8Summary:
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=======
32
33In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000035"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000172Software Configuration:
173=======================
174
175Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
176rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
177
178There are two classes of configuration variables:
179
180* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
181 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
182 "CONFIG_".
183
184* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
185 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
186 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200187 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000188
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500189Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
190symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
191U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
192allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
193build.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000194
195
196Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
197---------------------------------------------------
198
199For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200200configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000201
202Example: For a TQM823L module type:
203
204 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200205 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000206
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500207Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
208you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
209doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000210
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600211Sandbox Environment:
212--------------------
213
214U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
215board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
216specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
217run some of U-Boot's tests.
218
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530219See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

221
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700222Board Initialisation Flow:
223--------------------------
224
225This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500226SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700227
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500228Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
229more detail later in this file.
230
231At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
232and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
233may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
234CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
235
236Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
237CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
238
239 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
240 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
241 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
242
243and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
244limitations of each of these functions are described below.
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700245
246lowlevel_init():
247 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
248 - no global_data or BSS
249 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
250 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
251 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
252 board_init_f()
253 - this is almost never needed
254 - return normally from this function
255
256board_init_f():
257 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
258 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
259 - global_data is available
260 - stack is in SRAM
261 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
262 only stack variables and global_data
263
264 Non-SPL-specific notes:
265 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
266 can do nothing
267
268 SPL-specific notes:
269 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
270 version as needed.
271 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
272 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
273 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
274 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
275 directly)
276
277Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
278this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
279CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
280memory.
281
282board_init_r():
283 - purpose: main execution, common code
284 - global_data is available
285 - SDRAM is available
286 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
287 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
288
289 Non-SPL-specific notes:
290 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
291 there.
292
293 SPL-specific notes:
294 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
295 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
296 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
297 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
298 spl_board_init() function containing this call
299 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000303Configuration Options:
304----------------------
305
306Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
307such information is kept in a configuration file
308"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
309
310Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
311"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
312
313
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000314Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
315kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
316build a config tool - later.
317
318
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000319The following options need to be configured:
320
Kim Phillips26281142007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500321- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000322
Kim Phillips26281142007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500323- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.
Wolfgang Denk6ccec442006-10-24 14:42:37 +0200324
325- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
Haavard Skinnemoen09ea0de2007-11-01 12:44:20 +0100326 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000327
Lei Wencf946c62011-02-09 18:06:58 +0530328- Marvell Family Member
329 CONFIG_SYS_MVFS - define it if you want to enable
330 multiple fs option at one time
331 for marvell soc family
332
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200333- 8xx CPU Options: (if using an MPC8xx CPU)
wdenk66ca92a2004-09-28 17:59:53 +0000334 CONFIG_8xx_GCLK_FREQ - deprecated: CPU clock if
335 get_gclk_freq() cannot work
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000336 e.g. if there is no 32KHz

Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600691 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
692
693 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
694 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
695 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
696 the kernel.

Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200698 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
699
700 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
701 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
702 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
703 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
704 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
705 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.

Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000707 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
708
709 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
710 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
711 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
712 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
713 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
714 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
715 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.

719 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
Bin Meng9e98b7e2015-10-07 20:19:17 -0700720 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
721 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
Niklaus Giger0b2f4ec2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100722 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
723
Niklaus Giger0b2f4ec2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100724 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
725 the defaults discussed just above.

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100832- Console Rx buffer length
833 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
834 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100835 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100836 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
837 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
838 the SMC.
839
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000840- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200841 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
842 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
843 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
844 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
845 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
846 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
847 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200848 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200849 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000850
Hans de Goedea8552c72015-05-05 13:13:36 +0200851 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
852 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
853
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200854 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
855 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000857- Autoboot Command:
858 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
859 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
860 define a command string that is automatically executed
861 when no character is read on the console interface
862 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
863
864 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000865 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
866 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
867 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000868
869 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000870 The value of these goes into the environment as
871 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
872 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200873 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000874
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100875- Bootcount:
876 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
877 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
878 cycle, see:
879 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
880
881 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
882 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
883 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
884 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
885 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
886 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
887 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
888 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
889 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
890
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000891- Pre-Boot Commands:
892 CONFIG_PREBOOT
893
894 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
895 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
896 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
897 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
898 entering interactive mode.
899
900 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
901 automatically generated or modified. For an example
902 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
903 modified when the user holds down a certain
904 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
905 booting the systems
906
907- Serial Download Echo Mode:
908 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
909 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
910 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
911 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
912 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
913 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
914 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500922 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
923 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000924 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
Joe Hershbergeref0f2f52015-06-22 16:15:30 -0500925 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.

1039 support you can write:
1040
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001041 #include "config_cmd_all.h"
1042 #undef CONFIG_CMD_NET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001043
Gerald Van Baren213bf8c2007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001044 Other Commands:
1045 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001046
1047 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001048 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001049 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1050 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1051 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1052 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1053 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1054 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001055
1056
1057 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1058
Simon Glass302a6482016-03-13 19:07:28 -06001059- Removal of commands
1060 If no commands are needed to boot, you can disable
1061 CONFIG_CMDLINE to remove them. In this case, the command line
1062 will not be available, and when U-Boot wants to execute the
1063 boot command (on start-up) it will call board_run_command()
1064 instead. This can reduce image size significantly for very
1065 simple boot procedures.
1066
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001067- Regular expression support:
1068 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001069 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1070 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1071 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1072 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001073
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001074- Device tree:
1075 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1076 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1077 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1078 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1079 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1080 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1081
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001082 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1083 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001084
1085 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1086 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1087 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1088 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1089 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1090 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001091
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001092 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1093 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1094 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1095 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1096
1097 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1098
1099 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1100 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1101 still use the individual files if you need something more
1102 exotic.
1103
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001104- Watchdog:
1105 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1106 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001107 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1108 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1109 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1110 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1111 available, then no further board specific code should
1112 be needed to use it.
1113
1114 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1115 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1116 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1117 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001118
Heiko Schocher7bae0d62015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001119 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1120 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1121
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001122- U-Boot Version:
1123 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1124 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1125 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1126 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001127 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1128 next reset.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001129
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001130- Real-Time Clock:
1131
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001132 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001133 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1134 following options:
1135
1136 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1137 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001138 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001139 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1cb8e982003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001140 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001141 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk7f70e852003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001142 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel412921d2014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001143 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenk3bac3512003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001144 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krill9536dfc2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001145 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenk4c0d4c32004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001146 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001147 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001148 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1149 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001150
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001151 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1152 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1153
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001154- GPIO Support:
1155 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001156
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001157 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1158 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1159 pins supported by a particular chip.
1160
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001161 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1162 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1163
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001164- I/O tracing:
1165 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1166 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1167 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1168 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1169 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1170 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1171 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1172 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1173
1174 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1175 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1176 still continue to operate.
1177
1178 iotrace is enabled
1179 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1180 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1181 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1182 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1183 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1184 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1185
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001186- Timestamp Support:
1187
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001188 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1189 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1190 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001191 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001192
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001193- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1194 Zero or more of the following:
1195 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1196 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1197 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1198 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1199 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1200 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1201 disk/part_efi.c
1202 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001203
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001204 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
Simon Glassc649e3c2016-05-01 11:36:02 -06001205 CONFIG_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001206 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001207
1208- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001209 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1210 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001211
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001212 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1213 be performed by calling the function
1214 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1215 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001216
1217- ATAPI Support:
1218 CONFIG_ATAPI
1219
1220 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1221
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001222- LBA48 Support
1223 CONFIG_LBA48
1224
1225 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher4b142fe2009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001226 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001227 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1228 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1229
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001230 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001231 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1232 Default is 32bit.
1233
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001234- SCSI Support:
1235 At the moment only there is only support for the
1236 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1237 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1238
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001239 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1240 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1241 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001242 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1243 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001244 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)

1570
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001571 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1572 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1573 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1574 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1575 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1576
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001577 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1578 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1579 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1580 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1581 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1582 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1583
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001584 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1585 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1586 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1587 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1588
1589 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1590 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1591 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1592 sending again an USB request to the device.

1597
Sebastian Siewior3aab70a2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001598 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1599 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1600 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1601 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1602 used on Android devices.
1603 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1604
1605 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1606 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1607 image format header.
1608
Paul Kocialkowskia588d992015-07-20 12:38:22 +02001609 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
Sebastian Siewior3aab70a2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001610 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1611 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1612 downloaded images.
1613
Paul Kocialkowskia588d992015-07-20 12:38:22 +02001614 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
Sebastian Siewior3aab70a2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001615 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1616 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1617 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1618
Steve Raed1b5ed02014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001619 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1620 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1621 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1622 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1623
1624 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1625 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1626 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1627 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1628
Steve Rae0ff7e582014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001629 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1630 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1631 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1632 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1633 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1634 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1635 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
Petr Kulhavy6f6c8632016-09-09 10:27:18 +02001636 The default is "gpt" if undefined.
Steve Rae0ff7e582014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001637
Petr Kulhavyb6dd69a2016-09-09 10:27:16 +02001638 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_MBR_NAME
1639 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1640 image to DOS MBR.
1641 This occurs when the "partition name" specified on the
1642 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1643 If not defined the default value "mbr" is used.

Wolfgang Denk04e5ae72011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001727 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001728 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1729 support, and should also define these other macros:

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001797 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1798
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001799 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001800 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1801 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1802 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1803 a per-section basis.
1804
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001805 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1806
1807 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1808 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1809 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1810 is slow.
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001811
Hannes Petermaier604c7d42015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001812 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1813
1814 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1815 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1816 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1817 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1818 printed out.
1819 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1820 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1821 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1822 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1823 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1824 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1825 1 = 90 degree rotation
1826 2 = 180 degree rotation
1827 3 = 270 degree rotation
1828
1829 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1830 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1831
Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001832 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8

1835
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001836 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1837
1838 Enables an 'i2c edid' command which can read EDID
1839 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1840
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001841- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001842
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001843 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1844 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1845 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001846 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001847 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1848 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1849 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1850 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001851
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001852 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1853
1854 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1855 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Fabio Estevamab5645f2016-03-23 12:46:12 -03001856 (see doc/README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001857 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1858 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1859 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1860 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1861 there is no need to set this option.
1862
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001863 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1864
1865 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1866 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1867 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1868 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1869 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1870 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1871
1872 Example:
1873 setenv splashpos m,m
1874 => image at center of screen
1875
1876 setenv splashpos 30,20
1877 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1878
1879 setenv splashpos -10,m
1880 => vertically centered image
1881 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1882
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001883- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1884
1885 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1886 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1887 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1888
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001889- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1890
1891 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1892 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1893 bmp command.
1894
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001895- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001896 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1897
1898 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1899 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1900
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001901- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001902 CONFIG_GZIP
1903
1904 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1905
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001906 CONFIG_BZIP2
1907
1908 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1909 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1910 compressed images are supported.
1911
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001912 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001913 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001914 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001915
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001916 CONFIG_LZMA
1917
1918 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1919 images is included.
1920
1921 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1922 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1923 formula:
1924
1925 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1926
1927 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1928 and Literal pos bits.
1929
1930 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1931 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1932 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1933 a very small buffer.

2010 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2011 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002012 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002013 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2014 multicast group.
2015
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002016- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2017 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2018
2019 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2020 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2021 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2022 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2023 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2024 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2025 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2026 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002027 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002028
2029 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2030 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2031 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2032 4th and following
2033 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2034
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002035 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2036
2037 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2038 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2039 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2040 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2041 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2042 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2043 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2044 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2045 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2046 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2047 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2048 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2049 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2050 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2051 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002071 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2072 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002073
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002074 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2075 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2076 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2077 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2078 is not available.
2079
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002080 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2081 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2082 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2083 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2084 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2085 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2086 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002087 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002088
2089 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2090 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2091 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002092 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002093 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2094 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002096 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2097
2098 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2099 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2100 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2101 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2102 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2103 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2104 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2105 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2106 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2107 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2108 this delay.
2109
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002110 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2111 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2112 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2113 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2114 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002160- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2161
2162 Several configurations allow to display the current
2163 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2164 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2165 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2166 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2167 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2168 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2169 feature in U-Boot.
2170
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002171 Additional options:
2172
2173 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2174 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2175 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2176 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2177 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2178
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002179 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2180 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2181 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2182 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2183 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2184 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2185
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002186- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002378- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002379
2380 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2381 provides the following compelling advantages:
2382
2383 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2384 - approved multibus support
2385 - better i2c mux support
2386
2387 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2388
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002389 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2390 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2391 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002392
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002393 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002394 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002395 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2396 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002397 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002398
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002399 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002400
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002401 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002402 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002403
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002404 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002405 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002406 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002407 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002408
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002409 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002410 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002411 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2412 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2413 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002414
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002415 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2416
2417 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2418 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2419 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2420 commands until the slave device responds.
2421
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002422 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002423
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002424 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002425 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2426 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002427
2428 I2C_INIT
2429
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002430 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002431 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002432
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002433 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002435 I2C_PORT
2436
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002437 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2438 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2439 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002440
2441 I2C_ACTIVE
2442
2443 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2444 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2445 define can be null.
2446
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002447 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2448
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002449 I2C_TRISTATE
2450
2451 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2452 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2453 define can be null.
2454
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002455 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2456
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002457 I2C_READ
2458
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002459 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2460 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002461
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002462 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2463
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002464 I2C_SDA(bit)
2465
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002466 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2467 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002468
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002469 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002473 I2C_SCL(bit)
2474
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002475 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2476 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002477

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002482 I2C_DELAY
2483
2484 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2485 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002486 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002487 like:
2488
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002489 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002490
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002491 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2492
2493 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2494 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2495 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2496 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2497
2498 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2499 the generic GPIO functions.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002501 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002502
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002503 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2504 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2505 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2506 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2507 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2508 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2509 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2510 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002511
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002512 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2513
2514 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2515 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2516 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2517 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2518 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2519 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2520 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2521 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2522
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002523 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2524
2525 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2526 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2527 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2528
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002529 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2530
2531 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002532 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2533 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002534 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2535
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002536 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002537
2538 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002539 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002540 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2541 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002542
2543 e.g.
2544 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002545 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}

2699
2700 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2701 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2702 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2703 special image will be automatically built upon calling
Simon Glass6de80f22016-07-27 20:33:08 -06002704 make / buildman.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002706 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002708 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2709 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002710
2711- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2712
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002713 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2714 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002715 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002716 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2717 protects these variables from casual modification by
2718 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2719 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002720 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002721
2722 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2723 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002724 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002725 these parameters.
2726
Joe Hershberger92ac5202015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002727 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2728 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002729 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002730 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2731 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2732 read-only.]
2733
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002734 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2735 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2736 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2737 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2738
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002739- Protected RAM:
2740 CONFIG_PRAM
2741
2742 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2743 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2744 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2745 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2746 this default value by defining an environment
2747 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2748 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2749 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2750 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2751 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2752 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2753 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2754
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002755 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002756 saveenv
2757
2758 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2759 either, which results in a memory region that will
2760 not be affected by reboots.
2761
2762 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2763 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2764 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2765 following board configurations are known to be
2766 "pRAM-clean":
2767

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002772- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2773 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2774 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2775 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2776 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2777 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2778 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2779
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002780- Error Recovery:
2781 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2782
2783 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2784 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2785 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002786 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002787 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2788 useful during development since you can try to debug
2789 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2790
2791 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2792
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002793 This variable defines the number of retries for
2794 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2795 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2796 default value of 5 is used.

2801
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002802 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2803
2804 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2805 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2806 try longer timeout such as
2807 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002814 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002815
2816 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2817 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2818 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2819
2820 Note:
2821
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002822 In the current implementation, the local variables
2823 space and global environment variables space are
2824 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2825 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2826 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2827 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2828 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002829
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002830 Global environment variables are those you use
2831 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2832 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2833 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002834
2835 To store commands and special characters in a
2836 variable, please use double quotation marks
2837 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2838 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2839 symbols.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002862 For example, place something like this in your
2863 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002864
2865 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2866 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2867 "myvar2=value2\0"
2868
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002869 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2870 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2871 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2872 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002873 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002874 You better know what you are doing here.
2875
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002876 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2877 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002878 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002879 boot command first.

Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002881 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2882
2883 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2884 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2885 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2886
2887 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2888
2889 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2890 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2891 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2892 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2893 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2894
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002895 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2896
2897 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2898 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2899 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2900
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002901 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2902
2903 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002904 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002905 that so that the environment is not available until
2906 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2907 this is instead controlled by the value of
2908 /config/load-environment.
2909
Chris Packham3b10cf12015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002910- Parallel Flash support:
2911 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2912
Bin Menga1875592016-02-05 19:30:11 -08002913 Traditionally U-Boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
Chris Packham3b10cf12015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002914 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2915 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2916 parallel flash.
2917
2918 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2919 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2920 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2921 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2922
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002923- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002924 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2925
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002926 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2927 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2928 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002929
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002930- Serial Flash support
2931 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2932
2933 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2934 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2935
2936 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2937 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2938 commands.
2939
2940 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2941 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2942 flash is present on the system.
2943
2944 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2945 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2946 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2947 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2948
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002949 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2950
2951 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2952 test ('sf test').
2953
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302954 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2955
2956 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2957 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002958 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302959
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002960- SystemACE Support:
2961 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2962
2963 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2964 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002965 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002966 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002967
2968 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002969 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002970
2971 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2972 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2973
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002974- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2975 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2976
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002977 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002978 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002979 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002980 number generator is used.
2981
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002982 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
2983 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
2984 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
2985
2986 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002987 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
2988 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
2989 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
2990 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
2991 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
2992 but sometimes that is not allowed.
2993
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00002994- Hashing support:
2995 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
2996
2997 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
2998 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
2999
3000 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3001
3002 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3003 size a little.
3004
gaurav rana94e3c8c2015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303005 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3006 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3007 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3008 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3009 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3010 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3011 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3012 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3013 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3014 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3015 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3016 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003017
3018 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3019 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3020
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003021- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3022 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3023 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3024 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3025
3026 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3027 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3028 a boot from specific media.
3029
3030 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3031 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3032 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3033 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3034 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3035
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003036- bootcount support:
3037 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3038
3039 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3040 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3041
3042 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3043 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3044 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3045 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3046 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3047 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3048 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3049 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3050 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3051 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3052 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3053 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3054 the bootcounter.
3055 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

3059
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003060 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3061 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3062 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3063 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3064 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,

3226 enabled if CONFIG_FIT_SIGNATURE is not defined.
3227
3228 CONFIG_DISABLE_IMAGE_LEGACY
3229 disable the legacy image format
3230
3231 This define is introduced, as the legacy image format is

3244 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
3245
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003246 This option defines a board specific value for the
3247 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3248 overwriting the architecture dependent default
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02003249 settings.
3250
3251- Frame Buffer Address:

3256 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3257 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3258 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3259 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3260 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3261 configured panel size.

3273- MTD Support (mtdparts command, UBI support)
3274 CONFIG_MTD_DEVICE
3275
3276 Adds the MTD device infrastructure from the Linux kernel.
3277 Needed for mtdparts command support.
3278
3279 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS
3280
3281 Adds the MTD partitioning infrastructure from the Linux
3282 kernel. Needed for UBI support.
3283
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003284- UBI support
3285 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3286
3287 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3288 with the UBI flash translation layer
3289
3290 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3291
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003292 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3293
3294 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3295 warnings and errors enabled.
3296
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003297
3298 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3299 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3300 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3301 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3302 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3303 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3304
3305 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3306 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3307 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3308 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3309 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3310
3311 default: 4096
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003312
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003313 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3314 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3315 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3316 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3317 flash), this value is ignored.
3318
3319 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3320 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3321 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3322 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3323 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3324 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3325
3326 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3327 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3328 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3329 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3330 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3331 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3332 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3333 partition.
3334
3335 default: 20
3336
3337 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3338 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3339 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3340 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3341 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3342 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3343 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3344 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3345 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3346 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3347 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3348 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3349
3350 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3351 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3352 without a fastmap.
3353 default: 0
3354
Heiko Schocher0195a7b2015-10-22 06:19:21 +02003355 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3356 Enable UBI fastmap debug
3357 default: 0
3358
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003359- UBIFS support
3360 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3361
3362 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3363 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3364
3365 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3366
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003367 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)8c80eb32015-03-31 11:40:50 +02003412 CONFIG_SPL_PANIC_ON_RAW_IMAGE
3413 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3414 loaded does not have a signature.
3415 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3416 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3417 will be caught.
3418 An example is the LPC32XX MLC NAND driver, which will
3419 consider that a completely unreadable NAND block is bad,
3420 and thus should be skipped silently.

3561 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3562 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3563 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3564 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003588- Interrupt support (PPC):
3589
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003590 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3591 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003592 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003593 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003594 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003595 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003596 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003597 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3598 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3599 general timer_interrupt().

3604
3605During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3606to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3607before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3608following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3609architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3610typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

3670
York Sune8149522015-12-04 11:57:07 -08003671- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE
York Sune61a7532016-06-24 16:46:18 -07003672 Only implemented for ARMv8 for now.
York Sune8149522015-12-04 11:57:07 -08003673 If defined, the size of CONFIG_SYS_MEM_RESERVE_SECURE memory
3674 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3675 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
York Sune61a7532016-06-24 16:46:18 -07003676 gd->arch.secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
York Sune8149522015-12-04 11:57:07 -08003677 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3678 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.
3679
York Sunaabd7dd2015-12-07 11:05:29 -08003680- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003681 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003682 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003683 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003684 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3685 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3686 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003687 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003688 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003689 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003690
3691 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3692 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3693 be touched.
3694
3695 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3696 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3697 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3698 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3699 problems.
3700
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003701- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

3703
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003704- CONFIG_SYS_SDRAM_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003705 Physical start address of SDRAM. _Must_ be 0 here.
3706
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003707- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:

3709
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003710- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003711 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3712 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk14d0a022010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003713 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003714 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003715
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003716- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003717 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3718 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3719 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3720 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003721
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003722- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003723 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3724
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003725- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3726 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3727 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3728 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3729 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3730 space.
3731
3732 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3733 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3734 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003735 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003736 U-Boot relocates itself.
3737
Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07003738- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3739 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3740 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3741 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3742
Thierry Reding1dfdd9b2014-12-09 22:25:22 -07003743- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3744 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3745 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3746 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3747 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3748 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3749 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3750 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3751 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3752 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3753 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3754 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3755 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3756 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3757 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3758 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3759
3760 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3761
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003762- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003763 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3764 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003765 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003766 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3767
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003768- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003769 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3770 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003771 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3772 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003773 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003774 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003775 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003776 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3777 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3778 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003779
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003780- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3781 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3782 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3783 is enabled.
3784
3785- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3786 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3787 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003812 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3813 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3814
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003815- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003816
3817 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3818 without this option such a download has to be
3819 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3820 copy from RAM to flash.
3821
3822 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3823 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003824 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3825 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003826 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3827
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003828- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003836- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3837 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3838 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3839 to the MTD layer.
3840
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003841- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003849 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3850 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3851 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3852 optionally available.
3853
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003854- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3855 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3856 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3857 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3858
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003859- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3860 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3861 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3862 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3863 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3864 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3865 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3866 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3867
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003868- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003869 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3870 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003871 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3872 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003873 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003874 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003886 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003887 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3888 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3889 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3890
3891 The format of the list is:

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003914 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003915
3916 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
3917 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
3918 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
3919 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
3920 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
3921 ".flags" variable.
3922
Joe Hershbergerbdf1fe42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05003923 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
3924 regular expression. This allows multiple variables to define the same
3925 flags without explicitly listing them for each variable.

Gabe Black0d296cc2014-10-15 04:38:30 -06003936- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
3937 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
3938 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
3939 building U-Boot to enable this.
3940
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003941The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
3942of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
3943following configurations:
3944
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00003945- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
3946
3947 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
3948 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
3949
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003950- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003951
3952 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
3953
3954 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
3955 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
3956 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
3957 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
3958 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
3959 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
3960 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
3961 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
3962 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
3963 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
3964 between U-Boot and the environment.
3965
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003966 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003967
3968 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
3969 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
3970 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
3971 for this sector is given here.
3972
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003973 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003974
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003975 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003976
3977 This is just another way to specify the start address of
3978 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003979 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003980
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003981 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003982
3983 Size of the sector containing the environment.
3984
3985
3986 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
3987 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
3988 the environment.
3989
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003990 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003991
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02003992 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02003993 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003994 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
3995 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
3996
3997 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
3998 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
3999 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4000 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4001 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4002 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4003 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4004 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4005 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4006
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004007 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4008 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004009
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004010 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004011 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004012 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004013 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004014
4015BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4016source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4017accordingly!
4018
4019
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004020- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004021
4022 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4023 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4024 environment.
4025
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004026 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4027 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004028
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004029 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004030 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4031 can just be read and written to, without any special
4032 provision.
4033
4034BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004035in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004036console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004037U-Boot will hang.
4038
4039Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4040environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4041keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4042to save the current settings.
4043
4044
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004045- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004046
4047 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4048 device and a driver for it.
4049
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004050 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4051 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004052
4053 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4054 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4055
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004056 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004057 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4058 The default address is zero.
4059
Christian Gmeiner189d2572015-02-11 15:19:31 +01004060 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4061 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4062
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004063 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004064 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4065 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4066 would require six bits.
4067
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004068 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004069 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004070 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004071
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004072 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004073 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4074 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4075
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004076 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004077 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4078 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4079 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4080 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4081 byte chips.
4082
4083 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4084 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden

4093
4094 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4095 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over

4157 want to use for the local device's environment.
4158
4159 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4160 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4161
4162 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4163 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4164 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004165 space by SRIO or PCIE links.

4193
4194 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4195 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4196 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4197 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4198 the range to be avoided.
4199
4200 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4201
4202 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4203 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4204 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.

4215
4216 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4217 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4218 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4219
4220 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4221
4222 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4223

Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004229 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4230
4231 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4232 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4233 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4234
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004235 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4236 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4237
4238 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4239 when storing the env in UBI.
4240
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004241- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:

4243
4244 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4245
4246 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4247
4248 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4249
4250 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4251 be as following:
4252
4253 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4254 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4255 partition table.
4256 - "D:0": device D.
4257 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4258 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4259 table.
4260 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004261 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004262 partition table then means device D.
4263
4264 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4265
4266 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004267 environment.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004268
4269 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004270 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004271
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004272- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4273
4274 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4275 environment.
4276
4277 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4278
4279 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4280
4281 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4282
4283 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4284 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4285 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4286
4287 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4288 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4289
4290 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4291 area within the specified MMC device.
4292
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004293 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4294 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4295 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4296 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4297 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4298 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4299 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4300
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004301 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4302 MMC sector boundary.
4303
4304 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4305
4306 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4307 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4308 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4309 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4310
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004311 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4312 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4313
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004314 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4315 an MMC sector boundary.
4316
4317 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4318
4319 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4320 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4321 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4322
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004323- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004324
4325 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4326 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4327 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4328 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4329 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4330 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4331 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4332
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004333Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004334has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004335created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004336until then to read environment variables.
4337
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004338The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4339is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4340with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4341necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4342"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4343have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004344
4345Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4346the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004347use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004351
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004352 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004353 also needs to be defined.
4354
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004355- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004358- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4359 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4360 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4361 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4362 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4363 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4364
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004365- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4366 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4367 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4368 to do this.
4369
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004370- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4371 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4372 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4373 present.
4374
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004375- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4376 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004388
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004389 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4390 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4391 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004393- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4394 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4395 PowerPC SOCs.
4396
4397- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4398 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4399 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4400
4401 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4402 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4403
4404- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4405 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4406 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004407 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004408 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4409 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4410 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4411
4412 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4413 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4414
4415- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004416 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4417 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004418 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4419 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4420
4421- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4422 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4423 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or

stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004682- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4683 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4684 "md/mw" commands.
4685 Examples:
4686
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004687 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004688 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4689
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004690 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004691 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4692
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004693 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004694 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004695
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004696- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004697 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004698 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4699 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4700 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004701
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004702 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4703 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4704 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4705 these initializations itself.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004706
Simon Glassb5bd0982016-05-05 07:28:06 -06004707- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT_ONLY
4708 [ARM926EJ-S only] This allows just the call to lowlevel_init()
yeongjun Kim90211f72016-07-20 22:56:12 +09004709 to be skipped. The normal CP15 init (such as enabling the
Simon Glassb5bd0982016-05-05 07:28:06 -06004710 instruction cache) is still performed.
4711
Aneesh V401bb302011-07-13 05:11:07 +00004712- CONFIG_SPL_BUILD
Magnus Liljadf812382009-06-13 20:50:00 +02004713 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4714 that is executed before the actual U-Boot. E.g. when
4715 compiling a NAND SPL.
wdenk400558b2005-04-02 23:52:25 +00004716
Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08004717- CONFIG_TPL_BUILD
4718 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4719 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4720 It is loaded by the SPL.
4721
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004722- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4723 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4724 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4725 previous 4k of the .text section.
4726
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004727- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4728 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4729 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4730 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4731 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4732 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4733 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4734 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4735
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004736- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4737 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4738 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4739 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4740 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4741
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004742- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4743 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4744 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.
Gabe Blackb16f5212012-11-27 21:08:06 +00004745
Mark Jacksonfc337052013-03-04 01:27:20 +00004746- CONFIG_SYS_MPUCLK
4747 Defines the MPU clock speed (in MHz).
4748
4749 NOTE : currently only supported on AM335x platforms.
Gabe Black5b5ece92012-11-29 16:23:41 +00004750
Heiko Schocher16678eb2013-11-04 14:05:00 +01004751- CONFIG_SPL_AM33XX_ENABLE_RTC32K_OSC:
4752 Enables the RTC32K OSC on AM33xx based plattforms
4753
Karicheri, Muralidharan999d7d32014-04-04 13:16:50 -04004754- CONFIG_SYS_NAND_NO_SUBPAGE_WRITE
4755 Option to disable subpage write in NAND driver
4756 driver that uses this:
4757 drivers/mtd/nand/davinci_nand.c

Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004759Freescale QE/FMAN Firmware Support:
4760-----------------------------------
4761
4762The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4763loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4764This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4765are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4766within that device.
4767
Zhao Qiangdcf1d772014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004768- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4769 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4770 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4771 is also specified.
4772
4773- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4774 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004775 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4776 is also specified.
4777
4778- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4779 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4780 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4781 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4782 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4783
4784- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4785 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4786 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4787 virtual address in NOR flash.
4788
4789- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4790 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4791 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4792
4793- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4794 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4795 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4796
Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004797- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4798 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4799 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004800 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4801 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in
4802 master's memory space.

J. German Riverab940ca62014-06-23 15:15:55 -07004804Freescale Layerscape Management Complex Firmware Support:
4805---------------------------------------------------------
4806The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4807"firmware".
4808This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4809are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4810within that device.
4811
4812- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4813 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4814
Prabhakar Kushwaha5c055082015-06-02 10:55:52 +05304815Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support:
4816-------------------------------------------
4817The Freescale Layerscape Debug Server Support supports the loading of
4818"Debug Server firmware" and triggering SP boot-rom.
4819This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting.
4820
York Sunc0492142015-12-07 11:08:58 -08004821- CONFIG_SYS_MC_RSV_MEM_ALIGN
4822 Define alignment of reserved memory MC requires

Paul Kocialkowskif3f431a2015-07-26 18:48:15 +02004824Reproducible builds
4825-------------------
4826
4827In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
4828process have to be set to a fixed value.
4829
4830This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
4831SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
4832option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
4833
4834SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
4835
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004836Building the Software:
4837======================
4838
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004839Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4840and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4841all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4842(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4843recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4844which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004845
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004846If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4847have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4848you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4849Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4850necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004851
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004852 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4853 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004854
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004855Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4856 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4857 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4858 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4859
4860 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4861
4862 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4863 be executed on computers running Windows.
4864
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004865U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4866sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004867is done by typing:
4868
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004869 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004870
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004871where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004872rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004873
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004874Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4875 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4876 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4877 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004878 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004879
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004880 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004881 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004882
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004883 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004884 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004885
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004886 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004887
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004888
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004889Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4890images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004891
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004892- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4893- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4894- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004895
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004896By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4897in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4898this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4899
49001. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4901
4902 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004903 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004904 make O=/tmp/build all
4905
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +020049062. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004907
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02004908 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004909 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004910 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004911 make all
4912
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02004913Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004914variable.
4915
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004916
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004917Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
4918for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
4919native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004920
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004921
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004922If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
4923to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
4924steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004925
Phil Sutter3c1496c2015-12-25 14:41:18 +010049261. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004927 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
Phil Sutter3c1496c2015-12-25 14:41:18 +01004928 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
49292. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
4930 your board.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049313. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
4932 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020049334. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000049345. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
4935 to be installed on your target system.
49366. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
4937 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004942
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004943If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
4944or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004945provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
4946the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004947official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004948
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004949But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
4950cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004951the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
Simon Glass6de80f22016-07-27 20:33:08 -06004952just run the buildman script (tools/buildman/buildman), which will
4953configure and build U-Boot for ALL supported system. Be warned, this
4954will take a while. Please see the buildman README, or run 'buildman -H'
4955for documentation.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005012
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005013TODO.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005014
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005015For now: just type "help <command>".

5017
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005018Environment Variables:
5019======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005020
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005021U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5022can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005023
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005024Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5025"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5026without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5027environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5028working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5029environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005031Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5032
5033List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005034
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005035 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005036
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005037 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005038
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005039 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005040
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005041 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005042
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005043 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005044
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005045 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5046 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5047 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5048 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5049 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5050 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005051 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5052 bootm_mapsize.
5053
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005054 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005055 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5056 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5057 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5058 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5059 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5060 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005061
5062 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5063 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5064 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5065 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5066 environment variable.
5067
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005068 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5069 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5070 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5071
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005072 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5073 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5074 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5075 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005076
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005077 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5078 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5079 be automatically started (by internally calling
5080 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005081
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005082 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5083 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5084 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5085 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5086 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005087
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005088 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5089 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005090 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5091 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5092 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5093 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5094 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5095 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5096 access it during the boot procedure.
5097
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005098 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5099 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5100 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5101 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5102 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5103 must be accessible by the kernel.
5104
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005105 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5106 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5107 defined.
5108
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005109 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5110 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5111 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5112 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5113 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5114
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005115 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5116 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5117 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5118 is usually what you want since it allows for
5119 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5120 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005121 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005122 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5123 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5124 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5125 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005126
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005127 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5128 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5129 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5130 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5131 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5132 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005133
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005134 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005135
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005136 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5137 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5138 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5139 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5140 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5141 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5142 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005143
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005144 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005145

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005158
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005159 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005160
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005161 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5162 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005163
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005164 => setenv ethact FEC
5165 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5166 => setenv ethact SCC
5167 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005168
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005169 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5170 available network interfaces.
5171 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5172
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005173 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005174 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5175 When set to "once" the network operation will
5176 fail when all the available network interfaces
5177 are tried once without success.
5178 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5179 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005180
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005181 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005182
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005183 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005184 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5185 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5186 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5187 is silent.
5188
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)f5fb7342015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005189 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005190 UDP source port.
5191
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)f5fb7342015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005192 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005193 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5194
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005195 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5196 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5197
5198 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5199 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5200 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5201 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5202 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5203 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5204 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5205
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)f5fb7342015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005206 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5207 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5208 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5209 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5210 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5211 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5212 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5213
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005214 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005215 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005216 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005217
Alexandre Messier50768f52016-02-01 17:08:57 -05005218 bootpretryperiod - Period during which BOOTP/DHCP sends retries.
5219 Unsigned value, in milliseconds. If not set, the period will
5220 be either the default (28000), or a value based on
5221 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT, if defined. This value has
5222 precedence over the valu based on CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT.
5223
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005224The following image location variables contain the location of images
5225used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5226not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5227variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5228server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5229loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5230flash or offset in NAND flash.
5231
5232*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevamaed9fed2015-04-25 18:53:10 -03005233boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005234boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005258There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005259
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005260 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5261 as type string and/or serial number
5262 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005263
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005264These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5265the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5266once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005267
5268
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005269Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005270
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005271 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5272 with the "version" command. This variable is
5273 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005274
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005275
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005276Please note that changes to some configuration parameters may take
5277only effect after the next boot (yes, that's just like Windoze :-).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005280Callback functions for environment variables:
5281---------------------------------------------
5282
5283For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005284when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005285be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5286deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5287effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5288
5289The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5290U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5291
5292These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5293static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5294in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5295associations. The list must be in the following format:
5296
5297 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5298 list = entry[,list]
5299
5300If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5301Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5302
5303Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5304with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5305override any association in the static list. You can define
5306CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005307".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005308
Joe Hershbergerbdf1fe42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05005309If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5310regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5311the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

5315=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005316
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005317There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5318the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005319
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005320Old, simple command line parser:
5321--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005322
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005323- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5324- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005325- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005326- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5327 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005328 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005329- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5330 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005331

5333-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005334
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005335- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5336 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5337 until...do...done, ...
5338- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5339 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5340 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5341 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005342
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005343General rules:
5344--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005345
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005346(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5347 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5348 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5349 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005350
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005351(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005352 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005353 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5354 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005356Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5357=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005358
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005359Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005360such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5361"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005362
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005363Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5364MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5365"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005366
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005367If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5368in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5369ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5370variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005371
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005372o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5373 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005374
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005375o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5376 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5377 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005378
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005379o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5380 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005381
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005382o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5383 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5384 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005385
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005386o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
Joe Hershbergerbef10142015-05-04 14:55:13 -05005387 is raised. If CONFIG_NET_RANDOM_ETHADDR is defined, then in this case
5388 a random, locally-assigned MAC is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005389
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005390If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005391will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005392may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5393The naming convention is as follows:
5394"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.

5397==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005398
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005399U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5400images in two formats:
5401
5402New uImage format (FIT)
5403-----------------------
5404
5405Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5406to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5407components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5408SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5409
5410
5411Old uImage format
5412-----------------
5413
5414Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5415preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5416details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005437Linux Support:
5438==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005439
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005440Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5441easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5442U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005443
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005444U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5445special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5446"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5447instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5448serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005449
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005450- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5451 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5452 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005453
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005454- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5455 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005456
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005457- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5458 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5459 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5460 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5461 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5462 software is easier now.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005468Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5469---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005470
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005471U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5472configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5473(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5474Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005475
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005476But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005477
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005478Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5479include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005480Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5481and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005482as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005483
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005484Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5485If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5486is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5487doc/driver-model.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005490Configuring the Linux kernel:
5491-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005492
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005493No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5494device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005495

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005497Building a Linux Image:
5498-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005499
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005500With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5501not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5502"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5503U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5504which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5505100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005506
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005507Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005508
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005509 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005510 make oldconfig
5511 make dep
5512 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005513
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005514The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5515encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5516CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005527

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005529
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005530* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005531
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005532 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5533 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005536
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005537The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5538with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5539combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5540byte header containing information about target architecture,
5541operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5542stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005543
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005544"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5545print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005546
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005547In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5548contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5549checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005550
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005551 tools/mkimage -l image
5552 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005553
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005554The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5555from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005556
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005557 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5558 -n name -d data_file image
5559 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5560 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5561 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5562 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5563 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5564 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5565 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5566 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005567
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005568Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5569address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5570kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005571
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005572- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5573- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005574
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005575So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005576

Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraa804b5c2013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005629The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5630option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5631option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5632from the image:
5633

5636 -T ==> set image type to 'type'

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005640Installing a Linux Image:
5641-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005642
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005643To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5644you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005645
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005646 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005647
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005648The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5649image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5650address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5651specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5652command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005653
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005654Example: install the image to address 0x40100000 (which on the

5774First, U-Boot must be compiled with the appropriate defines. See the section
5775titled "Linux Kernel Interface" above for a more in depth explanation. The
5776following is an example of how to start a kernel and pass an updated
5777flat device tree:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005820More About U-Boot Image Types:
5821------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005822
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005823U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005824
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005825 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5826 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5827 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5828 the Standalone Program.
5829 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5830 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5831 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5832 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5833 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5834 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5835 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5836 being started.
5837 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5838 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5839 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5840 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5841 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5842 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005843
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005844 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5845 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
5846 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
5847 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5848 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5849 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005850
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005851 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5852 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5853 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005854
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005855 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5856 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5857 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5858 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00005860Booting the Linux zImage:
5861-------------------------
5862
5863On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5864using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5865as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5866
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005867Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005868kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5869address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5870format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

5874=================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005875
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005876One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5877run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5878U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005879
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005880Two simple examples are included with the sources:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005885'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
5886application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5887It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5888like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005914Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
5915handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
5916Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
5917The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
5918character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
5919controlled by the following keys:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005920

5983=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005984
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005985Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
5986(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005987
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005988Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
5989NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
5990need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
5991Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
5992attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
5993missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005994
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005995 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
5996 # mkdir powerpc
5997 # ln -s powerpc machine
5998 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
5999 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006000
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006001Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6002and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006003
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006004Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6005stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6006proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6007tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006014The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6015implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6016inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6017hardware.

6021---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006022
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006023The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6024starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6025system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6026This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6027is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6028at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6029options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6030models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6031MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6032locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006042 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6043 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6044 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6045 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6046 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006047 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006048 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6049 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006051 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6052 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006053 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006054 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6055 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6056 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6057 used.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006059 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006060 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6061 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006062 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006063 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6064 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6065 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6066 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6067 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006072It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6073code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006074
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006075* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6076 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006077
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006078* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006079 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6080 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006081
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006082* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6083 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006084
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006085Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006086normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006087turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6088simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6089functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6090functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6091the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6092place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6093reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006094
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006095When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6096relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6097GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006098
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006099For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6100 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006101 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006102 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6103 R5-R10: parameter passing
6104 R13: small data area pointer
6105 R30: GOT pointer
6106 R31: frame pointer
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006107
Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006108 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6109 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6110 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006111
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006112 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006113
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006114 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6115 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6116 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6117 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6118 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6119 624 text + 127 data).

Robin Getzc4db3352009-08-17 15:23:02 +00006121On Blackfin, the normal C ABI (except for P3) is followed as documented here:

Mike Frysinger4c58eb52008-02-04 19:26:54 -05006125
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006126On ARM, the following registers are used:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006127
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006128 R0: function argument word/integer result
6129 R1-R3: function argument word
Jeroen Hofstee12eba1b2013-09-21 14:04:42 +02006130 R9: platform specific
6131 R10: stack limit (used only if stack checking is enabled)
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006132 R11: argument (frame) pointer
6133 R12: temporary workspace
6134 R13: stack pointer
6135 R14: link register
6136 R15: program counter
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006137
Jeroen Hofstee12eba1b2013-09-21 14:04:42 +02006138 ==> U-Boot will use R9 to hold a pointer to the global data
6139
6140 Note: on ARM, only R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations are supported.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006141
Thomas Chou0df01fd2010-05-21 11:08:03 +08006142On Nios II, the ABI is documented here:
6143 http://www.altera.com/literature/hb/nios2/n2cpu_nii51016.pdf
6144
6145 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6146
6147 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6148 to access small data sections, so gp is free.
6149
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00006150On NDS32, the following registers are used:
6151
6152 R0-R1: argument/return
6153 R2-R5: argument
6154 R15: temporary register for assembler
6155 R16: trampoline register
6156 R28: frame pointer (FP)
6157 R29: global pointer (GP)
6158 R30: link register (LP)
6159 R31: stack pointer (SP)
6160 PC: program counter (PC)
6161
6162 ==> U-Boot will use R10 to hold a pointer to the global data
6163
Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02006164NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6165or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006167Memory Management:
6168------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006169
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006170U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6171MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006172
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006173The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6174controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6175memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6176physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006177
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006178U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6179TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6180booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6181to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006182memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006183configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6184Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006185
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006186Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6187of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006188
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006189So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6190this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006191
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006192 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6193 :
6194 0x0000 1FFF
6195 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6196 :
6197 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006198
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006199 :
6200 :
6201 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6202 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6203 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6204 :
6205 0x00FD FFFF
6206 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6207 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6208 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6209 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006210
6211
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006212System Initialization:
6213----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006214
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006215In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006216(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006217configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006218To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6219To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6220initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6221which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6222part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6223the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006224
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006225Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6226preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6227(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6228on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6229programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6230simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6231banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006232
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006233When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6234different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6235bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
62360x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6237contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006238
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006239Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6240and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6241Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6242pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006243
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006244Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6245until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6246running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6247new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006354Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6355establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6356may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006357
Magnus Lilja0d28f342008-08-06 19:32:33 +02006358Please see http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/Patches for details.
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006359
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006360Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6361see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6362
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006363When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6364it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006365
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006366* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6367 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6368 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006369
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006370* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6371 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006372
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006373* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6374
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -05006375* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6376 information and associated file and directory references.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006377
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006378* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6379 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006380
6381* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6382 document these in the README file.
6383
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006384* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6385 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006386 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006387 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6388 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006389
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006390 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6391 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6392 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006393
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006394 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6395 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6396 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6397 affected files).
6398
6399 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6400 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006401
6402* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6403 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6404
6405* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6406 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6407
6408
6409Notes:
6410
Simon Glass6de80f22016-07-27 20:33:08 -06006411* Before sending the patch, run the buildman script on your patched
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006412 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6413 for any of the boards.
6414
6415* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6416 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6417 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6418
6419* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6420 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6421 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6422 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6423 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6424 modification.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006426* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6427 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6428 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6429 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
