8Summary:

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

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

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

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000171Software Configuration:
172=======================
173
174Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
175rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
176
177There are two classes of configuration variables:
178
179* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
180 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
181 "CONFIG_".
182
183* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
184 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
185 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200186 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000187
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500188Previously, all configuration was done by hand, which involved creating
189symbolic links and editing configuration files manually. More recently,
190U-Boot has added the Kbuild infrastructure used by the Linux kernel,
191allowing you to use the "make menuconfig" command to configure your
192build.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000193
194
195Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
196---------------------------------------------------
197
198For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200199configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000200
201Example: For a TQM823L module type:
202
203 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200204 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000205
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500206Note: If you're looking for the default configuration file for a board
207you're sure used to be there but is now missing, check the file
208doc/README.scrapyard for a list of no longer supported boards.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000209
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600210Sandbox Environment:
211--------------------
212
213U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
214board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
215specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
216run some of U-Boot's tests.
217
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530218See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.

220
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700221Board Initialisation Flow:
222--------------------------
223
224This is the intended start-up flow for boards. This should apply for both
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500225SPL and U-Boot proper (i.e. they both follow the same rules).
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700226
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -0500227Note: "SPL" stands for "Secondary Program Loader," which is explained in
228more detail later in this file.
229
230At present, SPL mostly uses a separate code path, but the function names
231and roles of each function are the same. Some boards or architectures
232may not conform to this. At least most ARM boards which use
233CONFIG_SPL_FRAMEWORK conform to this.
234
235Execution typically starts with an architecture-specific (and possibly
236CPU-specific) start.S file, such as:
237
238 - arch/arm/cpu/armv7/start.S
239 - arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc83xx/start.S
240 - arch/mips/cpu/start.S
241
242and so on. From there, three functions are called; the purpose and
243limitations of each of these functions are described below.
Simon Glassdb910352015-03-03 08:03:00 -0700244
245lowlevel_init():
246 - purpose: essential init to permit execution to reach board_init_f()
247 - no global_data or BSS
248 - there is no stack (ARMv7 may have one but it will soon be removed)
249 - must not set up SDRAM or use console
250 - must only do the bare minimum to allow execution to continue to
251 board_init_f()
252 - this is almost never needed
253 - return normally from this function
254
255board_init_f():
256 - purpose: set up the machine ready for running board_init_r():
257 i.e. SDRAM and serial UART
258 - global_data is available
259 - stack is in SRAM
260 - BSS is not available, so you cannot use global/static variables,
261 only stack variables and global_data
262
263 Non-SPL-specific notes:
264 - dram_init() is called to set up DRAM. If already done in SPL this
265 can do nothing
266
267 SPL-specific notes:
268 - you can override the entire board_init_f() function with your own
269 version as needed.
270 - preloader_console_init() can be called here in extremis
271 - should set up SDRAM, and anything needed to make the UART work
272 - these is no need to clear BSS, it will be done by crt0.S
273 - must return normally from this function (don't call board_init_r()
274 directly)
275
276Here the BSS is cleared. For SPL, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined, then at
277this point the stack and global_data are relocated to below
278CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR. For non-SPL, U-Boot is relocated to run at the top of
279memory.
280
281board_init_r():
282 - purpose: main execution, common code
283 - global_data is available
284 - SDRAM is available
285 - BSS is available, all static/global variables can be used
286 - execution eventually continues to main_loop()
287
288 Non-SPL-specific notes:
289 - U-Boot is relocated to the top of memory and is now running from
290 there.
291
292 SPL-specific notes:
293 - stack is optionally in SDRAM, if CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R is defined and
294 CONFIG_SPL_STACK_R_ADDR points into SDRAM
295 - preloader_console_init() can be called here - typically this is
296 done by defining CONFIG_SPL_BOARD_INIT and then supplying a
297 spl_board_init() function containing this call
298 - loads U-Boot or (in falcon mode) Linux

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000302Configuration Options:
303----------------------
304
305Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
306such information is kept in a configuration file
307"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
308
309Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
310"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
311
312
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000313Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
314kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
315build a config tool - later.
316
317
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000318The following options need to be configured:
319

324- CPU Daughterboard Type: (if CONFIG_ATSTK1000 is defined)
Haavard Skinnemoen09ea0de2007-11-01 12:44:20 +0100325 Define exactly one, e.g. CONFIG_ATSTK1002
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000326
327- CPU Module Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
328 Define exactly one of
329 CONFIG_CMA286_60_OLD
330--- FIXME --- not tested yet:
331 CONFIG_CMA286_60, CONFIG_CMA286_21, CONFIG_CMA286_60P,
332 CONFIG_CMA287_23, CONFIG_CMA287_50
333
334- Motherboard Type: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)
335 Define exactly one of
336 CONFIG_CMA101, CONFIG_CMA102
337
338- Motherboard I/O Modules: (if CONFIG_COGENT is defined)

Kumar Gala4e253132006-01-11 13:54:17 -0600720 CONFIG_OF_BOARD_SETUP
721
722 Board code has addition modification that it wants to make
723 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000724
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -0600725 CONFIG_OF_SYSTEM_SETUP
726
727 Other code has addition modification that it wants to make
728 to the flat device tree before handing it off to the kernel.
729 This causes ft_system_setup() to be called before booting
730 the kernel.

736
Heiko Schocher3887c3f2009-09-23 07:56:08 +0200737 CONFIG_OF_IDE_FIXUP
738
739 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
740 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
741 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,
742 so the Linux IDE driver does not probe the device and
743 crash. This is needed for buggy hardware (uc101) where
744 no pull down resistor is connected to the signal IDE5V_DD7.
745
Igor Grinberg7eb29392011-07-14 05:45:07 +0000746 CONFIG_MACH_TYPE [relevant for ARM only][mandatory]
747
748 This setting is mandatory for all boards that have only one
749 machine type and must be used to specify the machine type
750 number as it appears in the ARM machine registry
751 (see http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/).
752 Only boards that have multiple machine types supported
753 in a single configuration file and the machine type is
754 runtime discoverable, do not have to use this setting.
755
Niklaus Giger0b2f4ec2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100756- vxWorks boot parameters:

758 bootvx constructs a valid bootline using the following
Bin Meng9e98b7e2015-10-07 20:19:17 -0700759 environments variables: bootdev, bootfile, ipaddr, netmask,
760 serverip, gatewayip, hostname, othbootargs.
Niklaus Giger0b2f4ec2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100761 It loads the vxWorks image pointed bootfile.
762
Niklaus Giger0b2f4ec2008-11-03 22:13:47 +0100763 Note: If a "bootargs" environment is defined, it will overwride
764 the defaults discussed just above.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000802- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000803 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
804 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
805 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
806 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000807
808 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
809 port routines must be defined elsewhere
810 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
811
812 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE

846 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
847
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000848 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is

wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000852 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
853 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
854 the "silent" environment variable. See
855 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenka3ad8e22003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000856
Heiko Schocher45ae2542013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200857 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default

Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100868- Console Rx buffer length
869 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
870 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100871 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100872 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
873 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
874 the SMC.
875
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000876- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200877 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
878 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
879 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
880 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
881 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
882 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
883 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200884 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200885 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000886
Hans de Goedea8552c72015-05-05 13:13:36 +0200887 Note that when printing the buffer a copy is made on the
888 stack so CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ must fit on the stack.
889
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200890 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
891 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000893- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
894 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
895 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000896 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
897 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000898
899 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
900 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
901 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
902 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
903 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
904 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
905 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000907 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
908 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
909
910- Autoboot Command:
911 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
912 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
913 define a command string that is automatically executed
914 when no character is read on the console interface
915 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
916
917 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000918 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
919 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
920 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000921
922 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000923 The value of these goes into the environment as
924 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
925 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200926 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000927
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100928- Bootcount:
929 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
930 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
931 cycle, see:
932 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
933
934 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
935 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
936 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
937 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
938 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
939 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
940 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
941 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
942 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
943
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000944- Pre-Boot Commands:
945 CONFIG_PREBOOT
946
947 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
948 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
949 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
950 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
951 entering interactive mode.
952
953 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
954 automatically generated or modified. For an example
955 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
956 modified when the user holds down a certain
957 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
958 booting the systems
959
960- Serial Download Echo Mode:
961 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
962 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
963 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
964 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
965 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
966 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
967 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
968
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500969- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000970 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
971 Select one of the baudrates listed in

974- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500975 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
976 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000977 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
Joe Hershbergeref0f2f52015-06-22 16:15:30 -0500978 commands, or adding #define's for wanted commands.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001099
1100 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001101 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001102 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1103 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1104 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1105 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1106 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1107 initial stack and some data.

1110 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1111
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001112- Regular expression support:
1113 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001114 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1115 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1116 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1117 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001118
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001119- Device tree:
1120 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1121 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1122 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1123 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1124 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1125 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1126
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001127 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1128 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001129
1130 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1131 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1132 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1133 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1134 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1135 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001136
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001137 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1138 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1139 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1140 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1141
1142 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1143
1144 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1145 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1146 still use the individual files if you need something more
1147 exotic.
1148
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001149- Watchdog:
1150 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1151 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001152 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1153 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1154 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1155 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1156 available, then no further board specific code should
1157 be needed to use it.
1158
1159 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1160 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1161 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1162 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001163
Heiko Schocher7bae0d62015-01-21 08:38:22 +01001164 CONFIG_AT91_HW_WDT_TIMEOUT
1165 specify the timeout in seconds. default 2 seconds.
1166
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001167- U-Boot Version:
1168 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1169 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1170 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1171 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001172 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1173 next reset.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001174
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001175- Real-Time Clock:
1176
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001177 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001178 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1179 following options:
1180
1181 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1182 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001183 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC

wdenk1cb8e982003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001185 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001186 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk7f70e852003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001187 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001192 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001193 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1194 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001195
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001196 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1197 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1198
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001199- GPIO Support:
1200 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001201
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001202 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1203 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1204 pins supported by a particular chip.
1205
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001206 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1207 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1208
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001209- I/O tracing:
1210 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1211 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1212 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1213 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1214 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1215 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1216 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1217 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1218
1219 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1220 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1221 still continue to operate.
1222
1223 iotrace is enabled
1224 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1225 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1226 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1227 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1228 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1229 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1230
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001231- Timestamp Support:
1232
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001233 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1234 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1235 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001236 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001237
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001238- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1239 Zero or more of the following:
1240 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1241 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1242 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1243 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1244 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1245 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1246 disk/part_efi.c
1247 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001248
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001249 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1250 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001251 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001252
1253- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001254 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1255 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001256
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001257 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1258 be performed by calling the function
1259 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1260 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001261
1262- ATAPI Support:
1263 CONFIG_ATAPI

1594
1595 CONFIG_CMD_DFU
1596 This enables the command "dfu" which is used to have
1597 U-Boot create a DFU class device via USB. This command
1598 requires that the "dfu_alt_info" environment variable be
1599 set and define the alt settings to expose to the host.
1600
1601 CONFIG_DFU_MMC
1602 This enables support for exposing (e)MMC devices via DFU.
1603
Pantelis Antoniouc6631762013-03-14 05:32:52 +00001604 CONFIG_DFU_NAND

1606
Afzal Mohammeda9479f02013-09-18 01:15:24 +05301607 CONFIG_DFU_RAM
1608 This enables support for exposing RAM via DFU.
1609 Note: DFU spec refer to non-volatile memory usage, but
1610 allow usages beyond the scope of spec - here RAM usage,
1611 one that would help mostly the developer.
1612
Heiko Schochere7e75c72013-06-12 06:05:51 +02001613 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_DATA_BUF_SIZE
1614 Dfu transfer uses a buffer before writing data to the
1615 raw storage device. Make the size (in bytes) of this buffer
1616 configurable. The size of this buffer is also configurable
1617 through the "dfu_bufsiz" environment variable.
1618
Pantelis Antoniouea2453d2013-03-14 05:32:48 +00001619 CONFIG_SYS_DFU_MAX_FILE_SIZE
1620 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1621 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1622 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1623 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1624 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1625
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001626 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1627 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1628 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1629 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1630
1631 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1632 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1633 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1634 sending again an USB request to the device.
1635
Sebastian Siewior3aab70a2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001636- USB Device Android Fastboot support:

1642 fastboot mode for the platform's USB device. Fastboot is a USB
1643 protocol for downloading images, flashing and device control
1644 used on Android devices.
1645 See doc/README.android-fastboot for more information.
1646
1647 CONFIG_ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
1648 This enables support for booting images which use the Android
1649 image format header.
1650
Paul Kocialkowskia588d992015-07-20 12:38:22 +02001651 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_ADDR
Sebastian Siewior3aab70a2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001652 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1653 downloads. Define this to the starting RAM address to use for
1654 downloaded images.
1655
Paul Kocialkowskia588d992015-07-20 12:38:22 +02001656 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_BUF_SIZE
Sebastian Siewior3aab70a2014-05-05 15:08:10 -05001657 The fastboot protocol requires a large memory buffer for
1658 downloads. This buffer should be as large as possible for a
1659 platform. Define this to the size available RAM for fastboot.
1660
Steve Raed1b5ed02014-08-26 11:47:28 -07001661 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH
1662 The fastboot protocol includes a "flash" command for writing
1663 the downloaded image to a non-volatile storage device. Define
1664 this to enable the "fastboot flash" command.
1665
1666 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_FLASH_MMC_DEV
1667 The fastboot "flash" command requires additional information
1668 regarding the non-volatile storage device. Define this to
1669 the eMMC device that fastboot should use to store the image.
1670
Steve Rae0ff7e582014-12-12 15:51:54 -08001671 CONFIG_FASTBOOT_GPT_NAME
1672 The fastboot "flash" command supports writing the downloaded
1673 image to the Protective MBR and the Primary GUID Partition
1674 Table. (Additionally, this downloaded image is post-processed
1675 to generate and write the Backup GUID Partition Table.)
1676 This occurs when the specified "partition name" on the
1677 "fastboot flash" command line matches this value.
1678 Default is GPT_ENTRY_NAME (currently "gpt") if undefined.
1679
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001680- Journaling Flash filesystem support:

wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001690 Define this to create an own partition. You have to provide a
1691 function struct part_info* jffs2_part_info(int part_num)
1692
1693 If you define only one JFFS2 partition you may also want to
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001694 #define CONFIG_SYS_JFFS_SINGLE_PART 1
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +00001695 to disable the command chpart. This is the default when you
1696 have not defined a custom partition

1722
1723 CONFIG_KEYBOARD
1724
1725 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1726 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1727 defined in your board-specific files. This option is deprecated
1728 and is only used by novena. For new boards, use driver model
1729 instead.

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001842 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1843
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001844 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (typically 4KB). If this is
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001845 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1846 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1847 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1848 a per-section basis.
1849
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001850 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1851
1852 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1853 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1854 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1855 is slow.
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001856
Hannes Petermaier604c7d42015-03-27 08:01:38 +01001857 CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION
1858
1859 Sometimes, for example if the display is mounted in portrait
1860 mode or even if it's mounted landscape but rotated by 180degree,
1861 we need to rotate our content of the display relative to the
1862 framebuffer, so that user can read the messages which are
1863 printed out.
1864 Once CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is defined, the lcd_console will be
1865 initialized with a given rotation from "vl_rot" out of
1866 "vidinfo_t" which is provided by the board specific code.
1867 The value for vl_rot is coded as following (matching to
1868 fbcon=rotate:<n> linux-kernel commandline):
1869 0 = no rotation respectively 0 degree
1870 1 = 90 degree rotation
1871 2 = 180 degree rotation
1872 3 = 270 degree rotation
1873
1874 If CONFIG_LCD_ROTATION is not defined, the console will be
1875 initialized with 0degree rotation.
1876

wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001887
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001888 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1889 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1890 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001891 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001892 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1893 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1894 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1895 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001896
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001897 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1898
1899 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1900 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001901 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001902 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1903 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1904 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1905 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1906 there is no need to set this option.
1907
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001908 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1909
1910 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1911 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1912 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1913 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1914 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1915 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1916
1917 Example:
1918 setenv splashpos m,m
1919 => image at center of screen
1920
1921 setenv splashpos 30,20
1922 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1923
1924 setenv splashpos -10,m
1925 => vertically centered image
1926 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1927
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001928- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1929
1930 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1931 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1932 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1933
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001934- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1935
1936 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1937 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08001940- Do compressing for memory range:
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001941 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1942
1943 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1944 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1945
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001946- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001947 CONFIG_GZIP
1948
1949 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1950
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001951 CONFIG_BZIP2
1952
1953 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1954 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1955 compressed images are supported.
1956
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001957 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001958 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001959 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001960
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001961 CONFIG_LZMA
1962
1963 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1964 images is included.
1965
1966 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1967 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1968 formula:
1969
1970 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1971
1972 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1973 and Literal pos bits.
1974
1975 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1976 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1977 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1978 a very small buffer.
1979
1980 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1981 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001982 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001983
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001984 CONFIG_LZO
1985
1986 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1987 is included.

1995
1996 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1997
1998 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1999
2000 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002001 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002002
2003 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
2004
2005 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2006 reset before any MII register access is possible.
2007 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
2008 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
2009
2010 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
2011
2012 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
2013 command issued before MII status register can be read
2014
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002015- IP address:

Robin Getz97cfe862009-07-21 12:15:28 -04002030 CONFIG_KEEP_SERVERADDR
2031
2032 Keeps the server's MAC address, in the env 'serveraddr'
2033 for passing to bootargs (like Linux's netconsole option)
2034
Wolfgang Denk1ebcd652011-10-26 10:21:22 +00002035- Gateway IP address:
2036 CONFIG_GATEWAYIP
2037
2038 Defines a default value for the IP address of the
2039 default router where packets to other networks are
2040 sent to.
2041 (Environment variable "gatewayip")
2042
2043- Subnet mask:
2044 CONFIG_NETMASK
2045
2046 Defines a default value for the subnet mask (or
2047 routing prefix) which is used to determine if an IP
2048 address belongs to the local subnet or needs to be
2049 forwarded through a router.
2050 (Environment variable "netmask")
2051
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002052- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2053 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2054
2055 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2056 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002057 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002058 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2059 multicast group.
2060
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002061- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2062 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2063
2064 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2065 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2066 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2067 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2068 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2069 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2070 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2071 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002072 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002073
2074 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2075 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2076 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2077 4th and following
2078 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2079
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002080 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2081
2082 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2083 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2084 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2085 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2086 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2087 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2088 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2089 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2090 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2091 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2092 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2093 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2094 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2095 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2096 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002115
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002116 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2117 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002118
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002119 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2120 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2121 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2122 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2123 is not available.
2124
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002125 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2126 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2127 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2128 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2129 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2130 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2131 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002132 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002133
2134 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2135 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2136 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002137 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002138 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2139 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002141 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2142
2143 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2144 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2145 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2146 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2147 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2148 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2149 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2150 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2151 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2152 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2153 this delay.
2154
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002155 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2156 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2157 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2158 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2159 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.
2160
2161 See doc/README.link-local for more information.

2174
2175 A printf format string which contains the ascii name of
2176 the port. Normally is set to "eth%d" which sets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002177 eth0 for the first Ethernet, eth1 for the second etc.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00002178
2179 CONFIG_CDP_CAPABILITIES

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002205- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2206
2207 Several configurations allow to display the current
2208 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2209 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2210 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2211 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2212 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2213 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2214 feature in U-Boot.
2215
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002216 Additional options:
2217
2218 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2219 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2220 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2221 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2222 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2223
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002224 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2225 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2226 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2227 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2228 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2229 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2230
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002231- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER
2232
2233 Defining CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER enables CAN driver support
2234 on those systems that support this (optional)
2235 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.
2236

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002428- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002429
2430 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2431 provides the following compelling advantages:
2432
2433 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2434 - approved multibus support
2435 - better i2c mux support
2436
2437 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2438
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002439 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2440 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2441 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002442
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002443 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002444 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002445 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2446 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002447 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002448
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002449 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002450
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002451 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002452 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002453
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002454 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002455 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002456 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002457 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002458
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002459 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002460 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002461 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2462 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2463 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002464
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002465 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2466
2467 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2468 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2469 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2470 commands until the slave device responds.
2471
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002472 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002473
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002474 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002475 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2476 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002477
2478 I2C_INIT
2479
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002480 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002481 controller or configure ports.

2486
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002487 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2488 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2489 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002490
2491 I2C_ACTIVE
2492
2493 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2494 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2495 define can be null.
2496
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002497 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)

2508
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002509 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2510 false if it is low.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002532 I2C_DELAY
2533
2534 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2535 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002536 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002537 like:
2538
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002539 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)

Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002541 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2542
2543 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2544 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2545 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2546 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2547
2548 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2549 the generic GPIO functions.

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002553 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2554 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2555 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2556 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2557 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2558 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2559 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2560 is run early in the boot sequence.

2565 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2566 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2567 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2568 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2569 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2570 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2571 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).

wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002573 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2574
2575 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2576 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2577 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2578
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002579 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2580
2581 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002582 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2583 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002584 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.

Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002587
2588 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002589 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002590 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2591 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002592
2593 e.g.

Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002595 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002596
2597 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2598
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002599 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS

2621 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2622 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2623 specified DTT device.
2624
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002625 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2626
2627 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2628 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2629 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2630 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2631 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2632 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2633 the other.

2649 using hardware support. This is a general purpose
2650 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2651 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2652 defined, the board configuration must define several
2653 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2654 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

2749
2750 Some SoCs need special image types (e.g. U-Boot binary
2751 with a special header) as build targets. By defining
2752 CONFIG_BUILD_TARGET in the SoC / board header, this
2753 special image will be automatically built upon calling
2754 make / MAKEALL.
2755
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002756 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING

2759 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002760
2761- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2762
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002763 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2764 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002765 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002766 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2767 protects these variables from casual modification by
2768 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2769 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002770 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002771
2772 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2773 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002774 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002775 these parameters.
2776
Joe Hershberger92ac5202015-05-04 14:55:14 -05002777 Alternatively, if you define _both_ an ethaddr in the
2778 default env _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002779 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002780 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2781 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2782 read-only.]
2783
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002784 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2785 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2786 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2787 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2788
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002789- Protected RAM:
2790 CONFIG_PRAM
2791
2792 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2793 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2794 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2795 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2796 this default value by defining an environment
2797 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2798 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2799 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2800 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2801 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2802 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2803 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2804
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002805 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002806 saveenv
2807
2808 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2809 either, which results in a memory region that will
2810 not be affected by reboots.
2811
2812 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2813 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2814 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2815 following board configurations are known to be
2816 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002822- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2823 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2824 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2825 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2826 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2827 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2828 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2829
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002830- Error Recovery:
2831 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2832
2833 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2834 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2835 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002836 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002837 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2838 useful during development since you can try to debug
2839 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2840
2841 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2842
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002843 This variable defines the number of retries for
2844 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2845 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2846 default value of 5 is used.

2851
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002852 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2853
2854 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002865
2866 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2867 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2868 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2869
2870 Note:
2871
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002872 In the current implementation, the local variables
2873 space and global environment variables space are
2874 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2875 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2876 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2877 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002897- Default Environment:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002898 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2899
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002900 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2901 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002902 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002903
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002904 For example, place something like this in your
2905 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002906
2907 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2908 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2909 "myvar2=value2\0"
2910
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002911 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2912 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2913 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2914 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002915 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002916 You better know what you are doing here.
2917
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002918 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2919 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002920 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002921 boot command first.

Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002923 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2924
2925 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2926 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2927 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2928
2929 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2930
2931 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2932 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2933 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2934 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2935 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC
2936
Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002937 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2938
2939 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2940 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2941 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2942
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002943 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2944
2945 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08002946 initialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002947 that so that the environment is not available until
2948 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2949 this is instead controlled by the value of
2950 /config/load-environment.
2951
Chris Packham3b10cf12015-06-19 20:25:59 +12002952- Parallel Flash support:
2953 CONFIG_SYS_NO_FLASH
2954
2955 Traditionally U-boot was run on systems with parallel NOR
2956 flash. This option is used to disable support for parallel NOR
2957 flash. This option should be defined if the board does not have
2958 parallel flash.
2959
2960 If this option is not defined one of the generic flash drivers
2961 (e.g. CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_DRIVER or CONFIG_ST_SMI) must be
2962 selected or the board must provide an implementation of the
2963 flash API (see include/flash.h).
2964
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00002965- DataFlash Support:
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002966 CONFIG_HAS_DATAFLASH
2967
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002968 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2969 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2970 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002971
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002972- Serial Flash support
2973 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2974
2975 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2976 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2977
2978 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2979 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2980 commands.
2981
2982 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2983 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2984 flash is present on the system.
2985
2986 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier
2987 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_CS Chip-select
2988 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_MODE (see include/spi.h)
2989 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_SPEED in Hz
2990
Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002991 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2992
2993 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2994 test ('sf test').
2995
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302996 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2997
2998 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2999 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003000 Currently Xilinx Zynq qspi supports these type of connections.
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05303001
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003002- SystemACE Support:
3003 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
3004
3005 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
3006 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003007 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003008 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003009
3010 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003011 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00003012
3013 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
3014 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
3015
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003016- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
3017 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
3018
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003019 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003020 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003021 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003022 number generator is used.
3023
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003024 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3025 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3026 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3027
3028 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003029 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3030 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3031 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3032 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3033 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3034 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3035
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003036- Hashing support:
3037 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3038
3039 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3040 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3041
3042 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3043
3044 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3045 size a little.
3046
gaurav rana94e3c8c2015-02-20 12:51:46 +05303047 CONFIG_SHA1 - This option enables support of hashing using SHA1
3048 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3049 CONFIG_SHA256 - This option enables support of hashing using
3050 SHA256 algorithm. The hash is calculated in software.
3051 CONFIG_SHA_HW_ACCEL - This option enables hardware acceleration
3052 for SHA1/SHA256 hashing.
3053 This affects the 'hash' command and also the
3054 hash_lookup_algo() function.
3055 CONFIG_SHA_PROG_HW_ACCEL - This option enables
3056 hardware-acceleration for SHA1/SHA256 progressive hashing.
3057 Data can be streamed in a block at a time and the hashing
3058 is performed in hardware.
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003059
3060 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3061 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3062
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003063- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3064 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3065 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3066 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3067
3068 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3069 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3070 a boot from specific media.
3071
3072 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3073 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3074 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3075 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3076 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3077
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003078- Signing support:
3079 CONFIG_RSA
3080
3081 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003082 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003083
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303084 The Modular Exponentiation algorithm in RSA is implemented using
3085 driver model. So CONFIG_DM needs to be enabled by default for this
3086 library to function.
3087
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003088 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
Ruchika Guptac937ff62015-01-23 16:01:54 +05303089 option. The software based modular exponentiation is built into
3090 mkimage irrespective of this option.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003091
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003092- bootcount support:
3093 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3094
3095 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3096 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3097
3098 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3099 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3100 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3101 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3102 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3103 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3104 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3105 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3106 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3107 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3108 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3109 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3110 the bootcounter.
3111 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

3115
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003116 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3117 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3118 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3119 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3120 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,

3320
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003321 This option defines a board specific value for the
3322 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3323 overwriting the architecture dependent default

3331 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3332 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3333 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3334 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3335 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3336 configured panel size.

3366
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003367 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3368
3369 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3370 warnings and errors enabled.
3371
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003372
3373 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3374 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3375 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3376 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3377 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3378 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3379
3380 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3381 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3382 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3383 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3384 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3385
3386 default: 4096
Simon Glassc654b512014-10-23 18:58:54 -06003387
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003388 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3389 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3390 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3391 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3392 flash), this value is ignored.
3393
3394 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3395 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3396 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3397 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3398 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3399 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3400
3401 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3402 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3403 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3404 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3405 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3406 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3407 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3408 partition.
3409
3410 default: 20
3411
3412 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3413 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3414 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3415 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3416 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3417 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3418 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3419 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3420 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3421 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3422 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3423 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3424
3425 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3426 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3427 without a fastmap.
3428 default: 0
3429
Heiko Schocher0195a7b2015-10-22 06:19:21 +02003430 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FM_DEBUG
3431 Enable UBI fastmap debug

3436
3437 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3438 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3439
3440 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO

3488 When defined, SPL will panic() if the image it has
3489 loaded does not have a signature.
3490 Defining this is useful when code which loads images
3491 in SPL cannot guarantee that absolutely all read errors
3492 will be caught.

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003721- Interrupt support (PPC):
3722
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003723 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3724 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003725 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003726 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003727 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003728 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003729 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003730 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3731 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3732 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003734- General:
3735
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003736 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3737 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3738 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003739 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003740 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3741 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3742 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003743
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003744 If there are no modem init strings in the
3745 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3746 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003747 suppressed, though.

3752------------------------------
3753
3754During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3755to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3756before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3757following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3758architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3759typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

3822 is substracted from total RAM and won't be reported to OS.
3823 This memory can be used as secure memory. A variable
3824 gd->secure_ram is used to track the location. In systems
3825 the RAM base is not zero, or RAM is divided into banks,
3826 this variable needs to be recalcuated to get the address.

York Sunaabd7dd2015-12-07 11:05:29 -08003828- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE:
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003829 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003830 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003831 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003832 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3833 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3834 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003835 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003836 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003837 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003838
3839 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3840 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3841 be touched.
3842
3843 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3844 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3845 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3846 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3847 problems.

3876
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003877- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3878 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3879 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3880 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3881 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3882 space.
3883
3884 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3885 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3886 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08003887 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotten) when
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003888 U-Boot relocates itself.
3889
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003890 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003891 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3892
Simon Glass38687ae2014-11-10 17:16:54 -07003893- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_SIMPLE
3894 Provides a simple and small malloc() and calloc() for those
3895 boards which do not use the full malloc in SPL (which is
3896 enabled with CONFIG_SYS_SPL_MALLOC_START).
3897
Thierry Reding1dfdd9b2014-12-09 22:25:22 -07003898- CONFIG_SYS_NONCACHED_MEMORY:
3899 Size of non-cached memory area. This area of memory will be
3900 typically located right below the malloc() area and mapped
3901 uncached in the MMU. This is useful for drivers that would
3902 otherwise require a lot of explicit cache maintenance. For
3903 some drivers it's also impossible to properly maintain the
3904 cache. For example if the regions that need to be flushed
3905 are not a multiple of the cache-line size, *and* padding
3906 cannot be allocated between the regions to align them (i.e.
3907 if the HW requires a contiguous array of regions, and the
3908 size of each region is not cache-aligned), then a flush of
3909 one region may result in overwriting data that hardware has
3910 written to another region in the same cache-line. This can
3911 happen for example in network drivers where descriptors for
3912 buffers are typically smaller than the CPU cache-line (e.g.
3913 16 bytes vs. 32 or 64 bytes).
3914
3915 Non-cached memory is only supported on 32-bit ARM at present.
3916
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003917- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003918 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3919 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003920 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003921 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3922
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003923- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003924 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3925 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003926 the Linux kernel (bd_info, boot arguments, FDT blob if
3927 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003928 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003929 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003930 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003931 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3932 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3933 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.

3968 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3969
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003970- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003971
3972 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3973 without this option such a download has to be
3974 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3975 copy from RAM to flash.
3976
3977 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3978 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003979 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3980 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003981 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3982

Piotr Ziecik91809ed2008-11-17 15:57:58 +01003991- CONFIG_FLASH_CFI_MTD
3992 This option enables the building of the cfi_mtd driver
3993 in the drivers directory. The driver exports CFI flash
3994 to the MTD layer.
3995

4005 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
4006 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
4007 optionally available.
4008
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05004009- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS

4013
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02004014- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
4015 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
4016 against the source after the write operation. An error message
4017 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
4018 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
4019 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
4020 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
4021 this option if you really know what you are doing.
4022
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004023- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004024 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
4025 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004026 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
4027 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004028 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00004029 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

4072 Define this to a list (string) to define validation that
4073 should be done if an entry is not found in the ".flags"
4074 environment variable. To override a setting in the static
4075 list, simply add an entry for the same variable name to the
4076 ".flags" variable.
4077
Joe Hershbergerbdf1fe42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05004078 If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a

4087 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4088 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4089 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4090 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4091 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
Masahiro Yamada0a12e682015-03-19 19:42:51 +09004092 must support it (i.e. must select HAVE_GENERIC_BOARD in arch/Kconfig).

4107of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4108following configurations:
4109
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004110- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4111
4112 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4113 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4114
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004115- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004116
4117 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4118
4119 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4120 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4121 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4122 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4123 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4124 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4125 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4126 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4127 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4128 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4129 between U-Boot and the environment.
4130
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004131 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004132
4133 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4134 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4135 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4136 for this sector is given here.
4137
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004138 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004139
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004140 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004141
4142 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4143 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004144 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004145
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004146 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004147
4148 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4149
4150
4151 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4152 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4153 the environment.
4154
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004155 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004156
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004157 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004158 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004159 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4160 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4161
4162 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4163 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4164 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4165 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4166 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4167 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4168 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4169 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4170 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4171
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004172 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4173 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004174
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004175 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004176 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004177 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004178 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004179
4180BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4181source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4182accordingly!
4183
4184
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004185- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004186
4187 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4188 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4189 environment.
4190
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004191 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4192 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004193
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004194 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004195 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4196 can just be read and written to, without any special
4197 provision.
4198
4199BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004200in U-Boot initialization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004201console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004202U-Boot will hang.
4203
4204Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4205environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4206keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4207to save the current settings.
4208
4209
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004210- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004211
4212 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4213 device and a driver for it.
4214
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004215 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4216 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004217
4218 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4219 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4220
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004221 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004222 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4223 The default address is zero.
4224
Christian Gmeiner189d2572015-02-11 15:19:31 +01004225 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_BUS:
4226 If defined, specified the i2c bus of the EEPROM device.
4227
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004228 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004229 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4230 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4231 would require six bits.
4232
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004233 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004234 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004235 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004236
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004237 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004238 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4239 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4240
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004241 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004242 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4243 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4244 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4245 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4246 byte chips.
4247
4248 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4249 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4250 in the chip address.
4251
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004252 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004253 The size in bytes of the EEPROM device.
4254
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004255 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4256 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4257 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4258
4259 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4260 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4261 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4262 EEPROM. For example:
4263
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01004264 #define CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS 1
Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004265
4266 EEPROM which holds the environment, is reached over
4267 a pca9547 i2c mux with address 0x70, channel 3.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004268
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD057c8492008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004269- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_DATAFLASH:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004270
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00004271 Define this if you have a DataFlash memory device which you
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004272 want to use for the environment.
4273
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004274 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4275 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4276 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004277
4278 These three #defines specify the offset and size of the
4279 environment area within the total memory of your DataFlash placed
4280 at the specified address.
4281
Wu, Joshbd83b592014-07-01 19:30:13 +08004282- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_SPI_FLASH:
4283
4284 Define this if you have a SPI Flash memory device which you
4285 want to use for the environment.
4286
4287 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4288 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4289
4290 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4291 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4292 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4293
4294 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
4295
4296 Define the SPI flash's sector size.
4297
4298 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4299
4300 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4301 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4302 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4303 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
4304 aligned to an erase sector boundary.
4305
4306 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_BUS (optional):
4307 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_CS (optional):
4308
4309 Define the SPI bus and chip select. If not defined they will be 0.
4310
4311 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MAX_HZ (optional):
4312
4313 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4314
4315 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4316
4317 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.
4318
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004319- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_REMOTE:
4320
4321 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4322 want to use for the local device's environment.
4323
4324 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4325 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4326
4327 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4328 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4329 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004330 space by SRIO or PCIE links.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004331
4332BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4333"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004334environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4335but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.
Liu Gang0a85a9e2012-03-08 00:33:20 +00004336
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD51bfee12008-09-10 22:47:58 +02004337- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NAND:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004338
4339 Define this if you have a NAND device which you want to use
4340 for the environment.
4341
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004342 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4343 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004344
4345 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004346 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4347 aligned to an erase block boundary.
wdenk5779d8d2003-12-06 23:55:10 +00004348
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004349 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004350
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004351 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004352 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4353 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004354 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004355 aligned to an erase block boundary.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004356
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004357 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4358
4359 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4360 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4361 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4362 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4363 the range to be avoided.
4364
4365 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4366
4367 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4368 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4369 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4370 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4371 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.
Markus Klotzbuechere443c942006-03-20 18:02:44 +01004372
Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004373- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4374
4375 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4376 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4377 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4378
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004379- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4380
4381 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4382 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4383 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4384
4385 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4386
4387 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4388
4389 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4390
4391 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4392 environment in.
4393
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004394 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4395
4396 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4397 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4398 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4399
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004400 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4401 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4402
4403 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4404 when storing the env in UBI.
4405
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004406- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4407 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4408
4409 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4410
4411 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4412
4413 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4414
4415 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4416 be as following:
4417
4418 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4419 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4420 partition table.
4421 - "D:0": device D.
4422 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4423 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4424 table.
4425 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004426 If none, first valid partition in device D. If no
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004427 partition table then means device D.
4428
4429 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4430
4431 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004432 environment.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004433
4434 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08004435 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the environment file.
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004436
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004437- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4438
4439 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4440 environment.
4441
4442 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4443
4444 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4445
4446 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4447
4448 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4449 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4450 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4451
4452 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4453 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4454
4455 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4456 area within the specified MMC device.
4457
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004458 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4459 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4460 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4461 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4462 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4463 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4464 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4465
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004466 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4467 MMC sector boundary.
4468
4469 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4470
4471 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4472 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4473 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4474 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4475
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004476 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4477 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4478
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004479 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4480 an MMC sector boundary.
4481
4482 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4483
4484 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4485 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4486 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4487
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004488- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004489
4490 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4491 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4492 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4493 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4494 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4495 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4496 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4497
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004498Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004499has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004500created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004501until then to read environment variables.
4502
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004503The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4504is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4505with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4506necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4507"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4508have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004509
4510Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4511the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004512use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004518 also needs to be defined.
4519
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004520- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004523- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4524 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4525 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4526 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4527 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4528 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4529
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004530- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4531 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4532 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4533 to do this.
4534
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004535- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4536 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4537 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4538 present.
4539
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004540- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004551- CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004552 Default address of the IMMR after system reset.
wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004553
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004554 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4555 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4556 the IMMR register after a reset.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004557
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004558- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4559 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4560 PowerPC SOCs.
4561
4562- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4563 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4564 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4565
4566 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4567 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4568
4569- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4570 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4571 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004572 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004573 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4574 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4575 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4576
4577 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4578 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4579
4580- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004581 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4582 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004583 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4584 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4585
4586- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4587 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4588 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4589 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4590
4591- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4592 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4593 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004813- CONFIG_ETHER_ON_FEC[12]
4814 Define to enable FEC[12] on a 8xx series processor.
4815
4816- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY
4817 Define to the hardcoded PHY address which corresponds
wdenk6e592382004-04-18 17:39:38 +00004818 to the given FEC; i. e.
4819 #define CONFIG_FEC1_PHY 4
wdenkc26e4542004-04-18 10:13:26 +00004820 means that the PHY with address 4 is connected to FEC1
4821
4822 When set to -1, means to probe for first available.
4823
4824- CONFIG_FEC[12]_PHY_NORXERR
4825 The PHY does not have a RXERR line (RMII only).
4826 (so program the FEC to ignore it).
4827
4828- CONFIG_RMII

Macpaul Linafc1ce82011-10-19 20:41:11 +00004862 [ARM, NDS32, MIPS only] If this variable is defined, then certain
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004863 low level initializations (like setting up the memory
4864 controller) are omitted and/or U-Boot does not
4865 relocate itself into RAM.
wdenk8aa1a2d2005-04-04 12:44:11 +00004866
Wolfgang Denk844f07d2010-11-27 23:30:56 +01004867 Normally this variable MUST NOT be defined. The only
4868 exception is when U-Boot is loaded (to RAM) by some
4869 other boot loader or by a debugger which performs
4870 these initializations itself.

4885 previous 4k of the .text section.
4886
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004887- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4888 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4889 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4890 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4891 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4892 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4893 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4894 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4895
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004896- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4897 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4898 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4899 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4900 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4901
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004902- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4903 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4904 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4981 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4982 is also specified.
4983
4984- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4985 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4986 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4987 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4988 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4989

5011-------------------
5012
5013In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
5014process have to be set to a fixed value.
5015
5016This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
5017SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
5018option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
5019
5020SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005025Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
5026and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
5027all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
5028(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
5029recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
5030which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005031
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005032If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
5033have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
5034you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
5035Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
5036necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005037
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005038 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
5039 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005040
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05005041Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
5042 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
5043 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
5044 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
5045
5046 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
5047
5048 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
5049 be executed on computers running Windows.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005051U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
5052sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005053is done by typing:
5054
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005055 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005056
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005057where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005058rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00005059
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005060Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
5061 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
5062 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
5063 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005064 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005065
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005066 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005067 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005068
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005069 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005070 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005071
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005072 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005073
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005074
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005075Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
5076images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005077
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005078- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
5079- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
5080- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005081
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005082By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
5083in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
5084this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
5085
50861. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
5087
5088 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005089 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005090 make O=/tmp/build all
5091
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +020050922. Set environment variable KBUILD_OUTPUT to point to the desired location:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005093
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005094 export KBUILD_OUTPUT=/tmp/build
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005095 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005096 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005097 make all
5098
Timo Ketolaadbba992014-11-06 14:39:05 +02005099Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the KBUILD_OUTPUT environment
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005100variable.
5101
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005102
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005103Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5104for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5105native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005106

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005108If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5109to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5110steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005111
Phil Sutter3c1496c2015-12-25 14:41:18 +010051121. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005113 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
Phil Sutter3c1496c2015-12-25 14:41:18 +01005114 the "Makefile" and a "<board>.c".
51152. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5116 your board.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051173. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5118 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020051194. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000051205. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5121 to be installed on your target system.
51226. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5123 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005126Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5127==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005128
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005129If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5130or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005131provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5132the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005133official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005134
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005135But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5136cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005137the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5138just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005139for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5140select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5141environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5142you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005143
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005144 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005145
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005146or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005147
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005148 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005149
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005150When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5151U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5152setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5153built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5154<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5155location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5156variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005157
5158 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5159 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5160 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5161
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005162With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5163log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5164during the whole build process.

5228======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005229
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005230U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5231can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005232
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005233Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5234"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5235without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5236environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5237working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5238environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

5255 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5256 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5257 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5258 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5259 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005260 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5261 bootm_mapsize.
5262
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005263 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005264 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5265 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5266 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5267 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5268 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5269 used otherwise.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005291 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5292 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5293 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5294 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5295 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005296
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005297 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5298 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005299 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5300 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5301 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5302 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5303 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5304 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5305 access it during the boot procedure.
5306
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005307 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5308 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5309 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5310 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5311 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5312 must be accessible by the kernel.
5313
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005314 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5315 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5316 defined.
5317
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005318 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5319 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5320 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5321 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5322 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5323
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005324 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5325 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5326 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5327 is usually what you want since it allows for
5328 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5329 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005330 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005331 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5332 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5333 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5334 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005335
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005336 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5337 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5338 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5339 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5340 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5341 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005342
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005343 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005344
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005345 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5346 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5347 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5348 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5349 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5350 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5351 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005352
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005353 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005370 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5371 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005372
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005373 => setenv ethact FEC

Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005378 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5379 available network interfaces.
5380 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5381
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005382 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005383 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5384 When set to "once" the network operation will
5385 fail when all the available network interfaces
5386 are tried once without success.
5387 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5388 themselves.

Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005392 silent_linux - If set then Linux will be told to boot silently, by
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005393 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5394 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5395 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5396 is silent.
5397
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)f5fb7342015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005398 tftpsrcp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005399 UDP source port.
5400
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)f5fb7342015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005401 tftpdstp - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005402 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5403
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005404 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5405 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5406
5407 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5408 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5409 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5410 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5411 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5412 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5413 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5414
Albert ARIBAUD \(3ADEV\)f5fb7342015-10-12 00:02:57 +02005415 tftptimeoutcountmax - maximum count of TFTP timeouts (no
5416 unit, minimum value = 0). Defines how many timeouts
5417 can happen during a single file transfer before that
5418 transfer is aborted. The default is 10, and 0 means
5419 'no timeouts allowed'. Increasing this value may help
5420 downloads succeed with high packet loss rates, or with
5421 unreliable TFTP servers or client hardware.
5422
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005423 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over

Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005427The following image location variables contain the location of images
5428used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5429not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5430variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5431server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5432loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5433flash or offset in NAND flash.
5434
5435*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
Fabio Estevamaed9fed2015-04-25 18:53:10 -03005436boards currently use other variables for these purposes, and some
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005437boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005446The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5447updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5448depending the information provided by your boot server:

5453 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5454 hostname - Target hostname
5455 ipaddr - see above
5456 netmask - Subnet Mask

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005461There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005462
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005463 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5464 as type string and/or serial number
5465 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005466
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005467These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5468the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5469once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005470
5471
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005472Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005473
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005474 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5475 with the "version" command. This variable is
5476 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005483Callback functions for environment variables:
5484---------------------------------------------
5485
5486For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005487when their values are changed. This functionality allows functions to
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005488be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5489deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5490effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5491
5492The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5493U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5494
5495These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5496static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5497in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5498associations. The list must be in the following format:
5499
5500 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5501 list = entry[,list]
5502
5503If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5504Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5505
5506Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5507with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5508override any association in the static list. You can define
5509CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08005510".callbacks" environment variable in the default or embedded environment.
Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005511
Joe Hershbergerbdf1fe42015-05-20 14:27:20 -05005512If CONFIG_REGEX is defined, the variable_name above is evaluated as a
5513regular expression. This allows multiple variables to be connected to
5514the same callback without explicitly listing them all out.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005520There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5521the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005522
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005523Old, simple command line parser:
5524--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005525
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005526- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5527- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005528- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005529- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5530 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005531 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005532- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5533 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005534

5536-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005537
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005538- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5539 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5540 until...do...done, ...
5541- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5542 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5543 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5544 command

wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005548
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005549(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5550 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5551 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5552 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005553
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005554(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005555 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005556 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5557 variables are not executed.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005558
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005559Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5560=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005561
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005562Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005563such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5564"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005565
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005566Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5567MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005570If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5571in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5572ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5573variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005575o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5576 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005577
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005578o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005599Image Formats:
5600==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005601
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005602U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5603images in two formats:
5604
5605New uImage format (FIT)
5606-----------------------
5607
5608Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5609to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5610components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5611SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5612
5613
5614Old uImage format
5615-----------------
5616
5617Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5618preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5619details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005639
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005640Linux Support:
5641==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005642
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005643Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5644easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5645U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005646
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005647U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5648special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5649"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5650instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5651serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005652
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005653- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5654 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5655 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005656
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005657- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5658 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005659
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005660- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5661 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5662 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5663 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5664 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5665 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005666
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005667
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005668Linux HOWTO:
5669============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005670
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005671Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5672---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005673
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005674U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5675configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5676(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5677Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005678
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005679But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005680
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005681Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5682include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005683Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5684and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005685as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005686
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005687Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5688If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5689is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5690doc/driver-model.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005693Configuring the Linux kernel:
5694-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005695
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005696No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5697device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005698
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005699
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005700Building a Linux Image:
5701-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005702
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005703With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5704not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5705"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5706U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5707which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5708100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005709
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005710Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005711
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005712 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005713 make oldconfig
5714 make dep
5715 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005716
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005717The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5718encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5719CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005720
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005721* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005722
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005723* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005724
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005725 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5726 -R .note -R .comment \
5727 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005728
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005729* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005730
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005731 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005732
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005733* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005734
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005735 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5736 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5737 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005738
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005739
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005740The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5741with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5742combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5743byte header containing information about target architecture,
5744operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5745stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005746
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005747"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5748print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005749
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005750In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5751contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5752checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005753
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005754 tools/mkimage -l image
5755 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005756
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005757The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5758from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005759
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005760 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5761 -n name -d data_file image
5762 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5763 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5764 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5765 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'
5766 -a ==> set load address to 'addr' (hex)
5767 -e ==> set entry point to 'ep' (hex)
5768 -n ==> set image name to 'name'
5769 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005770
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005771Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5772address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5773kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005774
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005775- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5776- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005777
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005778So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005779

Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraa804b5c2013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005832The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5833option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5834option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5835from the image:
5836
Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraf41f5b72015-01-15 02:54:40 -02005837 tools/dumpimage -i image -T type -p position data_file
5838 -i ==> extract from the 'image' a specific 'data_file'
5839 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5840 -p ==> 'position' (starting at 0) of the 'data_file' inside the 'image'

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005843Installing a Linux Image:
5844-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005845
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005846To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5847you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005848
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005849 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005850
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005851The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5852image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5853address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5854specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5855command.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006023More About U-Boot Image Types:
6024------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006025
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006026U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00006027
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006028 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
6029 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
6030 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
6031 the Standalone Program.
6032 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
6033 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
6034 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
6035 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
6036 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
6037 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
6038 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
6039 being started.
6040 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
6041 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
6042 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
6043 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
6044 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
6045 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006046
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006047 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
6048 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network
6049 byte order. This list is terminated by an "(uint32_t)0".
6050 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
6051 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
6052 a multiple of 4 bytes).
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006053
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006054 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
6055 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
6056 flash memory.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00006057
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006058 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
6059 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
6060 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
6061 as command interpreter.

Marek Vasut44f074c2012-03-14 21:52:45 +00006063Booting the Linux zImage:
6064-------------------------
6065
6066On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
6067using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
6068as the syntax of "bootm" command.
6069
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04006070Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00006071kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
6072address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
6073format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006079One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
6080run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
6081U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006117Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6118handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6119Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6120The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6121character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6122controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006124 ? - print current values og the CPM Timer registers
6125 b - enable interrupts and start timer

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006188Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6189(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006190
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006191Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6192NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6193need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6194Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6195attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6196missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006197
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006198 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include

6202 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006203
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006204Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6205and U-Boot include files.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006206
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006207Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6208stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6209proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6210tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6215=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006216
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006217The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6218implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6219inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6220hardware.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006223Initial Stack, Global Data:
6224---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006225
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006226The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6227starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6228system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6229This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6230is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6231at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6232options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6233models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6234MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6235locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006236
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006237 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006245 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6246 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6247 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6248 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6249 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006250 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006251 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6252 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006254 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6255 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006256 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006257 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6258 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6259 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6260 used.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006262 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006263 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6264 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006265 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006266 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6267 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6268 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6269 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6270 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006275It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6276code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006277
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006278* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6279 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006280
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006281* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitly initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006282 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6283 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006284
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006285* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6286 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006287
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006288Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006289normal global data to share information between the code. But it
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006290turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6291simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6292functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6293functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6294the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6295place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6296reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006297
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006298When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6299relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6300GCC's implementation.

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006311 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6312 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6313 going back and forth between asm and C)

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006317 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6318 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6319 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6320 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6321 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6322 624 text + 127 data).

6371------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006372
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006373U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6374MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006375
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006376The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6377controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6378memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6379physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006380
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006381U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6382TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6383booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6384to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006385memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006386configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6387Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006388
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006389Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6390of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006391
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006392So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6393this:

6414
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006415System Initialization:
6416----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006417
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006418In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006419(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
Jeremiah Mahlerb445bbb2015-01-04 18:56:50 -08006420configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the on board Flash memory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006421To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6422To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6423initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6424which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6425part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6426the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006427
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006428Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6429preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6430(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6431on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6432programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6433simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6434banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006435
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006436When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6437different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6438bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
64390x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6440contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006441
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006442Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6443and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6444Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6445pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006446
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006447Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6448until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6449running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6450new address in RAM.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006530All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006531coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006532"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.

Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006534Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6535MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not

Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006537sources.
6538
6539Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6540Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6541in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006542
6543Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6544- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006545- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006546- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006547- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006548- do not add trailing empty lines to source files

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006557Since the number of patches for U-Boot is growing, we need to
6558establish some rules. Submissions which do not conform to these rules
6559may be rejected, even when they contain important and valuable stuff.

6565
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006566When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6567it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006568
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006569* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6570 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6571 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006572
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006573* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6574 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006575
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006576* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6577
Robert P. J. Day7207b362015-12-19 07:16:10 -05006578* For major contributions, add a MAINTAINERS file with your
6579 information and associated file and directory references.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006580
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006581* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6582 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006583
6584* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6585 document these in the README file.
6586
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006587* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6588 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006589 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006590 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6591 with some other mail clients.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006592
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006593 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6594 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6595 GNU diff.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006596
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006597 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6598 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6599 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6600 affected files).
6601
6602 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6603 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006604
6605* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6606 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6607
6608* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6609 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.
6610
6611
6612Notes:
6613
6614* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6615 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6616 for any of the boards.
6617
6618* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6619 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6620 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6621
6622* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6623 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6624 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6625 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6626 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6627 modification.
wdenk90dc6702005-05-03 14:12:25 +00006628
Wolfgang Denk06682362008-12-30 22:56:11 +01006629* Remember that there is a size limit of 100 kB per message on the
6630 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6631 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6632 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
