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.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000227Software Configuration:
228=======================
229
230Configuration is usually done using C preprocessor defines; the
231rationale behind that is to avoid dead code whenever possible.
232
233There are two classes of configuration variables:
234
235* Configuration _OPTIONS_:
236 These are selectable by the user and have names beginning with
237 "CONFIG_".
238
239* Configuration _SETTINGS_:
240 These depend on the hardware etc. and should not be meddled with if
241 you don't know what you're doing; they have names beginning with
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200242 "CONFIG_SYS_".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000243
244Later we will add a configuration tool - probably similar to or even
245identical to what's used for the Linux kernel. Right now, we have to
246do the configuration by hand, which means creating some symbolic
247links and editing some configuration files. We use the TQM8xxL boards
248as an example here.
249
250
251Selection of Processor Architecture and Board Type:
252---------------------------------------------------
253
254For all supported boards there are ready-to-use default
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200255configurations available; just type "make <board_name>_defconfig".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000256
257Example: For a TQM823L module type:
258
259 cd u-boot
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200260 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000261
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200262For the Cogent platform, you need to specify the CPU type as well;
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +0200263e.g. "make cogent_mpc8xx_defconfig". And also configure the cogent
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000264directory according to the instructions in cogent/README.
265
266
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600267Sandbox Environment:
268--------------------
269
270U-Boot can be built natively to run on a Linux host using the 'sandbox'
271board. This allows feature development which is not board- or architecture-
272specific to be undertaken on a native platform. The sandbox is also used to
273run some of U-Boot's tests.
274
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki6b1978f2014-08-31 21:19:43 +0530275See board/sandbox/README.sandbox for more details.
Simon Glass75b3c3a2014-03-22 17:12:59 -0600276
277
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000278Configuration Options:
279----------------------
280
281Configuration depends on the combination of board and CPU type; all
282such information is kept in a configuration file
283"include/configs/<board_name>.h".
284
285Example: For a TQM823L module, all configuration settings are in
286"include/configs/TQM823L.h".
287
288
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +0000289Many of the options are named exactly as the corresponding Linux
290kernel configuration options. The intention is to make it easier to
291build a config tool - later.
292
293
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000294The following options need to be configured:
295

623
624 U-Boot stores all clock information in Hz
625 internally. For binary compatibility with older Linux
626 kernels (which expect the clocks passed in the
627 bd_info data to be in MHz) the environment variable
628 "clocks_in_mhz" can be defined so that U-Boot
629 converts clock data to MHZ before passing it to the
630 Linux kernel.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000631 When CONFIG_CLOCKS_IN_MHZ is defined, a definition of

674 U-Boot can detect if an IDE device is present or not.
675 If not, and this new config option is activated, U-Boot
676 removes the ATA node from the DTS before booting Linux,

739
John Rigby910f1ae2011-04-19 10:42:39 +0000740 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_RLCR
741
742 Some vendor versions of PL011 serial ports (e.g. ST-Ericsson U8500)
743 have separate receive and transmit line control registers. Set
744 this variable to initialize the extra register.
745
746 CONFIG_PL011_SERIAL_FLUSH_ON_INIT
747
748 On some platforms (e.g. U8500) U-Boot is loaded by a second stage
749 boot loader that has already initialized the UART. Define this
750 variable to flush the UART at init time.

755 Current user of this option is drivers/serial/nsl16550.c driver
wdenk6705d812004-08-02 23:22:59 +0000756
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000757- Console Interface:
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000758 Depending on board, define exactly one serial port
759 (like CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC1, CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SMC2,
760 CONFIG_8xx_CONS_SCC1, ...), or switch off the serial
761 console by defining CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000762
763 Note: if CONFIG_8xx_CONS_NONE is defined, the serial
764 port routines must be defined elsewhere
765 (i.e. serial_init(), serial_getc(), ...)
766
767 CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE
768 Enables console device for a color framebuffer. Needs following

Pali Rohár33a35bb2012-10-19 13:30:09 +0000806 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE_ANSI is defined, console will support
807 a limited number of ANSI escape sequences (cursor control,
808 erase functions and limited graphics rendition control).
809
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000810 When CONFIG_CFB_CONSOLE is defined, video console is
811 default i/o. Serial console can be forced with
812 environment 'console=serial'.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000813
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +0000814 When CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE is defined, all console
815 messages (by U-Boot and Linux!) can be silenced with
816 the "silent" environment variable. See
817 doc/README.silent for more information.
wdenka3ad8e22003-10-19 23:22:11 +0000818
Heiko Schocher45ae2542013-10-22 11:06:06 +0200819 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_BG_COL: define the backgroundcolor, default
820 is 0x00.
821 CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_FG_COL: define the foregroundcolor, default
822 is 0xa0.
823
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000824- Console Baudrate:
825 CONFIG_BAUDRATE - in bps
826 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200827 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
828 CONFIG_SYS_BRGCLK_PRESCALE, baudrate prescale
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000829
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100830- Console Rx buffer length
831 With CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN it is possible to define
832 the maximum receive buffer length for the SMC.
Heiko Schocher2b3f12c2009-02-10 09:31:47 +0100833 This option is actual only for 82xx and 8xx possible.
Heiko Schocherc92fac92009-01-30 12:55:38 +0100834 If using CONFIG_SYS_SMC_RXBUFLEN also CONFIG_SYS_MAXIDLE
835 must be defined, to setup the maximum idle timeout for
836 the SMC.
837
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000838- Pre-Console Buffer:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200839 Prior to the console being initialised (i.e. serial UART
840 initialised etc) all console output is silently discarded.
841 Defining CONFIG_PRE_CONSOLE_BUFFER will cause U-Boot to
842 buffer any console messages prior to the console being
843 initialised to a buffer of size CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
844 bytes located at CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_ADDR. The buffer is
845 a circular buffer, so if more than CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ
Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +0200846 bytes are output before the console is initialised, the
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200847 earlier bytes are discarded.
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000848
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +0200849 'Sane' compilers will generate smaller code if
850 CONFIG_PRE_CON_BUF_SZ is a power of 2
Graeme Russ9558b482011-09-01 00:48:27 +0000851
Sonny Rao046a37b2011-11-02 09:52:08 +0000852- Safe printf() functions
853 Define CONFIG_SYS_VSNPRINTF to compile in safe versions of
854 the printf() functions. These are defined in
855 include/vsprintf.h and include snprintf(), vsnprintf() and
856 so on. Code size increase is approximately 300-500 bytes.
857 If this option is not given then these functions will
858 silently discard their buffer size argument - this means
859 you are not getting any overflow checking in this case.
860
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000861- Boot Delay: CONFIG_BOOTDELAY - in seconds
862 Delay before automatically booting the default image;
863 set to -1 to disable autoboot.
Joe Hershberger93d72122012-08-17 10:53:12 +0000864 set to -2 to autoboot with no delay and not check for abort
865 (even when CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK is defined).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000866
867 See doc/README.autoboot for these options that
868 work with CONFIG_BOOTDELAY. None are required.
869 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_TIME
870 CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY_MIN
871 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
872 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_PROMPT
873 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR
874 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
875 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_DELAY_STR2
876 CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR2
877 CONFIG_ZERO_BOOTDELAY_CHECK
878 CONFIG_RESET_TO_RETRY
879
880- Autoboot Command:
881 CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
882 Only needed when CONFIG_BOOTDELAY is enabled;
883 define a command string that is automatically executed
884 when no character is read on the console interface
885 within "Boot Delay" after reset.
886
887 CONFIG_BOOTARGS
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000888 This can be used to pass arguments to the bootm
889 command. The value of CONFIG_BOOTARGS goes into the
890 environment value "bootargs".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000891
892 CONFIG_RAMBOOT and CONFIG_NFSBOOT
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +0000893 The value of these goes into the environment as
894 "ramboot" and "nfsboot" respectively, and can be used
895 as a convenience, when switching between booting from
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +0200896 RAM and NFS.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000897
Heiko Schochereda0ba32013-11-04 14:04:59 +0100898- Bootcount:
899 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
900 Implements a mechanism for detecting a repeating reboot
901 cycle, see:
902 http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
903
904 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ENV
905 If no softreset save registers are found on the hardware
906 "bootcount" is stored in the environment. To prevent a
907 saveenv on all reboots, the environment variable
908 "upgrade_available" is used. If "upgrade_available" is
909 0, "bootcount" is always 0, if "upgrade_available" is
910 1 "bootcount" is incremented in the environment.
911 So the Userspace Applikation must set the "upgrade_available"
912 and "bootcount" variable to 0, if a boot was successfully.
913
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000914- Pre-Boot Commands:
915 CONFIG_PREBOOT
916
917 When this option is #defined, the existence of the
918 environment variable "preboot" will be checked
919 immediately before starting the CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
920 countdown and/or running the auto-boot command resp.
921 entering interactive mode.
922
923 This feature is especially useful when "preboot" is
924 automatically generated or modified. For an example
925 see the LWMON board specific code: here "preboot" is
926 modified when the user holds down a certain
927 combination of keys on the (special) keyboard when
928 booting the systems
929
930- Serial Download Echo Mode:
931 CONFIG_LOADS_ECHO
932 If defined to 1, all characters received during a
933 serial download (using the "loads" command) are
934 echoed back. This might be needed by some terminal
935 emulations (like "cu"), but may as well just take
936 time on others. This setting #define's the initial
937 value of the "loads_echo" environment variable.
938
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500939- Kgdb Serial Baudrate: (if CONFIG_CMD_KGDB is defined)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000940 CONFIG_KGDB_BAUDRATE
941 Select one of the baudrates listed in
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +0200942 CONFIG_SYS_BAUDRATE_TABLE, see below.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000943
944- Monitor Functions:
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500945 Monitor commands can be included or excluded
946 from the build by using the #include files
Stephen Warrenc6c621b2012-08-05 16:07:19 +0000947 <config_cmd_all.h> and #undef'ing unwanted
948 commands, or using <config_cmd_default.h>
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500949 and augmenting with additional #define's
950 for wanted commands.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +0000951
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -0500952 The default command configuration includes all commands
953 except those marked below with a "*".

Gerald Van Baren213bf8c2007-03-31 12:23:51 -04001068 Other Commands:
1069 fdt (flattened device tree) command: CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001070
1071 Note: Don't enable the "icache" and "dcache" commands
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001072 (configuration option CONFIG_CMD_CACHE) unless you know
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001073 what you (and your U-Boot users) are doing. Data
1074 cache cannot be enabled on systems like the 8xx or
1075 8260 (where accesses to the IMMR region must be
1076 uncached), and it cannot be disabled on all other
1077 systems where we (mis-) use the data cache to hold an
1078 initial stack and some data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001079
1080
1081 XXX - this list needs to get updated!
1082
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001083- Regular expression support:
1084 CONFIG_REGEX
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001085 If this variable is defined, U-Boot is linked against
1086 the SLRE (Super Light Regular Expression) library,
1087 which adds regex support to some commands, as for
1088 example "env grep" and "setexpr".
Wolfgang Denka5ecbe62013-03-23 23:50:31 +00001089
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001090- Device tree:
1091 CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
1092 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will use a device tree
1093 to configure its devices, instead of relying on statically
1094 compiled #defines in the board file. This option is
1095 experimental and only available on a few boards. The device
1096 tree is available in the global data as gd->fdt_blob.
1097
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001098 U-Boot needs to get its device tree from somewhere. This can
1099 be done using one of the two options below:
Simon Glassbbb0b122011-10-15 05:48:21 +00001100
1101 CONFIG_OF_EMBED
1102 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will embed a device tree
1103 binary in its image. This device tree file should be in the
1104 board directory and called <soc>-<board>.dts. The binary file
1105 is then picked up in board_init_f() and made available through
1106 the global data structure as gd->blob.
Simon Glass45ba8072011-10-15 05:48:20 +00001107
Simon Glass2c0f79e2011-10-24 19:15:31 +00001108 CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE
1109 If this variable is defined, U-Boot will build a device tree
1110 binary. It will be called u-boot.dtb. Architecture-specific
1111 code will locate it at run-time. Generally this works by:
1112
1113 cat u-boot.bin u-boot.dtb >image.bin
1114
1115 and in fact, U-Boot does this for you, creating a file called
1116 u-boot-dtb.bin which is useful in the common case. You can
1117 still use the individual files if you need something more
1118 exotic.
1119
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001120- Watchdog:
1121 CONFIG_WATCHDOG
1122 If this variable is defined, it enables watchdog
Detlev Zundel6abe6fb2011-04-27 05:25:59 +00001123 support for the SoC. There must be support in the SoC
1124 specific code for a watchdog. For the 8xx and 8260
1125 CPUs, the SIU Watchdog feature is enabled in the SYPCR
1126 register. When supported for a specific SoC is
1127 available, then no further board specific code should
1128 be needed to use it.
1129
1130 CONFIG_HW_WATCHDOG
1131 When using a watchdog circuitry external to the used
1132 SoC, then define this variable and provide board
1133 specific code for the "hw_watchdog_reset" function.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001134
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001135- U-Boot Version:
1136 CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE
1137 If this variable is defined, an environment variable
1138 named "ver" is created by U-Boot showing the U-Boot
1139 version as printed by the "version" command.
Benoît Thébaudeaua1ea8e52012-08-13 15:01:14 +02001140 Any change to this variable will be reverted at the
1141 next reset.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00001142
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001143- Real-Time Clock:
1144
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001145 When CONFIG_CMD_DATE is selected, the type of the RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001146 has to be selected, too. Define exactly one of the
1147 following options:
1148
1149 CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx - use internal RTC of MPC8xx
1150 CONFIG_RTC_PCF8563 - use Philips PCF8563 RTC
Fabio Estevam4e8b7542011-10-24 06:44:15 +00001151 CONFIG_RTC_MC13XXX - use MC13783 or MC13892 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001152 CONFIG_RTC_MC146818 - use MC146818 RTC
wdenk1cb8e982003-03-06 21:55:29 +00001153 CONFIG_RTC_DS1307 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1307 RTC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001154 CONFIG_RTC_DS1337 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1337 RTC
wdenk7f70e852003-05-20 14:25:27 +00001155 CONFIG_RTC_DS1338 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1338 RTC
Markus Niebel412921d2014-07-21 11:06:16 +02001156 CONFIG_RTC_DS1339 - use Maxim, Inc. DS1339 RTC
wdenk3bac3512003-03-12 10:41:04 +00001157 CONFIG_RTC_DS164x - use Dallas DS164x RTC
Tor Krill9536dfc2008-03-15 15:40:26 +01001158 CONFIG_RTC_ISL1208 - use Intersil ISL1208 RTC
wdenk4c0d4c32004-06-09 17:34:58 +00001159 CONFIG_RTC_MAX6900 - use Maxim, Inc. MAX6900 RTC
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001160 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_DS1337_NOOSC - Turn off the OSC output for DS1337
Heiko Schocher71d19f32011-03-28 09:24:22 +02001161 CONFIG_SYS_RV3029_TCR - enable trickle charger on
1162 RV3029 RTC.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001163
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00001164 Note that if the RTC uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1165 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1166
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001167- GPIO Support:
1168 CONFIG_PCA953X - use NXP's PCA953X series I2C GPIO
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001169
Chris Packham5dec49c2010-12-19 10:12:13 +00001170 The CONFIG_SYS_I2C_PCA953X_WIDTH option specifies a list of
1171 chip-ngpio pairs that tell the PCA953X driver the number of
1172 pins supported by a particular chip.
1173
Peter Tysere92739d2008-12-17 16:36:21 -06001174 Note that if the GPIO device uses I2C, then the I2C interface
1175 must also be configured. See I2C Support, below.
1176
Simon Glassaa532332014-06-11 23:29:41 -06001177- I/O tracing:
1178 When CONFIG_IO_TRACE is selected, U-Boot intercepts all I/O
1179 accesses and can checksum them or write a list of them out
1180 to memory. See the 'iotrace' command for details. This is
1181 useful for testing device drivers since it can confirm that
1182 the driver behaves the same way before and after a code
1183 change. Currently this is supported on sandbox and arm. To
1184 add support for your architecture, add '#include <iotrace.h>'
1185 to the bottom of arch/<arch>/include/asm/io.h and test.
1186
1187 Example output from the 'iotrace stats' command is below.
1188 Note that if the trace buffer is exhausted, the checksum will
1189 still continue to operate.
1190
1191 iotrace is enabled
1192 Start: 10000000 (buffer start address)
1193 Size: 00010000 (buffer size)
1194 Offset: 00000120 (current buffer offset)
1195 Output: 10000120 (start + offset)
1196 Count: 00000018 (number of trace records)
1197 CRC32: 9526fb66 (CRC32 of all trace records)
1198
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001199- Timestamp Support:
1200
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00001201 When CONFIG_TIMESTAMP is selected, the timestamp
1202 (date and time) of an image is printed by image
1203 commands like bootm or iminfo. This option is
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05001204 automatically enabled when you select CONFIG_CMD_DATE .
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001205
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001206- Partition Labels (disklabels) Supported:
1207 Zero or more of the following:
1208 CONFIG_MAC_PARTITION Apple's MacOS partition table.
1209 CONFIG_DOS_PARTITION MS Dos partition table, traditional on the
1210 Intel architecture, USB sticks, etc.
1211 CONFIG_ISO_PARTITION ISO partition table, used on CDROM etc.
1212 CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION GPT partition table, common when EFI is the
1213 bootloader. Note 2TB partition limit; see
1214 disk/part_efi.c
1215 CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONS Memory Technology Device partition table.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001216
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01001217 If IDE or SCSI support is enabled (CONFIG_CMD_IDE or
1218 CONFIG_CMD_SCSI) you must configure support for at
Karl O. Pinc923c46f2012-08-16 06:20:15 +00001219 least one non-MTD partition type as well.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001220
1221- IDE Reset method:
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001222 CONFIG_IDE_RESET_ROUTINE - this is defined in several
1223 board configurations files but used nowhere!
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001224
wdenk4d13cba2004-03-14 14:09:05 +00001225 CONFIG_IDE_RESET - is this is defined, IDE Reset will
1226 be performed by calling the function
1227 ide_set_reset(int reset)
1228 which has to be defined in a board specific file
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001229
1230- ATAPI Support:
1231 CONFIG_ATAPI
1232
1233 Set this to enable ATAPI support.
1234
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001235- LBA48 Support
1236 CONFIG_LBA48
1237
1238 Set this to enable support for disks larger than 137GB
Heiko Schocher4b142fe2009-12-03 11:21:21 +01001239 Also look at CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA.
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001240 Whithout these , LBA48 support uses 32bit variables and will 'only'
1241 support disks up to 2.1TB.
1242
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001243 CONFIG_SYS_64BIT_LBA:
wdenkc40b2952004-03-13 23:29:43 +00001244 When enabled, makes the IDE subsystem use 64bit sector addresses.
1245 Default is 32bit.
1246
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001247- SCSI Support:
1248 At the moment only there is only support for the
1249 SYM53C8XX SCSI controller; define
1250 CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX to enable it.
1251
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001252 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN [8], CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID [7] and
1253 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_DEVICE [CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_SCSI_ID *
1254 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_MAX_LUN] can be adjusted to define the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001255 maximum numbers of LUNs, SCSI ID's and target
1256 devices.
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001257 CONFIG_SYS_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_CCF to fix clock timing (80Mhz)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001258
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02001259 The environment variable 'scsidevs' is set to the number of
1260 SCSI devices found during the last scan.
Stefan Reinauer447c0312012-10-29 05:23:48 +00001261
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00001262- NETWORK Support (PCI):

Kyle Moffettce5207e2011-10-18 11:05:29 +00001264 Support for Intel 8254x/8257x gigabit chips.
1265
1266 CONFIG_E1000_SPI
1267 Utility code for direct access to the SPI bus on Intel 8257x.
1268 This does not do anything useful unless you set at least one
1269 of CONFIG_CMD_E1000 or CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC.
1270
1271 CONFIG_E1000_SPI_GENERIC
1272 Allow generic access to the SPI bus on the Intel 8257x, for
1273 example with the "sspi" command.
1274
1275 CONFIG_CMD_E1000
1276 Management command for E1000 devices. When used on devices
1277 with SPI support you can reprogram the EEPROM from U-Boot.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00001278
Andre Schwarzac3315c2008-03-06 16:45:44 +01001279 CONFIG_E1000_FALLBACK_MAC

1594 When updating files rather than the raw storage device,
1595 we use a static buffer to copy the file into and then write
1596 the buffer once we've been given the whole file. Define
1597 this to the maximum filesize (in bytes) for the buffer.
1598 Default is 4 MiB if undefined.
1599
Heiko Schocher001a8312014-03-18 08:09:56 +01001600 DFU_DEFAULT_POLL_TIMEOUT
1601 Poll timeout [ms], is the timeout a device can send to the
1602 host. The host must wait for this timeout before sending
1603 a subsequent DFU_GET_STATUS request to the device.
1604
1605 DFU_MANIFEST_POLL_TIMEOUT
1606 Poll timeout [ms], which the device sends to the host when
1607 entering dfuMANIFEST state. Host waits this timeout, before
1608 sending again an USB request to the device.

Wolfgang Denk04e5ae72011-09-11 21:24:09 +02001740 Enable the Freescale DIU video driver. Reference boards for
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001741 SOCs that have a DIU should define this macro to enable DIU
1742 support, and should also define these other macros:

Timur Tabiba8e76b2011-04-11 14:18:22 -05001753 The DIU driver will look for the 'video-mode' environment
1754 variable, and if defined, enable the DIU as a console during
1755 boot. See the documentation file README.video for a
1756 description of this variable.
Timur Tabi7d3053f2011-02-15 17:09:19 -06001757

wdenk682011f2003-06-03 23:54:09 +00001767
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001768 Define this to enable a custom keyboard support.
1769 This simply calls drv_keyboard_init() which must be
1770 defined in your board-specific files.
1771 The only board using this so far is RBC823.

Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001825 CONFIG_LCD_ALIGNMENT
1826
1827 Normally the LCD is page-aligned (tyically 4KB). If this is
1828 defined then the LCD will be aligned to this value instead.
1829 For ARM it is sometimes useful to use MMU_SECTION_SIZE
1830 here, since it is cheaper to change data cache settings on
1831 a per-section basis.
1832
Simon Glass0d89efe2012-10-17 13:24:59 +00001833 CONFIG_CONSOLE_SCROLL_LINES
1834
1835 When the console need to be scrolled, this is the number of
1836 lines to scroll by. It defaults to 1. Increasing this makes
1837 the console jump but can help speed up operation when scrolling
1838 is slow.
Simon Glass676d3192012-10-17 13:24:54 +00001839
Tom Wai-Hong Tam45d7f522012-09-28 15:11:16 +00001840 CONFIG_LCD_BMP_RLE8

1843
Tom Wai-Hong Tam735987c2012-12-05 14:46:40 +00001844 CONFIG_I2C_EDID
1845

1847 information over I2C from an attached LCD display.
1848
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00001849- Splash Screen Support: CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001850
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001851 If this option is set, the environment is checked for
1852 a variable "splashimage". If found, the usual display
1853 of logo, copyright and system information on the LCD
wdenke94d2cd2004-06-30 22:59:18 +00001854 is suppressed and the BMP image at the address
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00001855 specified in "splashimage" is loaded instead. The
1856 console is redirected to the "nulldev", too. This
1857 allows for a "silent" boot where a splash screen is
1858 loaded very quickly after power-on.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001859
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001860 CONFIG_SPLASHIMAGE_GUARD
1861
1862 If this option is set, then U-Boot will prevent the environment
1863 variable "splashimage" from being set to a problematic address
Tom Rini1551df32014-02-25 10:27:01 -05001864 (see README.displaying-bmps).
Nikita Kiryanovc0880482013-02-24 21:28:43 +00001865 This option is useful for targets where, due to alignment
1866 restrictions, an improperly aligned BMP image will cause a data
1867 abort. If you think you will not have problems with unaligned
1868 accesses (for example because your toolchain prevents them)
1869 there is no need to set this option.
1870
Matthias Weisser1ca298c2009-07-09 16:07:30 +02001871 CONFIG_SPLASH_SCREEN_ALIGN
1872
1873 If this option is set the splash image can be freely positioned
1874 on the screen. Environment variable "splashpos" specifies the
1875 position as "x,y". If a positive number is given it is used as
1876 number of pixel from left/top. If a negative number is given it
1877 is used as number of pixel from right/bottom. You can also
1878 specify 'm' for centering the image.
1879
1880 Example:
1881 setenv splashpos m,m
1882 => image at center of screen
1883
1884 setenv splashpos 30,20
1885 => image at x = 30 and y = 20
1886
1887 setenv splashpos -10,m
1888 => vertically centered image
1889 at x = dspWidth - bmpWidth - 9
1890
Stefan Roese98f4a3d2005-09-22 09:04:17 +02001891- Gzip compressed BMP image support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_GZIP
1892
1893 If this option is set, additionally to standard BMP
1894 images, gzipped BMP images can be displayed via the
1895 splashscreen support or the bmp command.
1896
Anatolij Gustschind5011762010-03-15 14:50:25 +01001897- Run length encoded BMP image (RLE8) support: CONFIG_VIDEO_BMP_RLE8
1898
1899 If this option is set, 8-bit RLE compressed BMP images
1900 can be displayed via the splashscreen support or the
1901 bmp command.
1902
Lei Wenf2b96df2012-09-28 04:26:47 +00001903- Do compresssing for memory range:
1904 CONFIG_CMD_ZIP
1905
1906 If this option is set, it would use zlib deflate method
1907 to compress the specified memory at its best effort.
1908
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001909- Compression support:
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001910 CONFIG_GZIP
1911
1912 Enabled by default to support gzip compressed images.
1913
wdenkc29fdfc2003-08-29 20:57:53 +00001914 CONFIG_BZIP2
1915
1916 If this option is set, support for bzip2 compressed
1917 images is included. If not, only uncompressed and gzip
1918 compressed images are supported.
1919
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001920 NOTE: the bzip2 algorithm requires a lot of RAM, so
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001921 the malloc area (as defined by CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN) should
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00001922 be at least 4MB.
wdenkd791b1d2003-04-20 14:04:18 +00001923
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001924 CONFIG_LZMA
1925
1926 If this option is set, support for lzma compressed
1927 images is included.
1928
1929 Note: The LZMA algorithm adds between 2 and 4KB of code and it
1930 requires an amount of dynamic memory that is given by the
1931 formula:
1932
1933 (1846 + 768 << (lc + lp)) * sizeof(uint16)
1934
1935 Where lc and lp stand for, respectively, Literal context bits
1936 and Literal pos bits.
1937
1938 This value is upper-bounded by 14MB in the worst case. Anyway,
1939 for a ~4MB large kernel image, we have lc=3 and lp=0 for a
1940 total amount of (1846 + 768 << (3 + 0)) * 2 = ~41KB... that is
1941 a very small buffer.
1942
1943 Use the lzmainfo tool to determinate the lc and lp values and
1944 then calculate the amount of needed dynamic memory (ensuring
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02001945 the appropriate CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN value).
Luigi 'Comio' Mantellinifc9c1722008-09-08 02:46:13 +02001946
Kees Cook8ef70472013-08-16 07:59:12 -07001947 CONFIG_LZO
1948
1949 If this option is set, support for LZO compressed images
1950 is included.
1951
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001952- MII/PHY support:

1958
1959 The clock frequency of the MII bus
1960
1961 CONFIG_PHY_GIGE
1962
1963 If this option is set, support for speed/duplex
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02001964 detection of gigabit PHY is included.
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00001965
1966 CONFIG_PHY_RESET_DELAY
1967
1968 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1969 reset before any MII register access is possible.
1970 For such PHY, set this option to the usec delay
1971 required. (minimum 300usec for LXT971A)
1972
1973 CONFIG_PHY_CMD_DELAY (ppc4xx)
1974
1975 Some PHY like Intel LXT971A need extra delay after
1976 command issued before MII status register can be read

David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002027- Multicast TFTP Mode:
2028 CONFIG_MCAST_TFTP
2029
2030 Defines whether you want to support multicast TFTP as per
2031 rfc-2090; for example to work with atftp. Lets lots of targets
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002032 tftp down the same boot image concurrently. Note: the Ethernet
David Updegraff53a5c422007-06-11 10:41:07 -05002033 driver in use must provide a function: mcast() to join/leave a
2034 multicast group.
2035
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002036- BOOTP Recovery Mode:
2037 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY
2038
2039 If you have many targets in a network that try to
2040 boot using BOOTP, you may want to avoid that all
2041 systems send out BOOTP requests at precisely the same
2042 moment (which would happen for instance at recovery
2043 from a power failure, when all systems will try to
2044 boot, thus flooding the BOOTP server. Defining
2045 CONFIG_BOOTP_RANDOM_DELAY causes a random delay to be
2046 inserted before sending out BOOTP requests. The
Wolfgang Denk6c33c782007-08-06 23:21:05 +02002047 following delays are inserted then:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002048
2049 1st BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 1 sec
2050 2nd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 2 sec
2051 3rd BOOTP request: delay 0 ... 4 sec
2052 4th and following
2053 BOOTP requests: delay 0 ... 8 sec
2054
Thierry Reding92ac8ac2014-08-19 10:21:24 +02002055 CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE
2056
2057 BOOTP packets are uniquely identified using a 32-bit ID. The
2058 server will copy the ID from client requests to responses and
2059 U-Boot will use this to determine if it is the destination of
2060 an incoming response. Some servers will check that addresses
2061 aren't in use before handing them out (usually using an ARP
2062 ping) and therefore take up to a few hundred milliseconds to
2063 respond. Network congestion may also influence the time it
2064 takes for a response to make it back to the client. If that
2065 time is too long, U-Boot will retransmit requests. In order
2066 to allow earlier responses to still be accepted after these
2067 retransmissions, U-Boot's BOOTP client keeps a small cache of
2068 IDs. The CONFIG_BOOTP_ID_CACHE_SIZE controls the size of this
2069 cache. The default is to keep IDs for up to four outstanding
2070 requests. Increasing this will allow U-Boot to accept offers
2071 from a BOOTP client in networks with unusually high latency.

Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002091 CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP - TFTP server will be the serverip
2092 environment variable, not the BOOTP server.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002093
Joe Hershberger2c00e092012-05-23 07:59:19 +00002094 CONFIG_BOOTP_MAY_FAIL - If the DHCP server is not found
2095 after the configured retry count, the call will fail
2096 instead of starting over. This can be used to fail over
2097 to Link-local IP address configuration if the DHCP server
2098 is not available.
2099
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002100 CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 - If a DHCP client requests the DNS
2101 serverip from a DHCP server, it is possible that more
2102 than one DNS serverip is offered to the client.
2103 If CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS2 is enabled, the secondary DNS
2104 serverip will be stored in the additional environment
2105 variable "dnsip2". The first DNS serverip is always
2106 stored in the variable "dnsip", when CONFIG_BOOTP_DNS
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002107 is defined.
stroesefe389a82003-08-28 14:17:32 +00002108
2109 CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME - Some DHCP servers are capable
2110 to do a dynamic update of a DNS server. To do this, they
2111 need the hostname of the DHCP requester.
Wilson Callan5d110f02007-07-28 10:56:13 -04002112 If CONFIG_BOOTP_SEND_HOSTNAME is defined, the content
Jon Loeliger1fe80d72007-07-09 22:08:34 -05002113 of the "hostname" environment variable is passed as
2114 option 12 to the DHCP server.

Aras Vaichasd9a2f412008-03-26 09:43:57 +11002116 CONFIG_BOOTP_DHCP_REQUEST_DELAY
2117
2118 A 32bit value in microseconds for a delay between
2119 receiving a "DHCP Offer" and sending the "DHCP Request".
2120 This fixes a problem with certain DHCP servers that don't
2121 respond 100% of the time to a "DHCP request". E.g. On an
2122 AT91RM9200 processor running at 180MHz, this delay needed
2123 to be *at least* 15,000 usec before a Windows Server 2003
2124 DHCP server would reply 100% of the time. I recommend at
2125 least 50,000 usec to be safe. The alternative is to hope
2126 that one of the retries will be successful but note that
2127 the DHCP timeout and retry process takes a longer than
2128 this delay.
2129
Joe Hershbergerd22c3382012-05-23 08:00:12 +00002130 - Link-local IP address negotiation:
2131 Negotiate with other link-local clients on the local network
2132 for an address that doesn't require explicit configuration.
2133 This is especially useful if a DHCP server cannot be guaranteed
2134 to exist in all environments that the device must operate.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002180- Status LED: CONFIG_STATUS_LED
2181
2182 Several configurations allow to display the current
2183 status using a LED. For instance, the LED will blink
2184 fast while running U-Boot code, stop blinking as
2185 soon as a reply to a BOOTP request was received, and
2186 start blinking slow once the Linux kernel is running
2187 (supported by a status LED driver in the Linux
2188 kernel). Defining CONFIG_STATUS_LED enables this
2189 feature in U-Boot.
2190
Igor Grinberg1df7bbb2013-11-08 01:03:50 +02002191 Additional options:
2192
2193 CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2194 The status LED can be connected to a GPIO pin.
2195 In such cases, the gpio_led driver can be used as a
2196 status LED backend implementation. Define CONFIG_GPIO_LED
2197 to include the gpio_led driver in the U-Boot binary.
2198
Igor Grinberg9dfdcdf2013-11-08 01:03:52 +02002199 CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE
2200 Some GPIO connected LEDs may have inverted polarity in which
2201 case the GPIO high value corresponds to LED off state and
2202 GPIO low value corresponds to LED on state.
2203 In such cases CONFIG_GPIO_LED_INVERTED_TABLE may be defined
2204 with a list of GPIO LEDs that have inverted polarity.
2205
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002206- CAN Support: CONFIG_CAN_DRIVER

2209 on those systems that support this (optional)
2210 feature, like the TQM8xxL modules.

2341
2342 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES
2343 Hold the number of i2c busses you want to use. If you
2344 don't use/have i2c muxes on your i2c bus, this
2345 is equal to CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_ADAPTERS, and you can
2346 omit this define.
2347
2348 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
2349 define this, if you don't use i2c muxes on your hardware.
2350 if CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS is not defined or == 0 you can
2351 omit this define.
2352
2353 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS
2354 define how many muxes are maximal consecutively connected
2355 on one i2c bus. If you not use i2c muxes, omit this
2356 define.
2357
2358 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BUSES
2359 hold a list of busses you want to use, only used if
2360 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS is not defined, for example
2361 a board with CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS = 1 and
2362 CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSES = 9:

Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002388- Legacy I2C Support: CONFIG_HARD_I2C
Heiko Schocher3f4978c2012-01-16 21:12:24 +00002389
2390 NOTE: It is intended to move drivers to CONFIG_SYS_I2C which
2391 provides the following compelling advantages:
2392
2393 - more than one i2c adapter is usable
2394 - approved multibus support
2395 - better i2c mux support
2396
2397 ** Please consider updating your I2C driver now. **
2398
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002399 These enable legacy I2C serial bus commands. Defining
2400 CONFIG_HARD_I2C will include the appropriate I2C driver
2401 for the selected CPU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002402
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002403 This will allow you to use i2c commands at the u-boot
Jon Loeliger602ad3b2007-06-11 19:03:39 -05002404 command line (as long as you set CONFIG_CMD_I2C in
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002405 CONFIG_COMMANDS) and communicate with i2c based realtime
2406 clock chips. See common/cmd_i2c.c for a description of the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002407 command line interface.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002408
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002409 CONFIG_HARD_I2C selects a hardware I2C controller.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002410
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002411 There are several other quantities that must also be
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002412 defined when you define CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002413
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002414 In both cases you will need to define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002415 to be the frequency (in Hz) at which you wish your i2c bus
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002416 to run and CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to be the address of this node (ie
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002417 the CPU's i2c node address).
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002418
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002419 Now, the u-boot i2c code for the mpc8xx
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02002420 (arch/powerpc/cpu/mpc8xx/i2c.c) sets the CPU up as a master node
Peter Tyser8d321b82010-04-12 22:28:21 -05002421 and so its address should therefore be cleared to 0 (See,
2422 eg, MPC823e User's Manual p.16-473). So, set
2423 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE to 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002424
Eric Millbrandt5da71ef2009-09-03 08:09:44 -05002425 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_MPC5XXX
2426
2427 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2428 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2429 in progress. Reset the slave devices by sending start
2430 commands until the slave device responds.
2431
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002432 That's all that's required for CONFIG_HARD_I2C.
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002433
Heiko Schocherea818db2013-01-29 08:53:15 +01002434 If you use the software i2c interface (CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SOFT)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002435 then the following macros need to be defined (examples are
2436 from include/configs/lwmon.h):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002437
2438 I2C_INIT
2439
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002440 (Optional). Any commands necessary to enable the I2C
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002441 controller or configure ports.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002442
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00002443 eg: #define I2C_INIT (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SCL)
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002444
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002445 I2C_PORT
2446
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002447 (Only for MPC8260 CPU). The I/O port to use (the code
2448 assumes both bits are on the same port). Valid values
2449 are 0..3 for ports A..D.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002450
2451 I2C_ACTIVE
2452
2453 The code necessary to make the I2C data line active
2454 (driven). If the data line is open collector, this
2455 define can be null.
2456
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002457 eg: #define I2C_ACTIVE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir |= PB_SDA)
2458
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002459 I2C_TRISTATE
2460
2461 The code necessary to make the I2C data line tri-stated
2462 (inactive). If the data line is open collector, this
2463 define can be null.
2464
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002465 eg: #define I2C_TRISTATE (immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdir &= ~PB_SDA)
2466
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002467 I2C_READ
2468
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002469 Code that returns true if the I2C data line is high,
2470 false if it is low.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002471
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002472 eg: #define I2C_READ ((immr->im_cpm.cp_pbdat & PB_SDA) != 0)
2473
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002474 I2C_SDA(bit)
2475
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002476 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C data line high. If it
2477 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002478
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002479 eg: #define I2C_SDA(bit) \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002483 I2C_SCL(bit)
2484
York Sun472d5462013-04-01 11:29:11 -07002485 If <bit> is true, sets the I2C clock line high. If it
2486 is false, it clears it (low).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002487
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002488 eg: #define I2C_SCL(bit) \

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002492 I2C_DELAY
2493
2494 This delay is invoked four times per clock cycle so this
2495 controls the rate of data transfer. The data rate thus
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002496 is 1 / (I2C_DELAY * 4). Often defined to be something
wdenk945af8d2003-07-16 21:53:01 +00002497 like:
2498
wdenkb37c7e52003-06-30 16:24:52 +00002499 #define I2C_DELAY udelay(2)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002500
Mike Frysinger793b5722010-07-21 13:38:02 -04002501 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SCL / CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_GPIO_SDA
2502
2503 If your arch supports the generic GPIO framework (asm/gpio.h),
2504 then you may alternatively define the two GPIOs that are to be
2505 used as SCL / SDA. Any of the previous I2C_xxx macros will
2506 have GPIO-based defaults assigned to them as appropriate.
2507
2508 You should define these to the GPIO value as given directly to
2509 the generic GPIO functions.
2510
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002511 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002512
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002513 When a board is reset during an i2c bus transfer
2514 chips might think that the current transfer is still
2515 in progress. On some boards it is possible to access
2516 the i2c SCLK line directly, either by using the
2517 processor pin as a GPIO or by having a second pin
2518 connected to the bus. If this option is defined a
2519 custom i2c_init_board() routine in boards/xxx/board.c
2520 is run early in the boot sequence.
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002521
Richard Retanubun26a33502010-04-12 15:08:17 -04002522 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_BOARD_LATE_INIT
2523
2524 An alternative to CONFIG_SYS_I2C_INIT_BOARD. If this option is
2525 defined a custom i2c_board_late_init() routine in
2526 boards/xxx/board.c is run AFTER the operations in i2c_init()
2527 is completed. This callpoint can be used to unreset i2c bus
2528 using CPU i2c controller register accesses for CPUs whose i2c
2529 controller provide such a method. It is called at the end of
2530 i2c_init() to allow i2c_init operations to setup the i2c bus
2531 controller on the CPU (e.g. setting bus speed & slave address).
2532
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00002533 CONFIG_I2CFAST (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
2534
2535 This option enables configuration of bi_iic_fast[] flags
2536 in u-boot bd_info structure based on u-boot environment
2537 variable "i2cfast". (see also i2cfast)
2538
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002539 CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
2540
2541 This option allows the use of multiple I2C buses, each of which
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002542 must have a controller. At any point in time, only one bus is
2543 active. To switch to a different bus, use the 'i2c dev' command.
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002544 Note that bus numbering is zero-based.
2545
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002546 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002547
2548 This option specifies a list of I2C devices that will be skipped
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002549 when the 'i2c probe' command is issued. If CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Peter Tyser0f89c542009-04-18 22:34:03 -05002550 is set, specify a list of bus-device pairs. Otherwise, specify
2551 a 1D array of device addresses
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002552
2553 e.g.
2554 #undef CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002555 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_NOPROBES {0x50,0x68}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002556
2557 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on a board with one I2C bus
2558
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002559 #define CONFIG_I2C_MULTI_BUS
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002560 #define CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MULTI_NOPROBES {{0,0x50},{0,0x68},{1,0x54}}
Ben Warrenbb99ad62006-09-07 16:50:54 -04002561
2562 will skip addresses 0x50 and 0x68 on bus 0 and address 0x54 on bus 1
2563
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002564 CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM
Timur Tabibe5e6182006-11-03 19:15:00 -06002565
2566 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for DDR SPD.
2567 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that SPD is on I2C bus 0.
2568
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002569 CONFIG_SYS_RTC_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002570
2571 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the RTC.
2572 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that RTC is on I2C bus 0.
2573
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002574 CONFIG_SYS_DTT_BUS_NUM
Stefan Roese0dc018e2007-02-20 10:51:26 +01002575
2576 If defined, then this indicates the I2C bus number for the DTT.
2577 If not defined, then U-Boot assumes that DTT is on I2C bus 0.
2578
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002579 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DTT_ADDR:
Victor Gallardo9ebbb542008-09-09 15:13:29 -07002580
2581 If defined, specifies the I2C address of the DTT device.
2582 If not defined, then U-Boot uses predefined value for
2583 specified DTT device.
2584
Andrew Dyer2ac69852008-12-29 17:36:01 -06002585 CONFIG_SOFT_I2C_READ_REPEATED_START
2586
2587 defining this will force the i2c_read() function in
2588 the soft_i2c driver to perform an I2C repeated start
2589 between writing the address pointer and reading the
2590 data. If this define is omitted the default behaviour
2591 of doing a stop-start sequence will be used. Most I2C
2592 devices can use either method, but some require one or
2593 the other.

2615 driver that only requires three general I/O port pins
2616 (two outputs, one input) to function. If this is
2617 defined, the board configuration must define several
2618 SPI configuration items (port pins to use, etc). For
2619 an example, see include/configs/sacsng.h.

Ben Warren04a9e112008-01-16 22:37:35 -05002621 CONFIG_HARD_SPI
2622
2623 Enables a hardware SPI driver for general-purpose reads
2624 and writes. As with CONFIG_SOFT_SPI, the board configuration
2625 must define a list of chip-select function pointers.
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00002626 Currently supported on some MPC8xxx processors. For an

2713 CONFIG_IDENT_STRING
2714
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002715 If defined, this string will be added to the U-Boot
2716 version information (U_BOOT_VERSION)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002717
2718- Vendor Parameter Protection:
2719
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002720 U-Boot considers the values of the environment
2721 variables "serial#" (Board Serial Number) and
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002722 "ethaddr" (Ethernet Address) to be parameters that
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002723 are set once by the board vendor / manufacturer, and
2724 protects these variables from casual modification by
2725 the user. Once set, these variables are read-only,
2726 and write or delete attempts are rejected. You can
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002727 change this behaviour:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002728
2729 If CONFIG_ENV_OVERWRITE is #defined in your config
2730 file, the write protection for vendor parameters is
wdenk47cd00f2003-03-06 13:39:27 +00002731 completely disabled. Anybody can change or delete
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002732 these parameters.
2733
2734 Alternatively, if you #define _both_ CONFIG_ETHADDR
2735 _and_ CONFIG_OVERWRITE_ETHADDR_ONCE, a default
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002736 Ethernet address is installed in the environment,
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002737 which can be changed exactly ONCE by the user. [The
2738 serial# is unaffected by this, i. e. it remains
2739 read-only.]
2740
Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06002741 The same can be accomplished in a more flexible way
2742 for any variable by configuring the type of access
2743 to allow for those variables in the ".flags" variable
2744 or define CONFIG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC.
2745
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002746- Protected RAM:
2747 CONFIG_PRAM
2748
2749 Define this variable to enable the reservation of
2750 "protected RAM", i. e. RAM which is not overwritten
2751 by U-Boot. Define CONFIG_PRAM to hold the number of
2752 kB you want to reserve for pRAM. You can overwrite
2753 this default value by defining an environment
2754 variable "pram" to the number of kB you want to
2755 reserve. Note that the board info structure will
2756 still show the full amount of RAM. If pRAM is
2757 reserved, a new environment variable "mem" will
2758 automatically be defined to hold the amount of
2759 remaining RAM in a form that can be passed as boot
2760 argument to Linux, for instance like that:
2761
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01002762 setenv bootargs ... mem=\${mem}
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002763 saveenv
2764
2765 This way you can tell Linux not to use this memory,
2766 either, which results in a memory region that will
2767 not be affected by reboots.
2768
2769 *WARNING* If your board configuration uses automatic
2770 detection of the RAM size, you must make sure that
2771 this memory test is non-destructive. So far, the
2772 following board configurations are known to be
2773 "pRAM-clean":

Gabe Black40fef042012-12-02 04:55:18 +00002779- Access to physical memory region (> 4GB)
2780 Some basic support is provided for operations on memory not
2781 normally accessible to U-Boot - e.g. some architectures
2782 support access to more than 4GB of memory on 32-bit
2783 machines using physical address extension or similar.
2784 Define CONFIG_PHYSMEM to access this basic support, which
2785 currently only supports clearing the memory.
2786
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002787- Error Recovery:
2788 CONFIG_PANIC_HANG
2789
2790 Define this variable to stop the system in case of a
2791 fatal error, so that you have to reset it manually.
2792 This is probably NOT a good idea for an embedded
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002793 system where you want the system to reboot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002794 automatically as fast as possible, but it may be
2795 useful during development since you can try to debug
2796 the conditions that lead to the situation.
2797
2798 CONFIG_NET_RETRY_COUNT
2799
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002800 This variable defines the number of retries for
2801 network operations like ARP, RARP, TFTP, or BOOTP
2802 before giving up the operation. If not defined, a
2803 default value of 5 is used.

Guennadi Liakhovetski40cb90e2008-04-03 17:04:19 +02002805 CONFIG_ARP_TIMEOUT
2806
2807 Timeout waiting for an ARP reply in milliseconds.
2808
Tetsuyuki Kobayashi48a3e992012-07-03 22:25:21 +00002809 CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT
2810
2811 Timeout in milliseconds used in NFS protocol.
2812 If you encounter "ERROR: Cannot umount" in nfs command,
2813 try longer timeout such as
2814 #define CONFIG_NFS_TIMEOUT 10000UL

2819 Enable auto completion of commands using TAB.
2820
Wolfgang Denka9398e02006-11-27 15:32:42 +01002821 Note that this feature has NOT been implemented yet
2822 for the "hush" shell.

2824
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002825 CONFIG_SYS_HUSH_PARSER
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002826
2827 Define this variable to enable the "hush" shell (from
2828 Busybox) as command line interpreter, thus enabling
2829 powerful command line syntax like
2830 if...then...else...fi conditionals or `&&' and '||'
2831 constructs ("shell scripts").
2832
2833 If undefined, you get the old, much simpler behaviour
2834 with a somewhat smaller memory footprint.
2835
2836
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002837 CONFIG_SYS_PROMPT_HUSH_PS2
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002838
2839 This defines the secondary prompt string, which is
2840 printed when the command interpreter needs more input
2841 to complete a command. Usually "> ".
2842
2843 Note:
2844
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002845 In the current implementation, the local variables
2846 space and global environment variables space are
2847 separated. Local variables are those you define by
2848 simply typing `name=value'. To access a local
2849 variable later on, you have write `$name' or
2850 `${name}'; to execute the contents of a variable
2851 directly type `$name' at the command prompt.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002852
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002853 Global environment variables are those you use
2854 setenv/printenv to work with. To run a command stored
2855 in such a variable, you need to use the run command,
2856 and you must not use the '$' sign to access them.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002857
2858 To store commands and special characters in a
2859 variable, please use double quotation marks
2860 surrounding the whole text of the variable, instead
2861 of the backslashes before semicolons and special
2862 symbols.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002871 CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
2872
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002873 Define this to contain any number of null terminated
2874 strings (variable = value pairs) that will be part of
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002875 the default environment compiled into the boot image.
wdenk2262cfe2002-11-18 00:14:45 +00002876
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002877 For example, place something like this in your
2878 board's config file:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002879
2880 #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS \
2881 "myvar1=value1\0" \
2882 "myvar2=value2\0"
2883
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002884 Warning: This method is based on knowledge about the
2885 internal format how the environment is stored by the
2886 U-Boot code. This is NOT an official, exported
2887 interface! Although it is unlikely that this format
wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00002888 will change soon, there is no guarantee either.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00002889 You better know what you are doing here.
2890
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002891 Note: overly (ab)use of the default environment is
2892 discouraged. Make sure to check other ways to preset
Wolfgang Denk74de7ae2009-04-01 23:34:12 +02002893 the environment like the "source" command or the
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00002894 boot command first.

Stephen Warren5e724ca2012-05-22 09:21:54 +00002896 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_CONFIG
2897
2898 Define this in order to add variables describing the
2899 U-Boot build configuration to the default environment.
2900 These will be named arch, cpu, board, vendor, and soc.
2901
2902 Enabling this option will cause the following to be defined:
2903
2904 - CONFIG_SYS_ARCH
2905 - CONFIG_SYS_CPU
2906 - CONFIG_SYS_BOARD
2907 - CONFIG_SYS_VENDOR
2908 - CONFIG_SYS_SOC

Tom Rini7e27f892012-10-24 07:28:16 +00002910 CONFIG_ENV_VARS_UBOOT_RUNTIME_CONFIG
2911
2912 Define this in order to add variables describing certain
2913 run-time determined information about the hardware to the
2914 environment. These will be named board_name, board_rev.
2915
Simon Glass06fd8532012-11-30 13:01:17 +00002916 CONFIG_DELAY_ENVIRONMENT
2917
2918 Normally the environment is loaded when the board is
2919 intialised so that it is available to U-Boot. This inhibits
2920 that so that the environment is not available until
2921 explicitly loaded later by U-Boot code. With CONFIG_OF_CONTROL
2922 this is instead controlled by the value of
2923 /config/load-environment.

2927
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00002928 Defining this option enables DataFlash features and
2929 allows to read/write in Dataflash via the standard
2930 commands cp, md...
wdenk2abbe072003-06-16 23:50:08 +00002931
Eric Nelsonf61ec452012-01-31 10:52:08 -07002932- Serial Flash support
2933 CONFIG_CMD_SF
2934
2935 Defining this option enables SPI flash commands
2936 'sf probe/read/write/erase/update'.
2937
2938 Usage requires an initial 'probe' to define the serial
2939 flash parameters, followed by read/write/erase/update
2940 commands.
2941
2942 The following defaults may be provided by the platform
2943 to handle the common case when only a single serial
2944 flash is present on the system.
2945
2946 CONFIG_SF_DEFAULT_BUS Bus identifier

Simon Glass24007272012-10-08 13:16:02 +00002951 CONFIG_CMD_SF_TEST
2952
2953 Define this option to include a destructive SPI flash
2954 test ('sf test').
2955
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Teki1dcd6d02013-06-19 15:33:58 +05302956 CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BAR Ban/Extended Addr Reg
2957
2958 Define this option to use the Bank addr/Extended addr
2959 support on SPI flashes which has size > 16Mbytes.
2960
Jagannadha Sutradharudu Tekib902e072014-01-11 15:25:04 +05302961 CONFIG_SF_DUAL_FLASH Dual flash memories
2962
2963 Define this option to use dual flash support where two flash
2964 memories can be connected with a given cs line.
2965 currently Xilinx Zynq qspi support these type of connections.
2966
Heiko Schocher562f8df2014-07-18 06:07:21 +02002967 CONFIG_SYS_SPI_ST_ENABLE_WP_PIN
2968 enable the W#/Vpp signal to disable writing to the status
2969 register on ST MICRON flashes like the N25Q128.
2970 The status register write enable/disable bit, combined with
2971 the W#/VPP signal provides hardware data protection for the
2972 device as follows: When the enable/disable bit is set to 1,
2973 and the W#/VPP signal is driven LOW, the status register
2974 nonvolatile bits become read-only and the WRITE STATUS REGISTER
2975 operation will not execute. The only way to exit this
2976 hardware-protected mode is to drive W#/VPP HIGH.
2977
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002978- SystemACE Support:
2979 CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
2980
2981 Adding this option adds support for Xilinx SystemACE
2982 chips attached via some sort of local bus. The address
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02002983 of the chip must also be defined in the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002984 CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE macro. For example:
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002985
2986 #define CONFIG_SYSTEMACE
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02002987 #define CONFIG_SYS_SYSTEMACE_BASE 0xf0000000
wdenk3f85ce22004-02-23 16:11:30 +00002988
2989 When SystemACE support is added, the "ace" device type
2990 becomes available to the fat commands, i.e. fatls.
2991
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002992- TFTP Fixed UDP Port:
2993 CONFIG_TFTP_PORT
2994
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002995 If this is defined, the environment variable tftpsrcp
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002996 is used to supply the TFTP UDP source port value.
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02002997 If tftpsrcp isn't defined, the normal pseudo-random port
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02002998 number generator is used.
2999
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02003000 Also, the environment variable tftpdstp is used to supply
3001 the TFTP UDP destination port value. If tftpdstp isn't
3002 defined, the normal port 69 is used.
3003
3004 The purpose for tftpsrcp is to allow a TFTP server to
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02003005 blindly start the TFTP transfer using the pre-configured
3006 target IP address and UDP port. This has the effect of
3007 "punching through" the (Windows XP) firewall, allowing
3008 the remainder of the TFTP transfer to proceed normally.
3009 A better solution is to properly configure the firewall,
3010 but sometimes that is not allowed.
3011
Simon Glassbf36c5d2012-12-05 14:46:38 +00003012- Hashing support:
3013 CONFIG_CMD_HASH
3014
3015 This enables a generic 'hash' command which can produce
3016 hashes / digests from a few algorithms (e.g. SHA1, SHA256).
3017
3018 CONFIG_HASH_VERIFY
3019
3020 Enable the hash verify command (hash -v). This adds to code
3021 size a little.
3022
3023 CONFIG_SHA1 - support SHA1 hashing
3024 CONFIG_SHA256 - support SHA256 hashing
3025
3026 Note: There is also a sha1sum command, which should perhaps
3027 be deprecated in favour of 'hash sha1'.
3028
Robert Winklera11f1872013-07-24 17:57:06 -07003029- Freescale i.MX specific commands:
3030 CONFIG_CMD_HDMIDETECT
3031 This enables 'hdmidet' command which returns true if an
3032 HDMI monitor is detected. This command is i.MX 6 specific.
3033
3034 CONFIG_CMD_BMODE
3035 This enables the 'bmode' (bootmode) command for forcing
3036 a boot from specific media.
3037
3038 This is useful for forcing the ROM's usb downloader to
3039 activate upon a watchdog reset which is nice when iterating
3040 on U-Boot. Using the reset button or running bmode normal
3041 will set it back to normal. This command currently
3042 supports i.MX53 and i.MX6.
3043
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003044- Signing support:
3045 CONFIG_RSA
3046
3047 This enables the RSA algorithm used for FIT image verification
Detlev Zundel8bf2aad2014-01-20 16:21:46 +01003048 in U-Boot. See doc/uImage.FIT/signature.txt for more information.
Simon Glass19c402a2013-06-13 15:10:02 -07003049
3050 The signing part is build into mkimage regardless of this
3051 option.
3052
Heiko Schocher9e50c402014-01-25 07:27:13 +01003053- bootcount support:
3054 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_LIMIT
3055
3056 This enables the bootcounter support, see:
3057 http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/UBootBootCountLimit
3058
3059 CONFIG_AT91SAM9XE
3060 enable special bootcounter support on at91sam9xe based boards.
3061 CONFIG_BLACKFIN
3062 enable special bootcounter support on blackfin based boards.
3063 CONFIG_SOC_DA8XX
3064 enable special bootcounter support on da850 based boards.
3065 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_RAM
3066 enable support for the bootcounter in RAM
3067 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_I2C
3068 enable support for the bootcounter on an i2c (like RTC) device.
3069 CONFIG_SYS_I2C_RTC_ADDR = i2c chip address
3070 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTCOUNT_ADDR = i2c addr which is used for
3071 the bootcounter.
3072 CONFIG_BOOTCOUNT_ALEN = address len

wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003074- Show boot progress:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003075 CONFIG_SHOW_BOOT_PROGRESS
3076
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003077 Defining this option allows to add some board-
3078 specific code (calling a user-provided function
3079 "show_boot_progress(int)") that enables you to show
3080 the system's boot progress on some display (for
3081 example, some LED's) on your board. At the moment,
3082 the following checkpoints are implemented:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003083
Simon Glass3a608ca2012-02-13 13:51:19 +00003084- Detailed boot stage timing
3085 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE
3086 Define this option to get detailed timing of each stage
3087 of the boot process.
3088
3089 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_USER_COUNT
3090 This is the number of available user bootstage records.
3091 Each time you call bootstage_mark(BOOTSTAGE_ID_ALLOC, ...)
3092 a new ID will be allocated from this stash. If you exceed
3093 the limit, recording will stop.
3094
3095 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_REPORT
3096 Define this to print a report before boot, similar to this:
3097
3098 Timer summary in microseconds:
3099 Mark Elapsed Stage
3100 0 0 reset
3101 3,575,678 3,575,678 board_init_f start
3102 3,575,695 17 arch_cpu_init A9
3103 3,575,777 82 arch_cpu_init done
3104 3,659,598 83,821 board_init_r start
3105 3,910,375 250,777 main_loop
3106 29,916,167 26,005,792 bootm_start
3107 30,361,327 445,160 start_kernel
3108
Simon Glass2eba38c2012-09-28 08:56:39 +00003109 CONFIG_CMD_BOOTSTAGE
3110 Add a 'bootstage' command which supports printing a report
3111 and un/stashing of bootstage data.
3112
Simon Glass94fd1312012-09-28 08:56:37 +00003113 CONFIG_BOOTSTAGE_FDT
3114 Stash the bootstage information in the FDT. A root 'bootstage'
3115 node is created with each bootstage id as a child. Each child
3116 has a 'name' property and either 'mark' containing the
3117 mark time in microsecond, or 'accum' containing the
3118 accumulated time for that bootstage id in microseconds.
3119 For example:
3120
3121 bootstage {
3122 154 {
3123 name = "board_init_f";
3124 mark = <3575678>;
3125 };
3126 170 {
3127 name = "lcd";
3128 accum = <33482>;
3129 };
3130 };
3131
3132 Code in the Linux kernel can find this in /proc/devicetree.

Wolfgang Denk6feff892011-10-09 21:06:34 +02003329 This option defines a board specific value for the
3330 address where standalone program gets loaded, thus
3331 overwriting the architecture dependent default

3339 when using a graphics controller has separate video
3340 memory. U-Boot will then place the frame buffer at
3341 the given address instead of dynamically reserving it
3342 in system RAM by calling lcd_setmem(), which grabs
3343 the memory for the frame buffer depending on the
3344 configured panel size.

Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003370- UBI support
3371 CONFIG_CMD_UBI
3372
3373 Adds commands for interacting with MTD partitions formatted
3374 with the UBI flash translation layer
3375
3376 Requires also defining CONFIG_RBTREE
3377
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003378 CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
3379
3380 Make the verbose messages from UBI stop printing. This leaves
3381 warnings and errors enabled.
3382
Heiko Schocherff94bc42014-06-24 10:10:04 +02003383
3384 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD
3385 This parameter defines the maximum difference between the highest
3386 erase counter value and the lowest erase counter value of eraseblocks
3387 of UBI devices. When this threshold is exceeded, UBI starts performing
3388 wear leveling by means of moving data from eraseblock with low erase
3389 counter to eraseblocks with high erase counter.
3390
3391 The default value should be OK for SLC NAND flashes, NOR flashes and
3392 other flashes which have eraseblock life-cycle 100000 or more.
3393 However, in case of MLC NAND flashes which typically have eraseblock
3394 life-cycle less than 10000, the threshold should be lessened (e.g.,
3395 to 128 or 256, although it does not have to be power of 2).
3396
3397 default: 4096
3398
3399 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT
3400 This option specifies the maximum bad physical eraseblocks UBI
3401 expects on the MTD device (per 1024 eraseblocks). If the
3402 underlying flash does not admit of bad eraseblocks (e.g. NOR
3403 flash), this value is ignored.
3404
3405 NAND datasheets often specify the minimum and maximum NVM
3406 (Number of Valid Blocks) for the flashes' endurance lifetime.
3407 The maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 eraseblocks
3408 then can be calculated as "1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)",
3409 which gives 20 for most NANDs (MaxNVB is basically the total
3410 count of eraseblocks on the chip).
3411
3412 To put it differently, if this value is 20, UBI will try to
3413 reserve about 1.9% of physical eraseblocks for bad blocks
3414 handling. And that will be 1.9% of eraseblocks on the entire
3415 NAND chip, not just the MTD partition UBI attaches. This means
3416 that if you have, say, a NAND flash chip admits maximum 40 bad
3417 eraseblocks, and it is split on two MTD partitions of the same
3418 size, UBI will reserve 40 eraseblocks when attaching a
3419 partition.
3420
3421 default: 20
3422
3423 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP
3424 Fastmap is a mechanism which allows attaching an UBI device
3425 in nearly constant time. Instead of scanning the whole MTD device it
3426 only has to locate a checkpoint (called fastmap) on the device.
3427 The on-flash fastmap contains all information needed to attach
3428 the device. Using fastmap makes only sense on large devices where
3429 attaching by scanning takes long. UBI will not automatically install
3430 a fastmap on old images, but you can set the UBI parameter
3431 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT to 1 if you want so. Please note
3432 that fastmap-enabled images are still usable with UBI implementations
3433 without fastmap support. On typical flash devices the whole fastmap
3434 fits into one PEB. UBI will reserve PEBs to hold two fastmaps.
3435
3436 CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP_AUTOCONVERT
3437 Set this parameter to enable fastmap automatically on images
3438 without a fastmap.
3439 default: 0
3440
Joe Hershberger70c219c2013-04-08 10:32:48 +00003441- UBIFS support
3442 CONFIG_CMD_UBIFS
3443
3444 Adds commands for interacting with UBI volumes formatted as
3445 UBIFS. UBIFS is read-only in u-boot.
3446
3447 Requires UBI support as well as CONFIG_LZO
3448
Joe Hershberger147162d2013-04-08 10:32:49 +00003449 CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG

Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003655 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO
Benoît Thébaudeau6113d3f2013-04-11 09:35:49 +00003656 Image offset to which the SPL should be padded before appending
3657 the SPL payload. By default, this is defined as
3658 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3659 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3660 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.
Scott Wood74752ba2012-12-06 13:33:16 +00003661
Scott Woodca2fca22012-09-21 16:27:32 -05003662 CONFIG_SPL_TARGET
3663 Final target image containing SPL and payload. Some SPLs
3664 use an arch-specific makefile fragment instead, for
3665 example if more than one image needs to be produced.
3666
Simon Glass87ebee32013-05-08 08:05:59 +00003667 CONFIG_FIT_SPL_PRINT
3668 Printing information about a FIT image adds quite a bit of
3669 code to SPL. So this is normally disabled in SPL. Use this
3670 option to re-enable it. This will affect the output of the
3671 bootm command when booting a FIT image.
3672
Ying Zhang3aa29de2013-08-16 15:16:15 +08003673- TPL framework

3676
3677 CONFIG_TPL_PAD_TO
3678 Image offset to which the TPL should be padded before appending
3679 the TPL payload. By default, this is defined as
Wolfgang Denk93e14592013-10-04 17:43:24 +02003680 CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE, or 0 if CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE is undefined.
3681 CONFIG_SPL_PAD_TO must be either 0, meaning to append the SPL
3682 payload without any padding, or >= CONFIG_SPL_MAX_SIZE.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003684Modem Support:
3685--------------
3686
Wolfgang Denk566e5cf2011-05-01 20:44:23 +02003687[so far only for SMDK2400 boards]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003688
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003689- Modem support enable:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003690 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT
3691
3692- RTS/CTS Flow control enable:
3693 CONFIG_HWFLOW
3694
3695- Modem debug support:
3696 CONFIG_MODEM_SUPPORT_DEBUG
3697
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003698 Enables debugging stuff (char screen[1024], dbg())
3699 for modem support. Useful only with BDI2000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003700
wdenka8c7c702003-12-06 19:49:23 +00003701- Interrupt support (PPC):
3702
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003703 There are common interrupt_init() and timer_interrupt()
3704 for all PPC archs. interrupt_init() calls interrupt_init_cpu()
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003705 for CPU specific initialization. interrupt_init_cpu()
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003706 should set decrementer_count to appropriate value. If
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003707 CPU resets decrementer automatically after interrupt
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003708 (ppc4xx) it should set decrementer_count to zero.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003709 timer_interrupt() calls timer_interrupt_cpu() for CPU
wdenkd4ca31c2004-01-02 14:00:00 +00003710 specific handling. If board has watchdog / status_led
3711 / other_activity_monitor it works automatically from
3712 general timer_interrupt().

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003714- General:
3715
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003716 In the target system modem support is enabled when a
3717 specific key (key combination) is pressed during
3718 power-on. Otherwise U-Boot will boot normally
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003719 (autoboot). The key_pressed() function is called from
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003720 board_init(). Currently key_pressed() is a dummy
3721 function, returning 1 and thus enabling modem
3722 initialization.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003723
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00003724 If there are no modem init strings in the
3725 environment, U-Boot proceed to autoboot; the
3726 previous output (banner, info printfs) will be
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003727 suppressed, though.

3732------------------------------
3733
3734During Initialization u-boot calls a number of board specific functions
3735to allow the preparation of board specific prerequisites, e.g. pin setup
3736before drivers are initialized. To enable these callbacks the
3737following configuration macros have to be defined. Currently this is
3738architecture specific, so please check arch/your_architecture/lib/board.c
3739typically in board_init_f() and board_init_r().

wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003778 If the board specific function
3779 extern int overwrite_console (void);
3780 returns 1, the stdin, stderr and stdout are switched to the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003781 serial port, else the settings in the environment are used.
3782
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003783- CONFIG_SYS_CONSOLE_OVERWRITE_ROUTINE
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003784 Enable the call to overwrite_console().

3788
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003789- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_START, CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_END:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003790 Begin and End addresses of the area used by the
3791 simple memory test.
3792
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003793- CONFIG_SYS_ALT_MEMTEST:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003794 Enable an alternate, more extensive memory test.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003795
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003796- CONFIG_SYS_MEMTEST_SCRATCH:
wdenk5f535fe2003-09-18 09:21:33 +00003797 Scratch address used by the alternate memory test
3798 You only need to set this if address zero isn't writeable
3799
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003800- CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE (PPC only):
3801 If CONFIG_SYS_MEM_TOP_HIDE is defined in the board config header,
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003802 this specified memory area will get subtracted from the top
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003803 (end) of RAM and won't get "touched" at all by U-Boot. By
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003804 fixing up gd->ram_size the Linux kernel should gets passed
3805 the now "corrected" memory size and won't touch it either.
3806 This should work for arch/ppc and arch/powerpc. Only Linux
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003807 board ports in arch/powerpc with bootwrapper support that
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003808 recalculate the memory size from the SDRAM controller setup
Stefan Roese5e12e752008-03-28 11:02:53 +01003809 will have to get fixed in Linux additionally.
Stefan Roese14f73ca2008-03-26 10:14:11 +01003810
3811 This option can be used as a workaround for the 440EPx/GRx
3812 CHIP 11 errata where the last 256 bytes in SDRAM shouldn't
3813 be touched.
3814
3815 WARNING: Please make sure that this value is a multiple of
3816 the Linux page size (normally 4k). If this is not the case,
3817 then the end address of the Linux memory will be located at a
3818 non page size aligned address and this could cause major
3819 problems.
3820
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003821- CONFIG_SYS_LOADS_BAUD_CHANGE:

3829 Cogent motherboard)
3830
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003831- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003832 Physical start address of Flash memory.
3833
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003834- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_BASE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003835 Physical start address of boot monitor code (set by
3836 make config files to be same as the text base address
Wolfgang Denk14d0a022010-10-07 21:51:12 +02003837 (CONFIG_SYS_TEXT_BASE) used when linking) - same as
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003838 CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE when booting from flash.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003839
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003840- CONFIG_SYS_MONITOR_LEN:
wdenk8bde7f72003-06-27 21:31:46 +00003841 Size of memory reserved for monitor code, used to
3842 determine _at_compile_time_ (!) if the environment is
3843 embedded within the U-Boot image, or in a separate
3844 flash sector.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003845
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003846- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003847 Size of DRAM reserved for malloc() use.
3848
Simon Glassd59476b2014-07-10 22:23:28 -06003849- CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_F_LEN
3850 Size of the malloc() pool for use before relocation. If
3851 this is defined, then a very simple malloc() implementation
3852 will become available before relocation. The address is just
3853 below the global data, and the stack is moved down to make
3854 space.
3855
3856 This feature allocates regions with increasing addresses
3857 within the region. calloc() is supported, but realloc()
3858 is not available. free() is supported but does nothing.
3859 The memory will be freed (or in fact just forgotton) when
3860 U-Boot relocates itself.
3861
Simon Glasse7b14e92014-09-15 06:33:18 -06003862 Pre-relocation malloc() is only supported on ARM and sandbox
Simon Glass29afe9e2014-07-10 22:23:31 -06003863 at present but is fairly easy to enable for other archs.
3864
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003865- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN:
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003866 Normally compressed uImages are limited to an
3867 uncompressed size of 8 MBytes. If this is not enough,
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003868 you can define CONFIG_SYS_BOOTM_LEN in your board config file
Stefan Roese15940c92006-03-13 11:16:36 +01003869 to adjust this setting to your needs.
3870
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003871- CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003872 Maximum size of memory mapped by the startup code of
3873 the Linux kernel; all data that must be processed by

3875 used) must be put below this limit, unless "bootm_low"
Robert P. J. Day1bce2ae2013-09-16 07:15:45 -04003876 environment variable is defined and non-zero. In such case
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02003877 all data for the Linux kernel must be between "bootm_low"
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00003878 and "bootm_low" + CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. The environment
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00003879 variable "bootm_mapsize" will override the value of
3880 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ. If CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is undefined,
3881 then the value in "bootm_size" will be used instead.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003882
John Rigbyfca43cc2010-10-13 13:57:35 -06003883- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_RAMDISK_HIGH:
3884 Enable initrd_high functionality. If defined then the
3885 initrd_high feature is enabled and the bootm ramdisk subcommand
3886 is enabled.
3887
3888- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_CMDLINE:
3889 Enables allocating and saving kernel cmdline in space between
3890 "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.
3891
3892- CONFIG_SYS_BOOT_GET_KBD:
3893 Enables allocating and saving a kernel copy of the bd_info in
3894 space between "bootm_low" and "bootm_low" + BOOTMAPSZ.

wdenk8564acf2003-07-14 22:13:32 +00003915 If defined, hardware flash sectors protection is used
3916 instead of U-Boot software protection.
3917
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003918- CONFIG_SYS_DIRECT_FLASH_TFTP:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003919
3920 Enable TFTP transfers directly to flash memory;
3921 without this option such a download has to be
3922 performed in two steps: (1) download to RAM, and (2)
3923 copy from RAM to flash.
3924
3925 The two-step approach is usually more reliable, since
3926 you can check if the download worked before you erase
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003927 the flash, but in some situations (when system RAM is
3928 too limited to allow for a temporary copy of the
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00003929 downloaded image) this option may be very useful.
3930
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003931- CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_CFI:

Stefan Roese5568e612005-11-22 13:20:42 +01003952 If this option is defined, the common CFI flash doesn't
3953 print it's warning upon not recognized FLASH banks. This
3954 is useful, if some of the configured banks are only
3955 optionally available.
3956
Jerry Van Baren9a042e92008-03-08 13:48:01 -05003957- CONFIG_FLASH_SHOW_PROGRESS
3958 If defined (must be an integer), print out countdown
3959 digits and dots. Recommended value: 45 (9..1) for 80
3960 column displays, 15 (3..1) for 40 column displays.
3961
Stefan Roese352ef3f2013-04-04 15:53:14 +02003962- CONFIG_FLASH_VERIFY
3963 If defined, the content of the flash (destination) is compared
3964 against the source after the write operation. An error message
3965 will be printed when the contents are not identical.
3966 Please note that this option is useless in nearly all cases,
3967 since such flash programming errors usually are detected earlier
3968 while unprotecting/erasing/programming. Please only enable
3969 this option if you really know what you are doing.
3970
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02003971- CONFIG_SYS_RX_ETH_BUFFER:
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003972 Defines the number of Ethernet receive buffers. On some
3973 Ethernet controllers it is recommended to set this value
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003974 to 8 or even higher (EEPRO100 or 405 EMAC), since all
3975 buffers can be full shortly after enabling the interface
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02003976 on high Ethernet traffic.
stroese53cf9432003-06-05 15:39:44 +00003977 Defaults to 4 if not defined.

Joe Hershberger25980902012-12-11 22:16:31 -06003990 calling env set. Variables can be restricted to only decimal,
3991 hexadecimal, or boolean. If CONFIG_CMD_NET is also defined,
3992 the variables can also be restricted to IP address or MAC address.
3993
3994 The format of the list is:
3995 type_attribute = [s|d|x|b|i|m]

Simon Glass5c1a7ea2013-03-08 13:45:27 +00004030- CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD
4031 This selects the architecture-generic board system instead of the
4032 architecture-specific board files. It is intended to move boards
4033 to this new framework over time. Defining this will disable the
4034 arch/foo/lib/board.c file and use common/board_f.c and
4035 common/board_r.c instead. To use this option your architecture
4036 must support it (i.e. must define __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD in
4037 its config.mk file). If you find problems enabling this option on
4038 your board please report the problem and send patches!

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004045The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
4046of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
4047following configurations:
4048
Mike Frysingerc3eb3fe2011-07-08 10:44:25 +00004049- CONFIG_BUILD_ENVCRC:
4050
4051 Builds up envcrc with the target environment so that external utils
4052 may easily extract it and embed it in final U-Boot images.
4053
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004054- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004055
4056 Define this if the environment is in flash memory.
4057
4058 a) The environment occupies one whole flash sector, which is
4059 "embedded" in the text segment with the U-Boot code. This
4060 happens usually with "bottom boot sector" or "top boot
4061 sector" type flash chips, which have several smaller
4062 sectors at the start or the end. For instance, such a
4063 layout can have sector sizes of 8, 2x4, 16, Nx32 kB. In
4064 such a case you would place the environment in one of the
4065 4 kB sectors - with U-Boot code before and after it. With
4066 "top boot sector" type flash chips, you would put the
4067 environment in one of the last sectors, leaving a gap
4068 between U-Boot and the environment.
4069
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004070 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004071
4072 Offset of environment data (variable area) to the
4073 beginning of flash memory; for instance, with bottom boot
4074 type flash chips the second sector can be used: the offset
4075 for this sector is given here.
4076
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004077 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET is used relative to CONFIG_SYS_FLASH_BASE.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004078
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004079 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004080
4081 This is just another way to specify the start address of
4082 the flash sector containing the environment (instead of
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004083 CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004084
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004085 - CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004086
4087 Size of the sector containing the environment.
4088
4089
4090 b) Sometimes flash chips have few, equal sized, BIG sectors.
4091 In such a case you don't want to spend a whole sector for
4092 the environment.
4093
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004094 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004095
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD5a1aceb2008-09-10 22:48:04 +02004096 If you use this in combination with CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FLASH
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004097 and CONFIG_ENV_SECT_SIZE, you can specify to use only a part
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004098 of this flash sector for the environment. This saves
4099 memory for the RAM copy of the environment.
4100
4101 It may also save flash memory if you decide to use this
4102 when your environment is "embedded" within U-Boot code,
4103 since then the remainder of the flash sector could be used
4104 for U-Boot code. It should be pointed out that this is
4105 STRONGLY DISCOURAGED from a robustness point of view:
4106 updating the environment in flash makes it always
4107 necessary to erase the WHOLE sector. If something goes
4108 wrong before the contents has been restored from a copy in
4109 RAM, your target system will be dead.
4110
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004111 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR_REDUND
4112 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004113
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004114 These settings describe a second storage area used to hold
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004115 a redundant copy of the environment data, so that there is
wdenk3e386912003-04-05 00:53:31 +00004116 a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure during
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004117 a "saveenv" operation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004118
4119BE CAREFUL! Any changes to the flash layout, and some changes to the
4120source code will make it necessary to adapt <board>/u-boot.lds*
4121accordingly!
4122
4123
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD9314cee2008-09-10 22:47:59 +02004124- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_NVRAM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004125
4126 Define this if you have some non-volatile memory device
4127 (NVRAM, battery buffered SRAM) which you want to use for the
4128 environment.
4129
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004130 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4131 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004132
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004133 These two #defines are used to determine the memory area you
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004134 want to use for environment. It is assumed that this memory
4135 can just be read and written to, without any special
4136 provision.
4137
4138BE CAREFUL! The first access to the environment happens quite early
4139in U-Boot initalization (when we try to get the setting of for the
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004140console baudrate). You *MUST* have mapped your NVRAM area then, or
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004141U-Boot will hang.
4142
4143Please note that even with NVRAM we still use a copy of the
4144environment in RAM: we could work on NVRAM directly, but we want to
4145keep settings there always unmodified except somebody uses "saveenv"
4146to save the current settings.
4147
4148
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDbb1f8b42008-09-05 09:19:30 +02004149- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_EEPROM:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004150
4151 Use this if you have an EEPROM or similar serial access
4152 device and a driver for it.
4153
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004154 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4155 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004156
4157 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4158 environment area within the total memory of your EEPROM.
4159
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004160 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004161 If defined, specified the chip address of the EEPROM device.
4162 The default address is zero.
4163
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004164 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_BITS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004165 If defined, the number of bits used to address bytes in a
4166 single page in the EEPROM device. A 64 byte page, for example
4167 would require six bits.
4168
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004169 - CONFIG_SYS_EEPROM_PAGE_WRITE_DELAY_MS:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004170 If defined, the number of milliseconds to delay between
wdenkba56f622004-02-06 23:19:44 +00004171 page writes. The default is zero milliseconds.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004172
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004173 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_LEN:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004174 The length in bytes of the EEPROM memory array address. Note
4175 that this is NOT the chip address length!
4176
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004177 - CONFIG_SYS_I2C_EEPROM_ADDR_OVERFLOW:
wdenk5cf91d62004-04-23 20:32:05 +00004178 EEPROM chips that implement "address overflow" are ones
4179 like Catalyst 24WC04/08/16 which has 9/10/11 bits of
4180 address and the extra bits end up in the "chip address" bit
4181 slots. This makes a 24WC08 (1Kbyte) chip look like four 256
4182 byte chips.
4183
4184 Note that we consider the length of the address field to
4185 still be one byte because the extra address bits are hidden
4186 in the chip address.

Heiko Schocher548738b2010-01-07 08:55:40 +01004191 - CONFIG_ENV_EEPROM_IS_ON_I2C
4192 define this, if you have I2C and SPI activated, and your
4193 EEPROM, which holds the environment, is on the I2C bus.
4194
4195 - CONFIG_I2C_ENV_EEPROM_BUS
4196 if you have an Environment on an EEPROM reached over
4197 I2C muxes, you can define here, how to reach this
4198 EEPROM. For example:

4221 want to use for the environment.
4222
4223 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4224 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4225
4226 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the
4227 environment area within the SPI Flash. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be
4228 aligned to an erase sector boundary.

4234 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4235
4236 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
4237 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4238 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
4239 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be

4249 Define the SPI max work clock. If not defined then use 1MHz.
4250
4251 - CONFIG_ENV_SPI_MODE (optional):
4252
4253 Define the SPI work mode. If not defined then use SPI_MODE_3.

4256
4257 Define this if you have a remote memory space which you
4258 want to use for the local device's environment.
4259
4260 - CONFIG_ENV_ADDR:
4261 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4262
4263 These two #defines specify the address and size of the
4264 environment area within the remote memory space. The
4265 local device can get the environment from remote memory
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004266 space by SRIO or PCIE links.

4268BE CAREFUL! For some special cases, the local device can not use
4269"saveenv" command. For example, the local device will get the
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004270environment stored in a remote NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE link,
4271but it can not erase, write this NOR flash by SRIO or PCIE interface.

4279 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
wdenk13a56952004-06-09 14:58:14 +00004280
4281 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004282 area within the first NAND device. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET must be

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD0e8d1582008-09-10 22:48:06 +02004287 This setting describes a second storage area of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE
Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004288 size used to hold a redundant copy of the environment data, so
4289 that there is a valid backup copy in case there is a power failure
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004290 during a "saveenv" operation. CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_RENDUND must be

Scott Woodfdd813d2010-09-17 14:38:37 -05004293 - CONFIG_ENV_RANGE (optional):
4294
4295 Specifies the length of the region in which the environment
4296 can be written. This should be a multiple of the NAND device's
4297 block size. Specifying a range with more erase blocks than
4298 are needed to hold CONFIG_ENV_SIZE allows bad blocks within
4299 the range to be avoided.
4300
4301 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB (optional):
4302
4303 Enables support for dynamically retrieving the offset of the
4304 environment from block zero's out-of-band data. The
4305 "nand env.oob" command can be used to record this offset.
4306 Currently, CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is not supported when
4307 using CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_OOB.

Guennadi Liakhovetskib74ab732009-05-18 16:07:22 +02004309- CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST
4310
4311 Defines address in RAM to which the nand_spl code should copy the
4312 environment. If redundant environment is used, it will be copied to
4313 CONFIG_NAND_ENV_DST + CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4314
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004315- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_UBI:
4316
4317 Define this if you have an UBI volume that you want to use for the
4318 environment. This has the benefit of wear-leveling the environment
4319 accesses, which is important on NAND.
4320
4321 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_PART:
4322
4323 Define this to a string that is the mtd partition containing the UBI.
4324
4325 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME:
4326
4327 Define this to the name of the volume that you want to store the
4328 environment in.
4329
Joe Hershberger785881f2013-04-08 10:32:52 +00004330 - CONFIG_ENV_UBI_VOLUME_REDUND:
4331
4332 Define this to the name of another volume to store a second copy of
4333 the environment in. This will enable redundant environments in UBI.
4334 It is assumed that both volumes are in the same MTD partition.
4335
Joe Hershberger2b744332013-04-08 10:32:51 +00004336 - CONFIG_UBI_SILENCE_MSG
4337 - CONFIG_UBIFS_SILENCE_MSG
4338
4339 You will probably want to define these to avoid a really noisy system
4340 when storing the env in UBI.
4341
Wu, Joshd1db76f2014-06-24 17:31:03 +08004342- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_FAT:
4343 Define this if you want to use the FAT file system for the environment.
4344
4345 - FAT_ENV_INTERFACE:
4346
4347 Define this to a string that is the name of the block device.
4348
4349 - FAT_ENV_DEV_AND_PART:
4350
4351 Define this to a string to specify the partition of the device. It can
4352 be as following:
4353
4354 "D:P", "D:0", "D", "D:" or "D:auto" (D, P are integers. And P >= 1)
4355 - "D:P": device D partition P. Error occurs if device D has no
4356 partition table.
4357 - "D:0": device D.
4358 - "D" or "D:": device D partition 1 if device D has partition
4359 table, or the whole device D if has no partition
4360 table.
4361 - "D:auto": first partition in device D with bootable flag set.
4362 If none, first valid paratition in device D. If no
4363 partition table then means device D.
4364
4365 - FAT_ENV_FILE:
4366
4367 It's a string of the FAT file name. This file use to store the
4368 envrionment.
4369
4370 - CONFIG_FAT_WRITE:
4371 This should be defined. Otherwise it cannot save the envrionment file.
4372
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004373- CONFIG_ENV_IS_IN_MMC:
4374
4375 Define this if you have an MMC device which you want to use for the
4376 environment.
4377
4378 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_DEV:
4379
4380 Specifies which MMC device the environment is stored in.
4381
4382 - CONFIG_SYS_MMC_ENV_PART (optional):
4383
4384 Specifies which MMC partition the environment is stored in. If not
4385 set, defaults to partition 0, the user area. Common values might be
4386 1 (first MMC boot partition), 2 (second MMC boot partition).
4387
4388 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET:
4389 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE:
4390
4391 These two #defines specify the offset and size of the environment
4392 area within the specified MMC device.
4393
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004394 If offset is positive (the usual case), it is treated as relative to
4395 the start of the MMC partition. If offset is negative, it is treated
4396 as relative to the end of the MMC partition. This can be useful if
4397 your board may be fitted with different MMC devices, which have
4398 different sizes for the MMC partitions, and you always want the
4399 environment placed at the very end of the partition, to leave the
4400 maximum possible space before it, to store other data.
4401
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004402 These two values are in units of bytes, but must be aligned to an
4403 MMC sector boundary.
4404
4405 - CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND (optional):
4406
4407 Specifies a second storage area, of CONFIG_ENV_SIZE size, used to
4408 hold a redundant copy of the environment data. This provides a
4409 valid backup copy in case the other copy is corrupted, e.g. due
4410 to a power failure during a "saveenv" operation.
4411
Stephen Warren5c088ee2013-06-11 15:14:02 -06004412 This value may also be positive or negative; this is handled in the
4413 same way as CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET.
4414
Stephen Warren06e4ae52013-06-11 15:14:00 -06004415 This value is also in units of bytes, but must also be aligned to
4416 an MMC sector boundary.
4417
4418 - CONFIG_ENV_SIZE_REDUND (optional):
4419
4420 This value need not be set, even when CONFIG_ENV_OFFSET_REDUND is
4421 set. If this value is set, it must be set to the same value as
4422 CONFIG_ENV_SIZE.
4423
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004424- CONFIG_SYS_SPI_INIT_OFFSET
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004425
4426 Defines offset to the initial SPI buffer area in DPRAM. The
4427 area is used at an early stage (ROM part) if the environment
4428 is configured to reside in the SPI EEPROM: We need a 520 byte
4429 scratch DPRAM area. It is used between the two initialization
4430 calls (spi_init_f() and spi_init_r()). A value of 0xB00 seems
4431 to be a good choice since it makes it far enough from the
4432 start of the data area as well as from the stack pointer.
4433
Bruce Adlere881cb52007-11-02 13:15:42 -07004434Please note that the environment is read-only until the monitor
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004435has been relocated to RAM and a RAM copy of the environment has been
Wolfgang Denkcdb74972010-07-24 21:55:43 +02004436created; also, when using EEPROM you will have to use getenv_f()
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004437until then to read environment variables.
4438
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004439The environment is protected by a CRC32 checksum. Before the monitor
4440is relocated into RAM, as a result of a bad CRC you will be working
4441with the compiled-in default environment - *silently*!!! [This is
4442necessary, because the first environment variable we need is the
4443"baudrate" setting for the console - if we have a bad CRC, we don't
4444have any device yet where we could complain.]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004445
4446Note: once the monitor has been relocated, then it will complain if
4447the default environment is used; a new CRC is computed as soon as you
wdenk85ec0bc2003-03-31 16:34:49 +00004448use the "saveenv" command to store a valid environment.

wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004452
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004453 Note: If this option is active, then CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR
wdenkfc3e2162003-10-08 22:33:00 +00004454 also needs to be defined.
4455
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004456- CONFIG_SYS_FAULT_MII_ADDR:
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004457 MII address of the PHY to check for the Ethernet link state.

Ron Madridf5675aa2009-02-18 14:30:44 -08004459- CONFIG_NS16550_MIN_FUNCTIONS:
4460 Define this if you desire to only have use of the NS16550_init
4461 and NS16550_putc functions for the serial driver located at
4462 drivers/serial/ns16550.c. This option is useful for saving
4463 space for already greatly restricted images, including but not
4464 limited to NAND_SPL configurations.
4465
Simon Glassb2b92f52012-11-30 13:01:18 +00004466- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO
4467 Display information about the board that U-Boot is running on
4468 when U-Boot starts up. The board function checkboard() is called
4469 to do this.
4470
Simon Glasse2e3e2b2012-11-30 13:01:19 +00004471- CONFIG_DISPLAY_BOARDINFO_LATE
4472 Similar to the previous option, but display this information
4473 later, once stdio is running and output goes to the LCD, if
4474 present.
4475
Sascha Silbefeb85802013-08-11 16:40:43 +02004476- CONFIG_BOARD_SIZE_LIMIT:
4477 Maximum size of the U-Boot image. When defined, the
4478 build system checks that the actual size does not
4479 exceed it.

wdenk2535d602003-07-17 23:16:40 +00004489
wdenk42d1f032003-10-15 23:53:47 +00004490 Needed on some 8260 systems (MPC8260ADS, PQ2FADS-ZU,
4491 and RPXsuper) to be able to adjust the position of
4492 the IMMR register after a reset.

Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004494- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT:
4495 Default (power-on reset) physical address of CCSR on Freescale
4496 PowerPC SOCs.
4497
4498- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR:
4499 Virtual address of CCSR. On a 32-bit build, this is typically
4500 the same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT.
4501
4502 CONFIG_SYS_DEFAULT_IMMR must also be set to this value,
4503 for cross-platform code that uses that macro instead.
4504
4505- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS:
4506 Physical address of CCSR. CCSR can be relocated to a new
4507 physical address, if desired. In this case, this macro should
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00004508 be set to that address. Otherwise, it should be set to the
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004509 same value as CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_DEFAULT. For example, CCSR
4510 is typically relocated on 36-bit builds. It is recommended
4511 that this macro be defined via the _HIGH and _LOW macros:
4512
4513 #define CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS ((CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH
4514 * 1ull) << 32 | CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW)
4515
4516- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_HIGH:
Wolfgang Denk4cf26092011-10-07 09:58:21 +02004517 Bits 33-36 of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This value is typically
4518 either 0 (32-bit build) or 0xF (36-bit build). This macro is
Timur Tabie46fedf2011-08-04 18:03:41 -05004519 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4520 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4521
4522- CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS_LOW:
4523 Lower 32-bits of CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS. This macro is
4524 used in assembly code, so it must not contain typecasts or
4525 integer size suffixes (e.g. "ULL").
4526
4527- CONFIG_SYS_CCSR_DO_NOT_RELOCATE:
4528 If this macro is defined, then CONFIG_SYS_CCSRBAR_PHYS will be
4529 forced to a value that ensures that CCSR is not relocated.

wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004543 defines the offset of register from address. It
4544 depends on which part of the data bus is connected to
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004545 the FDC chipset. (default value 0)
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +00004546
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004547 If CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_STRIDE CONFIG_SYS_ISA_IO_OFFSET and
4548 CONFIG_SYS_FDC_DRIVE_NUMBER are undefined, they take their
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004549 default value.
wdenk7f6c2cb2002-11-10 22:06:23 +00004550
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004551 if CONFIG_SYS_FDC_HW_INIT is defined, then the function
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00004552 fdc_hw_init() is called at the beginning of the FDC
4553 setup. fdc_hw_init() must be provided by the board
4554 source code. It is used to make hardware dependant
4555 initializations.

Macpaul Lin0abddf82011-04-11 20:45:32 +00004557- CONFIG_IDE_AHB:
4558 Most IDE controllers were designed to be connected with PCI
4559 interface. Only few of them were designed for AHB interface.
4560 When software is doing ATA command and data transfer to
4561 IDE devices through IDE-AHB controller, some additional
4562 registers accessing to these kind of IDE-AHB controller
4563 is requierd.

wdenk7152b1d2003-09-05 23:19:14 +00004571 Start address of memory area that can be used for
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004572 initial data and stack; please note that this must be
4573 writable memory that is working WITHOUT special
4574 initialization, i. e. you CANNOT use normal RAM which
4575 will become available only after programming the
4576 memory controller and running certain initialization
4577 sequences.

Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004587 area defined by CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR. Usually
4588 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET is chosen such that the initial
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004589 data is located at the end of the available space
Wolfgang Denk553f0982010-10-26 13:32:32 +02004590 (sometimes written as (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_SIZE -
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004591 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_DATA_SIZE), and the initial stack is just
4592 below that area (growing from (CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR +
4593 CONFIG_SYS_GBL_DATA_OFFSET) downward.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004594
4595 Note:
4596 On the MPC824X (or other systems that use the data
4597 cache for initial memory) the address chosen for
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02004598 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR is basically arbitrary - it must
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004599 point to an otherwise UNUSED address space between
4600 the top of RAM and the start of the PCI space.

4808 Modifies the behaviour of start.S when compiling a loader
4809 that is executed after the SPL and before the actual U-Boot.
4810 It is loaded by the SPL.
4811
Ying Zhang5df572f2013-05-20 14:07:23 +08004812- CONFIG_SYS_MPC85XX_NO_RESETVEC
4813 Only for 85xx systems. If this variable is specified, the section
4814 .resetvec is not kept and the section .bootpg is placed in the
4815 previous 4k of the .text section.
4816
Simon Glass4213fc22013-02-24 17:33:14 +00004817- CONFIG_ARCH_MAP_SYSMEM
4818 Generally U-Boot (and in particular the md command) uses
4819 effective address. It is therefore not necessary to regard
4820 U-Boot address as virtual addresses that need to be translated
4821 to physical addresses. However, sandbox requires this, since
4822 it maintains its own little RAM buffer which contains all
4823 addressable memory. This option causes some memory accesses
4824 to be mapped through map_sysmem() / unmap_sysmem().
4825
Matthias Weisserd8834a12011-03-10 21:36:32 +00004826- CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMCPY
4827 CONFIG_USE_ARCH_MEMSET
4828 If these options are used a optimized version of memcpy/memset will
4829 be used if available. These functions may be faster under some
4830 conditions but may increase the binary size.
4831
Simon Glass588a13f2013-02-14 04:18:54 +00004832- CONFIG_X86_RESET_VECTOR
4833 If defined, the x86 reset vector code is included. This is not
4834 needed when U-Boot is running from Coreboot.

4850-----------------------------------
4851
4852The Freescale QUICCEngine (QE) and Frame Manager (FMAN) both support the
4853loading of "firmware", which is encoded in the QE firmware binary format.
4854This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4855are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4856within that device.
4857
Zhao Qiangdcf1d772014-03-21 16:21:44 +08004858- CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR
4859 The address in the storage device where the FMAN microcode is located. The
4860 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4861 is also specified.
4862
4863- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_ADDR
4864 The address in the storage device where the QE microcode is located. The
Timur Tabif2717b42011-11-22 09:21:25 -06004865 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_QE_FW_IN_xxx macro
4866 is also specified.
4867
4868- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_LENGTH
4869 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4870 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4871 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4872 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4873
4874- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NOR
4875 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4876 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the
4877 virtual address in NOR flash.
4878
4879- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_NAND
4880 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in NAND flash.
4881 CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the offset within NAND flash.
4882
4883- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_MMC
4884 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SD/MMC
4885 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.
4886
4887- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_SPIFLASH
4888 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located on the primary SPI
4889 device. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is the byte offset on that device.

Liu Gang292dc6c2012-03-08 00:33:18 +00004891- CONFIG_SYS_QE_FMAN_FW_IN_REMOTE
4892 Specifies that QE/FMAN firmware is located in the remote (master)
4893 memory space. CONFIG_SYS_FMAN_FW_ADDR is a virtual address which
Liu Gangfc54c7f2012-08-09 05:10:01 +00004894 can be mapped from slave TLB->slave LAW->slave SRIO or PCIE outbound
4895 window->master inbound window->master LAW->the ucode address in

4899---------------------------------------------------------
4900The Freescale Layerscape Management Complex (MC) supports the loading of
4901"firmware".
4902This firmware often needs to be loaded during U-Boot booting, so macros
4903are used to identify the storage device (NOR flash, SPI, etc) and the address
4904within that device.

4906- CONFIG_FSL_MC_ENET
4907 Enable the MC driver for Layerscape SoCs.
4908
4909- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR
4910 The address in the storage device where the firmware is located. The
4911 meaning of this address depends on which CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_xxx macro
4912 is also specified.
4913
4914- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_LENGTH
4915 The maximum possible size of the firmware. The firmware binary format
4916 has a field that specifies the actual size of the firmware, but it
4917 might not be possible to read any part of the firmware unless some
4918 local storage is allocated to hold the entire firmware first.
4919
4920- CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_IN_NOR
4921 Specifies that MC firmware is located in NOR flash, mapped as
4922 normal addressable memory via the LBC. CONFIG_SYS_LS_MC_FW_ADDR is the
4923 virtual address in NOR flash.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004925Building the Software:
4926======================
4927
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004928Building U-Boot has been tested in several native build environments
4929and in many different cross environments. Of course we cannot support
4930all possibly existing versions of cross development tools in all
4931(potentially obsolete) versions. In case of tool chain problems we
4932recommend to use the ELDK (see http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDK)
4933which is extensively used to build and test U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004934
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004935If you are not using a native environment, it is assumed that you
4936have GNU cross compiling tools available in your path. In this case,
4937you must set the environment variable CROSS_COMPILE in your shell.
4938Note that no changes to the Makefile or any other source files are
4939necessary. For example using the ELDK on a 4xx CPU, please enter:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004940
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004941 $ CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_4xx-
4942 $ export CROSS_COMPILE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004943
Peter Tyser2f8d3962009-03-13 18:54:51 -05004944Note: If you wish to generate Windows versions of the utilities in
4945 the tools directory you can use the MinGW toolchain
4946 (http://www.mingw.org). Set your HOST tools to the MinGW
4947 toolchain and execute 'make tools'. For example:
4948
4949 $ make HOSTCC=i586-mingw32msvc-gcc HOSTSTRIP=i586-mingw32msvc-strip tools
4950
4951 Binaries such as tools/mkimage.exe will be created which can
4952 be executed on computers running Windows.
4953
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01004954U-Boot is intended to be simple to build. After installing the
4955sources you must configure U-Boot for one specific board type. This
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004956is done by typing:
4957
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004958 make NAME_defconfig
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004959
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004960where "NAME_defconfig" is the name of one of the existing configu-
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00004961rations; see boards.cfg for supported names.
wdenk54387ac2003-10-08 22:45:44 +00004962
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004963Note: for some board special configuration names may exist; check if
4964 additional information is available from the board vendor; for
4965 instance, the TQM823L systems are available without (standard)
4966 or with LCD support. You can select such additional "features"
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02004967 when choosing the configuration, i. e.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004968
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004969 make TQM823L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004970 - will configure for a plain TQM823L, i. e. no LCD support
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004971
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004972 make TQM823L_LCD_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004973 - will configure for a TQM823L with U-Boot console on LCD
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004974
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004975 etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004976
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004977
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004978Finally, type "make all", and you should get some working U-Boot
4979images ready for download to / installation on your system:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004980
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00004981- "u-boot.bin" is a raw binary image
4982- "u-boot" is an image in ELF binary format
4983- "u-boot.srec" is in Motorola S-Record format
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00004984
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004985By default the build is performed locally and the objects are saved
4986in the source directory. One of the two methods can be used to change
4987this behavior and build U-Boot to some external directory:
4988
49891. Add O= to the make command line invocations:
4990
4991 make O=/tmp/build distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004992 make O=/tmp/build NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02004993 make O=/tmp/build all
4994
49952. Set environment variable BUILD_DIR to point to the desired location:
4996
4997 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
4998 make distclean
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02004999 make NAME_defconfig
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005000 make all
5001
5002Note that the command line "O=" setting overrides the BUILD_DIR environment
5003variable.
5004
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005005
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005006Please be aware that the Makefiles assume you are using GNU make, so
5007for instance on NetBSD you might need to use "gmake" instead of
5008native "make".
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005009
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005010
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005011If the system board that you have is not listed, then you will need
5012to port U-Boot to your hardware platform. To do this, follow these
5013steps:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005014
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050151. Add a new configuration option for your board to the toplevel
Michael Jones4d675ae2012-03-15 22:48:10 +00005016 "boards.cfg" file, using the existing entries as examples.
5017 Follow the instructions there to keep the boards in order.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050182. Create a new directory to hold your board specific code. Add any
5019 files you need. In your board directory, you will need at least
5020 the "Makefile", a "<board>.c", "flash.c" and "u-boot.lds".
50213. Create a new configuration file "include/configs/<board>.h" for
5022 your board
50233. If you're porting U-Boot to a new CPU, then also create a new
5024 directory to hold your CPU specific code. Add any files you need.
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +020050254. Run "make <board>_defconfig" with your new name.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +000050265. Type "make", and you should get a working "u-boot.srec" file
5027 to be installed on your target system.
50286. Debug and solve any problems that might arise.
5029 [Of course, this last step is much harder than it sounds.]

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005032Testing of U-Boot Modifications, Ports to New Hardware, etc.:
5033==============================================================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005034
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005035If you have modified U-Boot sources (for instance added a new board
5036or support for new devices, a new CPU, etc.) you are expected to
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005037provide feedback to the other developers. The feedback normally takes
5038the form of a "patch", i. e. a context diff against a certain (latest
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005039official or latest in the git repository) version of U-Boot sources.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005040
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005041But before you submit such a patch, please verify that your modifi-
5042cation did not break existing code. At least make sure that *ALL* of
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005043the supported boards compile WITHOUT ANY compiler warnings. To do so,
5044just run the "MAKEALL" script, which will configure and build U-Boot
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005045for ALL supported system. Be warned, this will take a while. You can
5046select which (cross) compiler to use by passing a `CROSS_COMPILE'
5047environment variable to the script, i. e. to use the ELDK cross tools
5048you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005049
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005050 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005051
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005052or to build on a native PowerPC system you can type
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005053
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005054 CROSS_COMPILE=' ' MAKEALL
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005055
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005056When using the MAKEALL script, the default behaviour is to build
5057U-Boot in the source directory. This location can be changed by
5058setting the BUILD_DIR environment variable. Also, for each target
5059built, the MAKEALL script saves two log files (<target>.ERR and
5060<target>.MAKEALL) in the <source dir>/LOG directory. This default
5061location can be changed by setting the MAKEALL_LOGDIR environment
5062variable. For example:
Marian Balakowiczbaf31242006-09-07 17:25:40 +02005063
5064 export BUILD_DIR=/tmp/build
5065 export MAKEALL_LOGDIR=/tmp/log
5066 CROSS_COMPILE=ppc_8xx- MAKEALL
5067
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01005068With the above settings build objects are saved in the /tmp/build,
5069log files are saved in the /tmp/log and the source tree remains clean
5070during the whole build process.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005133Environment Variables:
5134======================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005135
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005136U-Boot supports user configuration using Environment Variables which
5137can be made persistent by saving to Flash memory.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005138
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005139Environment Variables are set using "setenv", printed using
5140"printenv", and saved to Flash using "saveenv". Using "setenv"
5141without a value can be used to delete a variable from the
5142environment. As long as you don't save the environment you are
5143working with an in-memory copy. In case the Flash area containing the
5144environment is erased by accident, a default environment is provided.

Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005146Some configuration options can be set using Environment Variables.
5147
5148List of environment variables (most likely not complete):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005149
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005150 baudrate - see CONFIG_BAUDRATE
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005151
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005152 bootdelay - see CONFIG_BOOTDELAY
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005153
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005154 bootcmd - see CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005155
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005156 bootargs - Boot arguments when booting an RTOS image
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005157
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005158 bootfile - Name of the image to load with TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005159
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005160 bootm_low - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5161 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5162 a hexadecimal number and defines lowest address allowed
5163 for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_size"
5164 environment variable. Address defined by "bootm_low" is
5165 also the base of the initial memory mapping for the Linux
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005166 kernel -- see the description of CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ and
5167 bootm_mapsize.
5168
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005169 bootm_mapsize - Size of the initial memory mapping for the Linux kernel.
Grant Likelyc3624e62011-03-28 09:58:43 +00005170 This variable is given as a hexadecimal number and it
5171 defines the size of the memory region starting at base
5172 address bootm_low that is accessible by the Linux kernel
5173 during early boot. If unset, CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ is used
5174 as the default value if it is defined, and bootm_size is
5175 used otherwise.
Bartlomiej Sieka7d721e32008-04-14 15:44:16 +02005176
5177 bootm_size - Memory range available for image processing in the bootm
5178 command can be restricted. This variable is given as
5179 a hexadecimal number and defines the size of the region
5180 allowed for use by the bootm command. See also "bootm_low"
5181 environment variable.
5182
Bartlomiej Sieka4bae9092008-10-01 15:26:31 +02005183 updatefile - Location of the software update file on a TFTP server, used
5184 by the automatic software update feature. Please refer to
5185 documentation in doc/README.update for more details.
5186
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005187 autoload - if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'),
5188 "bootp" will just load perform a lookup of the
5189 configuration from the BOOTP server, but not try to
5190 load any image using TFTP
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005191
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005192 autostart - if set to "yes", an image loaded using the "bootp",
5193 "rarpboot", "tftpboot" or "diskboot" commands will
5194 be automatically started (by internally calling
5195 "bootm")
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005196
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005197 If set to "no", a standalone image passed to the
5198 "bootm" command will be copied to the load address
5199 (and eventually uncompressed), but NOT be started.
5200 This can be used to load and uncompress arbitrary
5201 data.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005202
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005203 fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
5204 flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
Shawn Guofa34f6b2012-01-09 21:54:08 +00005205 For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
5206 at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
5207 only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
5208 may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
5209 device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
5210 of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
5211 access it during the boot procedure.
5212
David A. Longa28afca2011-07-09 16:40:19 -04005213 If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
5214 the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
5215 to work it must reside in writable memory, have
5216 sufficient padding on the end of it for u-boot to
5217 add the information it needs into it, and the memory
5218 must be accessible by the kernel.
5219
Simon Glasseea63e02011-10-24 19:15:34 +00005220 fdtcontroladdr- if set this is the address of the control flattened
5221 device tree used by U-Boot when CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is
5222 defined.
5223
wdenk17ea1172004-06-06 21:51:03 +00005224 i2cfast - (PPC405GP|PPC405EP only)
5225 if set to 'y' configures Linux I2C driver for fast
5226 mode (400kHZ). This environment variable is used in
5227 initialization code. So, for changes to be effective
5228 it must be saved and board must be reset.
5229
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005230 initrd_high - restrict positioning of initrd images:
5231 If this variable is not set, initrd images will be
5232 copied to the highest possible address in RAM; this
5233 is usually what you want since it allows for
5234 maximum initrd size. If for some reason you want to
5235 make sure that the initrd image is loaded below the
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005236 CONFIG_SYS_BOOTMAPSZ limit, you can set this environment
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005237 variable to a value of "no" or "off" or "0".
5238 Alternatively, you can set it to a maximum upper
5239 address to use (U-Boot will still check that it
5240 does not overwrite the U-Boot stack and data).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005241
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005242 For instance, when you have a system with 16 MB
5243 RAM, and want to reserve 4 MB from use by Linux,
5244 you can do this by adding "mem=12M" to the value of
5245 the "bootargs" variable. However, now you must make
5246 sure that the initrd image is placed in the first
5247 12 MB as well - this can be done with
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005248
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005249 setenv initrd_high 00c00000
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005250
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005251 If you set initrd_high to 0xFFFFFFFF, this is an
5252 indication to U-Boot that all addresses are legal
5253 for the Linux kernel, including addresses in flash
5254 memory. In this case U-Boot will NOT COPY the
5255 ramdisk at all. This may be useful to reduce the
5256 boot time on your system, but requires that this
5257 feature is supported by your Linux kernel.
wdenk4a6fd342003-04-12 23:38:12 +00005258
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005259 ipaddr - IP address; needed for tftpboot command

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005271
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005272 bootstopkey - see CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005273
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005274 ethprime - controls which interface is used first.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005275
Mike Frysingere2a53452011-10-02 10:01:27 +00005276 ethact - controls which interface is currently active.
5277 For example you can do the following
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005278
Heiko Schocher48690d82010-07-20 17:45:02 +02005279 => setenv ethact FEC
5280 => ping 192.168.0.1 # traffic sent on FEC
5281 => setenv ethact SCC
5282 => ping 10.0.0.1 # traffic sent on SCC
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005283
Matthias Fuchse1692572008-01-17 07:45:05 +01005284 ethrotate - When set to "no" U-Boot does not go through all
5285 available network interfaces.
5286 It just stays at the currently selected interface.
5287
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005288 netretry - When set to "no" each network operation will
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005289 either succeed or fail without retrying.
5290 When set to "once" the network operation will
5291 fail when all the available network interfaces
5292 are tried once without success.
5293 Useful on scripts which control the retry operation
5294 themselves.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005295
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDb4e2f892009-01-31 09:53:39 +01005296 npe_ucode - set load address for the NPE microcode
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARDa1cf0272008-01-07 08:41:34 +01005297
Simon Glass8d51aac2013-07-16 20:10:00 -07005298 silent_linux - If set then linux will be told to boot silently, by
5299 changing the console to be empty. If "yes" it will be
5300 made silent. If "no" it will not be made silent. If
5301 unset, then it will be made silent if the U-Boot console
5302 is silent.
5303
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005304 tftpsrcport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's
Wolfgang Denkecb0ccd2005-09-24 22:37:32 +02005305 UDP source port.
5306
Wolfgang Denk28cb9372005-09-24 23:25:46 +02005307 tftpdstport - If this is set, the value is used for TFTP's UDP
5308 destination port instead of the Well Know Port 69.
5309
Wolfgang Denkc96f86e2010-01-17 23:55:53 +01005310 tftpblocksize - Block size to use for TFTP transfers; if not set,
5311 we use the TFTP server's default block size
5312
5313 tftptimeout - Retransmission timeout for TFTP packets (in milli-
5314 seconds, minimum value is 1000 = 1 second). Defines
5315 when a packet is considered to be lost so it has to
5316 be retransmitted. The default is 5000 = 5 seconds.
5317 Lowering this value may make downloads succeed
5318 faster in networks with high packet loss rates or
5319 with unreliable TFTP servers.
5320
5321 vlan - When set to a value < 4095 the traffic over
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005322 Ethernet is encapsulated/received over 802.1q
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005323 VLAN tagged frames.
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005324
Jason Hobbsdc0b7b02011-08-31 05:37:28 +00005325The following image location variables contain the location of images
5326used in booting. The "Image" column gives the role of the image and is
5327not an environment variable name. The other columns are environment
5328variable names. "File Name" gives the name of the file on a TFTP
5329server, "RAM Address" gives the location in RAM the image will be
5330loaded to, and "Flash Location" gives the image's address in NOR
5331flash or offset in NAND flash.
5332
5333*Note* - these variables don't have to be defined for all boards, some
5334boards currenlty use other variables for these purposes, and some
5335boards use these variables for other purposes.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005344The following environment variables may be used and automatically
5345updated by the network boot commands ("bootp" and "rarpboot"),
5346depending the information provided by your boot server:
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005347
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005348 bootfile - see above
5349 dnsip - IP address of your Domain Name Server
5350 dnsip2 - IP address of your secondary Domain Name Server
5351 gatewayip - IP address of the Gateway (Router) to use
5352 hostname - Target hostname
5353 ipaddr - see above
5354 netmask - Subnet Mask
5355 rootpath - Pathname of the root filesystem on the NFS server
5356 serverip - see above
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005357
wdenka3d991b2004-04-15 21:48:45 +00005358
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005359There are two special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005360
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005361 serial# - contains hardware identification information such
5362 as type string and/or serial number
5363 ethaddr - Ethernet address
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005364
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005365These variables can be set only once (usually during manufacturing of
5366the board). U-Boot refuses to delete or overwrite these variables
5367once they have been set once.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005368
5369
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005370Further special Environment Variables:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005371
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005372 ver - Contains the U-Boot version string as printed
5373 with the "version" command. This variable is
5374 readonly (see CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE).

Joe Hershberger170ab112012-12-11 22:16:24 -06005381Callback functions for environment variables:
5382---------------------------------------------
5383
5384For some environment variables, the behavior of u-boot needs to change
5385when their values are changed. This functionailty allows functions to
5386be associated with arbitrary variables. On creation, overwrite, or
5387deletion, the callback will provide the opportunity for some side
5388effect to happen or for the change to be rejected.
5389
5390The callbacks are named and associated with a function using the
5391U_BOOT_ENV_CALLBACK macro in your board or driver code.
5392
5393These callbacks are associated with variables in one of two ways. The
5394static list can be added to by defining CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_STATIC
5395in the board configuration to a string that defines a list of
5396associations. The list must be in the following format:
5397
5398 entry = variable_name[:callback_name]
5399 list = entry[,list]
5400
5401If the callback name is not specified, then the callback is deleted.
5402Spaces are also allowed anywhere in the list.
5403
5404Callbacks can also be associated by defining the ".callbacks" variable
5405with the same list format above. Any association in ".callbacks" will
5406override any association in the static list. You can define
5407CONFIG_ENV_CALLBACK_LIST_DEFAULT to a list (string) to define the
5408".callbacks" envirnoment variable in the default or embedded environment.

5412=====================
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005413
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005414There are two different command line parsers available with U-Boot:
5415the old "simple" one, and the much more powerful "hush" shell:
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005416
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005417Old, simple command line parser:
5418--------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005419
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005420- supports environment variables (through setenv / saveenv commands)
5421- several commands on one line, separated by ';'
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005422- variable substitution using "... ${name} ..." syntax
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005423- special characters ('$', ';') can be escaped by prefixing with '\',
5424 for example:
Wolfgang Denkfe126d82005-11-20 21:40:11 +01005425 setenv bootcmd bootm \${address}
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005426- You can also escape text by enclosing in single apostrophes, for example:
5427 setenv addip 'setenv bootargs $bootargs ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname::off'
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005428
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005429Hush shell:
5430-----------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005431
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005432- similar to Bourne shell, with control structures like
5433 if...then...else...fi, for...do...done; while...do...done,
5434 until...do...done, ...
5435- supports environment ("global") variables (through setenv / saveenv
5436 commands) and local shell variables (through standard shell syntax
5437 "name=value"); only environment variables can be used with "run"
5438 command
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005439
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005440General rules:
5441--------------
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005442
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005443(1) If a command line (or an environment variable executed by a "run"
5444 command) contains several commands separated by semicolon, and
5445 one of these commands fails, then the remaining commands will be
5446 executed anyway.
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005447
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005448(2) If you execute several variables with one call to run (i. e.
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005449 calling run with a list of variables as arguments), any failing
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005450 command will cause "run" to terminate, i. e. the remaining
5451 variables are not executed.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005453Note for Redundant Ethernet Interfaces:
5454=======================================
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005455
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02005456Some boards come with redundant Ethernet interfaces; U-Boot supports
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005457such configurations and is capable of automatic selection of a
5458"working" interface when needed. MAC assignment works as follows:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005459
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005460Network interfaces are numbered eth0, eth1, eth2, ... Corresponding
5461MAC addresses can be stored in the environment as "ethaddr" (=>eth0),
5462"eth1addr" (=>eth1), "eth2addr", ...
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005463
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005464If the network interface stores some valid MAC address (for instance
5465in SROM), this is used as default address if there is NO correspon-
5466ding setting in the environment; if the corresponding environment
5467variable is set, this overrides the settings in the card; that means:
wdenkf07771c2003-05-28 08:06:31 +00005468
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005469o If the SROM has a valid MAC address, and there is no address in the
5470 environment, the SROM's address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005471
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005472o If there is no valid address in the SROM, and a definition in the
5473 environment exists, then the value from the environment variable is
5474 used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005475
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005476o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and
5477 both addresses are the same, this MAC address is used.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005478
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005479o If both the SROM and the environment contain a MAC address, and the
5480 addresses differ, the value from the environment is used and a
5481 warning is printed.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005482
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005483o If neither SROM nor the environment contain a MAC address, an error
5484 is raised.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005485
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005486If Ethernet drivers implement the 'write_hwaddr' function, valid MAC addresses
Wolfgang Denkc0f40852011-10-26 10:21:21 +00005487will be programmed into hardware as part of the initialization process. This
Ben Warrenecee9322010-04-26 11:11:46 -07005488may be skipped by setting the appropriate 'ethmacskip' environment variable.
5489The naming convention is as follows:
5490"ethmacskip" (=>eth0), "eth1macskip" (=>eth1) etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005491
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005492Image Formats:
5493==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005494
Marian Balakowicz3310c542008-03-12 12:13:13 +01005495U-Boot is capable of booting (and performing other auxiliary operations on)
5496images in two formats:
5497
5498New uImage format (FIT)
5499-----------------------
5500
5501Flexible and powerful format based on Flattened Image Tree -- FIT (similar
5502to Flattened Device Tree). It allows the use of images with multiple
5503components (several kernels, ramdisks, etc.), with contents protected by
5504SHA1, MD5 or CRC32. More details are found in the doc/uImage.FIT directory.
5505
5506
5507Old uImage format
5508-----------------
5509
5510Old image format is based on binary files which can be basically anything,
5511preceded by a special header; see the definitions in include/image.h for
5512details; basically, the header defines the following image properties:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005513
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005514* Target Operating System (Provisions for OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD,

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005528The header is marked by a special Magic Number, and both the header
5529and the data portions of the image are secured against corruption by
5530CRC32 checksums.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005531
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005532
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005533Linux Support:
5534==============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005535
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005536Although U-Boot should support any OS or standalone application
5537easily, the main focus has always been on Linux during the design of
5538U-Boot.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005539
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005540U-Boot includes many features that so far have been part of some
5541special "boot loader" code within the Linux kernel. Also, any
5542"initrd" images to be used are no longer part of one big Linux image;
5543instead, kernel and "initrd" are separate images. This implementation
5544serves several purposes:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005545
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005546- the same features can be used for other OS or standalone
5547 applications (for instance: using compressed images to reduce the
5548 Flash memory footprint)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005549
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005550- it becomes much easier to port new Linux kernel versions because
5551 lots of low-level, hardware dependent stuff are done by U-Boot
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005552
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005553- the same Linux kernel image can now be used with different "initrd"
5554 images; of course this also means that different kernel images can
5555 be run with the same "initrd". This makes testing easier (you don't
5556 have to build a new "zImage.initrd" Linux image when you just
5557 change a file in your "initrd"). Also, a field-upgrade of the
5558 software is easier now.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005559
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005560
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005561Linux HOWTO:
5562============
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005563
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005564Porting Linux to U-Boot based systems:
5565---------------------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005566
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005567U-Boot cannot save you from doing all the necessary modifications to
5568configure the Linux device drivers for use with your target hardware
5569(no, we don't intend to provide a full virtual machine interface to
5570Linux :-).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005571
Stefan Roesea47a12b2010-04-15 16:07:28 +02005572But now you can ignore ALL boot loader code (in arch/powerpc/mbxboot).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005573
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005574Just make sure your machine specific header file (for instance
5575include/asm-ppc/tqm8xx.h) includes the same definition of the Board
Markus Heidelberg1dc30692008-09-07 20:18:27 +02005576Information structure as we define in include/asm-<arch>/u-boot.h,
5577and make sure that your definition of IMAP_ADDR uses the same value
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02005578as your U-Boot configuration in CONFIG_SYS_IMMR.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005579
Simon Glass2eb31b12014-06-11 23:29:46 -06005580Note that U-Boot now has a driver model, a unified model for drivers.
5581If you are adding a new driver, plumb it into driver model. If there
5582is no uclass available, you are encouraged to create one. See
5583doc/driver-model.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005585
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005586Configuring the Linux kernel:
5587-----------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005588
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005589No specific requirements for U-Boot. Make sure you have some root
5590device (initial ramdisk, NFS) for your target system.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005591
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005592
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005593Building a Linux Image:
5594-----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005595
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005596With U-Boot, "normal" build targets like "zImage" or "bzImage" are
5597not used. If you use recent kernel source, a new build target
5598"uImage" will exist which automatically builds an image usable by
5599U-Boot. Most older kernels also have support for a "pImage" target,
5600which was introduced for our predecessor project PPCBoot and uses a
5601100% compatible format.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005602
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005603Example:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005604
Holger Freytherab584d62014-08-04 09:26:05 +02005605 make TQM850L_defconfig
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005606 make oldconfig
5607 make dep
5608 make uImage
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005609
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005610The "uImage" build target uses a special tool (in 'tools/mkimage') to
5611encapsulate a compressed Linux kernel image with header information,
5612CRC32 checksum etc. for use with U-Boot. This is what we are doing:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005613
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005614* build a standard "vmlinux" kernel image (in ELF binary format):
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005615
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005616* convert the kernel into a raw binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005617
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005618 ${CROSS_COMPILE}-objcopy -O binary \
5619 -R .note -R .comment \
5620 -S vmlinux linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005621
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005622* compress the binary image:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005623
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005624 gzip -9 linux.bin
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005625
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005626* package compressed binary image for U-Boot:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005627
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005628 mkimage -A ppc -O linux -T kernel -C gzip \
5629 -a 0 -e 0 -n "Linux Kernel Image" \
5630 -d linux.bin.gz uImage
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005631
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005632
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005633The "mkimage" tool can also be used to create ramdisk images for use
5634with U-Boot, either separated from the Linux kernel image, or
5635combined into one file. "mkimage" encapsulates the images with a 64
5636byte header containing information about target architecture,
5637operating system, image type, compression method, entry points, time
5638stamp, CRC32 checksums, etc.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005639
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005640"mkimage" can be called in two ways: to verify existing images and
5641print the header information, or to build new images.
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005642
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005643In the first form (with "-l" option) mkimage lists the information
5644contained in the header of an existing U-Boot image; this includes
5645checksum verification:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005646
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005647 tools/mkimage -l image
5648 -l ==> list image header information
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005649
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005650The second form (with "-d" option) is used to build a U-Boot image
5651from a "data file" which is used as image payload:
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005652
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005653 tools/mkimage -A arch -O os -T type -C comp -a addr -e ep \
5654 -n name -d data_file image
5655 -A ==> set architecture to 'arch'
5656 -O ==> set operating system to 'os'
5657 -T ==> set image type to 'type'
5658 -C ==> set compression type 'comp'

5662 -d ==> use image data from 'datafile'
wdenk24ee89b2002-11-03 17:56:27 +00005663
wdenk69459792004-05-29 16:53:29 +00005664Right now, all Linux kernels for PowerPC systems use the same load
5665address (0x00000000), but the entry point address depends on the
5666kernel version:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005667
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005668- 2.2.x kernels have the entry point at 0x0000000C,
5669- 2.3.x and later kernels have the entry point at 0x00000000.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005670
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005671So a typical call to build a U-Boot image would read:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005672

5695speed for memory and install an UNCOMPRESSED image instead: this
5696needs more space in Flash, but boots much faster since it does not
5697need to be uncompressed:

Guilherme Maciel Ferreiraa804b5c2013-12-01 12:43:11 -07005725The "dumpimage" is a tool to disassemble images built by mkimage. Its "-i"
5726option performs the converse operation of the mkimage's second form (the "-d"
5727option). Given an image built by mkimage, the dumpimage extracts a "data file"
5728from the image:
5729
5730 tools/dumpimage -i image -p position data_file

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005735Installing a Linux Image:
5736-------------------------
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005737
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005738To downloading a U-Boot image over the serial (console) interface,
5739you must convert the image to S-Record format:
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005740
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005741 objcopy -I binary -O srec examples/image examples/image.srec
wdenkdb01a2e2004-04-15 23:14:49 +00005742
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005743The 'objcopy' does not understand the information in the U-Boot
5744image header, so the resulting S-Record file will be relative to
5745address 0x00000000. To load it to a given address, you need to
5746specify the target address as 'offset' parameter with the 'loads'
5747command.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005748

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005915More About U-Boot Image Types:
5916------------------------------
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005917
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005918U-Boot supports the following image types:
wdenk6069ff22003-02-28 00:49:47 +00005919
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005920 "Standalone Programs" are directly runnable in the environment
5921 provided by U-Boot; it is expected that (if they behave
5922 well) you can continue to work in U-Boot after return from
5923 the Standalone Program.
5924 "OS Kernel Images" are usually images of some Embedded OS which
5925 will take over control completely. Usually these programs
5926 will install their own set of exception handlers, device
5927 drivers, set up the MMU, etc. - this means, that you cannot
5928 expect to re-enter U-Boot except by resetting the CPU.
5929 "RAMDisk Images" are more or less just data blocks, and their
5930 parameters (address, size) are passed to an OS kernel that is
5931 being started.
5932 "Multi-File Images" contain several images, typically an OS
5933 (Linux) kernel image and one or more data images like
5934 RAMDisks. This construct is useful for instance when you want
5935 to boot over the network using BOOTP etc., where the boot
5936 server provides just a single image file, but you want to get
5937 for instance an OS kernel and a RAMDisk image.
stroesec1551ea2003-04-04 15:53:41 +00005938
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005939 "Multi-File Images" start with a list of image sizes, each
5940 image size (in bytes) specified by an "uint32_t" in network

5942 Immediately after the terminating 0 follow the images, one by
5943 one, all aligned on "uint32_t" boundaries (size rounded up to
5944 a multiple of 4 bytes).

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005946 "Firmware Images" are binary images containing firmware (like
5947 U-Boot or FPGA images) which usually will be programmed to
5948 flash memory.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005950 "Script files" are command sequences that will be executed by
5951 U-Boot's command interpreter; this feature is especially
5952 useful when you configure U-Boot to use a real shell (hush)
5953 as command interpreter.

5956-------------------------
5957
5958On some platforms, it's possible to boot Linux zImage. This is done
5959using the "bootz" command. The syntax of "bootz" command is the same
5960as the syntax of "bootm" command.
5961
Tom Rini8ac28562013-05-16 11:40:11 -04005962Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_RAW_INITRD allows user to supply
Marek Vasut017e1f32012-03-18 11:47:58 +00005963kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
5964address of the initrd must be augmented by it's size, in the following
5965format: "<initrd addres>:<initrd size>".

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005971One of the features of U-Boot is that you can dynamically load and
5972run "standalone" applications, which can use some resources of
5973U-Boot like console I/O functions or interrupt services.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00005974
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00005975Two simple examples are included with the sources:

5981application; it is automatically compiled when you build U-Boot.
5982It's configured to run at address 0x00040004, so you can play with it
5983like that:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006009Another example, which demonstrates how to register a CPM interrupt
6010handler with the U-Boot code, can be found in 'examples/timer.c'.
6011Here, a CPM timer is set up to generate an interrupt every second.
6012The interrupt service routine is trivial, just printing a '.'
6013character, but this is just a demo program. The application can be
6014controlled by the following keys:

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006080Starting at version 0.9.2, U-Boot supports NetBSD both as host
6081(build U-Boot) and target system (boots NetBSD/mpc8xx).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006082
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006083Building requires a cross environment; it is known to work on
6084NetBSD/i386 with the cross-powerpc-netbsd-1.3 package (you will also
6085need gmake since the Makefiles are not compatible with BSD make).
6086Note that the cross-powerpc package does not install include files;
6087attempting to build U-Boot will fail because <machine/ansi.h> is
6088missing. This file has to be installed and patched manually:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006089
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006090 # cd /usr/pkg/cross/powerpc-netbsd/include
6091 # mkdir powerpc
6092 # ln -s powerpc machine
6093 # cp /usr/src/sys/arch/powerpc/include/ansi.h powerpc/ansi.h
6094 # ${EDIT} powerpc/ansi.h ## must remove __va_list, _BSD_VA_LIST
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006095
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006096Native builds *don't* work due to incompatibilities between native
6097and U-Boot include files.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006099Booting assumes that (the first part of) the image booted is a
6100stage-2 loader which in turn loads and then invokes the kernel
6101proper. Loader sources will eventually appear in the NetBSD source
6102tree (probably in sys/arc/mpc8xx/stand/u-boot_stage2/); in the

6107=========================
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006108
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006109The following is not intended to be a complete description of every
6110implementation detail. However, it should help to understand the
6111inner workings of U-Boot and make it easier to port it to custom
6112hardware.

6116---------------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006117
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006118The implementation of U-Boot is complicated by the fact that U-Boot
6119starts running out of ROM (flash memory), usually without access to
6120system RAM (because the memory controller is not initialized yet).
6121This means that we don't have writable Data or BSS segments, and BSS
6122is not initialized as zero. To be able to get a C environment working
6123at all, we have to allocate at least a minimal stack. Implementation
6124options for this are defined and restricted by the CPU used: Some CPU
6125models provide on-chip memory (like the IMMR area on MPC8xx and
6126MPC826x processors), on others (parts of) the data cache can be
6127locked as (mis-) used as memory, etc.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006128
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006129 Chris Hallinan posted a good summary of these issues to the

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006137 Correct me if I'm wrong, folks, but the way I understand it
6138 is this: Using DCACHE as initial RAM for Stack, etc, does not
6139 require any physical RAM backing up the cache. The cleverness
6140 is that the cache is being used as a temporary supply of
6141 necessary storage before the SDRAM controller is setup. It's
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006142 beyond the scope of this list to explain the details, but you
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006143 can see how this works by studying the cache architecture and
6144 operation in the architecture and processor-specific manuals.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006145
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006146 OCM is On Chip Memory, which I believe the 405GP has 4K. It
6147 is another option for the system designer to use as an
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006148 initial stack/RAM area prior to SDRAM being available. Either
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006149 option should work for you. Using CS 4 should be fine if your
6150 board designers haven't used it for something that would
6151 cause you grief during the initial boot! It is frequently not
6152 used.
wdenk43d96162003-03-06 00:02:04 +00006153
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006154 CONFIG_SYS_INIT_RAM_ADDR should be somewhere that won't interfere
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006155 with your processor/board/system design. The default value
6156 you will find in any recent u-boot distribution in
Stefan Roese8a316c92005-08-01 16:49:12 +02006157 walnut.h should work for you. I'd set it to a value larger
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006158 than your SDRAM module. If you have a 64MB SDRAM module, set
6159 it above 400_0000. Just make sure your board has no resources
6160 that are supposed to respond to that address! That code in
6161 start.S has been around a while and should work as is when
6162 you get the config right.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006167It is essential to remember this, since it has some impact on the C
6168code for the initialization procedures:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006169
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006170* Initialized global data (data segment) is read-only. Do not attempt
6171 to write it.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006172
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006173* Do not use any uninitialized global data (or implicitely initialized
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006174 as zero data - BSS segment) at all - this is undefined, initiali-
6175 zation is performed later (when relocating to RAM).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006176
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006177* Stack space is very limited. Avoid big data buffers or things like
6178 that.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006179
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006180Having only the stack as writable memory limits means we cannot use
6181normal global data to share information beween the code. But it
6182turned out that the implementation of U-Boot can be greatly
6183simplified by making a global data structure (gd_t) available to all
6184functions. We could pass a pointer to this data as argument to _all_
6185functions, but this would bloat the code. Instead we use a feature of
6186the GCC compiler (Global Register Variables) to share the data: we
6187place a pointer (gd) to the global data into a register which we
6188reserve for this purpose.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006189
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006190When choosing a register for such a purpose we are restricted by the
6191relevant (E)ABI specifications for the current architecture, and by
6192GCC's implementation.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006194For PowerPC, the following registers have specific use:
6195 R1: stack pointer
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006196 R2: reserved for system use
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006197 R3-R4: parameter passing and return values
6198 R5-R10: parameter passing
6199 R13: small data area pointer
6200 R30: GOT pointer
6201 R31: frame pointer

Joakim Tjernlunde6bee802010-01-19 14:41:58 +01006203 (U-Boot also uses R12 as internal GOT pointer. r12
6204 is a volatile register so r12 needs to be reset when
6205 going back and forth between asm and C)
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006206
Wolfgang Denke7670f62008-02-14 22:43:22 +01006207 ==> U-Boot will use R2 to hold a pointer to the global data
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006208
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006209 Note: on PPC, we could use a static initializer (since the
6210 address of the global data structure is known at compile time),
6211 but it turned out that reserving a register results in somewhat
6212 smaller code - although the code savings are not that big (on
6213 average for all boards 752 bytes for the whole U-Boot image,
6214 624 text + 127 data).

6239
6240 ==> U-Boot will use gp to hold a pointer to the global data
6241
6242 Note: on Nios II, we give "-G0" option to gcc and don't use gp
6243 to access small data sections, so gp is free.

6258
Wolfgang Denkd87080b2006-03-31 18:32:53 +02006259NOTE: DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR must be used with file-global scope,
6260or current versions of GCC may "optimize" the code too much.

wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006262Memory Management:
6263------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006264
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006265U-Boot runs in system state and uses physical addresses, i.e. the
6266MMU is not used either for address mapping nor for memory protection.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006267
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006268The available memory is mapped to fixed addresses using the memory
6269controller. In this process, a contiguous block is formed for each
6270memory type (Flash, SDRAM, SRAM), even when it consists of several
6271physical memory banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006272
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006273U-Boot is installed in the first 128 kB of the first Flash bank (on
6274TQM8xxL modules this is the range 0x40000000 ... 0x4001FFFF). After
6275booting and sizing and initializing DRAM, the code relocates itself
6276to the upper end of DRAM. Immediately below the U-Boot code some
Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD6d0f6bc2008-10-16 15:01:15 +02006277memory is reserved for use by malloc() [see CONFIG_SYS_MALLOC_LEN
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006278configuration setting]. Below that, a structure with global Board
6279Info data is placed, followed by the stack (growing downward).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006280
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006281Additionally, some exception handler code is copied to the low 8 kB
6282of DRAM (0x00000000 ... 0x00001FFF).
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006283
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006284So a typical memory configuration with 16 MB of DRAM could look like
6285this:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006286
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006287 0x0000 0000 Exception Vector code
6288 :
6289 0x0000 1FFF
6290 0x0000 2000 Free for Application Use
6291 :
6292 :
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006293
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006294 :
6295 :
6296 0x00FB FF20 Monitor Stack (Growing downward)
6297 0x00FB FFAC Board Info Data and permanent copy of global data
6298 0x00FC 0000 Malloc Arena
6299 :
6300 0x00FD FFFF
6301 0x00FE 0000 RAM Copy of Monitor Code
6302 ... eventually: LCD or video framebuffer
6303 ... eventually: pRAM (Protected RAM - unchanged by reset)
6304 0x00FF FFFF [End of RAM]
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006305
6306
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006307System Initialization:
6308----------------------
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006309
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006310In the reset configuration, U-Boot starts at the reset entry point
Marcel Ziswiler11ccc332008-07-09 08:17:15 +02006311(on most PowerPC systems at address 0x00000100). Because of the reset
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006312configuration for CS0# this is a mirror of the onboard Flash memory.
6313To be able to re-map memory U-Boot then jumps to its link address.
6314To be able to implement the initialization code in C, a (small!)
6315initial stack is set up in the internal Dual Ported RAM (in case CPUs
6316which provide such a feature like MPC8xx or MPC8260), or in a locked
6317part of the data cache. After that, U-Boot initializes the CPU core,
6318the caches and the SIU.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006319
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006320Next, all (potentially) available memory banks are mapped using a
6321preliminary mapping. For example, we put them on 512 MB boundaries
6322(multiples of 0x20000000: SDRAM on 0x00000000 and 0x20000000, Flash
6323on 0x40000000 and 0x60000000, SRAM on 0x80000000). Then UPM A is
6324programmed for SDRAM access. Using the temporary configuration, a
6325simple memory test is run that determines the size of the SDRAM
6326banks.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006327
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006328When there is more than one SDRAM bank, and the banks are of
6329different size, the largest is mapped first. For equal size, the first
6330bank (CS2#) is mapped first. The first mapping is always for address
63310x00000000, with any additional banks following immediately to create
6332contiguous memory starting from 0.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006333
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006334Then, the monitor installs itself at the upper end of the SDRAM area
6335and allocates memory for use by malloc() and for the global Board
6336Info data; also, the exception vector code is copied to the low RAM
6337pages, and the final stack is set up.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006338
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006339Only after this relocation will you have a "normal" C environment;
6340until that you are restricted in several ways, mostly because you are
6341running from ROM, and because the code will have to be relocated to a
6342new address in RAM.

wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006421
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006422All contributions to U-Boot should conform to the Linux kernel
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006423coding style; see the file "Documentation/CodingStyle" and the script
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006424"scripts/Lindent" in your Linux kernel source directory.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006425
Detlev Zundel2c051652006-09-01 15:39:02 +02006426Source files originating from a different project (for example the
6427MTD subsystem) are generally exempt from these guidelines and are not
6428reformated to ease subsequent migration to newer versions of those
6429sources.
6430
6431Please note that U-Boot is implemented in C (and to some small parts in
6432Assembler); no C++ is used, so please do not use C++ style comments (//)
6433in your code.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006434
6435Please also stick to the following formatting rules:
6436- remove any trailing white space
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006437- use TAB characters for indentation and vertical alignment, not spaces
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006438- make sure NOT to use DOS '\r\n' line feeds
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006439- do not add more than 2 consecutive empty lines to source files
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006440- do not add trailing empty lines to source files
6441
6442Submissions which do not conform to the standards may be returned
6443with a request to reformat the changes.

6457
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006458When you send a patch, please include the following information with
6459it:
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006460
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006461* For bug fixes: a description of the bug and how your patch fixes
6462 this bug. Please try to include a way of demonstrating that the
6463 patch actually fixes something.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006464
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006465* For new features: a description of the feature and your
6466 implementation.
wdenkc6097192002-11-03 00:24:07 +00006467
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006468* A CHANGELOG entry as plaintext (separate from the patch)
6469
6470* For major contributions, your entry to the CREDITS file
6471
Albert ARIBAUD27af9302013-09-11 15:52:51 +02006472* When you add support for a new board, don't forget to add a
6473 maintainer e-mail address to the boards.cfg file, too.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006474
6475* If your patch adds new configuration options, don't forget to
6476 document these in the README file.
6477
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006478* The patch itself. If you are using git (which is *strongly*
6479 recommended) you can easily generate the patch using the
Wolfgang Denk7ca92962011-07-27 10:59:55 +00006480 "git format-patch". If you then use "git send-email" to send it to
Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006481 the U-Boot mailing list, you will avoid most of the common problems
6482 with some other mail clients.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006484 If you cannot use git, use "diff -purN OLD NEW". If your version of
6485 diff does not support these options, then get the latest version of
6486 GNU diff.

Wolfgang Denk218ca722008-03-26 10:40:12 +01006488 The current directory when running this command shall be the parent
6489 directory of the U-Boot source tree (i. e. please make sure that
6490 your patch includes sufficient directory information for the
6491 affected files).
6492
6493 We prefer patches as plain text. MIME attachments are discouraged,
6494 and compressed attachments must not be used.
wdenk2729af92004-05-03 20:45:30 +00006495
6496* If one logical set of modifications affects or creates several
6497 files, all these changes shall be submitted in a SINGLE patch file.
6498
6499* Changesets that contain different, unrelated modifications shall be
6500 submitted as SEPARATE patches, one patch per changeset.

6504
6505* Before sending the patch, run the MAKEALL script on your patched
6506 source tree and make sure that no errors or warnings are reported
6507 for any of the boards.
6508
6509* Keep your modifications to the necessary minimum: A patch
6510 containing several unrelated changes or arbitrary reformats will be
6511 returned with a request to re-formatting / split it.
6512
6513* If you modify existing code, make sure that your new code does not
6514 add to the memory footprint of the code ;-) Small is beautiful!
6515 When adding new features, these should compile conditionally only
6516 (using #ifdef), and the resulting code with the new feature
6517 disabled must not need more memory than the old code without your
6518 modification.

6521 u-boot mailing list. Bigger patches will be moderated. If they are
6522 reasonable and not too big, they will be acknowledged. But patches
6523 bigger than the size limit should be avoided.
