24Summary:
25========

wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000027This directory contains the source code for U-Boot, a boot loader for
wdenke86e5a02004-10-17 21:12:06 +000028Embedded boards based on PowerPC, ARM, MIPS and several other
29processors, which can be installed in a boot ROM and used to
30initialize and test the hardware or to download and run application
31code.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000032
33The development of U-Boot is closely related to Linux: some parts of
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000034the source code originate in the Linux source tree, we have some
35header files in common, and special provision has been made to
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000036support booting of Linux images.
37
38Some attention has been paid to make this software easily
39configurable and extendable. For instance, all monitor commands are
40implemented with the same call interface, so that it's very easy to
41add new commands. Also, instead of permanently adding rarely used
42code (for instance hardware test utilities) to the monitor, you can
43load and run it dynamically.
44
45
46Status:
47=======
48
49In general, all boards for which a configuration option exists in the
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +000050Makefile have been tested to some extent and can be considered
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +000051"working". In fact, many of them are used in production systems.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000228Software Configuration:
229=======================
230
231Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
232rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
233
234There are two classes of configuration variables:
235
236* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
237 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
238 "CONFIG_".
239
240* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
241 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
242 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200243 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000244
245Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
246identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
247do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
248links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
249as an example here.
250
251
252Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
253---------------------------------------------------
254
255For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
256configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_config".
257
258Example: For a TQM823L module type:
259
260 cd u-boot
261 make TQM823L_config
262
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200263For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000264e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_config". And also configure the cogent
265directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
266
267
268Configuration Options:
269----------------------
270
271Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
272such information is kept in a configuration file
273"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
274
275Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
276"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
277
278
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000279Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
280kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
281build a config tool - later.
282
283
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000284The following options need to be configured:

wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +0000347 Define this to measure the actual CPU clock instead
348 of relying on the correctness of the configured
349 values. Mostly useful for board bringup to make sure
350 the PLL is locked at the intended frequency. Note
351 that this requires a (stable) reference clock (32 kHz
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200352 RTC clock or CONFIG_SYS_8XX_XIN)

362 Defines the Monahans run mode to oscillator
363 ratio. Valid values are 8, 16, 24, 31. The core

Wolfgang Denkcf48eb92006-04-16 10:51:58 +0200367
Markus Klotzbuecher0b953ff2006-03-24 15:28:02 +0100368 Defines the Monahans turbo mode to oscillator
369 ratio. Valid values are 1 (default if undefined) and
Wolfgang Denkcf48eb92006-04-16 10:51:58 +0200370 2. The core frequency as calculated above is multiplied
Markus Klotzbuecher0b953ff2006-03-24 15:28:02 +0100371 by this value.

wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000373- Linux Kernel Interface:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000374 CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ
375
376 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
377 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
378 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
379 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
380 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
381 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
382 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000383 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +0100384 "clocks_in_mhz=1" is automatically included in the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000385 default environment.
386
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000387 CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES [relevant for MIPS only]
388
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200389 When transferring memsize parameter to linux, some versions
wdenk5da627a2003-10-09 20:09:04 +0000390 expect it to be in bytes, others in MB.
391 Define CONFIG_MEMSIZE_IN_BYTES to make it in bytes.
392
Gerald Van Barenfec6d9e2008-06-03 20:34:45 -0400393 CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
Wolfgang Denkf57f70a2005-10-13 01:45:54 +0200394
395 New kernel versions are expecting firmware settings to be
Gerald Van Baren213bf8c2007-03-31 12:23:51 -0400396 passed using flattened device trees (based on open firmware
397 concepts).
398

Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500419 CONFIG_OF_BOOT_CPU
420
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200421 This define fills in the correct boot CPU in the boot
Matthew McClintock02677682006-06-28 10:41:37 -0500422 param header, the default value is zero if undefined.
423
Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200424 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
425
426 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
427 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
428 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
429 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
430 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
431 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
432
Niklaus Giger0b2f4ec2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100433- vxWorks boot parameters:
434
435 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
436 environments variables: bootfile, ipaddr, serverip, hostname.
437 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
438
439 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_DEVICE - The vxworks device name
440 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_MAC_PTR - Ethernet 6 byte MA -address
441 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_SERVERNAME - Name of the server
442 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_BOOT_ADDR - Address of boot parameters
443
444 CONFIG_SYS_VXWORKS_ADD_PARAMS
445
446 Add it at the end of the bootline. E.g "u=username pw=secret"
447
448 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
449 the defaults discussed just above.
450
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000451- Serial Ports:
Andreas Engel48d01922008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200452 CONFIG_PL010_SERIAL
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000453
454 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL010 UARTs.
455
Andreas Engel48d01922008-09-08 14:30:53 +0200456 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000457
458 Define this if you want support for Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs.
459
460 CONFIG_PL011_CLOCK
461
462 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL011 UARTs, set this variable to
463 the clock speed of the UARTs.
464
465 CONFIG_PL01x_PORTS
466
467 If you have Amba PrimeCell PL010 or PL011 UARTs on your board,
468 define this to a list of base addresses for each (supported)
469 port. See e.g. include/configs/versatile.h
470
471
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000472- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000473 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
474 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
475 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
476 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000477
478 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
479 port routines must be defined elsewhere
480 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
481
482 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000521 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
522 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
523 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000524
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000525 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
526 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
527 the "silent" environment variable. See
528 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenka3ad8e22003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000529
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000530- Console Baudrate:
531 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
532 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200533 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
534 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000535
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100536- Console Rx buffer length
537 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
538 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100539 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100540 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
541 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
542 the SMC.
543
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000544- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
545 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
546 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
547
548 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
549 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
550 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
551 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
552 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
553 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
554 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
555 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
556 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
557 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
558 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
559 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
560
561- Autoboot Command:
562 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
563 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
564 define a command string that is automatically executed
565 when no character is read on the console interface
566 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
567
568 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000569 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
570 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
571 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000572
573 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000574 The value of these goes into the environment as
575 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
576 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200577 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000578
579- Pre-Boot Commands:
580 CONFIG_PREBOOT
581
582 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
583 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
584 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
585 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
586 entering interactive mode.
587
588 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
589 automatically generated or modified. For an example
590 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
591 modified when the user holds down a certain
592 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
593 booting the systems
594
595- Serial Download Echo Mode:
596 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
597 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
598 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
599 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
600 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
601 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
602 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
603

609- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500610 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
611 from the build by using the #include files
612 "config_cmd_all.h" and #undef'ing unwanted
613 commands, or using "config_cmd_default.h"
614 and augmenting with additional #define's
615 for wanted commands.

707 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500708 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000709 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
710 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
711 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
712 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
713 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
714 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000715

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200945 attach your USB cable. The Unix command "dmesg" should print
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +0200946 it has found a new device. The environment variable usbtty
947 can be set to gserial or cdc_acm to enable your device to
Wolfgang Denk386eda02006-06-14 18:14:56 +0200948 appear to a USB host as a Linux gserial device or a
Wolfgang Denk16c8d5e2006-06-14 17:45:53 +0200949 Common Device Class Abstract Control Model serial device.
950 If you select usbtty = gserial you should be able to enumerate
951 a Linux host by
952 # modprobe usbserial vendor=0xVendorID product=0xProductID
953 else if using cdc_acm, simply setting the environment
954 variable usbtty to be cdc_acm should suffice. The following
955 might be defined in YourBoardName.h

1083 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
1084 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1085 support, and should also define these other macros:

1096 The DIU driver will look for the 'monitor' environment variable,
1097 and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during boot. This
1098 variable should be set to one of these values:
1099
1100 '0' Output video to the DVI connector

wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001164- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001165
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001166 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1167 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1168 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001169 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001170 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1171 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1172 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1173 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001174
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001175 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1176
1177 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1178 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1179 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1180 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1181 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1182 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1183
1184 Example:
1185 setenv splashpos m,m
1186 => image at center of screen
1187
1188 setenv splashpos 30,20
1189 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1190
1191 setenv splashpos -10,m
1192 => vertically centered image
1193 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1194
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001195- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1196
1197 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1198 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1199 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1200
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001201- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1202
1203 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1204 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1205 bmp command.
1206
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001207- Compression support:
1208 CONFIG_BZIP2
1209
1210 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1211 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1212 compressed images are supported.
1213
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001214 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001215 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001216 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001217
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001218 CONFIG_LZMA
1219
1220 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1221 images is included.
1222
1223 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1224 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1225 formula:
1226
1227 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1228
1229 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1230 and Literal pos bits.
1231
1232 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1233 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1234 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1235 a very small buffer.
1236
1237 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1238 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001239 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).

1252 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001253 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001254
1255 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1256
1257 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1258 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1259 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1260 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1261
1262 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1263
1264 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1265 command issued before MII status register can be read

1281
1282 Define a default value for the IP address to use for
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001283 the default Ethernet interface, in case this is not
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001284 determined through e.g. bootp.

1295 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
1296
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001297- Multicast TFTP Mode:
1298 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
1299
1300 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
1301 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001302 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05001303 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
1304 multicast group.
1305
1306 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001307- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
1308 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
1309
1310 If you have many targets in a network that try to
1311 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
1312 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
1313 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
1314 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
1315 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
1316 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
1317 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02001318 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001319
1320 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
1321 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
1322 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
1323 4th and following

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001343 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
1344 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00001345
1346 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
1347 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
1348 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
1349 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
1350 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
1351 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
1352 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS

1355 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
1356 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
1357 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04001358 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05001359 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
1360 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11001362 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
1363
1364 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
1365 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
1366 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
1367 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
1368 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
1369 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
1370 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
1371 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
1372 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
1373 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
1374 this delay.

wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001376 - CDP Options:
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00001377 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001378
1379 The device id used in CDP trigger frames.
1380
1381 CONFIG_CDP_DEVICE_ID_PREFIX
1382
1383 A two character string which is prefixed to the MAC address
1384 of the device.
1385
1386 CONFIG_CDP_PORT_ID
1387
1388 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
1389 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001390 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00001391
1392 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES
1393
1394 A 32bit integer which indicates the device capabilities;
1395 0x00000010 for a normal host which does not forwards.
1396
1397 CONFIG_CDP_VERSION
1398
1399 An ascii string containing the version of the software.
1400
1401 CONFIG_CDP_PLATFORM
1402
1403 An ascii string containing the name of the platform.
1404

1417
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001418- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
1419
1420 Several configurations allow to display the current
1421 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
1422 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
1423 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
1424 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
1425 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
1426 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
1427 feature in U-Boot.
1428
1429- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
1430
1431 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
1432 on those systems that support this (optional)
1433 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
1434
1435- I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C | CONFIG_SOFT_I2C
1436
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001437 These enable I2C serial bus commands. Defining either of
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001438 (but not both of) CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C will
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001439 include the appropriate I2C driver for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001440
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001441 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001442 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001443 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
1444 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001445 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001446
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001447 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001448
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001449 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C configures u-boot to use a software (aka
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001450 bit-banging) driver instead of CPM or similar hardware
1451 support for I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001452
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001453 There are several other quantities that must also be
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001454 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C or CONFIG_SOFT_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001455
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001456 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001457 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001458 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001459 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001460
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001461 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02001462 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05001463 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
1464 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
1465 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001466
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05001467 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
1468
1469 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1470 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1471 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
1472 commands until the slave device responds.
1473
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001474 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001475
1476 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SOFT_I2C)
1477 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
1478 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001479
1480 I2C_INIT
1481
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001482 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001483 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001484
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001485 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001486
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001487 I2C_PORT
1488
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001489 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
1490 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
1491 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001492
1493 I2C_ACTIVE
1494
1495 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
1496 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
1497 define can be null.
1498
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001499 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
1500
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001501 I2C_TRISTATE
1502
1503 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
1504 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
1505 define can be null.
1506
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001507 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
1508
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001509 I2C_READ
1510
1511 Code that returns TRUE if the I2C data line is high,
1512 FALSE if it is low.
1513
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001514 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
1515
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001516 I2C_SDA(bit)
1517
1518 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C data line high. If it
1519 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1520
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001521 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001522 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SDA; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001523 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SDA
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001524
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001525 I2C_SCL(bit)
1526
1527 If <bit> is TRUE, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
1528 is FALSE, it clears it (low).
1529
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001530 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00001531 if(bit) immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat |= PB_SCL; \
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00001532 else immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat &= ~PB_SCL
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001533
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001534 I2C_DELAY
1535
1536 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
1537 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001538 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00001539 like:
1540
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001541 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001542
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04001543 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
1544
1545 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
1546 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
1547 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
1548 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
1549
1550 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
1551 the generic GPIO functions.
1552
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001553 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001554
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001555 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
1556 chips might think that the current transfer is still
1557 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
1558 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
1559 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
1560 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
1561 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
1562 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001563
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04001564 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
1565
1566 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
1567 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
1568 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
1569 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
1570 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
1571 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
1572 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
1573 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
1574
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001575 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
1576
1577 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
1578 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
1579 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
1580
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001581 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1582
1583 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
1584 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
1585 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
1586 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
1587
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001588 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001589
1590 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05001591 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
1592 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
1593 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001594
1595 e.g.
1596 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001597 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001598
1599 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
1600
1601 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001602 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04001603
1604 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
1605
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001606 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001607
1608 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
1609 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
1610
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001611 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001612
1613 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
1614 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
1615
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001616 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01001617
1618 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
1619 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
1620
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001621 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07001622
1623 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
1624 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
1625 specified DTT device.
1626
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001627 CONFIG_FSL_I2C
1628
1629 Define this option if you want to use Freescale's I2C driver in
Marcel Ziswiler7817cb22007-12-30 03:30:46 +01001630 drivers/i2c/fsl_i2c.c.
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06001631
Heiko Schocher67b23a32008-10-15 09:39:47 +02001632 CONFIG_I2C_MUX
1633
1634 Define this option if you have I2C devices reached over 1 .. n
1635 I2C Muxes like the pca9544a. This option addes a new I2C
1636 Command "i2c bus [muxtype:muxaddr:muxchannel]" which adds a
1637 new I2C Bus to the existing I2C Busses. If you select the
1638 new Bus with "i2c dev", u-bbot sends first the commandos for
1639 the muxes to activate this new "bus".
1640
1641 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS must be also defined, to use this
1642 feature!
1643
1644 Example:
1645 Adding a new I2C Bus reached over 2 pca9544a muxes
1646 The First mux with address 70 and channel 6
1647 The Second mux with address 71 and channel 4
1648
1649 => i2c bus pca9544a:70:6:pca9544a:71:4
1650
1651 Use the "i2c bus" command without parameter, to get a list
1652 of I2C Busses with muxes:
1653
1654 => i2c bus
1655 Busses reached over muxes:
1656 Bus ID: 2
1657 reached over Mux(es):
1658 pca9544a@70 ch: 4
1659 Bus ID: 3
1660 reached over Mux(es):
1661 pca9544a@70 ch: 6
1662 pca9544a@71 ch: 4
1663 =>
1664
1665 If you now switch to the new I2C Bus 3 with "i2c dev 3"
1666 u-boot sends First the Commando to the mux@70 to enable
1667 channel 6, and then the Commando to the mux@71 to enable
1668 the channel 4.
1669
1670 After that, you can use the "normal" i2c commands as
1671 usual, to communicate with your I2C devices behind
1672 the 2 muxes.
1673
1674 This option is actually implemented for the bitbanging
1675 algorithm in common/soft_i2c.c and for the Hardware I2C
1676 Bus on the MPC8260. But it should be not so difficult
1677 to add this option to other architectures.
1678
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06001679 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
1680
1681 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
1682 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
1683 between writing the address pointer and reading the
1684 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
1685 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
1686 devices can use either method, but some require one or
1687 the other.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001707 Enables a software (bit-bang) SPI driver rather than
1708 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
1709 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
1710 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
1711 defined, the board configuration must define several
1712 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
1713 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001788
1789- Configuration Management:
1790 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
1791
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001792 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
1793 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001794
1795- Vendor Parameter Protection:
1796
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001797 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
1798 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001799 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001800 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
1801 protects these variables from casual modification by
1802 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
1803 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001804 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001805
1806 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
1807 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00001808 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001809 these parameters.
1810
1811 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
1812 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001813 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001814 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
1815 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
1816 read-only.]
1817
1818- Protected RAM:
1819 CONFIG_PRAM
1820
1821 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
1822 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
1823 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
1824 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
1825 this default value by defining an environment
1826 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
1827 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
1828 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
1829 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
1830 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
1831 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
1832 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
1833
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01001834 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001835 saveenv
1836
1837 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
1838 either, which results in a memory region that will
1839 not be affected by reboots.
1840
1841 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
1842 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
1843 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
1844 following board configurations are known to be
1845 "pRAM-clean":
1846
1847 ETX094, IVMS8, IVML24, SPD8xx, TQM8xxL,
1848 HERMES, IP860, RPXlite, LWMON, LANTEC,
Wolfgang Denk544d97e2010-10-05 22:54:53 +02001849 FLAGADM, TQM8260
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001850
1851- Error Recovery:
1852 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
1853
1854 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
1855 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
1856 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001857 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001858 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
1859 useful during development since you can try to debug
1860 the conditions that lead to the situation.
1861
1862 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
1863
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001864 This variable defines the number of retries for
1865 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
1866 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
1867 default value of 5 is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001868
Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02001869 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
1870
1871 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
1872
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001873- Command Interpreter:
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02001874 CONFIG_AUTO_COMPLETE
wdenk04a85b32004-04-15 18:22:41 +00001875
1876 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
1877
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01001878 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
1879 for the "hush" shell.
Wolfgang Denk8078f1a2006-10-28 02:28:02 +02001880
1881
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001882 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001883
1884 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
1885 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
1886 powerful command line syntax like
1887 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
1888 constructs ("shell scripts").
1889
1890 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
1891 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
1892
1893
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001894 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001895
1896 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
1897 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
1898 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
1899
1900 Note:
1901
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001902 In the current implementation, the local variables
1903 space and global environment variables space are
1904 separated. Local variables are those you define by
1905 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
1906 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
1907 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
1908 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001909
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001910 Global environment variables are those you use
1911 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
1912 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
1913 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001914
1915 To store commands and special characters in a
1916 variable, please use double quotation marks
1917 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
1918 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
1919 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001928 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
1929
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001930 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
1931 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001932 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00001933
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001934 For example, place something like this in your
1935 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001936
1937 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
1938 "myvar1=value1\0" \
1939 "myvar2=value2\0"
1940
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001941 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
1942 internal format how the environment is stored by the
1943 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
1944 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001945 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001946 You better know what you are doing here.
1947
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001948 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
1949 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02001950 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001951 boot command first.

wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00001954 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
1955
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001956 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
1957 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
1958 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00001959
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001960- SystemACE Support:
1961 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
1962
1963 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
1964 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001965 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001966 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001967
1968 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001969 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00001970
1971 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
1972 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.

Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001977 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001978 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001979 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001980 number generator is used.
1981
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02001982 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
1983 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
1984 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
1985
1986 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02001987 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
1988 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
1989 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
1990 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
1991 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
1992 but sometimes that is not allowed.

1996
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001997 Defining this option allows to add some board-
1998 specific code (calling a user-provided function
1999 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
2000 the system's boot progress on some display (for
2001 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
2002 the following checkpoints are implemented:

2005 CONFIG_STANDALONE_LOAD_ADDR
2006
2007 This option allows to define board specific values
2008 for the address where standalone program gets loaded,
2009 thus overwriting the architecutre dependent default
2010 settings.

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002202- Interrupt support (PPC):
2203
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002204 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
2205 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002206 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002207 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002208 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002209 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002210 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00002211 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
2212 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
2213 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002215- General:
2216
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002217 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
2218 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
2219 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002220 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002221 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
2222 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
2223 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002224
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002225 If there are no modem init strings in the
2226 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
2227 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002228 suppressed, though.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002284- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
2285 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002286 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002287 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002288 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
2289 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
2290 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002291 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that

Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01002293 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01002294
2295 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
2296 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
2297 be touched.
2298
2299 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
2300 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
2301 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a

2388 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
2389 without this option such a download has to be
2390 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
2391 copy from RAM to flash.
2392
2393 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
2394 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002395 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
2396 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002446The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
2447of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
2448following configurations:
2449
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002450- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002451
2452 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
2453
2454 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
2455 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
2456 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
2457 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
2458 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
2459 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
2460 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
2461 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
2462 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
2463 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
2464 between U-Boot and the environment.
2465
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002466 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002467
2468 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
2469 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
2470 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
2471 for this sector is given here.
2472
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002473 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002475 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002476
2477 This is just another way to specify the start address of
2478 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002479 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002480
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002481 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002482
2483 Size of the sector containing the environment.
2484
2485
2486 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
2487 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
2488 the environment.
2489
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002490 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002491
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02002492 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002493 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002494 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
2495 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
2496
2497 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
2498 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
2499 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
2500 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
2501 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
2502 updating the environment in flash makes it always
2503 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
2504 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
2505 RAM, your target system will be dead.

Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002529 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002530 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
2531 can just be read and written to, without any special
2532 provision.
2533
2534BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
2535in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002536console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002537U-Boot will hang.
2538
2539Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
2540environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
2541keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
2542to save the current settings.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002573 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00002574 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
2575 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
2576 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
2577 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
2578 byte chips.
2579
2580 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
2581 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
2582 in the chip address.

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002623 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
2624 aligned to an erase block boundary.

Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002627
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02002628 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002629 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
2630 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
2631 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
2632 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01002633
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05002634 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
2635
2636 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
2637 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
2638 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
2639 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
2640 the range to be avoided.
2641
2642 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
2643
2644 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
2645 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
2646 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
2647 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
2648 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02002650- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
2651
2652 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
2653 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
2654 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
2655
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002656- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002657
2658 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
2659 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
2660 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
2661 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
2662 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
2663 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
2664 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
2665
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07002666Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002667has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02002668created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002669until then to read environment variables.
2670
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002671The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
2672is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
2673with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
2674necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
2675"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
2676have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002677
2678Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
2679the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00002680use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

2894 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
2895
2896- CONFIG_RMII
2897 Enable RMII mode for all FECs.
2898 Note that this is a global option, we can't
2899 have one FEC in standard MII mode and another in RMII mode.
2900

2904
2905 => crc32 -v <address> <count> <crc32>
2906
2907 Where address/count indicate a memory area
2908 and crc32 is the correct crc32 which the

2917 "md/mw" commands.
2918 Examples:
2919
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002920 => mdc.b 10 4 500
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002921 This command will print 4 bytes (10,11,12,13) each 500 ms.
2922
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002923 => mwc.l 100 12345678 10
stroese7b466642004-12-16 18:46:55 +00002924 This command will write 12345678 to address 100 all 10 ms.
2925
wdenkefe2a4d2004-12-16 21:44:03 +00002926 This only takes effect if the memory commands are activated
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002927 globally (CONFIG_CMD_MEM).

wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00002929- CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01002930 [ARM only] If this variable is defined, then certain
2931 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
2932 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
2933 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00002934
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01002935 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
2936 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
2937 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
2938 these initializations itself.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002945Building the Software:
2946======================
2947
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002948Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
2949and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
2950all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
2951(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
2952recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
2953which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002954
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002955If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
2956have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
2957you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
2958Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
2959necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002960
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002961 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
2962 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002963
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05002964Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
2965 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
2966 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
2967 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
2968
2969 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
2970
2971 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
2972 be executed on computers running Windows.
2973
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002974U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
2975sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002976is done by typing:
2977
2978 make NAME_config
2979
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01002980where "NAME_config" is the name of one of the existing configu-
2981rations; see the main Makefile for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00002982
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002983Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
2984 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
2985 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
2986 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002987 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002988
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002989 make TQM823L_config
2990 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002991
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002992 make TQM823L_LCD_config
2993 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002994
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002995 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002996
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002997
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00002998Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
2999images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003000
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003001- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
3002- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
3003- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003004
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003005By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
3006in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
3007this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
3008
30091. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
3010
3011 make O=/tmp/build distclean
3012 make O=/tmp/build NAME_config
3013 make O=/tmp/build all
3014
30152. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
3016
3017 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3018 make distclean
3019 make NAME_config
3020 make all
3021
3022Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
3023variable.
3024
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003025
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003026Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
3027for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
3028native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003029
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003030
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003031If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
3032to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
3033steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003034
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000030351. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
3036 "Makefile" and to the "MAKEALL" script, using the existing
3037 entries as examples. Note that here and at many other places
3038 boards and other names are listed in alphabetical sort order. Please
3039 keep this order.
30402. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
3041 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
3042 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
30433. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
3044 your board
30453. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
3046 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
30474. Run "make <board>_config" with your new name.
30485. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
3049 to be installed on your target system.
30506. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
3051 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

3055==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003056
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003057If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
3058or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003059provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
3060the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003061official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003062
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003063But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
3064cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003065the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
3066just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003067for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
3068select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
3069environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
3070you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003071
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003072 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003073
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003074or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003075
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003076 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003077
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003078When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
3079U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
3080setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
3081built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
3082<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
3083location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
3084variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02003085
3086 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
3087 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
3088 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
3089
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01003090With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
3091log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
3092during the whole build process.

3151
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003152Environment Variables:
3153======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003154
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003155U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
3156can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003157
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003158Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
3159"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
3160without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
3161environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
3162working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
3163environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003164
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003165Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
3166
3167List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003168
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003169 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003170
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003171 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003172
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003173 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003174
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003175 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003176
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003177 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003178
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003179 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3180 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3181 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
3182 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
3183 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
3184 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003185 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003186
3187 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
3188 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
3189 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
3190 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
3191 environment variable.
3192
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02003193 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
3194 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
3195 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
3196
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003197 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
3198 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
3199 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
3200 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003201
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003202 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
3203 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
3204 be automatically started (by internally calling
3205 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003206
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003207 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
3208 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
3209 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
3210 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
3211 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003212
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00003213 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
3214 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
3215 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
3216 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
3217 it must be saved and board must be reset.
3218
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003219 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
3220 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
3221 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
3222 is usually what you want since it allows for
3223 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
3224 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003225 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003226 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
3227 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
3228 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
3229 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003230
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003231 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
3232 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
3233 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
3234 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
3235 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
3236 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003237
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003238 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003239
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003240 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
3241 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
3242 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
3243 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
3244 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
3245 boot time on your system, but requires that this
3246 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00003247
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003248 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003249

3251 "rarpboot", "tftpboot", "loadb" or "diskboot"
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003252
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003253 loads_echo - see CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO

3264 interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003265
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003266 ethact - When CONFIG_NET_MULTI is enabled controls which
3267 interface is currently active. For example you
3268 can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003269
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02003270 => setenv ethact FEC
3271 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
3272 => setenv ethact SCC
3273 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003274
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01003275 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
3276 available network interfaces.
3277 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
3278
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003279 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003280 either succeed or fail without retrying.
3281 When set to "once" the network operation will
3282 fail when all the available network interfaces
3283 are tried once without success.
3284 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
3285 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003286
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01003287 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01003288
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003289 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003290 UDP source port.
3291
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003292 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
3293 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
3294
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01003295 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
3296 we use the TFTP server's default block size
3297
3298 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
3299 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
3300 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
3301 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
3302 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
3303 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
3304 with unreliable TFTP servers.
3305
3306 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003307 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003331These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
3332the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
3333once they have been set once.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003337
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003338 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
3339 with the "version" command. This variable is

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003350There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
3351the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003353Old, simple command line parser:
3354--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003355
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003356- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
3357- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003358- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003359- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
3360 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01003361 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003362- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
3363 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003364

3366-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003367
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003368- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
3369 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
3370 until...do...done, ...
3371- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
3372 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
3373 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
3374 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003375
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003376General rules:
3377--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003378
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003379(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
3380 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
3381 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
3382 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003383
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003384(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003385 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003386 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
3387 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003389Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
3390=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003391
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003392Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003393such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
3394"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003395
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003396Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
3397MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
3398"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003399
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003400If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
3401in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
3402ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
3403variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00003404
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003405o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
3406 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003407
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003408o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
3409 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
3410 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003411
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003412o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
3413 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003414
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003415o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
3416 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
3417 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003418
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003419o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
3420 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003421
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07003422If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
3423will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
3424may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
3425The naming convention is as follows:
3426"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003427
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003428Image Formats:
3429==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003430
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01003431U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
3432images in two formats:
3433
3434New uImage format (FIT)
3435-----------------------
3436
3437Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
3438to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
3439components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
3440SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
3441
3442
3443Old uImage format
3444-----------------
3445
3446Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
3447preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
3448details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003449
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003450* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003464The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
3465and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
3466CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003467
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003468
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003469Linux Support:
3470==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003471
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003472Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
3473easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
3474U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003475
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003476U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
3477special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
3478"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
3479instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
3480serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003481
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003482- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
3483 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
3484 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003485
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003486- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
3487 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003488
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003489- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
3490 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
3491 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
3492 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
3493 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
3494 software is easier now.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003497Linux HOWTO:
3498============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003499
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003500Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
3501---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003502
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003503U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
3504configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
3505(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
3506Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003507
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02003508But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003509
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003510Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
3511include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02003512Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
3513and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003514as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003515
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003516
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003517Configuring the Linux kernel:
3518-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003519
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003520No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
3521device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003522
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003523
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003524Building a Linux Image:
3525-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003526
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003527With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
3528not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
3529"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
3530U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
3531which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
3532100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003533
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003534Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003535
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003536 make TQM850L_config
3537 make oldconfig
3538 make dep
3539 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003540
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003541The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
3542encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
3543CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003544
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003545* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003546
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003547* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003548
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003549 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
3550 -R .note -R .comment \
3551 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003552
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003553* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003554
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003555 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003556
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003557* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003558
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003559 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
3560 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
3561 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003562
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003563
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003564The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
3565with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
3566combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
3567byte header containing information about target architecture,
3568operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
3569stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003570
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003571"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
3572print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003573
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003574In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
3575contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
3576checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003577
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003578 tools/mkimage -l image
3579 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003580
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003581The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
3582from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00003583

wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00003595Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
3596address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
3597kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003598
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003599- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
3600- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003601
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003602So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003603

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003657Installing a Linux Image:
3658-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00003659
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003660To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
3661you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00003662
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003663 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00003664
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003665The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
3666image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
3667address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
3668specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
3669command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003837More About U-Boot Image Types:
3838------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00003839
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003840U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00003841
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003842 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
3843 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
3844 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
3845 the Standalone Program.
3846 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
3847 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
3848 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
3849 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
3850 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
3851 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
3852 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
3853 being started.
3854 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
3855 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
3856 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
3857 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
3858 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
3859 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00003860
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003861 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
3862 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
3863 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
3864 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003872 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
3873 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
3874 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
3875 as command interpreter.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003881One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
3882run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
3883U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003884

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003890'examples/hello_world.c' contains a small "Hello World" Demo
3891application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
3892It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
3893like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003919Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
3920handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
3921Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
3922The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
3923character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
3924controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003987Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
3988(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003989
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003990Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
3991NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
3992need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
3993Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
3994attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
3995missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003996
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00003997 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
3998 # mkdir powerpc
3999 # ln -s powerpc machine
4000 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
4001 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004002
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004003Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
4004and U-Boot include files.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004006Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
4007stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
4008proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
4009tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

4014=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004015
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004016The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
4017implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
4018inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
4019hardware.

4023---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004024
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004025The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
4026starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
4027system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
4028This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
4029is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
4030at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
4031options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
4032models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
4033MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
4034locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004035

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004044 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
4045 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
4046 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
4047 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
4048 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004049 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004050 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
4051 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004052
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004053 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
4054 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004055 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004056 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
4057 board designers haven't used it for something that would
4058 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
4059 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004060
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004061 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004062 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
4063 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02004064 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004065 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
4066 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
4067 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
4068 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
4069 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004074It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
4075code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004076
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004077* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
4078 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004079
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004080* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004081 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
4082 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004083
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004084* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
4085 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004086
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004087Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
4088normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
4089turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
4090simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
4091functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
4092functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
4093the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
4094place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
4095reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004096
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004097When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
4098relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
4099GCC's implementation.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004101For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
4102 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01004103 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004104 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
4105 R5-R10: parameter passing
4106 R13: small data area pointer
4107 R30: GOT pointer
4108 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01004110 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
4111 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
4112 going back and forth between asm and C)

Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01004114 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004115
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004116 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
4117 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
4118 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
4119 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
4120 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
4121 624 text + 127 data).

4145 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
4146
4147 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
4148 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02004150NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
4151or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004153Memory Management:
4154------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004155
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004156U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
4157MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004158
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004159The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
4160controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
4161memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
4162physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004163
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004164U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
4165TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
4166booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
4167to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004168memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004169configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
4170Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004171
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004172Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
4173of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004174
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004175So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
4176this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004177
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004178 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
4179 :
4180 0x0000 1FFF
4181 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use

4187 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
4188 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data

4194 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
4195 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]

4197
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004198System Initialization:
4199----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004200
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004201In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004202(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004203configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
4204To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
4205To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
4206initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
4207which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
4208part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
4209the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004210
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004211Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
4212preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
4213(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
4214on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
4215programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
4216simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
4217banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004218
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004219When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
4220different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
4221bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
42220x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
4223contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004224
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004225Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
4226and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
4227Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
4228pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004229
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004230Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
4231until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
4232running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
4233new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004310Coding Standards:
4311-----------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004312
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004313All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02004314coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
4315"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory. In sources
4316originating from U-Boot a style corresponding to "Lindent -pcs" (adding
4317spaces before parameters to function calls) is actually used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004318
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02004319Source files originating from a different project (for example the
4320MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
4321reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
4322sources.
4323
4324Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
4325Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
4326in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004327
4328Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
4329- remove any trailing white space
4330- use TAB characters for indentation, not spaces
4331- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
4332- do not add more than 2 empty lines to source files
4333- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
4334
4335Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
4336with a request to reformat the changes.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004341
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004342Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
4343establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
4344may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.

4350
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004351When you send a patch, please include the following information with
4352it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004353
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004354* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
4355 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
4356 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004357
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004358* For new features: a description of the feature and your
4359 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004360
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004361* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
4362
4363* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
4364
4365* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add this
4366 board to the MAKEALL script, too.
4367
4368* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
4369 document these in the README file.
4370
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004371* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
4372 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
4373 "git-format-patch". If you then use "git-send-email" to send it to
4374 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
4375 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004376
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004377 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
4378 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
4379 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004380
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004381 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
4382 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
4383 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
4384 affected files).
4385
4386 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
4387 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004388
4389* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
4390 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
4391
4392* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
4393 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
4394
4395
4396Notes:
4397
4398* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
4399 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
4400 for any of the boards.
4401
4402* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
4403 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
4404 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
4405
4406* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
4407 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
4408 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
4409 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
4410 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
4411 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00004412
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01004413* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
4414 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
4415 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
4416 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
