006355 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6356 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006357
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006358* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6359 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006360
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006361Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006362normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006363turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6364simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6365functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6366functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6367the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6368place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6369reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006370
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006371When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6372relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6373GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006374
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006375For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6376 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006377 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006378 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6379 R5-R10: parameter passing
6380 R13: small data area pointer
6381 R30: GOT pointer
6382 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006383
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006384 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6385 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6386 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006390 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6391 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6392 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6393 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6394 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6395 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006443Memory Management:
6444------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006445
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006446U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6447MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006448
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006449The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6450controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6451memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6452physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006453
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006454U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6455TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6456booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6457to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006458memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006459configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6460Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006461
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006462Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6463of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006464
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006465So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6466this:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006488System Initialization:
6489----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006490
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006491In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006492(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006493configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006494To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6495To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6496initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6497which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6498part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6499the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006500
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006501Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6502preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6503(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6504on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6505programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6506simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6507banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006508
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006509When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6510different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6511bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
65120x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6513contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006514
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006515Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6516and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6517Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6518pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006519
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006520Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6521until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6522running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6523new address in RAM.

6601-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006602
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006603All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006604coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006605"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006606
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006607Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6608MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006609reformatted to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006610sources.
6611
6612Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6613Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6614in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006615
6616Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6617- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006618- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006619- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006620- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006621- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6622
6623Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6624with a request to reformat the changes.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006629
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006630Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6631establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6632may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006636Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6637see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6638
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006639When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6640it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006641
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006642* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6643 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6644 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006645
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006646* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6647 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006648
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006649* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6650
6651* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6652
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006653* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6654 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006655
6656* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6657 document these in the README file.
6658
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006659* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6660 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006661 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006662 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6663 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006664
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006665 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6666 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6667 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006668
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006669 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6670 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6671 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6672 affected files).
6673
6674 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6675 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006676
6677* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6678 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6679
6680* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6681 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6682
6683
6684Notes:
6685
6686* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6687 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6688 for any of the boards.
6689
6690* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6691 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6692 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6693
6694* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6695 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6696 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6697 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6698 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6699 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006700
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006701* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6702 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6703 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6704 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
