9========

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

30Status:
31=======

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000225Software Configuration:
226=======================
227
228Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
229rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
230
231There are two classes of configuration variables:
232
233* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
234 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
235 "CONFIG_".
236
237* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
238 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
239 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200240 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000241
242Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
243identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
244do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
245links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
246as an example here.
247
248
249Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
250---------------------------------------------------
251
252For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200253configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000254
255Example: For a TQM823L module type:
256
257 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200258 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000259
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200260For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200261e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000262directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.

Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600265Sandbox Environment:
266--------------------
267
268U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
269board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
270specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
271run some of U-Boot's tests.
272
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530273See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

275
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700276Board Initialisation Flow:
277--------------------------
278
279This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
280SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules). At present SPL
281mostly uses a separate code path, but the funtion names and roles of each
282function are the same. Some boards or architectures may not conform to this.
283At least most ARM boards which use CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
284
285Execution starts with start.S with three functions called during init after
286that. The purpose and limitations of each is described below.
287
288lowlevel_init():
289 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
290 - no global_data or BSS
291 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
292 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
293 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
294 board_init_f()
295 - this is almost never needed
296 - return normally from this function
297
298board_init_f():
299 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
300 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
301 - global_data is available
302 - stack is in SRAM
303 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
304 only stack variables and global_data
305
306 Non-SPL-specific notes:
307 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
308 can do nothing
309
310 SPL-specific notes:
311 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
312 version as needed.
313 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
314 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
315 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
316 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
317 directly)
318
319Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
320this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
321CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
322memory.
323
324board_init_r():
325 - purpose: main execution, common code
326 - global_data is available
327 - SDRAM is available
328 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
329 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
330
331 Non-SPL-specific notes:
332 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
333 there.
334
335 SPL-specific notes:
336 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
337 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
338 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
339 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
340 spl_board_init() function containing this call
341 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux
342
343
344
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000345Configuration Options:
346----------------------
347
348Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
349such information is kept in a configuration file
350"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
351
352Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
353"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
354
355
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000356Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
357kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
358build a config tool - later.
359
360
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000361The following options need to be configured:
362
Kim Phillips26281142007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500363- CPU Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC85XX.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000364
Kim Phillips26281142007-08-10 13:28:25 -0500365- Board Type: Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_MPC8540ADS.

731
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -0800732 When transferring memsize parameter to Linux, some versions
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000733 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
734 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.

Kumar Gala4e253132006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600757 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
758
759 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
760 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000761
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600762 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
763
764 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
765 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
766 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
767 the kernel.

770
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200771 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500772 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
773
Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200774 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
775
776 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
777 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
778 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
779 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
780 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
781 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
782
Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000783 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
784
785 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
786 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
787 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
788 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
789 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
790 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
791 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
792

830
831 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
832
833 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
834 the clock speed of the UARTs.
835
836 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
837
838 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
839 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
840 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
841
John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000842 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
843
844 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
845 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
846 this variable to initialize the extra register.
847
848 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
849
850 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
851 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
852 variable to flush the UART at init time.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000859- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000860 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
861 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
862 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
863 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000864
865 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
866 port routines must be defined elsewhere
867 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
868

909 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
910 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
911
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000912 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100932- Console Rx buffer length
933 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
934 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100935 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100936 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
937 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
938 the SMC.
939
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000940- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200941 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
942 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
943 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
944 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
945 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
946 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
947 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200948 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200949 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000950
Hans de Goedea8552c72015-05-05 13:13:36 +0200951 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
952 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
953
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200954 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
955 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000956
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000957- Safe printf() functions
958 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
959 the printf() functions. These are defined in
960 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
961 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
962 If this option is not given then these functions will
963 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
964 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
965
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000966- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
967 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
968 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000969 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
970 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000971
972 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
973 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
974 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
975 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
976 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
977 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
978 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR

981 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
982
983- Autoboot Command:
984 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
985 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
986 define a command string that is automatically executed
987 when no character is read on the console interface
988 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
989
990 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000991 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
992 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
993 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000994
995 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000996 The value of these goes into the environment as
997 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
998 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200999 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001000
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +01001001- Bootcount:
1002 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
1003 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
1004 cycle, see:
1005 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
1006
1007 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
1008 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
1009 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
1010 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
1011 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
1012 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
1013 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
1014 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
1015 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
1016
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001017- Pre-Boot Commands:
1018 CONFIG_PREBOOT
1019
1020 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
1021 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
1022 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
1023 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
1024 entering interactive mode.
1025
1026 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
1027 automatically generated or modified. For an example
1028 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
1029 modified when the user holds down a certain
1030 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
1031 booting the systems
1032
1033- Serial Download Echo Mode:
1034 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
1035 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
1036 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
1037 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
1038 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
1039 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
1040 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.

Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001048 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
1049 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +00001050 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001175 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1176 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1177 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1178 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1179 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1180 initial stack and some data.

1183 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1184
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001185- Regular expression support:
1186 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001187 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1188 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1189 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1190 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001191
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001192- Device tree:
1193 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1194 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1195 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1196 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1197 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1198 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1199
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001200 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1201 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001202
1203 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1204 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1205 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1206 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1207 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1208 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001209
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001210 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1211 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1212 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1213 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1214
1215 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1216
1217 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1218 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1219 still use the individual files if you need something more
1220 exotic.
1221
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001222- Watchdog:
1223 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1224 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001225 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1226 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1227 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1228 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1229 available, then no further board specific code should
1230 be needed to use it.
1231
1232 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1233 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1234 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1235 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001236
Heiko Schocher7bae0d62015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001237 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1238 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1239
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001240- U-Boot Version:
1241 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1242 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1243 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1244 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001245 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1246 next reset.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001248- Real-Time Clock:
1249
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001250 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001251 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1252 following options:
1253
1254 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1255 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001256 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001266 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1267 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001268
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001269 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1270 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1271
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001272- GPIO Support:
1273 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001274
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001275 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1276 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1277 pins supported by a particular chip.
1278
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001279 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1280 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1281
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001282- I/O tracing:
1283 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1284 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1285 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1286 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1287 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1288 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1289 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1290 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1291
1292 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1293 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1294 still continue to operate.
1295
1296 iotrace is enabled
1297 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1298 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1299 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1300 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1301 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1302 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1303
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001304- Timestamp Support:
1305
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001306 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1307 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1308 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001309 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001310

Igor Grinbergd70a5602011-12-12 12:08:35 +02001634- ULPI Layer Support:
1635 The ULPI (UTMI Low Pin (count) Interface) PHYs are supported via
1636 the generic ULPI layer. The generic layer accesses the ULPI PHY
1637 via the platform viewport, so you need both the genric layer and
1638 the viewport enabled. Currently only Chipidea/ARC based
1639 viewport is supported.
1640 To enable the ULPI layer support, define CONFIG_USB_ULPI and
1641 CONFIG_USB_ULPI_VIEWPORT in your board configuration file.
Lucas Stach6d365ea2012-10-01 00:44:35 +02001642 If your ULPI phy needs a different reference clock than the
1643 standard 24 MHz then you have to define CONFIG_ULPI_REF_CLK to
1644 the appropriate value in Hz.

1674 CONFIG_DFU_FUNCTION
1675 This enables the USB portion of the DFU USB class
1676
1677 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1678 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1679 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1680 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1681 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1682
1683 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1684 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1685

1690 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1691 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1692 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1693 one that would help mostly the developer.
1694
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001695 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1696 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1697 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1698 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1699 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1700
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001701 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1702 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1703 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1704 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1705 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1706 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1707
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001708 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1709 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1710 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1711 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1712
1713 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1714 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1715 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1716 sending again an USB request to the device.
1717
Sebastian Siewior3aab70a2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001718- USB Device Android Fastboot support:
1719 CONFIG_CMD_FASTBOOT
1720 This enables the command "fastboot" which enables the Android
1721 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1722 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1723 used on Android devices.

1726 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1727 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1728 image format header.
1729
1730 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
1731 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1732 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1733 downloaded images.
1734
1735 CONFIG_USB_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
1736 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1737 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1738 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1739
Steve Raed1b5ed02014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001740 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1741 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1742 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1743 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1744
1745 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1746 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1747 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1748 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1749
Steve Rae0ff7e582014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001750 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1751 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1752 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1753 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1754 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1755 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1756 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1757 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.

Hannes Petermaier604c7d42015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001951 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1952
1953 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1954 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1955 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1956 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1957 printed out.
1958 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1959 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1960 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1961 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1962 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1963 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1964 1 = 90 degree rotation
1965 2 = 180 degree rotation
1966 3 = 270 degree rotation
1967
1968 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1969 initialized with 0degree rotation.

1983 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1984 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001985 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001986 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1987 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1988 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1989 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001990
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001991 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1992
1993 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1994 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001995 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001996 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1997 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1998 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1999 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
2000 there is no need to set this option.
2001
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02002002 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
2003
2004 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
2005 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
2006 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
2007 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
2008 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
2009 specify 'm' for centering the image.
2010
2011 Example:
2012 setenv splashpos m,m
2013 => image at center of screen
2014
2015 setenv splashpos 30,20
2016 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
2017
2018 setenv splashpos -10,m
2019 => vertically centered image
2020 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
2021
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02002022- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
2023
2024 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
2025 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
2026 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
2027
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01002028- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
2029
2030 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
2031 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
2032 bmp command.
2033
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002034- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00002035 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
2036
2037 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
2038 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
2039
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002040- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002041 CONFIG_GZIP
2042
2043 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
2044
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00002045 CONFIG_BZIP2
2046
2047 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
2048 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
2049 compressed images are supported.
2050
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002051 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002052 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00002053 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00002054
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002055 CONFIG_LZMA
2056
2057 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
2058 images is included.
2059
2060 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
2061 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
2062 formula:
2063
2064 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
2065
2066 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
2067 and Literal pos bits.
2068
2069 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
2070 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
2071 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
2072 a very small buffer.
2073
2074 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
2075 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002076 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02002077
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07002078 CONFIG_LZO
2079
2080 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
2081 is included.
2082
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002083- MII/PHY support:
2084 CONFIG_PHY_ADDR
2085
2086 The address of PHY on MII bus.
2087
2088 CONFIG_PHY_CLOCK_FREQ (ppc4xx)
2089
2090 The clock frequency of the MII bus
2091
2092 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
2093
2094 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002095 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002096
2097 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2098
2099 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2100 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2101 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2102 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2103
2104 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2105
2106 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2107 command issued before MII status register can be read
2108
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002109- IP address:
2110 CONFIG_IPADDR
2111
2112 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002113 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002114 determined through e.g. bootp.
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002115 (Environment variable "ipaddr")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002116
2117- Server IP address:
2118 CONFIG_SERVERIP
2119
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002120 Defines a default value for the IP address of a TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002121 server to contact when using the "tftboot" command.
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002122 (Environment variable "serverip")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002123
Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002124 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2125
2126 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2127 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2128
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002129- Gateway IP address:
2130 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2131
2132 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2133 default router where packets to other networks are
2134 sent to.
2135 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2136
2137- Subnet mask:
2138 CONFIG_NETMASK
2139
2140 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2141 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2142 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2143 forwarded through a router.
2144 (Environment variable "netmask")
2145
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002146- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2147 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2148
2149 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2150 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002151 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002152 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2153 multicast group.
2154
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002155- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2156 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2157
2158 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2159 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2160 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2161 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2162 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2163 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2164 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2165 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002166 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002167
2168 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2169 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2170 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2171 4th and following
2172 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2173
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002174 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2175
2176 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2177 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2178 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2179 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2180 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2181 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2182 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2183 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2184 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2185 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2186 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2187 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2188 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2189 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2190 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.
2191
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002192- DHCP Advanced Options:
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002193 You can fine tune the DHCP functionality by defining
2194 CONFIG_BOOTP_* symbols:

2207 CONFIG_BOOTP_VENDOREX
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002208 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002209
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002210 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2211 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002212
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002213 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2214 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2215 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2216 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2217 is not available.
2218
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002219 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2220 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2221 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2222 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2223 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2224 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2225 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002226 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002227
2228 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2229 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2230 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002231 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002232 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2233 option 12 to the DHCP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002234
Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002235 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2236
2237 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2238 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2239 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2240 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2241 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2242 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2243 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2244 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2245 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2246 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2247 this delay.
2248
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002249 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2250 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2251 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2252 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2253 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2254
2255 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

2263
2264 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
2265 of the device.
2266
2267 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
2268
2269 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2270 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002271 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00002272
2273 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
2274

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002299- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2300
2301 Several configurations allow to display the current
2302 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2303 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2304 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2305 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2306 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2307 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2308 feature in U-Boot.
2309
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002310 Additional options:
2311
2312 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2313 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2314 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2315 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2316 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2317
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002318 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2319 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2320 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2321 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2322 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2323 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2324
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002325- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2326
2327 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2328 on those systems that support this (optional)
2329 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002510
2511 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2512 provides the following compelling advantages:
2513
2514 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2515 - approved multibus support
2516 - better i2c mux support
2517
2518 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2519
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002520 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2521 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2522 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002523
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002524 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002525 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002526 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2527 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002528 command line interface.

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002530 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002531
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002532 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002533 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002534
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002535 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002536 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002537 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002538 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002539
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002540 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002541 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002542 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2543 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2544 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002545
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002546 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2547
2548 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2549 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2550 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2551 commands until the slave device responds.
2552
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002553 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002555 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002556 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are

2569 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2570 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002571
2572 I2C_ACTIVE

2614
2615 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2616 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002617 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something

2623
2624 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2625 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2626 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2627 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2628
2629 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2630 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002634 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2635 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2636 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2637 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2638 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2639 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2640 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2641 is run early in the boot sequence.

2644
2645 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2646 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2647 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2648 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2649 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2650 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2651 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2652 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

2662 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002663 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2664 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002846
2847- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2848
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002849 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2850 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002851 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002852 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2853 protects these variables from casual modification by
2854 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2855 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002856 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002857
2858 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2859 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002860 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002861 these parameters.
2862
Joe Hershberger92ac5202015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002863 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2864 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002865 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002866 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2867 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2868 read-only.]
2869
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002870 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2871 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2872 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2873 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2874
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002875- Protected RAM:
2876 CONFIG_PRAM
2877
2878 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2879 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2880 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2881 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2882 this default value by defining an environment
2883 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2884 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2885 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2886 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2887 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2888 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2889 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2890
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002891 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002892 saveenv
2893
2894 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2895 either, which results in a memory region that will
2896 not be affected by reboots.
2897
2898 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2899 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2900 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2901 following board configurations are known to be
2902 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002908- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2909 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2910 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2911 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2912 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2913 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2914 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2915
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002916- Error Recovery:
2917 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2918
2919 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2920 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2921 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002922 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002923 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2924 useful during development since you can try to debug
2925 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2926
2927 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2928
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002929 This variable defines the number of retries for
2930 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2931 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002950 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002951
2952 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2953 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2954 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2955
2956 Note:
2957
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002958 In the current implementation, the local variables
2959 space and global environment variables space are
2960 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2961 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2962 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2963 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2964 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002965
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002966 Global environment variables are those you use
2967 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2968 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2969 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002970
2971 To store commands and special characters in a
2972 variable, please use double quotation marks
2973 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2974 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2975 symbols.

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002983- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002984 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2985
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002986 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2987 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002988 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002989
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002990 For example, place something like this in your
2991 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002992
2993 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2994 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2995 "myvar2=value2\0"
2996
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002997 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2998 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2999 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
3000 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00003001 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003002 You better know what you are doing here.
3003
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003004 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
3005 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02003006 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003007 boot command first.

Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00003009 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
3010
3011 Define this in order to add variables describing the
3012 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
3013 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
3014
3015 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
3016
3017 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
3018 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
3019 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
3020 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
3021 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
3022
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00003023 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
3024
3025 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
3026 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
3027 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
3028
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003029 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
3030
3031 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003032 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00003033 that so that the environment is not available until
3034 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
3035 this is instead controlled by the value of
3036 /config/load-environment.
3037
Chris Packham3b10cf12015-06-19 20:25:59 +12003038- Parallel Flash support:
3039 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
3040
3041 Traditionally U-boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
3042 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
3043 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
3044 parallel flash.
3045
3046 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
3047 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
3048 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
3049 flash API (see include/flash.h).
3050
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003051- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003052 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
3053
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003054 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
3055 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
3056 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00003057
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07003058- Serial Flash support
3059 CONFIG_CMD_SF
3060
3061 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
3062 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
3063
3064 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
3065 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
3066 commands.
3067
3068 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
3069 to handle the common case when only a single serial
3070 flash is present on the system.
3071
3072 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
3073 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
3074 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
3075 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
3076
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00003077 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
3078
3079 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
3080 test ('sf test').
3081
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303082 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
3083
3084 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
3085 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003086 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303087
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003088- SystemACE Support:
3089 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3090
3091 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3092 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003093 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003094 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003095
3096 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003097 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003098
3099 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3100 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3101
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003102- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3103 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3104
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003105 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003106 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003107 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003108 number generator is used.
3109
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003110 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3111 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3112 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3113
3114 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003115 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3116 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3117 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3118 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3119 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3120 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3121
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003122- Hashing support:
3123 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3124
3125 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3126 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3127
3128 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3129
3130 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3131 size a little.
3132
gaurav rana94e3c8c2015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303133 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3134 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3135 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3136 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3137 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3138 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3139 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3140 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3141 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3142 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3143 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3144 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003145
3146 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3147 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3148
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003149- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3150 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3151 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3152 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3153
3154 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3155 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3156 a boot from specific media.
3157
3158 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3159 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3160 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3161 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3162 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3163
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003164- Signing support:
3165 CONFIG_RSA
3166
3167 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003168 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003169
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303170 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3171 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3172 library to function.
3173
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003174 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303175 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3176 mkimage irrespective of this option.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003177
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003178- bootcount support:
3179 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3180
3181 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3182 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3183
3184 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3185 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3186 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3187 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3188 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3189 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3190 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3191 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3192 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3193 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3194 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3195 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3196 the bootcounter.
3197 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

3201
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003202 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3203 specific code (calling a user-provided function

3452
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003453 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG

3457
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003458
3459 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3460 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3461 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3462 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3463 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3464 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3465
3466 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3467 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3468 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3469 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3470 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3471
3472 default: 4096
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003473
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003474 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3475 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3476 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3477 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3478 flash), this value is ignored.
3479
3480 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3481 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3482 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3483 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3484 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3485 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3486
3487 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3488 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3489 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3490 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3491 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3492 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3493 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3494 partition.
3495
3496 default: 20
3497
3498 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3499 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3500 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3501 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3502 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3503 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3504 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3505 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3506 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3507 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3508 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3509 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3510
3511 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3512 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3513 without a fastmap.
3514 default: 0
3515
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003516- UBIFS support
3517 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3518
3519 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3520 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3521
3522 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3523
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003524 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003800- Interrupt support (PPC):
3801
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003802 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3803 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003804 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003805 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003806 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003807 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003808 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003809 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3810 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3811 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003813- General:
3814
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003815 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3816 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3817 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003818 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003819 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3820 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3821 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003822
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003823 If there are no modem init strings in the
3824 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3825 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003826 suppressed, though.

3834to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3835before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3836following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3837architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3838typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003899- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3900 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003901 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003902 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003903 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3904 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3905 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003906 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that

Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003908 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003909
3910 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3911 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3912 be touched.
3913
3914 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3915 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3916 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a

3947
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003948- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3949 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3950 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3951 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3952 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3953 space.
3954
3955 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3956 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3957 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003958 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003959 U-Boot relocates itself.
3960
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003961 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003962 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3963
Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07003964- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3965 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3966 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3967 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3968
Thierry Reding1dfdd9b2014-12-09 22:25:22 -07003969- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3970 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3971 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3972 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3973 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3974 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3975 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3976 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3977 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3978 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3979 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3980 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3981 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3982 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3983 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3984 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3985
3986 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3987
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003988- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003989 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3990 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003991 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003992 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3993
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003994- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003995 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3996 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003997 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3998 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003999 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02004000 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004001 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00004002 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
4003 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
4004 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

4009 is enabled.
4010
4011- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00004038 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
4039 instead of U-Boot software protection.
4040
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004041- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004042
4043 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
4044 without this option such a download has to be
4045 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
4046 copy from RAM to flash.
4047
4048 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
4049 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004050 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
4051 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004052 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
4053
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004054- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01004062- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
4063 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
4064 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
4065 to the MTD layer.
4066
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004067- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_USE_BUFFER_WRITE

4076 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4077 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4078 optionally available.
4079
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05004080- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
4081 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
4082 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80

4084
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02004085- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4086 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4087 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4088 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4089 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4090 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4091 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4092 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4093
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004094- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004095 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4096 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004097 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4098 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004099 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004100 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04004112 Enable validation of the values given to environment variables when
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06004113 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
4114 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
4115 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
4116
4117 The format of the list is:
4118 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004119 access_attribute = [a|r|o|c]

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004140 environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06004141
4142 - CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC
4143 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4144 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4145 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4146 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4147 ".flags" variable.
4148
Joe Hershbergerbdf1fe42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05004149 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a

Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004157- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4158 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4159 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4160 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4161 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4162 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
Masahiro Yamada0a12e682015-03-19 19:42:51 +09004163 must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).
4164 If you find problems enabling this option on your board please report
4165 the problem and send patches!

Gabe Black0d296cc2014-10-15 04:38:30 -06004172- CONFIG_USE_STDINT
4173 If stdint.h is available with your toolchain you can define this
4174 option to enable it. You can provide option 'USE_STDINT=1' when
4175 building U-Boot to enable this.
4176
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004177The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4178of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4179following configurations:
4180
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004181- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4182
4183 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4184 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4185
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004186- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004187
4188 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4189
4190 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4191 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4192 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4193 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4194 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4195 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4196 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4197 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4198 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4199 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4200 between U-Boot and the environment.
4201
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004202 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004203
4204 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4205 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4206 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4207 for this sector is given here.
4208
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004209 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004210
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004211 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004212
4213 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4214 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004215 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004216
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004217 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004218
4219 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4220
4221
4222 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4223 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4224 the environment.
4225
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004226 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004227
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004228 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004229 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004230 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4231 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4232
4233 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4234 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4235 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4236 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4237 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4238 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4239 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4240 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4241 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4242
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004243 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4244 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004245
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004246 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004247 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004248 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004249 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004250
4251BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4252source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4253accordingly!
4254
4255
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004256- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004257
4258 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4259 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4260 environment.
4261
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004262 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4263 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004264
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004265 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004266 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4267 can just be read and written to, without any special
4268 provision.
4269
4270BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004271in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004272console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004273U-Boot will hang.
4274
4275Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4276environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4277keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4278to save the current settings.
4279
4280
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004281- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004282
4283 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4284 device and a driver for it.
4285
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004286 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4287 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004288
4289 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4290 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4291
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004292 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004293 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4294 The default address is zero.
4295
Christian Gmeiner189d2572015-02-11 15:19:31 +01004296 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4297 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4298
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004299 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004300 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4301 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4302 would require six bits.
4303
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004304 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004305 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004306 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004307
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004308 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004309 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4310 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4311
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004312 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004313 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4314 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4315 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4316 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4317 byte chips.
4318
4319 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4320 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4321 in the chip address.
4322
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004323 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004324 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4325
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004326 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4327 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4328 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4329
4330 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4331 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4332 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4333 EEPROM. For example:
4334
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004335 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004336
4337 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4338 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.

4354
4355 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4356 want to use for the environment.
4357
4358 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4359 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4360
4361 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4362 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4363 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4364
4365 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4366
4367 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4368
4369 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4370
4371 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4372 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4373 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4374 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4375 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4376
4377 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4378 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4379
4380 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4381
4382 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4383
4384 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4385
4386 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4387
4388 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.

4393 want to use for the local device's environment.
4394
4395 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4396 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4397
4398 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4399 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4400 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004401 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004402
4403BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4404"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004405environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4406but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004428 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4429
4430 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4431 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4432 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4433 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4434 the range to be avoided.
4435
4436 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4437
4438 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4439 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The

4441 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4442 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004444- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4445
4446 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the

4448 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4449
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004450- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4451
4452 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4453 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4454 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4455
4456 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4457
4458 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4459

4466
4467 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4468 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4469 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4470

4472 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4473
4474 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4475 when storing the env in UBI.
4476
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004477- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:

4479
4480 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4481
4482 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4483
4484 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4485
4486 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4487 be as following:
4488
4489 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4490 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4491 partition table.
4492 - "D:0": device D.
4493 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4494 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4495 table.
4496 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004497 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004498 partition table then means device D.
4499
4500 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4501
4502 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004503 environment.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004504
4505 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004506 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004507
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004508- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4509
4510 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4511 environment.
4512
4513 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4514
4515 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4516
4517 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4518
4519 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4520 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4521 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4522
4523 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4524 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4525
4526 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4527 area within the specified MMC device.
4528
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004529 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4530 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4531 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4532 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4533 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4534 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4535 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4536
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004537 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4538 MMC sector boundary.
4539
4540 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4541
4542 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4543 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4544 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4545 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4546
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004547 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4548 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4549
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004550 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4551 an MMC sector boundary.
4552
4553 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4554
4555 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4556 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4557 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4558
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004559- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004560
4561 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4562 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4563 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4564 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4565 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4566 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4567 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4568
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004569Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004570has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004571created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004572until then to read environment variables.
4573
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004574The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4575is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4576with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4577necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4578"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4579have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004580
4581Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4582the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004583use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004589 also needs to be defined.
4590
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004591- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004594- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4595 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4596 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4597 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4598 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4599 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4600
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004601- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4602 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4603 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4604 to do this.
4605
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004606- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4607 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4608 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4609 present.
4610
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004611- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:

4621
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004622- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004624
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004625 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4626 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4627 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004629- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4630 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4631 PowerPC SOCs.
4632
4633- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4634 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4635 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4636
4637 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4638 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4639
4640- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4641 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4642 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004643 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004644 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4645 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4646 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4647
4648 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4649 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4650
4651- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004652 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4653 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004654 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4655 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4656
4657- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4658 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4659 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4660 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4661
4662- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4663 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4664 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004884- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4885 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4886
4887- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4888 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004889 to the given FEC; i. e.
4890 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004891 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4892
4893 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4894
4895- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4896 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4897 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4898
4899- CONFIG_RMII
4900 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
4901 Note that this is a global option, we can't
4902 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
4903
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004904- CONFIG_CRC32_VERIFY

4906 The syntax is:
4907
4908 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
4909
4910 Where address/count indicate a memory area
4911 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the
4912 area should have.
4913
wdenk56523f12004-07-11 17:40:54 +00004914- CONFIG_LOOPW
4915 Add the "loopw" memory command. This only takes effect if
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004916 the memory commands are activated globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004918- CONFIG_MX_CYCLIC
4919 Add the "mdc" and "mwc" memory commands. These are cyclic
4920 "md/mw" commands.
4921 Examples:
4922
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004923 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004924 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
4925
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004926 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00004927 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
4928
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00004929 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05004930 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004932- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004933 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004934 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4935 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4936 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004937
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004938 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4939 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4940 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4941 these initializations itself.

4954 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4955 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4956 previous 4k of the .text section.
4957
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004958- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4959 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4960 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4961 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4962 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4963 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4964 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4965 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4966
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004967- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4968 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4969 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4970 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4971 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4972
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004973- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4974 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4975 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4992
4993The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4994loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4995This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4996are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4997within that device.

5007 is also specified.
5008
5009- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
5010 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5011 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5012 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5013 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5014
5015- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
5016 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5017 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
5018 virtual address in NOR flash.

5040---------------------------------------------------------
5041The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
5042"firmware".
5043This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
5044are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
5045within that device.
5046
5047- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
5048 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
5049
5050- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
5051 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
5052 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
5053 is also specified.
5054
5055- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
5056 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
5057 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
5058 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
5059 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
5060
5061- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
5062 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
5063 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the

5067======================
5068
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005069Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5070and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5071all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5072(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5073recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5074which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005075
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005076If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5077have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5078you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5079Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5080necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005081
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005082 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5083 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005084
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05005085Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5086 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5087 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5088 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5089
5090 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5091
5092 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5093 be executed on computers running Windows.
5094
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005095U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5096sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005097is done by typing:
5098
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005099 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005100
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005101where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005102rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005103
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005104Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5105 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5106 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5107 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005108 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005109
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005110 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005111 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005112
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005113 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005114 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005115
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005116 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005117
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005118
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005119Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5120images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005121
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005122- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5123- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5124- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005125
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005126By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5127in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5128this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5129
51301. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5131
5132 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005133 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005134 make O=/tmp/build all
5135
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +020051362. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005137
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005138 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005139 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005140 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005141 make all
5142
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005143Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005144variable.
5145
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005146
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005147Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5148for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5149native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005150
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005151
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005152If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5153to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5154steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005155
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051561. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005157 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5158 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051592. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5160 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5161 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
51623. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5163 your board
51643. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5165 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020051664. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051675. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5168 to be installed on your target system.
51696. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5170 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005173Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5174==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005175
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005176If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5177or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005178provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5179the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005180official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005181
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005182But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5183cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005184the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5185just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005186for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5187select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5188environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5189you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005190
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005191 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005192
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005193or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005194
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005195 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005196
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005197When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5198U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5199setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5200built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5201<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5202location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5203variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005204
5205 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5206 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5207 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5208
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005209With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5210log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5211during the whole build process.

5275======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005276
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005277U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5278can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005279
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005280Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5281"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5282without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5283environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5284working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5285environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005300
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005301 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5302 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5303 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5304 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5305 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5306 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005307 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5308 bootm_mapsize.
5309
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005310 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005311 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5312 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5313 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5314 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5315 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5316 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005317
5318 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5319 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5320 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5321 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5322 environment variable.

5325 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5326 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5327
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005328 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5329 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5330 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5331 load any image using TFTP

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005333 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5334 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5335 be automatically started (by internally calling
5336 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005337
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005338 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5339 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5340 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5341 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5342 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005343
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005344 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5345 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005346 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5347 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5348 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5349 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5350 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5351 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5352 access it during the boot procedure.
5353
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005354 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5355 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5356 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5357 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5358 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5359 must be accessible by the kernel.
5360
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005361 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5362 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5363 defined.
5364
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005365 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5366 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5367 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5368 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5369 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5370
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005371 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5372 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5373 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5374 is usually what you want since it allows for
5375 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5376 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005377 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005378 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5379 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5380 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5381 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005382
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005383 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5384 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5385 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5386 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5387 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5388 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005389
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005390 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005391
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005392 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5393 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5394 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5395 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5396 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5397 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5398 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005417 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5418 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005419
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005420 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005425 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5426 available network interfaces.
5427 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5428
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005429 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005430 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5431 When set to "once" the network operation will
5432 fail when all the available network interfaces
5433 are tried once without success.
5434 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5435 themselves.

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005439 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005440 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5441 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5442 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5443 is silent.
5444
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005445 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005446 UDP source port.
5447
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005448 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5449 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5450
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005451 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5452 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5453
5454 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5455 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5456 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5457 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5458 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5459 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5460 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5461
5462 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005463 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005466The following image location variables contain the location of images
5467used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5468not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5469variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5470server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5471loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5472flash or offset in NAND flash.
5473
5474*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevamaed9fed2015-04-25 18:53:10 -03005475boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005476boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005500There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005501
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005502 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5503 as type string and/or serial number
5504 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005505
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005506These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5507the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5508once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005509
5510
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005511Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005512
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005513 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5514 with the "version" command. This variable is
5515 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005522Callback functions for environment variables:
5523---------------------------------------------
5524
5525For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005526when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005527be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5528deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5529effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5530
5531The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5532U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5533
5534These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5535static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5536in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5537associations. The list must be in the following format:
5538
5539 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5540 list = entry[,list]
5541
5542If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5543Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5544
5545Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5546with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5547override any association in the static list. You can define
5548CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005549".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005550
Joe Hershbergerbdf1fe42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05005551If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5552regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5553the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005565- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5566- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005567- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005568- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5569 for example:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005571- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:

5578 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5579 until...do...done, ...
5580- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5581 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5582 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005588(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5589 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5590 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5591 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005592
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005593(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005594 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005595 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5596 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005598Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5599=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005600
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005601Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005602such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5603"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005604
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005605Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5606MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5607"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005608
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005609If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5610in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5611ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5612variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005613
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005614o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5615 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005616
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005617o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5618 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5619 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005620
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005621o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005638Image Formats:
5639==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005640
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005641U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5642images in two formats:
5643
5644New uImage format (FIT)
5645-----------------------
5646
5647Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5648to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5649components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5650SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5651
5652
5653Old uImage format
5654-----------------
5655
5656Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5657preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5658details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005679Linux Support:
5680==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005681
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005682Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5683easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5684U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005685
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005686U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5687special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5688"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5689instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5690serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005691
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005692- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5693 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5694 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005695
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005696- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5697 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005698
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005699- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5700 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5701 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5702 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5703 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5704 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005705

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005707Linux HOWTO:
5708============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005709
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005710Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5711---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005712
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005713U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5714configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5715(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5716Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005717
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005718But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005719
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005720Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5721include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005722Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5723and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005724as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005725
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005726Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5727If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5728is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5729doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005731
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005732Configuring the Linux kernel:
5733-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005734
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005735No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5736device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005737
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005738
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005739Building a Linux Image:
5740-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005741
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005742With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5743not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5744"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5745U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5746which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5747100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005748
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005749Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005750
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005751 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005752 make oldconfig
5753 make dep
5754 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005755
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005756The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5757encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5758CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005759
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005760* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005761
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005762* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005763
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005764 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5765 -R .note -R .comment \
5766 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005767
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005768* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005769
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005770 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005771
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005772* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005773
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005774 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5775 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5776 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005777
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005778
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005779The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5780with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5781combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5782byte header containing information about target architecture,
5783operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5784stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005785
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005786"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5787print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005788
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005789In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5790contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5791checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005792
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005793 tools/mkimage -l image
5794 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005795
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005796The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5797from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005798
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005799 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5800 -n name -d data_file image
5801 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5802 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5803 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5804 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5805 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5806 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5807 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5808 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005809
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005810Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5811address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5812kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005813
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005814- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5815- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005816
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005817So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005818

5883-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005884
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005885To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5886you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005887
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005888 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005889
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005890The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5891image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5892address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5893specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5894command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006062More About U-Boot Image Types:
6063------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006064
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006065U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006066
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006067 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6068 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6069 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6070 the Standalone Program.
6071 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6072 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6073 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6074 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6075 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6076 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6077 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6078 being started.
6079 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6080 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6081 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6082 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6083 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6084 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006085
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006086 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6087 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6088 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6089 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6090 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6091 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006092
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006093 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6094 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6095 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006096
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006097 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6098 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6099 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6100 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006102Booting the Linux zImage:
6103-------------------------
6104
6105On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6106using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6107as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6108
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006109Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006110kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6111address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6112format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006118One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6119run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6120U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006121

6128application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
6129It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
6130like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006156Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6157handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6158Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6159The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6160character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6161controlled by the following keys:

6225=============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006226
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006227Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6228(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006229
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006230Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6231NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6232need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6233Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6234attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6235missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006236
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006237 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6238 # mkdir powerpc
6239 # ln -s powerpc machine
6240 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6241 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006242
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006243Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6244and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006245
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006246Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6247stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6248proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6249tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6254=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006255
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006256The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6257implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6258inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6259hardware.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006262Initial Stack, Global Data:
6263---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006264
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006265The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6266starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6267system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6268This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6269is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6270at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6271options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6272models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6273MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6274locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006275
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006276 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006284 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6285 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6286 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6287 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6288 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006289 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006290 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6291 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006293 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6294 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006295 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006296 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6297 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6298 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6299 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006300
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006301 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006302 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6303 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006304 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006305 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6306 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6307 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6308 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6309 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006314It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6315code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006316
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006317* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6318 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006319
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006320* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006321 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6322 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006323
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006324* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6325 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006326
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006327Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006328normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006329turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6330simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6331functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6332functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6333the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6334place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6335reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006336
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006337When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6338relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6339GCC's implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006340
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006341For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6342 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006343 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006344 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6345 R5-R10: parameter passing
6346 R13: small data area pointer
6347 R30: GOT pointer
6348 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006350 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6351 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6352 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006356 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6357 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6358 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6359 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6360 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6361 624 text + 127 data).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006409Memory Management:
6410------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006411
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006412U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6413MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006414
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006415The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6416controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6417memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6418physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006419
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006420U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6421TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6422booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6423to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006424memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006425configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6426Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006427
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006428Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6429of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006430
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006431So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6432this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006433

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006454System Initialization:
6455----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006456
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006457In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006458(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006459configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006460To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6461To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6462initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6463which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6464part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6465the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006466
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006467Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6468preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6469(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6470on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6471programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6472simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6473banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006474
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006475When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6476different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6477bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64780x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6479contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006480
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006481Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6482and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6483Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6484pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006485
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006486Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6487until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6488running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6489new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006569All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006570coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006571"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.

Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006573Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6574MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not

Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006576sources.
6577
6578Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6579Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6580in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006581
6582Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6583- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006584- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006585- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006586- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006587- do not add trailing empty lines to source files

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006596Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6597establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6598may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.

Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006602Patches shall be sent to the u-boot mailing list <u-boot@lists.denx.de>;
6603see http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
6604
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006605When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6606it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006607
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006608* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6609 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6610 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006611
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006612* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6613 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006614
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006615* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6616
6617* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6618
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006619* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6620 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006621
6622* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6623 document these in the README file.
6624
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006625* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6626 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006627 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006628 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6629 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006630
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006631 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6632 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6633 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006634
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006635 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6636 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6637 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6638 affected files).
6639
6640 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6641 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006642
6643* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6644 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6645
6646* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6647 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6648
6649
6650Notes:
6651
6652* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6653 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6654 for any of the boards.
6655
6656* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6657 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6658 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6659
6660* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6661 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6662 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6663 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6664 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6665 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006666
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006667* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6668 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6669 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6670 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
